He Would Have Been Wealthy,
Had He Been the Regular Sort.

The Cincinnati Times Star tells of a
queer gambler. He would wager with
himself, and was correspendingly sail
ing ecstatically or downcast and gloomy,
win or lose. In sporting parlance,
he was constantly lat horse and
horse" with himself. and he found
in that double-headed condition the
highest delights of anticipation. Al
though he lacked the determination to
actually bet, still he haunted the pool
and card rooms with his hands In his
pockets. jingling his silver coin and
transferring his money from one pocket
to another. according to whether his
right or left side won. He kept regular
account mentally W n his right and left
hands, and thus realized all the excite
ment of betting without being subjected
to the liability of dropping his wealth,
but at the same time he was constantly
on the verge of actually participating
In the game, but never could muster UP
courage to deposit his money on the
table. His great scheme was to
select number in the Louisiana State
lottery, which he could carry in his
head, and he awaited the report of the
draw ings with feveriSh anxiety, which
for several days previous to the event
almost prostrated him, so nervous and
wOrked-up would he become. One time
he actually won the capital prize in this
way. The gain of so much wealth, in
his mind, proved to be a shock he could
not Withstand. and superinduced an at

And Will Probably Be Suspended
Therefor.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Oct. 12.-H. J.Kline.
colonel of the Missouri division of the
Sons of Veterans. Friday, telegraphed
the camp in st. Louis that under no con-
ditions should they turn out as an Or
ganization to receive President Harrison
upon his arrival in that city. His COM
mands were disobeyed, and he now an
nounces that the officers refusing to
recognize his orders will at once be sus-
pended. Col. Kline is a Republican,
but he says that the organization of
which he is colonel is non-political. and
that If such things are allowed, chaos in
the order will be the result. On the
other hand, the ST. Louis Sons of Vet
Grams claim that their acts were not
political, and that they turned out SIM
ply as one of the great organizations of
the country to pay their respects to their
executive. They will appeal to the COM
mander-in-chief.

IN A FIRE TRAP.
Four Persons Lose Their Lives

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Shortly after 2
O'Clock this morning Putnam's Europe

Adams street. vas burned, and four per-
sons lost their lives. Mrs. Minnie Rob
inson was killed by jumping from a
burned TO crisp. Fl. Z. Sims, for
merly Pinkerton attache, was burned
to death. and Edward Peyton, colored
porter, suffocated. The cause of the
fire is still unknown. The house is
lighted by gas, and the proprietor in-
sists that there was no lamp in the hall.
The fire originated on and was con-
fined to the top floor. The total loss is
about $4,000. Tom Dowler left his
room and entered the flaming hall
to meet his death. One of the windows
opened directly on the fire escape, and
his roommate made his escape easily.
Presence of mind would have saved his
life S well as that of II. K. Sims, who
had room directly across the hall.
The impression prevailed among the
police and firemen present that Mrs.
Robinson had her baby in her arms.
This was not the case. Mr.. Robinson
descended the fire escape. carving with
him his infant child. His wife did not
follow him from the room along the hall
to the room in front of which was the
fire escape. The dense smoke and
flames made her lose command of her
senses. The building resembles a fire
trap. The halls are narrow and crooked,
and the narrow stairway is in the center
of the structure. A very little fire was
sufficient to make enough smoke to fill
the halls and render them impassable

fourth story of the building after being

made the tragic descent to the

broken bones or displacement of either
of her limbs. She was burned almost
to crisp over her entire person, save
where protected by her corset. which
she had not taken off when retiring.

CLEVELAND, o.. Oct. 12.-The police
are investigating supposed murder
mystery. George Brand. colored man,
aged twenty-five, was found dead in
the dooryard of his sisters resi-
dence, at Waller court, this
morning. a red mark about his neck
showed that he had been strangled, and
from projecting scantling was piece
of clothesline, but suicide seemed out of
the question. Brand lived across the
street. Last night he went home intox-

house, assaulting two or three men. 1t
is believed that Brand was afterwards
killed and the rope attached to the
scantling to convey the idea of suicide.
No arrests have been made.
