o STOPS.

STAR a pleasant call Thursday.
Mir. Alexander, Of Chicago, is a guest
Of the Martin hotel.
They are ahoat to organize a q. A.
R. Post at Oelrichs.
Con Berlin, q Lead C;tyi.e. is pertak-
ing Of the healing waters at Hot
Springs and holding forth at the Mar
tin house.
!. McI.ain, from the city of Oelrichs
visited the hamlet" on Thursday and
put up Mt Martins.
1t may be u stereotspea phrase, bu t
still the beautiful weather at the
wear very pleasantly. If You
doubt it, come and see.
Mr.. Green and Rev. Cairns. came
down OF Tuesday, from Custer, that
city of magnificent mountains.
s. Blythe, of Sioux City, is q guest
at the Martin, and is eeasting his vis-
ion upon the magnificent scenerv and
bathing his form in the salubrious pool.
A gymnasium provides the Young
men Of Hot Springs with q great deal
of hcalthfnl amusement. One young
MAJ said he could almost skin the cat
if he could get his feet OFF the floor.
The county commissioners have q word
or two TO say this week which necessa-
rily curtails other matter, which per-
haps would not be of so much ianpor-
tance to the local reader.
Hank Firestone the genial lumber
man made a descent on the burg yes
terday. Henry dimes at the Martin.
and picks his teeth in front OF the Min
nekahta bank.
Sheriff Clifford is a guest at Martins
and is so we'll pleased with the accomo
dations of the hotel and Hot Springs
generally that ne always wears a smile
when he is in town.
MIR. j. j. Davenport. Of sturgis and
one of the officials of the bank at that
place, is taking alay-of at Hot Springs
and is more than surprised with the
size Of the town and beauty Of the
place. 1t is Mr.. Daveport's first visit
to the Springs hut evidently from his
talk it will not be his last.
The Oclrichs Times evidently, expects
to round up the county officials in the
misty sometime. When its bottle of
wrath is uncorked, there will be a fu-
neral among some Of the county officials
to slow music and Greek fire. The
Times man is all broke up over the ac-
ton Of the new board. His inalienable
rights have been trampled upon, his
Importance ignored, and the board and
county treasurer have displayed a loos-
ness in their official proceedings that
has very nigh destroyed the official re-
lationship existing between the county
treasury and the Times mans wallet.
This is exasperating.

A Story of Domestic Unhappiness from
Union Hill.
Marriage is q failure for George
Wesser, of No. 40 Union street, Union
Hill, both socially and financially.
His wife has left him, taking with her
their nine months old babe and all
the money there was in the house.
Wesser is at present employed at the
West Hoboken car stables as. an
hostler. In the summe time he works
at his trade of ~plastering.

found him in his rooms on the top
floor OF Guendel's Hotel. at the corner
OF Union street and Hudson avenue.
He was engaged at a washtub, this
being n result of his wife's desertion.
Through an interpreter he said it was
true that his wife had left him. She
was accompanied by her sister, Katie,
and $50 of his savings. Whittier she
had gone he had not the slightest
idea.
This is not the first time she has
done this, 2 he continued. 'sSome time
ago she went away, but afterward
came back, and, as she seemed penl-
tent, / forgave her. Now that she has
gone again she can keep the money

DOODLE THROUGH THE KITTY.

The Green Legislator Won at Poker, n
the Senator Got There, Too.
81 can tell you a poker story that
did not come out during the Doodle
investigation, although it had some
thing to do with Doodle, said a mem
Der of the third House to a .abune re-
porter yesterday. 1T is a true story,
and took place a few days before the
Senatorial caucus went on the
speaker. There was one member of
the House who, it was thought, could
be influenced if properly approached.
He could not be bought, but he had
not declared himself, and it was said
that whichever side could make the
most favorable impression would catch
his vote. So a committee of three was
appointed by one set of the managers
to devise ways and means to make a
favorable impression.
"'Come up to room No. - tonight
one of the three said to the member,
and we'll crack a bottle
1.-THE member declared himself in
with the small bottle, and was on
hand promptly. The committee of
three was on hand, and a small bottle
was cracked in short order. Then it
was proposed that the party indulge
in a little game of poker. The member
said he didn't understand the game.
The committee of three assured him
that they could easily explain the
points so that he could play all right.
1t was a simple game, something like
casino, and it was usual to put up a
dollar or so on the results of the
hands, just to make it interesting.
s'The member sat into the game.
He was honest in his statement that
he did not know the points. He didn't
know a jackpot from a jackknife, and
on the first hand he discarded one of
three ten spots, in the hope of drawing
the ten of diamonds, which he thought
counted as big casino. He would have
been easy game, but there was no in
tention of fleeing him. He was
allowed to come in on every
hand before a bet was made.
If he held two threes and was
rash enough to bet blue chips, others
laid down and he raked insthe ante.
His chips accumulated, and he pro-
fessed to be in love with the game.
The crisis came on what proved to be
the last hand. The member held three
fves and was willing to bet big money.
The size of the pot grew to very ample
proportions. One Of the committee of
three had Ave diamonds, but when it
came to a show down, he generously
informed the member that his three
fives were good, and the member gath
cred in the pile, His evenings enter
tainment had Melted him ~, 900. No
body was sore, however, and the com
mittee Of three laughed at their bad
luck, and complimented the member
on his shrewdness and the CELEBRITY
with which he caught the intricacies
Of the game. He felt OF the roll,

A. the Edge Of a Precipice.

Policeman William Dietz, who was
on duty at the West Shore ferry in
Weehawken, noticed a man yesterday
afternoon standing at the edge of the
Palisades lust over the mouth of the
tunnel, and ge%sticulating wildly. Fear
ing that the man might be contem-
plating suicide, the policeman fastened
up the bluff and seized him. The mar
struggled desperately and might have
dragged Dietz over the precipice had
not two laborers come to his assist
ance. The man, who was suffering
from delirium tremens, was finally
oyerpowered. His arms and feet were
tied and he was carried in a hack to
the town Jail. Recorder Seymour sent
him to the County Jail for examina-
ton by the County Physician. The
man was incapable of giving his name
and was booked as John Doe.

Both Legs Cut OF.

James Venee, a boilermaker, of No.
312 Avenue e, Bayonne, boarded a
train of empty coal cars on the New
Jersey Central railroad at Bergen
Point yesterday afternoon to ride
across the long bridge over Newark
Bay to Elizabethport. just as the
train reached the Union county end
of the bridge the bottom of the car in
which Venee stood gave way and he
fell through. His legs were cut off
near the knees. He was picked up
unconscious and removed to st.
Mary's Hospital in Elizabeth. This
morning he was still alive.
