The games are played on every Mon- day and Thursday evenings, but owing to next Thursday being New Years when there will be many other attrac- tions, the games will be postponed.

BOLD DIAMOND THIEF.
Window of New York Shop Smashed and Gems Taken.

W1ndoW or a NeW lork Snop SIndSHeu
 and Gems Taken.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-In full view of the passing crowds huge plate glass show window in the pawnshop of R. Simpson & Co., IA West Forty-sec- ond street, was smashed with a Bell gian paving block, and $10,000 worth of diamonds were stolen.
 Only three of the gems were recov- cred after the capture of the robber. It is believed by the police that several men were in the job and that the ma,. who broke the window passed the jeH- els to confederates.
 After a most exciting chase, which was entered into by hundreds of men and boys, the robber. who drew pis- tol and fought desperately for his lib- erty, was captured at Eighth avenue and Fortieth street. He was more dead than alive when the police rescued him from the crowd of pursuers. His clothes were torn of, his eyes were al- most closed from blows he had re- ceived, several teeth were out, his lips were cut and swollen, and he was a sad picture of an unsuccessful high- wayman.
 He is nineteen years old and calls himself William Madison of Boston.
 Madison said he came from Boston about week ago. He was broke and hungry, he said, and while passing along Forty-second street he saw the jewel laden window. Simpson always has startling display of diamonds in the window, which is not guarded on the outside by bars of any kind. 1t is said at the store that at the time the window was broken there was on show about S15o, 1000 worth of Jewels, watch es etc. There was one necklace valued at S6,5oo. This was not in the tray which Madison grabbed.

~. of First Floor. '-s7
 New Haven, Dec 3O.-Adolph Rapp, aged 30 years, was instantly killed at the Garde hotel about 1 o'clock this morning. MT Rapp entered the hotel about 12:3O o'clock and asked for a room. After registering as 'AdoIph Rapp, Derby, Conn., he was assigned to an apartment on the second floor, and after a few minutes started for the elevator with the intention of re- tiring.
 It was noticed as MT Rapp went toward the entrance that he did not walk very steadily. However, he got on all right and the boy in charge started the ascent. Between the first and second floors MT Rapp turned his back in such manner as to become damned between the elevator and the exit to the corridor of the first floor. His neck and back were probably bro ken, besides both of his legs, and he died instantly. "
 MT Garde quickly notified Medical Examiner Bartlett and the latter ex- amined the body, after which it was removed to Lewis & Maycock's under taking establishment From letters found in his pocket Dr Bartlett said that MT Rapp was proprietor of the Hoffman house in Derby, and this was partly confirmed by telephone mes sage from the dead mans son.
 At 3 o'clock this morning Adolph Rapp. 1T, of Derby, was called up and informed of his fathers death.
 He said that he had bought the Hoff- man house from his father just twelve days ago. The latter during the time that he had conducted the place had made comfortable fortune and had decided to retire and spend the rest of his days in ease and travel He left Derby yesterday afternoon and intend ed to leave for Cuba in short time. From there he was going to Europe to visit his only brother, Frank Rapp, who resides in Baden. His wife died several years ago. Several hundred dollars were found on his person by the medical examiner.
