A NEW WORKERS EXPERIENCE LIZ A LTTTxs
GAME OF DRAW AT THE CAPITAL.

NEW Workers. EXPERIENCE LIZ A LITIx8
GAME OF DRAW AT rHE CAPITAL.
From the N.Y.world To-day.
There was fascinating game OF poker In o
private house In Washington on the evening az
March IL, and at its conclusion the following
morning one of the participants had lost about
$4,000. One OF the results Of this pleasant
party is q suit to recover $500 on Q promissory
note, which will be tried before Judge McAdam
this morning in the city court
The defendant I'm the suit is Richard I. Hmm
now stopping at the Murray Hin hotel. He
had gone to the capital to push an electric heht,
met in company with a Boston friend. He W.

gested, however, that an unlimited game

He bet heavily before the draw, after which he
was delighted to ind that he had been given
was very happy when player opposite not only
saw his bet, but raised him. Several raises
were then made on each side of the table, until
then call was made, and AIR. Hull was stag
gered when his opponent laid four Fights upon
After a few remarks about his poor luck Mr..
Hull continued playing with varying results
until, in looking at his hand after the deal, he
found that he had been given q cold 'Jack full"
Then he determined TO regain what he had lost
and also put money In his purse. His previous
experience did not have its effect of making
him cautious when he found that he again had
an opponent with a good hand 6who returned
every raise he made. The first faint streaks of
the breaking day were struggling with the gas
light in the room when the call was made. His
opponent showed him "queen full" Mr.. Hull,
$4,000 poorer than when he entered the room,
arose, and with q sigh declared that he had had
enough of the game.
When Hull began to play he informed the
party that his pockets were not swelling with
ready cash, but he was told that his promissory
notes would be good money for any
amount he might Iose So when the party
broke up he had given notes TO the amount of
about $4,000. To DIR. Danaher he gave note
for $500. That gentleman, however, claims the
note was given Tor money borrowed from him
with which to pay another mem Der of the party,
and he now sues for the payment Of the note.
His counsel, ex-JudEe Curtis, says some ugly
things about card players who secure introdoc-
lions TO gentlemen and after losing In q card
game evade paymentby pleading the gambling
act, and il they win pursue the losers remorse-
lessly until their claims are settled. On the
other hand, Marshall p. Stafford, counsel for
Mr. Hull, has an opinion amounting to q con-
viction that his client was "steered against q
crooked game" and ought not TO honor tha
note.

The New York Times to-day says: VIM. Steeger,

so violent that she began breaking the furni-
ture in the rooms.
Mrs. Schmelt, who lives at No. 1853 Clinton

WINTER TRAVEL IN SIBERIA.

The Secretary of State has received letter

OF the Lena river, who befriended the
survivors of the Jeanette expedition,
reporting his arrival at Irkutsk September
21st, on bis way to the mouth Of the Lena
river. The roads from Tomsk were very bad, and
accidents to the wagon were frequent, causing
ong stops for repairs. Travel at night was not
advisable, If possible. He tried it once, and it
took him ali night to make fourteen miles.

Purchase Of Government Supplies.
TREASURY OFFICIALS MUST KEEP THEMSELVES
INFORMED AS TO THE MARKET PRICES
The discovery that the contracts for govern
ment supplies in New York we're at prices
greatly in excess of the regular market
price has disclosed the fact that it
has been the custom of officials in
the department having these matters
in charge to approve the bills without having
any idea as to what the market prices were.
Chief Clerk Youmans has started out to reform
this practice and has directed that papers
giving the market quotations in the various
cities where the government buys its supplies
be taken at the department., and that the
as to the fluctuations Of the markets to be able
to decide whether or not bids are at fair market
prices. It Is thought that the government suf-
fered heavy losses on account of the ignorance
of its officers concerning matter OF this kind.

Help for the Galveston Sufferer,

10 the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 81, 1856.
In behalf of the suffering people OF Galveston
who were deprived of their homes by the recent
fire in that city, 1 earnestly invoke the kind
Offices of The STAR. 1t appears that the losses
were, at first, underestimated. and that the
wealthy citizens of Galveston will be unable to
properly care for the homeless during the ap-
preaching winter.
respectfully request THE STAR to receive and
transmit any donations which the charitable
citizens OF washington may desire to send
through its agency, TO the hundreds of poor
people in Galveston, whose destitute condition
appeals to the sympathy OF their fellow-citizens
throughout the country.
Your obedient servant, w. II. GRAIN,
NJ. c. 9TH District, Texas.
THE STAR will very cheerfully receive SUBJ
scriptions for the aid Of the Galveston sufferers
Certainly no more urgent appeal TO the sympa-
thies of the people of the country has been pre-
sented for long time than that afforded by the
case of the homeless, destitute victims Of the
