Mike McDonald eat in the United States district court, Judge Blodgzett, nearly all the morning, By his side was A. 8. Trude, the attorney, and on a able before them reposed a small paek- 2o wrapped in very white tissue paper. (he package contained $7,000 worth of 1set dismonds, and the presonce of the i ng of the gamblers closely concerned their final disposition by the court, In 1879 a diamond broker named Pollard went to McDonald's Clark street gamb ling palace and lost at one sitting $400 in money. The gaming foverwas on him and he left the house to return ina few minutes with a package of diamonds. There were a dozen large and half as many small stones and the lot was val- ued at $8,000. These he put upon the wheel one by one, and when, at midnight, he aroso from the table, he had a world of exper- ience and Mike McDonald had the gems. The {loss would, perhaps, never have been known beyord the *palace” but for the fact that the diamonda played by Pollard did not belong to him, being the property of six_difforent morchanits in New York and Boston, These mer- chants, on becoming acouainted with the fate of tho stones brought suit against McDonald for their recovery. The case has lagged along for four years, and finally came up before Judge Blodgett to-day. MeDonald waived a jury trial and submitted the case to the court for hearing. Several witnesses testified to the facts, More are to testi- fy to-morrow. Pollard, who s a middle- aged man with a bald head, gray side- whiskers, and eye-glasses, was present, and is reprosented by W. H.and J. H, Moora, Throughout the long period of litigation the diamonds have been re- tawed by McDonald in the safe of his Olark street place.

Chicago Herald, There is something behind the Swaim court of injuringin ‘ashington, The pub- lic will be interested to know that Secre- tary Lincoln has been eagor to get s chance to reveal the mysteries of that Washingon army poker club, and the Swaim case affordea him the opportunity. Swaim is said to have been one of the active members of the club, and with others to have done much to attract young officere to the allurements of tho game, where they lost sums they could not afford. The result in many cages was disgraceful in financial humiliztion borrowing money at usurious rates and the duplication avd even triplication of pay accounts, which Swaim is thought 1o have been fully cignizant of and often tc have aided by introducing the victims of the club to a certain class of money lenders. Morrow was a victim to the wiles of these harpies. All his salary for two years ahead went into their maw, 1t is nortorious that some of the oldest and best known officers of the army on duty in Washinston have earned their living at the poker table and at the ex- pense of fyounger officers who could ill afford to gratify their passion for the A captan in the army receives $2,200 a year; a Lieuteuant but §1,800, To dress fashionably, as he is com) to do, to maintein social standing and often support a hmil(.v fe- quires all of that and even more, hat kind of morality is it, therefore in Colon. ols and Ge to permit these young- Do \ sters to drop their pittauce at the gem-|® bling table!
