A New Gambling Came.

Great excitement has arisen among tho
members OF certain London clubs by tho at
tempt made to Introduce tho new-fashioned
game, now the rage in Paris, into the billiard
rooms. This game processes to be game Of
skill, whereas IL is barefacedly one OF chance.
II is called "la barque," and, like the once
fashionable game OF ecarte, which began In
the antechambers among the lacqueys waiting
for their masters, and ended by being adopted
by the masters themselves, has been well
coined by the gamblers as n substitute for the
forbidden pastimcs OF roulette and rouge ct
noir. Tho name is derived from tho little
wooden hut which, with an archway In the
middle, is placed at one end OF the table. De-
yond the little hut Is u board upon an inclined
plane. This Is drilled with holes, each one
bearing n number. Tho players endeavor
with the billiard cue to roll the balls through
the archway on the inclined plane. The player
whose ball enters the hole with the highest
number is pronounced tho winner Very
large sums hava been lost In this game.

REUNITED AND HAPPY.
A Long Separated and Divorced
Husband and Wife Happily Rec



Onciled.
A happy elimination of a long.existing
domestic trouble in one family was consum-
mated last night. For years John and
Mary Esputa lived in peace and content
ment on Capitol Hill as man and wife, and
accumulated something of this worlds
goods. Misunderstanding crept into the
household, small at first, but so magnified
as to finally cause rupture in the family
circle. The husband, whose health was
poor, wept South to live, and made his
home in the State of Florida. In August,
1880, he obtained divorce from his wife
and on the 9Th of last month had a suit in
equity instituted here for sale of the prop
erty, which was part of subdivision M,
square 903, and distribution of the pro-
ceeds.
Mr.. Esputas health continued to fail and
q fortnight since he returned from Florida,
believing that death was drawing nigh and
desirous Of spending his last days hero in
his old home. Here, too, was his former
wife. He thought over the situation and
reflected on the past, and conscience began
to play its part. He was in doubt whether
or not he was in the right, and if he had
not been most to blame in the separation.
The more he thought about it the greater
was his desire for peace and reconciliation
with his wife, and while in this spirit
timely friends came to his assistance. Con-
WINGED that he was pursuing the proper
course, he went to the house where his
former wife resided, obtained an interview
with her, and few minutes later the
reconciliation between them was complete.
AS further evidence of it, last night
they were reunited in marriage and hap
piness now reigns supreme in the family.
The night of the marriage Mr.. Esputa
made will in which he bequeathed all his
property to his wife.
This morning, Immediately after the
Equity Court convened, the chancery suit
brought by the husband was dismissed at
his request, and he is now not only re-
united with wife, home and friends, but
free from litigation.

The straw Bond Cases.

In the Police Court to-day Judge Shell, in
accordance doubtless with the decision he ar
rived at before the warrants of arrest were is
sued and in consonance with the
feeling he has all along dis
played against the accused, Messrs
Cabell, Minnix and Dickson, held these gen
tlemen to answer the action of the grand jury.
Their bonds were reduced from the original
amount, $4,000, to $1,000. AS no evidence
was adduced to show conspiracy or any fraud
on their part, this is the last we shall over
hear Of these cases, except, perhaps, In the or
