SOCCER PLAYERS COLLAPSE
AFTER HARD-PLAYED GAME

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Van Cort-
landt Park was yesterday the scene
of many soccer games. The weather
was altogether unsuitable for this
winter pastime and after the games
many players collapsed in their club
houses, being unable to stand the
lon. strain of play in the heat.
The most important game was the
contest between the German F. c.
and n. Y. Celtics, champions of the
second division of the New York and
District League. The Germans gave
the champions unexpected battle,
with the result that the game ended
in a tie, each team scoring three
goals.

WEATHER
During Period OF II Hours
Was Most Remarkable
From Thunderstorm Of We'd.
DcSday Afternoon
To Nearly Zero By Thursday
Morning
Streets and Sidewalks In An
Icy Condition
And Singing Cold Wind
Makes Life Miserable

The Mt. Vernon citizen, who pre-
dicted that the backbone of the pres
ent severe winter weather was broken
awoke Thursday morning to find that
as cold as at any time during the pres
ent winter-which will go down in his
tory as the coldest for many years.
The drop in temperature was most
remarkable.
At three o'clock Wednesday after
noon there was thunder storm
with one flash of lightning and one
clap of thunder. Then the rain fell
in torrents and the walking was al
most impossible ON account of the
slushy condition of the sidewalks and
streets. The rain lasted almost an
hour and then it commenced to grow
colder. A high wind prevailed all
night long, and all day Thursday, for
that matter, and early in the even
ing the slush commenced to freeze.
Thursday morning the temperature
had dropped to about ten degrees
above zero and the sidewalks were in
very slippery condition and it was
almost impossible for pedestrians to
get along. In addition there was a
high wind, which seemed to come from
all directions, and was most stinging
cold.
The cold spell is most severe, es-
pecially after the few days of mild
weather which has prevailed recent
ly.
Some suffering is reported about the
city, but the Charities association en-
deavored to reach all who were in
absolute need.
On account of the slush freezing
on the rails, the street railway COM
pany was unable to operate cars until
nearly 8 o'clock Thursday morning.
The company had large force of men
at work digging the snow and
ice from the rails with picks and
shovels.
The steam roads into the city ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in op-
Grating trains on time. Passenger
train, No. IA, on the B. & o., due
in this city at 7:10 a. M, was aband-
oned Thursday morning in Indiana on
account of the heavy snow. Much of
the morning mali for Mt. Vernon is
carried on this train and it was late
in the day when this mail reached this
city.
The weather indications are for fair
Friday, with continued cold weather

She Was Kidnapped

until shortly before the death of an
old negro woman. that she learned
what she claims is her true identity.
"This negro woman, whose name
was Ellen Monroe, picked me up In
my fathers yard in Rochester, one
day." said Miss Foster Il was taken
from the city to the home of Mrs.
