Her outside planks were all pnt in position last Friday and she was smoothed down. On Batur day morning sho was turned over to have her deck beams put In place, and her deck Is now being laid. Her fin Is finished and her spars are almost ready. Iter sails are being made by Hathaway at tlfe works. The fin keel half-rater built for Walter tang don of Hyde Park, N.

On Wednesday morning sho bent tho fast catboat Asphodel 1th ease In a long run, and finished half a mile to windward. On Thursday she had another trial In the liar W. this time against a small steam launch. It was found that In running before the wind she could not nulte keep up to the launch, bat In running full and by sho could easily distance It. Khe was towed to Shelter Island on Friday, and was delivered to Mr. tangdon The Ilerrcshofls are experimenting with the steam launch Kid. which Is a tender to the sleam yacht Eugenia, and she has had several trials recently. She has been fitted with a Her reshoff single engine, somewhat resembling a Thnrneycroft engine In appearance and In some details of constriction. The lioller Is very small and compact. Kerosene Is used as fuel. The space occupied by both engine and boiler Is very small, and the cost of fuel Is very slight. The ! machinery Is not yet perfected and the boat Is not very fast, but It Is expected that a good speed will ultimately ho attained. A steam launch for tho steam yacht Siesta, Ocorge (Ireen owner, has Just lwen completed, nnd had a trial trip In the harbor last Wednes day. Her machinery worked well and sho made good time. The steam launch Daisy, which as built b the Herreshoffs for tho United States Govern ment, Is hauled out at the yards to have her shaft straightened. John II.

"WIZARD" scttAsrsn noHE AOA1K He nrlsgs Itla of Neves and Predicts aa International Taaraey far th Fall. Jacob Bchaefer, the little liard of billiards and greatest fancy shot player In the world, got home yesterday morning on tho French liner La Navarre, after a six months' profitable so journ In Paris. Hla wife and his two-year-old daughter Annie enme homo with him, nnd so did his brother Charley and his wife, and Wil liam Splnka, the Western literary bllllardlst. The steamer got loher pier so early that the WU ard's friends dldnt get a chance to welcome Mm In their usual tumultuous style. Harvey Ubert, the Wizard' old partner and tlllllardlst John Randolph Helser shook hands with him at the pier. Jnke was tired, and they let him go to the Hotel MnrlWnugh to get some much-needed rest. 1 talked of his trip abroad later on with his daughter on his knee trying to talk French to her mother. Ills first sentence was charac teristic "Well, you sec I'm home again and ready to play anybody any kind of a gamo for any amount," he said, nnd ho said It with n spirit that showed that his stay In Paris had agreed with him. Thei Wizard' return was qullo unexpected. He nnd his rival, Frank Ives, united for bust lies reasons on July 1 last nnd took a year's lease of the Grand Oaf, next to the Grand Ho tel and the Cafe Adulph on the Rue Vivien. The partnership was abruptly broken by the order of tho French Minister of the Interior prohibiting all further betting on the gsmes. For yean the authorities bad permitted billiard lover to wager money mi the Academy matches, anil the proprietors wero permitted to take '.'0 per cent, of tho reielpts as lxinus. The order of the authorities mused all tho aradomlea to close nnd brought profes sional billiards to a standstill In the gay capital. Consequently Schnefer nnd his party came home. Schaefer had engaged Fournll, Cure, Cntton, Manuel, a Spanish chnmplon, Albert Garnlcr.and Pago to play him anil Ives. Schaefer blames tho collapse of the bltlhird Industry to Vtgnaux'a injudicious action In opening nil nendemy at tho Casino do Pnrls, a new cafo situated on tho Tlnulevard, It hsd an amphi theatre seating 1100 spectators, and It mado tho French style of games it little too conspicuous for those who didn't like billiard matches. The reformers protested, nnd billiards had to go to thn wall. Schaefer plajed for a long while at Vlgnnux' Academy under contract, meeting Vlgnaux, lleau. Gitalin, Page, and Carter, the American cushion enrrom expert. Ives played n while be fore his partnership with tho wizard at Cnfe Adolpb. lioth Schaefcrnnd Ives played Vlgnaux at a private rlub. nnd Imth beat the French cham pion. Schaefer played him 1100 point at balk line nnd 100 mints cushion enrroms. Ives beat him 300 points balk line nnd lf points three-cushion enrroms. Vlgnnux plays only In tho daytime nnd takes things very easy. As long as their partnership lasted Ives and Schaefer placd twice a day, and tho Wizard won six nut of eight gumca with tho young Nn poleonnf billiards. " Fournll and Curo are almost certain to visit America this fall," said Schaefer, "and they aro the most promising player In Paris. I don't think that either Gamier or Plot can be pre- ailed upon to come here. Fournll Is the best balk-line nurser on the other sldo of tho water." During this Interview It turned out that Splnks had gono nbroad with a special commission from George F. Slosson to arrange for two matches between himself and any Frenchman, or Frank Ives, the game to be balk line and cushion carroms respectively, for $1,000 a sldo each, the games to be played in America. Slosson was willing to allow fsDO expensee. but the Frenchmen nil asked from tl,R00 to J'.OOO guarantee, and tho negotiations were broken off. Splnks reports that William Cotton, the Chicago expert, will be home In two weeks. Ives will stay abroad until October, nnd Eu gene Carter Is going to Switzerland. WCharley Schaefer played cushion enrroms nnd three-cushion enrroms during his stay abroad. He and his wife nnd his brother's wife nnd child aro going to Chicago to-night. Tho Wizard will remain here a fortnight. He was entertained by Maurice Daly last night. He said that for the first time In twelve years he had no defi nite plans for the future. He Is not now under engagement with his old patrons, tho II., R., C. Company, Ho will be present at the opening match between his old- ' time rival, "Old Comanche" Illlly Sexton I nnd Hciser at Maurice Daly's new academy. Tho Wizard had a chat with Sexton and with George Slosson last night. He showed some new-fangled French chalk. It Is green and sticks like glue to the cue tip. He says It Is the I greatest thing In the world. He calls It V magic chalk." and says that he mado but one solltarv i mlscue In all the six months he plated with It nbroad. Ho brought homo several boxes of Freneti cue tips for his own private ue. i " We're going to have lively time In billiards this fall, and don't you forget It." was Ids part ing remark, as he turned in for the night at hla hotel. "And we'll hat r an International tour ney U I'm uot much mistaken." CATHOLIC SU.VMEU .SCHOOL. Fatker Pardow. tke Provincial or the Jesuits, lVarstly Endorses It. PLATTSBUnaii, Aug. O.-The feature of to day's session of the Cathollo Summer School w as the official endorsement of the school by the Provincial of the Jesuits, the Rev. William O'D. Pardow. Just before his lecture this evening he said: " We Jesuits are glad to show our appreciation and interest In Any movement Intended for the further enlightenment of the people, and to sec ond such a movement. We are most pleased to see that this Catholic Summer School has taken hold. This summer school is not based on any French-ln-flve-lesaons system. Although we have not much time here In the summer school, still our plan of work Is not superficial. Dr. Samuel Johnson, fine old man that hu was, said there were two ways of studying books one way was to examine the pages, a long way, and another way was to examine tho backs, a shorter way. There Is a great deal to be learned from the backs of books, because there we will find wheie we will get what we want. Here in our school we cannot sound the depths of what we are learning, but here we cau find out where we can get tne depths of all knowledge; here new lines are laid out. now vistas are opened out to tho eager students. The summer school does not propose to do away with difficulties. Education must be dim cult. As with the squirrel, his teeth were made for cracking, and. If hot used for their rightful purpose, will work ruin and destruc tion on the possessor. When my little squirrel died, through my cruel kindness, I made one re solve that Ihate kept. 1 havo not cracked any more nuts for my pupils. I hae said: ' Here Is the nut and here Is tne nut cracker,' and left him to make the proper connection. That Is what Is dune for you here In Plattaburgh." The main thesis of the first lecture on the Hiblebv the Rev. Father Pardow was the dem onstration of the crt-dentlalsof Christ. The lec turer drew a fine distinction between the ait thorltyof evidence aud theeidence of author ity.

The fight began nbout 0 n't lock. An hour later Police Sergeant Dairy of the First precinct station, with Roundsman Drown and three policemen, arrived on the scene. It was an hour before they succeeded In getting tho crowd awnv and Inducing tho leslcged man to put up his revolver, wllch he hail liecn using on the crowd, nnd permit them to enter. When tho police got In tho place they found Welbert overcome from fright aid drink. On the floor lay his wife unconscious and covered with wounds. Welbert's saloon is a one-story structure. It Is located a block north ef Flushing avenue In a sparsely settled spot. Welbert Is about n. years old. Ho has been arrested twlco for 111 treating bis wife. The last arrest occurred about a month ago, when the police broke Into tho place and found his wife unconscious at the foot of tho cellar stairs. She wss covered with wounds and had several gashes in her head. On recovering consciousness In the Astoria Hospital, she said her husband had attacked her with a club and benten licr until she finally 1e camo Insensible. Welbert wus locked up, but succeeded In getting some uno to go on his liond, nnd when his wlfo was discharged from tho hospital, about a week ago, It In asserted! that ho frightened her Into not prosecuting him, and the couple went to live together again aa Iwfore. Shortly before 0 o'clock last night the resi dent living within earshot of the saloon wero alarmed by a woman' screams nnd cries of murder. They Immediately surmised that Wel bert was licntlng his wife again. Tho cries In creased nnd were accompanied at Intervals by loud oaths In a man's voice. A little party was noon collected and hnrrled to the house. They found the doors all fast. Sound of a struggle came from the In side, and a woman could be heard pleading In German for her life. Finally subdued groans took the place of the shrieks and cries. When the crowd, fearing that Welbert had murdered hla wife, attempted to force the door, a pistol shot was heard Inside and a bullet ploughed Ita way out through the frail wood work. The crowd fell back, but aa it Increased In nnmbcr It lecame bolder, and soon cries of " Fire the house 1" " Lynch hlml" " Ilreak In tho door and haul tho rat out!" wero heard on dif ferent sides. Women Joined tho gathering, nnd thrlrshrlll voices added to the confusion, inciting the men. Apiece of clothesline waa produced and waved In the air amid tho cheers of the crowd. Another sally was made against tho saloon, nnd a second shot was fired by tho owner. When the excitement wo at Its height Police man Schroder, being tinnbln to copo with the mob, went to tho station houso for help, and Sergeant Dorsey ordered nut the reserves and they made helter-skelter for the scene of action. On reaching the spot they found the crowd at a safe distance hurling volleys of stones at the saloon. In which there w as not left a whole w In flow pane, while the doors were fast giving way before the bombardment. The crowd cheered nnd shouted as the stones showered down on the place. After considerable parleying the police In duced the crowd to cease hostilities while they endeavored to Induce Welbert to open the door. Fearful of the vengeance of the crowd, the be sieged man was la no mood to undo tliedoori-. He said that aa long ns his pistol held out he waa willing to take his chances inside the bar ricade. Denpltc the presence of the police, ut Intervals the fur) of the crowd broke out, and ngnlu a show er of stones thundered down nn the saloon. Then the parleying had to begin all over again. Eventually the police got the crowd awnv, nnd j NVclbcrt was Induced to open the door. Ho was promptly, soizyl. iHsnrnied. nnd handcuffed. The crowd then closed In again and tho pnlli-u were comnellcd to fight their way with their ' prisoner. Had the crowd ever got hold of him, lie would undoubtedly hue been made short I work of. A volley of stones was sent after the police. I They turned on the crowd, and, in the scramble, I AngeloSlegel wan enptured.

New? of the arrest of First Officer Robertson of the Pacific Mull steamship San Jose by the authorities of Corinto, Nicaragua, was brought here yesterday by passengers of the Columbian line steamship Finance, who hail been trans ferred from the San Jose at Panama. Mr. A. E.Morgans, an Englishman who has lived in Central America for the last eighteen )ears, was aboard the San Joi-e and saw the trouble. Mr. Morgans was seen lat night at the Holland House. " The San Jose had Just arrived In port." he said, " and, as usual, swarms of natives row ed out in their boat with fruit. A big, burly fellow succeeded In getting aboard and Robertson or dered htm off. The native refused to go and Robertson tried to put him-off. In a minute or two they were rolling around the deck. At lat the native got the best of the officer, and, w renchlng himself loose, sprang to his feet. As he did so he gave the officer a powerful kirk In the face. Then he cleared the railing and landed in the water. He came up In a moment and swam to a boat-In which were a woman and three men, who were also fruit peddlers. " Itobertson had sprung to his feet, and. run to the railing, he saw the native climb Into the boat. He stooped, and picking uu a heavy piece of wood, threw It with alt his might at the grinning native In the boat. The man dodged, the stick passed over his head and struck the woman on the forehead. She threw up her arms and fell back In a dead faint. Illood was running from her eyes, ears, and mouth. "Capt. Russell came on deck Just then and ordered one of the ship's boats lowered. He got In It with several of us and went to the woman's assistance. We could do little or nothing, and concluded to take her to the hospital onshore. The authorities demanded that Robertson 1ms turned over to them, Jfhls Capt. Russell re fused to do, and he was getting ready to leave the port when I accidentally learned that the commandant of the port had ordered that It the San Joae tried to leave port with Itobertson on hoard the fort should fire upon her. I told the Captain of this, and he concluded to give Rob ertson up. " Before he did so, I telegraphed President Zelayn and got permission from him to turn KoberUon over to the American Minister. This was done, and we left lurt a few-hours later with itobertson tinder Minister Ilaker'a care. When we arrived at Panama we learned from a telegram that the woman who had been injured would recover. I knew President .elaya well, and 1 telegraphed htm all the tiarllculars of the case and asked him to intercede for Itobertson. Minister Baker also said he would look out for Itobertson, and I guess If those two try to get him out they will succeed. I have no doubt that Robertson Is already on his way here.
