Death at the Card.Table.

One day last week, four citizens of
Grand Island were playing a game of
poker-5-cent " ante"-in we'll known
saloon of that place. A dispute arose
as to the game, when one of the parties
made use of an expression about as fol-
lows: 81 hope Christ will kill me if it
isn't So" He had dealt the cards, and
the betting on the hands was over, when
he passed the pack to the next man on
his left to deal. The dealer shuffied
the cards and handed them back to the
man to cut them, at the same time CIV
ing him light slap to attract his atten-
ton. The man did not move. He was
found to be stone dead. -Omaha Bee.

FANNIE Mcguire, young white girl,
eloped from Houston, Texas, with
Walker Denning, a negro employed by
her father. After q marriage ceremony
they went to living in a hut in the negro

was amazing, because she was educated,

TIE HANGING OF KEE0E.

RpITol HsRALD:-Kehoe, who was
hung at Pottsvills on Wednesday was the
sixteenth "Mollis Naguile," who WAS sxe>
cuted In the coal region. It must bs cor
esded that Kehoe, II all that was said Of
him wsrc near true, Was man whom So
cisty, for ito protection, WAS compelled TO
punish; but 1t Was the duty Of society TO
Justly punish. 1t was charged against
Kshos that he was guilty Of score Of
murders; but with the aid Of the Reading
railroad dstestives. the coal and iron police
and the Pinksrton Agency, completely. only
only one of then was brought homo 70 him
In that one--the one for which hs was exc
euted-there was such conflict Of testimo-
ny. that his conviction was disgraee to the
jurisprudence of Pennsylvania. Think Of
it The two men who did the actual kill
ing wers convicted of murder In the second
degree, white Kehoe, who was charged with
plotting a crime, judicially decided to be of
the second grade OF murder, was convicted
of the nrst or capital form of the crime. 1t
10 no wonder that George Lear the Attorney
ueuSIhl VI IcuhoySnnto1 Who al o4oHt
voted to save Kehoe, declared on Tuesday
last: 81 wash my hands clear Of Kehoe's
blood" That Kehoe was innocent of Lang
don's murder receives additional corrobora-
tlon of innocence as he was about to enter
the temple of eternity 10 be judged BY God
for his sins. 1t was predetermined by the
jupta of the coal operators, who manipula>
ted the courts and juries in the coal regions
that Jack Kehos should be put away. They
effected their purpose, but its unwisdom
win IN good time appear, as justice will not
leave unpunished men who violate the
sanstities of the law to rid community Of
Q violent and wicked man. The Efforts Of
the lsw-abidinx people Of the lawlsss re-
gion, have been tarnishea by the execution
of KeAoe for the Langdon murder. For some
one Of the many other murders, which It Is
ssid could be brought home to him, he
ought 10 have been indicted and convicted,
and punished for 1t, but not for the one he
suffered.

Why are not the cipher telsgrans
Investigated by Congress?


Is the failure Of the Democrats to set on
foot the necessary and proper investigation
an effect of that hostility to Mr.. Tilden
which the majority Of the Democratic
members Of Congress have from the frst
50 strenuously manifested against him7 Do
they think it more likely to result in his
political destruction to leave him without
any clear chance ofpositively removing the
cloud of suspicion which the publication
of alleged translations of these kilograms
has left resting upon his good name?
Why do not the Republicans move for
an investigation? Do they fear that its
final result would only be the casting of
new disgrace and new shame upon their
damaged party?
One thing remains certain: The truth
and the whole truth about these telegrams
ought to be officially and positively es,
tablisbed, no matter whom it may help

SATAlN'S PARENTS.

1t seems strange to us that while
many people are quite positive as TO
the entire knowledge of Hell. no one
seems to inquire as to whom Satan S
parents were. This though must have
struck an Eastern man when he wrote
to his favorite paper: ''Who were the
devils father and mother. and who
were his relations = Who were they,
sure enough! We have no recollection
of ever having heard of the old folks
before. Their talented and dis
tinguished son seems to have been the
only member of the family who
possessed sufficient force OF character
to make himself felt in the world, or
even to get his name into the news
papers. And it would seem that even
he was indebted as much to accident
as to anything else for his remarkable
success in life. for if Eve had died
when she was baby, or had positively
refused to eat that apple he gave her,
where would he have been to-day, we
should like to know! Why, the
probability is that he would never
have been heard of outside of his own
Congressional district.
