DOWNED THE WIZARD.
slosson Wins the First Game Of the
Boston Tournament

BOSTON, Feb. 7.-Several hundred bill
lard devotees. including the mayor Il ne
city, saw George L. Slosson defeat Jacob
Schaeffer by a score of GOO to 247 tonight
at the first of the tournament games
to be played here by the three great bill
lard experts-Schaeffer Ives and Slosson
for a stake of 81, 500. The game was a
rather ordinary one and its feature
was the careless playing of the wizard.
His greatest runs were two of % points
each Slosson's work was careful but not
brilliant. His biggest run was 92 points.
John Murphy refereed the game. The
game was fourteen-inch balk line, with
anchor shots barred.
Schaffer won the bank for the lead and
started in by making common shot and
slipping upon an easy one. The student
was nervous and missed his first attempt.
Schaefer then ran 8, getting this number
by sheer luck. Slosson was still nervous,
and missed again The wizard then cap
tured 8 more points by a series of
brilliant plays, and then, carelessly,
slipped up. Slosson. although agi-
tated and pale, managed to run 4.
Schaffer made Z. The student then made
a great series of gathers and rolled up n
and then lost on an easy carom. The next
feature was run by Siosson OF 92
and Schaeffer got ratified and
made nothing. Soon after the
student made another good-sized
run 50, and it was apparent the wizard
was defeated. In spite OF his efforts and
some brilliant work the balls did not roll
right, and Slosson was 3 2 points ahead of
his opponent

CHICAGO, Feb. 7-Zella Nicolaus, who
has become notorious through her alleged
dealings with George Gould, had lively
time with constable at the Victoria

This morning when a constable appeared
at their apartments, Ruhman said he
wonld like to settle, but had only $47 in
cash. The constable threatened to
carry off the ladies' wardrobe
which lay exposed in the open
trunks. Mrs. Ruhman protested vigor-
ously aud Mr.. Ruhman intimated to the
constable that he would be compelled to
shoot him if the officer Of the law
did not make himself scarce. The
constable reported the matter to
the hotel people, who invited the guests to
leave. The Ruhmans promptly sent their
baggage down stairs, and the con-
stable seized the biggest trunk.
After another hot quarrel Zslla paid over
500 and without waiting for her change,
ordered her trunk sent to the Lake Shore
depot, saying that she was going to take
the 4 O'Clock train for New York.

SILVER DEPRESSED.

NEW YORK, Feb. 7'-The Evening Posts
special financial cablegram from London says:
1.-THE fall of silver rupee paper and Indian
exchange monopolizes attention in financial
circles here. The India council sold today
eight lacs of rupees in telegraphic transfers
at IA 1-32 pence. This indicates that the
council will allot practically at any rate the
market tenders. Silver was quoted at 20 13-l6
pence, and the forward quotation was only
291a pence. There is utterly despondent
feeling in the silver market, but it is not
thought that the India mines will reopen.
THE stock markets were idle today.
"The board of trade returns, just issued,
show little sign of the depressed movement in
trade. There are Indications, nevertheless, Of
q revival in the near future.

LEASE VS.. IEWElLING.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. THE case OF
Mary E Lease, wherein the right OF
Governor Lewelling to remove her rs a
member of the state board of charities
is questioned. was submitted to the su-
preme court today, and taken under ad-
visement.
The defense claimed that the petition OF
the plaintiff did not allege facts sufficient
to constitute cause of action; that there
was no vacancy at the time OF Mrs. Leases
appointment by the governor. Mr. Hagan,
for Mrs. Lease, argued that the petition
was sufficient, and that the court should
take judicial notice of the senate journal
aud other public records relative to the
appointment. Less than an hour was con-
sumed in the argument, and the court
took the case under advisement

wrestling matches, football games, base

athletic and acrobatic feats and never
enter a complaint. Still history records
the instant death of players on football
fields: arms and legs have broken at
wrestling; jockeys have been thrown out
of the saddle and killed or seriously
manned. Still no outcry has been raised
against these branches of sport and teats
of endurance. Why should pugilism be
picked out for a particular mark? The
idea seems to prevail that blood is point
to be striven for by both men. That is
not the case We fight to win. A little
blood is necessarily spilled, but not more

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Share speculation on
the stock exchange was stagnant during the
greater part of the day, the dealings being In
the hands of the board traders, who are not
inclined to operate very heavily on either
side of the market at this juncture. Com
mission houses report an absolute oeartn OF
orders, and the London houses added very
little to the transactions. Fortunately lor the
stability of values, there is quite large short
interest in the market, which is more dis
posed to cover than to extend its lines, and
consequently the pressure to sell is not heavy,
and were it not for the industrials, the deal
ings would have been very small indeed TO-
day.
OF the industrials, Sugar was the most ac-
tive. selling up lss per cent in the earlier
dealings. The buying was for pool, which
later in the day retired as purchasers, where
upon the price sagged off Ii per cent, leaving
a gain of % per cent. Distillins made an ad-
vance of q per cent on the day, the close pe-
ing u per cent below the highest point touch
ed The buying was on orders from WASH
ington and the west.
ST. Paul was second on the list OF transac-
tions but fuctuated within l per cent, ad-
vancing A per cent early and dropping per
cent in the later trading, closing at the lowest
point. The question of the next DIVIDEND Is
being again discussed, the Burlington div1-
dend also being considered in doubt. A bos-
ton dispatch to a local financial agency as
serted that the directors of the last-named
company would meet in Boston next week,
and declare the usual dividend of ~ per cent.
Burlington lost q per cent on the day. West
ern Union was well held until after delivery
hour, when a drive was made on the stock,
based on the report that the statement of the
company for the quarter ending March 81
will show a material decrease in earnings.
An early advance had been scored, from
which drop of 2ls per cent was made. with
only recovery of Is per cent at the close.
The general market was fairly firm through :
out the morning and during the first part OK
the afternoon, but during the last three
quarters of an hour was quite heavy and
closed weak.
A strong tone characterized the dealings in
the bond market until late in the day, when a
reaction took place, but in the final stage the
market became firm again.

ANOTHER WORLDS EAlR FIRE.

CHICAGO, Feb. THE agricultural build
ing at the fair grounds was slightly dam
aged by fire this afternoon. The fire was
discovered in the southeast corner inside
the building. but was extinguished before
it did much damage After the fire was
out section of glass about 100 feet long
fell from the roof, narrowly missing
a number of fireman who were passing
underneath. There were only about three
carloads of exhibits in the building. and
they were at no time in danger The fire
is believed to have been of incendiary
origin, as earlier in the day blaze was
discovered in pile of rubbish close to the
building.
The first fire was promptly extinguished
without damage. The second fire started
in portion of the building where it could
not possibly have originated without HUI
man agency. The buildings are very lightly
guarded now there being only three men
allowed to the agricultural building.
