amazingly, and to-day its business ,ex-
tends flom Maine to California. Some
thing over S5.00O,000 of insurance was
written by them during 'S7, and it is
probable that the close of the present
year will show large increase in these
figures. Energetic management, prompt
settlement of claims, simplicity of meth

assumes risks is the secret of their sue

New York Sueeumbs to Bos-
ton---"Billy" SoWders Was
the Hub Pitcher.

Mccarthy, the pucky little pitcher of
the Kansas City team, did remarkable
work in the box yesterday afternoon,
striking out twelve men and assisting
five times on ground balls, but his team
lost the game just the same. Duryea
was hit safely in every inning except
the first and ninth, but two hits in an
inning were made only in one, the
eighth. The game was close and
pretty one, and it is a pity that more
people were not out to see it. The
grounds were in excellent condi-
ton, the water having drained,
Off about as fast as it fell;
the weather was fine, and the 200 people
who turned out enjoyed themselves
thoroughly. Murphy opened the game
with line drive over the second bag,
went to third Oil MOrrisSy's hit to the
same quarter and scored on Veach's
out. Murphy hit safely again in the
third, took second on Bradley's failure
to stop the ball, went to third on Wells
muff of MOrriSSy'S third strike and stole
home while the ball was being thrown
to second and back. NOmore runs were
scored until the eighth, when Kansas
City added considerable interest by scor-
ing once and getting men on second ana
third. After Cartwright mad been retired
Manning took base on balls and went to
second onIIaSSamaer'S sacrifice. Manning
played little too far off his base, and
when the ball was thrown to Shafer he
darted for third. Shafer threw the bail
wild and Manning scored. Ardner hit
TO center for base and Johnson drove
the ball against the left-field fence for
two. There were men on second and
third, and one run would tie the game
and two perhaps win it. Would CamDau
be equal to tile emergency? He struck
viciously at the second ball pitched, but
never touched it. The next one suited
him also, but he famed the breeZeS
again. Then balls were called until
they reached four in number. The ''Cy-
clone" then fired one in straight
over the plate and Campau hit
it. 1t had been pitched too fast. how
ever, and the ball went spinning over to
Shafer, who got it to first in time. In
the ninth Veach opened up by batting
three holes in the air. Then Reilly,
who had done nothing up to this time,
basted the ball against the left-field
fence for two bases. Mccarthy funbled
Skaters grounder and then threw wild
to catch Reilly at third, the latter scOr-
ing and Shafer taking second. Pick
ett'S sacrifice sent Shafer to third, and
the latter scored on Manning's tumble
of Kemmler's grounder. The fielding
of the home team was generally very
sharp, Reilly, MorriSsy, Pickett and
Veach leading. Two of the last-named's
running catches were difficult and
roundly applauded. Score:

FUN IN COURT.
Two Chicago Lawyers Use Choice
Adiectiyes.

CHICAGO, June 10.-There was a SEN
satiOnal occurrence in Judge Water
mans court to-day. Judge John P. 1T
geld called Corporation Counsel Judge
Green liar and shook his fist in Mr..
Green's face. Judge Waterman called
Judge Altgeld to order and for several
minutes it looked as if the two judges
might come together and settle their
tiff in an unjudicial manner. The de-
tails are such that Corporation Counsel
Green and his assistant, Mr.. Knight,
will hereafter pray for change of venue
when they have a case in Judge Alt
geld's court. The trouble all came
about over what Mr.. Green says
was very peculiar and discOurteous
treatment of him and Mayor Roche and
Comptroller Burley by Judge Altgeld.
Judge Altgeld, besides being one OF the
superior court judiciary at salary of
$1,000 year. is generally known to be a
rich man. He is said to own property
in Chicago worth over half million dol
lars. The charge causing the outbreak
was that Judge Altgeld in his private
capacity had taken snap judgment on a
suit Of his against the city, obtaining a
verdict for $500 when it is claimed
the proper sum should be only $500.
Judge Altgeld shows stipulation with
City Attorney Washburn fixing the date
of the trial, and declares the snap judy
ment is the result of malice.
