A wonderful Railroad.

Two famous cities of Italy, Genoa
and Milan, are to be connected by
marvellous electric railroad eighty-hve
miles in length, which is to cost S47,-
100000. The excessive cost is owing
to the nature of the country through
which the line will pass. 1t will re-
quire nineteen tunnels, one of which
will be twelve miles long. There will
be 372 bridges, and the road will be
six years in the course of construc-
ton. The cost of the line construc-
tion alone will be $500,OO0 per mile.
The line will be double tracked and
there will be no grade crossings.
Trains will consist of three cars, each
accommodating fifty passengers. 1t

NAVY DEFEATS LEHIGH
Northcr0ft Kicks Great Goal from
Field from 49-Yard Line.
by Telegraph TO The Tribune. ]

Annapolis Oct 17.-LehISh put up an excellent
game against the midshipmen this afternoon
though defeated by the score OF 16 10 o The game
was the longest vet played here this season-two
a-mnute halves being payed-and the contest was
by far the best Of the year. The Navy backs had
much trouble in making impression on the Ise-
high line, most Of their gains being accomplished
on end runs or through a broken field
An incident Of the game which will pass into
athletic tradition at the academy was Captain
NorthCroft's field goal from placement from the
+s-yard line made toward the close OF the game.
While field goal from q spot -ifty-two yards from
the goal line is recorded, II held after free
catch, when there was little annoyance from the
opposing players. Northcroft kicked the goal to-
day from the regular lineup, il being received
by Mason from the centre.
Next in point Of brilliancy was Lange7s run OF
sixty yards early in the first half which earned
the Nays first score LANCE received the ball
past midheld after 1t had been punted by Martin
and eluded all of the Lehigh tacklers, putting the
ball directly behind the goal
The second touchdown was made toward the
close Of the half b. Richardson. after a forward
pass from LANCE to Reifsnider and runs by Jones
and Dalton had put the ball within striking dis
lance.
Lehigh was better both attack and defence in
the second half and it looked as If the half would
end with blanks wheH Northcroft lifted his 1nagni-
fcent field goal

Pennsylvania football team outplayed and defeated
the fast Brown eleven to-day by the score Of u
10 Q. The PennsyIvanians scored both OF their

They were made in much the same way. the Red

Browns fumbles.
When Brown got the ball on her 15-yard line
after the first kickoff she fumbIed The Quaker
attack could not be held and in three plays Manner
went over for g touchdown. Browns second mis-
fortune occurred a few minutes later, and gave
yard line.
Straight football ali that Pennsylvania relied
on TO advance the ball. The Brown defence could
stop the attacks Of the Pennsylvania backs and
Manner plunged the line for the second score
The attack of the Pennsylvania team in making
this score was the best football Franklin
Field this year.
After the second score Browns fumbling mania
seemed to affect the PenusyIvanians, and they lost
the ball this way several times when q scors
looked certain. Pennsylvania played without the
services CT keinath quarterback. and was con-
sequently weak on the forward pass.
In the second half the Quakers continued to keep
the ball IN Browns territory, only to lose IL near
the Brown goal line downs mlsplays- Many
substitutes sent in. but the Red and Blue
continued gain and had difficulty in throw
ing back the Brown attack The work OF the visit
