The Dates College Foot Ball team played
a game of foot ball yesterday afternoon out
at the Y. M. C. A. park with the Christian
eleven nnd was defeated by thu score of
82 to 0. The. two teams were very evenly
matched as to weight , but , the home team
had far the better of It In skill and knowl
edge of the B n > c , and the work of their
backs was superior to those of the visitors.
After the line of the Y. M. C. A. team
got down to work they were much better
In both blocking and offensive play , while
the Gates line had several weak spots , es
pecially between center and left guard.
During the early part of the first hnlt
ceveral Gates men broke through and
made tackles behind the line , but they
could do so rarely after that , and they
were somewhat weak In breaking up Inter-
Ku.ne , on the whole , was n very fair
one. and , what Is of as great Importance , It
was a very clean one. There was no un-
ecemly squabbling , as has occurred very
often. The Uates boys appeared to be gen
tlemen , every one of them , and played a
gentlemanly gamp , and the same must be
laid of the Christians. The captains did
all the talking and there was very little
kicking against the decisions of the ofll-
claln. Thcrt was no fouling. It was the
Illnd of a game B. foot ball enthusiast likes
to see : A hard game , for the Gates boy *
made Omaha work hard , despite the score ,
nnd ono that was not disgraced by un-
tcemly acts and language.
WOltK OF THE PLAYEKS.
Gardner played In 'varsity shape. With
the coaching tn be received at n larger
- v. school he will make a very good back.
His running Is hard nnd fast and he Is a
Very hard runner to down. Ills dodging Is
rood and he finds nnd enters nn opening
in true 'vurslty style. Whatever faults one
could nnd In his following of Interference
end line bucking- will n ed only experience
and practice to eradicate. For some ren-
eon his kicking yesterday was not good.
Uurdlck makes the other of n very good
pair nnd he also played n good game yes
terday. Von Camp wns Blow to Jlnd a hole
and he did not follow his Interference.
When he got started , however , he made
some very good runs , one In particular of
sixty-five yanls. The backs on the other
Bide had a hard line to buck airalnst and
could make only small gains. The work
of the quarter was good. He tackled well
and got his man frequently behind the line.
Of Ihe line men Waltemeler did the best
work , breaking through often and. getting
hla man , nnd It was very rarely that the
runner could get pass him on either side.
Coleman also played an excellent game nt
tackle , both in blocking nnd setting
through , and when lie Rot the ball he- ran
very hard , but hardly low enough , and
always made good gains. Ho mnde one

KANSAS CITY , Oct. 27.-Champlon Cor-
bett , In answering a telegram from W. A.
Brady announcing- that Peter Maher , the
Irish champion , had posted n forfeit of T500
In New York for a match with Steve O'Don-
nel , the big- Australian , for a battle for
12,500 or J10.000 a side , wired Brady that
Htevc was willing to match. He wants It
to take place about the same time the Fttz-
slmmons-Corbett fight comes oft. Corbett
added he would write full particulars as to
the side bet In time for the- light to Muhcr.
Corbett Is satisfied O'Donnel can whip
Maher , but regards the latter as a danger
ous antagonist , as evidenced by the big
Irishman staggering Fltzslmmons In their
fight at New Orleans. O'Donnel. he thinks ,
Is cleverer by far than Maher , and Is a coolheaded -
headed lighter , ns well as a scientific boxer ,
nnd would outgeneral Maher in a finish
fight.

considered nt this time , until It wns
demonstrated the fight could not be pulled
oft successfully in Florida , and It was un-
business like to figure on a match else
where vet.
Sneaking- the klnetoscope , he said that
while it was a great Invention , two men
battling for theworld's championship would
not have In mind the benefits to accrue to
the Inventor when they met In the ring.
The scheme , he said , was impracticable.

SEATTLE , Wash , , Oct. 27. Sixteen per
sons ten men. three women and three chil
dren were burned to death In the \Vc t
Street hotel early this morning , The bodies
thus far Identified are : '
K. IIOLMAN.
M. M'SOHLEY. '
ANUUS M'DONALD.
C. WILSON.
ANDEIISON.
ANDREW OTTEHSON.
MRS. OTTEUSON , Andrew's mother.
MRS. HUFFMAN AND LITTLE SON
AND DAUGHTER.
MRS. J. 11. HANCOCK of Holfe , la. , and
her tliree children , two girls , aged C and 2
years , and a boy , aged 4.
C. QltAllN , a laborer.
The bodies of four men. one woman and
ono child are unidentified. All were eo
badly burned that recognition Is almost Im
possible. The West Street house occupied
the upper floor of a two-story corrugated
Iron building that covers a quarter of a
block of ground nt Columbia and West
streets , one block from ihc Northern Pacific
depot and near the business center of the
city. The building was a mere shell * of
wood , covered with Iron , There were sev
eral exits to the streets , but they were nar
row. the halls were narrow nnd the rooms
small. A wholesale business house occu
pied the ground floor. The hotel being mar
the depot , and a cheap but reputable' hnuse ,
was much patronized by country iipoplo.
The flre was undoubtedly caused by the ex
plosion of a lamp In the kitchen In the rear
of the house. The proprietor's ' son was
aroused by the nolso about 1 o'clock , but be
fore he could Investigate the flames seemed
to have spread all through the- house , The
corrugated Iron sheeting kept the flames hid
until nearly the whole Interior was a furnace.
The thin partitions , were of resinous pine
covered with cheesecloth , and burned
furiously. It was not until the flames were
seen burning In the windows by people in
the streets that an alarm of flre was turned
In by a policeman. When tlie flrcmen. sr-
rlved the flre did not present an alarming
aspect. The people at the windows \n-ro
rescued with ladders and boards , some ts-
caplne with hardly any clothes. A woman
who was carried down by a fireman screamed
out that her baby was In the building and 11
fireman wnnt up a ladder and brought It
down. D. D. Glass , Edward Havlln and
C. D. Johnson lumped to the ground and
were Injured BO biclly that they were tiilien
to a hospital. All will recover. The
crowd In the street then supposed that the
lodgers had all escaped. ,
QUESTS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ESCAPED ,
The firemen played water through the windows
dews and were rcldorced by the flre boat
the building being only a short distance from
the water front. At 2 : 5 o'clock a. m. the
flre was under control and the firemen were
able to enter the shell of Iron. At the- head
of the stairs at the West stree. entrance they
found tlie body of a man pinned to the floor
by the ruins of a bed. He had apparently
just heard the alarm and was dressing when
overcome by the smoke and ; suffocated , for
the only clothitiE lie had' ' on were his trousers
and boots. He was carried1 to the foot 'of the
stairs by the firemen arid taken to the North
ern Pacific depot , wrapped In a comforter.
The body wasi horribly burned. Continuing
their search , the firemen discovered corpse
, after corpse , until atI o'clock they had
counted fifteen. Subsequently another wns
found.
Most of the bodies were left where they
lay until daylight , In the hope that the pro
prietor might Identify them by locating the
rooms on the register , for nil the bodies ex
cept two were charred beyond a possibility ol
recognition. Ono poor fellow was caught In
the rush of the , conflagration near the top
of the West street stairway and sunk down
overcome- with the smoke nnd flames. The
firemen fought to keep the flre away from his
body , but were driven back. In one of the
hallways n body , charred black and without
a vestige of clothing , was found , A little
farther on In the same passageway was an
other body , evidently that of a woman , face
upwards and hands outstretched as If fight
ing for her life and appealing for assistance
which never came. There was little loft o
the woman's form , for part of the body was
charred and the burned bones lay around It
In another hall or passageway wns anothei
body. It was evidently that of an agec
woman. Her body was fearfully contortec
and her face was upward and the form prc
ser.ted was that ot one who had died In the
most violent anony. The burned arms am
hands were uplifted , and In one blackenei
hand was a handful ot hair , as If she. In her
agony , had clutched It In de-spalr when th
flro came upon her.
SADDEST SIGHT OF ALL.
The saddest sight of all was found In an
inside room off the passage which led to
West street. There , calmly lying In a
charred and blackened bed , was evidently an
entire family. Thr ; father lay on one eldo
the wife next to him , and n little burned am
blackened arm , the flesh falling In shreds
from it , the small fingers clutched , showei
that a little child was among the victims
In an adjoining room was a still more horrl
ble sight. In a corner of a small' Inside room
two charred and naked skeletons met th
gaze. The- flesh was burned from each , am
the first , that of a man , with blackened
stumps of arms , seemed to be fighting an
Impending danger. Immediately beyond him
also boldly upright and clutching his waist
was the skeleton of a woman. Startled
they had risen from tlrolr couch , the smok
and flames had rushed In upon them , am
before they had realized their awful danger
they were overpowered and mcl the most
horribleof deaths. In a portion of a hotel
where the flames did not destroy the wood
work , the bodies of two more were found.
One man was completely dressed and the
other was In his night clothes. They were
suffocated by smoke. In ona of the ruined
rooms at the end of oj orjow hall under n
broken window , where oiio man was found
dead. Is a whlto streak 'ttn the wall un
touched by flre , untarnlslfeti by smoke , kept
thus by the upraised ! arm of this victim ,
. where an arm rested against the wall , when ,
In a last strugglehe , .reached . upward 'for
help in Jls awful agony. In tlio corner of a
room where the upper-parts of the walls are
burned away Is an untainted epot upon the
floor and on both the torn'tr walls. In that
place , against the wall , , tfit a wife , dead , her
arms about the walht Af.hcr dead husband ,
who sat before her onheL floor , his feet and
arms burned off , his efts''turned out and her
hamla burned off. In a'h'oufijr room Is a long
unbumed spot , the snap ? of a man , where
one was found dressefl 'apd dead , with his
face badly burned , c
The bodies were taken tc the morgue this
morning In boxes or carlvJs sacks. Moat
ot the bodies werewrfcppVd In stained and
dirty bed aJothlng fronxithe store rooms of the
burned hotel. Some of them were so badly
burned that only the wrappings held the
body and trunk from falling asunder. As
the rigor of death had long before set In , It
wag almost Impossible to straighten out the
distorted limbs of some of the dead. One
corpse , that of a man whoso head was
burned entirely oft , was bowed up almost as
If tied In a knot. He had died on his hunds
and knees , with hU face burled In the bed
clothes. The bodies of two ot the littles girls
were naked and were- distorted Into stapes
hardly human , Their little bands and feet
were entirely consumed , and only the ends of
charred bones of legs and anus remained.
The arrangement of the halts ot the hotel
made mcli a labyrinth that in the day time
one unfamiliar with the plane would have
hid difficulty la finding his way about with
out several attempts , and at Ilia halls were
filled with smoke there was little chance
for any of them to grfcpe thslr way out before
foresuffocating. . Someof I ho lodgers WITC

PHILADELPHIA , Oct. 27. Something of a
sensation was created among wholesale gro
cers of this city by the action of the largo
wholesale firm of Trimble , Sides & Co. In
cutting Bugar prices one-third of 1 cent by
selling 1,000 barrels of granulated Eiigar at
414 cents per pound , less the refiners rebate ,
which Is three-sixteenths of 1 cent on 100-
barrel lots , with an additional trade discount
of 1 per cent for cash. There la an agree
ment among the Wholesale Grocers and
Importers exchange not to undersell the
rates quoted by the refiners. .When the
news of the action of Trimble , Sides. & Co.
leaked out considerable feeling was mani
fested. Some of the prominent members
of the exchange claimed It would break up
tbo organization. It la said in Chicago ,
Detroit and one or two other western c.tles
that granulated sugar , which costs 4 cents per
paunJ , plus the freight charges , had been
selling at I'/i cents. A member of the firm
Involved says there Is no cause for bad feelIng -
Ing In the matter an the sugar sold was stock
his firm had bought eome time ago when
refiners were telling at 1 cents , and he made
the sales to well known jobbers In 100-barrel
lots at 1 % rents , with the usual discount
and an agreement that they would not sell
at less than the regular charges made to
the wholesale grocers by the refiners. Ho
anticipated a drop by Monday to I'.i cents
and concluded to make a profit.
