went on from early in the evening until
about midnight, and all the time tina
One-eyed man seemed to get all the good
hands. Several times the college grad
uate thought he saw that the man was
cheating, but he did not appear to notice
1t.
"At midnight the college graduate
rose up and quietly said: 'Gentleman
we are all tired playing, and some OF us
about broke. l propose now that we
take q recess, and have some oysters and
champagne. After we are through we
will throw away these cards, get q new
deck and see ii our luck don't change
We will set out to play square game,
and (here he looked hard at the One-eyed
stranger as he put his hand on the re-
vo!ver at his belt) and the first man we
catch cheating we will shoot out his other
eye. Well the motion was carried, the
oysters were eaten and the luck did
change. The one-eysd man lost every
Cent of his winnings, and as daylight
broke through the dirty panes of the sa-
loon windows he arose declaring him
self dead broke"

DURING the presidential campaign the
Democrats charged the depressed con-
dition of business all to the mismanage-
ment Of the Republican party. and pic
tured what glorious times we would
have if the Democratic party should
gain the ascsndeney and assume the
rsiRs of government. They succeeded
In slscting Grover. The party that pro-
fessed to DO able to do 80 much for our
suffering country has been running the
government for three months and the
poor laboring man is just as hard up as
ever, business is as dull as ever, if not
in worse condition, all over the eoun-
try. In view Of this fact it is rather
amusing now to see the Democratic
press charging providence with the hard
times, and claiming that times would
have been hard no matter which party
was in power.

Friday reported that the trial trip Of

roundly abused John Roach, the builder.
The animus of their fight against Mr..
Roach is In the fact that he favors the

Maxwell's Defense.

ST. LOUIS, August 13.-The defense OF
Maxwell, the alleged murderer OF
Arthur Preller. will probably be that no
murder was committed at all. About a
month ago report was published that
his life was heavily insured and that the
companies had refused to pay the money
to his relatives, claiming that it was a
put up job to get the insurance and that
the body found in the trunk was not
Prellers's at all, but subject from the
medical college. According to kilograms
from San Francisco, Maxwell now saws
that the conspiracy theory was
correct and that in due time he will pro-
duce Preller alive and well. and show
where he got the body found in the
trunk. Further than this he will say
nothing. The police here boot at this
defense and still hold that the evidence
against him is sufficient to convict him,
though they do not claim to have any
other evidence than what is known to
the public. They do not believe that
Preller's life was insured for any large
amount. The prisoner will arrive here
next Sunday.

The Cabinet, after a pFotracted discus

reply to be made to tAe representatives
of the railway companies on the quas-
ton of whether the railways be e1-

of railroads, and that the law of June
22d shall be enforced. Subsidies will
not be paid. and not one cent of Gus

tains that it owes. the railroad nothing
except the small amount of subsidies
which would have accrued to them
since the publication of the decree, and
this amount, and that falling: due
in future months, will be- in
claded in the governments float
ing debt. The government will
not deliver ap the subsidy certii-

action of the employees yesterday in
