The POker.PlaYinC Craze

The craze for playing poker has broken
out among fashionable ladies in Washing
ton, writes a correspondent. The doipps
OF the Army Poker club, where the lives
and regulations of so MANY officers have
been blasted, are a matter of general
knowledge and gossip, but during Lent.
when it was so wicked to dance, the fair
DANES consoled themselves with the clat-
ter of the chips and the excitement of
the draw" 1t is stated that one Young
society belle recently lost over 5000 at five
sIttlngs. This is quite large sum in
game where betting above twenty-five
cents was prohibited. The favorite game
among the young ladies, however, is the
penny ante, scent limit" This is al
most exclusively confined to ladies who
have only limited or moderate amount
OF pln-money each week, but there is said
to be heap of fun for the spectators
Very few gentlemen are admitted to this
game. A much more refined and respect
able form of amusement has been estab-
llshed for their enjoyment. The poker
parties where both sexes play do not use
vulgar chips or still more vulgar money.
that would be carrying the thing too far.
elaborate and costly favors are provided
paid for, of course, by the gentlemen
and then the entire party sits down to a
game of "freeze-out." This is q very
popular and entertaining style of amuse-
ment, and is played quite extensively.
Some OF the lady players have become
adopts at the game. One of the most de-
mure-looking young misses tn town re-

NEVADA'S GOLDEN PEN.
Locating 1t Under the Mining Law
The Capitol, Mint, Etc, Com
structed of Gold Rock.
TCarson Appeal, April y. |

A great number of claims and extern
sions have been staked out and recorded,
and several thousand dollars in coarse
/ gold have been taken out. The Homo
Nevadensis claim, owned by General
Powning, of Reno, and Major Dennis, of
Tuscarora, is showing mp in fine style A
mill is to be erected at once for the re-
duction of the rock. The metallic plate
process will be used.
The State authorities will make an eff
fort to keep this valuable deposit within
the possession of the State, and our people
will have cause for congratulation if this
can be accomplished, for then the $3.50 900
school bonds can be lifted, and money
enough to run the entire State govern
ment taken directly from the ground at
very slight cost, convict labor being used,
of course.
1t being the law of the land that all
auriferous rock or ground is located by
citizens of the United States, and it hav-
ing been shown that several buildings in
this city are built of this rock, they were
at once located by enterprising pros
pectors, but it is doubtful whether these
locations will hold. James K Kinney
located the Capitol under the placer
mining law, but Thomas l.. Burgess, of
Reno, came along soon after and located
it as a ledge, which takes precedence,
claiming the building as his groupings
Yesterday the assayers were kept busy
making tests OF specimens Clipped off
the Capitol, Mint and other buildings con-
structed of this rock. The returns never
fell below $500 ton. An estimate of
the value of this stone used in buildings
in Carson foots up $50, 1856, 900.
1t is within the possibilities that Carson
may have to tear down her public build
ings for the purpose of getting the gold
contained in the building stone, but if so,
she can easily afford to rebuild them of
marble

A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER.
A HOrsethief Attempts to shoot n
Utah Isanchman and is
Fatally stabbed.

Frank Gillespie, somewhat noted fol
his horse stealing propensities, we learn
! from late arrivals over the Osceola and
Frisco road, put in an appearance at G.
w. Rowland's ranch, just inside of the
Utah line few days ago, and demanded
certain horse that Rowland had been
keeping as an estray for two years and
more. The latter asked him to describe
the brand, but instead of doing so he pro-
posed to see it first and describe it after
wards. Rowland then told him he was a
notorious horse thief, accompanying the
remark with a slap across the mouth.
This caused Mr. Gillespie to subside and
take the matter under advisement. He
rallied in the morning, came back armed
to the teeth and claimed that Rowland
had grossly insulted him. Rowland this
time was no match for this Oliver, so he
hauled in his horns and led the way to
the corral where the much coveted horse
was. 1t is said on the way Gillespie drew
a pistol and attempted to shoot Rowland
in the back, but was prevented by a Mr..
Smithson, who reached over Gillespie's
shoulder and prevented him from lower
ing it. 1t is said that Rowland drew
knife and stabbed Gillespie twice, once
in front and once back of the jugular
vein. Gillespie is not expected to live.
1t the struggle for the possession of the
pistol it went off, burning Smithson's
hands. In the light of all the informa-
ton at hand we think the hammer of the
pistol inflicted the wounds.-WhHe Pine

latest public surveys, showing the rail
roads, mining districts, counties, ETC.,

the meantime. Very respectfully,

The Butte Prize Fight.

A rumor gained currency this morning
to the effect that the city council had held
a secret session Monday night and passed
a special ordinance permitting the Sulli-
van-Ryan fight to take place in Butte,
and also declaring the anti prize-fighting
law unconstitutional. The sporting ele-
ment was not little elated and the
moral people disgusted; but inquiry soon
demonstrated the report to be hoax

The LiuuOr Trials.

j. w. Pitts, who was tried before Justice
Piper yesterday for violating the county
license law, was acquitted. 1t was proved
that the liquor was sold by young man
named Thomas Etchell, who was left in
charge OF the premises, and who had
strict orders not to sell. The young man.
therefore was the real offender but it is
not known whether he will be prosecuted.
The trial of Sven Johnson was contin-
ued from yesterday afternoon until to-day,
and was not concluded this forenoon.
The case against Mclaughlin, of the
Sugar House Ward, was set for trial this
afternoon at O'Clock.

A Promising PrODerty.

j. R. Duff, so we have been informed,
is rustling like good fellow in Salt Lake,
and with more than even chances of get
ting some prominent mining men of that
locality to take hold of his mine down at
Chief District. Mr.. Duff has had three
patches of his ore worked at Salt Lake
and took up two sacks more during his
late visit, so that the mine is pretty well
represented. Two of the parties that are
willing to take hold are Messrs. Chambers
and Mccormick Phoebe Record.

Wants q FOur.Wheeled Bicycle.

| don't think much of the Star bicvcle,
remarked an amateur wheelman this
morning, as he pasted a piece of court
plaster over a cash in the back of his
head, "and amt partial to the Column
bia either. Pve tried both. One rears
up in front and the other kicks up from
behind, and it is simply a choice be-
tween striking on your nose or the back
of your head. The man who invents
four-wheeled bicycle that knows how to
behave itself will get my patronage" and
the amateur wheelman placed his ''POny
Star" under his arm and limped home.

A Startling Announcement.

The following paragraph was printed in
a city contemporary this morning, and the
DEMOCRAT offers a premium to any one
who can solve its meaning. l. must be
that the Second District is to have two
judges, and the First be left without any,
which is rather startling announce
ment:
Judge Foreman has requestedGovenor
Murray that he be retained in his seat at
Beaver. Judge Powers will, therefore,
be assigned TO the Second Judicial Dis

THE ODD FELLOWS.
Closing Session OF the Grand Lodge

Evening.

The constitution for subordinate lodges
was adopted during the afternoon session
of the Grand Lodge, l. o. o. F., yester-
day. In the evening the officers elected
last Wednesday were installed and the
Grand Lodge then adjourned for one

be in session the entire week, but the
energetic and expeditions manner in
which the BUSINESS was transacted en-
abled the members to get through with
their work much sooner than was eX
pected.
