must be deducted the children of Catho-

does not attend Protestant Sunday
school they should be counted among
those who do not attend any.
Compared with the similar canvass of

outset. The ball was kept continuous

down before the superior Drawn and

pany the team.
The only casualties of the game were
those sustained by Sullivan, B., and

YOUNG's SHORTAGE UNKNOWN.
Friends of Louisville Treasurer
Would Have Helped Him Out.


Louisville, KY, Nov 2s.-Beyond the
statement made last night to Mayor
Granger by one of the expert account
ants that discrepancies amounting to
$23, 900 had been found in the books of
the former city treasurer, Stuart r.
Young, who committed suicide last
evening, nothing definite is known as
to how the accounts stand between the
city and its former treasurer. When
asked for an authoritative statement
tonight one of the accountants said
that beyond the amount mentioned last
night he had absolutely no idea as to
what the alleged shortage is. He ad-
ded that the accountants would require
two weeks to go over the books of the
treasurers Office. During his four
years term as city treasurer, Mr.. Young
handled $11,00O,0O0.
II became known to-day that sew
eral of Youngs friends, having heard
reports about the condition of the for
mer city treasurer's accounts before
newspaper publication was made of
them, had arranged a tentative plan
to secure any aid for him that might
be needed. Their plan was frustrated
merely by the fact that yesterday aft

WALCoTT GOT THE DECISION.
Young Peter jackson No Match for
Him, but Insisted on Finishing
Fight.

Baltimore. Nov. 2S.-"Joe" Walcott
got the decision over Young Peter"
Jackson before the Eureka Athletic
Club here tonight, after twenty
rounds of perhaps the fiercest lighting
ever seen in this city, most of which
was done by Walcott, Jackson being on
the defensive from start to fini,sil.
Walcott sailed in from the very first
with the evident intention of finishing
his man as soon as possible, and be-
tween laughs and jokes with the spec
tators at the ringside, simply rained
blow after blow upon the Californian.
The Californian, however, took his
gruelling with remarkable fortitude
until the fifteenth round, when Joe
sailed in, and after punching him all
over the ring, unintentionally tripped
him, so that Peter landed on his back
near the ropes. The chief OF police
then interfered and ordered the stop
ped, to which decision Peter protested
so vigorously that the chief relented
and permitted the pounding to con-
tinue. Five more rounds of the same
kind of work ensued, Walcott doing all
the leading and hitting, whNe Jackson,
with the exception OF a few feeble re-
turns, did nothing but defend himself
and try to keep on his feet.

BODIES CRUMBLED TO DUST,
Newspaper Men Account for smalf
Number of KNOWN Dead.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 26.-The official
list of the dead given to local papers,
shows the names of but ten dead and
forty eight injured, but Detroit news
paper men, who were at the scene of
the wreck and talked with survivors
of both trains, said that the official
list does not bear out the statement
of the passengers, nor evidence of the
horrible loss of life which they wit
messed at the spot where the accident
occurred.
The Free Press tomorrow will say
that the loss of life was in round num-
bers 100, and that the statements made
by italian immigrants in train No. 13,
bear out this claim. These immigrants
say that there were about 125 of their
nationality on the train. and that only
about 25 of them escaped. While there
are only ten of them known to be dead.
it is asserted that the other ninety
were completely incinerated, and that
with the removal of the wreckage the
bodies crumbled to dust, which was
scattered by the wind which swept
over the country. If the names of
these dead are ever known it will be
when friends make inquiry for them,
and in many instances this seems high
ly improbable.

BEAUMONT HAS CLOSE CALL.
The oil Soaked Fields Nearly Bring
1t to Destruction.

Beaumont, Tex, Nov. 2S.-The most
dangerous fire since the discovery of
the oil fields here occurred late yester-
day, and for a time it was thought the
field was doomed to destruction. Plumb
ers working on pipes built a small fire
several hundred feet northeast of the
Exporters Land and Pipe Company's
mill on the northeast side of the field,
for the purpose OF making connections.
The fire spread in the oil-soaked grass.
and soon got beyond control, threaten
ing the great forest of derricks of the
Hogg- -Swayne syndicate. Every fire on
the field was extinguished in the boil
ers and every rig was shut down and
the population of the field turned out
to the fight the flames. Fortunately,
and almost miraculously, the men sue
ceeded in staying the flames within
twenty feet of the nearest derrick, and
finally extinguished them.

THE ATLANTA GAME A TIE.
Georgia Holds Down the AIabama q
PoIytechnics.

Atlanta, Nov. 2S.-The annual
Thanksgiving game of football between
the elevens of the University Of Geor-
gia and the Alabama Polytechnic In
stitute (Auburn) was played here this
afternoon and resulted in a tie, neith-
er side being able to score. The game
was hard fought in every detail and
clear of dirty or ragged playing.
Georgia played straight football, de-
pending principally upon her tackle
back formation. The teams were even~
ly matched, the Alabama boys possibly
having an advantage in their weight,
but were forced to resort most entirely
to trick and fake plays. The game was
at times sensational Georgia at one
time within two yards of Auburn's
goal. losing the ball on downs. Both
teams played fast ball, but Auburn was
weak in holding the skin and made
costly fumbles. Penalty after penalty
was imposed on both teams for off-side
plays-Auburn losing what might have
been an easy touchdown by repeated
work of this character.
over 5000 people witnessed the game.
Most of Georgia's gains were netted by
the star playing of Dickinson, left half
back, and the head work of Right
Tackle Smith. For Auburn. Parks,
left end; Sloan. left half-back. and
Jerry Gwyn, right tackle, played the
game.
Surprised Their Friends.
Georgia played far bet
ter game than even her friends
expected. The coaching was of a high
order and every point was watched.
Not Georgia man was hurt, but one
of the Auburn team, McAdory, right
end, was temporarily disabled and had
to be removed from the field.
Georgia once or twice had the ball
on Auburn's 5-yard line. The mass
playing and formations of both sides
were good.
Auburn introduced some new forma-
tons and plays which had never been
seen before here. Auburn's men aver
aged pounds heavier than Georgia.

Policy.

City of Mexico, Nov. 2S.-Martin
Garcia Meron. one of the Argentine
delegates to the Pan-American confer
ence, spoke at the banquet last night
rendered by the United States dele
gates in honor Of their Spanish -Anneri-'
can colleagues. He said in part:
Il have had the pleasure of living in
the United States and nobody has a
greater admiration than /. nor a bet
ter feeling and more grateful regard
for the manly virtues of the American
nation: for the sense of justice of the
American statesman, for the high
ideals of the American people, or for
the sincerity of its friendship towards
its sister nations of Central and South
America. The noble words Of that
great American diplomat, Mr.. Hay,
have reached us, conveying to all the
Latin-American countries to-day rep
resented in Mexico, assurances of the
interest the government and the ,peo-
pie of the United States take in our
prosperity and welfare, and the abso-
lutte unselfishness of it's policy in re-
gard to us, and we all know that those
sentiments are real: that those decla-
rations are sincere as they come from
the government, and the men who have
always stood by their pledges and who
might have taken as a motto the words
of Shakespeare: Be all the ends thou
aimst at, thy country's, thy Gods and
truths"

Al,,an, on reappearing at Buena Vista
Wednesday afternoon, opened fire on
the Liberal forces under Col. Barrera+
The latter were not entrenched, but
having the choice of ground, occupied
the TOD of a small hill at Buena Vista.
The fighting, which was of the most
savage nature, lasted until 5:3O p. M.
without stopping, when the government
forces. owing to the great loss they
had sustained, were compelled to give
way and retreat toward Frijolos. Over
100 men were killed or wounded, the
bodies lying all along the railroad.
A train reaching Buena Vista was
unable to pass, owing to pile OF
corpses blocking its passage. About
twenty wounded men were taken to
Panama on the evening train.
The Liberal loss was again insignia
can't. It is said to be less than a dozen
men.
The Liberals at Colon are once more
tubilant, owing to the fact that Gen.
Adams forward march has been stop
ped. coupled with reasonable hopes
that Gen. Domingo Diaz, with the re-
Inducements of Liberals from Chorrera
will soon arrive on the scene of action
and attack Gen. Alban in the rear.
This has changed the aspect of affairs
at Panama. Reinforcements of gov
ernment troops in small patches have
been joining Gen. Alban continually.
The leading merchants of Colon call
cd on United States and British con-
suls Tuesday to ascertain what steps
were to be taken to protect the town
from possible violence should the state
Of affairs become more serious. They
were assured that marines from the
warships would, in case of necessity,
be landed to protect life and property.

Secretary Root In wintry weather.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Thanksgiving
Day passed very quietly at the White

slight fall of snow on the ground, the

in closely buttoned box coat and
wholly unattended, he walked across
Lafayette Square and Connecticut av-
