SCARED BY INDIAN YELL.
The Practical Joke That Was Played
 Surveyors by Band of Comanches.

A crowd of United States surveyors and allotting agents were recently working in the reservation of the Comanche Indians, surveying, establish ing corner stones and getting every thing ready to divide the land in quar- ter sections, says the San Francisco Ar gonaut. The Indians did not take very kindly to the division and allotment of their land, and, seeing that the whites were scared, they decided to act. The surveyors were all tenderfeet from Washington. Suddenly, without warn ing, their camp was invaded by yell ing, shooting band of 500 Indians in war paint and feathers. The surveying party could not stand the pressure and started out for the settlements along the Texas line and kept up their flight, pursued by the Indians, until they crossed the state line. Then they tele- graphed to Fort Sill and the command CT there sent out a large cavalry force to protect the surveyors. The general supposition is that lot of cowboys and young bucks played practical joke,

MARRIED FOR LOVE.
Duke of Manchester Says That's Why
 He Welded American Heiress.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-The social sensa- tion of the hour is the secret marriage of the Duke of Manchester to Miss Hele- na Zimmerman of Cincinnati.
 According to The Daily Mail the mar riage was the outcome of a long and TO- mantle attachment, but it was only last July, to use the words of the duke him self, that they discovered they had been ill love with each other all the time.
 Then the duke" says The Daily Mail, ''Sceing that many suitors were pressing their attentions upon Miss Zimmerman, claimed her for himself. The engage mcnt was announced, but was denied by the relatives. Not being in position to marry they decided to await awhile. \ fortnight ago MT. Zimmerman was eX- pected to arrive in London, and they had decided to see him and to get his con sent. He did not come, and therefore they agreed to marry without delay. They will sail for New York next Satur- day.
 The duke wishes it to be known that he married for love. He has not asked and does not hope for Il dowry with the lady. The couple will settle at Tan deragee'

NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.
New Haven here tomorrow night.

 The report from Meriden that Frank Warner will soon wear Meriden uni form seems to bring out the true state of affairs as regards this player. War ner evidently did not want to play in Waterbury, and no doubt if the deal goes through for him to play with Mer- den he will have a man right off to take that job in his store.
 '. By the defeat of Springfield last night, Waterbury demonstrated that she is not so far, behind the three teams which have constituted themselves the pennant winners. Waterbury has beaten Hartford and Springfield and now it is New Haven's turn. and she may get the same medicine tomorrow night when she pays us visit.
 The rink should be packed from door to door tomorrow night, when New Haven comes here. It will be the first time that many of the fans have had chance to see Johnny Griffin work, and they will be given an opportunity tomorrow night. New Haven will be pushed from first to last and there is no two to one shot on the result.
 Bartlett. with his long experience. is the best halfback in the league. His directing of plays and judgment in get ting in front of the ball saved Clinton many a setback. With Brockton Clin- ton shares the honor of having great defense. and. according to exchanges, a majority of the teams in the league are favored the same way. Mullen is in the mystic circle, as the averages show.-Brockton Times.
 Since it's last appearance here the Waterbury team has been greatly strengthened by the addition of John Griffin, who played with the team two years ago and was released by Man. ager Cotter last week. "Griff'' is q clean player and a credit to any club he belongs to-. He is n hard worker and the home club will not have any snap in to-night's contest, for he |. has proven himself invaluable to the club thus early. The Waterburys have done some excellent work since their first visit here and are sure to put up a hot article of polo.--Springfe News. And We did.

uox Pam Zimmerman Feels.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 20.-Eugene Zim- merman, vice president of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railway and a di- rector in several other lines, was very much surprised on reading the press ca blegrams announcing that he was the father-in-law of the Duke of Manchester. He stated that the press reports were all the information that he had regarding the matter and that he did not desire to talk about the marriage until he was fur ther advised. He insisted, however, that there had been false reports about the Duke of Mareahester, that the duke had never been engaged to any actresses, that he is not a spendthrift' and has not been as notorious as reports would make him. Mir Zimmerman said the fortune was dissiRated before the present duke as sumed his heritaae.i Mr. Zimmerman stated that he had received word that his daughter was on her way to Ameri- ca aud that he would go to New York to await her arrival. He had only the kindest words to say of his daughter and of whatever she may have done.

"DOPE" MEETING A FARCE.
Handful of Unknown Sports in Lon
 don Discuss Physicing of Horses.

 London, Nov 20. - The much-adyer- tised meeting called for yesterday to consider the doping or physicing of horses resulted in farce. A handful of unknown sports" a few Americans and a number of veterinary surgeons composed the audience. Several of the speakers said they believed the American jockeys used electrical ap- pliances, but no evidence to that ef- feet was produced. The meeting final ly resolved into q discussion between American and English trainers. where upon the chairman remarked that the subject of the meeting was lost sight of and invited all present who knew anything about doping to hold up their hands. There was no response and the meeting ended.
 The Standard, in an editorial refer ence to the meeting, says:
 Ut is pleasant to find that the wild stories about American jockeys cannot be substantiated. NIr Atkinson. who organized the meeting. had absolutely no case and got himself and others in to a decidedly ridiculous position. Not the slightest color was given to the suspiciOn.'
 The Daily Telegraph refers to the meeting as "a barren and ridiculous gathering."

ONE YACHT FOR IIPTON.

Shamrock IT.. the challenger for the Americas cup, will be built by the Henderson Brothers at MeadoWside, on the Clyde. David Barrie. who is Sir Thomas Lipton's representative in this country, was'positive in his state ment yesterday to this effect. Mr Barrie said: ''I am amused at the cablegrams stating that the new boat is to be built by Denny x Co. I stat ed over a week ago that she will be built by the Hendersons, and l repeat the statement. The contract for the building of Shamrock IT. has already been signed with the Hendersons. They built the Valkyries and other challen- gers They always have been Wat sons favorite builders. The story that Sir Thomas Lipton is having two boats built. one at Hendersons' and one at Denny's. is sheer nonsense." The con- tract calls for the handing over of the completed yacht March 30 next. and the only other stipulation binding Messrs D.. and ". Henderson is to build the yacht in accordance with MT Watson's designs. s

Powers md Howard Skip.

MIDDLESBORO, Ky, Nov. 20.-1t is reported that John Powers and Berry Howard, under indictment for the as sassination of William GOebel, have left the mountains, where they sought refuge from arrest. Powers was at Harlan and Howard in the mountains of Bell county, both places being 20 miles from any rail road. The men are said to have left two days ago, accompanied by several noun taineers, and to have struck through the mountains for West Virginia. The story is generally believed here, as Powers and Howard feared troops would be sent after them, but inquiry of men returning on the evening train from Pineville which is the nearest point to the home of Howard, failed to confirm it.

 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2O.-Samuel w. Packard of Chicago, counsel for Dr. J. Alexander Dowie of Zionist fame, has deposited $8,000 with the Interna- tional Navigation company and thereby secured the release of the lacemakers who arrived here from England last week and who were ordered deported by the immigration commissioner from this port on the ground that they were violat- ing the alien contract law. The release of the lacemakers, who, with their wives and children, number 25 persons, is on ly a temporary one, as their case is now before Secretdry of the ,Treasury, Gage at Washington on appeal The liaeemak CTS were brought here by MT. Dowie for the purpose of establishing 4ace- making plant at Zion, the town founded by him in Illinois. After they were or dered deported the case was reopened and the commissioner again decided against them. Then the matter was carried to Washington, and decision is looked for the latter part of this week.
 Samuel Stevenson, the manufacturer who sold out his lace factory at Noting ham, England, to Dr. Dowie, arrived in Philadelphia yesterday. He says that the installment of eight lace machines which have just arrived in New York are only the precursor of about 100 more that are to follow them. Manufacturers in England, he said, are now engaged in constructing the machines.
