The Columns at Karnak.

Prof A. H. Snyce In The London Times.
1 have just received a detailed account of
the fall of the columns in the great hall of
Karnak about which a telegram has been
published in the Times. The catastrophe
occurred at 0 am. on October 8, and is sup
posed to have been due to slight shock of
earthquake. Eleven columns in an have
fallen in the fourth and fifth rows north
of the axis of the temple and between this
and the wall of Seti 1. They are thus in
a line with the leaning column, which was
restored last winter by NJ. Legrain. They
all fell in a straight line from east to west,
the result being that the westernmost is
still partly propped up against the pylon
of the temple. The ruin is terrible, and II
the hypostyle Is TO be saved 1t must be done
at once, before further mischief takes place.
The columns can be set up again, but the
architraves above them are utterly broken
and destroyed.
NJ. Legrain, who has been engaged for
the last three years in repairing and
strengthening the ruins of Karnak, started
for Upper Egypt Immediately on hearing
of the disaster. He found that the col
umns he had already repaired were unin-
jured by the fall of their companions; even
the famous leaning column" which he
spent last winter in re-erecting, though ter

Irwin Working in the Interests of
the Association.
RIVALRY OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE
Progress of the Schaefer-SIosson
Match.
GU BRENT SPORTING NOTES

A special from Boston says that it looks
as If Boston is in the new base ball associa-
ton. A call on several base ball people
found the feeling unanimous in favor of a
Boston team in the association. Arthur
Irwin spoke enthusiastically of the chances
for a second club in Boston.
When you think, said Irwin. that the
Players League took in more than $S6.000
gate money at the home grounds in 1890
with conflicting games at the South End
grounds. you can see the chances which a
good base ball club has here of making
money. Cities like Chicago Philadelphia,
New YORK and Boston should all have two
clubs. so that games could be seen every
day; when the rivalry. with spring and fall
games. would nearly pay salaries. The pub
lie wants good. live sport, and the only
way to get 1t is to have a bitter rivalry,
just as two clubs would surely create. If
Charles River Park could be secured it
would take but few thousand dollars to
give Boston one of the finest ball parks in
the country, that would be as handy as the
South End to the center of the city"
Thomas F. Mccarthy, the famous old
Boston player, now in business in Boston.
Is enthusiastic. He said: Il shall be in
New York next Saturday, and hope to see
the new association a go. l was a member
of the st. Louis club when it won the asso-
citation championship, and l never saw any
better ball than the teams of that organiza-
.'h p"' w ioi =" coito auhiSSioH 1 KNOW
there is fine opening in Boston, and l will
do my best to help the new move"
Director w. H. Conant of the Boston club
is not worried Said he: They haven't the
money to start with
When reminded that there might be few
millionaires under cover. Mr.. Conant ad-
mitted that one couldn't always tell Il
think said he, that the twelve-club
league will go through to the finish for the
Boston club will never give up one cent to
buy out the weak clubs"
Messrs Conant and Soden were at a loss
to know what President Dreyfus of the
Louisville club meant by making an offer
for the Pittsburg club, if he did make the

riby battered by the huge stones which
fell against 1t, successfully resisted the
shock 1t Is very unfortunate that the
funds at M. Legrain's disposal have not
been sufficient to allow him to do more
than strengthen and restore the columns
whose condition seemed the most critical;
those that have fallen did not appear to
be in immediate danger, and consequently
work upon them was deferred to another
year. What has happened has shown that
the whole building is in such a critical state
that any delay is dangerous. and It is
therefore to be hoped that the Egyptian
creasing its grant for the restoration of
the temple, and so enable the work of
restoration to be carried out before a fresh
disaster occurs

sCHAEFER OUTPLAYED sLossoN.
But the alter StiIl Leads in the Bill
lizard Match.

The second nights play in the profess
sional cushion carom billiard match be-
| tween Slosson and Schaefer last night in
| New York was close struggle. Schaefer
| outplayed Slosson by just 10 points, but
SlOssOn maintained his lead to the end
The final score at the end of the evening
stood 600 to 49,, lead of 105 in Slossons
! favor. The final block of 800 points will
| be played this evening. The match and
$1,000 stakes will go to the player whose
! total reaches 900 first. Schaefer's splendid
brace at one point gives his admirers
| ground for hoping that he may yet win out.
SlossOn began with lead of 10 points,
and he steadily increased this until he held
an advantage of 160 caromS after 100 in
nngs had been played Soon after this,
however, Schaefer began slowly to pull up
on his adversary. In seven innings he gata-
cred in 96 points, including one run OF %.
the highest of the evening, and for the first
time in the evening the Wizard" seemed
to be in the hunt again his total being only
IT, caroms behind then.
In his l14th il ming Schafer made the star
play. He got the balls well gathered in one
corner OF the table and rapidly clicked off
the most delicate kind of caromS with Won
derful precision With l20 to his credit, he
had to drive the red ball across the end of
the table and back. while a little later the
worries got into difficult position again.
and the 'Wizard'' had to drive one up to
the far corner but it rolled back within
reach and the crowd applauded. Again
ociltitlef began 10 Click OH the CarOmS. and
it was not until he had made up 80 points
that he missed easy shot.
For the first time in the evening the
Wizard" got to within 100 points of his
antagonist, when he made run of 20 in his
12Ith inning. Later he was only TO behind
but student" Slosson finished strong and

The betting at Newport, KY, more
brisk yesterday and the ten books in line
handled big money in every race The rae
Ing was exciting, with several nose finishes.
Nearly every horseman on the track was
yelling when Kriss Kringle won the mile
and-a-sixteenth handicap. Kriss Kringle Is
confirmed sulker, but he can run like a
deer when there Is noise to scare him. He
was nearly scared to death yesterday, as
all the horsemen were betting on him, and
when kriss sKringle appeared to be stop
ping in the stretch they let out a mighty
howl, and the old gelding gave evidence of
his weakness by wild burst of speed and
the money was saved Kriss Kringle was
first by three lengths. This incident caused
great amusement and was the talk of the
day. The weather was clear and the track
fast. Il

 Chicago. September 13-Wheat: Liver pool closed F lower; Paris, 15 cents lower; Berlin, h lower; Antwerp, unchanged. Good rains are reported over three best portions of India. Australian prospects much improved. Weather conditions re- main reasonable. Frosts reported in North Minnesota and Wisconsin. Fair. cool weather, indicated Clearances about 800 0OO. We confirm ten loads for export The mar ket opened down but under the lead of Sep- tember. which advanced K cents. All the futures moved up sharp and the close was a strong one The advance in September to 72A was due to a fight between local elevator people. The leading concern is supposed to be largely short while two other interests are arrayed on the other side. and taking all the wheat they can possibly lay their hands on. This caused quite a furry amongst the shorts although foreign and statistical news was bearish. The advance for this month will no doubt lead up to a large movement to this mar ket. and the fact that prominent elevator interests are climbing for the cash article will tend to bring speculative investment buying on the deferred futures The mar ket action during the next forty-eight hours will be watched closely, and. should the present strength be maintained, increased activity and broader market may be looked for. especially in the December fu- lure. which can now be bought at dis count.
 Corn: There has been good buying ana the closing was strong one, with indi- cations of working higher. Fifteen loads for export.
 Oats were firm and moved up in sympa- thy with corn. There was some covering by shorts.
 Provisions: Hogs were steady shipments of lard 1346,Oe0 pounds; meats, 2.695.000. There has been a good cash demand for meats. while the English houses were buy ing lard for export. We think there is good money in purchases of January.
