Big Game.
Newark College Played Against Min
quadale Team Yesterday. Hard
Tussel Expected.

Delaware College had their last hard
work yesterday. The management wishes
TO thank the Minquadale team for the
good practice game it gave the Varsity.
All the men were III their positions but
It took them several minutes to get
warmed up. Captain Huxly played quar-
ter for the first five minutes and while
he was running the signals the team
gained ground constantly but when he re-
tiled Wilson, who took his place ran the
signals slowly and fumbled badly. The
defence OF the team was fairly good and
showed the men just what they most
need. Neither side scored but had Del
aware tried her hardest she could have
won by several touchdowns.
However, the game was entirely for
practice and the men We're not pushed to
their limit for fear of serious injuries.
All the men were worked and as the
play lasted only is minutes the men did
not have time to get warmed up but
whenever they played fast ball they ran
Minquadale off their feet. The Minqua-
dale team played a fairly good game but
were very slow Tomorrow's work will
consist entirely of signals. All the men
are in good condition and ready to play
The best game of the season. While con-
hdent of victory the boys know full well
that the .wearcrs of the blue and white
will give them one of the hardest tus-
sells of the year.

md one well worth seeing. Much inter
est is being shown in the game and the
advance sale OF tickets is very large

who said the man had been stopping at
the hotel but had left and he did not
know where he had gone. A short time
after this Captain Kane saw party who
had seen u man answering the descrip-
ton Of Hayden board a Darby car one
day recently.
Upon learning this Captain Kane did
some fast thinking. Then he began to
draw Sherlock Holmes deductions and
this is the way he figured out the situ-
alton. This man is stopping at some
private place. But no, there is the
Practical Farmer on the Philadelphia
turnpike, place kept by William II.
Fallahee. an old horseman, and well
kept, and that is just the place a man
like Hayden would be likely to go to.
He could talk horse there, be practically
ont OF the way and his presence there
would not attract suspicion to him.
Thereupon after drawing these de-
ductions Captain Kane hied himself with
all speed to the Practical Farmer. He
met Mr.. Fallahee on the porch. SIS
Ryan still hereY' he asked. "Yes." re-
piled Mr. Fallahee, whats the matter?"
Captain Kane then acquainted him with
tho circumstances of the case, and was
told that Hayden had not got up vet.
Not knowing what kind of man he had to
denl with Captain Kane did not hurry
matters and waited until Hayden arose.
which was at 1890 o'clock.
The captain then placed him under ar
rest. Hayden made no resistance and
Captain Kane had no trouble with him.
Il am glad ] am arrested and it is all
over" he said when taken in custody.
Hayden said he came here on August
25 That day he stopped at the Grand
Union Hotel and he remained in Will
mngton the next day and then left the
city returning in September. At that time
he stopped nj the Central Hotel for two
weeks. He left the city again coming
| back Mt intervals and taking his meals
! ut the Central Hotel until about two
weeks ago. During this time he made
! frequent trips TO Baltimore and other
places coming back each day for his
meals to the Central Hotel.
| About two weeks age he went TO the
| Practical Farmer and was there until
| the time of his arrest. One day while
(, out cunning he was injured and was at
tended by DR.. James A. Draper. Ir.
| When arrested Hayden had but $3.SO1
in his possession. He told Captain Kane
he had dropped the greater part of the
$40, 600 in New York before he left for
this city.

his habit to use 80 grains of opium in
The form of powdered morphia daily,
when seven grains day will kill a per-
'on not addicted to the use of the drug;
and that he was physically unable to
undergo corporal punishment. In pass

nto consideration and did not impose
corporal punishment.
