SCHEDULE FOR THE SEASON.
Prepared by Manager Weissenfluh,
of High School.

Manager Edwin Weissenfluh, of the
Scranton High school eleven, yester-
day completed his schedule of games
for the season OF 1900. The first home
contest will be played Saturday after
noon at Athletic park with the strong
Thirteenth Regiment eleven. The
complete schedule follows:
Sept. 20--Keystone Academy, Factoryvillr.
Oct. 6--Thirteenth regiment team, Scranton.

The game with Keystone last Satur-
day resulted in a splendid victory for
the local boys, who won out by score
of q to 0. completely outplaying their
heavier but less skilled opponents.
Saturday afternoon a tightly con-
tested, hard fought game is promised
all lovers of foot ball. The High school
team will be out-weighed by the SOL
dier boys, who average about 100
pounds, but the lack of practice of the
latter eleven is expected to make up
the deficit in weight. Several crack
players are OH the Thirteenth's team,
among whom may be mentioned Ad-
ans. the left end, Stark, formerly full
back for the School of the Lackawan-
ma; Kiple, Gendall and Arch Brown.

EDWARDS WAS HIT
WITH A HORSESHOE
The Weapon Was Welded by Emery
j. Ehrgood, Of Moscow-Edwards'
Condition Is Dangerous.

AS the result of a quarrel which oc-
Cured on Tuesday afternoon, Charles
Edwards, of Moscow. is lying in the
Moses Taylor hospital, with a bad
wound on his head and Emery j. Ehr-
good, also of Moscow, is under $500
bail, charged with violently assault
ing him.
Ehrgood runs grist mill on Main
street, Moscow, and has been an
noyed for some time past by a crowd
of boys and girls, who have persisted
in breaking his windows. He became
so tired of putting in new ones last
week, that he brought action before
Alderman Kasson to recover 80 from
the following: Gilbert Edwards,
Grace Edwards, Charles Edwards, ST.,
Charles Edwards, jr., Byron Dinger.
Howard Dinger, Charles Stanley and
Paul Stanley. All these are children,
except Edwards, sr.
Ehrgood and Edwards got into an
argument about the matter on Tues
day afternoon and the latter invited
the grist mill proprietor to come out
in the field and fight it out, threaten
ing to kill him. I1hrgood became
alarmed and went home by back
way. He entered his house by the
back door and then came through to
the front.
Edwards was passing at the time
and renewed the argument. He start
ed after Ehrgood and the latter re-
treated into the house, closing and fas-
tening the door after him. Edwards
smashed in the door and was just
forcing his way in when Ehrgood

inflicting q deep wound over Edwards
right ear.
Edwards fell unconscious and then,
it is claimed, Ehrgcod kicked him
off the porch. At this stage of the
proceedings Mrs. Edwards and her
son arrived on the scene of action and
seeing her husband getting the worst
of it, rushed at Ehrgood and struck
him with a. stone. The son also
struck him several times in the face,
badly bruising and Iacerating it.
Edwards was picked up and taken
to the Moses Taylor hospital, where
he was said to be resting quietly last
night, though the doctors say there Is
a possibility of conclusion Of the
brain.
Ehrgood was arrested on the charge
of assault and was committed to the
county Jail without bal. by Justice Of
of the Peace NJ. A. Lyman. AS a JUS
tice of the peace cannot refuse to take
bail on a charge of assault, the mat
ter was brought to the attention Of
Judge Kelly yesterday afternoon and
he accepted bail in the sum of 1880,

CABLE BILL THIS SESSION
STRONG PROMISE OF ONE THIS
WINTER.
The Expense of Gable Tolls to The
Philippines and China Strong Argu-
ment for the Scheme.

WASHINGTON, November 15.-The
Pacific cable bill, it is agreed, must be
put through this winter 1t Is costing
the government an enormous amount of
money for cable tolls to the Philippine
Islands and the lack of proper cables
facilities is seriously retarding the de-
velopment of business there. Then
there being no cable to Hawaii, the gov
ernments business with those islands
suffers and private business is sorely
handicapped. The least that can be
done this winter is to provide for the
immediate laying of cable as far as
Hawaii, anyway. This is bound to pro-
yoke a great deal of discussion There
are members of both the Senate and
House who are bound that this cable
shall be constructed and owned by the
United States Government, and there
are members who are bitterly opposed
to this scheme This difference Of OPT
Mon is all that prevented the passage Of
a cable bill at the last session of Con-
gress and if it is not passed during the
coming winter, this fact alone Will
again be responsible.
From what has gone before it is likely
/ ly that compromise upon TINS point OF
government ownership will be reached.
/ Judge Barham of California proposed a
very good compromise last year II
! provides that the Government shall ad-
vertise that it will pay small subsidy
probably 100000 per yeat-to any
company that will construct the cable.
| If no offers to build are received in con-
sequence of the granting of this subsidy
| then the Government is to proceed on
| it's own account to construct and opera
| te the cable line. The promoters of the
several Pacific Gable companies are of
| course looking for as large a subsidy as
may be had from the government, and
this greed on their part is what leads to
the urgent demand for Government ow-
nership. There is no serious objection
from any quarter to granting them a
small subsidy. That would be economy
on the part of the government and
without a subsidy no private corpora
ton could afford to construct the ca
BILE.
