not obey the order until now. Capt. Davis. Sec
rotary Herbert said. was not compelled to make
any oficial visit to the Mayor. and there was

The Ciub House Leased to the Cabs
F0rner Caterer.


After fighting against q fate which seems TO
have pursued 1t continuously for years, the Stat
en- Island Athletic Club has reached the stage
where it will probably give up the battle and re-
sign itself to the inevitable.
The club at present is practically dispossessed.
its club house having been leased without an
effort by the club to prevent it. The fact be-
came known yesterday that the club house had
been leased TO l.; Hugot. who was the caterer to
the club. Mr.. Hugot intends opening 1t as a
public club. He has also leased the grounds
surrounding the club house. together with the
furnishings in the club house.
The troubles OF the club date back for years.
Al one time II was one of the strongest clubs in
the vicinity OF this, city, and was the resort
OF wealthy men and Of champion athletes of
every kind. Gradually this state OF things
changed. There was a gradual falling OF, In the
membership, and the wealthy patrons did not
frequent its halls as formerly. The clubs affairs
went from bad to worse. The officers made heroic
efforts to keep II up TO its old-time prestige, but
and hospitality had been dispensed with such "a
liberal hand that at the end OF . few years the
club found itself AT the point of bank ruptcy.
Yesterday afternoon the old sign bearing the
clubs name was taken from the tree TO which IL
had been nailed for years and set aside.

SUING THE ATCHISON COMPANY.
The Prescott and Arizona Central Com
PIaIns That Il Was InfaIrly Treated.

The Prescott and Arizona Central Railway
Company filed in the United States Circuit
Court yesterday a complaint in a suit against
the Atchison, Topeka and santa Fe Railroad
Company to recover S.. 100000. 1t is alleged
that the defendant company by contracts in
1885 and 1893 with the Atlantic and Pacific
and the Prescott. Santa Fe and Arizona and 9TH
err roads attempted to deprive the complainant
of its business In violation of the Interstate
Commerce act. The complainant declares that
its earnings last year were s363.90, and this
year nothing, being Obliged TO discontinue in
September. Its actual loss, II claims, Is S2,75O,-
900. and II sues for 81. $50, 600 damages.
The Prescott and Arizona Central Railroad
Company defaulted on its first mortgage bonds
on July /, 1893. and w. y. Kelly was made re-
ceiver. 7. S. Bullock was President and gen.
eral manager and V. A. Wilder one Of the di-
rectors. Some of the bonds of the company are
among the assets of the wrecked Madison, square
Bank. Officials of the Atchison, Topeka and
santa Fe Railroad company who were seen yes
terday were disposed TO ridicule the suit. They
said that IL was perfectly true that they had
sent business over the rival line where it was TO
the interest of the AtchisOn Company To do so,
but that all goods billed over the Prescott and
Arizona Central by the shipper had been deliv-
cred 10 II.
