A QUEER POKER GAME.

On Tuesday night game of poker was
played in private room in one OF our
hotels which wound up in a decidedly pc
culiar manner. About Q o'clock that even
ing a well-known citizen Of Genoa was con-
vivializing with two professional sporting
gentlemen, at Hinston's bar, when one CT
the latter proposed game of cards, which
was accepted by the two others. The three
men. as before stated, adjourned to pri
vate room and the party was soon there
after in S. limit game of poker. For a
while the Genoese played in excellent luck,
when the proposition was made to play
without limit. which was also unanimo usly
agreed upon. It appears that the two
sporting men had entered into contract to
fleece the countryman, and they dealt him
four jacks, the dealer took four queens, and
the third received four aces. The man
from Genoa believing that the game was on
the square, Clipped 800; the lace man
"saw him" and raised" another 500; the
dealer "saw" that and ''raised' it $3.50. AT
this iuncture of the game, the Genoese,
y nose cfetLlt Is n L, StIlt uo"A W VIZ oiISo
Of the hotel for $500, which was at once
brought to him, at length ''show'' OF cards
was called for, and as he sports did not
want to impress their victim with the idea
that they were playing him falsely, only
the man with the queens produced his
hand 10 sooner was this done than the
victim, presumably knowing what he was
about, whipped out revolver and struck
the dealer over the head with it, knocking
him senseless. Then he went after the man
who held the four aces and in tones Of
thunder inquired,
What have you got, you ID -
-? Show up
ooh, Oh" replied he, ~ amt got
nothing; I was only blufing; that's all"
With thai the Geneese picked up all the
money Oh the table and walked off with it.

The approaching autumn will be an
unusually active and prosperous season
for business of all kinds Already are
many firms overwhelmed with orders
which in previous years were not looked
for until late in September. Especially
is this the case with lumber dealers, hard
ware merchants, and all Others engaged
in the sale of building materials Heavy
orders began to come in the latter part of
July and August, forty days earlier than
usual, and have increased so rapidly tina.
employees are engaged from early morn
until late at night, packing and shipping
goods.
Dry goods dealers are making extern
sive improvements in their stores, to &C
commodate the increased stock of goods
and the expected increase in patronage
Many of the strictly wholesale merchants
express grave fears that the late fall bus
mess will be seriously affected by the
drought, although they frankly admit
that at present the trade is booming
thirty days ahead of time, and with
every prospect of continuance.

British schools.

The head of the British school system,
says the Springfield Republican. has lately
reported to Parliament through Mr.. Mum
della that there are now 1896 900 chill
dren registered in the schools in England
which are under the inspection of the
government. The average attendance is
2,751 900, and 81 per cent of the children
pass in arithmetic, reading and writing
There is now expended for primary edu
cation e5.06S. 900, of which 81 ,9S2, 900
is contri outed by the government, e.
431, 900 is paid by the children in weekly
tuition and the rest by local taxation,
endowments and by other means. The
Wesleyans earn the most. This is the
growth practically of ten years, yet the
expenditure is proportionally very much
less than half what we devote to SINH
lar purpose in Massachusetts,.

ssHe Rather Liked IT,,

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.-General Su-
perintendent Kenney of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore division OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad was on the
Presidents train. He says it is true that
the Presidents pulse fell ten beats before
reaching Baltimore. The President
seemed cheerful, and, when asked if he
would like to travel faster, replied:
Eyes, he rather liked it" Kenney says
he seemed to be in very good spirits, and
was not under the effects of any opiates.
He was as rational as could be, and oc-
casionally chatted with the doctors.
Kenney added that he was surprised to
see the number of people who turned
out, particularly in the country places, to
witness the passage of the train. Even
at prominent stations, where there were
crowds, the people raised their hats with
reverence, and all seemed affected by
the gravity of the situation.
