In doing so he was tack led by some of the players and thrown to the ground. This was 2 mistake. of course. The old and fee ble man was unable to arise from the ground. He was considerably bruised about the body. He was car ried away q short distance and was then able to limp homewards. Such an act Is q disgrace 10 I community and should not be tolerated by the public The accident put an end to the game for last night. but will not the same disagreeable practice be re- peated tonight.

Women and Farm work.

It is said that 7allly 500,00O women are employed in the western states as harvest laborers and general farm hands. This is accounted for by the numerous Improvements in agricultu- ral machinery, which enable woman to do the work a easily as man, and also by the large number of women who own farms and manage them themselves. This is especially true in Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota, where there are farms of 1000 acres belonging to women. Per- sons who are acquainted with life in these states assert that in many cases the Homen make more money out of the farms than did the husbands or ss-aers from whom they inheritsd <hsms '7S

WIDESPREAD RUIN.
Reports of Damage by Storm
 Are Multiplied.
LONG ISLAND AND JERSEY HARD HIT
Scarcely a Building at Long Branch Escaped the Gales Fury-Sum- mer Homes Along the
 Coast Suffered.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Reports of the damage done by the storm on Sat urday night and Sunday continue to come in. There are not many new startling facts coming to light, but the details from points on the Jersey coast, the southern coast of Long Island and the upper shore of Long Island sound show that the destruction was wide. spread and the monetary loss much heavier than at first supposed,
 Long Branch reports show that hard ly building there escaped some dam. age. It is figured that ii the storm had lasted another twelve hours the result would have been q ruined city,
 An instance of the great force of the wind is shown by a plank from the roof on the shore end Of the pier. This plank is about 20 feet long. [ inches wide and 2 thick. It was torn from the roof and up ended apparently and whirled into the air and clear across Ocean avenue and struck the Lenox hotel head on. It was driven into the side of the building to q depth of four or five feet at height between the sec ond and third stories. 1t still sticks out of the wall.
 On Long Island many portions of the Long Island railroad tracks are still submerged. Besides the loss resulting from stoppage of traffic. it will take many thousands of dollars to repair the breaks. Temporary repairs are be- ing made as fast as possible. The damage along Flushing creek alone is estimated at $5O,0O0. Huntington, Long Island, suffered most severely. Yachts and boathouses were swept away, while piers went out to sea by the hundred in that vicinity.
 The wealthy New Workers who have summer houses on the upper shore of the sound visited them, to find wreck and ruin in all directions. The shore Improvements are in ruins, while fine shade trees are laid low and extensive lawns piled high with sand and wreck age.
 Reports still come in from points in New Jersey, on Staten Island sound and the surrounding inland waters. It will take days to figure out the loss.
 Advices from Toms River, N. l., say that the wrecks of four barges lie along the coast in the vicinity of Barnegat light. They came ashore during the storm and are rapidly pounding to pieces in the surf. There will be no sal wage from them, as they are breaking up rapidly under the continued heavy sea.
 The barges were the Grant, Wilmore, Davis and Whitman. Each barge had one man on board. Two of the men were saved through their barges being driven far enough inshore for the life savers to send them line. The other two barges stranded farther out. and the men were washed overheard before the barges worked far enough in to be reached. The bodies of the two men washed ashore. They were inferred at once. Their names are not known De- scriptions of them were taken by the life savers
