Important Decision in a Case Brought by a
Drummer of Interest to Hotel Men.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
NEW YORK, November "A case that
will interest hotelkeepers and the travelling
public was decided In this city to-day by
Justice Bronson. Maurice E. Meyer, a
travelling salesman for a Boston house
(Green Brothers, clothiers), sued the land
lord OF the Scovill House to recover a grip
sack worth, with its contents, $50, which
was held by the landlord in default of the
payment of board bill. Never
called at the Scovill House late in the
afternoon and had supper and bed. The
next morning he did not rise in time for
break fast, although called twice. When
he got down to the dining room he found
the doors locked and the walters preparing
for dinner. C. l. Tremaine, the landlord,
explained to him that the rules were posted
in a conspicuous place, and that he knew
the hour Tor breakfast. Meyer went out
and got a meal at a restaurant, and, return
ing later, turned in the key of his room and
asked for his bill.
The bill charged him with a breakfast
which he did not eat, and he stoutly refused
to settle. He offered to pay 81 so, which
was the amount charged for supper and
lodging, but this was refused, the hotel man
holding that the house was not to blame for
his missing his breakfast, and insisted on
the full bill. Meyer refused to paw, and
the result was the clerk kept his valise, or
sample bag. The decision is against Meyer.

One of the Members of the Notorious
Rensch Gang Caught.
CHICAGO. Novemb Der matilda Naylor,
one of the boldest and most successful shop
lifters in the West, was caught at the fair
Yesterday while transferring a valuable
plush cloak from the counter to large
pocket in her dress. To give her
an air of respectability, she carried child
in her arms, and when the special
policeman at the store arrested her she ut
tered an agonizing shrek and fell to the
floor in faint. Water was dashed in her
face and she soon recovered. The
woman made such a touching appeal
for mercy and clung to the child so lovingly
that the fair people were inclined to
be lenient with her. She claimed to be the
wife of an honest, hard-working mechanic,
and that she was driven to commit the theft
through want and sickness. While explain
ing her queer conduct she kept edging
toward the door, and when she had nearly
reached it made an effort to escape. The
Central police station was notified, and
Officer Thomas brought her to headquarters.
Some Of the old-time detectives identified
the woman as a member OF the notorious
Rensch family. Six years ago she was ar
rested for shoplifting at Mandel Bros. The
police found nearly 81 900 worth of silks in
her room on the North Side. She was not
prosecuted at that time. A woman answer
ing her description has been stealing fro m
the big downtown stores of late.

The President Reported to Have Decided to
Call it for November 10.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHl
WASHINGTON November 2.-The talk
in regard to an extra session of Congress is
revived tonight by rumors that the Presi-
dent will call session, beginning about
November 10. The legislation in contem-
plation is the same that has been already
and repeatedly announced, and the main
reason for calling an extra session
would be to gain two or three weeks
of. time. The shortness of the regular
session is worrying the Republicans not a
little, as they do not see how they can push
through the Federal elections bill, the re-
apportionment bill and the other special
measures which they have on the carpet
together with the necessary appropriation
bills and other routine business between De-
cember and March.
Three additional weeks in November
would be of great advantage to them. The
President has been in favor of an extra ses-
sion from the first, and although 1t is not
positively known that he has decided to call
one, the probability that he will do so has
become much stronger within the last "a
hours.

NEW YORK. November 2-The indoor ath

aad the Stafford Harriers took place last
evening. The Englishmen did very well. but
the Americans held their own against them,
No records were broken.
Much interest was centered in the attempt of
l. Ii. Gary, the great Princeton College
sprinter, to lower the record for 20 yards. Mr..
Cary's attempts were all heroic, but the disap-
pointing part Of it all was that nobody seemed
TO know of any established garden record.
and Nh CaTy's excellent times went for
naUELt
In tie first trial heat Cary got over the dis
lance in ~ seconds. He repeated this in the
rfst of the second trials. A number of his
supporters claimed that his figures were the
best on record. but the critics were incredu-
louS- The best time Tor % yards is "a seconds
made by ha!1 dozen men. If Cary ran 20
wards in - he necessarily would have had to
run the remaining five yards in quarter of a
second to equal the rccord-an impossible feat
In the final heat Cary ran well, but a Yale
freshman. named kitchell, ran still better aud

During the course of the evening paper was
that the gentlemen who had timed his record
smashing the lOO-yard dash at Princeton. had
been prevailed upon to time one heat of the 20

KILLED HIS FRIEND.
A DEER HUNTER MEETS DEATH AT A
FELLOW-SPORTSMAN HAND.

The Sad Fatality That Marked the Opening
Day of New Jerseys Deer-Hunting
Seasonal Man Named Hoffman Shot in
Mistake for a Deer.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
MAYS LANDING, n. j., November g.
Atlantic county's greatest sport, the season
for shooting deer, came In yesterday, and
from early morning until late at night the
woods were full of hunters. On Friday
night several hundred sportsmen arrived in
the county from Philadelphia, New York
and Camden, ready to try the shooting on
the first day of the season. For the past
shoot deer in New Jersey, and this has
been the cause of making deer plentiful in
the lower counties of the State.
Atlantic county's greatest shooting ground
is the large belt of land known as the Jersey
Pines, which is one long range of pines for
many miles. In the midst of this dense
wood is situated a small tavern, known as
Doughty's tavern, where lives Uncle David
Mcclure, the most famous deer hunter in
New Jersey. Here many deer are killed
each year. Hunters congregate here during
the season from all parts of the country to
hunt under the guidance of Uncle Dave
and bis four sons. Yesterday morning sew
eral parties of hunters started from the point,
and succeeded in killing several deer dur
ing the day. David Ford and Joshua Smith
each killed deer about three miles from
this place. A party of Atlantic City gun
ners also killed two deer. Andrew Bozarth,
an old hunter of this place, and party of
other gunners started six deer in two hours
at Catawba, Atlantic county, and killed one
of them.
The opening day of the season was unfor-
tunately marked by fatality that has cast
gloom over this locality. While John
Cruise, of Dorchester, was hunting in the
woods above Belle Plains, his attention was
attracted by something rustling in the
bushes in front of him. Thinking it was
deer, he fired at the object, but on going up
to ascertain what was the effect of the shot
he was Mortified to find that he had killed
Jay Hoffman, OF Ewing's Neck, fellow
sportsman. The unfortunate man, who was
about 35 years of age and unmarried, was
literally riddled with bullet shots, and his
death was instantaneous.
