will have to be exceptionally good play,
too, for not only does the fickle goddess
lock upon Pettigrew with favor, but he
Is a poker plaver from away back,
knows the value of a hand, possesses an
imperturble face, a cool head, and a
judgment second to none io the world.
He is a bard man-to win money from at
cards. When the six new Senators
were drawing for terms, and Pettigrew
drew the plum, a prominent South Da
kotan remarked: *‘»I would have gam
bled on it. Pettigrew can draw to the
small end of a royal flush and fill every
time.” Not very long ago Senator,
then Mr. Pettigrew, was staying at a
small town ia Dakota, whore he knew
two or three men whose piles were
nearly as big as liis own. Some one
suggested a quiet game of draw. There
being nothing elsfe to do Pettigrew was
willing, and they adjourn dto a private
room in the hotel, where a pretty stiff
game was soon in progress. After
playing some time a jack pot became
rather '‘fat.” At last some one opened
it for fifty. Pettigrew hesitated at
first, but concluded to come in and
drew four cards. The man who Queued
the pot bet $50, and Pettigrew raised
the same amount. The third player
dropped out, as tlie man who opened
had not drawn any cards. It being
then the turn of the' opener he raised
another fifty which Pettigrew doubled.
This sort of thing went on for some
little time, uutil the fellow who had
onened the pot began to get uneasy.
How many cards did you draw,
Pettigrew?” he asked.
“Four,” was the laconic response.
“Well, you are betting lively on a
four-card 'draw.”
Pettigrew said nothing, but suggested
that they raise the limit to $100. The
other fellow began to get nervous, but
thought that his opponent could not
possibly.have a better band than bis
own, and raised another fifty. Petti
grew came right back at him without a
smile, and the other fellow, in despe
ration, called. Pettigrew laid down
his hand—ace, king, queen, jack, and
ten spot of clubs.
“Great Scott!” was the chorus.
“Gue3s that’s my pot,” said Petti
grew.
“What in did you draw to?”
asked his companions.
“That typewriter,” said Pettigrew,
indicating the modest little queen of
clubs.
“What did you open it on ?”
‘•Three kings and a pair of aces,
though I don’t know as that is' any of
your business.”
' That broke up tho game. The Sen
atorial players here heard this story of
Pettigrew’s luck and are fighting shy
of him. They are pretty good poker
players themselves, but they • are so
much afraid of the Dakota man’s pro
verbial luck that* he bus not yet been
invited into a game. He is watching
his chances, however, and sooner or
later will get into the statesmen’s game

controlled by his distinguished name

is very popular, and is said to be one of

Cut His Wife’s Throat, Attacked Her
Father, Then Killed Himself.
Fort Hunter, N Y., Jan. 14—[Spe
cial]— I he little village of Tribes Hill,
in Montgomery county, was the scene
of a tragedy last night, when Thomas
Link, the proprietor of the Central
hotel, cut his wife’s throat with a razor,
tried to kill his father-in-law, and then
cut liis own throat, dying a few min
utes later.
Link had been on a prolonged de
bauch, and had had several attacks of
delirium tremens, during which ho
threatened to kill his wife. About 10
o’clock last night he called her into the
bar-room and, handing her a glass of
wine, said: “Here, let’s drink. It will
be the last we will ever drink together.”
They then retired, and about an hour
later, Link shoved his hand under her
pillow and pulled out a razor, with
which he cut her throat. She jumped
out of bed, and ruslted screaming out
of tlie room. Link ran to an adjoining
room, where Mrs. Link’s father was
sleeping. The old man sprang from
bed and seized Link, who tried desper
ately to cut the old man’s throat. Fail
ing in this, he turned the razor against
himself and made a frightful gash in
his throat, his head being almost sever
ed from the body. He died almost in-
tantly. Mrs. Link’s recovery is doubt

M E. Church South, of this city, died at
the parsonage this morning from inju
ries received on Friday evening last,
when in company with the Rev. YV. F.
Marshall, of tlie Episcopal church of
this city, he was passing through tlie
initiation ceremonies of the Royal Arch
Degree in the Huntington Chapter
of the Royal Arch Masons. During the
ceremonies it seems it was necessary
that he should descend a vault thirteen
feet deep bv means of a rope-tackle sus
pended from the ceiling above. Two
other men had descended the vault pre
viously, one of them being the Rev.
Mr. Marshall. After preparing the
tackle, Rev. Mr. Johnson started to de
scend, when tlie knot fastening the
tackle to the lower block gave way, and
Mr. Johnson fell to the bottom of the
vault.
Medical aid was summoned, and his
injuries seemed to be of a painful,
though not dangerous nature. He was
removed to his home and received the
careful attention of his friends, but he
gradually sank and died. His remains
w ill be taken to his former home at
Hannibal, Mo., for final interment.
