SPORTING.
A GENUINE SURPRISE"
Brat:Ieboro Beaten a. by BrattItboro
Academy.

Brat.Ieboro Beaten o. by Brattltboro
Academy.
A team composed OF the biggest and
beefest foot ball players that Brattleboro
commands got genuine surprise Tues
day when they went TO Stoves field al
West Brattleboro and met defe at, Ga, at
the hands Of the light Bratteboro Acade-
my team. The defeat of the Brattleboro
contingent came from the lack OF practice.
The men had not lined up together before
the game and were ignorant of the signals.
Some Of the men who have played good
ball in past years tack like a lot Of girls.
Too much praise cannot be given to the
Academy boys for their quick, snappy
playing. Their interference would have
done credit to a college team. The men
tackled low and hard. they never fumbled.
aud they gave an excellent exhibition Of
team work.
After three minutes play Fisher circled
Brauleboro's right end, shook off two
wOuld-be tacklers, and with a clear field
before him ran - yards and placed the
/ ball behind the goal posts. Fisher kicked

Academyst erritory when time was called.
In the second half Brattleboro took a
brace and bucked the line for short, steady
| gains by Cooley, while Henkel made two
| good runs around the ends. Bingham
| formerly centre for the University OF Yer
mont, opened up large holes in the line for
the runner. Cooey finally went through
the liue for a touchdown after II minutes
of play. Bingham failed at goal. At this
point disagreement took place as to the
length Of the second half. and vocal pyro-
technics instead of foot ball Kept the spec.

Darkness settled over the field in the
meantime, and it was necessary to call the
game.
The Academy was very strong back Of
the line. both in offensive and defensive
play. Eddy, the Academy Cad Eala1er,
played an excellent game in the line. Hen.
kl's all-round work was nollceably good
and Bingham, Stickuey and A len were
strong in the line. Cooley bucked the line

Sale of the Union Pacific.
The Government VIII Receive $685..
100000, Covering Its Claim In Full.

The interest of the United States gov
eminent in the Union Pacific railroad end
ed at quarter of II Monday morning when,
at the foreclosure sale of the mortgage
held by the United States, the road was
bought by the committee of Eastern cap
italsts formed for its Reorganization. The
proceedings at the sale, which took place
in Omaha, were purely formal and were
devoid of incident. This sale brings TO a
satisfactory end the relations of the gov
eminent to the Union Pacific company.
For several years efforts have been made
to settle the government claims, but not
until the Cleveland administration began
foreclosure proceedings was any real eff
fort made to pay the government for its
advances under the guarantee. An ar.
rangement was then made by which the
reorganization committee guaranteed a
bid of $45, 600, 900 over and above the first
mortgage, and with this guarantee appar-
emily securing the government from loss
the foreclosure sale was ordered. II was
afterwards discovered, however, that the
government lien did not cover several i'm
portant properties, and the new admins
tration therefore considered the propriety
of taking an appeal. Thereupon the re-
organization committee increased its guar
antee to $50,OOO0OO, and this was finally
raised to a sum which covers the value of
the railroad property, about Sl4, 600 900
in bonds, and the cash in the sinking fund,
making a grand total of S5S, 066, 459 TO
with which TO meet the government claim.
According to the estimate of the treasury
officials the government claim will be met
in full.
The Reorganization committee has a
property which, at the price paid for it,
may be expected to yield fair profit. The
Union Pacific was built before its time,
but it has now developed a business that
is doubtless sufficient to maintain it. Pri-
vate enterprise unaided could not have
constructed the road, and it may fairly be
argued that the government has been re-
paid for its advances, by the service of the
road in developing the Western country.

Harmon Graves One of the Best Foot
Ball Coaches In America.

Harmon Graves is a Burlington boy who
graduated from Trinity and from the law
department at Yale. He was a noted half
back on the foot ball teams of both insti-
buttons, and made his mark also as base
ball player. He was catcher and second
baseman for the summer team of college
students, mostly U. V. NJ. boys, who
played at Burlington two seasons, and had
series of games against the Brattleboro
team. Graves is nephew of Mrs w.
II. Collins and has often visited in Brat

Justice Harlan, of the Supreme
Court, in m address before the Yale
Law School, stated that he believed
of all documents in American history
he would have preferred to have been
the author of George Mason's bill
of rights. This was the first in
strument upon earth defining that
principle which underlies every free
government to day-the separation of
the three functions of government.
executive, Legislative and judicial He
took occasion also to express his dis
approval of Americans who are
ashamed of their Government by
saying that "there are those among
us who affect to believe that no gov
ernment without royalty can be endur-
ing. They affect the manners and
ways of those they see abroad, and
express disgust at the simplicity of all
that is American. 1t would be well
for them to stay permanently abroad.
They are Americans in name only and
deserve our pity rather than our con-
tempt"

A Berlin paper prints some facts re-
garding electric railways in Europe
which suggests to the San Francisco
Chronicle that the people in the Old
World are slow to take up a good
thing. According to this paper, Ger
many has 252 miles of electric rail
way, France 50 miles, Great Britain
and Ireland Co. miles, Austria Hun
gary A miles, Switzerland % miles
and Italy 24l miles. Servia, Russia
Belgium and Spain have but from GI
miles to 49, miles each. Contrasted
with the II, 900 miles of electric rail
way operated in the United States this
is a very sorry showing, and the dis
parity is emphasized when it is stated
that European countries are almost
as deficient in other methods of get
ting about as they are in electric rail
ways. The United States may learn
some things from the people of Eu-
rope, but the latter might derive some
excellent pointers from us on the sub
ject of moving passengers in big
cities.

NEW DEATH DEALER
Wire Gun of Unprecedented
Strength and Power.
Long Fight Between Guns and
ArmOr-Latter's Limit Reached.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3-Uncle sam is build
ing new l0-inch wire gun Of q new pattern
which Is calculated to astonish the world.
Nater before In the history of the manufac-
ture Of war implements has the world Wit
messed greater struggle for supremacy be-
tween gun and armor plate In every country
than now Governments and private con
Germs alike take part in this competition.
At this time, however, no one can safely
predict which Of the two, gua or ar
NOR, will be suprrp' As far as the navy
is concerned, the odds sre slightly in favor
Of the gun, for il see:ls as II the limit Of
thickness OF armor for men-of-war has been
reached. Congress, taking these facts into
consideration, made an appropriation last
year for tho construction OF l0-inch wire
gun, according to a new system, invented
by John Hamilton Brown an Amer
icap. This gun IS now being con-
structed at tho plant OF the Reading
iron company under the supervision OF
inspectors from the ordnance department Of
the U, 5. army. Browns invention attract
ed much attention here and abroad some
years ago. At thar time tho gun "a ilve-inch
experimental weapon. had been turned over
to the |. =. government to DO tested at the
proving grounds at Sandy Hook, The sub
sequent tests Of this gun proved that, while
1t could not be called perfect arm, II GER
tainly stood higher pressure aud showed
greater endurance than any gun constructed
heretofore. As u matter Of TACT the results
were accepted by France, England and
Germany. Nearly every power ot Europe
has tried its hand at wigs-w0unl guns, be-
fore and since that period. 1t appears now
that only England ana Russia made any h9al-
way, while France for the time being, dropped
the matter entirely, combining herself to
keeping watch over the achievements
Of other governments. Comparing the
details Of tho new gun with those
OF the old hve-inch Brown segmen-
tai gun, one finds that the inventor
evidently has taken a new departure. This
was necessary on account OF the develop
ment OF smokeless powder IN the meantime,
| To mention few alterations IN the new gun,
the number OF segments is greater. and the
dimensions Of tho powder chamber different,
the latter being shorter, but wider In the
new gun. The most important change, next
/ to the augmentation Of the number of seq
ments, however is that the liner Of the
core Of the gun will extend from
breech to muzzle. In the hyo-inch gun
only the powder chamber was lined.
The new liner will be- thicker all through,
and especially 50 in the neck Of the gun at
the end OF the powder chamber and In the
chase, The gun will weigh 30 tons and IS
/ expected 70 hurl GOO pound shell with
1 muzzle velocity Of 29S3 feet per second.
Such q velocity would give the projectlle. II

HELD WITHOUT BAIL.
Robbery, Murder and Discredited
StOry-All for the Gold Field

WAKEFIELD, Mass, Aug. Son July %
a shanty occupied by John Gallo, an Italian
laborer, and situated in the woods few
miles from here, was burned and Gallo's
body was found almost consumed. 1t
was evident that the man had been
robbed aud murdered. Later one Alfred G.
Williams, a young man we'll known here, told
story of being waylaid and robbed while
cycling. Suspicion pointed strongly to him,
however, as the murderer and he was ar
rested. Bills of the denomination known
to have been carried by Gallo were found
on his person, and in a subsequent search of
his room gold pieces Of the denomination
known to have been carried by the mur-
dered man were found under the carpet
1t is thought that in the attempted robbery
Gallo put up so strong a fight that
it was found necessary to kill
him, and that the bicycle story was ad-
vanced to account for the bruises and
scratches on Williams person. The latter
has pleaded not guilty and has been held
without bail for the grand jury. 1t is said
that Williams had got the gold craze, and
that he took that means to raise a necessary
fund
