2 WON HER AT I’OKER. HOW TEXAS TOM WON HIS PRETTY BRIDE. After a Long and at the National Card Game Texas Tom Captures a Woman From Her Husband. From, the San Francisco Examiner. Sax Francisco, Oct. 11.—Texas Tom is paying San Francisco a visit Day by day he is seen passing up and down Market street, accompanied by a very pretty wo man, whom ha calls Ray, and who seems very much in,'i_' vted in Tom. The latter is about 21 years old now, but a veteran in ex perience of the shady sort. Just at present he is atop the heapand is wearing diamonds. His baptismal name is Thomas P. Red mond, but that doesn’t make any differ ence—he is Texas Tom to all men. Nobody hereabouts knows the girl, beyond the fact that she is a brunette from the head waters, has a pair of saucy eyes and cuts as pretty a figure as need l>e. The other day an old Western sport turned up and spun this in- terestingyarn: Texas Tom literally won that girl you just saw him with, but without sword or courtship. In plain words, he won her at poker, alter one of the longest anil hottest sessions 1 ever saw over a round table. About three years ago a slick short-card gambler named William Townsend took a professional tour through the South. In a Florida hamlet he encounted n beautiful gil l of 16, who accepted his (lash for genuine and married him against the will of her parents, well-to-do and respectable people. Townsend showered jewelry and rich raiment on his child bride, but she could not descend to his level at first, and the coolness that arose between them soon after the hasty marriage was rapidly widening into a breach leading to separa tion, when Texas encountered them ill St. Paul. Minn., a little over two months ago. He roomed in the same house, and after a few chance meetings Tom and Townsend’s wife found themselves in love with each Other. Eight weeks ago last Monday afternoon Texas, Townsend and four others sat down in Redmond’s rooms to play poker. The game was small at first, 25c. ante, but the stakes rapidly swelled to figures that nui le it exceedingly interesting. Hour after hour wore away and lengthened into a plurality of days, and Texas won considerable money. One player after another dropped out, physically or financially exhausted; others dropped in and dropped out, until final y at the end of three days only Texas and T.. wn send remained. The pair ate and drank be tween the deals, played standing up and did everything but sleep. After the second ilay the game began to be a sort of a show, and hundreds flocked in to watch the players and calculate how long nature could stand the strain. In three days Townsend had lost $4,000, all his available cash, but he begged for a short grace, which Texas granted. It was midnight. Texas stole an hour’s nap on the table,while Townsend made a hurried trip to his rooms. His wife was asleep, ami it was an easy matter to carry off her jewelry, mostly diamonds, and ag gregating in value #1,200. While she slept on, unconscious of her loss, Townsend returned, woke up his opponent and asked for an allowance on the gems. Texas sleepily advanced him $1,0(10 and play was resumed. It was purely a scientific game, each man being too clover for the other to dare at tempt any crooked work. All the next day the play continued in the presence of a crowd, attracted by its protraction. Fortune seemed to smile on Townsend for awhile, but the tide turned toward noon, ami at the end of the fourth day of the sitting Texas had him cleaned out. “is that enough?” he asked quietly, gath ering up his winnings. “No, it isn't,” sullenly returned the de feated gambler. “All right; what have you got to bet?” “You seem stuck on that woman of mine —what'll you bet against tier?” was the as tounding ' proposition advanced by the i financially wrecked gambler, the fever for plav burning at an uncontrollable heat in bis veins. Even Tom was dazed, but only for a miu ute. “Make it freeze-out,” said Tom, “and I’ll go you the diamonds and SI,OOO, and throw in my girl to boot.” The offer was accepted. A valuation of ss(l each was placed on the chips, aggre gating Over $4, 000. They were then care fully divided into two piles, and it was agreed that each should ante, and that all limit should bo removed. “How do I know I'll get the girl if I win her?’ asked Texas, as the cards were about to be dealt, “Better ask her,” growled T iwnsend; “I only play my claim on her against your money. Y u’il have to look to her for pos session. A note was hurriedly written to Mrs. Townsend, outlining tne proposition, and asking her sanction. “Tell the gentleman,” ran the answer she gave tiie messenger, “that I should he pleased to he separated from 51 r. Townsend, but that Mr. Redmond can only claim the stakes by going through the marriage cere mony. ” “Judge” Fiannagan, an influential politi cian, was present, and after u hun'ied cou miltation, Townsend made a written admis sion of ground for a divorce, on which Fiannagan said he could procure a separa tion in n very short time. The announcement, with an engagement ring and Texas Tom's compliments, was soul hack to Mrs. Townsend, who returned the following note: JhiDHii lit'dm Dial: Under such conditions I hope and pray you will win. Kav Townsend. “The game is made, gentlemen,” said Tom, with ids much of a smile as loss of sleep would permit to circulate on his hag gard face, “deal the cauls.” Townsend dealt the cards and the novel game commenced. Texas captured the ante chip and three more with it on tlm*o deuces against tens up. “Shes mine: ' he crusl. "I always win when 1 rake the first pot.” Townsend broke out with a torrent of oaths, and the pair nearly came to blows, only the intervention of the bystanders causing the game to go oil. The prospective widower played a hard game. He was wary and careful, and again he won for a time, but again luck turned against him, anil his costly chips ifieitod into the hands of the prospective groom. With the turn of the tide Town send lost his nerve, and in the double ante and freeze-out Texas' coolness and bluff told heavily. The SSO bits of ivory traveled across the table one by one and seldom came back. In fourteen hours Townsend called for a sight for his last SSO, and showed down three kings la-fore the draw. Texas had aces up. The remaining monarch fuiled to leave tho deck, but a third ace traveled into Texas’ hand. Townsend staggered to his room and roughly ordered his wife to “get out.” “I hope I’ll be- happier with him than I have been with you," retorted tho human Stake, as she obeyed. But the defeated .gambler heard her not. He was asleep. Texas only waited to introduce his win ning to Fiannagan and injunct that gentle man to hurry up the divorce, before he also went to sleep. By tho time his long slum ber was over, the divorce suit was well under way. Forty-eight hours after the final hand was played, the twain were made one flesh by a justice of the peace. A few bottles were cracked with intimate friends, and the next day the bridal tour was commenced in a westerly direction. Townsend went to I # station to see them off, and the tears ruled down his checks like raiu at the parting. Mi£ Redmond paid no heed to his misery, but rather laid on the lash in punishment lor the indignity put on her. Texas only laughed. “I’ll see you again, Texas,” threateningly remarked the bankrupt. “I don’t care a whether you do or not,” was the bridegroom's nonchalant an swer; “I advise you not to unless you learn bow to play poker or be more of a rnau in the meantime.” “In Omaha the pair stopped to celebrate, concluded the sjtort who told the reporter the story, “and they’ve been celebrating so much that I guess Tom’s winnings are tolerably s au'ce at present, all but the wo man; he’s got her yet if the cash has melt ed.” Redmond was approached by a reporter for confirmation of the story, and he frankly admitted the truth of the main features of the storv. but would not go into details. Nor would lie say whether he was likely to regret having “won” or not. STATE ASSOCIATIONS. Commissioner Edgerton Does Not Agree with Mr. Oberly. Washington, Oct. ID. —Civil Service Commissioner Edgertou, who returned to the city to-day, was asked by an Associated Press reporter if his views agreed with those of Commissioner Oberly, as expressed in his recent letter to the Illinois Demo cratic Association. “They certainly do not,” said Mr. Edgertou. “I do not believe in extreme or strained constructions of the civil service law. These State organizations have as much right to exist as they ever had. There is nothing in the law to prohibit it. A man is not de prived of the privileges of citizenship be cause he holds a public office, and J think the idea that a man should abandon his residence in a State, or liis citizenship, when ho takes office in Washington is preposter ous Legislative power is above us all, and if the law is to lie applied so as to de prive men of their rights as citizens the danger is that a demand will bo made upon the legislative power to wipe it out. There is no necessity for anything of the sort. The law’ is ail right, and it only needs to he construed in accordance with common seuce and practical experience. No sir,” he continued: “I do not agree with Commis sioner Oberly, and 1 do not see how he is going to reconcile his present views, with these expressed in thoSeeberger report (Cl*eago custom house,) signed by Com missioners Oberly and Lyman In that re report they said of Webster, the dismissed chrk: ‘.Strong political views Webster lind a right to entertain, and during the time he held public place it was his right to give, at proi>er times, strong expressions to those view’s. The opinion is not to be tol erat'd that because a man occupies a place in the classified civil service, ho must therefore surrender his right to take an interest in the iiolitics of the country. No good citizen will do so; and no degree of activity in an effort to advance the interest of .v party opposed to an administration should, provided his partisan activity in no way interferes with liis public duties, ren der insecure in the service of the govern ment. the position of any person who does not occupy a place, the discharge of the duties of which affects public politics.’” SAVANNAH’S CONVOCATION.

Columbus, Ga., Oct. 19. —A two-story residence on the MeMichnel plantation in Marion county was destroyed by fire last night. Several outhouses were consumed at the same time.

Minneapolis, Oct, 19. —The General As sembly of the Knights of Lul>r reiflained in session all day, only taking final adjourn ment at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. All the business was disposed of, and the eleventh assembly has the record of accomplishing more than any of its predecessoi-s. Many of the delegates left for their homes by the evening trains, but a number, in cluding the general officers, will remain in the city lor a day or so. Among tho enormous number of documents passed upon to-day rather most important was the resolution granting cigarnmkers who be long to the Cigarmnkers international Union, which was cxi>eiled by the action of the Richmond convention, the privilege of reinstatement without the payment of a fee. This is in accordance with Mr. Powderly's recommendation in his rejiort. The Anarchistic element received another backset when the assembly re solved, by a vote of 112 to 29, that the Knights of Labor in parade shall carry nothing but State or national colors. There can be no more red flags in Knights of Lulior parades. An attempt to prevent Mr. Powderly’s further activity in the order in the event of his resignation was frustrated when the assembly concluded to accept the proposition to strike out the section which provides that “a Past General Master Workman shall have all the rights and privileges of representatives.” The rule prolilbiting the sale of liquor at picnics was sustained against a motion to change by a vote of 104 to 49. The Committee on Appeals and Griev ances reported tho charges against General Secretary Litchman as groundless. In the case of District Assembly 120 (carpet weavers) tho committee could make no suggestions, offering as an excuse that as John Morrison had brought two valises of evidence and the executive board bad half a ton, there was too much for it to grapple with. The motion to refer to an arbitration committee of three did not meet with favor, and an amendment to the effect that District Assembly 126 be reinstated upon complying with the laws of the order was passed. This leaves the matter just where it was before. It was moved to pro vide for granting charters to Chinese as semblies, but the measure was lost, it being regarded as detrimental to the order in the W est. Complaints were introduced against tho Ray, tiie alleged labor pa|>er of Troy, N. Y., by the New York delegates, who charged it with having made attacks upon them, and its name was ordered withdrawn from the list of papers indorsed by the Journal. An invitation from Indianapolis was ac cepted. and the convention will lie held in that city next year. DESERTING THE KNIGHTS. The Steam Engineers of Chicago Form An Independent Order. Chicago, Oct. 19, The Local Assembly of steam engineers has withdrawn from the Knights of Labor and formed an indepen dent order of its own. They Have com pleted anew organization under the name of the American Order of Steam Engineers, They believe they wifi derive more benefit from an independent association than they ever could from their connection with the Knights of lgibor. Efforts will lie made to extend the order throughout the United States, and ultimately to form a national organization. It is believed that the steam engineers everywhere will join them with out much urging. BROOKLYN’S REGISTRATION. A Mistake Made in Making Tuesday the Last Day. New '4’ork, Oct. 19.—Tbe Brooklyn Eagle of this afternoon foots up the total registration of that city at over 120,000, but it now seems that a very serious error has been made, and there is much excitement. Yesterday was, to be sure, the third Tues day in October, but as the election occurs this year on the second Tuesday in Novem ber instead of the first (which is very rudely the case), the real last day of registration should be next Tuesday, according to law, and therefore yesterday’s registration of 97,- IKK) is unquestionably illegal. The Board of Elect ions when informed of the fact were dumbfounded, and hud nothing to say, ex cept to acknowledge that each and every one of them liad made a mistake. The cor poration counsel has been requested to fur nish a written opinion on tho matter, which he will do to-morrow. HARMONY IN GOTHAM. New York, Oct. 19.—The County De mocracy held a county convention at Cooper Union to-night and appointed a conference committee for a joint meeting with a like committee from Tammany Hall to arrange for a Union ticket. The total registration for the second day in this city to-day was 09,527. This is much smaller than for several yoars past, and below general expectation. Two registra tion days, however, are yet to come. DETROIT WINS BY LUCK. Bunched Hits Snatch Victory Away from St. Louis. Philadelphia, Oct. 19.—St. Louis out liatted and outfielded Detroit again to-dav, but nevertheless the league champions won by getting tlieir few hits well together. King pitched an excellent game for the Browns and succeeded in striking out nine of the heavy hitters. Conway also pitched effectively, Gleason’s one handed catch of a line fiy and White’s great work on third were the only particularly good pieces of fielding work. Following is the score by innings: Kt. Louis 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0-2 Detroit 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 I 0- 1 Base hits St. Louis 0, Detroit 6. Errors— St. Louis 2, Detroit 8.

Mr. W. W. Corcoran, the venerable phi lanthropist, has written a letter expressing regret that the state of his health will not permit of his acceptance of an invitation to attend tho laying of the corner-stone of the Lee monument in Richmond, Oct. 27. Of Gen Robert E. Lee Mr. Corcoran says: “It was my good fortune to have been honored with tho intimate acquaintance and close friendship of Gen. Lee (luring the whole jieriod of his public career, and whether I recall him as he moved in the social sphere, which he adorned by his virtues and graces, or as he towered aliove his contemporaries on that higher stage where the lustre of his great qualities shone in the eyes of the whole civilized world, I can truly say, with no small experience of my fellow men, that of all tbo men I ever knew he always seemed to me the most re markable for tho grandeur as well as for the symmetry of the elements which com posed the strength and beauty of his peer less character. For such was the natural constitution and such the h rmonious blend ing of these elements that, in the gentleness and benignity of his demeanor, he was seen to be ns great in his goodness as he was good in all his greatness. Like all truly great and good men, Gen. Lee had in the highest degree that sim plicity of character which springs from purity of heart as well as from the perfect transparency of a clear intelligence. En dowed wiih an understanding which was as calm as it was penetrating and profound, he always possessed his soul in a patience which never murmured, and a serenity w’iiich was never ruffled, whatever might be the duties ho was summoned to perform or whatever might be the perils he was called to face. “No duty ever found him unprepared. No trial ever shook his steadfast mind. In trepid in all assaults of fortune and the very soul of honor, he was the Chevalier Bayard of his day—a knight without fear and with out reproach, because in him all that was soldierly in conduct met and mingled with all that was blameless in life. With an in tegrity which rooted itself in the very fibre of his moral constitution, and which, there fore, never gathered spot or stain through out the whole of his long and eventful career, lie yet had not the slightest trace of vanity or eensoriousness in his nature, but walked before men with the modesty and humility born of a deep religious spirit. "It is only those who knew him well in all the serene depths of his mental and moral being who can account for the heroism he displayed on the field of battle, and the greater heroism he displayed after he had sheathed his sw’ord and bowed, without re pining, to the decree of an overruling Prov idence. “Although the life and example of such a man may justly seein to belong, in some special sense, to the State and section which stood in the clearest sight of all his great ness and all his goodness, yet the whole country may rightly claim its share in the heritage of that renown which all generous minds are quick to accord to exalted virtues wherever found, ami to magnanimity of soul wherever it is inspired by a supreme and conscientious sense of right.” DEPEW ON CLEVELAND. The Railroad President’s Opinion of the Nation’s President. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Do you think President Cleveland has grown ?” “No. I think he has proved just what the country imagined him to be when he was elected President—that he is’ honest, has good, sound common sense, and that he knew nothing whatever of the business of the government, or the people accustomed to manage it. The attraction about him is, to use a Wostern phrase, ‘that nobody un derstands his game. ’ Ke takes the practical politician on either side, knows pretty well the hand of his opponent and the manner in which it will lie played, but he does not give away his own hand. lam not a card player myself, but have simply picked I his up. Another point about Cleve land, he takes everybody into his confidence, and airs his grievances to the whole country with charming simplicity. Whenever he feels insulted or slighted or outraged by the newspapers or politicians he says to 60,000,000 American people: ‘Are you going to allow your President to be sub jected to anything like this when he is try ing to run the machine the best he knows bow,” and up to this time the people have responded: ‘Wo won’t, Grover; we won’t.’ Really, it seems to me as this election was going to hinge on whether these relations between the fond parent (the people) and the boy at college is to be continued. Per sonally, I know Cleveland, and I like him. The attentions paid the Presidential iwrty on their trip are a curious blending of business with patriotism. Every towm the President has visited has a real es tate boom. Every fellow has made money. All bought lots and sold them at a great ad vance. They haven’t s Id tnem to outsiders, but, have been selling them to one another at 100 per cent, advance in price over the week preceding. When the President visited one town where corner lots were for sale in corn fields and on mountain tops, that town boomed right along on tho sale to outsiders, but tho financial temperature of the next town he didn’t visit became too low for any one to stay in. So that while the South worked for tho old flag and an appropria tion every time, the Northwest has worked the President's reception for a compliment to the President and a commission for the real estate agent. 1 was interviewed by a reporter in one of t hose towns. He said he had been a New York lawyer and had read one of my spe -ches, in which 1 said New York lawyers had applied to me for places as brokemen on the railroad Finding himself getting in a condition to apply for something of that kind he tool: Horace Greeley's advice and went West. He said he had made s4o,oooin real estate, but lmd not, become a bit proud, and was still aliening to his job as a re porter. I found that was tho way with all iof them out there. A nuin who had been a saloon-kecjior, or drayman or laborer, and made a lor of money on real estate, had not yet changed his occupation, and would not unless the President brought enough strangers to buy and let them realize.” Father Kerner Dead.
