Banking a Blk.

Night before last nan came into
Wiuston's and approaching the fare
game picked up an ivory marker
valued at about cent, and throwing il
on card said:
GA dollar on the five"
The card won, and the dealer; who
knew the man we'll, paid the bet with
another marker, saying:
"When you play markers on me, ]
pay markers; when you bet coin, pay
coin"
The man had been in the habit OF
betting when he had no money, and on
occasions when he lost would saunter
away, relnarking, 81 owe you one"
He INDUCED in some words with the
dealer, and finally left the place to
avoid being kicked out. The game
keepers complain of considerable trouble
frem these petty swindlerS, and those
who attempt to repeat the operation
will be arrested. -s-=--rfs.

THE NEW WELLS FARGO.
The New Management Begin Operations.

If Pearson and his e ing of unscrupulous

responsible hands and operations have
been resumed. The Enterprise of yes

The engine is in ex 'eilent order and

on taking the engine to the shop that
the inside of the cylinder and piston

SMALLPOX on THE COMsToCK.
One Hundred Cases Expected Inside OF
Thirty Days.

The Virginia people seem to have
observed none of the ordinary rules fer
the prevention Of smallpox, and in con-
sequence the disease is rapidly spread
ing. The Chronicle of last night says
"Mrs. Fairbanks, the woman living on
G. street, who was taken with the small
pox last week, has been removed to the
pest-house. Hers is a very severe case.
The child of Mrs. Elkins, at the corner
Of D and Hickey streets, is reported to
have the disease, aud there is a panic
among the people in that neighbOrho0d.
To-day complaints have been made that
Patrick Gould, the expressman VINO
conveyed Mrs. Fairbanks to the pest
house, came directly back to the city
without changing his clothing Or fumi-
eating his wagon, and resumed his regu-
lar business of hauling bedding and
furniture from II. s. Beck's store.
This, if true, is certainly criminal.
County Physician Bergtein gives it as
his deliberate opinion that there will
be 100 cases Of smallpox on the Com
stock inside of 80 days. He says that
Mrs. Fairbanks case has done much to
spread the disease. She was visited by
friends from all parts of the city"

mitted it to be announced last night
that he would go to Albany this Tues

profess greater confidence since the
conference, claiming THAT eight of the
Republicans who pledged sheraselves to
keep out of the caucus have recanted.
ALBANY, May 24.-The haif-breeds;
to-day are wild over thirty-two sigma
lures to Il document lIedsing the sign

porters of Conkling or Platt or the
opponents of the Administration. This
will defeat the resigning Senators. The
leading candidates are Depew and Gen.
Wadsworth. The latter is ambitious,
and has fortune of two millions.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-There is
less confidence here Of defeating Conk-
ling than there Was last week, as it is
known that the Democrats will help
him rather than any other Republican.
If Conkling cannot be beaten, his OppO-

NEW YORK, May 24.-The Tribune
thus summarizes its Albany dispatches:
The Senatorial canvass proceeds active
ly at Albany. The defeat of Conkling
and Plttt is deemed certain, and
enough Republicans to insure it have
signed a pledge not to 60 into caucus.
The Assembly committee desires that
caucus shall be held on Thursday, bat
the Senate committee bias not yet acted
on the proposal. There is talk of
electing Cornell and Deprey as COM
promise. Public sentiment throughout
the State is strongly against Conkling
and Platt. A great turmoil is expected.

OUR GERMAN SENATOR.
He Appears to Highly Amused Constft
uency.

Gus Williams was accorded a hearty
reception last night at the Opera
House and his acting was SO clever,
agreeable and taking that his friends
could hardly realize that he ever helped
to holster up a negro minstrel entertain
ment. Ofcourse the play was written
to fit the man, and in spite of the cry
rlised against this sort of dramatic
work, there is no reason why such is
not the proper way after all, as such
plays are generally successful. Witness
"JOshua Whitcomb," "Messenger from
jarvis Section,' etc. It is vastly more
amusing to see an actor who fits his
ptrt because it is cut to order like
coat, than Il man who is struggling to
ill a part too heavy and large for him.
1t is ike trying to wear clothing made
for somebody else and might be best
exemplified by Otto Greenwood in the
riiment of George Tuhy. The support
Was fair, but with so much in the lead
ing roll the support can Away take care
of itself. The local hits were good
natured and amusing and the audience
everywhere pleased. Senator DinkIe
will appear again this evening.

FREE CANAL,

1t is proposed that the Erie canal
be pu. under the control Of the fed
eral government and that the tolls be
removed SO that it may be free as the
rivers for the boats that use it. The
Northwestern states and territories
are particularly interested in all that
tends to promote economy in public
works and reduce the expense Of car.
rying products to the seaboard. A
large portion Of their products goes
through the Erie canal-thc great ar.
tiiioaL waterway of New York state.
H%travag&nce and corruption have
greatly Increased the cost of keeping
Il il order and il seems to us that
the change from the state to
the federal government would he q
good one aud it will be of especial
value to the Northwest if it abolishes
the toll system, Even if the canal
remains entirely under the jurisdic-
tion Of the state the tolls should be
abolished and it would be no hard
ship to New York whose metropolis
receives such q magnifcen; business
through tho canal.
