Foot Ball SqulbS,

For the second time this year Mari
eta meets Muskingum and repeti-
tion of October sixth's victory is con-
fidently expected by friends of the
home team. Several subs will be play
ed in the place of some of the regular
men, but this should in no wise min
imize the score which Marietta ought
to roll up against the Musklngum
players If that drive and swing
which is found in every well balanced
team only manifests itself in the game
today, the score will be much larger
than that of last Saturday The pres
ent team has undoubtedly as brilliant
players as formed last years eleven,
but for some reason there is not
enough unanimity of action. The men
will develop this spirit by the time
the big Oberlin game comes off If they
expect to win and make any kind of a
record at all this year.

udy, do tuc SIidiH "niSu lc lcSCiNcu

NIT any eXertion on his part He has
been coming out and taking the prac-
tice with the team this week, but as
the game today will not be hard, he
will not take his position as full back,
but will rest up for the Oberln game.
Cole will play at full, while Asa Ward
will take the formers position at left
end. The same arrangement will
probably be maintained as were in
force last Saturday, Ward alternating
between right end on offensive and
quarter on defensive
The team will go up on the 6:9O

the evening so that a full account of
the game can be given in Sundays

In his New York Letter in the Phil
adelphia Press yesterday, Holland
says:
"Thc other day it was reported IN
this correspondence that by the pay
mcnt of an almost nominal sum new
ly organized railroad corporation had
secured the right to build track over
the abandoned bed Of the Delaware and
Hudson Canal. The track will extend
from the heart of the anthracite coal
region to tidewatcr on the Hudson.

portant of the coal-Carrying railways,

might have bought from the Della
ware and Hudson this abandoned canal
for less money than they have been
compelled since to pay to their counsel
in fighting the new railway.
1T was said in the earlier report
that behind this new railway was the
Pennsylvania Coal company, which
controls vast anthracite coal mines,
and by means of this new road will
be able to ship its coal to tidewater
and to consumers for very much less
than they have heretofore been COM
PEELED to pay. In fact, it is said that
coal shippers over the old roads have
been compelled to pay for transporta-
ton about 40 per cent. of the price
charged for coal, that is, of the price
of coal at tidewater, 40 per cent. rep
resents charges for transportation. II
is understood that when the new road
is built this charge will he reduced by
it about one-half What that means
for the vast anthracite coal market
needs no detailed explanation.
Now, il is understood that in their
desperation over this threatened SER
ious competition the Erie and the on
tario and Western are trying to find
out whether it will not be possible to
buy controlling interest in the Penn
sylvania Coal company. This purpose
is interesting and almost amusing.

way, obtained money, which he di-

generosity sent fifty Mexican dollars

Gilmore made the condition that Il
should be considered a loan, to which

thing they sadly needed, for they were

After his rescue Gilmore learned that

capped from the Filipinos, was in the
city of Manila, and he offered him
fifty silver dollars as repayment of the
loan. The general was quite indig-
nant and refused TO accept ii. When
Gilmore reminded him Of the agree

consented to it only because he feared
the Americans would not accept the
money otherwise. Gilmore told the
story among the other naval officers at

was expended in the purchase of the

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The two senior class meetings which
have been held lately have proved a
source of great interest, owing to the
fact that the names of those who Sc
cure the school honors and those Of
the graduating class were made
known. Carl ZeidleT of the Latin
scientific class, who took the valedic-
torian honor, did so only by faithful
work and earnest study, but those
who made lower marks and vet did
their best are honored just as much
in the minds of the teachers and their
classmates. as those of higher mental
capacity. Wayland Gates, who is Of
the classical division, carried of the
honors OF salutatory. The second hon.
ors i'm the classical division were at
tanned by Norwood Pitcher, while the
second honors of the Latin scientific
class had TO be divided between Miss
Mabel Sloat and Miss Anna Russ.

English division and Miss Isabelle

Queer Kind of a Road.

According to DR.. w. w. Smith. of
Wilhston, S. c., the first railroad in
The United States was the South Caro-
lima railroad, afterwards called the
Charleston and Augusta railroad. run
ming from Charleston to Augusta, n
distance of 140 miles. The road was
begun in 1926 and completed in 1888.
Some of the queer things which dis
tinguished it from the roads Of today
were:
The first motive power used on this
road was wind utilized in sails made
of cloth on the cars.
1.-The locomotives had two smoke
stacks, one at each end. In going To
Charleston one of the stacks were used
and 10 coming back the other.
There were no spark arresters, and
everybody along the route had TO
WATCH their property to prevent its
being burned up.
One hundred miles a day was good
travelling in those davs.

camp and waited for daylight TO come

When separated in the breaker, from

from a large pump just outside the

Lackawanna's various municipalities
can now step up and get what is COM
ing to them from the liquor licenses,
the work of figuring out the apportion-
ment having been completed yester-
day by County Treasurer NJ. ]. Kelly.
OF the 6l2 licenses granted 562 were
taken out. and these netted slSS,500,
the largest amount yet realized. Last
year the returns were sIS3,QO0, and the
year previous. slSS.SO9.9l. The falling
off in 1899 was due to the fact that
the city licenses were fewer than
usual
A city license costs $3.50; borough Ii
cense. $3.50, and township license, $75.
The state reserves to itself $50 of each
city license, the same amount from
borough license and s25 of a township
license. Before substracting this.

aside 20 per cent. for itself, less the
