Players. The Game Holly Contested and Closely Watched by Friends of Both Teams. The employees at the Street Rail- way station are. jubilant this morning over a victory they wrested from the famous Col. F basket ball team last evening. - For some weeks past there has been a friendly exchange of compliments as to the merits of men as basket ball players, which culminated in Superin- tendent Kyle of the Street Railway line challenging the Co. F team for a game. The challenge was promptly accepted and the game took place at the Armory last night. The teams lined up as follows: S. R. Cor—William 'Waldron and E. Kyle, guards; Gilbert Horton and John Center. Co. F, Albert- Seofield and F. Benger guards; F. Godfrey and Charles Glover forwards; F. Wclberg, Center. As soon as the game commenced it their level best and the fight for supremacy was fast and at times furi- ous. The game was intently watched by a crowd of spectators, not by any means the least interested of whom was Capt. R. M. Rose. _ When the battle ended it was shown that the Co. F team had been defeated by a score of,6 to 4. Arrangements are being made for another battle between the two teams; to take place at an early date. ‘A‘_ ‘ AMUSEMENTS. The Heart of Chicago. It would be hard to get more scenery in a single production than is used in staging “The Heart of Chicago,” Lin coln J. Carter’s new scenic play. The Philadelphia Ledger of November 10, said: “Enough scenery is used in this production to amply stock half a dozen melodramas. ” Among the scenes promised are the Chicago fire scenes, showing a section of Chicago before, during and after the fire; Masonic Tem~' ple roof garden, the big ponoramic view of. the South Side at night, the VVorld’s Fair Court of Honor during a night illumination, the Columbus fount- ain, the typical Chicago street scene, and the famous approaching train scene. Hoyt’s, Monday, Jan. 17. The Tarrvtown Widow. A large audience greeted the Tan-ry- town \Nidow at Hoyt’s Theatre, last evening. It was a very funny farce comedy and kept the audience in a con- stant roar of laughter throughout the entire performance. Considering that the company is a new one, the play was presented in a highly creditable man- ner, and we predict that it will make a 4A; ‘vvr Trinity Church Social. day party last evening in the Sunday" school room the object of which was to secure money toward the building fund. Each one present was asked to enclose a cent for every year of their age in an envelope to be deposited in a box. A large number of parishoners were present and it is safe to say the building fund was greatly increased. During the evening Mrs. F. W. Norris gave some reeitations and cake and coffee were served.

Will he Brought to Danbury on a Charge of Horse Stealing. A man for whom Constable F. B. Cro- futt has been looking for two 'years is now safe in the Albany penitentiary, and will be held at the expiration of his term there, for the Danbury officer. Crosby will be brought to Danbury to answer.a charge of horse stealing. 1896 Crosby, who was then employed at Maplewood Hotel, hired a horse of William Freeland and said that he wanted to drive to -.-\Iaple\vood. He did not return with the rig and was traced over to New York state, where he tried to sell the horse. He did not succeed in doing so and drove to Rhinecliff where he left the horse and carriage and crossed the ferry. Mr. Freeland found his property in: Rhine- cliff. Constable Crofutt started in pursuit of Crosby and traced him to Kingston. N. Y., which is his home. When the officers were about to arrest the man he disappeared. He was traced to Ohio and then down into North Caro- lina where he was following the races. Crosby came back to Kingston and was arrested for stealing a watch from a man. For this crime he was sent to Albany penitentiary. His term will expire in April. Constable Crofutt secured requisition papers from Governor Cooke just. be- fore the governor stdrtcd upon his western trip a day or two ago. Gov- ernor Black, of New York state, ’hon- ored the requisition and a warrant was lodged with the prison officials iii Al- ban y.—Danbury News. ‘A.‘ er OBITUARY. JOHN C. HUBBELL. The citizens of Albany, says the Ar- gus, were startled at noon Sunday at the tidings of the death of John C. Hub- bell, who died at 11:45 at his residence, 77 Ten Broeck street. Although he had been seriously ill for about ten days previously from typhoid fever and pneumonia, his condition on Saturday was such as to encourage his friends that he would soon recover. But at 11 o’clock pleurisy set in and he began to sink rapidly, dying within twelve hours of this attack. Tidings of his death reached the First M. E. church, of which Mr. Hubbell was a highly ves- teemed and influential member, just as the public service closed. Strong men were bowed down with grief at the tidings, and those who in their pews joined in the prayer of the officia- ting clergyman, Rev. G. A. Barrett, of St}, Luke’s M. E. church, one ‘of Mr. Hubbell’s former pastors, as he tender- ly prayed for his recovery, went to their homes tearful and sad. Mr. Hubbell was president of the board of trustees, was a consecrated and earnest worker in the promotion of both the financial and spiritual inter- ests of this church, and his loss will be keenly felt. He died upon the forty- third anniversary of his marriage to Miss Julia Ann Wheeler, of Fairfield, Conn., who, with four sons, George and Charles of New York, Chester and John of this city, and three daughters, sur- vive him. He was born in Greenfield Hill, Conn., August 8. 1832, and was in the 66th year of his age. Coming to Albany at the age of .18, he entered the employ of the lumber firm of Hill &. Sanford. In 1854 he removed to Nor- walk, Conn., and formed a partnership in the lumber business with Moses Hill under the firm name of Hill & Hubbell. In 1860 he returned to Albany and was employed by the firm of Hill, Thomas &. Co. until 1866, when he was admitted to partnership under the firm name of Thomas, Hyatt St 00., who suc- ceeded Hill, Thomas & Co., afterward changed to William G. Thomas & Co. In 1876 the firm name was changed to Hubbell «S: Hill. In 1891 Mr. Hill re- tired from active business, since which time the firm name has been John C. Hubbell. Mr. Hubbell was a man of the strictest probity in 'his business life, and enjoyed the esteem and confi- dence of all who knew him. Such a man, as taken all in all, Albany can ill afford to lose. 4 Boston Store. Look for the Boston store’s new Adv. in to-day’s issue.

Under the title “Just a \Vord, " Mr. Rodemeyer states that it is not a his- tory, but simply a scrap book whose chief merit and interest are the illus- trations, and that the reading matter simply serves to fill in space between the pictures. The illustrations are excellently chosen and the typographical work of a high order, while the several anec- '- dotes penned by Mr. Rodemeycr are of the most interesting character and written in his usual charming manner. Aside from the above the volume will prove valuable as a historical record of the good old village of North Canaan.
