"Talking about poker," said a mlddle-agod
man to a coterie at Chnmberltn'a tho other
night, "reminds mo of something that ocourred
about twenty yoars 00 at the Unlrcrslty of
Virginia. That was about the llre'-lost epoch
ln tho history ot the unlvorslty slnco the war,
or, for that matter, of that befors It, when the
life led by the students la taken into considera
tion. There was a bljr crowd ot devil-may-care
young men there, most of them with plenty of
money, and they made Charlottesville and surrounding-
Alboiuarlo fairly hum. Those kin
dred! spirits formed a society, which took the
namo of 'Ell Bananas.' "
Here the siieaker smiled at evidently anius
tnc remlnlsconrcs. "There is no telling what
tho '11 Bananoa' didn't do. For tho quintes
sence of mischief nnd devilment they took tho
laurels. There was nothing downright bad
about them, but th-lr nntlcs wero awful. Fan
tatlo were the tricks they played, nnd protc-quo
their Jokes. Bctwoon frouks the r.lls wero
prone to poker, and it was customary down thero
lor tho players to assemble at this or that stu
dent'B room. That brings mo to my story. Ono
coterie ot poker playors comprised sons of some
of the best known and woalthlost men In tbe
South, ond into it was Introduced a younsr Vir
ginian who was glfttd with many attractive
trnlts, apparently, out whose antecedents wore
not particularly brilliant. I'll call him Dick
Lurk, but that wasn't his nnmo.
"Most of tho othor fellows ln tho cotorl.) had
roommates, who were bonlnc; up for tho final
examinations It was well atonic in the sprint;,
and Lurk had quarters to himself on East
I.nwn. Consequently tho poker boprnn to be
played exclusively In his room, when the
evening1 seemed propltlou, tho word would bo
passed around nt supper that 'throo Kcntuck"
would bo In order, and at 8 o'tlook or thore
abouts tho pla era would assemble at Lurk's.
Lurk'sClucC was'stupendous. He won steadily,
nnd aj tho gamo was pretty stiff his wlnnlnirs
wero substantial. It was noticed after a while
that ho always passed out when somebody had
a particularly big hand on somebody else's
donl. but that ho always held a top hand when
there wero bit? ones out against each other on
his own deal. Then Bomebody notlcod that
the seals wero always broken on tho half dozen
now decks of cards provided each night before
tho pirns began, nnd that Lurk In dealing al
ways closely scrutinized tho cards as bo gave
them out
"At lost, ono night, the ton of a famous Con
fedornto General, who now lives In Baltimore,
becamo convinced that Lurk was cheating.
Picking up the deck that Lurk hnd just dealt,
nnd out of which ho had got a hand w 1th four
queen's against nn ace full held by a oung
Kentucklan, tho younir mnn said quictl) :
"'Some one Is cheating ut this game, and,
Lurk. 1 think it's you.'
"Now, at tho Unlvorslty of Virginia such a
declaration, if Improved, mennt somebody a
death to a certainty, and ia an Instant the
purtv waa on lts,cot.
"Just wait a minute, pcntlemon, said. tho
accuser, quietlj. 'Vo bern uutchinp this
man. Let some 0110 exnmln" tho hnck9 of
theso cards with this mairtiifyinir glasa.'
'"lhc Kentucklan took the gluss ard closely
scanned tho geometrical designs on tho backs
of the rnrtls.
"By I'm ri" ho ejaculated, 'avcry court card
is distinctly marked." Examination .by the
other players quickly proved tho truth of this.
"There was a consultation over what should
bo dono with Lurk, who stood with hoad hung
down, overwhelmed with tho proof against
hlin. It was decided that ho was not worth call
ing out, as ho was not a gentleman, and tho
wrdlct whs that ho hould make rctltutlon of
nil thu money ho had won Ince hi participation
ln the came and Buffer ostracism in the univer
sity lie waa compelled to sit down und write
out a iheck for all the money ho had won, tho
memorandum books of the other players show
ing tho nniountH thoy had lost nt various t linos,
and! he wus kept under surveillance until the
t'bnrlottesvllle llnnk. In whiUi ho kept a heavy
account, opeued next morning. Ono of the
party rodo down to Charlottesville nnd cashed
tho check nnd then .ho sentcno of ostracism
went into effect- , .
"That follow had tho unhoard-of effrontery
to remain at tho univeravtl until tho finals wcio
tompleti'il. Ho was there sl wiekn. No stu
dent, nor professor, nor servant, nor townsmnn.
no man nor woman, while or black, (.poko to
him or took any notico of him. Ho attended

was not quizzed in nlect iro room or addressed

DOGS JtKTKAT TllF.IK TRUST.
Keat to Gnnrd a Sluuthler Henie, They rial 4
t nnd Kill Thirty-one Rhrvp.
From Ine I'hUadtUiMa Times.
For several months Chnrles A. risher, a
butcher, had placed as guardians ov er his ex
tensive sheen pens nnd slaughter houso two
very largo dogs of tbe bloodhound and mastiff
variety. These ferocious animals havo ably
protected the premises from invasion by any
nocturnal prowler, and Mr. Fisher bus reposed
peacefully in bla bed, with tho serene satisfac
tion of knowing that his valuable stock was
safe.
Now, however, ho wishes that he had dispensed
with these animals nn J trusted to luck or to the
honesty of IiIb fellow men, and not surrounded
his property with such safeguards, foron Thurs
day night tho urotrclivccinlnoB jumped tho
feme into a pen of thirty-seven xhcen. and when
morning dawued but eight ot the unfortunuto
animnls wore found alive.
Mr. Fisher made the discovery himself about
0 o'clock on Friday morning. Whllo walk
inc through the slaughter bouse toward the
stockyard he became alarmed at tho ah
Koluto sllcm e which reigned there. He
beard none of the familiar bleating of the
sheep, nor did tho two dogs run plaj fully to
meet film, us they formerly used to do. Instead
they skulked under wagons and would not ap
proach him. IU hurried tn tho pans and was
there confronted with a startling sight.
Within the little Inclosure were tho dismem
bered bodies of twentj-nlno of the poor sheep,
whllo scattered anioncr them, horribly mil
tllalod, wore eight yet alive, although In tho
last gasp of death. Accustomed as he is
to such soeiios, Mr. Fisher was horrified at
tho spectailo such wholesale slaughter pre
sented. As soon as he could recover himself
bo called for hslp, and mndo an Immediate
examination of the victims. Those that wero
dead wero found to bo quite stiff and must
havo been dead several hours before the ills
eovory was made. Mr. Fiaher and his help
killed the sheep at onco that ware still living
and employed all the morning ln the removal of
thu bodies He said that none of the animals
was fit for market and that his loss will
amount to 9'JOO. .. ......
" I never In my life bofore." said Mr. Fisher.
In explaining-the tnattor, "saw such nn aviful
sight. It seemed nlinost Impossible to believe
that two beasts could huvo made such a
slaughter. Foino of the sheep were torn
Into fragments, and twnea, blood, and wool

THE MURDER IN PRISON.

jealous op ara mint.
Her !( nod Palthrul Mrnaale far tke aapaart
r Rsr Cnlldrea and Hr Wartkless Husband
Herald at XAat with IhsStrak ar n Haifa.
The murder of Mrs. Catherine Braun by her
husband, Adrian Braun, a convict, tn the re
ception room of Bins; Slnp; prison on Saturday
afternoon, was the result of jealousy. During
her trrelvo years of married life the unfortu
nate woman roceivod much Ill-treatment from
the worthless fellow she married, and finally
he was brutally murdered and her five little
ones deprived ot their only friend In the world
while she was trying to maka easier the lot ot
th man who was responsible for her misfor
tunes. Braun's jealousy never developed until after
he was sent to Bins; 8lnpr for tho assault on the
neighbors who proventcd him from maltreating
his wife. Ite had novcr been Jealous before
Apparently ho had never trlvon the woman that
much thought. Ho seomed to regard her as a
dray horse. In prison, howover, he took it into
bis hoad to get jealous. When she visited him
last December ho accused her of Infidelity. Ho
hnd no evidence of what he chargod, nnd
frankly said so, but addod that ho knew she was
taking advantage of his incarceration to run
around with other men. It told hor he would
kill hor it sho didn't stop It
Mrs. Braun, whose running- around with other
men consisted of scrubbing floors and washing
clothes from 0 o'clock every morning until 0
every night, and caring for the three children
that sho had left with her, roturned to the city,
heart-broken and crushed at her husband's
brutal charge. Sho wept In tho arms of her
nolghbor. Mrs. Brown, who at that time advised
her not to go near the prison again.
"But he'll ktll mo If I don't go nnd see him,
and then what's to bocomo of my Httlo onost"
cried Mrs. Braun. " I must go, I must I"
Sho worked harder, depriving hornelt and hor
children of many of thu nuccssarles of life, so ns
to bo able to go tho sooner to tbo prison again.
As tho result of hor economics sho saved in nine
weeks exactly S2. With a dollar of this she
bought a small basket of bananas, oranges, nnd
figs. Sho baked a plo and made somo sand
wiches, too. Then alio wont to Sing Sing to give
them to her husband. His roturn was tho
assault with the knife which ho had managed to
conceal while at work In the prUon kitchen.
Mrs. Braun died instantly. Tbo first stab
killed hor. It was n tragic ending of a llfo of
misery and suffurlng. the last few weeks ot
which were bitterer than any of tbo earlier ones
iu her married life. Only two days bofore she
went loblug Sing she told ono ol her neighbors
that sho was very tired. She wondered it she
would ever fool rested again. 'Ihrough all tbo
years of drudgery she had never folt quite tho
aamoassho hadsluie her husband nccusod her
of unfaithfulness. Ibis made her tired ot every
thing, took tho last remnant uf spirit from her,
she said.
Uraun wept and raved ln his cell In Slug Sing
yesterday. After the murder on bntuniay he
was ugly aud stubborn and rofused to discuss
the matter at all. All efforts on the part of
Warden Sugo to tfet a statement from him were
futile. He seemed sutlsilvd with what he had
done, and determined to kctp his motho to
hlmsolf. When the Wnrdon approached the
subject again yesterday, however, tbe man be
gan to weep. He seomed to realize that the
punishment for his deed was near at hand, and
ho was afraid.
" Braun. it you had a reason for your act tell
mo what It was," advlsod Warden Sago.
" I will not be questioned on the m ittcr," said
Braun.
He expressed sympathy for his children and
somo interest ln their future, but said not n
word about his wife. Later in tbe day Father
St. John of St. Augus jb's Ilomnn Cnthollo
Church ln Sing Slug called to see Braun. To tho
priest the man talked openly, but what lie said
wj not disclosed, even to theWaideu. Kilbcr
St. John Bimplr said that Brnun wanted to mako
a confession, out that he had udvised him to
wait until to-day nnd then nut bleatatemontln
such shnpo as would bo advised by a lawyer.
Ever slnco they wore married tbu Hr.vuns
havo lived on the upper east sido uf tbe city. A
number of people ho at one time aud another
have been neighbors uf the Brauns ucro seen
yestorduy, and on two points they all ngrecd.
One wus Ihut Braun was a worthless and brutal
fellow who mads his wife support him as well
asbcraolf and thcirflve ililldrci; the other v-os
that Mrs. Braun wns a pttlent, long suffering
woman, who hod put up with mueh more than
her thiiro of 111 fortune, with vrrylililo com

Once, on the ndvlco of a friend, Mrs. Braun
had her husbvnd arrested for assault, but she
regretted her action almost Immediately and
pleaded for the man until he waa released. As

when rent day cuuin nruuiid there wns no monoy

husband, she went to the nearest station houso,
wbero lodgings were provided for the night,
The Brauns next secured a small Hut at 403
East Klgbtv-thlrd street. Mrs. rTelbcrg, the
housekeeper, gavo the following account of
what went on tbero to a Su.v reporter j cslerda) :
"They wero only hero slxueeks, but, good

Several months ago therowas started ln
this city at tho oxpense of n Western woman a
weekly publication which developod more 00
centrlctttes and brought to light more queer
"literary men" than any of It long list of spo
radic prototypes, and bacauio of theso charac
teristic it has furnished some little amusement
to thoso who have had tho patlenco to watch
Its struggles. It counted on its stall long and
short haired men with two names and men
with three, and at least ono wrlUr who gavo
varioty to its pages by using French instead of
what passod for English amontf his co-workers.

It was reported yesterday that a long-haired
critic had boon real saucy to a abort-haired
editor who wrote in Fronob, nnd that two rude
blows had been struck. Arcordlni to tho pop
ular version of this disagreement, the long
hnlrcd crltlo owed the short-htlrcd man !r-,
which had been lent to nliu ns man to man. and
which he declined to pay because ho alleged
tbut tho writer of Fronch had "holdout 8"
duo him from the publication. Tho editor
punched tho crltlo onco ln tbe mouth and then
slapped him so bard that tho nolso was heard
down ln tho Bodloy Hoad book store. Appar
oiitly, however, tho short-haired man thought
that lie bad irono just n little too far, and ho
was quoted jcstenlay as saying: "It Is truo
that 1 hit hlni on tho mouth. 1 am sorry for it,
bucuuso I admire him." Tho critic's frionds
have suggested to him that he cot a hair-cut
and mako tho evidence of admiration mutual.
A man who spent last yoar in Paris, ln com
menting on tho costumes of tho whoolwomen
who are soon ridlntr in this city on the Boule

A Wall street broker, after flnlrhinc; the

The Hayruarket was built thirty or forty

form, MoMahon ran It as a dance ball and
drinking place for the general public Not
withstanding the nondescript character of tbe
people who patronized his plaoo, MoMahon in
sisted that, whllo thoy wero under his roof, they
bhould bo law abiding and quiet. If a patron
cams to him and complained that his
pocket had been plokod ln the place,
MoMahon would have the suspected woman
brought beforo him. Ho acted as proseoutor,
judge, and jury, all ln one. If the culprit, gen
erally a woman, confessed the thoft, she was
told to refund what sbe had taken and waa
ordered to stay oat ot the place for three
months. If shn, though guilty in McMahon's
judgment, refused to confess or refund, she
was turned over to tho polteo and was never
allowed to show her face ln tho Hay

desolation and cuts. The cats, of course, nro tho
cause ot thedcsolntion, and the cause of the
cats is a long story.
Here it is, us tho old man who owns the farm
told It to me:
"My little granddaughter May is to blame for
all this," said tho old man, onco tho most active
man ln tho community, now grown old nnd
seedy, living alone In tho hfg house, penned up
behind barred windows and screonad doors to
keep the cats out.
"A curious little minx May was, always let
to have her own way, and with all sorts ot
queer notions inldo her curly head. She
lived in r-t. Louis, (lod bloss ber, and 0110
day she was going down tho street when she
saw somo boys torturing n kitten. The ras
cals had broken tho poor thing's legs and

"This wus lust tho beginning, Hor heart
thus awakened wont out in sjiupathy to the
whole world of cuts, bho rurul) went out
without returning with one or more stray
cats ln tow, aud she would frequently spend
her Inst penny at tho butcher stall buying
moat for the hungry felines sho met with.
uu may well imagino what a tuursu of this
sort of thing resulted in. It was only a short
tlmo before tho whnlo placo was alive with
cats. So numerous did they bocomo on tho
premises that my son-in-law hnd to sell out
to get rid of Uiein. It wus then, just in tho

Vlrglnin, so striking that, at mr request, he
gnto ll tomontternard In writing as follows:
"After tho death of President William II.
Harrison ln 1811 thero were mock funerals
held, I think, generally over tho country, by
uny of giving expression to tbe nation's
loss and his personal worth. I remem
ber distinctly thero gathered upon the
square ln Charlottesville a band ot mu
sic, a bsarso with empty corfln, pnll benrers.
minUtors ot all denominations, military mid
Masonic orders, studonla and professors from
tbo university, and a largo concourse ot cltl
r.i nt; and that thero was formod thence n
line that marched to nn open grnvo In
a ecmetery near the tonn. Ine Hev, Iticb
nrd K. Meado of Christ Church, otter
tho coffin was lowered Into tbe grave, read tho
committal portion of the burial service of tho
Church, tho soldiers fired a volley, nnd the Ma
sons closed the scone vlth ceremonies usual on
such occasions.
"Some twenty years after, during the war, I
nsked tho Hev. .Mr. Meado If I had dreamed it,
or wus It possible tho Incidents, as above stated,
were true. Ho replied, with a smile, they weie
ceitalnly true, but that ho had hopod 'tho
absurd folly hnd long been forgotten' thus con
tinuing my recollection In regard to what now
Bccms so strange. All thu facts mentioned are
as distinct in my memory ns of lust week."
boDio time after this remlnisccnco whs record
ed by Mr. Taj lor, ho wrote to his friend and
contemporary at tbo university, tbe Hon. John
Ii. Marye of KrederlckBburg, on tho subject and
furnished mo with this oxtract frnra his rordy:
" btrange to say, 1 hove no recollection of tbe
display ln honor of President Harrison whllo wo
woro students nt tbo university, but I do re
member distinctly when .i boj of 8 or 10 a
similar pageant tn Fredericksburg In honor of
some person of distinction, but of whom I can
not recall."
Mr. Tiivlor thought this person must have
been ex-President Monroe, who died ln 1830.
and tlienco Inferred thut. rrcrlous to 1R41. such
ceremonies were not uncommon, probably be
ginning with tho death of Gen. Washington,
ratal rail rroru n Political Platform.
From lh Atlanta Constitution.
Purine n protracted religious meeting In a
Georgia town a Coroner's Jury returned the fol
low Ins verdict In tho ensn of i mnn who had
ners'stontb rofused to attend tho incetlmrs:
" That the deceased came to his death by fall
ing from a political platform, out of tho church
and w itliout hope ln tho world."
