weeks since by Misses Anna Lisa Brannan
against Samuel Brannan in the Fourth Dis

him from disposing of the common property.
The defendant has now filed an affidavit in
the Fourth District Court in support of a mo-
ton to have the injunction modified. In il
he says that his property is worth $500 900,
and that his Indebtedness is Si0O.000. secured
by notes and mortgages; that his monthly in.
come is 50 900, and that all of it is absorbed
in paying interest on debts. He declares that

We do not offer to back the Enquirer

have doubts whether in this feature Gin

DEATH WINS.



From the Louisville Courier-J Journal, 25th.l
The gambling saloon at No. so Fifth
street, between Market and Main, was
the scene of most tragical event last
nigbt--a scene wherein the weird, re-
morseless player, Death claimed the
stake, human life. f'
A heavy game of faro was going, on.
| The room was filed with people; some
merely there for the pleasurable excite
ment of the scene; Others, with the
demon thirst of gain uppermost in their
thoughts when the king of terrors, with
out a single note Of warming stalked
in and claimed the precious stake.
As developed at the Coroner inquest,
the strange facts in the case were as fol-
lows: On Thursday night of last week
well-dressed, elderly gentleman, an en-
tire stranger, entered the saloon, looked
ON at the game in progress for perhaps
an hour, and retired On Friday night
he again entered the house and took part
in the game, playing very small stakes
and apparently only for amusement.
Monday night he again visited the sa-
loon, playing as before for very small
stakes. He was perfectly sober and
very quiet and unobtrusive in his man
ner. Last night between seven and
eight clock he entered the saloon and
took his seat at the table, and, after
watching the game for short time, pur-
chased FIVE dollars worth of chips and
commenced playing, betting from twen-
ty-fve cents to seventy-five cents at a
time. The game progressed until about
nine 0 clock, when suddenly his head fell
forward upon the table, and froth was
seen issuing from his mouth. He was
Immediately removed from the table to
rear door, where he could get the fresh
air. 1t was supposed that he had been
attacked with a fit, and his face was
bathed with water, but in a few minutes
it was discovered that he was dying and
before medical aid could be summoned
he was dead. The game was quickly
closed, and most of the horror-stricken
players dispersed. The Coroner was
summoned and an inquest held, the re-
suit of which will be found below.

Ti.e French Postal system.

Z One of the worst monopolies in Eu,
rope is the French Postal System. A
letter from France can no longer be sent
to America without paying double post:
age. A letter from Paris to London, and
thence remailed to New York, pays only
30 centimes for each transmission, or 6O
centimes in all, while the same letter,
sent directly from Paris to New York,
has to submit to a tax of franc 20 cen
times. Every letter, also, which crosses
France in bag, box or basket without
transfer, from Calais to Marseilles, must
pay the same tax as letter received,
carried and delivered at ones own house
by the post. Again, France insists on a
tax of 20 centimes, while in England the
charge is 10 centimes; letter can be
sent anywhere throughout the United
States for three sous; and, in Germany,
from Trieste to Hamburg for II centimes
and half. The weight of French let
ter is limited to 10 grammes, while Eng
land, Switzerland, Prussia and America
allow Is. On all letters of 20 grammes
weight, sent from France to England,
France pays only 45 centimes; but
for the same weight sent from
England to France it demands 20 CEN
times. Bowles Brothers d Co., Paris,
remind the American public that, for
each half ounce of written mail matter,
Il is now paying just six times as much
to Paris, or to any part of France, as to
London, or any part Of England. This
is owing to the rupture Of postal rela-
tions with France, of the mending of
which there seems to be no immediate
prospect. As partial relief from this
imposition Msssrs. Bowles Brothers a
Co, have enlarged tho postal telegraph
of their London house, for
the receipt and redispatch of all mail
and telegraph matter for France or the
Continent, via France. By the new
postal treaty, the rates
between England and France will be i'm
mediately reduced Sd. per one-third
ounce. instead of 4d. per quarter ounce,
thus further lessening the postage on an
American letter, sent via London, TO
about twelve cents per half ounce lin
the six cents prepaid in America).
