The Subscript ion For the Widow of Ex-Governor Chose Completed.

Special to The Indianapolis News.

Wabash, Ind., October 7.-A. M. Atkinson, trustee of the Chase Memorial Fund, speaking of the Chase Memorial Fund which was raised for the benefit of Mrs. Cha*e, who was left in dependent clrcutn•tanoss by the death of the ex-Governor, 'It was the purpose of the promoters of thla enterprise to purchase a home for Mrs. Chase, and so far aa possible make provision for her future support In a manner somewhat suitable to her station In life. We have accomplished the first object, and hope in a good degree to accomplish

the remainder of our purpose.

"I have now received in cash 12,163, besides which there are a fev/ unpaid pledgee. On account of the generous invitation of the Christian church, the G. A- R. and the Wonsan’s Relief Corps, Mrs, CbtMse decided to make Wabash, her future home. A house has been purchased, costing with needed Improvements 12,100. .“It Is worthy of note, that the patriotic citizen* of Wabash have contributed 25 per cent, of the whole Amount thus far received; which would -certainly indicate • mat Mrs. Chase made no mistake In choosing Wabash as the place for her future residence. You will observe that the offerings to the memorial come from a very wide scope of country, many of the gifts coming from persons not of tha same fehgiouf or political opinions espoused by “I have watched>, the growth of- the memorial with Intense Interest, and have at no time doubted Its success. I sincerely trust ihat the publication of these will inspire additional hrtorest In the memorial, and that many patriotic citizens who are now considering the matter, will yet decide to contribute to Its further success, no as to enlarge the present income of Mr*. Chasw which is yet below her suitable support.”

’ The McLeod-Comiitoyk Hatch. At English’s Opera House, Friday night. Daft McLeod and Jack Comstock, of Michigan, will wrestle. McLeod is well known here, but he has never yet been really forced to show what he could dq. His first match in this city was his handicap with Herb -Hale, which he won with such ease as to surprise those who saw if. He defeated Baptiste, of St. Louis, a larger man than himself, winning three falls In less than twenty-five minute*. His easy defeat of Wlttmer showed that weight had no terrors for the San Fran.cisco wrestler. McLeod ha* a claim to the world’s championship . at catch-as-catcb-can wrestling, as he has twice had his money posted for a match w'.th “Farmer” Burns, and it has been ignored. Comstock Is a heavyweight wrestler, who has made eateh-as-catcn-can stvle a study. He wrestles no other way. Three years ago he threw “Farmer” Burns, but has since been thrown by him. He has defeated many good men. He is s’.x feet tall and broad In proportion. A He has been wrestling for many years, and has only been defeated thrice. Comstock is forty pounds heavier than McLeod, and with this exception the match is an even one. It Is to be the best two out of three fall*, and both contestants have put up money on the result. The match is for a side bet and a purse of *509. put up by Dickson & Talbott. There has been a slight difference over the question of referee. McLeod wants some Indianapolis man and Comstock wehts a man from Cincinnati. The matter will probably be left to the guarantors of the purse. Both men are in training for the match. Local Foot-Ball Game*. The Butler boys went to Notolesville today for their first practice game of football. Ap eleven there of stalwart fellows PURE, HARMLESS, SATISFYING

The quarter-mile run was probably the most interesting event of the day. Lewin and Fitzherbert were the Cambridge entries, and Richards and Wade started for Yale. Lswin took the lead at the start, but in the stretch Richards all but passed him, and the finish was so close that many thought it a dead heat. The judges, however, decided in favor of Lewin. His time was 49 4-5 seconds. Richards waa second and Fitzherbert third. Hickok won the 16-pound-hammer-throw event with a throw of 130 feet and 7 Inches.

A Foot-Ball Fight.

Evanston, III., October 7.—During the 1 foot-ball game between Northwestern. Uni- ! verslty and BeloiL Saturday, just after t Northwestern had made an advance with the ball. Thorn, the left guard of the i university team, ran around the line to ; where Baker, the Beloit half-back, was j standing, and deliberately struck h m in the face, breaking his nos* and flooring him like a log. Thorn then ran back to hi* position in tlje line and was Instantly surrounded by the members of the Beloit team. The students of both colleges swarmed into the field. Thorn was disqualified and Baker taken to his: hotel.
