THROUGH Game Without a Tally.

Philadelphia. Nov. 30.-In the last
four minutes of play in the second half
Thursday Pennsylvania twice held
Cornell for downs within foot of the
goal line, saving a game which the
Quakers could not win themselves.
Neither team could score during the
hour Of clean, fast spectacular ana
even brilliant play and the contest
closed with one Of the most remarkable
defensive stands ever Witnessed on the
football field.
The $4,000 spectators. unmindful OF
the real winter cold and the biting;
wind which raced straight down the
field. were all but on their way home,
dissatisfied that another great game
would end without victory or a de-
feat; that the splendid contest they
had seen would go for naught, when
into the last seven or eight minutes
OF play was crowded some of the most
exciting football of the year.

Russell, our Vice President. Upon
receipt Of the communication address
sed to Dol. Russell by Mr.. Morrison.
said letter was referred to me and af-
ter giving the whole question Of rates
to and from Okolona most careful
consideration, we have decided In com
pliance with the wishes of our friends,
the merchants at Okolona, to make the
following disposition Of their request
for the readjustment of rates;
(I The rates in effect from Cairo,
st. Louis and contiguous points to
OkoIona are already, generally, less
than the rates from the same points { I
origin to points in the Aberdeen
Group. Therefore, this satisfactorily
disposes Of that feature of the case.
(2) Okolona was dissatisfied with
the adjustment Of rates on cotton from
that point to Carolina milling points
and to so called Southeastern milling
points. We have already changed the
rates from Okolona to these points on
cotton to figures not higher than the
existing rates from Aberdeen. This
satisfies your request on that point.
(S) With reference to rates on
Louisiana products, viz, Coffee, Sugar,
Rice and Molasses from New Orleans,
we have decided to give Okolona the
benefit of the rates now in effect from
New Orleans on those commodities to
Aberdeen, which rates will be as fol-
lows:
Commodity G. L. L. 9. L.
Sugar 28c 3S'l' &c per lOO 10.
Coffee Acc 40
Rice 24c 33
Molasses 22c 4O-12
This adjustment of the rates on
coffee, sugar, rice and molasses we al
so understand to be just exactly what
the community of Okolona r, quests.
This disposition of the matter, we
hope, will be entirely satisfactory to
our friends at Okolona and we ask that
it be taken a. an evidence of our de-
sire to do all we reasonably can to aid
in the development of the trade OF
Okolona and as an appreciation of the
consistent cooperation that we have
always enjoyed at the hands of our
business friends at that place.
The rates on Louisiana Products re
ferred to, will become effective as soon
as it can be done legally, which will be
about Dec. 18TH

,HAIDEN MILLER.
