LIAR and ROBBER.
Those Are the Epithets
Croker Hurls Upon
Nazet

New York, Nov. When Mr.. Croker
arrived at Tammany Hall today, a COPY
OF a speech made last night by Assem-
blyman Mazet was shown him, in which
Mr.. Mazet was quoted as saying that
Mr.. Croker went t1 the Consolidated
Gas company when Amsterdam Gas was
quoted at 80, and wanted to sell his
stock at 50, promising his support of the
Astoria bill if they would buy
We'll, Mazet is liar" said Mr., Gro
ker, and every other person who says
that Is liar And you can say from me
that Mazet is robber Only a robber
would introduce such bill as he did. /"
Mr.. Croker was then shown a copy of
the statement made by Gen. Tracy be-
fore the Mazet committee, that if Mr..
Croker said, though Gen. Tracy did not
believe he had, that the firm of Tracy,
Boardman & Plat had sent large
sums of money to Albany to influence
Legislation, Mr. Croker had uttered a
grave falsehood
II said that, and say it now" said
Mr. Croker with emphasis.
81 don't think Gen. Tracy knows much
about his firm. 1 think the firm puts
him to sleep. Gen. Tracy is a nice old
man, and l don't want to say anything
a6eSAHSt 4iliiL' but ne uOesn huOW every
thing that is going on. He is getting old
and does not know that he is alive He
is only in the firm to lend a shade of re-
spectability to it. The other two fellows
arc, the pets"
Many witnesses were brought before
the Mazet committee today, but the
most prominent was Gen. Benjamin F.
Tracy and John D. crimmins, who gave
some pertinent testimony. Gen. Tracy
was asked a great number of things
which Mr.. Hoffman had made note Of.

oSLOSSON WINS OUT.
''Student" Bests the
wizard" in the
Series.
SCORE, 900 TO 757.
Long Runs We're Scarce
and Average Was
Low.

New~Y ork. Nov 1.-"Student" Slosson
won the big professional billiard match
which ended at the Madison Square
Garden tonight, Schaefer being beaten
by 900 points to ISL. slossom tonight
again outplayed the Chicago expert by
300 points against 262 and he therefore
increased the advantage which he held
when play began by SO caroms, and
finally ended with a lead of 143. Slos-
sons average for the full 900 points was
a shade over Az and his best run of the
match 81. Schaefer exceeded this run
twice, making Al and 80 in tonights
play. His average, however, was a little
under for the full game
The attendance tonight was over 400.
At first it looked as if the Wizard" was
going to make a close finish of it. He
picked up after his first miss, and then
got the worries rolling smoothly for him
and rapidly clicked off big run. As
the referees call grew higher and high
err the crowd watched the play with
GREATNESS attention and there was gem
eral disappointment when Schaefer
missed his fortieth carom. As it was,
however. he had gathered in what was
then the best run of the match. In the
meantime, Slosson's deadly angles were
helping steadily and his misses We're
scarce. In five successive innings he
gathered in 10, 8, Il, and IL, but then
failed and began to crack a few goose
eggs"
Jake ran into calm, too, and it
seemed impossible for him to get the
balls together for any big run. He
scored eleven ciphers in % inings, AT
the Both inning the Student" had in
creased his lead to 1856 points and
Schaefer was growing desperate. He
seemed careless before, but now he set
tied down with a determined expression
on his face and soon had the balls roll
ing favorably again. Only a few deli
cate caroms at a time could he get, but
each time his drives for a neat gather
and position was successful, and the
ivories were together first in one cor
ner and then another
The break added up rapidly and great
applause greeted the expert when he
passed the high run mark, 80. But two
earoms later, the Wizard" carelessly
fouled the white ball with his cue after
he had coutned on short draw. The OBJ
ject balls rolled together in excellent
position to conJinIe the run indefinitely.
but the foul shut OF the run. The total.
Al however, was the biggest of the
match.

SILVER RECLAIMED.
Valuables Recovered From
Wreck Of the
Chicago.

New York, Nov. 1.-Two divers were
at work at the bottom Of the Hudson
river today searching the sunken wreck
of the ferry boat Chicago, while above
water the derricks of three wrecking
barges We're tearing the superstructure
from the main body. The divers
brought to the surface most of the sill
yer lost by the Adams Express Com
Dany.
This evening nothing remained of the
ferry boat but the hull machinery and
upper deck, which was prevented from
floating away by the smokestack and
walking beam. The men were engaged
in passing a cable under the ferry boat
and tomorrow the work of removing
the boat will begin. Inquiry at the
Pennsylvania railroad office elected the
fact that the fireman of the Chicago is
still missing.
The mail from the van on the sunken
ferry boat, which was recovered last
night, was spread out to dry at the
general postoffice all night, and con-
siderable portion was in condition for
delivery this morning. Much of it,
however, needed further drying. The
packages were mostly intact and the
contents were little damaged, except for
the soaking which rendered a few adj
dresses almost undecipherable.

GOOD TRIAL.
Under Adverse Circum-
stances, Big Battleship
Makes Good Showing.

Newport News, Nov. 1.-The battle
ship Kentucky, sister ship of the Kear-
sarge, which had such a successful tri-
al in September, went out on her
builders trial yesterday, despite a
northeast hurricane which had been
raging for thirty-six hours, and acquit-
ted herself in a way which leaves no
doubt that she will prove a powerful
addition to the navy. The start was
not made on time, owing to the unfav-
orable weather conditions. Outside
cape Henry the trial proper began. 1t
was in no way a speed trial, for the
Kentucky was launched q year ago last
August, and has not entered a dry dock
since and her bottom is foul.
The number Of revolutions per min
ute averaged from 70 to so during the
greater pant OF the trip, while at the
official speed run off Cape Ann next.
month they will probably be from 10.
to 100. AT the former gait the speed
yesterday was from IL to 13 knots an
hour.
A thorough test of the steering ap-
paratus was made and of the speed in
turning. The Kentucky can be steered
by telemotor, wire rope or hand gear,
and thorough tests of the first two me-
tHOuS gave every Satisfaction. Inc
hand gear was not tried Running into
the heavy seaway at high speed, the
Kentucky went twenty miles outside
the capes, and under forced draught
made an average of 1874 knots. accord
ing to the log, in the face of a wind
that was blowing about fifty miles an
hour and in the heaviest kind of sea.
At this speed the engine showed 100
revolutions with 40 pounds of steam.
This showing is the better because in
shallow water. The maximum pitch
Of the Kentucky was three degrees, and
the maximum roll Is degrees to star
board, or on the weather side, and 16
degrees to port showing that the Ken
lucky will furnish an excellent gun
platform. The ship returned to
Hampton Roads last night.
The Kentucky is an excellent dupli-
cate of the Kearsarge, and made her
trip in the same condition as the lat
ter her entire main battery of fmr 49,
inch, and four S-inch guns being in
place. Captain C. NJ. Chester, who will
command her, was aboard, as were
also several other of her future officers.
The builders were represented by Gen
eral superintendent Walter A. Post, M
V. D. Doughty, superintendent of hull
construction; James Rowbottom, sup
erintendent of machinery department,
and c. F. Bailey, desiging engineer.
The Kentucky will leave for her official
trial off Cape Ann about Nov. ID, and
| it is considered certain that she will
make over II knots.

WeStboros Continue
to Lose Away
From Home.
SHERWOODS WIN IN LAST GAME.
Visitors Led in the Match
Until a Black Cat
Was Freed.

The second OF the series of matches
between the Sherwood and Westboro
candiepin teams was rolled at the Sher-
wood alleys last evening, and the home
team won. The Westboros We're in the
lead when the last game of the match
was begun, but fell off badly, not one
Of the first four getting an so string.
Three of the Sherwoods, on the con-
trary, rolled a better game than they
had during the match, Mccain putting
only two more men to roll. The West
boros led by 10 pins, when the game
was begun, but when it was finished
the Sherwoods had overtaken them and
left them 2S pins behind on the grand
total
The Westboros lead, however, on to-
tai pins by which the victory will be
decided. In the first match, which was
rolled on The Westboro alleys, the
country bowlers won by 1902 pins, which
keeps them in the lead by "a pins.
Westboro has never won a match away
from home and the hoodoo stuck close
last evening. They had the best of a
close game until the very last, when
the black cat got loose and ran across
the alley.
Everything went against them, nei-
ther team did anything remarkable in
the line of bowling. as the score shows.
Staples of Westboro had high single
and high total, but It wasn't high
enough to be out of sight. The pins
cut out rather poorly which caused
frequent exclamations of disgust from
the bowlers, but there was wretched
bowling at single pins and small
punches. A part of the bad shooting
was undoubtedly attributable to the
fact that new balls were used which
slipped from the grasp of the bowlers
Of both teams. The score Of the match

Mr.. V. w. Washburn and son
and Mr.. Tom Logan had quite a
wet experience coming to town
Thursday. They were driving up
the new railway grade which they
found INSTRUCTED at McMartin's
camp by the result of big blast that
had just been touched off. They
Undertook to drive round the
obstruction, through the water. The
water was deeper than expected
and soon the horses were swimming
and the wagon bed floating. V. w.
caught hold of a horses tail and
was dragged out while young Mr..
Washburn easily swan to shore,
but Tom was reserved for more
i humorous fate. 1t was not cass
of sink or swim" with him. He
could do neither. He couldn't
swim and owing to his size and
rotundity he hoated and bobbed ur
and down like a cork. His com
panions simply sat on log by the
shore and waited until waves drift
ed him onto the beach. The wagon
WINS fshed out letter and the journey
