Poker on the Rail..A Game In
which Two Aces and q Rev0l'

Correspondents youngstown (ohio) Banner
Anincident occurred on recent trip
which l made over the Union Pacific
which may be of interest to your readers,
as it was at one time of uncommon inter.
est to me. Wewere rolling along between
Salt Lake and Omaha when l made my
way into the smoking-car to enjoy ci-
gar. noticed group gathered in the
center of the car, and crowding my way
up found two men gambling. One was a
well dressed man, but bearing the general
appearance of blackleg; the other was
a veritahle miner, Just as he came from
the mountains, with a long grizzly beard,
rough, coarse and dirty clothes, but with
lots OF gold The play was for quite
large stakes, and / heard whispers that
the gambler was about to fleece the mi.
ner, and much sympathy was manifested
for him.
The game-draw poker-still went on,
with hardly word spoken by the play.
ers, till finally, when large sum was on
the board, the gambler, being called to
show his hand, threw down three aces and
two queens, and reached for the money.
The miner stretched over and held his
hand, and laid down two aces, showing,
of course, five aces in the pack. He then
reached back and drew large navy re-
volver, cooked it. placed the muzz,e di.
rectly between the eyes of the gambler
still holding his hand. Not a word was
spoken, but each looked steadily into the
eyes of the other. Soon the hand began
to quietly move from the money, the form
of the gambler to draw back, and still the
revolver followed. He stepped into the
aisle, and here the scene became 80 unin.
teresting to me and several others pres
ent that we dropped under the seats.
The gambler slowly backed toward the
door, with the revolver following till the
i door was reached, and he passed out
The miner cooliy let down the hammer
of his revolver, replacing it in his pock
ct, swept the money from the board into
his pouch, quietly lighted his pipe and
settled back in his seat as if nothing haC
happened. The strangest part of the
whole business was that not word was
spoken from the time the gambler laiG
his three cards on the board till he passed
out OF the car door.

THE SHIP HAGERSTOWN.

The ship Hagerstown, which was struck and
set afire by lightning on Tuesday night, has
been freed from fire and the water which was
pumped into her. This morning she has
steadied herself, and with the exception Of
Che damage to her under the forecastle, is in
sound condition. We must compliment En-
gineer OConner on the manner in which he
managed the fro, it being the first ship saved
in that way. Our reporter made thorough
investigation OF her this morning and found
that none Of tho cotton ait was aat all dam
aged
The tugboats Tyler and Norman were
pumping into her yesterday, when Capt Hall
had the hose thrown overheard, prefcrring to
place her in charge Of the Fire Department.
When on fire Engineer O'Connor placed two
engines for pumping her out, while the others
threw the water into her. The fire was alto
gether confined to the forward part of the
vessel, and, from competent authority, tho
damages to the ship were ascertaincd not to
be over fifty, thousand dollars. She is at
present entirely free from water. and the
cargo. with the exception of the cotton on the
first deck, is entirely free from damage
About 1900 bales of cotton have been taken
from her and stored in press, where most Of it
is ready for reshipMent.

Some time ago We published tax bills ard
other evidences OF the extortionatc taxation
which the property owners in Mississippi are
obliged to endure under the rule Of the black
and white plunderers, who have fastened
upon them, and now it seems that Ames and
his crew have invented new process for
wringing more money from the impoverished
people. It's calleda privilege tax and imposes
IN annual contribution to tho tax collector Of
sums varying from few dollars to few
thousands for the privilege of pursuing q rep

mode Of ginning livelihood, except farming
and preaching, is included in the list of occu-
pations which render u person liable to the
payment Of the privilege tax; and in order to
make its victims pay up promptly, it is pro-
Vided that any person exercising any ct the
privileges enume Grated in the bill without first
paying the tax shall be fined or imprisoned,
" both, at the discretion of the court. The
law also provides that no suitShall BE- MAIN

SOME GEORGIA LAWYERS FEES Yesterday
IN conversation, some one remarked that Gen
Toombs never crosses court house door for
less than $4,000, when Judge Lochrlne re-
piled that there was nothing strange about
that II wouldn't take any case for smaller
fee than SIC, 600" This caused the crowd to
discuss legal fees. and it was found that sew
eral large fees had been paid Atlanta lawyers
incs the war. Mr. Hill, in the celebrated
Metcalf case, received 100000 fee. Judge
Lochrane fee Of $40, 900 in the Brunswick
and Albany case. Mr.. Hill receiveda tee of
S25. 900 for his management Of Kimball's case.
Judge Lochrane received $4,000 as a fee
from Mrs. kimball in the kimball House
case.-ANanta Herald

CLINTON'S GAME.
Wonderful Conversions in One
Night.

It will be remembered that when the repor
Of the committee on examining the books o
the Auditor was called up in the Senate We'd
nesday there was expressed on the part Q
many members q hesitancy about voting TO
ats adoption because it would be prejudginl
the CASE
The report was taken mp, however, ant
by vote of twenty to fourteen passed
When the news of the Senators action
reached the Clintonian headquarters, there
was quite stir raised, and Immediately the
friends Of the Christian statesman put thei;
heads together to set about to retrieve tho day
they had evidently lost.
Carondelet street was visited; tho book
keeper of Clinton, for instance, importnned
one prominent broker Tor a loan and offered
to bet two to one that the Senate would not
pass the concurrent resolution suspendlng
The Auditor There was q hurrying 70 and
fro, and those who do mostly cOngreSate upon
the flags say that there are convincing roa-
sons why Clinton should not DO suspended.
1T is reported the Senate is now oil night and
that the moral Auditor will DO severely let
alone.
At the State House yesterday, before the
opening of the Senate, certain brokers had
the whole question sifted out SO thoroughly
that they wanted to bet on the result of the
vote. In order that orr readers may keep
posted, we give the names of those who voted
FOR the adoption of the committees report.
The fight is waxing hot, and Clintons cppo-
nents, approaching the tactics brought to
bear, are preparing another petard which will
produce as much discontinue in auditorial
ranks as did the impeachment.
The following is from the official journal Of
Wednesday, and gives the senatorial vote on
the adoption Of the report:
Under operation Of the previous question
AND on call Of the yeas and nays, tho Senate
voted to adopt the report by tho following
vote:
Yeas Alexander, Anderson. Brewster, Cage,
Detiege, Eustis, Grover, Harper. Hsrwig,

the floor of the Senate that the members.
voting against the suspension Of Clinton from
Office, have been influenced by improper
motives

Speculation in Paris.

[Paris Correspondence New York Tribune.l
But it is wasting time talking Of music just
now. The only fashionable harmony is the
jingling Of gold. There is rage Of specula-
ton. Since the Spanish Mobilier started
from 500 francs to rise to 1900, the capital
stock amounting to 12O, OO0, 900, the result is
that the stock operators have made $40 0OO. 600
in few days on these securities alone.
Therefore everybody is crazy for his share in
tho golden shower. The Bourse is invaded
by an entirely new public. The young
Creves who have devoured their fortunes
in the Quarter Breda want to repair them
with one stroke at the Bourse. The young
ladies Of the Half Word are equally eager to
try the hazards of the game. They are not
allowed to enter the Bourse, but they drive
in their coupes all around the building. It is
comical to see these little powdered faces
leaning out Of the carriage windows to give
their orders. They call them bankeresses
The curbstone brokers now wear white era
watts, and talk Of ''our lady clients This
will soon end by the ruin Of these ladies. But
the men will have to pay for it.
The great fnanciers pass with mien unalt-
cred amid these revolutions Of the spectators;
they have hard heads which the games Of
the Bourse can not intoxicate. And speaking
of this reminds me Of story which paints the
portrait OF old Baron Rothschild. They were
playing, at Marquis dAhgre's, genuine
tinancier's game, that is to say, tor very small
stakes. The Marquis was losing. He threw
q louis on the table, which rolled on the floor.
The Marquis d'Aligre dropped on all tours to
look for his money, disturbing everybody and
del 'ying the game. Baron de Rothschiid was
dealing "A louis lost ~ he said. "that is
worth looking for;' and putting on an express
sion of deep anxiety, he rolled up thousand
franc note lighted it at the candle, and held
it to assist Marquis dAligre in his search.
The whole character of the old gentleman was
in this action. He was terribly aiicious Of
his pennies, but he would sacrifice thousand
franc note to do any one favor or get the
laugh on him.
