RAH! FOR TIGER.
Crowds OFF to See the Big
Football Battle at Prince
ton Today.

Every boat which reached this city this
morning from New York bore crowds Of
well-dressed people all off for the Prince
ton-Yale football game. Huge yellow
chrysanthemums, yellow and b. lck rib
bons, yellow and black flags with a sP"
in a diamond were carried by many of
the passengers, men, women, and girls,
while just as numerous were those who
sported the blue of Yale.
Brooklyn annex boats brought large
force of enthusiasts for Princeton from
the City of Churches, and all the MORN
ing the Pennsylvania Railroad depot was
crowded. Special trains We're run at
cheapened rates and every train was
crowded; people even standing on the
platforms of the cars.
LOOKED LIKE A RIOT.
About one hundred and fifty callow
youths from New York, all with Yale
flag, blue streamer, yard long, from
the lapels of their coats and a fishhorn
in their hands marched through the de-
pot yelling something or another winding
up with piercing, shrieking, earsplit-
ting, headachy:-
ELI, Eli, Eli, Eli"
A batch of youngsters similarly trick
ed out with yellow and black ribbons,
flags and horns, yelled in Defiance
Nassau; Tiger-r-r-r,' and that much
over-worked stationmaster, Kiefer,
thought that a riot was imminent, but
the youths were only full Of good humor
and enthusiasm, bottling up something
else for tonight after the battle, when
they will make New York streets very
lively and give Commissioner Partridge's
bluecoats something to do.

Back.
WOMEN IN The CARRIAGE

WOMEN IN The CARRIAGE

Alexander McGlory. OF No. so River
street, Hoboken, was standing ON the
back platform of a Washington street
trolley car ON Fourteenth street, that
city, last evening when his attention WAS
attracted to a runaway horse dragging a
buggy in which two women were hud-
died.
The horse was twenty feet in the rear
of the car when McGIory first saw it,
The predicament of the women excited
him, and, buttoning up his coat. lie asked
man who was hanging to the step of
the platform to change places with him.
Pretty soon the horse was alongside
the car. McGlory leaped from the plat
form step and landed on its back.
SPECTACULAR FEAT.
The feat was so spectacular in its dar-
ing that the conductor stopped the car
to allow himself and the passengers an
opportunity to see the outcome of the
mans experience.
McGlory climbed along the back of the
horse like circus rider until he reached
its neck, when he swung down and sup
ported himself with one hand gripping
the bride and the other holding on to
one of the shafts.
The horse continued in its flight, but
the weight Of McGlory materially i'm
peded its progress, and it soon came to a
standstill
McGlory let himself to the ground
and assisted the. women to alight from
the carriage The experience so un-
neryed them that they refused TO re-
turn to the carriage, and asked McGlory
to take the rig to nearby livery sta bic.
HORSE BOLTS AGAIN.
The women gave him their address
in Fort Lee and offered to reimburse
him for his trouble, but McGlory laughed
the incident off and refused the money.
The horse broke away again when Nc
Glory was taking it to the livery stable
and he narrowly escaped being thrown
from the carriage
McGlory is section foreman en-
ployed by Stats Brothers, the contrac-
tors building the new North German
Lloyd piers in Heboken.
Last summer he saved two young
women from drowning at Rocka way
Beach, and year ago distinguished
himself by rescuing two boys at a tene-
ment hre on Jefferson street, Hoboken.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE RUBBISH

Judge William G. Ewing of Chicago,
one Of the most notorious of the Chris
tian Science humbugs, gave a lecture in
Hasbrouck Hall last night to large
audience, composed principally of the
curious and unbelievers.
Mr.. Theodore w. Burger, of this city,
introduced the speaker, who is an ex-
judge Of the Superior Court of Cook
county, III.
Judge Ewing's address was the usual
unintelligible fanago of nonsense, and his
auditors, though they listened attentive
". failed to be impressed.
The speaker advanced as an evidence
Of the honesty and purity of Christian
Science the fact that it was, as he called
it, the product Of q woman. How Chris
tian Science was produced or what It
really was, the speaker failed or forgot
to explain.

AFTER CURRAN.
Excise Board on Mr.. Carey's
Advice Again Takes
Steps to Close the
Place.

The Board of Excise Commissioners
last night adopted resolution condemn
ing the concert hall run by James j.
Curran, at No. 273 Washington street
and ordering Curran to appear before
the board next Friday night and show
cause why his license should not be
revoked.
The place was formerly conducted by
Bernard Lennon, and was known as
the Washington Garden. Lennon was
refused license in July last, but Cur
ran, upon making certain promises to the
Board, succeeded in obtaining one on
August g.
In the resolution adopted by the Board
last night it was said that Currai, in
stead of using the hall or room in- the
rear of the saloon for manufacturing
purposes, as he pledged himself to do,
was using it for concert hall. The
Commission alleges that the concert
hall has become disorderly house.
A copy of the resolution will be served
upon Curran by City Clerk Michael j.
O'Donnell.
About a month ago the Commission
revoked Curran's license without afford
ing him hearing. Curran's counsel Sc
cured writ Of certiorari removing the
action of the Board to the Supreme oCurt
for review. AS the writ acted as a stay
Curran has not closed his place.
The action taken by the Board last
night was upon the advice of Assistant
Corporation Attorney Robert Carey. 1t
is Said that Mr.. Carey concluded that
the former action of the Board was il
legal, and he recommended last nights
course in order to make the proceeding
egal.

Running Horse for the Man
"Out -All-Night."

Patrolman De Clark of the Seventh
precinct police, while on post at the
Boulevard and Tonnele avenue early this
morning. stopped runaway horse at
tached to handsome rubber tired road
wagon, the driver of which, handsome
man Of fifty, was fast asleep in his seat,
evidently recovering from an all nights
outing.
De Clark, who is big and strong ran
into the middle of the road and grabbing
the horse by the bride, brought him to
an abrupt stop.
Whats The trouble" asked the occu-
pant, as he aimlessly bent over the dash
board in search of the reins, which had
fallen out of his hand, and lay on the
shafts. whats the matter" he re
peated.
The officer explained, and asked the
stranger for his name and address. The
information was refused, and taking up
the lines, the sleepy driver went his way.

Mr.. Carey then referred to circular
issued just before election accusing him
Of injecting religion into the campaign.
This he denied, as he did the charge that
at a meeting in Harrison he had repre-
sented himself as a member of certain
religious society in order to obtain votes.
He concluded:
II have no complaint to make now. /
may never be candidate again, but I
pledge you my earnest support as Re-
publicHn, for ! am better American
and q better Republican as result Of
the campaign through which have just
passed"
This concluded the mournful ceremony,
and the delegates slowly dispersed.

Mayor Fagan signed this morning the
resolution adopted by the Tax Board at
a meeting yesterday afternoon fixing the
tax rate at $27.s0, based on S100, 100000

The meeting yesterday afternoon was

Robert J. Hoos voting no when the roll
was called for a vote ON the resolution
fixing the rate Commissioner Hoos said
he thought the ratables were $1,000,000
