AMMoN VS.. HAHN.

| Progress of the Sensational Suit in the
Common Pleas Court.
The third day of the trial of the suit for
alimony brought By Amanda Ammon
against Ralph Hahn, opened this morning
with well crowded lobby. The most in
teresting testimony of the morning was
that of the jeweler, A. Aaron, who testified
that on the day that Hahn was locked
in the dining room at the Edighoffer
house, the defendant and Martin Edighoffer
came to his store, where in private conver-
sation Hahn told him that they lad locked
him in the room and Edighoffer threatened
to shoot him if he did not marry his sister,
in-law, the defendant; and that Hahn said
he had promised to go and get license in
order to get out of the room. The rest of
the witnesses called for the defense testified
to having seen defendant drunk on
various occasions about this period.
The desired effect of this testimony
was to prove that Hahn was not in his
proper sense and in no condition to make
binding contract The case bids fair to oe-
cupy couple of days yet and from present
indications the prosecution will have bill
of exceptions that will cover most of the
testimony of the defense.

THE RINK CLOSES.

The Roller Skating Fever Fails to Arouse
the PopuIace, and the Enterprise Goes
Under.
The rink fever has never seized Spring
field with such irresistible force as it has
most of the neighboring towns. Never has
an enterprise of the kind paid here since the
first one, five years ago. When Harry
Fisher, Walter Gibson, and Charley Jones.
at the beginning of this season, leased
the wigwam and started up the MI
kado" rink, everybody wished the boys
success, and it looked as though they were
going to make things go. However, they
started the concern on too small capital,
and depended mostly on the success of the
enterprise to pay for the necessary stock.
Things did not pan cut so well as was
hoped, and about six weeks ago crash
came Suits were brought to recover pay
ment for the floor that had been put in and
to pay for the suits of the
polo club. 1t then appeared
that the skates and decorations
were still unpaid for. An adjustment was
made by which Gibson and Jones pulled
out of the concern and Fisher tried to run
it at small expense and pay off the indebt-
edneSs. This he failed to accomplish and a
burden Of about S4OO still remains. No
definite arrangement has yet been made
with the creditors, but it will not be put into
the hands of a receiver. The rink will be

A NEW GAME.
How Pair of New York Drummers Re

"
How Pair of New York Drummers Re
vivified Ancient Billiards.
The proprietor of a well-known billiard
hall sat in Smithfield dining-room, eating
his MONDAY meal of roast turkey and Gran.
berry sauce There was a look of serene
c0ntentment on his face, and his pockets
were heavy with the product of many
billiard games.
There are two drummers in this town
who have brought me more business in the
last week than | had in the entire preced-
ing month, he remarked TO a reporter who
had just ordered ham sandwich and a
glass of water.
mo, they didn't go out in the street and
yell The greatest show on earth, or any
thing of that sort They just came into my
place of business one day, and hired a
pool table and set of billiard
balls for an hour. They said they
had Just come from New, York.
and had brought with them the very latest
billiard game out. There were quite a num-
Der OF players in the room at the time, and
of course they all left their games and
gathered around to see the new game
played.
''Well, those drummeIs got to work and
played several games of the very oldest
kind of six pocket billiards. The game our
great grandfathers used to amuse them
selves at, you know. There wasn't man
in the house, except myself, who recognized
the game, and the result was that every
body wanted to learn to play it. The
drummers kindly told them the rules of the
game, and showed them how to count.
Well, the old chestnut caught on in great
shape. The boys all wanted to play it. Ny
tables have been in use almost constantly
ever since, and modern billiards have been
left out in the cold. The new game is
spreading out into other billiard halls, and,
unles somebody divulges its age, it bids
fair 70 become very POPULAR

spent in wrangling and fussing over little
things of small importance.
