THEY DID HIM.
sharpers Got Hold Of Lamb and
Fleeced Him.

Claiming that he lost ste, 900.
through asbunko game, D. C. Davis:
a millionaire oil operator and direc-
tor in the German National Bank Of
Marietta, Ohio, appeared before:
Alderman Toole,; Of Pittsburg, Pa.
as the chief witness against w. j.
Adams and Frank B Ranger Of Pitts
burg and Frank Thompson of New
York, who he alleges, bunkoed him.
Davis declared that hewas taken
to a house just off Columbus avenue
New York last September and there
relieved Of s235 900 by means Of a.
brace" faro game, when Thomp-
son, the dealer, had promised to man
ipulate the cards so that he would
win 500, 900. Two weeks later, he
tried the game again and lost $685.
900. On November 20, after he had
lost S5l, 900, Davis chartered aspec-
ial train and made a record breaking
run to Marietta, where he secured
s25, 900 more. This he also lost in
the same way
He eaid that John E. Curry of Ma
rietta, had first introduced him to
Ranger, and then exposed the swim
die rather than see the witness lose
any more money. Curry corrobo-
rated the testimony Of Davis. Al,
derman Toole, however, said that he
would probably have to dismiss the
charges because Of lack of jurisdic-
ton but would reserve his decision
for week.
Former Mayor W. E. Sykes of Ma
rietta, counsel for Davis. was arrest
ed after the hearing, charged by
Ranger with conspiracy to indict.
Davis stated after the hearing that
more than 81 GOO, 900 had been taken
from wealthy Pittsburgers in the
asst two years who were induced to
20 against the New York game.

AWFUL SCENES At GETTYSBURG.
A Distinguished Participant Tells of
Narrowing Experience.

A writer in McClures Magazine
describes the honors Of the Gettys-
burg battle in the article below:
The wounded---many thousands of
them--were carried to the farmsteads
behind our lines. The houses, the
barns, the sheds, and the open barn
wards were crowded with moaning
and wailing human beings, and still
an unceasing procession of stretchers
and ambulances were coming in. A
heavy rain set in during the day.
the usual rain after a battle---and
large numbers had TO remain unpro-
tected in the open, there being no
room left under roof. saw long
rows of men lying under the caves
of the buildings, the water pouring
off upon their bodies in streams.
Most Of the operating tables were
placed in the open where the light
was best some Of them partially pro-
tected against the rain, by tarpaulins
or blankets stretcled upon poles.
There stood the surgeons their Slew
es rolled up to their elbows, their
bare arms as well as their linen ap-
rons smeared with blood. their knives
not seldom held between their teeth
while they were helping a patient on
or off the table or had their hands
otherwise occupied; around them
pools of blood and amputated arms OF
legs in heaps, sometimes more thar
man high.
Antiseptic methods were still un
known at that time. AS a wounded
man was lifted on the table, otter
shrieking with pain as the attend
ants handled him, the surgeon quick
ly examined the wound and resolved
upon cutting off. the injured limb
Some ether was administered, anc
the body put in a position in mo
ment. The surgeon snatched his knife
from between his teeth where it hac
been while his hands were busy
whipped it rapidly once or twice across
his blood-stained apron, and the cut
ting began. The operation accom-
plished, the surgeon would lool
around with a deep sigh, and then
"pext."
And so it went on, hour afte
hour, while the number Of expectan
patients seemed hardly to diminish
Now and then one Of the wounded
men would call attention to the fac
that his neighbor lying on the grount
have given up the ghost while wait
ing for his turn, and then the deat
body was then quietly removed. O.
surgeon, having been put at work
would put down his knife, exclaim
ing that his hand had grown un
steady, and that this was too mucl
for human endurance, hysterica
tears not seldom streaming down hi
face.
Many of the wounded men suffer
ed with silent fortitude, fierce deter
mination in the knitting Of thei
brows and The steady gaze of thei
blood-shot eyes. Some would evel
force themselvesto grim jest abou
their situation or about the "sked
dadling" Of the rebels. But there
were, too, heartrending groans an
shrill cries of pain piercing the air
and despairing exclamation, "Oh
Lord! Oh, Lordv' or Let me die!'
or softer murmurings in which tn
words mother" or father" 0
. ''home" were often heard.

Trial Marriages.

Three days after his second di.
vorce, Dan R. Hanna, son of the late
Senator Hanna, was married the
third time, his new bride herself be.
ing a divorce. His second divorced
wife was married two days after the
divorce was granted. She too, mar
rying a divorce. Hanna nor his wife
are important, but their type is COM
mon enough to menace society.
But, as the New York American
says, Anglo-Saxon civilization aud all
that is best in any civilization, is
built around the family. The family,
as the unit of society, must be whole
and stable, else all things dependent
upon it are endangered. The flip
pancy with which the most sacred
relation of life is treated has become
a scandal to the present and a men
ace to the future. Marriage is
endeed to an accompaniment of
vaudeville. These performances are
made the more conspicuous by
the prominence of the participants.
This time it is the son of one of the
best known politicians of his day.
Others even more in the public eye
have offended as greatly.
The very fact that one is we'll
known puts on him the duty Of being
an eXemplar to society. But now it
is often the leaders who are rotten
and the masses that have moral
health. A mans most precious mem
ories are of his early home life? Are
we to rob the children Of this price
less boon? When we do we take from
them character and ali that is best in
in the world. Some Of the modern
divorce and trial marriages are not
an offence against morals, but
against good manners.

A STRANGE WORLD.
Turned Loose After Being in Prison
Thirty-One Years.

One day last week, says a dispatch
from Des Moines. Iowa, Jasper Mas.
on, ffty-seven years old, walked out
of the Anamosa penitentiary a free
man after serving thirty-one years
imprisonment, to begin life anew in
a new world. All his relatives are
dead and the friends of his youth
are scattered, so that he will have tc
depend on the charity of a for.
mer fellow-convict for a home until
he can make a place for himself
The Iowa that Mason knew before
he was sent to prison was state of
trackless praisers, over which rode
bands Of wild Indians and still wild
er cowboys. The Iowa he will now
get acquainted with is a state of
well-tilled farms and thriving cities,
with the accompaniment Of whirring
trolley cars and speeding railroad
trains.
Telephones, electric lights, and in
fact, almost all modern necessities,
have come into use since the
old convict began his sentence.
In 1876 Mason and a friend,
]. R. Woods, were travelling through
Iowa and camped south of De Soto.
in Dallas county, for a night. There
they got in quarrel over the Hayes
Tilden political controversy, then at
it's height, and Woods assailed Mas
on who shot his companion.
Woods died in a few days, and
Mason was given life sentence for
murder. Under the Iowa law as it
then stood he was not able to go on
the stand in his own defense, and
there were no eye-witnesses to the
He served for twenty-five
years in the prison at Fort Madison
and was transferred to Anamoso.

Nowhere in all Japan is the effect
of the late war with Russia more OBJ
vious than in her navy yards. The
statesmen Of Japan have not not beer
slow to recognize the advantage Of
large navy and a powerful and num-
erous mercantile merchant marine.
During the late war single comp
any, the Nippon Yusen Kaiaa, was
able to place at the disposal OF the
government $50, 900 tons Of shipping,
with which it successfully carried l.
$4,000 men, l24, 900 horses and q
600, 900 tons Of stores. Under the
same paternal encouragement the
same company has increased her mer-
camille marine to 951, 900 tons dis
placement in the past three years, an
increase of 1856 ships. The shipyard
