NOVEL GAME OF CARDS
Pingpong Euchre Combines
Two Popular Pastimes.
INVENTION OF A BROOKLYN MAN

The Newest Social Diversion IS
Played Like Ordinary Euchre With
the Exception of the Moving ana
COunting-Tables Arranged In Sec
4iOns Designated as American and
English Courts.
Pingpong euchre, novel game In
vented by William A. Phillips of
Brooklyn, was inaugurated the other
night at reception given at the Hotel
st. George, says the Brooklyn Citi-
zen Many guests engaged in the
game or witnessed it, and large num-
Der of prizes rewarded the winners
About $50 persons played, four at each
table, which was covered with green
baize Two green sticks were placed
at opposite corners, between which
net was extended. On one stick rested
a pingpong bat and on the other some
times an English flag and at other
times an American flag. The greatest
interest was manifested from first to
last in the proceedings.
Pingpong euchre is played the same
as ordinary euchre, with the exception
of the moving and counting. Ten
games, called set, are played on la
bles, hereafter to be known by the
name of courts Each court is defend
ed by four players, who play as part
ners for the defense of that court, to
which they are assigned during the en-
tire set.
The tables are arranged in sections,
designated as American and English
pingpong courts. The moving or pro-
crossing is done from the American to
the English sections and vice versa ac-
eording to the directions on the card
laid down by the referee before each
game.
The moving of the visiting couple
4ilat is, the couple who are to visit a
foreign cOurt-takes place at the sound
of a whistle. The visiting couples take
the cards with them, and when all WIS.,
1ting couples have reached their desti-
nations play begins at the sound of a
bell and stops immediately at the
sound of a whistle.
The counting of each court is done
by the use of pingpong ball, hung on
the net of each court by the referee
during the progress of the game. The
individual counting is done by the
punching of the tallies at the end of
the game. The winning couple are en-
titled to the ball and after having
their taliies punched they return to
their home court at the sound of a
whistle and hang the ball on the net
Of their court. This ball scores for the
entire table or court.
The following are the rules: First,
six minute games; second. lone hands
count two; third, If you order your
partner up, you play it alone; fourth,
no assisting: fifth, stop playing imme-
diately at the sound of the bell; sixth,
the player having the highest number
Of points wins. Each player in the
court having the highest number Of
pingpong balls on its net is entitled to
q prize. drawn for in the order of the
highest number of punches on the tai
lies.

MORTALITY SHOT CAPTAIN.
Norfolk, Va, Notorman Too Quick for
an Irate Husband

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 10.-Captain VIM
field Scott Tucker, of the Merritt &
Chapman Wrecking company's service,
who had charge of the expedition
which attempted to tow the captured
Spanish cruiser Maria Theresa from
Cuba to Hampton Roads at the close of
the Spanish American war, which ex-
pedition resulted in the strandng of
the cruiser on Cat Island, was shot
and fatally wounded here to-day by j.
M. Cahoon, an electric car motorman.
Cahoon formerly boarded with the
Tookers and later Tooker and his wife
separated This afternoon as Cahoon
was bringing his car into the station
Tooker was standing on the depot
platform. "There is the man that
ruined my home" he cried out to Con-
stable Ferguson, who was with him
and at the same time he drew a pistol
and started toward the car. Cahoon
was too quick for him, however, and
before Captain Tooker had gotten his
weapon from his pocket, the motorman
had fired the first bullet into his ad-
versarys throat. Two others entered
Tooker's stomach and arm. Cahoon
was arrested.

WEST AFRICAN COTTON.

Successful Experiments In British Ter-
r,tory-CompetitionV with America.
Liverpool, Nov. 10.-Sir Alfred Jones.
president of the Liverpool chamber of
commerce, has just received reports re-
garding the cotton growing experiments
in West Africa. He said to a represen-
tative of The Associated Press:
I'VE sent out hundred tons of Amer
lean seed and divided it among all of
the British West Coast colonies. The
results have been most satisfactory.
The crops matured in ninety days and
in quantity and quality were quite
equal to those of the parent stock. Next
season we shall send Egyptian seed and
hope for equally good results. The only
question is whether We can make the
natives work so as to put big .planta-
tions on a commercial basis. The native
wages are four cents day. But am
personally afraid that number of
years will elapse before we can make
the West Coast of Africa a serious COM
petitor of the American southern states

Managers for $4,000.
Boston, Nov. 1O.-Pietro Mascagni
the composer-leader who was arrested
Saturday night on a mesne process in
suit brought by his former managers,
Mittenthal Brothefs, was released after
a hearing in the superior court to-day
on $4,000 bonds, which he furnished
himself. Mascagni Immediately retail
ated by suing the Mittenthals for $780,
900 for alleged false arrest. After his
arrest the Italian composer petitioned
for an immediate hearing of his case
and it came up before Judge Braley
late in the day. Judge Braley after lis
tening for ali hour or two to the diff
cultes attending the settlement of the
financial matters between Mascagni
and the Mittenthals, decided that it
would be impossible to give decision
off hand. He therefore suggested that
the counsel in the case hold a confer
ence and decide upon some date when
the full merits of the case could be
laid before the court In the mean
time, he told the lawyers that Mas
cagni was foreigner and great COM
poser and should receive every cour-
tesy from Americans. He then sug-
gested that he be not held in this city
under excessive bail and thought that
$4,000 would be sufficient to bring Mas
cagni here when the case came up
again. BY furnishing this amount he
said that Mascagni could continue his
tour in this country.

nish as the Guilty Man.

New York, Nov. 1O.-The fate Of Ro-
land B. Molineux will be determined
tomorrow. When the court adjourned
this evening Justice Lambert announc-
ed that he would allow Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborne but two hours
and half more to finish summing up
which means that the court will deliver
its charge and the case will go to the
jury during the afternoon.
The court room was crowded to suf-
location when, at the opening of to-
days session, former Governor Black
rose to sum up for the defence. After
a general defence of Molineux, whom
he declared the prosecution had utterly
failed to connect in any way with the
death of Mrs. Adams, Mr.. Black passed
TO a scathing denunciation of Harry
Cornish to whose guilt, and not that Of
MolineuX, he declared every circum-
stance in the case directly pointed.
More than half of Mr.. Blacks address,
which occupied nearly four hours, was
devoted to an analysis of Cornish's con-
duct and testimony and of the testimo-
ny of other witnesses in manner to
support his contention that Cornish S
actions were not consistent with his in
nocence of the crime of which MolineuX
stands accused.
Mr.. Osborne based his argument for
the prosecution largely on the testimo-
ny of the handwriting experts which, he
said, conclusively showed Molineux to
have been the writer of the poison pack
age address and of the other disputed
exhibits.

Assurance That Coal Can be Purchased
at Low Rate Many Shares Subscribed
for Last Night.
Pohlman hall on Dixwell avenue was
filled to overfowing last night with cit
izens who are deeply interested in the
movement to organize what is to be
termed the New Haven Cooperative
Coal association. 1t was the third
meeting for the purpose, and was even
more largely attended and more enthu-
siaStic than either of the others. Mat
ters assumed a more definite shape and
it can be fairly prophesied that before
another month has passed this associa-
| ton will be fully organized and prepar-
ed for doing business.
One of the principal matters last
night was the resolution to have the
stock books remain open until $780, 900
in stock had been subscribed, and that
no one person would be sold more than
| one hundred shares Of stock, and, no
| matter what the number of holdings
| We're, each Stockholder should be per-
mitted but one vote.
1t was also voted that the present
| committee of seven which has had
charge of preliminaries be increased to
| fifteen, and that they be given until
| next Monday night to report plan of
| organization and method of procedure
to become incorporated so that actual
business may be commenced. This
committee will meet on Friday night
of this week and formulate their rec
concentrations to the general meeting
next Mondays-It will be held in Pohl-
mans hall and is to be strictly stock
holders meeting. Only those persons
| who have signed their names to the
subscription lists previous to the hour
| of the meeting will be admitted. 1t is
