Mauaxrm~ut

The Western University OF Penn
sy.yania foot ball team cancelled the
game with West Virginia University,
which was TO have been played in Pitts
burg to-day. giving notice by wire
Thursday night. The W. V. L. boys are
wrothy. and declare that all relations
between the two clubs are of hence
forth and forevermore. They had ar
ranged for special train from Nor
gantown. aud had INDUCED in the
hardest kind of practice.
The Plttsburg Commercial says Of the
matter:
Regarding the cancellation of To-
morrow's game with West Virginia
University. Manager Wallace. of the W.
L. p. team. said yesterday: On the
Friday before w. u. p. scheduled for
Pittsburg. on October &c. and on leaving
Morgantown after the game | offered
this date to Mr.. Lardin, who made a
verbal eeeptance, Since then | have
written several times to Mr.. Lsrdin con-
corning the contract. and general bus
mess that must be attended 10 in ali
foot ball games played by the univers-
ity. No reply was received till the
Pittsburg accounts of w. L. P.'s game
with Pittsburg college. October 26,
when a sharp communication was re-
celved. but too late for anything to be
done.
The athletic committee was perfect
ly wiling to have the foot ball team
meet the West Nirginians a second time
this year. although it is an unusual
thing for college teams to do. The
whole trouble was from West virginia's
slowness in making final arrangements
for the game"
Manager Wallace is sorry for the po-
sition in which the Morgantown team Is
placed. but is CAD to hear that they
have secured the Lalus A. c. for to-
morrow.

CAN THIS BE TRUEg
The RedoubtabIe Terry IL Said to IL
Going Blind.

The Nedoubtable Terry IL >0td to Ne
Going Blind.
The boxing world was startled by the
announcement that the greatest OF all
fighters. Terry McGovern. was fast 60
ing blind. The information WAS given
out by Frank Hutchinson, who has had
enough experience with fights and
fighters to know what he is talking
about. Such a thing would be sad
blow to pugilism. and it is hoped that
II is not true. Terry McGovern's
stock in trade is his wonderful punch
and his keen eye. He is living ex-
ample of the old saying. "Quick to see
and quick to act" McGovern's quick
eve has served him we'll in all his bat
ties. and the likes of him has never
been seen in the prize ring by the pre-
sent generation. He is the shiftiest
man. big or little, who has performed
In the 24-foot circle in the last decade.
and it is really a treat to see him work.
Outside of his powerful knockout
punch. he is a marvel of speed and
alertness. He is spry as kitten. and
his hands work as fast as those OF any
prestidigItatof who ever showed in
public. che first Herman was not in
II with Terry. The little fighting ma
chine can shift his glove from one spot
to the other about as fast as any hui
man being can well imagine, and On
numerous occasions he has knocked out
men so quickly that not one person in
the audience could truthfully say how
II was done. His wonderful eyesight
has been a great help to him. 1t is a
great help to all boxers. but none have
slsad II to better advantage than the
wonderful Terry McGovern Here is
good evidence that Terry's eagle eye is
not failing him.

County and state Politics.

The election occurs November 9th,
and until the last week II has been one
of the most quiet campaigns In the
history of the State. Last week both
sides opened up. The fight from now
on will be warmly contested and the
election of a Governor is much in
doubt, as Mr.. kilbourne, the Demo
cratic nominee, is gaining ground. 1t
is said one of the Republican candi-
dates on the State ticket is in bad re-
pute on account of gambling debts.
In the county unusual activity is being
shown by the Republicans, but owing
to taxes. which have been growing OF
late, the party is in bad repute. Some
surprises may be expected this fall.

High School team came here cooked
and primed to defeat the local High
School team The home boys were not
at their full advantage, but played an
excellent game and at no time were
the visitors in any danger of scoring;
but at the same time the visitors held
the home boys down so well that they
could not make touchdown. The
game resulted in no score. The yisi-
tors had a line that was hard to break,
and did good work. The home team
made some excellent tackles.

Vandals almost obliterated every

Big Buffalo, few nights ago. During
the absence from home of tho family
some one entered the house and de-
stroyed everything that was in it. The
furniture was chopped to pieces, the
stove and kitchen utensils were broken.
the carpets and bedding were cut into
shreds and forty gallons Of fruit which
Mrs Gully had put UP for winter was
emptied and the Jars broken. What
was the motive in this vandalism is not

the work of an insane man. John
