SPECIAL AND LAST MEETING.
q the 1901 Bloomsbury Town Council Held
Monday Night.

The last meeting Of the 1901 Town
Council was held in the Town Hall
Monday night. The meeting was a
special one and called by the Presi-
dent for the purpose Of closing up the
business of the year. Secretary John
T. Tracy called the roll to which
members Hartman, Rabb, Dieffen-
bach, Kashner and Cronin answered
and proceeded with the reading OF the
statement of the towns condition
which he had previously prepared.
The report was most gratifying one
and showed that during the admins
tration of the retiring council the
liabilities of the Town have been
reduced to the extent Of $2,66I.7I.
Upon motion of Hartman, seconded
by Cronin, it was unanimously ap-
proved.
Bui ding permits were granted to S.
c. Greasy and H. J. Clark. To the
former for a veranda to his Fifth
street property, and to the latter for a
building on Center street, between
his store building and the Columbia
Steam Laundry. AT this juncture the
question regarding the power of the
President to grant building permits
without the CONSENT. or before a
meeting of council arose. The senti-
ment of the members favored en-
powering the President and it was
decided that hereafter he could grant
permits, the same of course, to be
passed by Council.
Bids for printing the town ordi-
nances in book form were received as
follows: Bloomsbury Daily Soc a
page, Geo. E. Elwell SOC a page, ].
c. Brown $I.Io a page. Upon mo-
ton of Rabb the Daily bid, being the
lowest, was accepted.
After some discussion the Council
arrived at the conclusion that they
had the right to place the town state,
ment in such publications and to have
it printed as their wisdom dictated,
whereupon, Hartman moved that ii
be given to the Columbian, Republi-
can, Sentinel and Morning Press
The motion was unanimously carried
Town treasurer E. f. Carpenter
reported that he has already collected
$Ia,ooo on this years duplicate
This is considered remarkable, and
Mr.. Carpenter is certainly to be con
graduated.
The newly elected council will take
hold of the municipal reins at the
next meeting which will be held
Thursday, April 10th. They were
sworn in on Tuesday.
The auditors are row at work or
the statement and it will probably be
, published next week.

Postmaster Brown Now.

James C. Brown, the newly ap-
pointed postmaster of Bloomsburg, is
now welding the scepter of authority
in that office. The change was
affected on Tuesday. F. M. Kelley
will continue as deputy, and Miss
Bessie Jacoby, coming under the civil
service rules, will also retain her posi-
ton in the Office.
There has been a notable increase
IN the receipts of the Office the past
year. The receipts of the office for
the year which ended March 81, 1901
were II,64o, IS. Last years income
amounted to $Is.434,26, an increase
of $a,8I4.oI. This will not only
elevate the standing of the Office, but
will also raise the salary of the post
master from $4,000 to $4,000.

READY FOR THE FRAY.
Soldiers ana Sailors Practiced in the
Mud Yesterday.

The foot ball team Of the United States
Naval Academy had its regular practice
game at Annapolis yesterday before leaving
for Philadelphia to meet West Point The
practice was open to spectators. and quite
a number were on hand to witness the
Hustlers take their last drlbbing.
Very fast work was impossible, owing to
the mud. but In spite Of this the navy had
little trouble in scoring a touchdown and
working 1t near enough again for Mine to
drop field goal. Opposed to them was a
strong Hustler team, with Semmes Reed,
the navy's great -ex-tackle. among them.
but even Reed could not stop the gains
around his end and elsewhere
The team, as a whole, Is In pretty fair
shape. Smith and Fretz are ready to play
with them. and their presence Is most nee

Carpenter, the 210-pound guard, and Aiken,
his successor. Both Of these men are i'm

year.
This afternoon the team will have its last
practice on the academy grounds which
Will consist principally In running through
signals and handling punts. Tomorrow
morning the team. under Lieutenant Com
mander Halsey, will leave Annapolis for
Philadelphia and that afternoon win prac-
tice little on Franklin field.
No one at Annapolis takes much stock in
the report coming from West Point Of sick
and injured players. The Middies expect to
face West Points strongest men, but every

Very few people at Annapolis, however,
are betting on the result. except as to the

ToDAY'S GAME.
Big Crowd and Great Enthusiasm for
the Indians and Blue and Gray.

The ardor Of Washington foot ball en-
thuSiasts has not been dampened by the
heavy rains Of the past few days. as was
evidenced this afternoon when the crowds
began pouring through the gates at George
town field to witness the climax of the foot
ball season in the capital city. the game be-
tween Georgetown and the Carlisle Indians.
The people began to arrive early, and X
could be seen from their high spirits that
they had come to enjoy themselves. There
was an unusual large number of ladies
among the spectators, and though the
ground was more or less covered with mud
they seemed not to consider this bar to
their enjoyment of the game.
From every part Of the grand stand there
waved the colors of the blue and gray,
while banners were displayed In profusion
over the heads Of the crowds. Shortly be-
fore 2:3O o'clock the rooters began to ar
rive and took seats on the west side Of the
field They had come to help swell the
volume Of noise, to sing songs and make
the welkin ring with shouts OF encourage
ment for their defenders on the gridiron
and right well did they fulfill their bolster
Gus mission. The boys got down to business
as soon as they arrived on the field, and
each member Of the crowd Wed with the
other in producing the most finished specf-
men Of foot ball enthusiasm.
The Carlisle Indians reached the city last
evening. There were about twenty-five
husky braves, In charge of Head Coach
Warner. The entire party Immediately
went to their quarters at the Hotel Barton
They seemed confident Of victory over the
blue and gray and are likely looking set
Of players, and were in good condition for
the game.
The Georgetown team has shown up ex-
cellently In practice the last few days
and from their condition 1t is safe to say
they will put up the best game of the sea-
son In the contest this afternoon. All the
favorites, including Captain Reilly and
Quarterback Buckley. will be In the play,
and the supporters Of the blue and gray
were hopeful Of scoring victory over the
redmen.
The rain Of the past two days made the
field wet and soggy. The air was cold and
lurking clouds gave promise of rain or
snow. Both teams were In good condition.
"Broncho" Armstrong Of Yale was select
ed as umpire for the game. and George
Young Of Cornell was chosen referee. The
teams decided to play thirty-minute halves
The lineup Of the teams as they appeared
today was as follows:

BOWLING.
Carroll Institute Took Two Games
From South Washington.

Carroll Institute took two games from
the South Washington Business Mems
bowling team last night. but 1t had to fight
to get them. The South Washington five
have been putting UP some pretty good
games so far this season, and have con-
sistently hung on to first position In the
District League race ever since the first
week q the season. Last night they
bowled twice In the 800 class, curiously
enough reaching exactly the same score in
each of the first two games. In the last
they slumped slightly. but for all that they
did not give the CAROLS an easy victory.
The institute men. while playing well,
were not strong on spare shots, and but
for this their totals would have been ex-
cellent In all the games. for they were
strong on strikes and secured many double
and triple headers. Rice Is evidently back

Cox also showed In good form, and closed
with good average, doing we'll on spare
shots The bowling was all OF steady
character. none OF the Individual strings

There was some bad bowling in the early
frames OF the first game. both sides break

their wind and put up a good run that
lasted clear through the second half and

Penn third, with So; Harvard fourth. with
50: Princeton fifth, with IS. and Columbia

Play Yesterday Afternoon.

The weather yesterday afternoon on the
Chevy Chase gorf course was something
on the order of the real Scotch atmosphere.
and the lovers of the sport were out In
force to take part in the handicap tourney
for two handsome cups presented by
Thomas Nelson Page. In the early part Of
the week the golfers had gone over the
course in order to qualify, and yesterdays
matches were the result of those rounds.
This handicap tourney Is for members Of
the Chevy Chase Golf Club, and through
these annual fixtures 1t Is expected that
new talent will be developed and the clubs
playing strength considerably augmented.
In past years good results have invariably
followed. and this fall the indications are
that one or more strong players will be
brought to the front

Interesting Matches.
A majority Of the matches furnished in
teresung play, but the one that attracted
the most attention was that beween Mr.
Thompson and Mr.. V. Kaufman. This
pair made the round of Is holes and the
score was all even. Back to the first hole
they wended their way. and 1t was not
until the third hole was reached that Mr.
Kaufman won out by one up. Mr.
Thompson Is one of LIE cleverest players
of the Chevy Chase Club, and for this rea-
son Mr.. Kauffmann's victory was unusually
praiseworthy. The development of Mr.
haunmann's play demonstrates the value
Of sticking everlastinsiy to It, He has
been out on the links in all sorts of weather
for the past two seasons, and although his
advancement has been slow this fall de-
cided Improvement was noticed In his play.
Time after time in the different tourna-
ments Mr.. Kaufmann has started Off we'll,
only to be wrecked through going off his
stroke on one or two holes, and this fall
down was generally enough to put him out
OF the running. Yesterday afternoon Mr.
Kaufman was on his stroke throughout
the match and he lad the satisfac uon Of
winning out after a game struggle.
The observation-disclosures match was also
an interesting one. the former finishing first
won by safe margins.
The raw weather kept down the gallery
to small proportions. but the friends Of the
players were out in force and watched the
play with great interest.
