The Reds would suffer a big blow, as outfielder Bug Holliday would have an appendectomy and would miss most of the season recovering. Cincinnati signed outfielder Dusty Miller, who last played in the majors with the St. Louis Browns in 1890. The Reds also acquired Billy Rhines, who previously pitched with the team from 1890–1892 before playing with the Louisville Colonels in 1893.

1895 Copenhagen Women's Exhibition
The Women's Exhibition from the Past and Present (Danish: Kvindernes Udstilling fra Fortid og Nutid) held in Copenhagen in 1895 was an art and culture exhibition for women from the Nordic countries. Inspired by the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, it was designed to demonstrate how far Nordic women had advanced in the areas of education, employment and art. The first of its kind in Europe, it was considered a great success.


1895 Copenhagen Women's Exhibition, Background
The Chicago World's Fair in 1893 had impressed Danish visitors with its Woman's Building containing presentations of art and literature. Sophie Oxholm (1848–1935), who had visited the exhibition, was obviously impressed by the exhibition, especially the show of Danish needlework. On her return to Denmark, she immediately brought a number of influential women together with a view to arranging a Nordic women's exhibition in Copenhagen the following year. Despite initial enthusiasm, as a result of budgetary and management problems, it was announced in February 1894 that the exhibition would not be held until 1895.


1895 Copenhagen Women's Exhibition, Background
Oxholm, who experienced difficulty in managing the arrangements, gave up her position as head of the coordinating committee in early 1895. She was replaced by Bertha Buch of the Women's Society but it was Emma Gad (1852–1921) who proved to be the most effective member. Appointed deputy chair, Gad managed to complete all the arrangements on time. These included selecting the site of the exhibition which was ultimately shared between the Industrial Association building (Industriforeningen), which had been built in connection with the 1872 Nordic Exhibition, and the premises of Den Frie Udstilling. It was therefore possible for the exhibition to open on 22 June 1895 in the presence of Queen Louise.


1895 Copenhagen Women's Exhibition, Exhibition
In addition to exhibits from Denmark, the exhibition contained areas specifically dedicated to the Danish provinces and overseas territories (Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland and Danish West Indies) as well as to Norway and Sweden. There are records of the 2,415 exhibits covering painting, curiosities (including items associated with celebrated women), arts and crafts, costumes, jewellery (including gold- and silverware), literature (manuscripts, journals and books) and appliances. There were also separate listings of exhibits relating to housekeeping, philanthropy, hygiene, education, household crafts (spinning and weaving, leather, wood, embroidery, silk painting, and whitework), music and art.


1895 Copenhagen Women's Exhibition, Exhibition
For the Den Frie Udstilling building, there was a separate inventory of 301 artworks, paintings and sculptures, listed by artist.


1895 Copenhagen Women's Exhibition, Key organizers
The two women who were instrumental in organizing the exhibition were Sophie Oxholm and, above all, Emma Gad.


1895 Copenhagen Women's Exhibition, Outcome
The Women's Exhibition was a great success. Not only was it appreciated in Denmark and beyond, it made a substantial profit. Gad had hoped the money could be used for an independent "Women's Building" (Kvindernes Bygning) with a meeting room, reading room, restaurant and accommodation for women from the provinces. Work did not begin on the building until 1929. It was completed in 1937.


1895 Copenhagen Women's Exhibition, Exhibitors
Works by the following artists were included in the Women's Exhibition:

1895 Crescent Athletic Club football team
Crescent was scheduled to play the Orange Athletic Club for the AFU championship on November 16, but Orange objected to Phil King playing for the Crescents on grounds that he had previously been paid to coach for Princeton and was therefore not an amateur. The Crescents denied the Orange contention that King was disqualified under the AFU rules. The Orange club scheduled a game with Yale on the day that had been set with the Crescents. On the date set for the game, the Crescents appeared on the field without an opponent, ran one play for a touchdown, and claimed a disputed UFA championship.

The team went 7–5–1, which included a 2–0 record against Triangular Football League opponents. The season began with a 50–0 shutout of Phillips Exeter Academy, which was followed by a close game with Harvard. The match was hard-fought; Harvard won by a slim 4–0 margin, the closest that a Dartmouth team had gotten to beating Harvard.


1895 Dartmouth football team
The squad then played three smaller colleges, winning two of the games and tying the other. The team then went back-and-forth between losing and winning, falling twice to Yale and once to West Point, but defeating MIT and Boston. Conference opponents Williams and Amherst were defeated by a combined score of 30–5, and the team was awarded its third straight Triangular Football League championship. The season ended on a negative note, however, with a close 10–4 loss to Brown.


1895 Dominican Republic arbitration referendum
A four-part referendum on arbitration over a border dispute with Haiti was held in the Dominican Republic on 2 June 1895. Voters were asked whether an arbitration tribunal should be established, whether Pope Leo XIII would be an appropriate arbitrator, what compensation Haiti should receive if the outcome was favourable to the Dominican Republic, and whether the government should comply with the tribunal outcome if it was unfavourable to the Dominican Republic. All four proposals were approved by voters.


1895 Dominican Republic arbitration referendum, Aftermath
As a result of the referendum, the two countries signed an arbitration agreement on 3 July 1895. However, the Vatican declined the request, noting that it was "restricted to the simple interpretation of Article 4 of the Treaty of 1874." Subsequently the countries agreed to form a mixed demarcation commission on 28 May 1899.

1895 English cricket season
1895 was the sixth season of County Championship cricket in England. It was the first season in which the official definition of first-class cricket was activated, following the 1894 ruling. Surrey won the championship for the fifth time in six years, despite increased competition, as the tournament was expanded from nine to fourteen teams. The points system was changed as the teams played differing numbers of matches and the new system involved division of the number of points gained by the number of matches that had ended in either a win or a loss. Draws were thus completely disregarded, as they gave zero points. Derbyshire was the best of the rookie teams, finishing in fifth place.


1895 English cricket season
Another championship made its bow as this season was the first to stage the Minor Counties Championship. The inaugural title was shared by three teams: Durham, Norfolk and Worcestershire.


1895 English cricket season
In the early part of the season, improved batting conditions and long spells of dry weather enabled much heavier scoring than in previous seasons. There were a number of very large scores up until mid-July, when Archie MacLaren played his famous innings of 424 for Lancashire against Somerset at Taunton. After that, rain returned and most pitches from 20 July onwards were "sticky wickets", with the result that bowlers dominated the latter part of the season. Charlie Townsend in particular was able to generate prodigious spin of the ball on these treacherous pitches and took 122 wickets in the last 11 county games. Other established bowlers like Peel, Richardson, Mold and Briggs were very difficult to bat against.


1895 English cricket season
At the age of 46 (when the season began), W. G. Grace enjoyed a remarkable career revival and was the leading run-scorer in all first-class matches, averaging over 50. He became the first player ever to score 1,000 runs during the month of May and also the first to reach the career landmark of one hundred first-class centuries.

1895 FA Cup Final
The 1895 FA Cup Final was contested by Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion at Crystal Palace. Aston Villa won 1–0, with Bob Chatt being credited with scoring the fastest goal in FA Cup Final history, scored after just 30 seconds. This record would stand for 114 years before being broken by Louis Saha of Everton in the 2009 FA Cup Final with a goal after 25 seconds.


1895 FA Cup Final, Summary
Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion became the first pair of clubs to meet in the FA Cup Final for a third time: the teams had previously met in the 1887 final, won by Villa, and the 1892 final, won by Albion. The final was played for the first time at Crystal Palace, which was to host the finals for the next twenty years. The weather for the final was described as "a beautiful spring day", and consequently the crowd and press were still coming into the ground when the game kicked off.


1895 FA Cup Final, Summary
From the kick-off, John Devey, the Villa centre-forward, swung the ball out to his inside-left, Dennis Hodgetts. Hodgetts' long cross-pass found Charlie Athersmith on the right, and his centre fell to Bob Chatt who sent the ball goalwards on a half volley. Albion's keeper Joe Reader was only able to get his fingers to the shot, and turned the ball across the goal mouth and, after a goalmouth scramble involving Devey and Albion defender Jack Horton, the ball was turned in to the net.


1895 FA Cup Final, Summary
There are no accurate timings for the goal and different reports time it at between 30 and 39 seconds. At the time, many of the crowd and press missed the goal as they were still taking their seats, and the press reports indicated that Chatt had scored. According to Ward & Griffin in their "Essential History of Aston Villa" however, "after the game, the Villa players confirmed that John Devey had netted after Chatt's shot had been blocked straight into the latter's path and had ricocheted off his knee."


1895 FA Cup Final, Summary
Despite this claim, The Football Association still credit the goal to Chatt as having been scored on thirty seconds. The fastest accurately timed goal was Louis Saha's effort for Everton after 25 seconds in the 2009 final. Despite pressure from the Albion forwards, especially from Billy Bassett, Villa were able to hold on to their lead until half-time. In the second half, Villa began to press forward again with Chatt and Devey forcing excellent saves from Joe Reader. Neither side was able to add to the score and Villa won the cup for the second time.

It was in 1895, in the first of the two games between Georgia and North Carolina, in which North Carolina completed the first recorded forward pass, even though the play was illegal at the time. According to John Heisman, the North Carolina quarterback was trying to punt the ball but, because the punt was about to be blocked, he threw the ball instead. Another North Carolina player caught the ball and scored a touchdown on a 70-yard play. Georgia coach Pop Warner complained to the referee that the play was illegal, however, the referee let the play stand because he did not see the pass.

1895 Georgia vs. North Carolina football game
The 1895 Georgia vs. North Carolina football game, played October 26, 1895, was a college football game between the Georgia Bulldogs and North Carolina Tar Heels. The game features what some claim is the first (legal or otherwise; the legal pass starts in 1906) forward pass. This was also the first season of the newly formed Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association.


1895 Georgia vs. North Carolina football game, Game notes
Bob Quincy notes in his 1973 book They Made the Bell Tower Chime:"John Heisman, a noted historian, wrote 30 years later that, indeed, the Tar Heels had given birth to the forward pass against the Bulldogs (UGA). It was conceived to break a scoreless deadlock and give UNC a 6–0 win. The Carolinians were in a punting situation and a Georgia rush seemed destined to block the ball. The punter, with an impromptu dash to his right, tossed the ball and it was caught by George Stephens, who ran 70 yards for a touchdown." The ball was thrown out of desperation by back Joel Whitaker. Georgia coach Pop Warner complained to the referee that the play was illegal, however, the referee let the play stand because he did not see the pass. Only 4 minutes of game time had passed when Stephens scored.


1895 Georgia vs. North Carolina football game, Aftermath
The teams played a second time and North Carolina won 10 to 6.

1895 Glamorgan County Council election
Glamorgan County Council had been established by the 1888 Local Government Act, and the first elections held in early 1889. The county of Glamorgan was at this time becoming heavily industrialised, although some areas such as the Vale of Glamorgan remained essentially rural. The rise of nonconformist liberalism, especially since the 1860s, throughout Wales, had challenged the prevailing influence of the landed gentry. However, even in 1889, the traditional forces remained influential and no working men were elected to the Council. This changed in 1892 with the unopposed return of David Morgan in Aberdare and the success of Isaac Evans in Resolven.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Overview of the Result
As in most parts of Wales, the Liberal Party was once again triumphant and won a majority of the seats. In 1895 there were more unopposed results than in previous elections and the Conservatives made some headway, reflecting the position in the United Kingdom as a whole where the party took power that year.

1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Retiring Aldermen
Of the eleven retiring aldermen, two were Conservatives. Following the episode in 1892 when all but two aldermen did not seek re-election, only for the Council to decide that this was a pre-requisite for election as aldermen, a larger number sought re-election. Each was re-elected, including Sir John Llewelyn at Loughor and Penderry, although he faced Liberal opposition unlike in 1889.

Those who did not seek re-election included F.L. Davis at Ferndale.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Contested Elections
There were more uncontested elections than in the previous two contests for the County Council and the vast majority of those contested were straight fights between Liberal and Conservative candidates (or in some cases Independents who were widely regarded as Conservatives). In a small number of cases, Liberals faced each other.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Aberaman
The sitting member, first elected at the 1889 election and re-elected in 1895 was opposed by Thomas Rees, landlord of the Swan Hotel, Aberaman and elected a member of the Aberdare Urban District Council at the inaugural 1894 election. The Merthyr Times opined that there was no necessity for a contest, and that the unsuccessful candidate had wasted his time and money.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Aberavon
John Morgan Smith had previously stood as an Independent, though this was commonly regarded as meaning Conservative.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Blaengwawr
The new Blaengwawr ward was created following boundary changes connected to the formation of the Aberdare Urban District Council.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Bridgend
The election was fought on party lines and covered in detail in the Glamorgan Gazette. The election was said to have attracted 'an exceptionally keen and widespread interest, not only immediately within the town boundaries, but in many an adjacent town, hamlet and village besides'. Against the tide in the county the Liberals captured Bridgend for the first time


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Caerphilly

It was reported that Thomas Davies, the sitting member, was expected to be returned unopposed, but he was opposed by Llewellyn Griffiths, overseer, and a fellow deacon at Penuel Baptist Church, Cwmavon. Davies eventually withdrew.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Cyfarthfa
The result was largely attributed to the fact that Thomas was a member of several public bodies and this was a difficult argument to counter.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Ferndale
Morgan Thomas, the sitting member, was defeated by another Liberal candidate.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Gadlys
Morgan was re-elected although heavily defeated in the Aberdare Urban District Council election a short time before.

1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Maesteg
James Barrow, the sitting member, was opposed by another Liberal candidate, Jenkin Jones, due to his voting against disestablishment at a council meeting. It was a lively election, with all workmen having a holiday, leaving the streets crowded throughout the day. On the following day, some od Barrow's supporters paraded through the locality on horseback but were attacked by women who threw buckets of water and ashes over them.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Merthyr Town
This result was attributed by the Merthyr Times to Liberal Party apathy and to publicans' support for the Conservative candidate.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Merthyr Vale
There was initially some uncertainty whether Walter Bell, who had been narrowly defeated in 1892, would oppose the sitting member.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Results, Ogmore
In this largely rural ward, J.D. Nicholl of Merthyr Mawr captured the seat, reversing the result of three years previously.

1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Election of Aldermen
In addition to the 66 councillors the council consisted of 22 county aldermen. Aldermen were elected by the council, and served a six-year term. Following the 1895 election, there were twelve Aldermanic vacancies (the additional one following the death of a sitting alderman).


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, Election of Aldermen
The following aldermen were appointed by the newly elected council. They included three miners' agents who, together with Moses Moses, elected as alderman in 1892, made four labour members on the aldermanic bench. Conversely, following the retirement of Sir William Thomas Lewis, Sir John Llewellyn was now the only Conservative among the aldermen. Lewis and another retiring alderman, the prominent Liberal, Thomas Williams of Gwaelod y Garth, received some votes (presumably from Conservative councillors) but the liberal group held to the convention that only elected councillors could be made aldermen.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, By-elections, Gadlys by-election
Following the election of David Morgan as alderman, Richard Morgan, member for Hirwaun from 1889 until 1895 was selected as Liberal candidate following a well-attended public meeting. As a result of boundary changes, Morgan had contested Llwydcoed against Rees Hopkin Rhys and had been narrowly defeated. Richard Morgan's selection was not immediately accepted and other meetings were held to promote other candidates, including Benjamin Evans. Eventually, however, Richard Morgan was comfortably elected.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, By-elections, Garw Valley by-election
Following the election of John Thomas, miners' agent, as alderman, D. Johns was elected after a contest with two other Liberal candidates, including Thomas Lewis who was also unsuccessful at the initial election.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, By-elections, Gellifaelog by-election

1895 Glamorgan County Council election, By-elections, Loughor and Penderry by-election
Following the election of Sir John Llewelyn as alderman, Samuel Thomas, defeated by Llewelyn at the original election, was now returned. His opponent had sought to succeed Llewelyn on his appointment as alderman in 1889 but was defeated on that occasion by Edward Rice Daniel. This can be considered a Liberal hold as Daniel had stood down at the original election in favour of Llewelyn.


1895 Glamorgan County Council election, By-elections, Maesteg by-election
Following the election of James Barrow as alderman, Jenkin Jones, narrowly defeated in a hotly contested initial election, was on this occasion successful.

1895 Hyde Park Athletic Association football team
The 1895 Hyde Park Athletic Association football team represented the Hyde Park Athletic Association of Hyde Park, Boston, during the 1895 college football season. The Athletics compiled a 0–3–2 record, a low point for the team after winning the suburban league championship the last two years, and were outscored 78 to 8. They would lose their silver cup to Newton Athletic Association in a three-game championship series.


1895 Hyde Park Athletic Association football team
During the season, Hyde Park AA and Newton AA played a three-game series for the honor of a silver cup that was bestowed upon the champion of the "suburban league", which had apparently disbanded the year prior, and needed to resolve the question of who would keep the silver trophy indefinitely. The cup would be given to whichever team managed to win two or more of the contests, which would turn out to be the NAA, compiling a 2–0–1 record against Hyde Park.


1895 ICA Track Cycling World Championships
The 1895 ICA Track Cycling World Championships were the World Championship for track cycling. They took place in Cologne, Germany from 17 to 19 August 1895. Four events for men were contested, two for professionals and two for amateurs.


1895 Illinois Cycling Club football team
The 1895 Illinois Cycling Club football team was an American football team that represented the Illinois Cycling Club in the 1895 college football season. The Illinois Cycling Club played the Cycling Club from Lake View for the "Chicago Cycling Club Championship" on Thanksgiving Day. The prize was a white rooster that had been traded by the two teams since at least the year prior. In 1894, Illinois Cycling Club defeated the Lake View Cycling Club to take possession of this rooster, which became their team mascot.


1895 Illinois Cycling Club football team
Lake View CC was undefeated coming into the contest, but fell to the Illinois cyclists 0 to 16 in front of a Thanksgiving crowd of 2,000, which was exactly the same as the final score for the 1894 contest. After the game, Lake View asserted that the game would not count to determine the championship, as the field was snowy and small. Illinois agreed, and the championship was split between the two teams.


1895 Illinois Cycling Club football team, Second team schedule
The Cycling Club's second team played one game, against the secondary from Irving Park on Thanksgiving.


1895 Illinois Fighting Illini football team
The 1895 Illinois Fighting Illini football team was an American football team that represented the University of Illinois during the 1895 college football season. In their first season under head coach George Huff, the Illini compiled a 4–2–1 record. Fullback Robert J. Hotchkiss was the team captain.


1895 Indiana Hoosiers football team
The 1895 Indiana Hoosiers football team was an American football team that represented Indiana University Bloomington during the 1895 college football season. Prior to 1895, Indiana had fielded a football team in seven seasons and had yet to win an intercollegiate football game. For the 1895 season, Indiana hired former Harvard quarterback and national tennis champion Robert Wrenn to coach its football team. Under Wrenn's leadership, the Indiana football team compiled a 4–3–1 record, including the university's first intercollegiate football victories, over Rose Polytechnic (8–4) and Wabash (12–10).


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team
The 1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team was an American football team that represented the Indianapolis Light Artillery in the 1895 college football season. The team had a 5–2 record and outscored its opponents 108 to 46.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team
The Artillery team had been playing since at least 1894, with contests against Purdue, Illinois, Chicago AC, and Butler on Thanksgiving. Their team manager was Robert (Bob) Navin. An October 18, 1895, article in the Indianapolis Journal asserted that the average weight of the team was 178 pounds and that the team consisted of several former collegiate football players who had finished their college days.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team
These included Mr. Loose from Oberlin College, Mr. Dyer from the Harvard freshman team, Hal Joss from Michigan University, Nelson Olin and Sam Patterson from Purdue University, Harry Olin from Annapolis (possibly the Naval Academy), Al Sommerville from Butler in 1893, and Don Scott from Illinois University. Other players were Mr. Railsback, Mr. Johnson, and the quarterback William Hall, whose only prior experience was on the local high school team.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team
As the season went on, different players came in to fill the positions of the injured. Football of the day was quite dangerous, and "season-ending" injuries were very common. By the time the team played Indiana, new players included Mr. Christian, Smithy, and Owings, and by the Noblesville game, additions of Mr. Clemens, and J. Thompson were made. The final addition was Winchester Osgood for the Notre Dame game. Osgood was a star player from Penn and had helped to coach the Indiana University in the first half of 1895 before becoming a coach and player for the team.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team
Several men on the Artillery football team combined with football players from Butler University to play the Knightstown Club on November 1, 1895, a contest they would lose 6–12 before approximately 1500 spectators. The day before the Thanksgiving day game, Nelson Olin was forbidden from playing against Butler when it was brought to light that he made numerous penalties against the Chicago AC earlier in the week. A fight broke out within the team, and some players threatened to root for Butler, detail the Artillery team's weak spots for them, or play to mess up the Artillery team.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team
At this time, their manager, Bob Navin, was sick in bed and so could not resolve the issue. Regardless, the Light Artillery won 28–0 in the most lopsided contest of the season. The contest with Butler was also, according to a November 29 article in the Indianapolis Journal, a "best two out of three" event, as, in the 1894 season, the two teams had played twice, with Indianapolis Light Artillery winning the first and Butler winning the second 6–4 on Thanksgiving Day.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Previous season
The 1894 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team was born out of a $15,000 debt on the regiment's armory, which the organization decided to gather through entertainment. After securing their first win over Butler, 10–0, on September 28, the Indianapolis Light Artillery traveled to West Lafayette to play the Purdue Boilermakers on Stuart Field. Although they lost 4–6, Purdue would go 9–1 and become IIAA state champion in the league's last year of existence. The Artillery team beat Illinois 18–14, DePauw 46–5, and Wabash 38–12, before a Thanksgiving Day rematch against Butler.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Previous season
However, another match-up between DePauw and Purdue had also been scheduled in the city for the same day and time, which angered all four parties, considering the attendance and profit for both games would essentially be split in half. Purdue argued that IIAA rules mandated they play the Thanksgiving Day game against DePauw as they were the two best teams in the league, while Butler and the ILA argued that there was no rule specifying that another match-up could not be played by another member of the IIAA on the same day as the league championship.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Previous season
With neither party willing to back down, the two games went on despite the financial losses. The ILA's game against Butler would be played at 2:30 in the afternoon at the baseball park, with reserved room coming at 50 cents a seat. The Indianapolis Light Artillery lost to the Bulldogs, 4–6, in their final game of the season. In early 1896, after a more heated argument in the IIAA's president's meeting over whether or not to allow Athletic Clubs on the schedule any longer, Purdue backed out of the league, which led to its subsequent dissolution before the 1896 season.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Post-season
William (Winchester) Osgood would not coach the Light Artillery again, as he would join the Cuban War of Independence (1895-98, part of the greater Spanish American War), and reportedly died in March 1896. Alfred H. Sommerville would also see no more time on the gridiron, as he would die at the Indianapolis gas works by scolding hot Naphtha in May 1896. On October 6, 1896, the Indianapolis Light Artillery was banned from using the name "light artillery," as only 5 or 6 of the men on the football team were actually from the regiment. The team disbanded, and reformed into the Indianapolis Athletic Association on October 10, 1896.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Games, October 19: Chicago AC
This was the first football game of the 1895 season in Indianapolis, as the city formally opened its football exhibitions. Chicago AC was considered, according to the Indianapolis Journal, one of the best teams of the west (more specifically Midwest) besides Michigan University. The contest was 50 minutes long, with two 25 minute halves. Chicago AC (Also known as Chicago Athletic Association, or C.A.A) scored all of their 16 points against the Light Artillerymen in the first half. Less than 400 people watched because of a very cold wind.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Games, October 24: Indiana
On October 23rd, the Indianapolis Light Artillery football team set out for Bloomington for their first collegiate contest of the year. Coming into the game, Indiana was 2–0, having won easy contests against the Louisville and Noblesville Athletic clubs, by scores of 36–0 and 30–0, respectively (two teams the Light Artillery would beat later in the season). The weather was cool and cloudy. The game was an hour-long, with 30-minute halves. The halftime score was 10–4, and the final was 16–8.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Games, October 24: Indiana
One of the touchdowns scored for Indiana was by player-coach William Osgood, who would go on to assist the Light Artillery in the remainder of their football season, presumably when Robert Wrenn was hired as the new head coach for Indiana. Indiana would finish with a casual 4–3–1, although they did manage to secure their first intercollegiate win since the program was established in 1887 by beating Rose Polytechnic 8–4.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Games, November 1: Knightstown Club
This unofficial match-up was played between a handful of players from Butler and Indianapolis Light Artillery against the Knightstown Club on the first day of November. Heralded as the most exciting and interesting game of football seen in Indianapolis for the 1895 season, 1500 spectators showed up for the exhibition. Knightstown scored first, going up 6–0 before they were tied 6–6 right before the half. The club would ultimately prevail though, beating the mix of college and semi-professional football players 12–6.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Games, November 2: Noblesville AC
The game was played in Indianapolis, in the same ballpark as the one against Chicago AC. Noblesville came in with at least one loss to Indiana, and that is all that is known about the rather obscure program. Surrounded by an apparently riotous crowd, the Indianapolis Light Artillery met the Athletic Club on the afternoon of November 2. By halftime, the score was a tight 6–4 in favor of the Artillerymen, but the military team blew away the athletic club in the 2nd half, securing their 3rd official victory, 22–4.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Games, November 17: Louisville AC
A good match-up between the ILA and the Louisville AC was played in Louisville in front of a crowd of 800 on a rainy Saturday afternoon. The contest was 70 minutes long, with two 35-minute halves. The Artillerymen scored early points in the first half to go up 10–0, before Louisville rallied with two field goals to usurp the military team 12–10 at the half in favor of the AC. This was the first time since Chicago AC that the Light Artillery had faced a halftime deficit. The military team came out of the 2nd half with 10 unanswered points by left halfback Thompson and kicker Don Scott to win 20–12.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Games, November 22: Notre Dame
In a minor upset, The Indianapolis Light Artillery beat Notre Dame 18–0, on their own Cartier Field in South Bend. This game is famous because of HG Haddon, coach of the 1895 Notre Dame football team, who inserted himself into the lineup as a left tackle, gaining considerable ground on the semi-professionals before the end of the game through a returned kickoff, recovering a fumble, and a number of other carries. Immediately after the game, the ILA left for Chicago for a rematch with the Chicago Athletic Association's football team.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Games, November 23: Chicago AC
In the second contest between the two teams, Chicago AC won by a narrow margin of 4–0. The day was cold and icy, with only 500 spectators coming to watch the event in Chicago. The game was 40 minutes long, with two 20-minute halves. After a scoreless half, Chicago scored a controversial touchdown that awarded them the 4 points they needed to win. The Light Artillery blamed the linesman for bad officiating and bias towards the Chicago team, as one of the linesmen was a brother of a Chicago AC player.


1895 Indianapolis Light Artillery football team, Games, Thanksgiving Day Game: Butler
The Indianapolis Light Artillery destroyed Butler to close out the 1895 season at the East Ohio-Street grounds in Indianapolis. The game was over from the start, with the Butler players apparently unable to move the ball without penalties, and a 22–0 ILA lead by the half. The game was 70 minutes long, with two 35-minute halves.


1895 Invercargill mayoral election
The 1895 Invercargill mayoral election was held on 27 November 1895 as part of that years local elections.


1895 Inverness Burghs by-election
The Inverness Burghs by-election, 1895 was a parliamentary by-election held on 31 August 1895 for the House of Commons constituency of Inverness Burghs, which was made up of the towns of Inverness, Fortrose, Forres and Nairn in the Scottish Highlands.


1895 Inverness Burghs by-election, Vacancy
Under the provisions of the Succession to the Crown Act of 1707 and a number of subsequent Acts, MPs appointed to certain ministerial and legal offices were at this time required to seek re-election. The vacancy in Inverness Burghs was caused by the appointment of the sitting Liberal Unionist MP, Robert Finlay to become Solicitor General.


1895 Inverness Burghs by-election, Candidates
Finlay stood again in the Liberal Unionist interest. The Liberal Party had held the seat from 1892, when Gilbert Beith took it from Finlay, until the general election of 1895 when Finlay had regained it. Beith had stood down and the Liberals had a new candidate, Henry Bell.

Ira C. Brownlie, who founded the Iowa Agricultural football program in 1892, later recalled: "In 1895 the great Pop Warner came out to Ames to coach. He would remain with us from July to October 1. . . . He was at Ames for five years that way."

1895 Italian general election
General elections were held in Italy on 26 May 1895, with a second round of voting on 2 June. The "ministerial" left-wing bloc remained the largest in Parliament, winning 334 of the 508 seats.


1895 Italian general election, Historical background
In December 1893 the impotence of the Giovanni Giolitti cabinet to restore public order, menaced by disturbances in Sicily and the Banca Romana scandal, gave rise to a general demand that Francesco Crispi should return to power. Although Giolitti tried to put a halt to the manifestations and protests of the Fasci Siciliani, his measures were relatively mild. In the three weeks of uncertainty before Crispi formed a government on December 15, 1893, the rapid spread of violence drove many local authorities to defy Giolitti’s ban on the use of firearms. In December 1893, 92 peasants lost their lives in clashes with the police and army. Government building were burned as well as flour mills and bakeries that refused to lower their prices when taxes were lowered or abolished.


1895 Italian general election, Historical background
On January 3, 1894, Crispi declared a state of siege throughout Sicily. Army reservists were recalled and General Roberto Morra di Lavriano was dispatched with 40,000 troops. The old order was restored through the use of extreme force, including summary executions. A solidarity revolt of anarchists and republicans in the Lunigiana was crushed as well.


1895 Italian general election, Historical background
The repression of the Fasci turned into outright persecution. The government arrested not just the leaders of the movement, but masses of poor farmers, students, professionals, sympathizers of the Fasci, and even those simply suspected of having sympathized with the movement at some point in time, in many cases without any evidence for the accusations. After the declaration of the state of emergency, condemnations were issued for the paltriest of reasons. Many rioters were incarcerated for having shouted things such as "Viva l'anarchia" or "down with the King". At Palermo, in April and May 1894, the trials against the central committee of the Fasci took place and this was the final blow that signaled the death knell of the movement of the Fasci Siciliani.


1895 Italian general election, Historical background
On June 16, 1894, the anarchist Paolo Lega tried to shoot Crispi but the attempt failed. On June 24 an Italian anarchist killed French President Carnot. In this climate of increased the fear of anarchism, Crispi was able to introduce a series of anti-anarchist laws in July 1894, which were also used against socialists. Heavy penalties were announced for "incitement to class hatred" and police received extended powers of preventive arrest and deportation.


1895 Italian general election, Historical background
Crispi steadily supported the energetic remedies adopted by his Minister of Finance Sidney Sonnino to save Italian credit, which had been severely shaken the financial crisis of 1892–1893 and the Banca Romana scandal. In 1894 he was threatened with expulsion from the Masonic Grande Oriente d'Italia for being too friendly towards the Catholic Church. He had previously been strongly anticlerical but had become convinced of the need for rapprochement with the Papacy.


1895 Italian general election, Historical background
Crispi’s uncompromising suppression of disorder, and his refusal to abandon either the Triple Alliance or the Eritrean colony, or to forsake his Minister of the Treasury, Sidney Sonnino, caused a breach with the radical leader Felice Cavallotti. Cavallotti began a pitiless campaign of defamation against him. The unsuccessful attempt upon Crispi’s life by the anarchist Lega brought a momentary truce, but Cavallotti’s attacks were soon renewed more fiercely than ever. They produced little effect and the general election of 1895 gave Crispi a huge majority. Nevertheless, the humiliating defeat of the Italian army at Adwa in March 1896 in Ethiopia during First Italo-Ethiopian War, brought about his resignation after riots broke out in several Italian towns.

The Local Government Act 1888 established Kesteven as an administrative county, governed by a Council; elections were held every three years from 1889, until it was abolished by the Local Government Act 1972, which established Lincolnshire County Council in its place.


1895 Kesteven County Council election
Forty-six electoral divisions of the new Council were outlined in December 1888. For the 1892 election, Sleaford and Bourne, which were initially two member divisions, were split, the former into Sleaford East and Sleaford West, the latter into Bourne and Morton. Nearly every candidate was returned unopposed, with contests in only eight divisions. Of these, six involved political parties; the Liberals won four and the Conservatives two.

1895 Ljubljana earthquake
The 1895 Ljubljana earthquake (Slovene: ljubljanski potres) or the Easter earthquake (Slovene: velikonočni potres) struck Ljubljana (the capital and largest city of Carniola, a Crown land of Austria-Hungary and the capital of Slovenia) on Easter Sunday, 14 April. It was the most, and the last, destructive earthquake in the area.


1895 Ljubljana earthquake, Earthquake
With a Richter magnitude of 6.1 and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of VIII–IX, the earthquake struck at 20:17 UTC (22:17 local time). The earthquake's epicentre was located in Janče, about 16 kilometres (10 mi) to the east of the Ljubljana downtown. The focus was 16 kilometres (10 mi) deep. The shock was felt in a circle with a radius of 350 kilometres (220 mi) and an area of 385,000 square kilometres (149,000 sq mi), reaching as far away as Assisi, Florence, Vienna, and Split. More than 100 aftershocks followed in the next ten days.


1895 Ljubljana earthquake, Earthquake, Damage
The largest damage was caused in a circle with a radius of 18 km (11 mi), from Ig to Vodice. At the time, Ljubljana's population was some 31,000, with around 1,400 buildings. About ten percent of buildings were damaged or destroyed, although few people died in the destruction. On Vodnik Square (Vodnikov trg), an old monastery, which contained a diocesan girls' college and a library was sufficiently damaged that it had to be razed, and the site eventually was turned into an outdoor market (Ljubljana Central Market, Osrednja ljubljanska tržnica), now an important site in the city. The damage was estimated to 7 million guldens.


1895 Ljubljana earthquake, Earthquake, Response
The next morning, the Municipal Council adopted emergency measures to assist the worst-affected victims, to direct the police force in extra security measures, and to direct the police force to inspect the damaged houses. All the city's schools were temporarily closed, and some factories temporarily ceased operation. A few days later, emergency shelters were created for the homeless. Many citizens of Ljubljana left the city as refugees. Lack of food was quickly felt in the city, and five emergency kitchens were established, which were free or low cost and distributed several thousand hot meals each day.


1895 Ljubljana earthquake, Earthquake, Response
Other areas of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially Vienna, the Czech Lands and Croatia-Slavonia assisted in the aid. Among the individual members of the Municipal Council, the Liberal Nationalist Ivan Hribar, showed particular organizational abilities in providing aid. Shortly thereafter, he was elected mayor and organized the town's extensive reconstruction. The damage was substantial. Most houses were damaged on Hospice Street (Špitalska ulica, today Stritar Street, Stritarjeva ulica), where all houses were destroyed except for one, and the markets.


1895 Ljubljana earthquake, Post-earthquake development
Until the event, Ljubljana had a provincial appearance. Expansion of the city and a widespread Vienna Secession architectural change began, which today is juxtaposed against the earlier Baroque style buildings that remain. Many buildings, such as the Mladika, were constructed in the aftermath. The rebuilding period between 1896 and 1910 is referred to as the "revival of Ljubljana" not just because of these architectural changes from which a great deal of the city dates back to today, but for reform of urban administration, health, education and tourism that followed.


1895 Ljubljana earthquake, Post-earthquake development
From 1895 to 1910, 436 new buildings were created and hundreds of buildings were renovated or extended in the Vienna Secession style. Most of Ljubljana's bridges, monuments, parks, and main buildings date back to the post-earthquake development. A chapel, dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, was erected in 1895 in Janče by the people of Ljubljana so that Mary would protect them from such disasters. In 1897, the first Austro-Hungarian seismological observatory was established in Ljubljana at Vega Street (Vegova ulica).

The margin of victory was a surprise as Western Reserve had won the Western football championship in 1894 and had narrowly lost to Eastern football power Cornell the previous week by a score of 12 to 4. Against Michigan, however, Western Reserve had the ball only five or six minutes in the entire games and, as one newspaper wrote, "was never in the hunt."
