NEW YORK, April Madison Square
Garden was crowded tonight by a representa-
tive audience of billiard lovers, eager to see
Frank Ives and Jake Schaefer cross cues for
the first time at the 1S-inch balk line game.
Ives won the break and chose the white ball.
The first good work of the evening
complished in the fifth inning Ives failed to
score, but Schaefer played very pretty billiards
and forged ahead rapidly. When he had
made so by good all-around play, he was
3oudly applauded, and the applause was re-
newed when the scorer called II. Schaefer's
best run on Monday night was rs, and he had
thus beaten his previous highest run. His
ninety-seventh shot, difficult masse, was
beautifully executed and the audience cheered
roundly. There was another outburst when
Jake passed the century mark He kept on
until he had lis buttons, and after failing on
a long two-cushion shot, gave way to Ives,
who was just 10 points behind, the score
standing, Schaefer, 1853; Ives, 4S.
Ives. by a succession of draws and gather
ing shots in the sixth inning, put up
5Oand continued until his seventy fourth shot,
a difficult attempt to bank off two emissions for
q carom. His cue ball passed between the red
and white, missing both by the narrowest Of
margins. Schaefer's sixth brought out some
of the prettest work that he ever accomplish
ed, and although he only made &C. the inning
was more replete with brilliant plays than
the preceding one.
In the tenth inning Ives scored 20 points and
Schaefer failed to score. The champion struck
fast gait in the eleventh and very quickly
his nerve and ran out the game with an I'M
finished break of 1O3 amid a good deal of ex-
element and cheering at the end of the last
play. Summary:

VI.
Col. P. Donan, the celebrated newspaper
correspondent, in a recent letter had the fol-
lowing to say about the scenery on the Balti-
more Ohio Railroad:
More glorious panoramas Of sublimity and
beauty cannot be found this side Of the Rocky
Mountains than those that unroll themselves
to the enchanted tourist at Harper's Ferry,
all along the crag walled windngs of Cheat
River, on the Potomac and MonongaheIa and
in the romantic valley of the Shenandoah
1t is all historic ground. In the old engine
house at Harper's Ferry John Brown began
the mighty four years war-the last, it is to
be hoped, this generation of Americans will
ever see. All along the majestic Potomac the
hostile camp fires blazed. Washington, the
nations capital, was the prize for which a.
million embattled men strove through four
years of fire and blood. The whole line
through Maryland and Virginia is dotted with
places whose names have rung throughout the
world Nearly every station was a battle
field, or the scene of a skirmish or raid, or
some exploit of heroism or hardihood that
has gone into the history or the songs of
nation.
Its Royal Blue trains between Washin gton
and New York are the fastest regular flyers
in America, and are unsurpassed in elegance
in all terrestrial creation. They combine every
extravaganza of righteousness that can be put
on wheels, with the speed of the wind and
the safety of standing still. Though the aver
age running rate is about fifty miles an hour,
so perfect are all the appointments Of tracks,
engines and cars, and so ceaseless the care
and vigilance, that there has never been an
accident in all the years since these paragons
of palatial wheeling began to flash between the
metropolis and the capital. They are Royal
trains indeed, with this exception-that the
old world royalty never Travelled in anything
compared with them"

TENEMENT HOUSE HORROR.
Ten People SuffOcated in the Italian
Quarter of Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, April Ten persons persisted
by suffocation in a Brooklyn tenement house
fire early today. The names of the victims
are as follows:
AUGUST BUNO, wife and two children.
LENA CALABIA, eighteen years old.
NICOLA TRALIA, eighty years.
LENA TRALIA, twenty-four years.
DOMINICK TRALIA, twenty-four years.
BABY TRALIA eighteen days DID,
CORNELIA MARETTI, twenty-eight years
old.
The fire started in the lower hallway of the
building, which is a four-story tenement in
Union street, and before the sleeping tenants
could be warned of their danger, all escape
was cut off. The flames swept up the stair
ways and the rooms were quickly filled with
smoke. The tenants were suffocated in their
beds. The section of the city where this dis
aster occurred is near the water front. The
majority of the residents are Italians of the
poorer class. and they form the biggest
colony of their race in Brooklyn. The fremen
succeeded in getting the fire under control
after short time. The damage to the build
ing is estimated at $4,000. There were many
exciting incidents connected with the fire.
One man, an Italian, whose name is unknown,
jnmped from a window in the third story and
escaped with only few burns and bruises.
After the fire had been extinguished, John
Calabia was found unconscious. He had gotten
out OF second story window completely
exhausted that he could go no further. He
will recover. His wife was dead in her apart
ments. Subsequently nine other bodies were
found. When he had somewhat rallied from
the effects Of suifocation and heat Calabia
told the story Of how he escaped and left
his wife behind without tremor, and while
he seemed to be still somewhat dazed, he had
a clear conception Of the events of the night
Later he said that he tried to carry his wife
to the window, but could not, and hurt his
hands in getting out. In most cases death was
due to suffocation. The bodies of the Buno
family, who lived on the top floor, were found
huddled together, showing that the family
woke during the fire and made efforts to
escape. Fire Chief Dale expresses the opinion
that the fire was the work of an incendiary
He says that the iremen did not know that
there was anybody in the house until after the
fire had been extinguished.
