TERRIBLE GAME OF CARDs.-A game of
cards in which human life was at stake was
played on the 9th of September at the Ritter
Hotel, Heidelburg, by four young students, one
of whom, Silford 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 Swami
Tavern, where they drank q great deal. and
finally began to quarrel. One of them, Count
Ottendorf, called Meyer q cowardfy Jew,
whereupon the latter promptly challenged him.
OttendOrf accepted the challenge Immediately.
Meyer. in a tone of great excitement. proposed
that all four should repair to the Ritter Hotel
and there play game of "sxty.sx:" The
loser should shoot himself with pistol. This
proposal was accepted, and the four students
repaired to the hotel They ordered wine and
cards to be brought up to private room, and
Ludeken, one OF the four, procured two loaded
pistols from neighboring armorer. The
fourth student dealt the cards, and Ottendorf
and Meyer seated themselves, q pistol lying by
the side of each The first few minutes the
game remained almost even. But then Meyer
obtained a single advantage. and Ottendorf
seeing that he was lost. suddenly jumped up
aud exclaining "Adieu, my friends" seized
his pistol, and shot himself through the right
temple. He fell corpse to the floor, while
his companions stood as II petrlhed for q mo-
ment, then hurried from the room. When the
proprietor of the hotel hastened into the room
he found the dead Count lying on the floor. He
gave an alarm, and the police started in pur-
suit Of the fugitive students. Late in the at.
ternoon they succeeded in arresting Immich,
who made the above statement Meyer aud
Lndeken escaped across the French frontier.
Ottendorf was the son of q wealthy landed
proprietor in Westphalia. At the time OF his
death he was only nineteen.

THE RED RIVER RAFT. 9

One Of the great improvements Of the day is
the removal Of the Red river "raft." This
raft is formed BY the accumulation of logs.
trees, roots and debris Of all kinds in the chat.
mel Of the river. The raft grows year by year,
and deposits OF mud thicken upon the logs and
vegetation springs up, until islands are formed
miles in length. In 1905 the raft was moro
than hundred miles long. It consisted Of ac-
cumulations of the up-country forests through
work to clear the river. Captain Shreve, af-
ter whom the town of Shreveport took its
name, was at the head of the work. From
that time to the present, spasmodic attempts
have been made from time to time to remove
these RATS, at immense labor and expense.
The present raft region is thirty.fve miles in
length, and extends from q point forty miles
above Shreveport to the Arkansas State line.
Navigation can only be accomplished through
the raft region through the bayous at high wa
ter. At other times the river is entirely
blockaded. In 1872, Lieutenant Woodruff
made survey of the raft, and submitted plans
for removing it. An appropriation was voted
and the work begun. The raft is composed Of
logs, roots and snags Of every description,
which had been crowded and jammed into
tangled mass, becoming more compact every
year as the pressure from aOOv0 ncreaS00.
Annual freshets had brought down mud and
deposited it in and over this mass until, in
places. the raft itself had become entirely GOV.
cred with earth, small islands of STOW. heads
thus being formed. Upon these tow-heads
were growing trees, usually willows three feet
and more in circumference. The means used
for the removal of these distractions are va
rious. Blasting powder was used at first, and
failed. Dynamite was substituted, but was
found to be Intellectual Then at last recourse
was had to nitro. o.glycerine. This never failed
to work. The work has progressed rapidly
under Lieutenant WOOdruff's management,
and few weeks will suffice to clear the chan
mel entirely. so that navigation will be uninter-
rupted from Shreveport, Louisiana, to Jefer-
son, Texas. During the war the same stream
came to grievous notice through the disastrous
failure Of Banks. and the brilliant feat of en-
gineering whereby great fotilla of gunboats
was successfully carried out of the clutches Of
the enemy and absolutely floated over fall Of
sixty or seventy feet. which had for days been
very nearly bare The name of Bailey was
immortalized by that feat and the run itself
made historic.

party is actively engaged in plotting for the
defeat of Booth as U. s. Senator, and hints are
thrown out that coalition may possibly be
formed between the Democrats and Radical
anti-Booth members OF the Legislature. Some
of the Radical papers are evidently engaged in
trying to create diversion in favor of ex-Sena-
