Playing for a Human Life.

A game of cards, in which O hu-
man life was at stake, was played
on the 9th of September, at the
Ritter Hotel Heidelberg, by four
young students, one of whom, Sill
fred 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 Tavern,
where they drank a good deal and
finally began to quarrel. One Of
them, Count Ottendorf, called Mey-
er cowardly Jew, whereupon the
latter promptly challenged him.
Ottendorf accepted the challenge
Immediately. Meyer, in tone of
great excitement, proposed that all
four should repair to the Ritter
Hotel, and th:re play q game of
"sixty-six," the loser to shoot him
self with a pistol. This PROPOSE
tion was accepted, and the four
students repaired to the hotel.
They ordered wine and cards to be
brought up to private room, and
Ludelken, one of the four, procured
two loaded pistols from neighbor-
ing armorer, the fourth student
dealt the cards, and Ottendorf and
Meyer seated themselves, a pistol
lying by the side of each. The
first few minutes the game remain
ed almost even. But then Meyer
obtained single advantage, and
Ottendorf, seeing that he was lost,
suddenly jumped up, and exclaim-
ing: "Adieu, my friends" seized
his pistol and shot himself through
the right temple. He fell a corpse
to the floor, while his companions
stood as if petrfiied for moment,
and 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 pursuit of the fugitive
students. Late in the afternoon
they succeeded in arresting I'm
mich, who made the above state
ment. Meyer and Ludeken escap-
ed across the French frontier. OF
tendorf was the son of wealthy
landed proprietor in Westphalia.
At the time of his death he was
only nineteen.

Truth Stranger than Fiction.

In late English novel the plot
is based upon wife's Imprisonment
of her husband in his own house
for many years, and until he had
become broken and imbecile. Those
who have read the story have look
ed upon it as sensational and i'm
possible, but it is well nigh match
ed in almost parallel case at Mad
ison, Wis. Some months ago a
man named Jacob Schmitz disap-
peared very suddenly, and in res
ponse to inquiries his wife stated
that he had gone to California, and
that since his departure she had
heard that he was murdered. She
refused to admit any one to the
house, which was kept locked, say
ing that she had been ordered not
to by her husband prior to his de-
parture. The suspicious of the
people were aroused, and Mrs.
Schmitz was closely watched. A
few days ago she determined to
make her escape with her daughter
from the city, but was apprehended
and brought back. An examina-
ton of the house was then made,
and her husband discovered, re-
duced in body to mere skeleton
and in intellect to the condition of
raving maniac. What cause the
woman had for this singular behav-
ior is as yet mystery, but the fact
demonstrates once more that moth
ing can be stranger than the truth.

relaxation, went to Virginia with

"What was the circumstances so

The fellow passenger querried a.

"They were very peculiar, and
that is the reason why the trial was

The Assassfnati0n of Kev. Dir. Stephens
A Terrible Deed Of Blood.

From the Two Republics. (newspaper,) Mexico City
| March 81
A horrible murder was committed on the
I'd inst at AhualulcO, in the State Of Jalis.
co, small town, about thirty miles from
Guadalajara, on the person of Rev. Mr.. Ste
phens a Protestant Congregationalist minis.
ter and missionary sent out by the American
Board of Foreign Missions from Boston.
From all accounts this horrible crime was a
deed of fanaticism, and prompted by reli-
gious persecution. The following telegram
furnishes u portion Of the particulars
GUADALAJARA, March A, 1874.
| At two o'clock 4. NJ, on the I'd inst, the
| house of Rev. Stephens was assaulted by q
mob composed about 200 persons, crying
'Long live the Citrate! Death to the PrOtes-
tants y They forced the doors and entered,
destroying and stealing everything they
found. Stephens took flight when he saw
the yard invaded by nlurderers, but he was
brutally assassnated; his head was divided
into several parts apd his body was very
much mutilated. Tho guard of the Jail, far
from giving aid to the victim, assisted the
aggressors, causing IA scandal by firing Sc
veral volleys. According to reports the SOL
diers did most of the sacking Of the house.
The originator of this horrible misfortune,
according to data not without foundation, is
the curate, whose exact words pronounced
the previous day Sunday in the pulpit
wele: "The tree that bears lad fruit should
be cut down." In order that the crime
should not be wanting in barbarity the bells
were rung Immediately.
Another dispatch says that it is believed
that the bells We're rung to raise the alarm,
and not as a token of triumph. BY infor-
nation received on the wires We are assured,
from the best American sources and Others.
that the Federal and State authorities are
pursuing the murderers with the utmost
rigor of the law; and although it was i'm
possible for the authorities to give prOtec-
ton to individuals, especially when danger
was not expected, they have not been slow
or inactive in seeking to enforce the veu-
geance of the law, and to vindicate the |
rights Of society. We hope among the first
arrests that were made was the originator
of the outrage, and doubtless an active i'll
stigator Of the assassination. The true
maxim in craftsmanship is, "The higher
the social standing Of a culprit, the more
certain and severe should be the punish
nent.'
Since the foregoing went into type we
earn by kilograms to the Government that
several persons responsible for the assassi-
latiOn OF Mr.. Stephens have been arrested,
md among them the curates of Ahualulco
md Techitan.
