An Interested lard Player Gets Beat Out
of Twenty Dollars.

Yesterday afternoon party of gentle
men in the rear room OF Main street
saloon, were deeply interested in trying to
ascertain who knew the most of the
mysteries Of draw poker. The game was a
lively one for time and there were several
lockers on who appeared to be as deeply
interested as the players. Among the num-
ber was a sedate looking young man whose
appearance would indicate tnat he was a
novice. and who to all intents and purposes
acted as though he would like to take a
hand. There was Jack pot and one OF
the players who had evidently been unlncky
run out Of chips and small money. He
must have needed both or either, and not
caring to leave the table, he turned to the
sedate looking young man and handing him
$50 gold coin, asked him to get it
changed. The response was a polite affirm
atide, and the young man departed and
has not yet returned. 1t is not known
whether he forgot the errand, or crossed
the street and laid the money on an un-
lucky ace, but it is sure that he did not ina
terialize. There was no weeping over the
affair when the fact became apparent that
the fellow had skipped. but there was con-
siderable merriment on the part of several
and some gnashng OF teeth upon the part
OF one of the poker players.

Delinquent Tax Payers Suffering the
Penalty of Neglect.

During the preceding days of the week,
each morning there has been held an auc-
ton sale in the office of the Treasurer at
the County Court House. The only articles
offered were certain pieces of property, i'm
proved and unimproved, upon which the
owners had failed to pay taxes required by
law. Deputy Treasurer Haupt acted as
auctioneer, and up to yesterday had real
lied the sum OF over $4,000, which was
added to the Golfers OF the County. The
penalty for deIinquents in this section is a
severe one, as, while the property can be
redeemed within three years, the purchaser
is entitled to his purchase money and five
per cent. per month on the sum to time OF
redemption. Yesterday well-known resi-
dent who had just discovered that he was
on the list rushed to the Court House only
10 find that he was too late as his property
had been sold. He was in consequence
rather indignant, not with the officials, but
with an agent to whom he had entrusted
the management Of the property and who
he expected would surely attend to the pay
ment of the taxes. To-day will be the last
dav of the sale and it will begin at 10
O'Clock q. m.

Her screams attracted the attention OF the

stroyed by the powerful vitriol which
burned out in the gashes made by the

TRENTON. N. j., March 15.-The terrible
snow storm which struck this city on Sun

done and serious annoyance caused. The

New York on Monday m orning was stopped

train was obliged to stay from Monday
afternoon Us-sf II O'Clock yesterday morn
ing when a relief party succeeded in getting
the hungry and half frozen passengers back
to Trenton. The experiences of the trav-
ellers we're fearful. During two nights they
were obliged to walk up and down through
the cars to keep from freezing. Drifts en-
tlrely covered the cars. The drifts in many
places were a mile in length, and from
twelve to fifteen feet high.

A AMisunderstandingi in Committee Throws
the Subject Back,

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Although the
House Committee on Public Lands directed
the preparation of general bill forfeiting
railroad land grants the whole sub ject WAS
opened up afresh to-day by the action OF
the subcommittee which reported bills for
the complete forfeiture OF the Northern and
Southern Pacific railroads land grants.
The presentation Of these reports occa-
stoned discuss on from which it appeared
that there was misunderstanding on the
part OF members OF the purport OF the
resolution adopted at the last meeting
OF the committee. With view to clear
ing this and defining the sentiment OF thr
committee, Stone OF Missouri offered a
resolution that the committee adopt the
principle declaring a forfeiture OF the entire
grant (where the roads were not completed
in contract time). Herman moved as all
amendment that the Northern Pacific De
excepted from the operation OF the rule,
and argued that the committee should first
report bills forfeiting granted lands oppo-
site unconstructed parts OF roads. Thus
the subject was carried back to the posi-
tion which it occupied before the preceding
meeting, and an attempt was made to vote
on it. The motion went over till the next

the writer claimed he was led to commit
suicide by remorse. The finding OF Ben
hayon's body and letters created a great
sensation, particularly as number OF sus-
picious circumstances led to the belief that
Benhayon had not written the letters, and
that he had been murdered by agents OF
Bowers. John A. Dimmig, a young man
employed as book agent, who was known
to have been intimate with Benhayon, was
arrested, and at the inquest which followed
mass OF testimony was produced which
did not tend altogether to clear up The
mystery. Dimmig was held, however, on
the charge OF murder, and his trial, which
commenced before the Superior Court sew
eral weeks ago. concluded with disagree
ment OF the jury.

In response to the structures and action
Of the City Council Wednesday night in re-
gard to the numbering OF the houses ui
Butte, Mr.. Haupt, who has the contract,
says there must be some misunderstanding.
The original contract, as per res oiutiOn, re-
quired that the Philadelphia plan should
be followed with the modification that
each street should be divided into four sec
tions. After the work had been begun it
WAS found that this was not advisable, and
upon consultation with Mr.. Bateman, of
the Council Committee, who had authority
to act, it was changed, and the system
which is being carried out was substituted.
Mr.. Haupt insists that the work is being
done well and rapidly.

programme seemed to be to make dis

body who offered any opposition to such
legislation as might be desired by he Pacific
Railroad Companies. The newspaper that
intimated or insinuated that he (Allen)
had ever had any connection with bucket
shops or stock jobbers in any way was
well, if even the idea should prevail reguir-

Bad Feeling Develops in q House of Ill
Fame When After u Personal Struggle
His ODnOnent

RATION, N. NJ, March 14.-This morning
at O'Clock Deputy Sheriff G.. w. Cook
shot and killed Eeputy United States
Marshal Frank Catlin in house of illfame
in this city. The killing was the result Of
hard feelings which originated over the last
election, since when it has been regarded as
only question of time when one would
meet death at the hands of the other. Cat
lin had been drinking hard all night and at
the hour mentioned the men went to
house for the purpose of serving a warrant
on the inmates. While there dispute
arose oyer the arrest made by one OF them
few days before. Both pulled revolvers.
Cook grabbed Catlin's right arm
and Catlin seized Cooks pistol.
In this position they struggled about the
room for some time when Catlin's pistol
was discharged, the ball grazing the other
man S face. Cook succeeded in getting the
pistol pointed towards Catlin when he ired,
the ball striking him under the left arm,
shattering the shoulderblade. Cook then
fired three more shots into the wounded
mans head, scattering his brains all over
the room. Catlin lived an hour. but in an
unconscious condition. Cook then walked
out and gave himself up and was lodged in
jail. Both men have great number of
followers and it is feared moe trouble will
result over the shooting.

The House.,

In the House the floor was accorded the
Committee on Foreign Affairs. The Senate
bill fixing the charge for passports at one
dollar was passed. The bill passed appro
priating S., 900 to enable the President q
extend to the inhabitants OF Tanega- -Sma,
Japan, suitable recognition Of their humane
treatment OF the survivors of the crew OF
the American barque Cashmere. Severa
private bills were passed and one measure,
referred to the Court OF Claims. The claim OF
Hannah II. Jones, executrix of Emanuel
Jones, gave rise to considerable discussion.
The facts are that during the war Emanuel
Jones purchased with Confederate money a
number OF bales OF cotton. In April, 1865
the Federal army took possession of Mobile
and a guard having been placed at the
warehouse in which the cotton was stored,
Jones was denied admission there. In
August the warehouse was burned down
and the cotton destroyed. The claim is
for the cotton so destroyed. Hooker, of
Mississippi, and Herbert, OF Alabama, ad-
vocated the measure as one of common
Justice. Hopkins, OF Illinois, Bland, of
Missouri, and others opposed the bill.
Pending action OH the motion to lay the
bill on the table, the House then ad-
journed

Loss of Vessels and Lives at Seattle
Perils of Travellers From Hunger

New YORK, March H. Steady progress
toward ultimate release from the effects OF
the great storm has been made to-day.
Large gangs OF la5orers worked all day.
Two or three lines OF surface cars began to
run this afternoon, and the others will fol
low more rapidly. 1t must be some days
before all the side streets, especially in the
poorer quarters, can be opened and greatly
needed supplies OF fuel and provisions be
taken in. Fortunately the temperature has
risen and the suffering from lack OF coal will
be much lessened. Trunk lines OF railroad
renewed their battle against the drifts with
better measure OF success than for the
PAST two days, as the drifting has ceased.
Managers expect to have trains running
with some approach to regularity by to-
morrow.

Extreme Suffering From the Storm in

PATERSON, N. j., March 14.-The snow
storm which set in Sunday night was the
greatest ever known here. A fearful gale
piled up enormous drifts and did great
damage. The drifts in the streets are fif-
teen and twenty feet high. Many dwellings
are completely shut in. Hundreds of com
muters, who left here for New York Monday
morning. were snowbound in the cars for
two days few miles away and couldn't get
either way or communicate with their
families. Hundreds of narrow escapes from
perishing in the streets occurred here Mon
day night. The police rescued scores of
men, women and children who had to sleep
in station house. Many buildings were
damaged by the wind. Market Street
Methodist Church spire was bent and
twisted mills were unroofed and huge trees
blown down. Several persons are reported
here as missing, and are perhaps lost in the
snow. Fears OF loss are large in the country
districts. Coal and milk are scarce, and
poor people suffering for the necessarics Of
life.
