INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 20.-John T. Musselman died in the State Insane hospital near this city yesterday. He was from Lo- gansport, and father-in-law of Rufus Magee, minister to Sweden.

He also built the Logansport opera house for the sole purpose of ridicul- ing certain citizens through the medium of a play which he himself wrote and called ssLogansport Reviewers" He presented his play for six nights to the infinite amusement of the community.

WONDERFUL BILLIARDS.
Vfgnaux Beats SIOsson In The Finest
 Game On Record.


 Game On Record. - CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-The fifth game of the tournament for the worlds championship ed at Central Music Hall tonight by as large an audience as was present at any of the preceding games. The usual number of ladies were present to give impartial ap- plause to the participants. Mme. Vignaux occupied the same box from which she had witnessed the previous games and her face was a study as she watched the wavering fortunes of her husband. The big Parisian won the bank, and choosing the black ball, opened the game with a run of nine. The student followed with rans of 77 and 24 and at the beginning of the third inning the score stood: Slosson 10t, Vignaux H.. Wig naux opened the third inning with run of 195, piling up the count in his impressive manner with the applause of the audience and the nervous watch of Slosscn
 as concomitants. As he passed the biggest run of the tournament his own of 166, made in his game with Slos- son on the opening nighttime applause was deafening and Mime. Vignaux smiled. He missed on short cushion daw with the big gest run so far made to his credit. Slosson failed to get more than one from the leave and again Vignaux exhibited his skill He kept the balls clicking until 32 was called by Marker Math ews. He finally slipped up on a simple carom. In the fifth inning Vignaux gathered the balls by two-cushioned masse and when Charlie Matthews quit counting he had added 99 points to his lead. Slosson failed to net more than two from the leave of the Frenchman and quit with the score: Vignaux 337, Slosson 104. Vignaux was playing wonderful billiards and at the close of the fifth inning had an average of 67 70. l He opened the seventh inning with bril- ! liant cushion draw and played difficult open table billiards until he reached S0. On the ! eighty first shot the balls were scattered, but ! he got them together by dashing reverse English shot and kept the spheres clicking until he had added 174 to his count With the score 511 to Ill against him the ! student began to look hopeless and during
