Football.

The Warren Football team. through its
manager, A. w. Selak, has been trying
for u number of years to get game with
the strong West Chester team. The
manager Of the West Chester team wrote
Mr.. Selak that they would play the first
game with the Warren at West Chester
If they would pay their own expenses
and receive none of the gate receipts, and
they would come down here on the same
terms This looked like fim-ham, and
the Warren management wanted each
team to post a forfeit with some response
BILE person. The West Chester team
agreed to S25 forfeit, but that is an
other foxy move of the West Chesters'
manager, for if the Warren goes to West
Chester they do not get a cent, and the
other team gets it ALL and they can easily
afford to lose the forfeit by not coming
here to play the return game. If the
manager of the West Chester team means
business let him post forfeit of 5000 in
responsible hands, and the Warren will
do the same. Then the people OF Will
mington and West Chester will see a
game that they have always wanted to
see.

AIWEST YARD MYSTERY.
James Deyine or Harry Lee
Badly Cut.
TELLS DIFFERENT STORIES.
In .. His Last Tale1 He Claimslzto
Have Been StabbedIand
Robbed by Fellow HO-
bOes in a Car.

Some queer things happen in the
West Yard sometimes and railroad men
are used to them, and can usually guess
pretty close as to the cause. Last night
however, produced mystery. About
half past 10 o'clock man was noticed
staggering about the yard, and as Ne
seemed in a fair way to be injured by
some Of the trains that dodge necessarily
up and down the many tracks, the men
investigated. They found him bleeding
from numerous cuts and stabs.and other
wise cruelty mangled. He was in Il pitt
able condition, but refused to give his
name or any information regarding him
self, and accounted for his injuries by
saying that he had fallen off train. He
did not want to be helped, but seeing his
conditioniit iwasi thought best to bring
him to the. city, and cswasssaccordingly
put aboard shifter and. brought to the
P, W. NIB. depot. The officers Of the
patrol were notified and took him to the
Delaware. Hospital.
According to the story he told the Off
1ar "a n,1,,,,r 80
South street! Brooklyn. He came in on
south-bound freight about O'Clock, in
company with five other men. He
claims that he does not know them, and
says that, finding that he had some
money in his possession they tried to
force him to give it up. He resisted, and
in the melee he was cut several times.
He was finally worsted and robbed of S24
which he claims to have had, and
pitched out of the car in the West Yard.
His story may or may not be true.
The general impression among the rail-
road men seems to be that he did not
tell the truth.
1t is certain that his injuries could
never have resulted from falling of
train, unless he fell on the points of two
or three knives. His left arm was gashed
and cut in a terrible manner, and gap-
ing wound extended diagonally across
his left breast. AS to the story of his
having S24 it seems very unlikely that
he should be in possession of any such
sum, as his whole appearance was that
of an unusually dilapidated specimen of
the hobo, although investigation will
probably be made by the police authori-
ties and the facts of the case arrived at
by the time he RECEIVERS.
1t was found at the hospital that at
least two of his wounds were serious. DR..

Nothing Mysterious.

1t is very amusing to observe the
struggles of the Free-Trade press to as
certain how the discriminating duty
clause was slipped into" the new
Tariff. There is nothing strange about
it. The section as read, and as passed,
was submitted to every member of the
ways and means and finance commit
tees by the friends of American ship
ping. The clause was revised by Unit
ed States Senator Elkins of West Vir-
ginia, and general Information on this
subject was furnished to the members
of the committees together with draft
of the section by The American Pro-
tective Tariff League. There was moth
ing of a mysterious nature about the
proposition: nothing accidental. 1t was
purely intentional, for the sole purpose
of extending the policy Of Protection
to American transportation interests
both by land and sea.

From the duties upon imported to
bacco. the government receives a larxs
revenue. Under the Dingley Taiff what
Is known as filler tobacco pays from IS
to 50 cents per pound and wrapper to-
baccO from $1.S5 to $3.50 per pound.
There have been great frauds practiced
upon the government in the importa-
ton Of tobacco and it is pleasing to see
the present energetic policy Of the
treasury department in checking them.
The most common practice of under
valuation is what is known as "nested
gocds"-that is. bale OF tobacco may
contain a certain amount of wrapper
and certain amount of filters, and be
entered as filler tobacco, thus avoiding
the higher rate of duty upon the wrap
per tobacco. Another plan of avoiding
the collection Of the duties is to have
bales OF tobacco similarly packed,
part Of the bales being filler and an
other part being wrapper tobacco. but
all being entered as filler.
AS the appraisers department gen.
orally examines but one-tenth Of the
importatiOns. it will be seen that the
importer has good opportunity to
avoid the payment Of duties. Within
few days the treasury department
has instructed its appraiser to examine
all tobacco imports Of certain linea

This discovery only serves to illus

Is annually defrauded out Of millions
OF dollars on account of the tobacco
duties. 1t is safe to predict that this
will be corrected under the administra-
ton Of Secretary Gage.

Considerable fun is being made here

mark Hanna When wheat advanced
last fall during the campaign the Pop
ocratlc orators attributed its rise to
Mark Hanna and his myrmidons, a
most ridiculous charge. And now
senator Tillman reiterates the asser-
tion. The rise in wheat has been steady
since the country became confident
mat Bryan would be defeated. The
statistical abstract of the treasury de-
partment gives the wheat quotation in
New York on August q, 1896 as 81
cents. Wheat is now lowering in the
neighborhood of 100 cents. the advance
having been since that time fully So
cents per bushel. The wheat crop of
the world of last year was 2,430, 1897 900
bushels and the Corn Trade News" of
Liverpool estimates the present years
crop at 1888, 900 900 bushels. The adj
vance in value of the crops of this
year over that of last would according
to these figures, be in the neighbor-
hood of $75O, zoo, 900. Thus Mr.. Tillman
expects people to believe that Mark
Hanna can. for political purposes or
for any other purposes, advance the
wheat value of the world three-quar-
tiers of billion of dollars.
Director Preston has just issued a

OF Protection and Free Trade will be OF
interest to those American farmers
who are cattle raisers. During each year
of the democratic tariff there were near
" 227 900 head of foreign cattle shipped
here from Mexico and Canada. and the
money sent out of this country to pay
for the foreign cattle averaged $l,575,-
