Games Played Yesterday-Ot
Sporting Matters.


Plttsburg, Pa, October 23.-There
was a sensational windup to the P. A. c.
Wheeling game here this afternoon.
About ten minutes before the close OF
the second half, the Tigers determined
to score. They had been complaining
OF rough treatment from P. A. c. men.
Getting started they did some bump
ing themselves. The ball was battered
down the field. Finally the P. A. c.
held on their fiye-yard line, and secured
the ball on downs A moment later
general fight occurred. Possibly
dozen men were swatted in the melee,
which was squelched by the police.
The grand rushes of the Wheeling
boys in the last ten minutes play was
the feature of the game. They acted
on the defensive in the fight and were
not to blame
The row was started by Coach Has
kins striking one of the Edwards boys
in the face. Then nearly all the players
took a hand and the Tigers didn't get
the worst end of it.
In the first half the visitors had the
ball to start off with. In was kicked
to the 15-yard line by Handlan, where
Ritchey got it. The latter made a
great run, but was called back, it being
claimed the ball was dead" The Wis
itors played well, and r. Edwards made
run of twelve yards around the right
end. The Tigers resorted to the quar-
ter kick time and again, but did not
have much success. p. A. G.. got II
yards for off-side play, and amid the
argument, the Tigers got the ball on
downs. They soon lost it, but regainea
it without much damage being done.
"A place kick was blocked spleDfidly
by the locals and fine playing followed
The ball was carried close to- the goal
of the visitors, and when Edwards tried
to make punt the kick was blocked
and the ball forced oyer the visitors

they failed to buck the local line strong

Prominent Citizen of Rood/ond Succumbs
to an OPERATION in San Fran
cfScO


WOODLAND, CAL, March 16.-News
was received in this city to-day announc-
ing the sudden death OF s. T. Mowder in
San Francisco from the result of an oper-
alton performed at the French Hospital.
Mr.. Mowder was one OF Woodlands s
leading citizens. He was native of
Ohio aged 81 years. He served long and
honorably in the Union army during the
War of the Rebellion. He enlisted in
Company d, Fourteenth Illinois Volun-
teers, which was organized for thirty day 8
near Jacksonville. Morgan County. Illi-
nois, on May II, 1861 He also was with
his regiment at Pittsburg Landing and on
the ma rch to Corinth, in which 200 of the
500 men comprising the body were killed,
wounded or missing.
In June, 1862, the regiment was sent to
Memphis, then to Bolivar, and on October
participated in the celebrated battle of
the Hatchie. In December of the same
year the regiment saw fighting in both
Mississippi and Tennessee and was finally
attached to the Sixteenth Army Corps at
Memphis, Tennessee.
Mr. Mowder served until the close of
the war and was honorably discharged.
He was a charter mem ber of John Geary
Post at Dixon, also prominent member
of manv other fraternal orders. He
leaves q widow and seven children.
The operation was performed to relieve
a cancerous affection. The patient died
thirty-six hours after the operation.

Captain Brunings Will Take
Command OF Her.

Many men have made fortunes through
going down to the sea in ships while
others have met with nothing but mis-
fortune. In the old days the clipper bark
Comet made money for all who handled
her, but iatterIy she has been hoodoo,
and every man who has paid purchase
money on her has lost it.
Several years ago J. H. Conradt, the
dentist purchased an interest in the ves-
sci and he and his associates at once pro-
ceeded to repair her. They paid $4,000 for
the clipper and spent another 5000 in
making her spick and span.
When ready for sea Captain Kirk was
given command and he took her to
Shanghai. While trading on the Chinese
coast the owners got dissatisfied and sent
out Captain Broadhurst to relieve. The
latter skipper will be remembered as the
man who lost the Alicia at the entrance
to the harbor Of Apia, in the Samoan
group. When he left here he had power
of attorney to handle the vessel and sell
her whenever he had a good opportunity.
A few days after taking command Broad
hurst sailed for Chez Foo on the yellow
River. While making the entrance the
Comet went ashore on the northeast head.
She was afterward got off and taken back
to Shanghai, where she was repaired.
Bills began to pour in and finally the YES
sci was attached. As there was no money
in sight she was put up at public auction
and sold to a man named Morrisey for
$4,000. 1t took almost that amount to
cover the expenses, SO the owners are out
aud injured. By last accounts Captain
Broadhurst was still in command OF the
Gomez.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, March
16.-Two teams picked from the football
eleven and the glee and mandolin clubs
crossed bats here this afternoon. Con-
trary to general expectations the musi-
clans won and the Varsity football players
saw their banners trailed in the dust. The
team made Is runs in the sixth inning.
This gave them lead that the opposing
team could not overcome, and the game
closed with q score of Is to IL.
Although the day was extremely disa-
greeable an enthusiastic crowd gathered
10 witness the contest. Jeffs SO was the
star of the football nine and Young '97
of the musical club team. Cotton, Rice,
Mcintosh, Smith, LanDagan and Fickert

"Heff'' Williams kept the spectators in
good humor in his coaching of the runners.

some difficulty in finding the bali. Other

The football team tried hard to tie the

The HarD DOR Com missioners held very
short session yesterday. WHAT little busi-
ness did come up was laid over until next
meeting, as Commissioner Cole is at
present in Sacramento. Among the mat
ters that went over was the question OF
substituting kiln-dried Oregon pine for
oak in the interior finishing OF the new
ferry depot. the question OF removing
solicitors from the Stockton steamers and
the request of the Pacific Pine Lumber
Company to reduce the rate OF wharfage
on Berry street.
The captain of the British ship da
had tilt with the board. He went up to
Port Costa without paying his wharfage
bill, and a collector was sent after him.
He was compelled to pay So so for ex-
penses. and objected to that amount. As
he was liable to penalty of $500 ana the
United States Marshal might have been
sent to collect the money, Captain koTH
should consider that he has got off very
light.
When the British snip Lathom sailed

The Lathom is now loading at Swansea for

Captain Brunlngs, the popular and &C

now in port, will bring the Lathom to can

master will be like remains 10 be seen,
but everybody knows Captain Brunings.
Since he came here as mate of a German
vessel in 1874 he has always made friends.
In 1882 he was here as he master of the.
Josefa, and for the last seven years he has
been coming here regularly in the Wat

honor of placing after his name the ini-
