NONE ESCAPED.
Road, Contractors, Bond Companies,
Officers and Relatives Pursued.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 30~The
merger of the Hampton Roads Railway
& Electric company, with the Newport
News and Old Point Railway & Elec-
trio company will probably end one of
the most remarkable strikes Of ill-luck
that ever befell a RAILROAD in Virginia.
The railroad was in the hands Of a
receiver before it was completed. The
contractors also failed and never COM
pleted the road. Several bonding COM
panies in Philadelphia backed the en-
terprise, and in each instance there
was a run on the companies. In two
instances the president of the company
died suddenly.
Suit was brought against the COM
pany by Washington woman for
$40, 900 damages alleged to nave been
received in an accident.
The suit was compromised. Shortly
afterwards the woman lost her hus-
band and later lost her mind, and is
now an inmate of an asylum. Her at
torney committed suicide On public

ROBBER ESCAPES.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 30.-A dispatch
from Racine says that today the po-
lice and railroad detectives, after a
running fight with one robber, captured
another.
The two, Edward Antoine and Joseph
Wischki, had entered several cars in
the night which were lying near Lake
side. When the detectives arrived An
tone was in a car passing out arti-
cles at Wischiki Antoine was shot in
the car while a chase was given to
Wischki. He made his escape.
At the homes of the men, a large
amount of property looted from the
freight cars was found. 1t is said that
Antoine confessed they had been en-
gagged in the work for a year or more
and in that time had stolen several
thousand dollars worth of goods from
the cars.

MISSIONARIES AND FARMERS
MET FOR THE GREAT CON-
FLICT THIS AFTERNOON.
Both Teams Were Confident of Win
ning-Good Sized Crowd De-
spite the Weather.

Whitman and Pullman football
teams trotted out on the Ankeny
field at 1870 this afternoon in a driv-
ing snow storm to play the big game
of the year. Although the bad wealth.
err prevented the great 1000 crowd
which was expected, an immense
bunch of Wnitmanites filled the grand
stand and the sideline when Referee
Hills whistle sounded. Old stu
dents had come from clear across
the state to see the game and the
gang of rooters that made the air
tuneful under the leadership of Har-
old Ellis, yell leader, before the game
was large and enthusiastic in spite
of the depressing weather.
No guess as to the outcome of this
game can be predicted, but both
teams are feeling quite confident.
Captain Stewart of the Washington
State college said to a reporter last
night: I'VE are going to eat them up
that is all have got to say. That is,
we are going to try and 1 think we
will"
Captain Perringer was equally
cheerful He said I'VE are in fine
shape and 1 believe we will make
things interesting for our big OppO-
nents."
The feeling about the college this
morning was not SO cheerful. Every
body seemed to feel that the sloppy
field would give the superior weight
of the Pullmanites a chance to tell.
Manager ellis made herculean efforts
all the morning to keep the field
clear, but the weather man seemed to
have the best of it in spite Of him.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Kingdom
Gould, George Gould's son, was black
balled last night, when his name came

Crown, the society to which every
student in Columbia university is eligi-
BILE Sixty-four young men were voted
on at the meeting, and young Gould
alone failed of election.
Columbia sophomOres, Mr.. Gould's
classmates, said tonight he was re-
jected by Kings Crown because he
has been detrimental to the youth

mean that he was largely instrumental

BILLIARDS..
One of the Oldest Games known-The
Sport of Kinqs.

One Of the Oldest Games known-The
Sport Of Kings.
Billiards is one of the oldest games
known to the world.
The early Egyptians played it; in
Caesars time; in George Washington's
time the game was in high favor the
same as it is today, for, be it known,
that no other parsonage than King
Edward rolled the worries rather sue
cessfully the other day, making
score of some SO points in an 1Sinch
balk line game.
In America ever since the 10 states
started to do business under the Stars
and Stripes, the game of billiards has
held full sway in all the civilized parts
of the land, and with each succeeding
year up to the present time the game
has continued to be played with en-
thusiasm and has grown greatly in
popularity.
Hundreds of games of sport; games
of recreation order, have come up;
have gone their way to be heard of
no longer; but not SO with the game
of billiards; it is here today as of yore
and that's why it has earned for it
self the name of "the grand old game. .
AS far as billiards and Walla Wal
lans are concerned, the latter are in
deed fortunate, for Lutcher Brothers
is second to none in the state. 1t is a
hall that is thoroughly up-to-date,
splendid tables, balls, ETC., and provides
every facility for the successful play
ing of the game.
