Ruined on the Mississippi.

Atlanta Constitution.
An Atlanta man who Is particularly fond
Of poker, and who has in times gone by
''blowed I'm" a snug fortune on faro, told
the following story to crowd of listeners
yesterday:
1.-The Mississippi river steamers used to
be the gamblers paradise, you understand.
Money was bet until you just couldn't rest.
Il was going down the river one evening
aud as usual there was game of poker on
board. Some fellows that l took to be up
to snuff were losing right straight along.
They lost piles of it.
AFTER a while there was a cry of pick
pockets. A green looking fellow, dressed
like well-tO-dO farmer, was bowling like
a wild man, tearing up and down the deck
and crying. ruined! ruined! ruinedp OF
course everybody on board had to be
searched.
''While that interesting proceeding was
going on the country fellow went down on
the lower deck and continued to pace up
and down, crying, 'ruinedi ruined! ruinedl'
He had his hat i'm one hand and a little
black gripsack in the other.
Every now and then he brought his hat
down on his head with whaek, as if to
emphasize his mournful cry of ruined!
ruined! ruinedr When his turn to be
searched came he threw the little grip over
on the deck and exclaimed. Search and
be d-dp
when the gripsack was opened it was
found TO contain dirty shirt and pair of
socks. These were replaced, and as the
fellow received his sack he resumed his
walk and again took up his mournful cry OF
'Ruinedp All night he paced the deck like
a lunatic crying ruined, ruinedI ruinedr

The american Association.

The American association teams have
been playing little over week and it
would take pretty good judge of the ma
tiOnal game to say which of the eight will
fly the pennant of 1886. No one of the
clubs shows any marked weakness. and it
may be predicted at once that the fight will
be much closer one than that of last sea-
son, when the St Louis Browns had the
victory well in hand before the series was
half played out The Pittsburg team is be-
hind aud the Metropolitan on the next
rung of the ladder above. but it would not
be safe to wager that one or the other of
them will not be in first place before the
end of the next fortnight. Louisville and
Athletic are tied for first place, with st.
Louis, Cincinnati and Brooklyn uncomfort-
ably close in the rear. The attendance at
the games up to date has been remarkably
large. The record in figures is appended:

Settling With the Poles.
Special to the Globe.


WINONA, April 24.-The railroad difficulty
is being gradually settled up. To-day settle
ments were made with many of the disaffected
Poles and Bohemians ut 81 per front foot for
right of way privileges in front OF their resi-
dences, and the few who are holding off are
expected to settle Wi. hin a day or two ut the
same rate or Whereabouts. The st. Paul has
continued laying track wherever the line is
clear, being still at work on the main line on
the public levee and on the spurs east of La
fayette. 1t is probable that the direction of
the road will be changed somewhat in front
of Laird, Norton Co.'S property from the
line laid down in the ordinance, and run in a
southerly direction over the spur that was
used by Schroth g. Ahrens at their old mill.
A crossing agreement will doubtless be ar
ranged with the Northwestern that will allow
the st. Paul to resume the work near the
Gate City mills. Supt. Case was in the city
this evening looking the work over. Mar
shall Easily will continue part of the extra
force of policemen on duty IN the Polish
quarter of the Fourth ward. although indica-
tions hardly warrant any further fear of vio-
lence.
