SPORTING SoUIBS.

The members of the Cornell football
team met Saturday Afternoon, and unani-
mously chose as captain for 1900 Ray
mOnd ID. Starbuck, the sturdy youth who
captained with such great success, this
years eleven, Starbuck is % years old,
and finely built, weighing 172 pounds, and
being five feet eleven inches in height.
1t has not yet been decided who will
coach next years team, but it is prob
able that Percy HauEhton, the ex-Har-
ward player will again be in charge of
the eleven, after his exceedingly success
ful management of this year.
An odd fact connected with last year
base ball is that of the three men lead
ing the first basemen, two We're Pitts
burg players and both former Scranton
players, The three leading initial bag
guardians We're Clark. of Pittsburg;
O'Connor of st. Louis, and Dillon, Of
Pittsburg. Not one of these men had
played all through the season, but new
ertheless all praise Is due them for such
an excellent showing made, for the time
they were in active harness. Clark is
remembered by all as the big fellow who
used TO hammer the curves Of Eastern
league pitchers with a constancy and
force that made him the idol of the local

John Cummings, William Zollner
James Gaughan, Patrick Dalton ana
James Gaughan, the Mayfield burglars,
were sentenced Saturday by Judge Ed
wards to three years and ten months
each in the Eastern penitentiary TINS
is the maximum penalty, less two
months. The fact that the law re-
quires that imprisonment shall be so
fixed that the term will not expire in
the winter is responsible for the two
months subtraction.
Judge Edwards said to the prisoners
in passing sentence that 1t was the
very highest sentence he could impose
under the law. No mention was made
or cognizance taken of the jury's rec
ommendation in the case of Gaughan.
When the prisoners were asked the
formal question as to whether they
had anything to say before sentence
was pronounced, Cummings replied in
a meek way: Nothing except that
we are not guilty"
THEY WERE FORTUNATE.
The Judge said before announcing
the sentence that he was surprised
that the jury staid out so long, as the
proof of guilt was overwhelming. You
are fortunate" he added that
through the zeal of your counsel, as
well as through the law itself, that
you escaped conviction on the first
count of the indictment"
1--WE were convicted on manufac-
tured evidence" said Cummings to a
Tribune reporter after the sentence
Some of those witnesses were GER
tainly good swearers. 1t wasn't what
we did but what we might do that we
are punished for. They certainly
didn't prove that Nayf!eld case against
us" This conversation followed some
mention of the burglars outfit that
was found on them and which Judge
Edwards referred to in his charge.
The four boys, Harry Goodrich,
Joseph Feury. Thomas Smith and John
Wright, convicted of stealing from a
dyeing establishment on West Lack
iwanna avenue. were allowed to go
Jnder a suspension of sentence.
A verdict of guilty was returned in
the case of Joseph Rega, of Carbon
dale, charged with buying stolen brass
from young boys. He did not appear
when called for sentence and a capias
was issued.
RETURNED NOT GUILTY.
Richard Burns and James Brown
were returned not guilty of the charge
of stealing chickens preferred by Louis
Renda, of Old Forge.
Robert Cairns was found guilty of
the lesser count of the Indictment
pressed against him by Bessie Cairns
and was sentenced to pay the costs
and fine of S25.

FLORENCE
Story of Tragedy in Which Hargraves
Simpson Was Killed

Florence, Ala, October 17.-(Special))-
The last chapter of one of the saddest ac-
cidents in the history of this city was en-
acted yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
when the remains of Hargrave Simpson
were deposited in the city cemetery.A tel
egram announced Sunday night that Mr..
Simpson had been accidentally killed at
Ballina, La, but gave no further particu-
lars. The remains arrived over the South
ern Railway at $3.50 o'clock, accompanied
James Simpson, brother of the deceased.
Then it was that the sad feature of the
accident became known. The two brothers
left Florence in July for Concordia parish,
Louisiana, where they were engaged in
farming. For some time past they had
been missing different articles, and deter
mined to set watch for the thief. While
James Simpson was on watch Hargrave en-
tered the house, and was shot by his bro
Their, who thought him burglar The shot
was fatal and ever since the terrible trag
edy James Simpson has been crazed with
grief.
The deceased was born in Florence thir-
ty-three years ago, and was a son of James
Simpson, one of the oldest and most re-
spected citizens of this place, who is at
present secretary and librarian of the Y.
M. c. A. The deceased young man was one
of six sons, all of whom have ever been
well liked by all the people of florence.
The horrible nature of the accident which
resulted in the death of Hargrave Simpson
has caused the sympathy of the entire
town to be extended to the bereaved fami-
ly. The father, sister, five brothers and
a large number of relatives and friends at
tended the funeral services, conducted by
Rev w. 7. Andrews, of the Methodist
church.

tenant Meunder, who escaped massacre with
the party of Lieutenant Colonel Klobb, by
members of the French expedition under

recovering from his wounds.
Lieutenant Meunier was rescued by Lieu
