spnIding in Command.

Its too late" said Sralding as he re
ceiyed the papers.
While on the face OF it spalding's decla-
ration that Freedman was out does not
appear to be satisfactory proof that the
New York man has been ousted. there are
enough Indications to show that Spalding
has the whip hand. Whether or not Freed
man and his friends succeed in nullifying
Spalding's action by procedure in the
cou Is. they cannot hope TO beat the va
rious combinations that Spsliing has made
during the past two months.

Other Reasons Also

Mr.. Thompson in discussing the action
said:
"of course. the slur on our religion was
the Immediate cause. but it was not the
only one. Allegations were also made
that the Georgetown team was made up of
men whose right to play was questionable.
1t was complained that Georgetown was
unsportsmanlike.
Persistent rumors have 1oated to
Georgetown to the effect that Virginia
was contemplating breaking off sporting
relations with Georgetown. The eXcGu-
tive committee on athletics OF George
town University came to the conclusion
that Georgetown was well situated to take
the initiative IL athletic relations were to
be severed, and the letter sent today is
the result.
Tine step was taken only after mature
deliberation. IL involved the sacrifice OF
a big football game every year-the great
est event OF the football season in Wash
ingJOn. but Georgetown is willing TO risk
the loss. No games will hereafter be ar
ranged before the two universities come
to an amicable agreement which will pre-
vent in the future any complications sim

break"

service of Injunction.

Tbs declaration came after long state
ment by spalding. in which he went over
the ground with care and evidently guided
by legal advice.
At o'clock. as Spal5ing was leaving
the meeting room. man handed him a
bunch OF legal documents. It was service
in a suit brought by Freedman in which
i Supreme Court justice issued an order
to show cause why a temporary injunction
should not be issued pending the determi-
nation OF an action to test the title OF the
Office OF president secretary treasurer oil
the National League.
In other words the Freedman cOmbiua-
tion succeeded in binding Spalding s

Georgetown University has severed all
athletic relations with the University Of
Virginia. No games will hereafter be
scheduled between teams representing the
two Institutions
The Georgetown athletic advisory board
met yesterday and it was unanimously
agreed to break sporting bonds with vir-
ginia. Not a small factor in determining
the Blue and Grey to take this course was
the statement made in Topics" the Uni
versity OF Virginia paper. recently. that
victory in the football game with George
town on November is could hardly have
been expected, because the Georgetown
players were sprinkled with holy water"
before they entered the contest.
Curt Notice Given.
Tho reference to the religion OF George
town University angered both faculty and
students The following letter notifying
the Virginia athletic management of
Georgetown's action was mailed last
night:

Although Mr. Presley was dead when

he was alive at 80 o'clock. when James

Mr.. Mcdaniel told reporter for The

all the establishments of Cincinnati"
says Mr.. Hoffman, "are those immense
slaughter houses, where the business of
butchering and packing pork is carried
on. The number of hogs annually
slaughtered is said to exceed one hun.
dred and twenty thousand ;andthe CAPT
tai employed III the business. is estimated
at two millions of dollars. Some of the
establishments cover several acres of
ground; and one of the packing houses,
built of brick, and three stories high, is
more than hundred feet long, and
proportionably wide. The mirute
division Of labor and the fearful celebrity
of execution in these swinish workshops
would equally delight pasha and po-
litical economist for it is the mode in
which the business is conducted, rather
than its extent, which gives dignity to
hog-killing in Cincinnati, and imparts
tragic interest to the last moments of
the doomed porkers, that might inspire
the savage genius of a Maturin or a
Monk Lewis. Imagine long narrow
edifce, divided into various compart-
ments, each communicating with the
other, and each furnished with some
peculiar and appropriate engine of de.
struction. In one you see a cory
block and cleaning axe; seething
caldron nearly fills another.
The walls Of a third bristle
with hooks newly sharpened for impale-
ment; while fourth is shrouded in
darkness, that leaves you to conjure up
images still more dire. There are forty
ministers of fate distributed throughout
these gloomy abodes, each with his par
ticular Office assigned him. And here,
when the fearful carnival comes on, and
the deep forests of Ohio have contributed
their thousands of unoffending victims,
the gauntlet of death is run by those SO.
lected for immolation. The scene COM
mences in the shadowy cell, whose
gloom we have not yet been allowed to
penetrate. Fifty unhappy porkers are
here incarcerated at once together;
with bodies wedged SO closely that they
are incapacitated from all movement.
And now the grim executioner-like
him that battled with the monster that
wooed Andromeda-leaps with his iron
mace upon their backs, and rains his
ruthless blows around him. The un
resisting victims fall on every side but
scarcely does one touch the ground, be-
fore he is seized by a greedy hook pro-
truded through an orifice below.
His throat is severed instant
ly in the adjacent cell, and
the quivering body is hurried on
ward, as if the hands of the Furies
tossed it through the frightful suite Of
chambers. The mallet-the knife-the
axe-the boiling caldrOn-the remOrse.

his condition is very favorable to his
recovery. Every precaution is being
taken, and every chance possible is
given him. His sick room is vigor-
