GAMBLERS TAUGHT A LESSON.
Some Macon County Boys Taken on
Hand by COlOred ParsOn.

Hand by COlOred ParsOn.
Macon, Mo-, March 27.-Aboutt ten
days ago five young men from the
vicinity of Lingo, Macon county,
were put in jail on a Today sentence
for gambling. The boys we're the
sons of well-to-do farmers, who
thought it would have a more salu-
tary effect on the youngsters to let
them stay in durance a while than to
pay their fines for them. Roaming
around in the same corridor with the
boys was Rev" Ruben Webster, n
good-natured sort of darkey. with
semi.religious inclinations, who was
doing time for carrying a gun"
When the boys were put in, Sheriff
Gilstrap had a consultation with the
colored parson and suggested that
he court the favor of the young pri,
soners and try to convince them that
it waswrong to gamble. Afterwards
Ruben and the boys were seen talk
ing together in a friendly way, and it
was evident the sheriff's suggestions
were being carried out. This morn
ing Ruben requested Mrs, Gilstrap to
take charge of II package for him.,
what is in it," she asked.
"Jes' few par socks, some gall
uses, two or free pocket books, er
watch an two dollars an six bits in
cash"
Whose is it, Rube?" the lady
queried, in surprise.
"Dat mine" said the negro, with
pride: "Massa Gilstrap he axed me
ter 'scourage dem Lingo boys frum
gamblin an done hit Da amt
got nofin' left ter play fer 'cept der
pants an coats an doan like ter
take dem frum dem "
The future will tell of the efficiency
of Rube's labors H. the missionary
field, but for the present gambling
has ceased at the Jail for lack OF the
wherewith to make it worth while.

TIED HIS WIFE TO A STAKE.
And Allowed a Maddened Bull to Slow.
" Gore Her to Death.

Tonawanda, n Y, March 23.-J
b. Post, LGarmer 81 years old, living
near here, bound his wife, Amanda
Post, to a stake in the bulpcn of his
stable this morning. She wore Il red
calico apron which maddencd Il bull
confined in the pen to frenzy, and in
its rage it attacked the woman and
gored her to death.
1t is said that the mad act was
caused by jealousy of a minister, who
hadlbee frequent caller at the Pest
farm, and had often gone out driving
with Mrs Post. Last evening, it is
said, he met Mrs. Post at IA prayer
meeting at Kenmore. 1t is alleged
the pair were very attentive to each
other. Post quarreled with his wife
on their return home. as is alleged
by Il neighbor who drove past on his
way home from the same prayer
meeting.
The murderer is thought OF have
brooded over the matter until its cul-
mination in his brutal act.
After the murder Post started for
the Niagara river, supposedly with
the intention OF drowning himself.
He was stopped on the way by his
brother, Frank Post, who asked
where he was going At first he was
unable to give any reply. Finally he
confessed the whole story.
George Jeeves, rural mail carrier
on the route on which Post lives, had
meanwhile discovered that all was
not as it should be, as the doors OF
the house were open and signs OF
struggle were evident in the sitting
room. Entering the house he called
for Post, and, receiving no answer
went to the stable. In the bullpen
he discovered the mangled corpse.
Post was captured by a band Of
farmers, headed by Patrolman Wise,
this afternoon and jailed.

est interest among the local fans. and
many hopes were expressed that the big

the Quaker City. II he did, he was not
seen in Baltimore by any Of the Washing
ton players. There is a chance that he
will show up today, however.

have prevailed upon Lajoie to remain in
Philadelphia until he had a conference
with Mcnamara. of the Detroit club, who
is after the big fellow hot and heavy. II
Laioie does not go to the Michigan ne
tropolis. there is a irst-class chance
that he will soon be wearing a local uni
form.
Manager Lotus and Delehanty. Orth.
Ely. and Ryan came over to Washington
last night after the game with Baltimore.
Accompanying them were Director Gen.
eral Clemes and Assistant Director Gen

tion to Washington negotiating for the
services of Lajoie,
A wire was also sent to Lajoie. No re-
ply had been received up to late hour.
