1t would have been infinitely more
pleasing to Princeton adherents had
the Tigers made a better showing with
Cornell, in Ithaca. Cornell and La
fayette played tie game on the pre-
Vious Saturday, and while Pennsylva-
MIA was piling up forty-siX to the
Eastonians' nothing, the Tigers were
being held down to a pitiable two
touchdowns by the Comedians. 1t was
a hard contest at that and Princeton
is lucky that she was not scored on.
Lathrope, of this city, is credited with
excellent work in all the detailed re-
ports of the game:

Yale also had q score to settle with
tho Indians for the fight the Abori-
giness gave them last year. but un-
like Pennsylvania, she failed to square
accounts. She played a good game
however and possibly should have
scored more than she did "a to 8.
The Indians tallies were made on q
touch down and a drop kick from field
by their doughty little quarter back,
Hudson. 1t was made from the thirty
yard line and went over the bars as
clean as a whistle. Yale did her
scoring through the line and was
aided not a little by various clever
tricks. The big crowd shouted almost
to man for the Indians.

Drake Dinner

Lieutenant and Mrs. ]. C. Drake of
PIP Grand avenue celebrated the fourth
anniversary of their marriage Monday
evening with a very delightful dinner.
Covers were laid for fourteen and the
table decorations were of orange BIOS
SONS and white satin ribbon. Branches
thick with the fragrant blossoms were
twined about the center chandelier, and
pendent from it in gracefully dropping
and diverging lines to each place at the
tables edge were streamers of inch.
wide satin ribbon dotted the whole
length with sprays of blossoms and at
tached to the table with a small cluster
of them. Down the center of the table,
with dainty and artistic effect. lay the
wedding veil, its filmy meshes subduing
the luster of silver and cut glass with
which the table was luxuriously ap-
pointed. The lights in the silver can
delabra were shaded with pale green and
for a centerpiece there was very hand
some cut glass bowl holding masses of
the orange blossoms and their leaves.
At each place was a slender cut
glass vase holding cluster Of
the orange blossoms. Between the
folds of the VEIL broad bands of white
satin ribbon We're gracefully laid, fin
ished at the table ends with clusters OF
loops The mantel and buffet were
massed with branches and blossoms and
the air was heavy with their fragrance.
In the drawing rooms were great clusters
of exquisite pink carnations and bas
ket out of which tumbed white and gold
centaureas. In the library were scarlet
carnations and long-stemmed red roses
in tall crystal vases. The guests who
enjoyed Lieutenant and Mrs. Miners
hospitality were. DR.. and Mrs Charles

ROCK FOR THE BREAKWATER
Banning Bros. Will Compete for the
Harbor Construction

Notwithstanding the fact that Secre-
tary of War Alger has expressed fear
that the deep water harbor at San Pedro
cannot be constructed within the appro-
priation of 2,900,0 900 there will be appar-
emily a number of contractors ready to
take the work as soon as bids are called
for, and willing to do it at a sum well
within the specified limit.
The latest firm to declare itself on this
point is the Banning Bros. The firm
intend to put in bid for the rock as soon
as advertised, or else negotiate with
some contractor to sell the stone re-
quired. In an interview yesterday Han
cock Banning stated that while his firm
had not seen the specifications it
would be ready to furnish the work
needed in the construction of the break
water. 1t had figured on the break
water designed by the board of engineers
of 1891, and had found that it could be
constructed at profit of $1,O00,000 so
that ii is reasonable to suppose that the
appropriation or $4,000, 600 would be suf-
ficent.

The big charity card party which has
been in preparation for weeks is thing
of the past and was an unqualified sue
cess in every way. Most of the four
hundred were present, and enough more
to swell the list to nearly seven hundred,
assembled Tuesday evening in New
Turnverein hall in response to invita-
tions from those ladies who had under
taken the organization and charge OF
sections, to play cards for sweet char-
ity's sake. Everybody in the hail. par
ticipants and onlookers (of whom there
was a large number), contributed 90
cents, and as a result the Assistance
league and another committee of ladies
who have been interesting themselves
actively in the cause of unemployed
women. will have goodly sum of mon
ey to divide equally for their common
purpose of assistance. There was no
attempt at decorating the hall IN any
way Tuesday evening, nor were re-
freshments served. but each OF
the section organizers had pro-
vided two or four prizes Tor
her own especial coterie and every one of
the prizes was cake. 1t was a very
pretty sight and a unique one to see
the whole floor of the large hall and
the smaller one off from it literally COW
cred with tables and chairs ano. full of
people, all intent on cards. According
to request there wass little attempt at
dressing The ladies' were all in street
or at most carriage costume and most
of them wore hats, but the dainty and
beautiful flowers on the latter, the light
silk waists and the immense numbers
made a brilliant scene and an animated
one.

A MINER MURDERED

IMMEDIATELY
A Railroad to Randsburg to Be Be-
gun Before Another Month Be-
gins-Mining Operations

JOHANNESBURG, CAL, (Regular
Correspondence.) On Friday terrible
tragedy occurred five miles north of
Garlock, which resulted in the death of
Ben and John Higgins, who, with an
other brother William, were living in a
tent and engaged in mining in the vicin-
ity. A Mr. Campbell, of Garlock, who
was out looking for some stray horses.
stopped at the camp for lunch. He states
that the brothers were on the beet of
terms and seemed contented and hope
full. After he had finished lunch and re-
mounted his horse, he was attracted by
a loud outcry and on looking back saw
William Higgins running towards him
and wildly gesticulating. Mr.. Campbell
hastened to the camp and a few feet
beyond found the dead bodies of the
two brothers, both were shot in the
head. William said, that Immediately
after Mr.. Campbell had left Ben seized a
rifle and pistol and calling John outside
ordered him to take the pistol and de-
fend himself. throwing the weapon on
the ground. The other man seemed dazed
and made no movement toward picking
it up. Ben then shot his brother in the
head. killing him instantly and picking
up the pistol shot himself. No cause has
been given for the crime and the re-
naming brother is very reticent, claim
ing he knows of absolutely no quarrei
or trouble that would lead up to the
crime.
As stated in this correspondence eev-
eral days ago, the Santa Fe railroad
will begin the work of constructing a
branch road from Kramer to Johannes
