phaIt COMPANY.


New York, Jan. 3-The Herald tomor-
row will say: The appellate division of The
supreme court has handed down a decis-
ion in the suit of Gen. w. W. Averell
against AMI L. Barber and Others

S70O,OOO as his share in the profits of the
Barber Asphalt Paving Company, on con-
tracts for paving in this and many other
cities. When the final accounting of the
profits Of the company is made it is ex-
pected that the generals share will run
into the millions.
After retiring from the army Gen. Az
erell became interested IN asphalt paving
and patented various processes. He be-
came connected with the American AS
phat Paving Company. with A. l.. Barber
and others, in 1881 and had in his employ
a Belgian named Smedt, who had pat
ented several processes. Smedt sold these
patents to Barber, and Immediately there
AFTER the company was disbanded and the
Barber Asphalt Company succeeded IL
new company, and in 1883 began an ac-
ton to recover profits made by the Barber
company. A referees findings in favor of
Averell were confirmed by Judge Law

the appellate division. The referee had al

President York said there would be no

Of discovering disorderly houses That

but we expect you to brelk up such

gambling or social. The impression has
gone abroad through the public prints
that the incoming Of this board meant
that there would be an open city. There
will be none, SO far as this department
is concerned, but we want the laws

HARVARD NEWS.
Physical Training for the Freshmen to Be
Introduced.


Cambridge, Jan. 3.-A pronounced in
novation is likely to be introduced at
Harvard within the near future, in the
shape of a prescribed course of physical
training for freshmen. A number of
plans have been suggested, but the one
which meets the most approval from the
members Of the faculty committee on
physical training, is system which
provides for a compulsory physical eX-
animation, and a prescribed course of
gymnastics for three hours a week dur
ing the freshman year,
The plan will remain open to discus
sion for some time longer, but will prob
ably be adopted in its essential features
next year.
The seasons base ball practice at
Harvard was given a start this evening,
when IS men answered Captain Rand S
call for battery candidates. The outloC k
at present Is far from encouraging, as
there is no new material to make up for
the loss of C. j. Paine, '97, and D. d.
Scanned, who were the strength of last
years winning team The two mines
which were picked from candidates who
came out for the fall practice will begin
work after the mid-year examinations in
February.
Interest in the Harvard ice hockey
team has been much increased by the
announcement that the athletic commit
tee has granted permission for series
of games with the Yale and Brown uni
versity teams. There will be two games
with each team, the Yale games to be in
Cambridge and New Haven, and those
with Brown in Cambridge and Provi-
dence. The dates are not yet arranged,
Twenty men are now trying for the Har.
ward team, which is already organized
with F. G. Goodridge, '9S, as captain.

AMONG THE eoWLERs.
Casino League ORGANIZED at the casin
Gllevs

GlleVS
The Casino Bowling League was or
ganized last night at the Casino alleys
There will be eight teams in the league
and they will roll for five gold watches
and a smoking set to go to the highest
individual bowler. Each member of the
winning team will win one of the
watches which Mccain, the manager OF
the Casino alleys says will be worth a
oO spot. The teams entered in the
league are the Belmonts, Capt. Wyman
Bachelors, Capt Fay; Normals, Capt
Carberry; LeSeuls, Capt. McGratty
Worcester Markets, Capt Kendrick
Highlands. Capt. LaChappelle; Waiver
lys, Capt, LOOMS; and Echoes, Capt
Maple. The rules of the City Bowling
League have been adopted. There will
be meeting of the captains of the
teams at the Casino alleys Friday night
to arrange the schedule of games and
complete the organization. Capt. Fay
has been elected chairman of the league
and Capt. Loomis secretary.
THE BABIES CHALLENGED.
The Sherwood House candle pin bowl
ing team has issued a challenge to the
Babies. the winners of the city bowling
tournament to roll a match for 5000 a
side. Captains Hilbert and Doran OF
the Babies and the Sherwoods will meet
tonight at Whites alleys, and the Ba-
bies will then decide whether or not to
accept the challenge. 1t IS more than
likely that the champions will accept
the challenge and get into practice al
once for their big contest. The Sher-
woods and the champions have met sew
eral times in tournament and in pri-
Vate matches, but the Babies have won
every time. Notwithstanding this, the
Sherwoods are Of the opinion that they
can win match, and have backed UP
their opinions with the cold cash. If the
Babies roll against their old rivals this
time, there will be an effort to enlist the
services of Munsey and Willard, two OF
the old timers, who have been allied
with the champions. The Sherwoods
will materially strengthen their team
and there will be a battle royal when
the giants meet.
THE LONG DISTANCE MEN.
Capt. Hennessey of the winthrop
bowling team is after fame and in
cidentally few ducats as a long-dis-
lance bowler. He has posted a forfeit
of $25 to meet Frank Norton, the 12-
hour champion, who Is understood to be
looking for new worlds to conquer in
the realm of long-distance bowling
Hennessey is one of the strongest bowl
ers in the city, and will give Norton a
good battle; but the friends of the 12-
hour champion are confident that he
can successfully defend his title against
the Winthrop man. There is likely tC
be meeting of the representatives OF
the two men in few days to make ar
engagements for the match.
COOPER'S TEAM WON.
In the bowling tournament of the St
Matthew'S Bowling Association, Mon.
day evening, Cooper's team beat Coley's
by the highest score of the season, the
totals being 225O to PITS. Jenkins bowleo

Manager Offner Surprises Himself and
Everybody with the Best Show Yet.
That there are uncertainties in theat-
ricals as well as in everything else, was
experienced by Manager Offner at the BIZ
jou Monday night, with the gratifying re-
suit that he secured a prize without ex-
pecting it. The present weeks list of art
lists was obtained through different agen-
cfeS at comparatively moderate eXpendi-
ture, the intention being to rest little
between the lavish OUTLAWS of the past
few times and the elaborate and expen-
Slve attraction that is coming next week.
But the genial managers luck or his dis
erection was in the ascendant, for when
the curtain went down Monday, it fell on

fairly good, and Lew Benedict. while he
met with a most cordial reception, con-
nned his jokes and remarks to those that
used to go best in the old days when he
had troupe of his own. Then came the
Harbecls. While William was tying him
self up in bowknots and performing other
feats known to contortionists on his half
OF the stage, Kitty was, juggling silver
slack wire on hers, and together they
pleased the crowd immensely. Tegge and

which was equal to Jerome's work.
Hommann, the magician, was an expert
funmaker as we'll as a clever prestidigi-
tateur, and his patter was fully as anus
ing as his skill. Hayes and Bandy's dane
ing, was revelation in the line of difficult
and, eccentric steps. They were recalled
again and again. The French Devenes

Annie Whitney sang twice and sprang
some new jokes in her inimitable style,
and then came the gems of the evening,
the musical comedians Bogert and Obj,

cts, producing everything from a parSor
table to an eight-day clock, the elaborate
and ingenious paraphernalia invented and
used by the pair, their jokes and their
novel and melodious instruments, have

The knowledge of Mr.. Camps trans

BOSTON INTEREST RATES.

Boston, Jan. 3.-The action of many

with reference to probable future in

Boston savings banks.
The fact seems to have been lost sight
of that for the past three years the
large Boston savings banks nave not
paid more than 31@ per cent, with per-
haps two exceptions, the Boston Five
Cents and the Home banks, and these
banks have only come back to 4 per

These banks will probably come down
to 315 ner cent basis this year, as it
is generally conceded by savings bank
people that earnings Of the banks this
year will be less than in 1897.
