BILLIARDS.

V1GNAUx AND sLossoF.
Special Dtspateh to The Chicago 7Hbun&.
NEW YoRK, Dec. .18-Maurice Daily, who at
rived in Paris three weeks ago, has been
negotiating with Vignaux for an Amer
lean tour in the interest. Of firm
of American billiard-table makers.
Mr. Daily, in a letter received
to-day, says that N. Vignaux is very desirous
of reyisit1ng America, although he has a
perfect horror of the ocean voyage, and has
declared that he Is satisfied with
the Inducements offered him, but will
not give an unqualified answer
or make any positive engagement
with the American firm until after the
match with Mr.. Slosson is concluded. Mr..
Daily says, however, that in case Slosson
should win the match, there is not
doubt that Vignaux will AZ
rive in New York some time next
month, and he is confident that he
will accept the propositions made by the
American company, whether he wins or
loses next weeks match. In case his negotia-
tiors are successful, matches will be arranged
hctweeu Vignaux and Schaefer, Sexton and
Slosson, and ali international billiard tourna
1aent will take place in New York 9kter in
the season. Vignaux Is also TO visit Cincin-
natl and Chicago, where it is expected tour
naments will also be held.
In cable dispatch received to-day Mr.
Slosson said that he never was In more per
feet trim for a match in his life, and that he
was perfectly confident barring, of
course, unforeseen accidents, Of beat
Ing Vignaeux in next weeks
match, which begins Monday night. He
did not think he underrated lVignaux's
strength as IN antagonist, but there was
a large stake on the game, and he
was bound to win. Vignaux is
equally confident. Until about ten days ago
Slosson was slight fayorit, but lately the
tide has turned, and now Vignaux is the
favorit by about 100 to 50. Large sums have
already been staked on the game.

HOW THE CLERKS KEEP WATCH OVER JUSTICE AN
GELS DOCUMENTS.
Justice Angel was elected to the Tenth Ju-
ducia District Court last November When he took his
seat at the beginning OF the year nc appointed as his
clerks Charles c. Bigelow and Anthony McOwen, the
salary OF being So 600 year. The two clerks Of
Justice FLANAGAN whose term of Office expired at the
close Of the year. claimed that they should continue In
office until the had expired There have been sew
eTa changes in the clerks of that Court within the
last few years In 1874 James Quinn was clerk. He
died, and James Burns appointed in his place IN
1874 Burns also held position as brdgekeeper OF the
Harlem Bridge and lie could attend Faithfully TO the
duties OF both Offices. Thomas f. GrOy was appointed
In his place In January, 1878 H. held The position for
a few months, when Justice Flanagan appointed Benia-
min Hask!n half-brother OF John B. Iaskin Gilroy
disputed the right to appoint man in his place. and
sued Benjamin Haskin While the suit was pending Gi-
roy received cerkshpin the Ninth Judicial Court The
difference between him and Hdskn was then settled or
a consideration, and Haskin remained in Office. John
Clarke was then the Chief Clerk Last November he re-
signed, and brother. Peter w. Clarke appointed
by Justice Flanagan for six years; - .,o
Peter Clarke was with blm ON the bench. The Justice
demanded of Clarke the seal and documents or the
Court Clarke refused TO give nem up claiming tat
he the lawful custodian OF the property Justice
Angel said he would send Clarke TO jail II 1t were
not that he was a young man and was probably
acting under bad legal advice ne said ne wonlu give
Clarke until this morning 10 decide ON what course ne
would pursue and II he did deliver up the docu-
ments then he would take action.
In the meantime Clarke and Haskln took precautions
prevent anyone except themselves from entering the
Clerks office. They barrcaded the door ana nt on new
fas,enngs and extra bolts Justice Angels clerks were
obliged TO content themselves in another room at the
back of the courtroom rs said that Clarke and askln
actng advice of John B. Haskn and other
lawyers who claim that the Old clerks cannot be re-
moved except for cause Justice Angel claims that ne
,has the right TO appoint his own CLERKS He WI NOT sign
roll which the names of Clarke and HasGln a
pear. 1t is thought that legal proceedings VIII be begun
ROOn to settle the dispute.
There is much dissatisfaction among the residents on
the district because the courthouse is 80 far from the
