On the sDow-clad gridiron at Fort
Douglas yesterday afternoon the Elks
Euccumbed before the fierce. scientific
onslaught Of the Y. NJ. c. A, and
were defeated by the score Of 27-6.
In all probability there was never
in the football history of this state
game that was as savagely contested
as this one, for from the first sound
of the whistle until the final call OF
time every inch Of ground was Vlgor-
ously fought for, and at the end OF
the game the members Of both eleVens
We're pretty nearly exhausted.
The first half caused cold shivers TO
chase one another down the backs or
the Y. NJ. c. a. adherents.
The team was absolutely confident OF
victory, and was resolved to duplicate,
if not better, the score Of two weeks
ago. when the colorS OF the ElkS We're
lowered to the tune of 400.
With this object in view they had
supposedly smooth collection of tricks
up their sleeves, which they intended
to spring as q surprise on the natives,
and incidentally score several touch
downs before the game had fairly be-
gun.
Immediately upon gaining possession
of the bail the Christians attempted
their much-hera4ded tricks, several OF
which were so unsuccessful that they
resulted in a loss OF forty yards, and
were II q direct cause Of the Eiks' first
touchdown.
1t was near the close of the first half
that Captain Wilson observed that his
tricks and fakes were of no avail. and
thereupon determined to resort to the
Princeton wheel, which was used with
such telling effect that only once after
it had been brought into play did the
o. +la nd 11-l,f ha
ball on downs, and this was on
mighty close decision.
This play was worked in a superb
manner. Time after time Allen,
Augustus. Wilson and Van Cott by
its assistance were pushed along for
Hig gains. The Elks seemed powerless
20 stop it, and in their vicious en-
deavor four Of their best players were
injured and compelled to leave the
field
1t is reasonably certain that if the
Y NJ c. A had used the wheel from
the very beginning, and left tricks en-
tirely alone, the Elks would never have
crossed the goal line.
During the first half the Elks put UP
all offense that was remarkably ag
gressive.
O'Brien, Demling and Offenbach
found a vulnerable spot at right guard,
and forthwith proceeded to rip UP the
Christians line in splendid fashion.
Their dashes into the line acquired
such a momentum that the runner was
generally shot through for good sub
stantial gains.
The entire Elk eleven fought with
dogged determination, and stuhbornly
battled till the end but they were
unable to cope with the superior
science of the Christians. and had to
surrender to the inevitable
AS has often been stated their eleven
possesses some splendid material. Most
of the players are sandy, willing, and
hard working, but they are lacking in
science.
The men who shone in the Elk team
were Jim O'Brien, Demling, Offenbach
and Sears. Their playing was conspic-
uous and brilliant, both on the offen-
sive and defensive, and they are es-
pecially deserving Of praise.
The bright, shining star on the Y. NJ
c. A team was Wilson.
He was a, tower of strength in him

self. He was the very life of the whole
Neleven. and to his efforts, for a great
part, the result Of the game was due.
Where was not a single play in which
gge was not to be found.
The manner in which he leaped over
psostrate players. when he was run
ning, drew forth rounds of cheers.
Augustus and his side partner. Al
len, were strong, both on defensive and
offensive plays.
Both constantly made runs of ten
yards. 1t fell to the lot Of Augustus to
make the most magnificent run of the
game.
The Y NJ c. A. had scored its first
touchdown, and their opponents had
kicked the ball off to the twenty-yard
line, where it was downed. On the
very next play Augustus was given the
bali. and aided BY superb interference

JOINT TRAFFIc ASSOCIATION.
How the Members Will Get Around
the Decision.

the Decision.
New York. Nov 24-Of the status of
the local traffic association, survivors
of the Joint Traffic association, which
was disbanded on the decision of the
United States supreme court, George
r. Blanchard, formerly the association
commissioner, said last night: Il con-
slider it quite uncertain whether con-
gress will take any action in regard
to the pooling law at the coming ses-
sion. The Joint Traffic association is
now divided into two separate associa-
tions the Central Traffic Freight as
sociation, with Mr.. Tucker, as commits
sioner, and the Central Traffic Passen-
ger association, with Mr.. Donald as
commissioner.
Commissioner James B. Goddard of
the Trunk Line association said that
it has not changed its agreement, as
the association was not affected by the
| supreme court decision.
Chauncey NJ. Depew. president Of the
Joint Traffic association, when asked
what was to become of the individual
members of that board of managers,
most of whom have no other duties
with the roads which they represent,
replied: when the usefulness of the
members of that board ceases in their
present capacity, it will'be time enough
to make plans for their future. 1t is
true that these men have been in
structed to wind up the affairs of the
Joint Traffic association without delay,
| but it may be that the several roads
will find it to their interests to preserve
the committee as a bureau of inforlna-
ton. The convenience and value of
such q central body for intercommuni-
cation and conference has been clearly
demonstrated. The different lines can
settle little disputes and avoid friction
more easily through the medium of
such body than in any other way.
Suppose, for instance, that word
I reaches the ears of President Galloway
that some of the irregularity in rate

the lady named was Mrs. W. B. An

Offenbach left his place and skirted

The ball went to the Y. NJ. C. A on

He Prayed EloQuently, but Gestured
Little Too Forcibly.
Uncle Nose came down from the
country to visit his son, who worked In
the livery stable. Uncle Nose was a
deacon in a little country church and
was noted for his long, fervent prayers,
but when his son Ike took him to the
colored church in the city and when he
heard the organ and gazed upon the
we'll dressed darkies he felt as if the
Lord was long ways off. Uncle Nose
had met the parson the day before, and

said during services, "Well all join in

Nose went down on his knees and threw
his deep voice and soul in a prayer
which shook the rafters. AS he came to

Very often after his release from pris-

of the cemetery at Montmartre, where
his friend lay. And he always carried
flowers. 1t had become to him, since
the terrible strain of his detention, a
necessity, habit. The dead are living.

1t seemed to Dantin that he had but
one aim. Alas, what had been the
wish, the last dream, of the dead man
would never be realized That fortune
which Revere had intended for the
child whom he had no right to call his
own would go, was going to some far
off cousins of whose existence the ex-
consul was not even aware perhaps, and
whom he certainly had never known

LAST NIGHTS STORM.
Much Damage Done BY wind and Rain.
DIstriets Flooded. Houses Blown
From Their Blocks. Ete.

About dark last evening one
of the most terrific storms of
wind and rain which ever vis-
tied our city fell about us. The
clouds during the afternoon
foretold that mature was nurs-
ing her wrath" The ominous
thunder peal in the distance
also gave notice that the ele-
ments we're on unfriendly terms.
Nearer and nearer the black
clouds came, and with but little
prelude the viais of their wrath
was spent upon us.
In a very few minutes Main
street became a roaring river
and from the Cream Bakery to
Hamilton's shoe shop on the
north side of Main street every
house was flooded.
Holes were hastily cut in the
floors of Davenport's grocery
store. Also in the large dry
goods house of Madden, Sykes
& Co. A battle with brooms
was fought at j. B. Walls. =.
j. w. Banks. the City Drug
Store and other houses along
the line trying to keep the surg
ing waters from entering their
houses, but in vain.
The same story of inundation
comes from the Wisnor hotel
and other parts of town.
The greatest damage, how
ever. and what has proved to
0e the most serious, comes from
the south portion of the city.
near Ferndale, where several
residence houses were blown
from their blocks and injuries
by the inmates sustained. the
most serious being that of Mrs.
Mccullough.
Five houses in all we learn
were blown down and more or
less damaged. They are those
of Jack Wheeler, Rev. McCul-
Tough, Boney Austin, r. T..
Dallas and a MusgraYe house.
1t is feared that when daylight
comes more damage will be ap-
parent than is now thought Of,
or can be ascertained in the
darkness. Reports from the
country will be anxiously
awaited, for while we know de-
struction has been wrought to
growing crops the sudden rise
of streams may prove a death
trap to many an unwary trav-
eller.
