THEY BRoKE THE BANK.
A Faro Firm that Game to Grief In this
City YO ,terdAy.

City YO .terdAy.
For some time past faro bank his
been running III the third story Of build
ing situated right in the heart Of the city.
Who the parties are that put up the dust
10 start the bank with is not known, but il
has been conducted by well known
sporting character. He ran it quietly and
there are not a few citizens in the
town who are acquainted with the
resort. Last night the place closed. Yes.
terday afternoon, n fly individual from a
large city in Ohio compelled the house to
turn over the box and announce that the
bank was busted. The news spread and
was generally talked OF last evening.
As before stated, the game heretofore
has been a quiet one and there have been
no big runs. Genial fellows would drop
in for an hour or so buck the tiger, drop
a few dollars, or pick up a few, more fre-
quently the former, and then quit, well
satisfied with their sport, win or lose.
Occasionally there would be a pro.
traCted set.to with the dangerous old
animal, at which time comfortable little
sums woull be placed on the queen, or
the lucky five or some other equally pop
ular card, as it happened to strike the
player, but never anything happened to
the layout under its present management
sudh as happened to it yesterday.
Thursday afternoon the banks books
showed between 5000 and 500 in the
drawer. Enter the fly individual reterre
to. Also another man, resident OF this
city and well known. They pIsy; both
are lucky, especially the man from Ohio.
He raked in the Doodle iu way that was
to himself. He placed big
bets and won.
He quit at supper time with between
5000 and $500 more than he had when he
entered. Yesterday these two worthless
returned to the manager. The Ohio man
brought his luck along with him and re-
sumed operations on the winning plan.
He was like the man who "bet on the ace,
the king and the tray and called the turnin
a terrible way for seven consecutive
deals" then he quit; !; lie had to-the bank
was busted and the roll, four hundred and
some odd dollars, was passed over in as
graceful d manner as possible.

TRAGEDY Ar sTAuNToN.
A Farmer Shot Dead Rt the Fair Grounds.

~
ThrOats Of Lynchtug.
SrAuXToN, Va, Oct. 1G-William NJ.
Brown, a prominent citizen Of this county,
was shot aud killed in the rotunds Of the
fair grounds by Steuart Koiner. This is
the second man Koiner has killed.,
II is said that Koiner had declared that
lie intended to kill Brown on sight. They
met in the crowded rotunda OF the fair
grounds, Browns wife having hold of one
arm and their little child the other hand,
Scarcely a word passed, when Koiner
placed his pistol almost against Browns
body and fred, the ball entering two
inches below the heart. He was taken
into the open air, where he died in fifteen
minutes, Koiner was at once arrested
ard hurried to Jail. The news flaw like
yildfire through the large crowd, and in
twenty minutes the feeling found vent in
threats Of lynching. The Mayor ordered
a military guard around the I'll tonight.
A post mortem examination will be held
tomorrow. Brown was an energetic and
prosperous young farmer, aud was gen.
erally liked. kOiner is member OF a
prominent and wealthy family. When at
college, some years ago, he killed fellow
student in a quarrel. After long trial
he was acquitted. His friends claim that
his mind is unbalanced, and insanity will
be the plea OF his defense.

No citizen ought to refuse to obey the
subpoena Of Council. Ifhe can promote
the public welfare by testifying he ought
to feel it his duty to attend. Certainly
this will be more agreeable than to be
forced to attend, as the committee will
now attempt to do. There, for example,
is our esteemed contemporary, the manager
Of the Register. He has been subp@uaed
for the prosecution; his name has been
called in the congregation Of the Wise
men. This is not the good example which
the world has right to expect from its
public educators. This witness ought TO
be on hand this evening without having
to be forcsl to attend. IEwould not be a
pleasant sight to see him dragged through
the streets by the strong arm Of the Mar
ket Master.

This play will be given at Charley
Shay's Academy Of Music this afternoon
and evening. The Cincinnati Enquirer
says OF its performance at Robinson's
Opera House: "Per announcement, the
bill was changed yesterday afternoon and
night, 10 Leah, the Forsaken," and drew
crowded houses at both performances, and
q more pleased and delighted audience
mas seldom been seen. Too much in
praise cannot be said Of Miss fuckers
"LeAh." Miss Tucker has in her favor
youth and beauty, coupled with genius.
Theslpport was all that could be desired" !"
The press OF Baltimore, Washington and
other cities is equally emphatic in its
praise OF Miss fuckers Leah, which is her
iavorite role. She is said to be particu.
larly strong in the curse scene at the end
OF tho fourth act, and never fails to arouse
the audience to the highest pitch Of en-
thusiaam. The claim ia made that Miss
Tucker is the greatest Leah on the stage,
and any one can readily believe, having
seen her work during the week, that the
rendition will be an unusually strong and
interesting one. The house will undoubt-
edly be crowded at both matinee and
evening performances. Miss Tucker can
feel assured OF cordial welcome when
ever she visits Wheeling.

CoLUMBus, O., Oct. lG.-GovernoT Hoad-
ly in an interview, expresses regrets over
the information which he has received d.,
that there has been corruption in some OF
the counties and districts. While there
was no money used against him 30
far as he knows, on the State ticket, he
says he has it on good authority that the
Republicans have been making the most
reckless use OF money in some Of the
counties. He c0ngratulates the State and
the Democrats that they have accomplish
ed one thing at the election, il nothing
else, and that is that they have done away
with October election in the State, and it
will be some consolation, he saws, il there
should be a Democratic Legislature in or
der that they might be able to administer
a rebuke to Sherman and his methods.
