The amateur billiard tournament for the
trophies offered by the Occidental Hotel

Company, opened last night in the rooms
OF the Occidental Hotel, introducing the
phenom enonal player, Mitchell, to Cali
fornia audience.
Mitchell is the new 'wiZard" who, al
though in the amateur ranks, has shown
a touch fully as delicate and accurate as
schaeffer, Vignaux, Ives and Slosson. He
and Heinecke arc rated as the best bill
lard d-players in this City, and are put
down as the scratch players in this tourna
ment. !.
The games last night were between
Burns and Thompson. the latter playing
250 points to Burns 225.
1t was evident that the handicap was too
heavy. as Thompson made but 24 points
to Burns 225
Burns best run was % and ThomDson's
1S, and the average was Burns 462,
Thompson 4.S2.
The losing man, having had one inning
less than his opponent, made the best
average, an excellent one for amateurs in
a 14-inch balklinc game.
The second came, between Mitchell, 300

D6ny Having DiSCnarReQ Union
Workmen From the Affiliated
Colleges Job.
In yesterdays CALL was a report of the
meeting of the Laborers' Protective Asso-
citation, at which it was stated that union
men had been compelled to quiz work at
the Affiliated Colleges and that it was the
evident intention of the Rae Building and
Contract Company, contractors, to give
the preference to non-union men. HI.
Whittle, the vice president OF the COM
pany, and f. Smith, the secretary, yester.
day denied that such was or is the case.
Mr.. Whittle said:
tine situation is this: We prefer union
men and we are paying them union
wages-hodcarriers So a day and brick
layers IS. Occasionally the regents and
our personal friends ask US to put some of
their friends to work, and frequently We
are not in q position 10 refuse their re-
quests. When we do put such men to
work we pay them what they are worth,
even full union rales if they are worth it.
Recently we put on some laborers who
do not not belong to the union, and the
union meE refused to Work with them.
Two union men quit on Tuesday morning.
They are fine workmen, and we were
sorry to have them leave US, for they had
b en- with us for long time. However,
we cannot afford to compel man to pay
$50 to be initiated into union when he is
only making from 81 to So day. We
don't want any trouble with the union,
but wo will hire whomever we please, but
we prefer union men to any Others"

ANOTHER RACE AGAINST DEATH.

Effort 10 Reach Homo Before
HIS Wife Died,

NEW YORK, N. Y, March l1.-Robert
Treat Payne. the Boston millionaire and
nthropist, passed through this city
yesterday on his chartered train from
Washington to Boston, where his wife lay
dying.
The train on which he travelled was
com posed of an engine and one car, fur
nished by the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad. The train met
him at Manassas, Va. and it is said accord
ing to the terms of his agreement with
the roilroad company he is to pay big
bonus for every minute chopped off the
record.
The run between Washington and Grays
Ferry, Pa, was covered in 13Z minutes
and the run of thlrty-four miles from Per-
ryvilie to Wilmington was made In thirty
minutes. Mr.. Payne arrived in Jersey
City at :O5 A. NJ. to-day.
He crossed the ferry to this city. where
carriage was in waiting, and be was
Station. He reached there at 2:26 A. NJ,
and special train which was in waiting
to take him to Boston started two minutes
later, orders having been given to the
engineer 10 try and beat the record
New Haven was reached at 6:54 A. NJ.
and Boston at A. NJ, the run having been
made five minute faster than the limited
express time. The cost of the service be-
tween New York and Boston was $500.
Mr.. Payne's trip was all in vain, for
Mrs Payne died yesterday.
The impatient traveller received the tele-
gram while his special was speeding
through Wilmington, Del, but he kept on
and reached his home as speedily as steam
could carry him.

When he fed he left a brother in the land

held as surety for his return.
This the servant was informed of yester-
day through letter he received from g
friend in ConstantinopIe who knew that
he was coming to this city. The letter
further stated that the brother had been

and asked that her husbands life be

"At that moment he received a knife

The scenes in the massacre districts
were heartrending Hundreds of people

Gustav Sutro, the capitalist. died at his

When he passed away he was sur
rounded by his family, which consists of

LINOOLN'S HAT A FOOTBALL.

TWAS After the Result Of the Electi on
Had Been Announced.
The favorIte hat worn by Abraham Lin
coin was tall "stoveplpe." 1t had been
described as foot high. with a brim
almost as wide as a Southern sombrero.
Many anecdotes are connected with that
famous tall hat. In it Mr.. Lincoln carried
many of his valuable papers, the briefs of
his law cases and other documents
On the nj ht of Mr.. Lincoln's election
to the Pres dency, several ladies who had
gathered at the old homestead at Spring
field testified their glee by using the hat
as ball
A few of US went over to assist Mrs.
Lincoln about the supper which was to be
given some gentlemen who had come in
to hear the returns. 1t was alter midnight
before enough had been learned to warrant
the belief that our candidate was elected.
We went nearly wild with Joy and con-
graduated Mr.. Lincoln most heartily.
Some one saw the famous "stovepipe"
in the hall, and seizing it threw it up to
the ceiling. Another caught It. and then
it went the rounds until il fell to the floor,
when one gave it kick, and then another

TROUBLE AHEAD IN
LABOR CIRCLES
Large jobs Declared Unfair
by the Trades
Council.
Non. Union Men Are Working
on the New Affiliated
Colleges.
High School, Hall of Justice, Ferry
Depot and City Hall Are Also
Under the Ban.

When the spring opens there will with
out doubt be decided i'm mprovement in
the building lines that will furnish en-
ploy ment to large numbers OF working
men. The Affiliated Colleges, the ferry
depot, the Hall of Justice, the High
School and perhaps the new Post office, to
say nothing of many large and small pri-
vate structures, give hope for prosperous
year in many respects.
However accompanying these bright
prospects there is also a prospect of
trouble ahead. Several of the big build
ings mentioned are slready under con-
struc ton and the clouds have begun to
gather in labor circles.
The first complaint was made by the
LaLorers' Protective Association at its
meeting held on Wednesday evening, at
which it was stated that non-union labor
ers are being employed on the Affiliated
Colleges buildings.
Last evening at the meeting of the
Building Trades Council this matter was
brought up by the newly seated delegates
from the Laborers Protective Union.
Other delega es reported the High School,
Hall of Justice, ferry depot ana the City
Hall roofing a. unfair jobs. They stated
that non-union men are at work on all of
these places and that union men have
little or no chance with the contractors.
The latter, the delegates said, are taking
advantage OF the army of unemployed and
unorganized W b CHI is now in the City 10
give the unions q fight or al least to DEFY
the unions claims Tor consideration.
The council, however, decided not to
take any hasty action in the premises and
do anything that might have to be un-
done or regretted later on. In order 10
proce ed with care committee consisting
OF w. M. Page, L. F. Danforth and ]. Jor-
gensen was appointed to make careful
Investigation, and j. 7. McCann was ap-
pointed as a special representative of the
council to assist the committee and to in
vestigate on his own account. Mr.. Nc
Cam will gather statistics upon all labor
matters pertaining to these several jobs
and make report next Thursday even
ing, when action will be taken by the
council
The employment OF non- union men on
the colleges and ferry building will be
called to he attention of Governor Budd
and the Board Of Regents by the council,
and the request will be made thar work be
done by union men for union wages and
on tie legal time-eight hours.
The same course will be taken with
reference to the High School and the Hall
of Justice.
While all of these proceedings will be
carried on in quiet, earnest manner they
ale also significant. During the troubles
OF last spring and summer the workmen
of this City became we'll organized, and
to-day the unions are in a better position
financially ana as to mem bers than they
were year ago. Unless an amicable un-
derstanding is arrived at before very long
it is not unlikely that the unions Will take
firm stand in demanding their rights.
