Instructions for Playing Game Useful in Willing
Them Away.
louisville Courier-Journal.1

louisville COurier-Journal1
Progressive euchre takes IL persons. There
are three tables, each supplied with cards. One
is called the Ace, one the King and one the
Queen table. Take the aces, kings and queens
from one of the packs and, after they have
been shuffied, let each person draw one, the
ones drawing aces going to the Ace table, those
drawing kings to the King table, and those
queens to the Queen table-the persons draw
ing black cards being par tners, and those draw
ing red partners. When this has been done
the playing commences; regular euchre is
played. No games count save those at the Ace
table, and each players record at that table is
kept by the scorer.
When q game has been finished at the Ace
table the parties who are defeated 60 to the
Queen table, and those who have made the
most points at the King table take their places
and try to defeat their victors, while the par
ties who have made the most points at the
Queen table take the places of the persons who
left the King table for the Ace table. At the
King and Queen tables they do not stop play
ing because they have finished a game but
keep right on until the game has been finished
at the Ace table; nor, on the other hand, if a
game has been concluded at the Ace table, and
the King or Queen table sets have not finished
their game, do they try to finish it. The ones
making the most points are the victOrs, whether
less or more than five, the regular number fol-
game, has been made 1t is usual to give
some present or favor to the person winning
the most games at the Ace table, and also the
ones getting the feweSt.

ANOTHER COMRADES VIEWS.

To THE EDITOR: Considerable discussion
has been going on in THE TRIBUNE about life
insurance in the GAR. Permit me to offer a
few suggestions on the subject. The last an,
nual official report of the Order gave us mem
bership of $4,000, in round numbers, OF
members in good standing in all States and
Territories. Suppose that each member in good
standing should pay into the treasury ST.
This would make a reserve fund of $253, 600
Then suppose that each member in the Order
in good standing should pay two cents in the
general fund, and the member who dies, if he
was insured, would receive a premium OF
5000. The reserved fund would be used to
pay losses Immediately upon the reception OF
proof of death. and the assessment of two cents
would be made without any delay. Last year
there were 1900 deaths of members. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that the deaths would
increase with each year; but, nevertheless, the
assessment would be very moderate for the
amount secured. Suppose that each member
should receive only $2,000-that would be a
very nice sum for the widow or heirs; and,
then, there would be many soldiers who would
have no heirs when the money would remain
in the reserved fund-O. w. AMEs, Co. l., Sd

A Singular nueI.

A singular duel was fought last week near
Albany, Ga, in which five contestants engaged
-four on one side and one on the other. Four
young men, two Carter brothers and two Char
tain brothers, met Wright Weekly riding on
the road near Albany, returning from dance,
and Weekly challenged the four to fight him,
which challenge was promptly accepted. Sew
eral shots were exchanged while the men rode
furiously along. Finally Weekly was shot
through the brain, and his horse, wheeling
about, bore his dead body back to the house
from which the guests had been watching the
deadly conflict. The Carriers and Chartains
rode off, one of them, it is said, being mortally
wounded. Alfred Carter brother of the Car
tiers spoken of above, was murdered some years
ago. and his widow, against their wishes, sub
sequently married Wright Weekly. They have
ever since tried to get Weekly into trouble,
and have at last succeeded in making their
sister-in-law for the second time widow by
murder.

A Young Mans Heroic Act.

A thrilling story of heroism at sea is reported
in Philadelphia. At the risk of what appeared
certain death, Capt Edward Rice, of the
schooner j. A. Griffin, was rescued by his son,
who plunged overheard after him. Capt. Rice
makes the following report of his rescue:
when our vessel was a little south of Hen
lopen it was struck by terrific storm, during
which was knocked overheard. / sank into
the sea thinking that my last hour had come,
and gave up all hope. Those of the crew
who could see the accident were Mortified.
Without moments hesitation my son, fasten-
ing a rope to the taffrail, jumped overheard
with the coil in his hand. was just aft the
ship, rising from my first sinking. He swan
out to me. though how he buifeted those waves
in that cold water God only knows. moment
later he had me in his grip, and with a power
that was almost superhuman he kept himself
afoat while he passed the rope around my
waist. Then catching the rope himself and
holding me up, for i was helpless, he signaled
the crew to draw us in. They got US alongside
and we were safe. l was pulled up first, more
dead than alive, and my son was then hauled
up. My boy is only 81 years Old"

that no expense had been spared. And poor,

Young Lady-Not apparently. Mrs. B. is

CONSPIRACY of Railway EmpIoyees.

1t is reported that seven locomotive engineers
on the Ashtabula & Pittsburg and the Erie 81
Pittsburg Railroads have been discharged for
the alleged offense of securing more pay than
they were entitled to. 1t is stated that they
conspired with the time clerk at Erie, who
made up the time, and that $4,000 have thus
been overdrawn. The clerk resigned short
time since, and his successor discovered the
errors. The officials and the men refuse to
talk on the matter. The engineers discharged
have been in the employ Of the companies for

CURIOUS ALIMONY CASE,
The Eighth Suit between tho Same Hus.
band and wife IN Fifteen Years,

lFrom Morning Editonl
curious case came up before Judge
Wright iu the Common Pleas Court Monday.
Ar Isabella Copenhafer sues her husbs nd
Reuben Cope aha'er, for alimony. The
plaintiff does not ask for a divorce, but sim
ply for slimony. The hearing Monday WAS
upon motion for slimony pendene htc. The
main issues will be tried in October.
The curious part Of the case is that it is
the eigth suit OF . similar character brought
by this plaintiff against this defendant since
1870, six OF which came to final trial, the
last one five years ago; besides the six there
were two others which were settled without
trial, one OF them about two years ago. An
other curious fact is, th"t in the first suit,
brought in 1870, George Spence was the
plaintiffs attorney, and in the second
one 7. j. Pringle acted in that
capacity. In the present case
both OF these gentlemen represent the dc =
fendsnt, while the plaintiffs attorney is John
l.. Zimmerman. Much amusement was
created In court by the fact of the plaintiff 5
attorneys haviug gone over to the defendant.
On account OF the numerous suits it has
been necessary to bring for the plaintiffs sup
port, aud on account OF the extreme cruelty
alleged against the defendant by the plaintiff,
the court fixed the amount of the alimony
psndcnh elite at $7J-$50 to be paid in FIVE
days, and $25 10 fifteen days.
