Judge Ryland of Missouri After Social Card
playing aud Church Rafass-The Grand
Jury at Work.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. April II. Judge
Ryland of the Missouri cir cult court is
determined either to make a reputation
for himself or is going to make the anti
gamble law so obnoxious that it will be
repealed. When opening court some
weeks ago. he charged the grand jury to
take especial notice of progressive
euchre and such social games. This
instruction ended the matter so far as
the Saline county jury was concerned,
but when Judge Ryiand went to Pettis
county he enlarged upon his former in
zstructions and included in his denunoia-
ton the festive game of t.'high five, y
aud also church raff1es, which he placed
in the category of gambling games: The
people of Sedalia laughed at the good.
joke, and on Tuesday night the "Hlgh
Five' club, one of the toniest social or
CARNATIONS of the city, met at the house
of one of the members and
enjoyed themselves with the ex-
cItement OF cards while they
laughed at the eccentricities of the judge.
To-day, however, that laugh has been
turned into explanations of terror. The
grand jury sent out subppnas for the
and tonight the young ladies who were
subjected to the terrible inquisition of
that body are going around with an
awed look upon their faces, for
IN addition to the fact that
they have been compelled
to tell the names. Of those who partici-
pated in the game they have been sworn
not to reveal any Of the secrets of the
examination. The ladies at whose houses
the club has held its meetings since its
organization are in doubt whether they
viii be hung or Just sent to the peniten-
tiary and some of them have gone so
far as TO make preparations to leave the
city. They are the especially "swell'
portion of society. Just what action
the grand jury viii take in
the matter is not known, but as it is
composed of men who are noted for their
straight-laced principles, it is fair to
presume that they will bring in several
indictments of members of the "High
Five' club, and as there was a notable
rattle at the Catholic church fair last
January, it is thought the Investigators
will look after that, and indict some Of
the church members. There is much in
dIgnation over Judge Ryland's action,
and vigorous kick has gone up from
high places.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Western
roads, finding that the Alton is bent
rates on packing house products from
Kansas City, will probably agree upon
some modification of the present rates to
meet the Alton. The market has been
more active, but the increase in business
came from disposition to sell. Rock
Island, St. Paul, Union Pacific and Mis-
souri, Pacific were The features. The de-
cline was believed TO have been stimu-
lated by the bear party, but outspoke9
bears say they merely took advantage of
the efforts of the bulls to unload. The
market has changed from what it was
week ago in this, that everybody was
opinionless, didn t know, and intimated
that they didn't care; now there is an
active bear party, strong in its opinions
and, Judging from indications,
not wholly inactive in the
market. Whether it reads the
times correctly is another
matter, but probably most people will
consider any speculative effort an i'm
WHICH has lately prevailed.
$tThe exchange market was ia 10
pound weaker to-day on sales of cable
transfers by John Patton s. Co. for ao-.

1t does not seem likely that the VAN
derbilts would buy into such a concern as
the Union Pacific ,swhen they control it
as far as traffic connection is
concerned without money obligation.
There is decided disposition
at the moment to find fault with the
VandeTbilts and Union Pacific for enter
ing into contract which has disturbed
railroad harmony in the West. The con-
tract or alliance was made at a time
when the Vsnderbilts and Mr.. Adams
were supposed to be actively engaged in
a scheme to restore and maintain rates.
1t is barely possible that the story of the
purchase VI the OE1Ou EdCluO originates
in an effort to silence criticism Of this de-
sertion of principles and abandonment of
good intentions. Whatever may be the
facts, there can be no real peace among
Western roads while two of them ere al
lied against the rest.
Before Gould went away he was pro-
nounoed q bull, but his sojourn in the
wilds of Texas seems to have converted
him into bear. Gould knows how to
wait, and therefore while he
may want. and undoubtedly
needs the Alton, he may not think the
time ripe for gathering it in. Gould is
holding the market down, and is not
likely TO move much until he changes his
position.

PARIS, TEX, April LIN the district
court this afternoon Judge McClelland
passd the sentence of death upon Jim
Smith, colored, for the murder
of Andrew Sharon, white, on the
18th of Nav, 1888, and fixed
the date of execution on May
%, 1880, just six weeks from to-day.
Smith was tried and convicted at the last
term of the district court. The case was
taken to the court of appeals and af-
firmsd. When asked if he had anything
to say why the sentence of death should
not be passed upon him, he said that he
was innocent, and that he would say so
upon the scaffoldA
While the murder was one OF the most
brutal and revolving ever committed,
many people think that on account OF the
character of the witnesses upon whose
testimony he was convicted, that his SEN
tence should be committed, and viii ask
the governor 70 do so.

Telegraph Wires Cut by Bullets.

Every telegraph wire on the Union Pacific
railway near Sidney, Neb., was cut yesterday
and all communication with the west and Pa
eltic coast by this, the main route of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, was completely
severed from daylgh. until late in the after
noon. The reason for this state of things is a
novel one. 1t seems that "a lot of COWBOYS who
had been working on a roundup near sidney
visited that town last night, and when they had
exhausted ali the pleasures OF the metropolis of
cheyenne county ct daylight they mounted
their ponies and proceeded a few miles west of
the town, where they set up a target against a
telegraph pole. They spent some time in hit
ting 1t from various distances, but the mark
proving too easv for their skill they turned
their attention on and their six-shooters toward
the lnsulators and wires, and only desisted
when they had knocked of ali the lnsulators in
the vicinity and cut every wire with their bull
lets. The Western Union Telegraph Company
sent a large force of repairers to the scene, but
II took them all day to repair
