| The "Wixardo Won the Billiard
Tournament at New York.

The "WiEard" Won the Billiard
Tournament at New York.
In the sixth inning Of the final and decid-
ing contest in the billiard tourney in New
York Saturday night Schaefer ran the game
out and made the worlds record OF 566
points. 1t was the greatest run ever made
in a game of 14-inch balk line billiards and
many a day will pass before it will be
equaled.
The earlier part Of the evenings play was
tame, but in the sixth inning, when Ives
had reached his fiftieth count, Schaefer
gathered the balls in the upper left-hand
corner, and, after a few preliminary shots,
succeeded in getting them astride the line
Once there he ratified or point after point
without moving the ivories more than the
sixteenth Of an inch. In this position he
added seventy-fve to his string. Then he
anchored them against the cushion for
twenty-five, and, of course, was applauded
This he supplemented by fifty more with the
balls not a hairs breadth removed from
their position. There they were anchored
and there they stayed while the Wizard
walked to and fro tapping the white ball
first to the right, then to the left.
The Wizard was in his finest form. Three
hundred and fifty" announced Bud Scho-
field, and Immediately pandemonium reigned
Run 1t out, Jake" shouted one OF the
audience. Jake needed no such encourage
ment. With logged persistence and steady
regularity he walked back and forth, per-
spiration streaming from every pore, and
scoring point after point until, when 400
points were announced, the audience stood
and yelled like the veriest Comanches. The
rest of the tale is easily told. Ives record of
456, made last November at Chicago, and at
which the world wondered, was cast into
oblivion.
1t now became a contest Of physical en-
QuranCe. rois 70
whether Jake would outlast the exertion
necessary to score the $3.50 points requisite
to run out the game. The 500 mark was
reached at 9:40 p. m, and the audience
yelled itself hoarse, and did not subside until
Jake had finished the game.
The score by innings was as follows:
Schaefer-12, IA. s. U, o, 566. Total, 60
1ves-O, 33, 3, 10, 4. Total, 80.
The tournament, IL is estimated, will clear
$4,000. OF this amount Schaefer will receive
5000 and the sweepstakes. 81 800 making
MIN a winner of $1,000. Ives share will be
81, 100, and Slossons, $500.

A FAMOUS CASE ENDS.
Contest of the Will of Millionaire
Davis.
ORIGINAL CLAIMS TO BE PAID.
History of the Long Fight for a
Fortune.
ABLE COUNSEL PARTICIPATED

CHICAGO. Dec. 1S.-The famous Davis
will case is settled and s11, 900. 900, the value
of the estate of Andrew ]. Davis, the Mon
tana millionaire, will soon be divided among
the heirs thus ending one of the most SEN
sational probate cases that has ever been
tried in court.
A settlement has been made with the
contestants of the will, Henry A. Root and
Maria Cummings, on the basis Of their
original claims, which was three and a half
elevenths of the entire estate This would
equal $3,5OO,O00, and in the settlement the
contestants are given their expenses and
counsel fees, which amount to nearly
100000. There, are four other heirs all
relatives of the dead millionaire and two
OF them live in Chicago One is George
w. Davis. young man who has been en-
ployed number Of years in the Herald's
business office. His brother E. H. Davis,
also lives In Chicago, and is engaged in
the coal business. Andrew j. Davis and
John Z. Davis, brothers Of the Chicago
men, live in Butte, Mont.
The settlement of the case was made after
long legal battle of which the long and
sensational trial was but an incident Rob-
ert e. lngersoll was of counsel for the con-
testants, while the opponents had seven at
torneys, the best in the northwest
Negotiations looking to the settlement
nave extended through three and half
years At every step both sides have fought
with all the methods the law allows
John A. Davis, the original opponent and
brother of Andrew j., was killed by falling
down flight of stairs in Victoria, b. c.,
last winter while the negotiations were in
progress. There was talk at the time that
he had been pushed down the stairway, but
II was proved that the death was accidental
With his death his claim in his brothers
estate went to his four sons who through
the recent settlement, have become Million
aires. The wealth Of Andrew J. Davis was
accumulated chiefly by the Montana smelt-
ing company, a large works of which he
was chief owner. Because of the recent de-
preston this property is considerably de-
creased In value. There are. however, many
other assets. including securities of the
best kind, and large real estate holdings in
massachusetts,. 1t is estimated that the
estate would bring at forced sale between
1900, 600 and 5000 600.

Valuable Find of a Diver.

A very important archaeological find
was made in November last, according
to the Philadelphia Ledger, in the
harbor of Saloniche by a diver in
search of sponges. When the diver
came up from the bottom Of the sea he
displayed a handful, not of sponges,
but of silver coins of a very antique
date. He turned over the coins to the
proprietor of the boat, who ordered
him back to find some more coins. He
went down to the bottom of the sea
several times in succession. finally
he found at the depth of about one
hundred feet an iron box, which con-
tanned nearly eighteen pounds Of sill
yer coin. The proprietor of the boat
made the seamen in his employ prom
Use to be silent. He made them some
presents in money, and the find re-
NAMED a secret for nearly three
months. Recently one of the seamen,
having quarreled with his master, be-
trayed the secret to the Greek govern
ment, and the latter compelled him to
produce the coins. They date back to
the days of ancient Macedonia, and
are ia an excellent state of preserva-
ton, showing the bust Of Alexander
the Great, holding in one hand the
scepter and in the other a bird, seem
ingly a falcon. The coins have been
turned over to the museum at Athansl

STOPPED HIS PENSION,

A Brave Disabled Soldier of Thirty
five Battles in the Navy and Caval-
ry Feels Hoke smiths Hand.
ANsoN1A, Aug. 6.-James Gillian of
Ninth street received notification from
the pension Office at Washington, July 30,
informing him that his pension of $40 a
month would be withheld pending an in
vestigation, which would bs made soon.
He had an application in the psnsion bu-
reau for one year before it was acted upon,
and he has been drawing the above amount
since June l, 1891. He was in the marine
corps four years and in the cavalry service
two years, holding the Office of sergeant.
He was with Admiral Farragut at the cap
ture of New Orleans and took part In thir-
ty-five battles. He was wounded in the
right ankle at Hatcher's Run and has had
q running sore on his, ankle for fourteen
years. It is now healed up but is painful
at times.
BE also has chest disease, contracted
during his service, and thinks he has not
been treated squarely in the matter, and Is
anxiously awaiting the result of the in
yestisation of the detective who Is now
working in this vicinity. Gillian is en-
ployed at Wallsce's in Ansonia and
claims that but for the leniency of the
mill owners he could not stand his work.
He must do something to support himself
and family, as even the ten dollars a
month pension which he has been de-
prived Of would not dsfray his living ex-
pensee.

There vas an Irregular Movement
ofPrices, and some Advances in tho
First Hour Reaction Before the
Close.
NEW York, Aug. 6.-The market made a ore
remarkable exhibition OF strength to-day than
yesterday. From the standpoint OF experience
aud tradition the bank statement ought to
have been overwhelming by the govern
ing force on prices and it was very unfavorable.
Prices had struggled irregularly up In the open
ing hour, a few stocks yielding on sales to take
speculative profits, but those with the largest
outstanding short interest scoring renewed ad-
vances; conspicuously General Electric Sugar
Certificates and Western Union. On the publ
cation of the statement all III ese gains were lost
but on the other hand no bear was bold enough
to head another charge. Instead, the instant re-
cession in prices was followed by an anxious
demonstration OF some smaller shorts 10 cover,
and their purchases at the lower level more
than Offset the realizing sales. The market,
therefore, closed irregular. There was indeed a
majority OF net declines; but there WAS more
than one actual advance, and the market as a
whole once more upset every expert prediction.
There was little news OF Importance, though the
Chicago dry goods failure OF yesterday WAS not
generally known until to-day. 1t was not, how
ever, any such disaster as had been predicted
more certificates.
Following are the closing prices, reported by
