A LIFE srAKED on A GAME OF CARDS.

A LIFE STAKED on A GAME OF CARDS.
A game of cards in which human life was
at stake was played on the 9th of Septem-
Der at the Ritter Hotel, Heidelberg, by four
young students, one of whom, Silfred
Meyer, was an American from Chicago.
1t appears that the four men had formerly
been intimate friends, and they met, it
seems, on the above day at the Swan Tav-
ern, where they drank good deal and fl
nally began 10 quarrel. One of them,
Count Ottenhorf, called Meyer cowardly
Jew, whereupon the latter promptly chal-
lenged him. Ottondorf accepted the chal-
lenge Immediately. Meyer, in a tone of
great excitement, proposed that all four
should repair to the Ritter Hotel and there
play game of "sixty-six." The loser
should shoot himself pistol. This prop
osition was accepted, aud the four students
repaired to the hotel. They ordered wine
and cards TO be brought up 10 private
room, and Ludeken, one of the four, pro-
cured two loaded pistols from neighbor-
ing armorer. The fourth student dealt the
cards, and Ottendorf and Meyer seated
themselves, pistol lying by the side of
each. The hrst iew minutes the game re-
maned almost even. But then Meyer OBJ
tanned single advantage, and Ottendorl,
seeing that he was lost, suddenly jumped
up, and exclaiming, "Adieu my friends"
seized his pistol and shot himself through
The right temple. He fell corpse to the
npor, while his companions stood as if pet
rified for moment, aud then buried from
the room. When the proprietor of the ho-
tel FASTENED into the room he found the
dead count lying on the floor. He gave an
alarm, and police started socn after in pur-
suit of the fugitive students. Late in the
afternoon they succeeded in arresting Im-
mich, who made the above statement.
Meyer and Ludeken escaped across the
French frontier. Ottendorf was the son of
a wealthy landed proprietor in Westphalia.
At the time OF his death he was only nine
teen.

After that we walked homeward like low

RUssIA.-In letter to friend, United
States Minister Jewell gives his impression
of Russia as follows: "This government is
Of its kind perfection and clock work itself.
The Emperor is Inan of brain, force and
progress, and l think has a real love for
his people. They certainly appear very
fond OF him, all classes. He appoints the
council, senate and courts. and these make
and execute the laws. His displeasure is
not n pleasant thing to incur, The people
may be no more honest than ours, but ex-
posure is too risky. So the shells are new
er filled with sand, nor do the troops run.
The most powerful man here after the En-
peror is 'Tripof,' chief of police-a man of
wonderful executive ability-always at
fire, row, or a parade. He is always just
behind the Emperor when out, and says
who may come and who may go, and who
shall be tried, too, think, aud, perhaps,
who may lie convicted. He just runs this
city, and does it to perfection. He is ac-
c0untabe to nobody but the Emperor. l
send to him to get Americans out of scrapes,
or out of the country, or to odoanything else.
All l know is that II is done. His dispatch
TO the frontier let's anybody in or out, or
stops them for examination. He is said to
be very just man, as he certainly is very
active onr.'

forts. He was IN his boat before his anchor
had touched the bottom, and on landing
proceeded straight tn the governors house,
aud peremptorily demanded that the exe-
cutions should cease. The governor at
first declared that he had no right 10 in
terlere, but the captain said that in the alb
sence of an American man of-war he would
take the responsibility Of protecting Amer
lean citizens, and guarding the honor of tho
American flag. 1t IS said he gave General
Burriel his choice between yielding to his
demands or having the city bombarded,
and the governor accordingly gave way.
Only for the arrival of the Niobe there
can be no doubt but the so would have
been shot, that afternoon. All the Ameri-
cans in port were loud in praise of the
manner in which the captain of the Niobe
acted. 1 ascertained, a few days after his
arrival, that he came in answer 10 a tele-
graphic message from the American con-
sui, sent after the massacre of Capt. Fry
and the crew, asking TO have an American
man of-war dispatched TO Santiago de Gu
ba. There happened to be no American
inan-Of- war in Kingston at the time, but
the commander of the Niobe Immediately
got up steam, and even though be bad not
his full complement Of men, many OF them
being on shore, without delay started for
Santiago dc Cuba. One ofhis first acts was
to compel the Spanards to remove the
American flag from the pace on the deck
of the Tornado where ii had been thrown
about and tramped upon for days more
like rag than flag. He also compelled
the Governor of Santiago to furnish him
with five copies of the official proceedings
in regard 10 the trials-one for himself, one
Tor his commodore, one for the American
Government, one for the American con-
modore." When concluding his story,
Mr.. Coffin assured the reporter that the
Spanish authorities somehow seemed to
have no respect for the American govern
ment, and do not hesitate on the slightest
pretext 10 insult the American fgg.

COLORADO AN ASYLUM FOR ASTHMAr-
Cs-Grace Greenwood writes from Den
yer, COL: Ifind as the result of experience
and diligeut inquiry, that all cases Of asth-
ma, where the heart is not involved, are Ell
ther greatly relieved or entirely cured
in Colorado. In most instances, they are
cured-in some they seem to be rather sus-
pended-a return to the states bringing
them on again. The asthmatics of the terri
tory have lately been holding convention
at Denver. 1t was like a conference meet
ing of rejoicing young converts. The
chairman was Mr.. +. b. j. Crane of De-
troit, who came to Colorado as last resort,
after 80 years suffering from asthma. Here
he has good sleep, good health, good spir-
its, and devotes himself to good works.
Greeley, Denver, and Colorado Springs are
excellent points for asth MATES, but pre-
fer Manitou, not because it is my summer
home, but for its singularly sheltered situ-
alton. The winds, which are oflen very
severe, further out from the mountains, are
scarcely felt here. The early autumnal
storms, so much dreaded in the East by all
sufferers from chest diseases, never come
there. With the close of the gay, fashion,
able season, the gala season of nature be-
gins-a long, triumphal procession of glo-
rous days, fresh, but balmy, brilliant, but
never oppressive. This is the season, rather
than the summer, for invalids to come to
Colorado. The great throng over, they
have more attention and comforts, and can
have perfect quiet, if they desire il, which
most invalids out here do not. There is
something so stimulating and buoyant in
the strange, grand surroundings, AID in
the wonderful atm sphere, that few are
languid or depressed.

The Kings Picture.
ny HELEN pARRor DosTwIcK


There is in every human being, however ignobl
ONE hint Of perfection; come one pace where (ns "
nav isncy) the veil IL thin which hides the divnlt
ehind it.-Con fucidn Classics.
The king from his council chamber
Came weary and sore of heart;
He called for Iliff the painter,
And snake TO him thus apart:
az am sickencd Of faces ignoble,
Hyrocrites, towards and knayesl
,hall shrink to their shrunken measure,
Chief slave in a realm of slaves
"Paint me a true mans picture,
Gracious, and wise, and good,
lowered with the strength Of heroes,
And the beauty of womanhood.
II shall hang in my inmost chamber,
That thithcr when retire,
It may hll my soul with its grandeur,
And warm il with sacred fire."
SO the artist painted the picture,
And 1t hung in the palace hall;
Never a thing 40 goodly
Had garnished the stately wall.
The king with head uncovered
Gazed on il with rapt delight
TIL 1t suddenly wore strange meaning,
And baflled his questioning sight.
For the form was his supplest courtiers,
Perfect in every limb
But the hearing was that of the henchmRn
Who filled the nagons for him.
The brow was priests who londered
His parchments carly and late;
The eye was wandering minstrels
Who sang at the palace gate.
Tho lips, half sad and half mirthfu
With fitting, tremulous grace
We're the very lips of n woman
He had kissed in the market place;
But the smile that their curves transhgured,
As rose with its simmer OF dew,
Was the smile Of the wife who loved him,
Queen Ethclyn, good and true.
Then "Learn, o king" said the artist,
"This truth that the picture tells
How, in every form Of the human,
Some hint Of the Highest dwells;
How, scanning each living temple
For the place where the veil is thin,
We may gather, by beautiful glinpses,
The form of the god within"

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN wYoMINa.-G

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN WYoMINa.-Gov-
ernor Campbell, of Wyoming, in his mes
sage to the third Legislative Assembly of
Wyoming Territory, makes the following
satisfactory statement in reference to the
practical working OF Woman Suffrage
there: "The experiment of granting Wo-
man voice in the government, which was
inauguraled, for the first time in the his
tory of our country, by the first Legisla-
tive Assembly of Wyoming, has now been
tried for four years. l have heretofore
taken occasion to express my view in re-
gard TO the wisdom and justice of this
measure, and my conviction that its adop-
ton had been attended only by good re-
suits. Two years more of observation of
the practical working of the system have
only served TO deepen my conviction that
what we, in this territory have done, has
been well done, and that our system OF
Imperial Suffrage is an unqualified sue

Beneath the Waters

DROWNING OF THREE YOUNG LADIES'
The following are the particulars of the
drowning of three young ladies of New
market, n. H., in the Piscataqua river,
which has been already alluded to in the
columns of THE GLOBE:
1t appears that the party started from
Newmarket in the packet Eagle" Capt.
Charles T. French, for clam-bake and
chowder on Goat Island, near the site of
the old Pscataqua bridge. After landing
number of the party on the island, the
others went off for sail, and when about
half way across Little Bay, the packet
came up to the wind and the ballast, ''eight
barrels of fish" not secured in any way,
rolled from one side to the other, capszing
her and throwing all on board into the wa
ter. Mr. Edward Robinson, who has
charge of the drawbridge on the Concord
railroad, FASTENED to their assistance in his
boat and succeeded in rescuing all but
three-Miss Mary Abbic Garland, Miss
Minnie Moulton and Miss Burnham- young
ladies employed in the tailoring establish.
ment of Benjamin Il. Haley. of Newman
ket. The survivors were in the water,
clinging to the capsized packet, for about
half an hour before Mr.. Robinson reached
them. This sad affair has cast deer
gloom over the town, where the victims OF
the accident were well known and highly
esteemed. The whole available population
joined in the search for the bodies, which
however, had not been recovered whcr
night compelled Il cessation of their en-
deavors.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION AT WOOD
FoRD-Woodford has enjoyed centennial
celebration, which is indeed an honor to
her and something but few towns can boast
of. Woodford was organized February
18th, 1863, or about 104 years ago. The
first settler was Caleb Moore. He was
soon Joined by Matthew and Zerah Scott,
The first white child born in town was
Benjamin, son of Benjamin Reed, August
II, 1779. An eminence near Big Pond on
the old turnpike is the watershed dividing
the Hudson and Connecticut River Valleys.
The fact that this town was about a CEN
fury old suggested itself to several of the
prominent citizens, and they determined to
have celebration in commemoration of
the event, and Saturday, July Goth, was
determined on as the day for it.
The morning of the 26th opened very
fine and everything seemed to indicate a
pleasant day. About o'clock process
sion was formed at the City Hotel and pro-
ceeded to Elmer Gleason's Grove, where a
cordial and happy address of welcome was
giyer by S. M. Bowles, Esq, president of
the day. This address was followed by an
excellent and entertaining speech by Rev.
d, Moody, of Troy, N. Y, and ]. Halsey
Cushman, Esq, editor of the Bennington
Banner. The weather was very hot and
sutry, and shower fell at p. M, which
caused the large assembly of people at the
grove to dispcrse. Many proceeded to the
City Hotel where the fantastic feats of Ter
| psichore were soon commenced.
The Wilmington Cornet Band was in at
tendance and furnished excellent music.
Everything passed off pleasantly and agree
ably, for which those who took upon them
selves the responsibilities of the occasion
| NAV well be congratulated

SUICIDE AT TROY.
An EstimabIc Citizen Hangs Him.
self.

ScIEs
On Thursday morning last Mr. Jonas
Craver, Il well known citizen of Troy, N.
Y, living on Francis street, at Ida Hill,
committed suicide under very distressing
circumstances 1t seems that about five
o'clock that morning he left his home and
it was supposed went to work. AT his reg
ular breakfast hour he had not returned,
and his wife becoming alarmed at his alb
scnce, sent her son to look for him. The
young man searched about the city for a
short time, and was hurrying along a lane
leading from Francis avenue to Brunswick
avenue, recently opened by Albert Samp-
son, when he saw the body of his father
hanging to tree, IN the orchard, by piece
Of clothes line Judging from the position
of the body Mr.. Cravcr must have fastened
the rope around u limb of the tree and then
while standing on the top of the fence
formed moose in the rope, which he placed
around his throat He must then have
jumped from the fence, probably breaking
his neck, the feet being hardly three inches
above the ground. The body was taken
down and conveyed to the residence of the
deceased, i'll wagon. where it was laid
out and viewed by the friends of the fami-
ly. Coroner McKcnna was notified of the
sad occurrence and hastcncd to the spot
and cmpannelled a jury. 1t is probable
that the act was committed while Mr..
Craycr was labOrinr under temporary in
sanity. 1t is said that Mr.. Craver's mind
has been affected for the last six months;
at times he talked as though his mind wan
dered. A son of his youngest daughter
was buried Wednesday, and this seemed to
prey upon his mind he thought everything
of his grandchild and perhaps the death of
the boy may have so unsettled his mind as
to lead him to put an end to his own life.
Mr. Craver was fifty-nne years of age.
He went to Troy twenty-five years ago,
since which time he has been employed in
the burying ground and curry-comb fac
tory. AT the time of his death he was en-
plOyed us washer in Farnums knitting
mill, where he had worked nearly two
years. He was well known and respected
by all who had business dealings with him.
He leaves a wife and five children to
mourn his sad and untimely end. Nothing
can be told of the direct cause of the sui
eide. He had been in rather low spirits
for some time, but such rash act was not
even thought of by his friends.

William BIacISham's two wives.



Margaret Greene was married to William
Blacbham thirteen years ago, and they
lived in Grecnpoint until four years ago,
when he went to Aiken, N. Y, and began
to neglect his wife. She has since nearly
supported herself and six children. On
Tuesday she went with the Excelsior Club
excursion to Spring HILL On the return
she was attracted by hustle on deck, and
drawing near hand was laid on hers, and
a neat woman said, "Lady, what's the mat
ter?" Mrs. Blackham saw her husband
quarreling with a deck hand, and exclaim-
ed, "Why, that's my husband !"
at can't be-" said the other, "for that's
my husband"
GIVE been married to him thirteen years, y
said Mrs. Blackham.
"And | have been married to him three
years and I'm mother" said the other.
Atthis both women began to weep. Wife
number two related how she had met
Blackham in Vermont, married him against
the wishes of his parents, and ran away
with him to the place where he worked on
inc lluusOn. me appearance OF tne TWO
women attracted attention. Black
ham said very little in self-defence. He
limited, however, that wife number one
could get divorce if she wished also re-
marking that it would be hard for her tc
prove his second marriage
Mrs. Blackham made complaint on Thurs
day against her husband before Justice
Elliott of Brooklyn, and took out war
rant for his arrest on charge of bgamy
