FOUGHT LIKE A MADMAN.
a Thief Overtaken in n Small Boat OIL
tha

a Thief Oyertaken in Small Boat
the Hudson.
Charles Decker, laborer at Permont,
stole boat and started to row across the
Hudson to Irvington, says the New York
Commercial. One of the boatmen started
in pursuit, and though Decker had about
an eighth of a mile start, soon overhauled
him.
Don't you come near me-" shouted
Decker, as his pursuer approached. "Pll
break your neck if you touch this boatT
But the boatman pulled stOutly for his
game and was soon at Decker's side. See
ing that he could not Ontrow the beat
man, Decker quit rowing and stood up in
the boat.
"Pl crack your head if you come any
nearer" he threatened, raising an oar men
acingly.
A moment later and the bow of the pur-
suing craft grated against the side Of
Decker's. He aimed vicious blow at the
bOatman's head. Had it struck him it
would have crushed his skull, but he lodged
it and the impetus of the stroke sent Decker
headlong into the river, oyerturning his
boat.
When Deckers head bobbed up after his
plunge, the boatman grabbed his assailant
by the collar and hauled him into the boat.
Meantime several other boats had come up,
and one of them carried Constable Hickey.
After sinking his captive thoroughly the
boatmau turned him over to the constable.
He, too, shook Decker vigorously.
No sooner had the party landed than
Decker made desperate effort to escape.
He knocked Constable Hickey down, but
the officer clung to his prisoner. and rough
and tumble fight followed, in which both
had their eyes blackened. Blood flowed
freely, and both were smeared with red
when the first fight ended. Boatmen and
villagers helped the constable to subdue
Decker, however, and he was soon on his
way to the village lookup.
He fought almost every step Of the way,
and when he had been dragged short dis
lance he succeeded in breaking away from
the constable. He fled down the street with
fully 100 men in pursuit. After a short run
John Leitner grabbed him, and with the
help of other citizens turned him over to
the constable.
Decker was finally landed in the lookup.
His face was a mass of bruises and was en-
tirely covered with blood. His clothing.
too, was torn and bloody. In personal ap-
pearance Constable Hickey was n close
second.

Thanks to the time Of day, Oakland won
one OF the two games yesterday with the
Gardeners. When play opened in the
morning at Emeryville Tom and Mike
agreed to Call time at twenty minutes past
II o'clock, in order to make the ferry for
this side Of the bay.
With this understanding the two teams
proceeded to mix up, but fortunately there
was scarcely any one there to see them.
The Colonies had the best Of it up TO the
eighth inning. at which time the score stood
II to in favor of the tail-enders. Long
Mr.. Jackson, successor to young Strand,
covered what he could OF his elongated
anatomy with an Oakland uniform and
pitched nice ball for his employer. The
Gardeners got but four hits in seven In
pings. but errors are sometimes more pro-
life of runs than the singles employed In
that capacity. Nicholas Lookabaugh was
literally thumped, and his support was not
q glaring success.
In their half of the eighth the Dukes were
In fair way to win the game. They had
two runs In, three men on bases, one man
out and n. LOOkabaugh at bat. Things
looked sQually for the Colonies. but as ii
was almost sailing time they started in to
delay the game by throwing the ball around
and doing other little tricks known to the

Rules Tor the Examination OF umcerS Below

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-The President has
prescribed a set of rules which have been
promulgated by the Secretary of War, pro-
viding for system of examination to deter
mine the fitness for promotion of all officers
of the army below the grade OF Major.
When Congress passed the act of October
1890. providing for such examinations, it
went into effect Immediately, aud in order
to adjust the scheme to men who had made
no preparation for examinations, the re-
quirements were somewhat limited. The
act has now been in operation a year, and it
is deemed proper to make the examinations
more searching, and to establish a much
higher order Of requirements as a condition
of promotion. To that end, the new rules
have been prescribed, but in order that in
justice shall not be done, and all the officers
shall be afforded ample time to prepare
themselves for the ordeal. the rules will not
be applied until January l, 1893.
