WITH DICE AND CARDS.
A Young Mans Drop to Ruin and
Criminals Grave.

NEW YORK, December S.-On the Sd
of November Charles A. Matthews. a
young petroleum broker of this city.
who wae at one time a member of the
firm of Brodt & Co., committed suicide
IN room in the Colonnade Hotel, Phila-
delphIa. Various reasons have been as
signed for this act; but recently the real
facts IN the case became known to his
friends. 1T was known that he was an
lnveterate gambler, but the extent of
bis losses was only guessed at. Detec-
tive Pryor, OF the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel, III the course of a conversation said
to-day: Matthews was as foully muir
dered as if the pistol had been held in
another hand and another's finger had
pulled the trigger. Charlie was always
an 1nveterate gambler, and, having
always enjoyed plenty of money, he used
to play for enormously high stakes.
About two years ago he brought up at
Monte Carlo. He began to play and
played with such success that in a
very few days he had broken
the bank twice, or at any rate
caused them to stop playing for that
day. He eventually left there with
S125, 600 of the banks money Ia his
pocket, and started for home full of good
intentions as to foreswearing play for the
future. Matthews was marked as their
own by few New York crooks who
happened to be at Monte Carlo. They
followed him up step by step from Nice
to Paris, from Paris TO London, from
London to Liverpool, till at
last they had him safe on
board of the Atlantic steamship;
once there the rest was easy. When he
arrived at Sandy Hook Matthews had
parted with $40, 900 cash and two notes
for SO, 600 each. He had made up his
mind he had been swindled, ana ex-
pected the robbers would be content
with their large haul in mouey and
would let the two notes go, But they
were too impu7ent for that, and not
only brought suit, but attached his
baggage at the hotel. Then he
came to me and asked me TO do what |
could. The men were found and con-
ciuded to let the matter drop. On the
very next trip he made TO Europe they
we're on board. And this time he drop

The Wool Market

The semi-monthly wool circular OF
Messrs. Mauger a. Avery, of Boz
ton, contains the following which
will be of interest to all dealers Ira
wool: "For the benefit of those Of
our friends not fully conversant with
the new tariff we add few remarks
explaining it. Foreign woods COM
peting with our domestic fleece will
pay, after July !, duty of ten cents
per pound If the cost is thirty cents
or less. This will be a reduction on
thirty cent wool of three and three
tenth cents per pound. But most Of
the better class of Australian and
English woods cost over thirty cents
per pound and on these the duty will
be twelve cents per pound, so that on
wool costing between thirty and
thirty-two cents. the reduction in
duty will be about one and one-third
to one and one-half cents
per pound, but on wool
costing over thirty-two cents per
pound the reduction will be again
over three cents per pound. The diff
ference is so small as to have very
little if any effect on the value Of do
nestle woods. Stocks of Texas woods
very much reduced; assortment poor;
prices steady. The domestic receipts
from February II to date were: by
rail, l227 bags; coastwise, New Or
leans, Col bags; San Francisco, 2 bags;
Galveston, 8 bags; Old Dominion
steamship company, 8 bags; George
town, bag.
The importations from February II
to date as reported were: London,
1890 bales; Marseilles, 692 bales; Liv-
erpool, 800 bales; Calcutta, $50 bales;
Hull, 344 bales; Southampton, 1856

And now comes the Austin
STATESMAN, Gov. Ireland's main sup
porter for his nomination for gov
ernor. and thus talks:
The danger appears imminent that
Gov. Ireland's administration is drift
ing into more decided form of per-
sona government than has ever been
known before in Texas. Everything
seems to direct this administrative
current into personal channel, and
while the governor may be taken on
ward in this current without proper
thought of surroundings by which
it is urged, while it may be
falsely conceived that strict adj
hesion to personal friendships
lin public matters is productive
of the greatest public good, the
STATESMAN asks of him earnest re-
Election as to the future, asks him to
halt before he is swept too far, to draw
in his craft long enough to contem-
plate the yawning chasm ahead, TO
assert power for the people that
may save him and his administration
fron utter political destruction"
And now the people, looking at land
frauds and the influence of syndicafes
ask, What shall we do to be saved 2"
