Portarlar could not make out the
name of the vessel, as he could not read
English, but said that she was clipper

with bright spars. Capt Elwell
thought that in his weak condition he
ought to have medical attention, and
considerably stood out of his course
and landed Portarlar at Block Island.
He took him up to the hotel, got a
doctor and saw that he was comfort

THE WHIST TOURNEY.
The Great Cavemdish Beaten at His
Own Game.

Chicago, June 22.-The big drillroom
on the seventeenth floor of the Masonic
temple was the scene Of an exciting
game of whist yesterday, for as the
> If the tournament approaches,
the interest increases. -Four of the
teams playing single-table duplicate
have dropped out and entered the lists
of the interclub game. The game be-
tween Henry Jones, of England,
"Cavendish," and n. B. Trist, Of New
Orleans, on the one side, and the best
team obtainable on the other was play
ed off Tuesday evening. Fisher Ames
and Mr.. Morse, both of Boston, were
the opponents who met 'Cavendjsh'
and Trist, and the two renowned play
erS met at Waterloo. Thirty hands
were played and the Boston men won
by seventeen tricks. The game, how
ever, was straight whist, in which the
element Of luck predominates to some
extent. On Tuesday evening a game
was announced to take place between
the east and the west, all from east
of Buffalo to be considered eastern
men. AS there was so small a per-
centage of fasteners present, how
ever, it was decided that a game should
be instituted of Chicago against all
corners. The game played was straight
whist and Chicago was beaten by 100
tricks. The team taking the prize in
this contest was from Carthage, ILL.,,
and consisted of Messrs. Carlton and
who made Twenty-Five, the
largest number of tricks on the win
ming side. One of the teams against
them, however, Flint and Northon, of
Chicago, made a score Of 40 points
On Monday night, when duplicate whist
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1893-06-30

was played, there were 16O PLAYERS
and any number of members standing
ready to enter the lists. but Tuesday,
evening at straight whist there were
but 124 and it was with difficulty that
this number was obtained, as straight
whist is less popular. An Important
matter discussed at the business meet
ing yesterday was that of holding the
succeeding tournaments in sections.
The idea is to hold them in different
portions Of the country, section be-
ing held in New Orleans, another in
New York, Boston, Minneapolis, and
so on, the champions Of the districts
to attend the tournament. In this way
it is believed the difficulties of handling
such large conventions as the present
one can be obviated.
Tomorrow our highest teams will
compete. The opponents Of these teams
will be determined by lot. This will
be the semitinal contest The election
of officers will also probably take place
tomorrow. Then on Saturday the mat
ter will likely simmer down to two
clubs and the game will be fought in
earnest.
There was no contest last evening. the

The tilt between the Milwaukee, club
and the Capital Bicycle club of WASH

ment of 1892 was played off recently

sneak lead made by Washington man
is said to have Won this match for his
club. In the evening Chicago played
against the world ut duplicate whist
and won, forty tables participating.
This victory speaks volumes for tho
strength of the Chicago club, but the
Twin City players did their share to
prevent it. MeSsrs. ]. II. Briggs and G..

we were sitting out on the veranda
Of the bungalow we shared, smoking
and looking past the diodars out at
the great range Of snow-capped noun

made us both turn, and we saw an
orderly marching quickly toward us.

knew. The colonel wished to see us in

It was a terrible blow to our hopes

nothing to be done but to obey, and

out small belongings. Our "tats,' or

us, and by morning reached Rhamsi, a

we were made welcome by the few

sallow, washed-out looking lot of fell

bushes that bordered the road. The
carrier spoke in undertones, and soon
fell asleep. 1t was near midnight when
awoke, owing to the sudden stopping
of the men. I was out of the palan-

that something was the matter with

CAPTURE OF GORILLA.
Fort Taken by Boy and Handful of
Followers.

Leading up to the gates of the fort
from the wharf was winding road
Up this road the young rebel and his
men marched, the boy leading off some
twenty feet in advance, and swinging
his sharp razor-like sword much as one
would walking stick. I could hardly
believe my eyes," says the narrator of
the incident, in Harper's Weekly. Here
was a mere boy with only a handful
of men marching straight up to the
gates of the strongest fort in Nicarag qua.
Instinctively I found myself on the
dock and following them. My arms
consisted simply Of revolver, and l
-olbt if in the excitement I realized
that I might have occasion to use it.
To look at that body of men swinging
along up the roadway in splendid uni.
son, one would have fancied that it
was merely accommodating party in
from tramp. Surely, l said to myself,
their real character will be discovered
before they reach the gates. They
never possibly can deceive the guard.
AT this moment the great, ponderous
gates opened, and an officer, the officer
OF the day, stepped out. He had evil
IDENTITY just sprung out of bed, for there
was a half yawn around his mouth as
he made his appearance The sentry
had told him that achievements were
coming up the road. This was good
news. II Wclit mean lighter duty at
the post and more companionhsip. All
this doubtless passed through the mind
of the officer of the day as he stepped
out to greet the commander of the re
enforcing party. AS for the thought
Of caution, it had not entered his mind.
The rebels he had heard of, but had
not Seen. He doubted if any really eX-
listed; and if they did, they were hun

Where are you from?' he advanced
some twenty feet beyond the gates.
Inside the gateway the guard was
drawn up, prepared to see the new ar
rival. The CHEEKY hail of the officer of
the fort received an indistinct reply
from the young Spaniard. In another
moment the two We're but few feet

the officer of the fort lay writing

LEFT IN A BOAT TO DIE,
Barbarous Refusal Of a Captain to
Rescue a Castaway.

One of the most pathetic and heart
rending stories Of the long series of
disasters at sea during the late terrible
gales was told to Press reporter by
Capt. James o. Elwell, of the steam
ship Panther, which arrived at Phila
delphia from Fall River recently. One
evening at 6 o'clock the lookout called
attention to some object which, on
closer examination through the marine
glasses, proved to be Il boat seemingly
empty and ddrift.
''She looks like a shallop," remarked
the mate, as she took another long gaze
through the binoculars.
well, it's not much out Of our
way, however, to take closer look. :"
observed Capt. Elwell. "Steer for it,
whatever it isl AS the Panther came
up close alongside the mate cried:
why, there's holy in The boat
and just then an emaciated Individual,
who in the gathering twilight looked
like a fantasy of grim death itself,
raised himself ia a sitting posture from
the bottom of the skiff and cried in
a croaking, husky voice:
Pour los vueno Dios. Save me,
good captain
Capt. Elwell, shocked beyond meas
ure at the half-dead appearance of
the poor fellow, Immediately lowered a
boat and brought him alongside. Ten
derly the American tars lifted him up
the side and carried him inro tn cabin
where he was placed upon the sof,.
His dark eyes, lacking luster from ia
tigue and privation, looking up at Capt.
Elwell with such glance of pitiful
gratitude that he gallant skipper, rough
and ready seaman as he is, said: 1T
was enough to umman the stoutest
heart" Everything was done to make
him comfortable, food and stimu1ants
were administered cautiously, and in
the morning the castaway was able
to tell his story.
