George Brooke, the famous fullback of
the University of Pennsylvania, who has

Yale's gridiron eleven is making but

of competent coaches, and the team is no
more advanced than it was a couple Of
weeks ago.
Commencing yesterday, the Cornell
coaches will work hard with the players
at Ithaca and cndeavor in every way to
perfect the men for their great game on
Saturday next against Princeton. This
is undoubtedly the greatest game of
the year for Cornell, as it will give them
chance in breaking into the "Big

MALONEY FINED.
William Michael Byrne Will Not
Take the Case to
Higher Court.


Before Judge Ball in Municipal Court,
Yesterday morning the case of Samuel j.
Maloney, charged with disorderly con-
duct, consumed over two hours.
Maloney is the man who was arrested
early last Friday morning by House
Sergeant Kelleher in the Delaware House
for creating disturbance.
William Michael Byrne appeared in
the interest of the defendant, and Ser
eeant Kelleher, who was the first wit
ness, testified to being called on to
make the arrest by Robert J. McCadden
to the subsequent assault made by
Maloney, and to his knocking him down
in self-defense.
Mr.. McCadden and David Cook gave
corroborative testimony and Cook further
testified to Maloney assaulting him
without provocation.
George Lofland, the clerk, corrobo-
rated this testimony and said that he also
had been assaulted by Maloney.
James O'Neil, night fireman at the
police station, also testified to having
been assaulted by the prisoner, and
Police Captain Chambers, Turnkey Louis
Hammerer and John Crumlish corrobo-
rated all the previous witnesses.
James Fahey, James McGarvey and
Albert w. Cummins, gave testimony, In
favor of the defendant. Fahey declar-
ing that Kelleher had pushed Maloney
in the street and then kicked him..
At the conclusion OF the testimony
Judge Ball fined Maloney $40 and costs
of the case.
Prior to the trial Mr.. Byrne, counsel
for Maloney, approached sergeant Kelle-
her and stated that if the case was not
dismissed it would be taken to higher
court. The sergeant replied to the effect
that the matter was in the hands of the
chief OF police and he (Kelleher) had
nothing whatever, to do with the case in
the direction OF pushing it or having it
dismissed. Kelleher apprised Chief
Dolan of the conversation, but the latter
could see nothing that would warrant
him in asking that the case be dis
missed.
Mr.. Byrne, when seen yesterday after
noon, stated that he had no idea OF test
ing the legality of the Municipal Court
and that the matter would be dropped
for the present, at least, as his client had
paid the fine and costs imposed.
Some of the people who saw the arrest
threatened to prefer charges against
Sergeant Keleher before the Police Com
mission and Chief Dolan brought the
matter to the attention of the commits
sioners last night and requested that full
investigation be made. He believes that
Sergeant Kelleher did his full duty and
wants the commissioners to ascertain the
facts in the case.

defeated JimmyRyan so handily recently
and who fought Jack Daily twice in this

There is some talk of Franey and George
Green coming together.
Dave Sullivan has begun light work as

1t is probable that lacrosse team will

good one.

John Hatfield in 1872, by one yard and

A MINISTER'S VIEWS.
Rev. j. A. Il. Wilson Says Mrs. Botkin
Will Never be Brought TO
Delaware.

Rev. j. A. B. Wilson, at one time of
the Wilmington NJ. E. Conference,
but now stationed at Los Angeles,
Cal., writes to friends in this State rela-
tive to the case OF Mrs. Botkin, as fol-
lows:
"It begins to look as though the
woman charged with the murder Of Mrs.
Dunning and her sister, Mrs. John D.
Deane, will never be taken to Delaware
for trial. This case comes very close to
us, having for lifetime known Mr..
Pennington, and my sons having been
taught in the schools of Dover by Mrs.
Dunning. We deeply sympathize with
the bereaved ones in Delaware. A dread
full illustration is found in two parties
mentioned in like case in Scripture.
And sin, when it is finished, bringeth
forth death" Forbidden pleasures have
shame, degradation or death, or all three
at the other end OF the career. The devil
is always handy to help people away
from the truth, and into sin and trouble,
but he never helps anybody out.
We cannot but hope the peerless court of
Delaware and a Delaware jury may yet
have chance to determine the innocence
or guilt of Mrs. Botkin."

This will, no doubt, be great surprise
