and earnestly for republican success in the
pending campaign and will leave no stone
unturned to sea the ticket nominated last

Dtfnkey tells the following story : "On
October 2B , 1892 , my wlte went away from
our homo on tbo South Side at about 8:30 :
o'clock In the morning. She remained away
all day , and It was long after midnight before -
fore she returned. Her hair was hanging
down and matted with some sticky stuff.
I put my hand on her hair and my palm
was stained with 'blood. There was blood
on 'her ' dress. Her face was bruised and
ccratchcd aind thcro were marks of fingers
on her chin and throat. She told me she
had had a torrlblo UK lit with a man , and
tearing off her garments she burned them in
a stave. The next day I picked up a German
paper and read of the murder. When I
read aloud she sprang from her chair with
a soream. 'Don't , don't read ! ' sbo cried.
I see him now ! I see him sitting In tbo
chair ! I see the blood flow down his face !
And to think , only $150 ! I thought ho had
much more. But at the least never again
will ho propose marriage to a woman and
then break his word ! ' "
The principal evidence against the woman
came from her husband. She denies having
anything to do with the murder. She
Is a largo masculine appearing woman and
Is said to have had nlno husbands before

BOSTON , April 4. Ma'ny ' references have
been made In newspapers during the las
three years to a "committee of fifty to
the Investigation of the drink problem , " but .
the public for the most part has a very '
vague notion , about this mysterious body ,
and the people moat concerned with temperance
anco reform are wondering what relation
the new organization proposes"to'.hold to
their work. The committee is 'not a new
agent in temperance agitation ; does not pro
pose to take and direct part tn reform , being
simply an organization in the interest of
research. Its work Is conducted by four'
subcommittees on different aspects of tb <
problem , physiological , legislative , ethlca
and economic. Nothing of the same 'nature
has been attempted before In this country.
"It is not expected , " said Charles Dudley
Warner \ , "that any organization or' , any na
tional power can suddenly or radically
change- the habits ot the world. But wiao
and practical efforts can mitigate almost
any evil under the sun , can produce , a public ,
opinion that operates in the right , direction.
The first requisite in any social problem It.
to ( throw light upon it , and this la the 'hum.- '

at least largely lessen the big republican
maJorltUa of last November ,
The contest preceding the elections of city

attention. The greatest Interest prevails
throughout the state In the outcome In De

supreme court. The republican candidate.
Captain Albert E. Stewart , was selected and
recommended , to the nominating convention

bearer. Ho is equally pledged to reform
measures , but Is conservative , compared with
the more picturesque methods of Plugree.
Both sides confidently claim the city.

POKER AFLOAT ON A FLOOD
It Began Joyously in Arkansas and Ended

"For thousands of dollars to change hands
In a game of poker , " said the man from
Arkansas , to the poker expert of the New
York Sun , "wns an everyday occurrence In
my state before the war , and very often
droves ot slaves and whole plantations were
won.and lost down near the Louisiana border
In the jack jiote that were played on the
packets that piled between Now Orleans and
the towns In southern Arkansas. The game
I am going to tell you about was far more
remarkable than any other , and possessed
some features that raado It truly unique ,
oven in that region of extraordinary happen
ings. ' ' It began on the Ouachlta river , a
llttlo to the north of the boundary , and !
came to on end . on the Mississippi lu
Louisiana. The stakes were small at Its
beginning ; then the ploy grow reckless and
thousands of dollar * were wagered , and In
the * ' last hand the lives of five men depended
on the cards , \vhllo gold and greenbacks lay
on tbo table unnoticed and uncarcd for. It
was a scene to bo remembered , and , as far ns
I have heard , without an equal for Interest
and strangeness.
"If you have ever been down In the Oua
chlta district , or are acquainted with Its
geography , you will understand why It Is
that tlmo and modern Improvements haven't
made much difference with Ha general lay
out. The boats from New Orleans still make
their fortnightly accommodation trips to the
towns In the southern part of Arkansas , and
the spring freshets still continue to defy the I
railroads. In fact , islde from the hard
times , things down ' .hero today are about ao
they were thirty-odd years ago , when that
game started up on a Saturday night well
along toward March. It was beginning to
rain a llttlo , and looked aa If It would keep
on raining In the spring style , oo the at
tendance at the club wns far below the average -
ago In numbers. I was one of the flvo who
didn't know enough to stay In out of the
rain , and the others were about the worst
poker fiends In tlio whole region. Wo all
had plenty of coin In our belts with which to
back our opinions , and wo all felt that th-j
yesslon was going to be a pretty lively one ,
although , of course , wo had no Idea of the
unexpected extra features that were to be
added to the program.
GLANCE AT THE SURROUNDINGS. I
"Tho building In which wo had met was
Just like hundreds of others that arc still
to be seen thereabouts. It was one story
high , with a flat roof , raised on four posts
llko a Yankee corncrlb , and looking alto
gether as much llko a solid square box as
anything else. It wasn't very perfect as to
Ha appointments , cither , but It had a table
for the cards and some stools for the play
ers and a very ample shelf for bottles. It
was a new concern and didn't leak from thereof
roof down. Whether it was equally water
proof from the bottom up remained to be
soon when the spring freshet came along ,
which happened during that memorable i
game. '
"I think everybody concedes that tlmo will
para more pleasantly and quickly In a good
stiff poker game than in any other kind
of amusement , except , perhaps , .fighting. All
Saturday night the dal kept going merrily ,
round , and not until Sunday evening did '
the players get thoroughly warmed up and
really settle down to burners ; then a big
Jack started and grew and grow , and was
opened for a cool thousand , and everybody
stayed , and filially It ended by making the
'opener nearly ten thousand to the good and
the rest of us proportionately that much
poorer. This made things Interesting during
the next few hours , and nobody at the table
had tlmo to notice that the water had been
running slowly In under the door and oozing
through at the Bld-s and cracks , and was
now trickling through the keyhole. Before
daylight on Monday morning It was over
our boot torxi , and the panes of glass In
the window 'were creaking and straining
against the outstdo pressure , and the posts
under the corners were beginning to sway a I
llttlo as the earth In whlqh they were sunk
became loosened and softened by the water.
There had evidently 'been a cloudburst to
the north of us- and the Ouachlta had been
roaring and swelling and creeping' toward
us and had surrounded us , and there we
were caught In the worst spring washout
that Arkansas ever knew before or since ,
and entirely too much Interested tn that
poker game to think ot the flood until It
WATER ON TUB SIDE.
"It was ureless to think of escape , for the
water was already too deep for walking and hi
too swift for swimming. Moreover , the open fn
ing or breaking In of the door or window tote
would hava flooded the house in an instant
and ruined the pack of cards. Then , too , to
the poker game was another consideration tobo
detain us , for three of the players were be
heavy losers , and It was only natural that Ig
they should want to get oven. There was a
peen
trap ; door above us , through which wo could
on
ascend to the roof , but as long as the window
panes hold solid wo were good for three or
four hours more before being drowned out
the drops that trickled In through the Tl
cracks ; and keyhole. Sovo kept on with the
game , and luck still stuck to the two win
ners , and the remaining three began to fear wl
would bo drowned before the cards Would
run our way. Just at the deciding of an pemi
unusually Interesting pot , which I won on a mi
bluff , the lower pane In the window gave miwl
way , and , taking the cards nnd the bottles guar
and a stone crock from the shelf , wtrmado
ar
the roof. We made another quick raid in
below for an extra pack of cards , as It was
an
evident from tbo first glance we might be
ca
obliged to have a long siege of It. About all
that could bo seen was tbo gray sky and the on
tops of a few trees about a mile from what
been the bank of the river. As for the peg
Ouachita , there was no end to It. It might i
have been the Mississippi or the Atlantic
ocean for the way It stretched out on every ho
sldo and surged along and foamed and fought wl
hold Its new territory. Some of the vil
lage lay below us where It had always boon , ind
we could see the housetops and the pee bri
on the roofs , but a good deal of it had tlu
moved off with the freshet. The rain had wl
stopped and the air was quite warm , so after mt
tired of looking around we squatted ho
down on the flat roof and
went on with the of
game. ofwo
wo
AFLOAT ON THE- FLOOD , ser
"It really .wasn't half bad up there , and as wh
some pretty high hando turned up at which ur
hnd good action and won , I rather enjoyed ism
turn things had taken. If I could hold rea
cards I was sure of a chance to got square evl
with the game , as none of the money could uh >
away from mo until the flood wont down ,
which was rather a comforting thought to a pici
who was several thousands in the hole.
After wo had been playing for a couple of thi
liours In our now quarters something seemed
give way all of a ) sudden , and before wu wh
know it wo were afloat , shooting past tlio Inn
remaining houses In the llttlo village , clli
booming along southeast with the main Ion
urrent of the Ouachlta. A pile of driftwood "
struck us and knocked us off the corner auc
03t8. At first the ark. rolled and swayed a bat
little , but finally -righted and started down Urn
river like -packet , under full steam , tur
novelty of the thing took our atten
for a few moments , but wo coon got ac
customed to the motion , and went on with
game. By sundown It liad cleared In
afternoon I was not only even , but had
managed to pull myself a few hundreds
ihead by conservative playing. When It
dark wo had to adjourn the session
morning , and all night we slept calmly ,
out on the dry lltt boards , with thu
: shining over us and tbo Ouachlta carr > -
us along past tree-tops and housetop * Into
Uiulsla'na , and on toward the great MUxIs-
. It wasn't light enough to play by the
, and bcildce wo were terribly tired and
ilecpy after having been at It for forty-eight
loura. But wbeu the night bad passed and
sun popped up over the flood on the left ,
showing that wo were going couth , nobody
.vantod to play pokor. All the money on
wouldn't have driven away the thought
wai uppermost In each man's mind ,
coot morning air and the 'hours of sound
sleep had brought the secret out so plainly
that you could nee it written over every
body's face find flasMnf ? out of his cyta. The
cards lay on the beaM , the money and
checks beside them , Every spot In the deck ,
ovnry dollar In the pile , every drop In the
Ouachlta scorned to mean iho same thing
hunger.
NO nREA.1) , NO BULLETS.
"After A nhllo ono ot the men started up
and ran over to the crock , which had been
brought up from below , and opened It With
n sudden cxclamntlon , his hand disappeared
Inside I and came out holding a great hunk
ot corn bread. It never got as far as his
mouth , for In Iras tlmo than It takes to tell
U I four guns were whipped out and pressed
against his temples , two at each side. Mad
' as ho was with hunger , he had sen-ie enough
left to know that his muscles would cease
to move before his Jaws could close on that
corn bread ; and , ns wo all wanted II cqilally
bad , nnd knew that It wag four ngalnnt one
whoever tried to got away with It , we thought
It over Individually nnd let It drop back , un
tasted , Into the crock. There wasn't enough
of It to go around end do anybody any good ,
and thcro word no four out ot the flvo good
enough Christians to appoint themiclvcs a
committee to stand by and watch the other
man cat It. So wo went back and stretched
out on the roof again around the money nnd
the cards. I hnd often had an appotlto
after a day's hunting or fishing , and BO had
the others , but none of us over bad been
really hungry. It's bad enough to bo broke
when a big game Is going on , and not bo able
to sit In il , but It's a hundred times more
uncomfortable tn be starving.
ub "Tho day passed and the night came on ,
but it didn't bring any sleep to us. I had
sailed the Ouachlta nearly all my days , but
I saw things on It that night that no river
pilot ever had learned to steer by. There
wore eating houses every quarter of a mile ,
and tables spread right out on the water
and covered with ham and eggs nnd rare
roast beef , and all kinds of good things.
There were bottles of coffee and cans of
milk floating all around us , first hurled by
the current right up to the side of the aik ,
and then whisked away Into the darkness
Just as wo were about to grab them. The
air was filled with the ringing of dinner
bolls and gongs , such no wo had heard In
the Hotel Royal down at Now Orleans ; and
darkles kept coming to UH , all dressed In
wJilto aprons , asking us why wo didn't step
out to dinner. Whenever the wind blow wo
could smell corn cakes baking and oysters
frying nnd venison broiling ; and then the
great river was fairly allvo with people , men
nnd women and children , white and black
and red , all nations and all nges , and everyone
ono of them outing , eating eating , and never
giving us a single bite. It wns awful.
"When the sun got up wo were all pretty
crazy. Ono man took a handful of money
and throw It overboard , and then began to
laugh. Another remarked It was about
breakfast time , and wouldn't wo bo good
enough to toll the cook what we'd have to
eat. The light raado us feel a llttlo better ,
though , nnd we didn't see things the waywe
did In the dark. Our oycs kept wandering
Irn the direction of the uncovered crock , but
nobody was crazy enough yet to walk over
toward j It. The man who attempted It would
have been killed
with four bullets before
hisc hail taken half that many steps. Then
somebody proposed that we play a Jack pot
for that hunk of corn bread. The Idea
straightened our wits out Instantly , Just ns
a sudden shock or n piece of bad news will
sober up a drunken man. Wo agreed to be
sporU and stand by the bargain , and all of
us throw our revolvers overboard , BO as not
to have to shoot the winner whllo he was
eating that bread. A great Missouri vulture
hovered close over us after ho saw us throw
the guns away. He wns waiting to feed on
us , and , llko anything clbc from Missouri ,
grew bravo as soon as ho know ho couldn't
get hurt.
GAME FOR GRUB.
"Then wo turned our backs on the crock
and picked up tha cards. Wo cut for deal ,
and It fell to mo. There was no more
crazluess . then. Each man was as cool as
stone , as hard as Iron , as quiet as death.
This was the Jackpot of our lives , nnd
overv onn felt It. One crooked turn of a
card or ono suspicious motion would have
brought four men on me and forty fingers
at my rthroat. But they would abide by
the carils in a fair deal , and if I won the
corn bread was mine.
" 'Burr-r-r-up , ' went the cards lu the
shuffle , and 'slap' as th'oy were solemnly
divided , and the upper cut placed on the
board 'slan' again as the lower cut was
placed above the others , nnd now they were
ready. Ono , two , three , four , flvo , for flvo
times around the circle. I did It very
slowly , pinching each card to avoid a nils-
deal. The not was declared open by my
neighbor on the left. When It came to mo
dealt myself three cnrds to a pair of
queens. I shall never forcet the Jump my
heart gave ns I saw another queen peeping
at mo In the draw. It meant bread to mo ,
and bread meant life , for three queens Is n
pretty big hand in au honest deal , nnd a
man doesn't feel very uneasy when ho
sits behind them , I forget the other hands ,
but I won the pot. Even In thnt moment
when I was mad with hunger I could not
help feeling a guddon sorrow for the others
who sat there looking the very pictures of
despair. In n moment more I felt Just as
bad as thov did. for as .1 turned toward the
crock the big Missouri vulture , with my
hunk of corn bread In Its bt-ak , stepped
from the edge of the Jar and flapped away
toward the nearest tree.
"Wo wore picked up more dead than allvo
tcii hours later by a big Mississippi freight
boat and taken to New Orleans. It hasn't
been safe since for Missouri vultures to nav
igate very freely on the Ouachlta river , nnd
poker games In thu spring rains are starting
boats. "

Ho seemed to ho In a frenzy , nnd the eyes
