The billiard tournament under the rule
of the champion game was commenced to-
night in Tammany Hail. There was a
large attendance, many of those present
being ladies. The first game tonight was
between Albert GARNER and Maurice DAILY.
The referee announced that the game to be
played IN this tournament was practically
a new one. Experts became so proficient
at rail nursing that with a view OF dimin-
Ishing the large runs and forcing experts
to play more around the table these rules
were adopted. A line is drawn across
each corner of the table and within the
tour triangles thus formed it is permitted
to make only one carom without sending
one of the object balls outside of the tri
angle. There are eight players entered
for the tournament which will make it
necessary to play twenty-eight games ex-

ASrRANGE AccIDENT.-Night before
last, says the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise,
Billy Schaum, a young man employed at
The Nevada Brewery, met with n severe
accident in quite a curious manner. He
went to bed early, being very tired. -
About an hour after he retired a fellow
workman camo to the proprietor Of the
establishment, Louis Reick, and told him
that Billy Schaum was hurt that he
thought his shoulder was broken. Mr..
Relck said such m accident was impossi-
bic, as Billy had gone to bed an hour be
fore all right, and he had no. heard Of his
getting up. Nevertheless, ;" said the
man, " he is badly hurt, as you will see
by coming to his room" Sure enough
Billy WAS found in his room with broken
shoulder. His story explained the bus>
ness. He said he dreamed he was in the
stable, and his team began kicking at him
in furious manner. He coIld only es
cape their heels by making a great leap
and landed across the room, with his
shoulder against the corner of heavy
chest. Ills story made all plain enough,
and his friends are now fstalists. They
say " what Is to be will be, and q man
whose bones are to be broken cannot es~
cape by going 10 bed"
