THE NEWS GETS
HOMOGENEOUS.

But that was only starter The news
wondered about by the crowd now began
to come in bundles. Yellow Slip after
yellow slip was copied and pasted up for
the interested public, and still was to
come the tale of wrecked and battered
Badger players. There was a painful
Sameness to the bulletins. All the time
that little pigskin oval was being kicked,
clutcned and smashed down against the
frozen dirt in the Minnesota territory.
The lineup said that Rogers, the great
tackle, was at one end Of the Minnesota
line, and told of Aune being at the other.
Between Aune and Rogers were the giant
Flynn, big Strathern the fighting Fee
and Schach, but the bulletins that fol-
lowed the lineup told of Curtiss, Larson,
Cochems and Driver sweeping around the
ends smashing through the middle, and
did not tell of their being stopped by the
famous stone wall.
1t was awful. Another bulletin told of
the ball being on Minnesota's tnree-yard
line. 1t was kicked out of danger. ac-
cording to the next report, but almost be-
fore this announcement had been written
the ball was again down within the FIVE
yard line mark
And then the second installment of the
jolt arrived. The simply curious ones
staggered and rubbed their eyes, and the
knowing boys hurriedly showed their
money wads into inside vest pockets; for
Larson had been showed across the line
and the bulletin said: Wisconsin Z, Min
nesota 0.

whole thing, and that nobody had any
rights after football game except those
who wore ribbons of maroon and gold
and could Justify shout, whats the
matter with -? He's all right. Who's
all right? '
Not a sound was heard save the noisy
tread Of handful of Badger enthusi-
asts, who paraded the streets behind
yards of cardinal streamers of insulting
length, and gave vent to their feelings
occasionally by counting the score, one,
two, three and up to eighteen, and each
number, as it was spoken, seemed to
pierce the, hearts of all who heard it,
until in sheer desperation, they covered
their ears with their gloved hands and
sought refuge in some friendly inn, there
to endeavor to drown their sorrows.
Probably no event in the history of the
city has thrown such pail over the en-
tire people as this bitter defeat. Fully
5000 people crowded around the bulletin
boards during the afternoon and waited
anxiously for the tables to turn But
fate was against them. They were des-
tined to see the almost sacred goal line
of Minnesota for it had not been crossed
this year, made a playground for the
arrogant and saucy Badgers.
After it was all over one could see lit
tie knots of men hudd]ed together trying
to tell each other how it all happened,
but how could this be done, no one would
accept any kind Of an explanation.
The most sad and gloomy lot, however,
was at the university chapel. They had
made great preparations to cheer and
feast on the downfall of the Cardinals.
A special telephone was connected d.
rectly with the field at Camp Randall
and an operator kept them informed as
to the movements Of the two teams, as
they wavered back and forth across the
field. At first they had an opportunity
to cheer, but it was of short duration,
and the blow almost broke the telephone.
When the game advanced to such point
that it seemed like a farce, they turned
the meeting into sort of josh, and put
upon the stage sort Of farce comedy,
entitled, Glow You Could Do It." There
was also a violinist present, who enter
tanned the assemblage with a funeral
dirge. Songs were sung, short speeches
of coincidence for those who mad gone to
Madison were made, and the meeting adj

wretch mixed the bulletins in transmits
sion. This bulletin told that the Wiscon-
sin team looked like collection of small
boys when lined up near the Minnesota
giants of the North. The bulletin read
ers have a poor opinion of the Wiscon-
sin mans ability to judge size.
By the time Bulletin No. arrived the
waiting crowd had become interested.
Things were going down at Camp Ran
dali, and something was certain to- drop.
Some in that crowd even felt feeling
of remorse creeping into their chests for
Phil King. The game had surely started
by this time, and by closing their eyes
many could see, MANNED and bruised
Badgers scatterd all over the gridiron.
They could see Cochems, Larson and
Curtis denting their heads against that
stone-wall line, but why didn't the news
come?

.JANITOR ENDS
THE SAD STORY.

The first props had been kicked out
from beneath the bundle of gloom allotted
to st. Paul, and the bundle was still
sinking. There was still hope, but Mr..
Kings young men had received lovely
shove at the start and they were still
moving.
They continued to move some right up
to the first intermission, and by that time
the crowd knew that the finish was writ
ten. Waiting for something that might
happen during the second CLASH, they con-
tinued to watch the bulletins. They stood
patiently out in front of the windows I'M
til the end. They saw the boy paste UP
the last slip of paper, read. "Final score,
Wisconsin IS, Minnesota o." and then,
with each man contributing his mite Of
support to the COB of gloom, they turned
away, leaving the janitor to pull down
the story of the Minnesota football
teams defeat as told by the bulletin
service.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. 16-One of
the most interesting games of the season
was played here this afternoon, when
the naval cadets defeated the football
team of Washington and Jefferson college
by score of II to H. The first half was
marked by good defensive work on the
part of the visitors, and the navy scored
a goal and a touchdown only after the
Pennsylvania had made two fumbles on
kicks and lost the ball. The first part
of the second half was walkover for
Washington and Jefferson, and they
scored a touchdown goal and field goal
in the first ten minutes. AT this point

remaining fifteen minutes the navy play

scored two touchdowns, from one OF
which goal was kicked.

Noted Astronomer and Mathematical
Wonder.

Prof. Truman II. Stafford, Field me-
mortal professor of astronomy in Will
liams college, who died Friday at the
home of his sons in Newark, NJ j., was
a Vermonter by birth, having first seen
the light of day in Royalton, Jan. 6, 1886.
He was mathematical prodigy, and at
the age of eight could square numbers
of % and "a figures by mental process.
This faculty remained with him through
out life, and made his investiga lions
rapid and his results absolutely certain
At the age of nine he calculated the
comet orbits and the phases of the moon
for the publishers of an almanac. In
later life he could obtain results in com
plicated propositions with a speed that
was abnormal, and by mathematical
methods which were radical departures
from the accepted forms, some of which
he found difficulty in explaining to
others. He graduated from Harvard in
1854, and for ten years thereafter held a
position In the observatory of that in
stitution. He was then director of the
Dearborn observatory in Chicago, and was
later connected with the geodetic and
coast survey He directed the surveys of
the boundaries of New Mexico and Utah.
He went to Williams college as Field
memorial professor of astronomy in 1876
and held that position until his death
He had published several scientific works
and was a member of the leading sci
entific and astronomical societies of this
country and Europe. He leaves a wife
and four sons.

Fire Loss Of $4,000 in Barre.

Barre narrowly escaped a serious fire
early Tuesday morning. At one time
nine buildings were on fire, but the total
loss 1t is thought will not exceed $4,000.
Shortly after midnight a blaze started
from some unknown cause in the oiu
armory building just on Main street.
The fiames spread rapidly and o. IL.
Hale's dancing pavilion and auction rooms
on Pearl street soon caught. This sec
ton of the city included many wooden
tenement houses and several business
blocks. The flames leaped from one to
another until nine structures were ablaze.
In the face of these odds the firemen
worked steadily and at length they Sc
cured control. After the fire was out IT
was estimated that the damage would
amount to between $4,000 and $4,000
which was nearly covered by insurance.
The armory building, dancing pavilion
and Morse & Jackson's wood yard were
destroyed. The first two buildings were
owned by o. II. Hale.

rhe oreatest Of Power Stations.

Undoubtedly the most interesting cleo
trical installation now being carried out
is the equipment of the Manhattan Ele-
waited roads with electricity. The great
power house, 200 feet in width by 400
feet in length, will be the largest in ex-
istence, and its compound engines will,
we believe, without exception, be the
largest single steam units to be found any
where i'm service on land. The normal
capacity of the power station Will be
65 900 horse power and the maximum ca
pacity about 100000 horse power The
steam plant will be made up of eight
compound engines, which will be capable
of running under a continuous load Of H.
600 horse power each. These engines are
of an entirely new type, and they are
placed in pairs on each end of a shaft
which carries a Westinghouse generator
with a revolving field 81 feet in diameter
and weighing 1856 tons. The chief nov
city of the engines consists in the fact
that the high and low pressure cylinders
are placed at ninety degrees, the high
pressure being horizontal and the low
pressure vertical. AS there are two en-
gines to each shaft the turning moment
is perfectly even, so much so that the
customary hywheel Is dispensed with its
place being taken by the heavy revolving
field of the generator. The high-pressure
cylinders are "A inches and the low-pres-
sure cylinders 60 inches in diameter, the
common stroke being SS inches. To find
engines that will compare with these In
size, we must refer to the engine rooms of
some of the largest ocean steamships.
The most powerful marine engines are
those of the Deutschland" each quad
ripple expansion engine on this ship has
indicated in "a hours as high as 1880
horse power or 50 per cent more than the
maximum capacity of the engines above
described.

Latest Flying Machine.

Gustave Whitehead, of Bridgeport,
Conn, has invented a flying machine
which has attracted the attention of sci
entists. 1t is built on the model of a
bat There is a body 16 feet long. 2R
feet wide, and feet deep, with aero
planes on each side, which give it the APP
pearance of an enormous bird. The
wings" are of bamboo poles covered
with cloth and are braced with steel
wires. At the rear is a ten-foot rudder
corresponding to the tail of a bird.
Both wings and rudder can be folded up
when not in use A double compound
engine of 20 horse power drives a pair of
propellers which are attached in front of
the body. On the bottom of the body are
wheels. The theory of the inventor is
that the machine can be propelled along
the surface of the earth until sufficient
momentum has been acquired to cause it
to rise, on the same principle that a
large, soaring bird rises for it's sweeping
flights in mid-air. All the parts are
very light. Power is developed in the
engines by the explosion of calcium car
bon. A number of experiments have
been made, but up to date no free flight
has been attempted.

United States Licenses in Vermont

lrTOm the burlington free GreSS.
1t is learned that for the year ending
the last of this month there have been
1874 United States tax receipts for the sale
of alcoholic liquors issued to residents of
this state. Nearly one-fourth of these
were issued to persons in Chittenden
county and there are in Chittenden
county 80 licenses less than there were
the preceding year. The different
counties in the state hold United States
licenses as follows: Chittenden A. Rut-
land 81, Bennington "a, Addison %, Wind
ham 10, Essex r. Washington 6, Franklin
b, Orleans 5, Caledonia 4, Orange g. Wind
sor 8, Lamoille 2, Grand Isle 0. In Wind
ham, Bennington, Rutland, Addison and
Chittenden there are 1854 licenses held
and but 40 in the rest of the state. In
the three counties of Rutland, Addison
and Chittenden there are 20 more licenses
held than there are in the rest of the
state. Nearly all of those in Chittenden
county have been taken during the past
year in fictitious names like "Vossmer
Daumer," John Doe & Co.." etc. One
name "R. ]. Yead" spelled backward,
reveals the name of the ingenious Mr..
r. j. Daley. If we are correctly in
formed the deputy collector of internal
revenue is under positive instructions to
give the true name and place of business
of every one who takes out license, and
he commits a gross breach of his duty
when he fails TO do so.

Two Disasters In New York Harbor

Two extraordinary disasters occurred in
the harbor at New York Friday after
noon-one to the United States transport
ingalls,, the other to the Staten Island
ferryboat Northheld.
With about $40 persons, men, women
and children on board, the Northfield had
just steamed out Of the South ferry slip
tor Staten Island at 6 o'clock when the
ferryboat Mauch Chunk, of the Central
railroad of New Jersey, crashed into her
with such force as to knock a great hole
in her side.
The Mortified Immediately began to
fill and settle. Panic seized the passen-
gers. The tide carried the sinking boat
up the East river. She whistled for aid
and score OF river tugs rushed to her
assistance and began taking off the pas
sengers. Not a few of these leaped into
the water. Several persons were injured.
About dozen horses persisted on the
main deck The ferry boat sank off pier

was struck. Each captain blames the
other. 1t was supposed at first that "A
