WHAT HAPPENED A BJTTERIN
MR.. WANTS TOKNOW"H HAS
EXPERIENCES.
Objection Made To His Criticism
of Horse Dcal-The
Final Outcome.

A typical disqualification of the fate
of "butterinh was that at the cor.
ner of Maryland avenue and Prince
George streets Saturday afternoon. Ii
resulted in a somewhat copious flow of
claret from the breathing apparatus
Of the ore who was considered an in-
terloner. The trouble was brought
about hy reason of the wiles aud
smiles OF a horse trade.
Mr.. William Il. CAN'T was engaged
in inspecting the fine points of horse
which he contemplated buying. The
horse had many fine points, on any of
which a hat could be hung. The own
er was describing. with that flow of
language only acquired after long
years of practice in horse trading the
many excellent qualities of the animal
with which he wished TO part
His dissertation had reached that
stage of assurance which carries with
it conviction and generally n sale,
when there appeared on the scene Mr.
"Butterin. s" The latter is some.
what of judge of horse flesh and
proceeded to do some knocking "
Fifty cents was the limit of value he
would place on the animal, and he
told Mr.. CAN'T that purchase above
that price would be ruinous.
The owner of the horse thought his
levity illtimcd and entirely out of
place and proceeded TO demonstrate
with Mr.. "Butterin. - The latter main.
tanned that the rights of anyone TO
criticize in a matter of horse deal
were supreme and could not be abridg-
ed. The owner, however, was of the
contrary opinion and tried Co impress
upon Mr.. Buttesin" the rules of eti.
quette which apply in just such a case.
His argument failed in weight,
however. and the unbiased criticisms
continued to be elucidated in a man
ner calculated to lessen the value of
the horse in the mind of a prospective
purchaser. At last the owner lost his
temper and sent fist in the direction
of Mr.. "Butterin. 1t landed on the
latter's nose. severely injuring that
useful member. Deciding that dis
cretion was the better part OF valoI
Mr. "Butterin" climbed into a waiting
vehicle and took his departure. Ne.
gotiations proceeded and the sale was
made. much to the advantage of Mr..
CAN'T.

tate 1t was IN three tin boxes and its loss was

the clerks went out at the noon hour the safe
was not locked. It was closed and the building
was locked up The thief probably had Sc

as he was alone went about his work.
Bishop Potter IS often in the office until after

LOST $3.50 At SITTING.
Chicago Couples Poor Luck at
Bridge at Whist CONGRESS.

The strength Of bridge whist's hold tho
card playing public was shown at the congress OF
the American Whist League held at the Hotel
Majestic last week. One officer OF the league
said that nearly twice much bridge had been
played this congress as at any other he
ever had attended. Most Of the games took
place after midnight. 1t not unusual for a
game Of bridge TO begin at midnight and last
until or o'clock in the morning
The stakes in most cases were moderate gen
orally about quarter of a cent point, although
some games ran as high as 10 cents a point.
which IS equivalent to a So limit poker game.
One Chicago couple lost $3.50 at single sitting
TO pair from Boston. The losses in most cases
did not exceed $50 or $50 a session. In respect
for the rules of the league which forbid bridge.
the games were played in private rooms or in
specially arranged card rooms.
The local players are divided on the subject
OF bridge. The New-York Whist Club has
among it's members the recognized authorities
on bridge in the United States. and many of its
members are devoted to the game. The hnlck-
erbocker Whist Club represents the conserva-
tive element of the game and will not allow n
game OF bridge to be played in the club rooms.
George 5. Adams, of the club, is strongly OPP
posed to the game. We do not allow.
he said. "a game of bridge of any kind TO be
played in club rooms. We believe it's lnfu-
whist is harmful and we do everything
we can to prevent its getting foothold IN our
club 1t is nothing but a gambling game"
The movement begun over year ago 10 Sc
the recognition of bridge by the American
Whist League. and have the laws codlhed by
that body, has not been pushed. The commit
tee on laws of the present congress has not
even been approached by the devoteas of bridge.
The attitude of the league will TerJain,~aS here
tofore, strongly opposed to bridge. The present
rules require the expulsion of any club which
permits bridge to be played in its club rooms.
This penalty has never been enforced, but il has
been necessary to issue informal warnings in
two cases The rule is still generally evaded by
clubs whose members enthusiasts in the
new game The most common way is to ALLOW
games in the afternoon and at tirpes wSen reGs
ular games not in progress. No club per-
mits bridge to be played when there is formal
game of whist

Shoots IN the Dark.

into insensibilty with iron in the hands of
a masked robber. while two others struck him
with clubs. Frank Stegler. of this city employed
at the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad office
was able TO outwit his assailants at an early
hour this morning. When he regained con-
sciousness the robbers demanded that Stiegler
open the office safe. He refused and was
baten second time. Stiegler then started for
the safe. the robbers thinking he was about to
open IT.
The switchboard connecting the electric lights
of the Office was placed in the wall close TO the
safe. The night clerk quick as a fash turned
the switch and threw the Office into total dark
ness. He then drew his revolver and a duel took
place IN the dark Stiegler hiding behind the
safe and firing where the robbers nad stood. A
howl Of pain told that one of the shots had taken
effect. The robbers. however managed TO es-
cape. They got no booty.
Stiegler was picked up by his fellow clerks
who worked in adjoining rooms all unconscious
of what had happened until the shots fired.
No srrests have been made. The police. con-
sidering that within the past month four rob
berries have taken place in Pleasantville and
here. believe that the work is being done by an
organized band.
