Philadelphia, May 1S,-The second dual track and field contest between the l University of Pennsylvania and the University of California, postponed from May 19, took place to-day on Franklin Field and was won by Penn sylvania by score of 76 points to 20 Californias noteworthy performance was the hammer throwing by A. Flaw In this contest the big westerner beat the intercollegiate record by casting the hammer tG5 feet and one-half inch. He hold the inter- collegiate record of l54 feet AZ inches, made at the inter- collegiate games last week.
 In practice, just before the contest, Plaw threw the hammer ITO feet 6 inches, beating the worlds record of 167 feet inches held by John Flanagan of the N. Y. A. c. A. c. Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania was unable to compete, having exhausted himself in the inter- collegiate games at New York on Satur- day J. c. McCraken was also prevent ed from participating in the hammer
  ed side, sustained while throwing the hammer in Saturdays games. He took part in the shot put, however, winning over Plaw and Roy Woolsey, Califor nia's only entries.
 Pennsylvania won the pole vault and running broad jump by default. John Hoffman was the only man entered by California in the former event. He complained of an injured knee and de- clined to compete.
 c. R. Broughton and Roy Woolsey were entered in the running broad jump, but decided not to participate.
 The track events were closely contest l ed, Pennsylvania winning every race. This accounts for Pennsylvania $ large score, as first counted five points and second three points.

 large delegation of prominent busi- ness men of Bridgeport will be here to explain the ways and means of carry ing on the work.

THOUGHT HE FELL FROM I TRAIN
A Man Found Under the Lamberton
 Street Rrtdgc.

About 11:30 last night persons in the vicinity of the Lamberton street bridge heard some one calling from under the bridge as though in pain. Those who heard the calls thought that someone had been struck by train and notified Patrolmen Streit and Kober. The off, cers made an investigation and found a middle-aged man lying on the tracks under the bridge. He told them that he had fallen from a train and that he was badly hurt. The police ambulance was called and Streit and Kober intended to send him to the New Haven hospital He said, however, that he lived at the corner of Putnam and Liberty streets and asked to be taken home. His re- quest was granted and he was taken home in the ambulance. He said that his name was Andrew s. Dickinson He did not seem to be seriously injured, The police think that he fell into the cut from the bridge instead of falling from a train.

The plates will be developed in Cambridge observatory Visually, with five-inch telescope, the corona resembled that of the 'S9 eclipse Two large solar protuberances were noted. Our polar filaments, siv seconds in diameter, traced the corona about one degreez. The shadow of the moon on the sky and the shado wbands were well seen. Venus and Mercury were conspicuous. The inner corona was wis ible in the telescope several seconds af- ter the totality was over.

Voted Down by an Overwhei m in g
 Majorsty-No Action on the Amuse-
 memt Question.
 Chicago, May 2S.--Criticism of Presi- dent Mckinley for his attitude in re- gard to Attorney General Griggs' inter- pretation of the anti-canteen law was overwhelmingly voted down by the Methodist General conference to-day after two hours of warm debate.
 The matter was brought up by the presentation of the report of the conn mittee on temperance, of which sam uel Dickie of Michigan, candidate for president on the prohibition ticket in 1892, is chairman. The majority report arraigned the chief magistrate severe ly.. The conference finally adopted the minority report, which excludes the paragraphs referring to the chief mag istrate, but which, however, called up on him to use his influence to secure the passage of the new anti-canteen law now pending before congress.
 The amusement question was also dis posed of to-day but in rather an un- expected way. By majority of only three votes the minority report, accept ed Saturday, was laid on the table, but any attempt to take up the majority report was frustrated by Bishop F1tz- gerald ruling that it was not before the conference, and it is not believed that any further attempt will be made to take the matter up Thus the confer- ence in effect has taken no action in re- gard to the ban placed upon certain forms of amusement.
 With three business sessions to-day the quadrennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, which for a month past has been sitting here con- sidering great questions affecting the welfare of that denomination, practi- cally came to a close. The actual ad- journment does not take place until to- morrow, but to-morrow's session is eX- pected to be but little more than for mality and many of the delegates left for their homes tonight.
