The High scliool bo.vn went down to Ash- InnU to piny foot ball .yesterday. They were tolled In the dust to the tune of 03 to 0 , and nro only Just beginning to roallzo that they nro no longer the champions. In the first place the Omaha boy wcro badly crippled In having both of their half backs dooo up , ono of them not being able to liltiy. However , they wont at It pluoklly and had It not been for the far greater weight of their opponents , would have given them a hard struggle. Onmha's boya ovcr- aito about 148 ixnmds , while their opponents wpro at least llftnen pounds heavier. Without a doubt the Ashlands put up a great game and would do credit to a town of four or 11 vo times the population. The elevens lined upas follows : Omnha. Position. Ashland.

They opened up with a brilliant checker board Iilay , going about ton yards. This was fol- owert by good playa of Williams and Gilbert as halves und Brush at the end. At the end of four minutes Ashland made'a touchdown ind goat Omaha started with a whirling V , but failed to make nny headwayand'lost the ball on downs. Asliiund thun followed up with good plays , mi i at the end of the first half there were twenty-eight points to her credit. The second liulf opened up with Omaha's N , and they tried hard , but failed to land in Aihland's territory. They soon lost the ball on downs , and as soon as Ashland got the ball it went sailing toward Omaha ground. Omaha lined up again and again , but Ashland was too much. Exceptionally good plays were made by Brush and Shodd as ends , Gilbert and Williams as halves , and Fields as full back of Ashland , and Purvis and Young at halves , and Gardener us full back of Omnha. The game ended at half-past 4. and the score 02 to 0 in Ashlnnd's favor. The umpire and ref eree were Mains of Crete and Pickering of Oinalm. Tiicro was a marked fairness in the decisions of the Judges. It wus very much a surprise to Ashland as well as Omaha that Omaha should bo beaten so badly. Ashland bids fair to win the pennant la the Intcrscholastio league. Lincoln , S0 | I'lnttimoutli , 6. PLATTSMOUTII , Nob. , Oct. 28.

It wns a close and hard fought buttle , the victory going to the Lin coln boys cliielly on account of their superior team work. In the first half Plattsmouth got the ball and the toss up for choice , but It soon went to Lincoln , who made a touch down on a splendid run. Goal was kicked and in n few moments Lincoln had another touchdown , running their score up to 10. Tills cndca the scoring in the first half , the rest of the play being cloiely contested , al though Pluttamouth had the ball in Lin coln's territory most of the timo.

[ Special Tele gram to Tim BEE. ] A disputed decision Is all that stoo I between Nebraska and a bril liant victory In this afternoon's foot ball match between the State university cloven and tbo team from the Biker university of Kansas. Buforo the game commenced thu money of the enthusiastic Lincoln sports wns simply put up against the wager that the husky Bakers would not allow the Nebraska boys to scoro. The Bakers wore sanguine- and they boasted freely that the Nebraskaelevenwouldn't even bo In it. The State university bovs allowed Toomey , the full back of Baker's team , to umpire the game. They now claim that if this had not been done the clmmpkm- snip noiu ny me Kansas men against the Kansas und Missouri elevens would hnvo been wrested from them. As it wns the li'i score resulted in n tie , 10 to 10. Ik In the first half Baker made ono touch down. After the ball had changed hands several times , Heller , Baker's right half , made a run of sixty yards around tho. loft end , scoring a toucn down. The Nebraska team then started with the double H.vlne wcdgo or checkerboard play , and made twelve yards. Then Flippen made twenty- throe on n run. The Nebraska team then lost the ball , but soon regained U. and by steady work niuuo u touch down. Crawford inlssed nn easy goal , and tlio first half ended with Uukpr two points ahead , the score standing (1 ( to 4. In the second half Nebraska made a touch down and coal nnd Bnker n touch down. Nebraska had the ball within two feotot another touch down , hut the umpire gave it to Baker on an impossible foul.

Pennsylvania , by defeating Princeton last year nnd bv the game played against Yale , demonstrated the fact that no reckoning up on the championship this year can bo sound unless the Philadelphia team is taken into account , und the arrangement of a final Thanksgiving day game with Harvard makes a foot ball gala day for them of little loss note than that of Now York. . A number of Princetons , namely , liing Ward , Holley anil Taylor , have been on the sick list lately ; but ft Is thought they have recovered sufllclcntly to take part In the doy'i contest. Attitude of the Cotlefire Faculties. A meeting of the representatives of Y. lo and Columbia nnd these of Princeton has been hold to discuss the plan of changing in the future the Thanksgiving game from Manhattan field to the Columoln oval at Williams Bridge. For several years past there has bcon a growing dislike to the Hold by the' players themselves. But the main reason for the change Is the objection offered by the faculties of Yale and Prince ton. The latter have been regarding with Increasing disfavor each year the manner in which the game has been degenerating from true sport to n mere financial schomo. The squabbles over the entrance receipts which have become so uubllo have also annoyed them to a great extent. They pro pose to put the game on a nioro thoroughly college basis , or else stop the team from playing in Now York at nil , According to the decree of the faculties , the tickets must bo controlled exclusively by the University Athletic club , or theio is no gamo. This is the first move , and removes ono of the ob- Jcctlonal features. Then thcro was a move not only on the part of the members of the faculties of Yale and Princeton , but also by many of the alumni of these institutions , to have the game played on some college ground , thus giving a inoro college tone to the whole af fair. Obviously , Columbia oval , the ath letic grounds at Williams Bridge present the best facilities. To this end private negotia tions have been coin ? on for some months past , but on Wednesday night the first meet ing was hold. It will bo impossible to get the grounds ready and in lit condition for this year , but in the future the great game will bo played on Columbia's grounds. Snap for the Tlgor * . NEW YOKE , Oct. 28.

To the Sporting Editor of TIIK liH.r. : Now that the racing season Is over It Is Interesting to look back ever the records of the year und sec what has bcon done und then to compare , them with previ ous years.

Those forty-two horses have traveled , this year 120 heats of 2:10 : or bettor. Six of thesoforty- tw6 horses have traveled flft.v-flvo of the 120 heats.

The , front'of his shir was soaked in blood ( which welled rapidly from two holes , ono ] ust above the heart , the other in tils abdomen. "It's through the heart , " said the mayor again , his voice now scarcely above a whis per. A moment later ho sunk into uncon sciousness nnd in twenty minutes after ro coivlng the wounds Mr. Harrison was dead When young Mr. .Harrison' . came running down stairs to learn the cause of the shoot- inir ho passed a biirglur alarm. Ho reached out his hand and turned in an alarm and oven before he had .reachetl his father's side a patrol wagon filled with ofllccrs from Lake street statioii , a third of a mlle dis tunt , wus dashing tovards the mayor's homo. By the time tlio pfllcers had arrived all traces of the murderer had been lost and oven before the mayor had breathed his last oillccrs from every station In the city were on the outlook for a small , smooth-shaven man , 25 years of ago. Every possible effort was made to secure medical attendance for Mr. Harrison , but when Dr. LIman , the first physician to ar- rlvo at the house , reached the mayor's side ho was a dead man. Drs. Thomas 1C. Foster and Wasburn followed in quick succession , but they worn unable to do anything , and soon loft the house. Surrenilur ot llio Murderer. About twonty-Avu minutes after the shoot ing Sergeant Frank McDonald was standing in the olUco of the Dosplalnos street station. Every available olllcer had already been hurried out to work on the case , and Ser geant McDonald , wha had Just como in from other work , was preparing to follow. The door was pushed gently open and in walked a small , smooth-shaven man , poorly dressed , nnd currying a revolver In .his hand. Ho shook llko a man with the palsy , his face WHS white and drawn , great drops of per- splrution chased each other down his face , and ills totterincr limbs seemed scarcely able to hold him upright. Ho walked up to McDonald , who Is a powerful fellow , six feet tall , and looking him straight in the eyes , said : "I did it. " "You did it ? " asked McDonald. "Yes , I did U. " "Did what ? " sauKtho ofllcor as ho laid ono hand on the fellow's shoulder and v/ltlt the other quietly took the revolver.

" > > Ttiat was all thoro-was about it , nothing dramatic , no bravado. Ho spoke of his crime as though it was nothing out of the ordinary and a matter entirely to bo expected , IIo was trembling so ho could scarcely aland aud the ofllcers led him to a chair and asked a few more questions , to which I'ren- dergast had but ono reply ; "Ho Bald he would , inako mo corporation counsel. IIo did n6iraml I inot him , I meant to alaoot him and I went there to do It. " Ho said that afcor leaving the Harrison bouse ho had taken a strdpt car and started toward DCS Pialnes street station with the object of giving' himself up , "Tho car did not go very fast , " he said , "or I would have been hero sooner. " As the station where ho gave himself up U Just four blocks over ono mlle from the Harrison residence , he scarcely had time to do otherwise than he said. Wild SCOIIDI UeCura the btatiou. The cell door had hardly clanged shut behind the imurdeier when excited crowds began to gather about the Dc 1'laluos street tatlon. Patrol wagons rattled up to tha > lace , tholr bells clanging ns the officers umpod from their scats nnd rushed Into the tatlon. Cabs'and carriages came by the score and their occupants crowded nnd pushed heir way up llio stops and into the otllco. Personal friends of the dead mayor , city ofllclals nnd the curious crowded ever nnd igninit each other in n , wild endeavor to earn if the story of the shooting was truo. An immense throng gathered on the side- valks nnd in Ilia street * about the place. Laboring men going to thnlr homes swung off the cars as they reached the croxvd , and when the cause of the disturbance Oceania mown , added tholr voices to the subdued threats of vengeance , for Mr. Harrison was > oiulnr with the masses. The streets were soon Illlcd for blocks , nnd the officers , ns tliij.v looked out of the station windows upon the surging sea of angry faces , became nlurmod for the safety of the prison , A hasty conference was held nnd it wni dedMed to move Prcndorgnst lo the cen tral station In the c\ty \ hall. The trembling prisoner was led between stalwart officers to n rear door and hurrlod nway 111 the dark ness , Cuino with Shock to thn City. Meantime tidings of the murder had swept llko nn oloctrio shock through the city. The telephone wires fairly burned with scrvlco as Inquiries and confirmations flow over the circuits. City ofllclals , politicians and busi ness men dropped their evening papers as the startling news came to tholr homes and hurried to the center of the city to 9u-c.ll tno crowds that clustered about the central station. Bulletins wcro posted In prominent down town places and about them crowded the throngs. Newspaper offices were besieged by eager questioners and down town business wus for u time nt n standstill. Before the prisoner hud' reached the city hall , news of his coming had been communicated to the crowds about the street and the plnco was surrounded. The murderer was rushed through the throng into the dark courtyard and. hurried through a private entrance Into Cblof of Detectives Shea's office. The doors were barred , offi cers oven hurried from adjacent stations to guard the windows , doors and. corridors. A few detectives and pollco officers worocalled Into the chief's office and the examination of Prondorgust began. PnUled with F ar. The prisoner , as soon as ho had reached the office , sank exhausted into a chair , his head fell back and his livid face and staring eyes presented a ghastly picture. Ho is a slender man , perhaps 24 years old , with beardless and cadaverous face , and n stupid , almost idiotic expression. His attlro was that of a laboring man nnd not even cleanly. For a time the man refused to answer any questions. In a scarcely audlblo voice , ho said : "I'm sick , I'm sick. " Chief Shea at length reached over , placed his finger on the man's wrist and told him it was a doctor who questioned him. "Why did you kill the mayor ? " asked the chief. "Well , " the man responded feebly , "ho told mo he would make mo corporation coun sel and ho d'id not do It , so I shot him. I went to his door nnd rang aud I went In and shot him. I Just shot him , that's all , I shot him. " "What Is your name ? " uskcd thodetoc- tivo. "Prcndergust , Patrick Eugene , or Euceno Patrick , it makes no difference which. The last name is Patrick. " "Where do you llvo ? " "I don't know , don't know where. Around hero somewhere , I guess , " and the man raised his head to make his answer moro emphatic , ' 'b'utT don't live at the rallroa'd tracks , I toll you that , " and no amount of In quiry could induce him to give his place of residence. Ills Stupid AnnworK. Chief Shea asltcd him if lie hud ever been a lawyer and Prcndergast responded ho did not know. 'Then why did you expect -to bo made corporation counsel ? " asked the officer. "The mayor promised mo , that's all , " was the answer. In attempting tolcarn , the man's means of livelihood the officers experienced great dif ficulty. His replies were incoherent and rambling , but at last the examiners became convinced that ho hud been a newspaper carrfer , whoso route was along Ashland boulevard and In the vicinity of tlio mayor's tome. For several hours tlio examination was continued , but nothing of importance wus developed. Other witnesses wcro examined , Including the scruants in Mr. Harrison's liouso at the time of the shooting and people who had arrived soon after the murder. The prisoner was finally placed in a cell under the city hall and additional policemen stationed about the building for the nlaht's vigil. All night long crowds came and went about the place. A blttor fooling against the murderer was manifested. Significant but subdued remarks about convenient lamp posts and swift revenge were frequently liourd. At ono time during the evening as a car riage drove rapidly down the strooc a young man pointoi his umbrella at thu vehicle and shouted : "There ho goes I" There was uu Immodlato rush for the re treating carriage , but some ono shouted that Prcndcrgast wus still in the chief's office und the crowd stopped and begun looking for llio man with the umbrella , An officer , howoyer , hud rushed the man away and ho wus apparently glad to escape. iStorlc * oT tlio I'lr.it Arrivals. W. J , Moran of 012 Jackson boulevard and E. R. Robinson , a young medical student , were passing the houao just us the shots wore being fired , They rushed through the door a second , after Mr , Chalmers had en tered , "Wo hurried Into the dining room a quickly us wo could , " said Mr , Moran , "but wo were uuablo to do anything more than help raise Mr , Harrison onto a couch. Wo did not think ho was badly hurt ut first , and when the little gentleman ( Mr. Chalmers ) said ho thought ho would got ever It , the .mayor said : " -No , my heart is hurt and I am a dead man. I can feel the , blood flowing inside and I cannot last long.1 "Wo did what wo could for him , but ho sank rapidly and in a few minutes was dead.1' ' "Tho whole thing was so quickly dose , " said Mr. Chalmers lute tonight , "that I really don't know a thlnir about it. I was standing at my steps when I hoard the shooting , and about the next thing I know I was In the house and helping young Mr. HarrUon to care for his father , I expressed to Mr. Harrison the hope that ho was not badly wounded , but ho said : 'I urn a dead mun ; I have got it through the heart. ' Ho repeated this several times nnd sank so rap idly wo know there was no hope for him. He simply bled to death , and passed away o quickly It was utterly impossible to help him. I.niiclifxf at Their Warulngi , "The family , of course , is utterly pros trated and they know nothing about the mutter in uny way , Young Mr , Harrison told mo ho was up stairs , and when ho hoard the shooting ho started to run down italri > .

IJo was too easy iu people in to see him , cranks and everybody. 1 and the other monibars of the family often told him to bo careful , but ho only laughed. ' "After wo had carried Mr. Harrison to tholcouch. " continued Mr. Chalmers , "ho spoke once or twice , saving It was useless to try tc prolong his llfo , and the last words ho said , ns nearly ns I can remember , were : "Glvo mo water ; send for Annlo ; Rlvo mo water.

I laughed nnd told him I was ready to quit at any time , nnd if ho would lot mo know when ho re ceived the appointment I would gladly lot him have the place. The man was so palpably out of his mind that I did not consider It worth while to talk seriously with him. I spoke to the mayor nt ono time about It nnd ho sain ho had received threatening letters from the follow , but paid no attention to him , ns the man was Insane and thcro was no use both ering with him. I never thought of the mat ter again until I received two postal cards from the fellow a few days ago. They were both written In rod Ink and gave mo the Information - formation that ho was ready to have mo re sign und stop Into my position. I alwavs know Prondergast was insane , but I never thought bo-would do such nn awful thing ns this. " Mr. Kraus was well nigh inconsolable over the mayor's death. When the news reached him that the mayor was dead ho was In his carriage going to a hall. Ho at once ordered his coachman to drive back to his homo , whore ho removed his dress suit and then hurried over to Mr. Harrison's residence , arriving there a short time after the mayor's death. \Vlmt tha Conclitnan Snvr. Peter Reiclioiso , Mayor Harrison's private coachman , made an effort to kill Prcndergast. " \ \ hsn I entered the house through a rear door , " ho said , "I commenced taking oft my overcoat. Suddenly I hoard three shots fired very rapidly , ono after the other , nnd I hastened at once to the front of the house. As I stepped Into the hall I saw the man walking towa.id the front door with his revolver in his bund. 1 did not see Mr. Harrison , for ho had by that time entered the dining room again. I drew iny revolver and fired four shots nt the man. , I vras so excited that my hand was unsteady , nnd although only a short distance separated us none of the shots took effect. The man fired ono shot at mo nnd then turned nnd started to run. I shouted to him to stop and also called the pollco. As he ran up Ashland avenue ho turned cast on Adnms street.
