COSTLY FLYSPECKS.
A MANS LIFE AND $4,000 WERE
\ AT STAKE,
The Occasion Was One Of tho Old Poker
Games In tho Fierce Gambling Days
of Frontisrism - Examination of the
Cards Righted Matters.

once knew a couple of fly specks
10 cost nearly 1000, to say nothing
OF mans life, in poker game" said
. New Orleans turfman, talking about
big gambling in the old days. 1T was
In 80 or To- forget the exact date
and the game was played in a club
room on Royal street. There were
four men at the table-a merchant, a
railroad superintendent, a St. Tam
many planter. and an ex-judge, all
pretty we'll to do, except possibly the
railroader.
The Judge had three eights and
discarded an ace and queen; the
planter had four fives and drew one
card as a blind, and forget what the
others held. The cards they were
playing with were indicators with
marks on the corners, and as there
were several spectators in the room,
the Judge held his hand very close to-
gether, and looked only at the index
anger on the edge. He saw that he
had caught another eight In the draw
making four. Then the betting be-
gan in earnest. and pretty soon the
railroad man and the merchant drop
ped out.
In throwing down his hand" con-
tinued the story teller, "one of the
men who passed out accidentally turn
ed over his cards, exposing king
high straight. The Judge got a
81 nf nl
ace. he naturally concluded that his
| four eights were invincible, straight
nushes not being played at the time.
THAT at least was the way he told
MS afterward he figured it; and he was
IN the point of laying down; but there
was a possibility of bluff. and final
ly he pulled out $500 in currency and
called. One of the onlookers was
standing right behind the Judge, and,
as I said before. he never looked at
anything but the indicators in the
corners, keeping his hand punched to-
gether. I have you beat he said,
tossing the cards, face down, on the
table. 4 have four eights.' They're
good said the planter; it serves me
right for being fool; and he began
to turn them over one by one. What's
this!' he exclaimed suddenly, as he
uncovered the last card. There were
three eights, a trey and a four-spot.
THE Judge glared at the PASTE
boards with a face as black as thun-
der. This won't do!' he shouted, at
the same time slapping his hand over
the money. I'll take my oath I had
four eights!' Meaning to imply what?'
said the planter, very quietly. but ris-
ing from his chair What might have
happened nobody can say, but the
good horse sense of the railroad super
intendent rose to the emergency
Gentlemen he said. we are not
swindlers or poker sharps. There has
been some mistake. Now let's keep
cool and find out what it was
That calmed things down and an
examination of the cards showed
clearly how the blunder arose. One of
the register marks in the Garner of
the trey looked exactly like an eight,

MarConi Telegraph Used
In San Francisco Bay

San Francisco, July S.-The Marconi
system of wireless telegraphy is In
practical operation about the harbor
of this city. Across the waters of the
bay messages are travelling with no
means of conveyance but the unseen
vibration Of the ether, and new secur
ity is added to the defenses of the har-
Dor by the ease with which communi
cation can now be sent from one mill
tary post to another independently of
wires and cables, which an enemy
might cut or which accident might dis
connect.
The United States Government has
been the first to chain these unseen
forces and to take advantage Of Mar.
coni's inestimable discovery. Two sta :.
tons have been established, one at AL
catraz island and the other at Fort Ma
son, so that communication between
those two posts is now carried on
through the air. Flagstaffs seventy
five feet in height have been erected at
each station, connected with the requi-
site machines, so that messages may
be automatically recorded on ordinary
printing tapes.
The method of communication is
simple. When 1t is desired to send a
message from one station to another,
an electric current is thrown into the

AMERICANS WIN EIGHT
OUT OF TWELVE EVENTS

London July THE American
athletes won eight out of thirteen of
the amateur championship games Of
Great Britain today. The Amateur
Athletic Association games were held
at Stamford bridge. The Americans
participated in but twelve events and
lost only four Of them.
The New York Athletic Club got the
lions share, taking the weight putting,
the hammer throw, the pole vault and
the mile run, and Pennsylvania was
second, winning the high jump, the
hurdle and the long jump. George

aerial wire of the sending station
thereby causing an electrical vibration
of the ether. This wave is propagated
in every direction, and eventually
strikes or is cut by the aerial wire at
the receiving station. The electric
wave thus intercepted brings into play
certain electrical conditions of the in
struments at the receiving station,
which eventually record the messages
on the tape.
This is the simple story Of great
achievement, which may easily play
a part of great Importance should any
sudden emergency arise and which will
at present materially facilitate inter-
course between the posts. The ness
age might. of course, be also received
at any other station or II might be
taken by ship at sea, or were many
stations to be established at surround
ing points 1t may easily be imagined
! that confusion might arise. This, 1t IS
believed, would be overcome by so adj
justing the instruments that the vibra.
tons between different posts would
differ, in other words, putting sets Of
instruments in sympathetic accord
Cipher systems would be used in any
event to secure secrecy, just as they
are used on the common electrical
telegraph.

DIR. Chas. E. Turner had committed
suicide by hanging himself early
that morning in the kitchen of his
home near Rising Sun. He had
been sufferer from nervous pros
tration and mental trouble for sew
eral months past, but it was hoped

the rash deed came as a painful
surprise to his many friends. He
was A years of age, and leaves a
wife and young daughter about 10
years old.
DIR. Turner was native Of Ches-
ter county and graduated at the
Jefferson Medical College in 1877.

lowing year and had built up a
large practice, when falling health

removed to the Evans farm, near
town, in the hope of regaining
health and strength, b t did not
improve very rapidly and became
Respondent.

Board of Health.

The Cecil County Board of Health
met in Elkton on April IL.
Complaint was made to the Pres
ident lof the Board in regard to a
stagnant pond in the town of Cecil
ton. A letter in regard to this lack
of drainage was received from a
Delaware physician on January 26,
1900. The Board has been waiting
for settled weather to investigate
the matter. The Secretary was
directed TO visit the town. He re-
quests the assistance Of the Town
Council and the citizens; he can do
nothing without their cooperation.
Scarlet fever was reported at
Mechanics Valley, Chesapeake City
and Bohemia Manor. A total OF
five mild cases.
Measles reported at Marley,
Perryville, Cokesbury and Sylmar.
Whooping cough has prevailed
during the winter on Bohemia
Manor. There is reason to believe
that it has caused more deaths than
those reported.
The burial permit bill having
been passed by the Legislature its
provisions will soon be carried out
in the county. Cecil's represen
tatives strongly supported this ex-
cellent measure.
Twenty-One deaths and fifteer
births were reported for March.
With the exception of the griI
the health of the county is good.
