American Citizen* Murdered by Mexican
Ottlclala—Kxcitemrnt on the Frontier.
Paso DelNoiite, Mex., July 17.—United
States Consul Brigham has to-day laid be
fore the Faso Del Norte authorities the cir
cumstances of the killing of Gregario lte-
i‘( vira, an American citizen, by order of a
local Mexican justice of tbo peace, a func
tionary that can assume any degree of au
thority he sees fit. The killing took place
on July 5, thirty miles below the city, and
knowledge of it was concealed until yester
day. The circumstances are as follows:
A farmer who lived near the Rio Grande on
the Trias side, and who, although of Mexi
can birth, is a citizen of the United States,
gave a dance on the lth of July. The next
morning a Mexican constable crossed the
Rio Grande und demanded a fee for the jus
tice who Bent him over. This wus refnsed,
and the justice sent over a posse of five
men, who ill-treated the farmer’s family,
and stated that if any oi the men crossed
the river to Mexico they would be killed.

Trading a Slater for a Wife.
Raleigh, N. C., July 1C. Nearly seven
years sgo, in Union county, Allred God
trod Godfrey and his wife were living to
gether, apparently bapny. The nearest
neighbors were Rufus Porter and his sis
ter Knaauna. As time rolled ou the fact
was disclosed that a strong att.ihmeut
bad been formed by Godfrey for Miss
Potter end that Rufus Porter entertained
similar tender feelinRt towards Mrs. God
frey. A trade was finally proposed, l’or
ter was to taka Mrs. Godfrey and Rome
property as a bonus and Godfrey was to
take Miss Porter.. This was carried
out with the consent of the women
sad everything moved ou peaceably
aud lovingly. A few years sgo both
families moved to Mecklenberg county, am
icsble relations having prevailed between
them. At times ths two families lived ou
the ume plantation. It was not u til last
week that the tranquility iu their domestic
hliu wu disturber and their households
divided. Kome one bad a warrant irsued
for their arrest, and the cue wu brought
before a meg strata on Tuesday. The war
rant wu not nerved upon Porter, he having
run away. The cau wu heard and the
parties were bound over for the action of
the Criminal Court. While those who had
been tried and bound over were ia charge
of the constable, Godfrey made his escape
and hu not since been heard from.
Hlgli-tuned Pokar.
Chicago Journal.
A great many persons will be pleased
know that there is a genteel wav of playing
poker. Until very recently I did not sup
pose myself that there wu any olher way
of playing the game than to eit iu, either
“dab away” one’s own money or to win the
money that the other fellows ’dubbed
sway." Rut the Social Half-dozen, a North
Hide poker dab, inaugurated by Col. Louis
Hchaffner, of the Grand Pacific, has a
game that ia worth describing. Ladies can
“•it in" u well u the men. Indeed, it wu
part of the Colonel’s plan that they should
“sit in,” so that ia the Social lfslf-dozen
they have alwavs held juat half the mem
bership. When the play ’begins all the
niceties of the game are enforced, except
that the winners do not pocket their stakes,
and yet the lesem most alwavs pay up.
The winnings—everybody’s winnings—g<.
into the hole in the center of the table at
the cad of the game. Ibis is the fund tf
the Social Half-dozen. All sorts of disposi
tions are made of it Theater parties have
been got up out of it times without number.
In a score of cases it hu been donated to
charity. The sufferers from the German
flood (it is an old game, yon see), got <10
from tho Social Half-dozen; the snfferen
from the Ohio floods got a contribution; a
dozen other charities hare bad donations.
It is a clever idea, isn’t it? The most gen
tlemanlike and ladylike poker programme,
to acertaintj, that I ever heard of.
