Games.
Norfolk, Va., Nov. 25. V, P. I. tri
umphed over A. & M. of North Caro
lina, the score being 18 to 5. The
great punting of R. E. Hodgson which
frequently put the ball within striking
distance of the A. & M. goal, and
cleverly executed plays carried . tne
day for V. P. I. . .
Outweighed at least ten pounds to
the man, the Virginians more than
overcame that disadvantage by their
head work and Hodgson's trusty toe.
The punting of Hodgson averaged
twice the distance of that of his op
ponents. A. & M. took a brace when there
wa3 but ten minutes to play and scor
ed a touchdown within ten seconds
before the game ended.
It was estimated that 10,000 people
witnessed the game and the estmate
is likely correct. ' J
Sewanee Defeats Vanderbilt.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 25. Sewanee
gained her revenge today, winning the
annual football game with Vanderbi't

Sewanee, played the game of his life
and his tewn mates backed him up in
splendid style.,. Vanderbilt was lack
ing in her usual snapv and except in
the work of Morrison, who played ' a
star game. He went a down under
- )uua in ptentiid. style often down-'
ng "nis man inhis tracks.
The first half was almost .through
out a kicking duel with VanderbiU
frequently fumbling the ball.
Both teams adhered to straight foot
ball, most of the time. VanderbiU
tried the forward pass twice, gaining
each time, once, paving the way for
the touchdown. ;
In the second half Sewanee ripped
open the Vanderbilt Jine almost at
will and ran around the ends with
east.' Vanderbilt made her single
touchdown when luck , broke tempo
rarily in her favor in the second half.

'.' . . Situation.

meeting held here early today between
the entire State mining board, Bat
talion Chief McDonald, of the Chica
go Fire .Department, and W. W. Tay
lor, general superintendent of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St Paul Compa
ny's mines,-were made known this af
ternoon. ' " .
Battalion -Chief McDonald after an
Inspection of the work being accom
plished by :' his men, who had been
throwing water in the east bottom of
the mine for more than a week, advis
ed the State, mine Inspectors and the
representatives of the coal company
that the water being thrown into the
mine was not reaching the fire and
that he saw no use of throwing in any
more water as it was merely filling
up the third vein. Bodies of the
known dead in that vein are already
inaccessible, owing to the quantity of
water already thrown into the mine,
and to increase this amount of water
McDonald said, would delay recovery
of the bodies indefinitely.
Mr. Williams, of the Urbana rescue
station, who had been keeping careful
notes of the gases formed in the mine
reported that the fire had extended to
the coal pillar and was forming dan
gerous gases and making it perilous
for rescuers to continue at work. Af
ter considerable discussion and a care
ful going over of all phases of the sit
uation it was unanimously decided by
the meeting that the only thing that
would make possible ultimate finding
of the bodies in the mine was to seal
up both the main shaft. ind the air

cutting off of the air smothered the

AFFAIRS AT RALEIGH.
Observance of Thanksgiving Quiet
Change in Railway Taxation: .
(Special Star Correspondence.)
Raleigh. K. C, Nov. 25. The observ
ance of Thanksgiving. Day with special
services in the churches of the city
was more general today than -in -a
great while before. In addition to
this a great number of the business
houses were closed practically the en
tire day instead of during the after
noon. Tne State offices were ail clos
ed. However, some of the officials
add clerks disposed of the most urgent
State business behind closed doors.
W. W. Willson, city clerk of Raleigh,
has prepared ' a statement at the in
stance of a number of the officials of
the city showing that Raleigh has lost
through a change in Section 53, of the
Machinery Act of the last Legislature
$468.87 in taxes from the railroad
companies running into the city
through changing the law so that all
railroad property 1 whether on or off
the right of way Is to be given in to
the Corporation Commission for the
valuation to be put In , the general
main line trackage valuation on which
the -.taxes are distributed tq the coun
ties all along the line in proportion to
the mileage In each county. Hereto
fore all property on the rights-of-way
including the depots have been treated
n this manner and all other property
n the 'various towns and cities has
been eiven in for taxation in the mu-
niciDalities and subject to the local
municipal tax rate. It is tms class or
property that is now effected and on
which the cities lose some of the taxes
heretofore received. It seems that the
railroad companies dp-save- by the
change in that they escape the higher
municipal tax rates in some or tne
arger cities. However, tne-cnange
n the system greatly simplifies the
tax assessment of the railroad proper
ties generally and "many of the smla-
r towns and counties actuany get
considerably Increased taxes through
the change; . Raleigh officials have a
mind now to fight for a restoration of
the old system when tne Legislature
meets again. '

REJOICING OVER VICTORY
Revolutionists Have Received Supply
of Arms and Ammunition Amer-
ican Interests Protected.'
The Situation.
Washington, Nov. 25. The Nicara
guan revolutionists are gaining ground
according to advices received here
from the commander of the cruiser
Des Moioes, now in Nicaraguan wa
ters. The despatch adds that Ameri
can Interests are being protected and
that the blockade by the revolutionary
forces is 'effective.
New Orleans, Nov. 25. There is
much rejoicing among the revolution
ary forces in Nicaragua, according to
passengers arriving here today on the
steamship Marietta Di Giorgio from
Bluefields.
The followers of General Estrada
are elated over what they claim has
thus far proved a successful advance
against the government of Zelaya and
are sanguinely predicting the fall of
Managua, the Nicaraguan capital,
within a short time. This air of hope
has been strengthened by the atti
tude of the United States threatening-!
a demand, on Zelaya for reparation
for the death of the two Americans,
Groce and Cannon.
That the revolutionists have receiv
ed wh?.t1s a comparatively formidable
supply of arms and ammunition, was
the news received here tonight by
Consul General Sussman, representing
the Estrada government, at New Or
leans. According to the . cable to the
Cons.tr, the steamship Utstein, which"
was ' loaded and sent out of ' New Or-
eans with war supplies for the Insur
gent forces, .has. reached Bluefields.
The vessel cleared at New Orleans for
Port Barrios but remained at that port
for only a short time, before proceed
ing to Bluefields.
Mr. Sussman made known for the
first time tonight just what the Us
stein's cargo consisted of. It was as
follows: Two Gatling guns, 2,100 ri
fles, 250,000 rounds of ammunition,
and a complete outfit for 'making car
tridges. Washington, Nov. 25. Groce and
Cannon, the two Americans executed
by order of President Zelaya of Nicar
agua last week, held commissions in
the insurgent army, according to pri
vate advices . received here . tonight
from Bluefields, where the revolution-
sts government, is located. The dis
patch stated that the" State Depart
ment of the United States had been
notified to ths effect.
The State Department has been
anxious to clear up the point whether
the two men had commissions or were
merely acting in their individual ca
pacities, for in the former event they
would have been entitled to treat
ment as prisoners of war.
Bluefields, Nicaragua, Nov. 25. The
Norwegian steamship' Utstein arrived
here this morning from New Orleans
with 2,000 Mauser - rifles, 250,000
rounds of ammunition and several
pieces of; light artillery for the revo
lutionists. The steamer also brought
several -Americans to operate the
guns. Conditions are quiet.

Tazewell, Va., Sextuple Murder and
Arson Being Investigated. "
Richmond, Va., Nov. 25. A, Taze
well, Va., special to the Times-Dispatch
says, the Little case opened this
morning and within 30 minutes after
court-CQiweEAi, t he-jury- wasf fnpira'j
eiiea. when , night arrived and ths
court adjourned for the day the" State
had built up an exceedingly strong
case against the man accused of the
sextuple murder and arson.
The strongest witness against the
accused was Mary Lee, who swore
on the stand that the lantern which
Little brought with him after spend
ing the night of the murder away
from home, was the one which was
used in the Justis home and which
was the property of George Mead
ows. She identified it by the wick, which
was made from a felt hat. Counsel
for the defense ' fought hard against
the admission of the testimony, but
after argument of both sides,' the
judge decided to admit it. This evi
dence showed beyond a doubt that
Little visited thetfMeadows home on
the night of the murder as it is known
that the lantern was at the house be
fore the murder was committed. Other
witnesses also admitted that the lan
tern was the property of the late
George Meadows. ,
Mary Stacey, . the woman' with
whom Little .was to have left . the
town of Hurley for a Western 'trip,
admitted on the stand that Little ha J
told her that he had money in the
bank at Bluefield and that as soon
as he could get it out, that is, in
about 30 days, it being in the savings
department, he intended taking her
away from this section.
Evidence was admitted ; showing
that George Meadows and Bettie Jus
tis had $1,300 in the house at the
time of the murder but none of the
money has been found on Little.
Several times the lawyers got nto
some pretty warm wrangles on the
admission of evidence but while the
judge ruled first one way and then
the other, in his gruff way, he gave
entire satisfaction to both sides.
The State claimed tonight that half
its evidence was in and that it ex
pected to finish tomorrow. The court
room was crowded all day, and a spe
cial guard was thrown around the
jail tonight to prevent any 'trouble.
It is rumored that Little will ask his
wife to take - the . stand tomorow. She
has been sent for.

sion of rushes had but five yards to go
and time was almost up.
The Cadets held manfully on the

ried the ball over and a successful
trial at the goal followed.
While Donaldson put up a plucky
and aggressive game on the defensive
they were not abie to seriously threat

resorted to kicking tactics to offset the
terrific plunges of Noe. who was the
star of the contest. Broadfoot did
splendid work for Donaldson.x.
Cadets used the onside kick with
considerable success while Wilming
ton tried the forward pass sev ral
times. .
Wilmington team deserved their vic
tory, as they played better football all
