WEST POINT AT PHILA- DELPHI A . The Annual Contest On Frank- lin Field Yesterday Attended With Usual Interest. ? MIDDIES THE GRIDIRON BATTLE SCORED ALL THEIR POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF. BRASSBURGER'S WORK THE SENSATIONAL FEATURE OF THE GAME. Philadelphia, Nov. 29. The defenders of the nation the army and the navy- today became rivals in a contest for superiority on th'e: football field. The occasion was the atnnual game between the elevens representing the Annapolis Naval Academy and the West Point Military Academy. This contest has become a feature of the football sea son in Philadelphia and invariably at tracts to Franklin field a crowd greater than the seating capacity. Today was no exception. The attendance is by in vitation only, but this season here, as heretofore, the applications for seats wera far in excess of the supply. The two teams are the guests of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania and all ar rangements are under the personal di rection of that institution. The men received a warm welcom2 hi this city. The business houses in the principal streets were decorated with the army and navy colors-, and every spectator wore a badge or a ribbon or carried a pennant denoting his or her preference. Better weather for the game could not be desired. There was but little wind and the air .was crisp and invigor ating, tempered by a warm sun. The army was slightly the favorite, but ow-, ing to the numerous football surprises this year, a selection was difficult. The game is, of course, a leading so cial event of the season. Today's con test was attended by cabinet - officials, officials of the United States army and navy and leading citizens of this and other cities. The team lined up as follows: Annapolis. Position. West Point. Uniting .. .. left end.. . .Farnsworth Rogers left tckle.. .. Hammond Grady left guard Riley Fretz center Boyer Belknap.. .. right guard .. Thompson Farley right tackle .. Gracves Soule right end .. ..McAndrew Smith quarter back Daly Root left half back.. .. Hackett Brassburger . . right half back Bunker Halsey full back Torney The contest was a hard fought one. The army team defeated the navy elev en by a score of 22 to 8. The middies scored 8 in the first half and nothing Supreme Court Certificates A- and issued certificates of election to the 10 congressmen). The .contest in the Ninth district was settled in favor of H. C. Slump, republican. "I shall fight to the end to get the negroes their rights," said Capt. John S. Wise tonight. "My defeat today be fore Justice Fuller affects me no more than the killing of a picket affects the result of a battle. I shall bring this case before the Supreme court as soon as possible and shall file 50 or 100 suits for $5,000 each against the members of the constitutional convention in va rious United (States courts of the state.

Lambert leaves to aay ior -Newport, Tenn., where there will be a meeting tomorrow of persons interested in the proposed railroad. Seven hundred and eighty-five dol lars have been subscribed by citizens of Asheville toward the preliminary surveys, investigations, etc., incident to the building of the proposed rail road. Two thousand dollars is needed for this work. As stated in the Ga zette recently, the subscriptions are made under the following conditions: "If, after said surveys, investigations, etc., it is found practical to build the railroad, each subscriber will receive stock in the railroad company to the amount of his subscription." There is not a person in Asheville who will not be benefitted by the build ing of this railroad, and much depends upon the interest the town's people takes in the enterprise, whether or not it is promptly carried forward. The subscription list for the next few days will be open to those who will add their names to it, at the store of B. H. Cosby in Patton avenue. The remain der of the $2000 should be raised this week. Dr. Lambert states that he is un able to make a canvass of the town in order to interest citizens in the project, and asks that all who are willing to give it their support will call at Mr. Cosby's and sign the subscription list.

Dog Catcher Black stated yesterday that as yet the person or persons who entered his pound and captured all his dogs have not yet been apprehended. He states, however, that he has a clew which may lead to the capture of the culprit and which again "mou-ght" not.
