Venne, who made a post ziortem examinstion of the remains, testified that he found no externsl marks of -violence on the. body .except a gunehob Wound.

Rubinsteir, the grest Sclavonian pianist, hag 1o given two concerts in this city, and a suffi- cient opportunity hes béen afforded to judge of ‘his capabilities 88 2 pianist, and esteblish the position he hotds with reference fo other vir- taosi. At his firSt concert, the sudience was nota large one, and it was com;_)osed almost exclusively of musicians snd musical connois- seurs. A few of tiwese kmew what Rubinstein was, and settled then:selves down in their seats prepared to enjoy 2 rar® mausical feast. Others Jmes Rubinstein only by reputation, and came o hear the testimony before-they agreed upon & yerdict. Still anotherclass knew nothing of him, arvd there were not- & few doubting ‘Thomases, Un like other artists, Rubinstein commences ‘his own programmos, and his first number was the Egmoat overture of Beethoven. The opening chords” fastened the attention of the sudiences 8t once. As he progressed, the inte rest increased, and at its close the eatis1 ‘setion of the audience expressed itself in 8 spont eneous outburet of enthusiasm, such as no oth er artistever received in Chicago, Rubinstein had trinmphed, and thers was not one in that audience, which was probably the most critica 1 sudience ever assembled in this city, who did mot acknowledge the brilliant gen- fus and lofty Artof this master of the pisno. Rubinstein sck nowledged the tribute with a low’ ‘bow, without 0i1e3 removing his eyes from-the. instrument, and proceeded with the sonats, +which formed the: second part of his first num- | ‘ber. Tn personal sppresrance, Rubinstein is o strik- | ‘ing thst be would attract attention lnyvfl\ere. “The most marked feature is, that [ 8 unlike all .other nen. He is of mediumheight, ed sinewy, well-keit frame., His face is fall of 1 'xg,'sed.naflfl :and sirong characteristics, his foreheaa €918Te, ‘his lips large, 2nd his hair long snd throvn back. His eyes have 80 ‘upwwd gaze. In fecing an andience, he looks «overwither than at it. Itisa plain, stern, rog- :ged fue, and in repoke there is nothing in it “whichean be called ettractive, but in the inter~ pretaton of music it grows majestic. The fan- . cied resemblance which some people trace be- treennim and the portraits of Beethoven is mainly imaginary. There aro no points of simi- “Jarity except in the sternness and jmmobility of ‘features, and the manner of wearing the hair. " And yei, with all its plainness, it is a striking face, aud one which will long be remembered. His menner is entirely unpretentious, even awk- ward md nncouth. In his entrance upon the :stage Lo betrays an air of diffidence and embar- rassment. Hebas no personal graces to exhibit, ‘and no coquettish nonsense, He advances di- Tectly to hus piano; has no gloves to remove, 10 ‘Thandkerchiafs to flourish, no wringing of fin- gers, no aitempt to impress his personality or his performance upon_ the sudience. He males a low, cold bow, and then seats himself at the piano with the air of a man who has an artistic duty to perform, and he performs that Guty 1s if 1o one were present but the artist and composer. _He never smiles, never 1ooks at tho ‘andience, slthongh he compels every one in the audience to lcok at him. He rivets’ attention at $ho very onteet, and nover lefs it wander for an jinstant, and that attention which at first is con- centrated upon the &)luyer gradually is fastened Spon the music, and follows it throngh its every hase. The nifimete effect of his playing is to ring the composer before you rather than the cr. l”éytmge a5 it may seem, tho dominating ele- ment of this cold, serious, stern man is pagsion. His art is all nature, and his nature ¢s impetu- ons, fiery, and apparently irresistible, and yet that passion is rogulated and defined by a keen . artistic instinct which never allows it to ovor- Jeap its proper limits. So perfect is this balance between passion and._ artistic discipline that he 9l drop from a fortissimo of the most stormy 3nd spparently ungovernsble character to a - pignissimo €0 elicate that his touch seems like & Ivet, and the keys seem to faintly respond be- -fore his fingers touch them. Out of this passion ‘are born force and rapidity, and in these two re- \epects he_certuinly excels’ any pianist who has ever been in this country. The only one who at @l approaches him in thege resflents is Bendel, whoplsyed at the Boston' Jubiles, & pupil of 3 'deets, and Dbelonging io the Raubinstein Such force and rapidity require no ordi- vy endorance, and, in this direction, Rubin- Pien seems equal to any emergency. His e8! “\g, sinewy bandsnever weaken in their task, Hisp V¥er of ‘endurance never scems to flag, but FI%E 100d to the ond, 50 that tho proper rhythm holis Yausic is noverdisturbed. Hecan execate £ long-i urolved prestissimo with lightning-like % iy, and then drop into an-adagio without Tho: eligh test irregularity, and with a perfect flow of m ovement which does not betray' any eakness OF BUY sign of pxhaustion. In liko Thaoner he C&O OIECULC messure afier measure T fortissim 0, evoking a body of tone from the Ihetrument , like tho crash of a thunder-storm, and then 1 astantly change to a nianissimo %5 coft apd’ delicato, and eech note es Cloar sud perfect ~ as the patter of Saindzops. Buch performances must % necessity be exisusting, but the intensity of OF o mas's metarc ) and the thorongh manner in hich b has die ¢iplined his powers, do not al- ne. low it to be noticed ‘;és the pisno, whatever effect i afterwards. 3 3 G Ei?:?nih iafnmething wonderful “and herdly to be described, as it adapts itself to every class of music and to every ranging shade of expres- gion. It is powerful, crisp, &nd unerring, and yetitis exquisitely Light and graceful. It is Capuble of imparting majesty and massivencss or delicacy and refinement. By-virtue of it be can produce & cantabile effect a8 rich as that of Gottachalk; he can gather together the full re- gources of the instrument and concentrate them, 59 Ho other player can, in s rushing torrent of barmony, of he can reduce the tones of the piano, in 0ft paseages, to the delicacy and placidity of a brook-flow. But, whatever may. the character of the music which is en; g. him, his touch is_always raceful and sparkling,. and, where it is re- quired, has an ineffable tenderness. At times Dis hands Tise and fall, seemingly in tho most listless, nonchalant, and mechanical way; but listen! and you will find that the rythm is as regular as clockwork, and that every chordis struck ont full, rounded, and perfect. The compositions of Rubipgtein—one. compo- gition alone, the Ocean Symphony, which was one produced here entire—furnish tho evidenco of the poetical nature of his- organization.- His execution of others’ music adds’ to- the' proofs, Whether it be the ancient, Bevere forms of Bach, the majestic deg%hs “of " Besthoven, the graceful measures of Mendelssohn, .the weird numbers of Chopin, or the quaint .and. fancifal ideas of Schumann, his conception. of them is always refined and trme “to---the ideas of the composer, Althongh - his' indi- viduality is intense, ‘it ''does’ ' mot enforce itself to the detriment of the musie and with all the magnetism of his influence, it i8. doubtful whether any other pianist has 80-merg- ed himself in the music and- 8o completely de- Yoted his gifts, both of intelligence and physique, to the correct ini retation of “compoker, and to the establishment of the proper relations between the composer and the audience. As be sits before his piano, he is not .caly forgetful of his sudience, but self-forgetful.- - He is oblivious to all but_ the music beforehim; and devotes ‘himself, body andsoul, to its reading, and herein Do differs from nearly every other player. Thal- berg, Jaell, Gott: and othors, have had the Enwerto’axert as strongly magpetic. influence, ut it was purely objective.- It had no power beyond the direct, personsl influence -of -the player upon the listener, and the resmlt was_ that the listener went away with an impression of the skill of the pleyer, bub withoat a solitary ides perhaps of the music which had been performed. Rubinstein, on the other hand, by degrees lets the listener into tho secrets of the music he is playing, and so illus- trates the ideas of the composer with his brill- iant genius, his wonderfal technique, and pov ers of expression, that he withdraws tho attes tion of the listener from himself and concen- trates it on the music. This can only be the work of & conscientious and truly great artist, and the mission of such 2 man is of the highes and noblest character. For this reason, it for no other, every person who has s-love for masic, and especially every person who makes pretensions to piano playing, should hear him, ot merely for his own wonderful gifts, but that they may learn something of the character and style of the best music which has beed written for the piano, and of the proper method of in- terpreting it. At the concert last evening, the sttendance was better than on Monday evening, and the gaggrammemom varied. The indisposition of 5. Ormeny caused a change in the numbers, and her place on the programme was filled by Rubinstein, who substituted three of his own compositions—Burcarole (No. 5), never before played in this country, & Melodie, and a Valse Caprice. His other numbers were & Prelude and Fugue, and the Fantasie Chromatiquo, by Bacl, one of John Field's delightful nocturnes, Liszt's transcription of Schubert's ¢Erl King,” the from _ Beethoven's “Ruins of Athens,” snd Schumann’s fanciful * Car- nival.”’ A wider, a more trying range of music was never attempted before by & pisnist. His resding of the * Erl King " was thoroughly realistic, and brought before the listener & per- foct tone-picture, not only in the working up of its intensely dramatic and involved technique, but also in the expression of the poetical senti- ment. The fearful ride so vividly expressed in triplets, the fright of the child, the soothing of the father, and the voice of the Erl King sound- ing throngh the storm were vividly delineated, and with a distinotoess es startling 8s in the very. similar effect produced recently by the Thomas orchestra in Wagner's * Ritt der Walkneren.” In the Turkish March, by the use of a magnificent decrescendo, he produced the absolute effect.of a full band approsching, Eo:asing, and faintly dying away in the distanco. Schumann’s * Carnival,” which is mede up of & score or more of odd conceits, interwoven in such an arabesque as Schumann alone could construct, his powers were displayed at their best. It would be the hardest of tasks for any pianist—what other, indeed wonld attempt, it 2— 1o take these melodies, constantly changing in their moods, and as =ziry and fantastic ss enything in the whole range of musio, _ond- - give to -‘each its roper color and expression, and yet, in his hands, $t seemed an easy work. The meré physical ef- fort itself must have been extremely exhaust- ing, and yet ho showed no signs of flagging, and, inGed, blayed the Davidite March closing the # Carnival” with immense nerve and vigor. The enthusiasm of the audience throughout the evening knew no bounds, snd the house fro- K nenfiin.ng with bravas. At the close of the urkish March sn_encore was persistentg demanded, to which, contrary to his ueu custom, he yielded, and replied with Chopin's Bercense, which was most deliciously played. We have necessarily written much of Rubin- stein to the exclusion of the other artists in the | troupe, but it would be unjust to close withont some reference to Wieniawsky, the violinist, +who i8 & worthy artistic companion to Rubin- ptein. He combines all the essentials of a great artist. Like Rubinstein, he is singularly un- pretentions and free from personal display. His tone is Ser[ection itelf, his technique wonder- ful, and his style arifstic in every respect, Thére never has been & mora thoronghly legiti- mate and conecientious bit of violin playing heard here than his performance of the alr by -Bach on Monday - evening, got only for the rich, deep tone Siich De produced, but plso for the inflexible manner in which he adhered to the spirit of £he air. It would have satisfled old ohsnn Sebastian bimeelf, Equally beantiful, in & different way, was the pleying of his own fantasie on *“ Faust,” in which the violin fairly sng ©Tho Calf of Gold " aris, and the princi- pal numbers of the garden musio, in a manner Yhich vividly painted the poetical surronndings of the opera. Hig school 1s based upon that of Poganini, and has the same romantic style of that masfer without his neryousness or eccen- tricity. Hisplayingof classical music s singularly fruo in treatment, and is marked by an nnusual dopth of feeling. ~ With the exception of Vieux- temps, he surpasses all others who have been here, and, in some respects, particularly in his treatmentof classical music, heis a gresfer artist than Vienxtemps: . ' Tho vocalists of the troupe may be essily dis- posed of. Mlle. Ormeny’s voice is worn badly, snd her atyleof yocalization hard inths $xtreme. Mlle. Liebhart has a fair voice, and sings light ballads in an acceptable way, but neither of them 2dd much to the attractiveness of the concerts. The programme for this evening is s fol- lows : PART T a.

March, “ Midsummer Night's Dream,” -Mendelssohn *Avifon Rubtnatcin, THE DRAMA, The audiences which assembled at McVieker's Thestre on Monday and Tuesday cvenings were composed of & class of people whose attendance upon any performance implies & compliment. The house wss well filled on_ench. occasion, and the fact that it was 8o, in the face of strong counter-attractions, themselves of & character tending to call out the fashionsble. and eritical, must be taken a8 an evidenco of the warm es- teem in which Migs Jane Coombs i8 held in Chi- cago. Her reception was of the most cordial, Lindly character, and her efforts to please were “rewarded by the most enthusiastic appreciation, She acted wisely in choosing for her opening assumption the role of Lady Teazle in Sheridan’s splendid old comedy, *School for Scandal," 88 it is in that character, the staudard and the test of all female comedy impersonations, that Miss Coombs was best and most favorably remembered by Chicago theatre-goers. She was also fortunate in choosing McVicker's as the’ place of her appearance, for in no other theatre could she have enjoyed the advantage of sup- port 50 powerful, and of preparations 80 com- plete and elaborate. Her handling of the char- actér of Lady Teazle is so nearly faultless in its artistic conception and treatment as to place it almost beyond the pale of criticism. i susceptible of comparison, for it is the finest we havo ever seen, and nu{hing remsains but to ‘praise unqual.iéedly. To Nature’s endowments of facial features of rare swestness and intellec- tual expressiveness, and s figure, gracofd], lithe, supple, symmetrical, art has added a pliant, sympathetic voice - of remarksble distinctness and power, while dramatic genius of a high or- der helps to complete the porfect poriraiture. Her'support by the company is unusually ade- quate and powerful. In Mr. Lanagan we have —not “the finest vo ] ever seen here,” as & morning. con- temporary puts it, forgetting that Mark Smith has acted the part in Chicago—but, certainly, & rendition of surpassing ment. Though-the per- sonation is somewhat lacking in the rich, unc- tuous flavor which shonld characterize it, Mr. Lansgan imparts to ita. msfl, dry, clean-cut dignity and force which denote the careful study and thorough understanding of its requirements, and his slight short-comings are lost eight of in the excellenco of the ensemble. Mr. O'Neill, a8 Charles Surface, is peculiarly pleasing ; indeed, rather too much -so. A little less oxuberance Would better befit the character, which he looks, dresses, and, ‘in the main, ‘acts admirably. Among’ the gentlemen, Mr. Poywer as Joseph Surface, Jr. Barry as Moses. Dr. Blaké a8, Crav- ircé, Mr. Gray as Rouwley, Mr. Barron as, Sir Beu- jamin, ond..Mr. Roacoe as Careless, 2ro all notably excellent. The weak -point of the cast is.- in the role of Sir Olwer, which ghould be entrusted to more capa- ble hands than those of Mr. Pendleton, whose mu;tmmrke_dv dsfect is Lis inability to simulat an; approaching & natural lay 8. Stonnnlf l\fi-a Post, and Miss MnAglgeter, as Mrs. Candor, Lady Sneerwell, and Maria, com- plete the list of strong and effective adjuncts.to the performance. - The ladies deserve especial ‘mention for the richness and elegance of _their costumes. Mr. McVicker has_amply fulfilled his promise to give tho play an elaborate and ap- propriate mounting.. Piner stage sottings are not to be found in any theatrs, while in all re- spects the **School for Scandal " is produced as it never wag beforo jn Chicago. - MRS, SIDDONS' READING. A larger ‘andience welcomed Mrs. Scott Sid- dons on Monduy evening, on the occasion of hier first appearance as a reader in this city, than the ‘mansgens of the Star Lectare Course have hith- erto succeeded in bringing together, the seating capacity of the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church being sorely taxed. . Siddons was attired in artich Tuby moire antiquo, trimmed with deep flounces of old Venetian point lace, collar of the same, sleeves of point lacs, confined by & ruby patin band. On her wrists she wore 2 pair of bracelets, presented to her by Queen Victoria, and composed of massive gold, studded with 36 rubies and numerous diamonds. Sha | also wore .o locket of gold, stud- ded with _diamonds, preserited to “hor publicly in Boston. The readings consisted of scenes from “*Much Ado About Nothing, “The Death of Constance Beverly,” from ‘‘ Maymior Tennyeon's_*Lady Clara;” the E]efll'hwflking scene from Macbeth ; Tennyson's May Queen; " and scenes from *¢ School for Scandal,” with se- Jections on the organ by Louis Falk. Lasteven- ing another large and fashionable sudience filled the Union Park Congxegnfionnl Church, on the occasion of Mrs. Siddons’ second and last ap- gemnce. Her selections included portions of hekspeare’s *‘AsYou Like It,” Lmlg Clara;” Falconer's ** Anna Hathaway, or Shakspeare’s Wooing ;" the _sleep-walking scene from “ Macbeth ;” Browning's “How _they Brought the Good News from Ghent to ix;” Whittier's * Barbara TFrietchie,” and the ** Courtship of Benry V.,” from Shaks- peare. Her choice of readings is perfectly in Lceping hil b6 eenlite Tonialle et in which sweet, graceful sentiment, subdued earn- estness, and quiet force are tbe predomi- nant characteristics, With no suggestion of the grand impressivenoss of Charlotte Cushman, whose domain s a reader she does not venture upon, Mrs, Siddons evidently aims rather to de- light than to thrill her auditors, and in this she certainly succeeds. Her elocution 18 exquisitely neat and tasteful, her voice clear, pure, and flex- ible, and tho pleasing effect is greatly heighten- .od by the varying play of & face singularly ex- pressive and attractive. Thoso who Lave tried it say that Forrest’s reading mever produced so fine an effect a8 when the listener eat with clos- ed oyes. Preciscly the reverse is true of Mrs. Siddons, wlio must be scento be sppreciated. Thongh the question as to_her _histrionic abili- ties was never unanimously settled either wsy, it cannot be denied that, as & popular reader, sho is & decided success. THE AGADEMY OF MUSIC. A Life's Dream,” the comedy prosented by the Lingard troupe at the Academy of Music, promises o have o successfal_ran .through- the wweek, not becsuse of bny &uficn!_ar merit in the play, but on account of the reputation- of the company, which has not deteriorated since it last appeared before a Chicago audience. -Contrary to the ususl course of events in plays, this starts out with a marriage; Charles Page (Hud- son) being joined in the holy bonds to Lady 2Aabel Chandos (Alice Dunning Lingard). The preceding courtehip, if any, is left to the spec- tator's imagination. ‘While they are at church the Hon. Frederick Danby, (Lingham), the * vil- Iain" of the, fliecn, calls at the house, and of course is stricken with gricf and mortification on realizing that the girl he wooed seven years before he went to India 28 a soldier, had gone back on him, and married another. The bridel party returns from charch, when he exhibits tho Tsual contortions of features s’ngposud to in- dicate the feelings of & man whose heart is bowed down for the logs of his beloved, all of which every one who has experienced a similar ‘bereavement can reedily appeciate. Thero is nothing more natural than that & mean’s brother should attend his wedding, and therefore no one is snrfirised to find that Scarlet Page, (Lingard), is on hand to witness the ceremony. He..is & country bumpkin, with s fand -of ‘mother-wit that amuses as muchas his rural” manuers’ con- trast strangely with the usages of the polito socioty into which ho bappened to be thrown. Grace Der Platt (liss D. Lingard) takes a ghine to Scarlet, and before the.end .of the act they aro ongeged; -tho quiokest courtship on record, occupying about an - hour. Joln Babybuck (Ryer), aged 92, comes upon the Ecene also, for what purpose i mot apparent, except: to-show how well he can play the part. e flirts with Mary Salt (Aliss.Eliza . Hudson) danghter of Captain Ballery Sali, an. old. sailor, 2nd znotherextraneous and ontirely unnecessary character. Danby begins to maké troable be- tween the newly-married couple, producing the letter written by the wife in the gushing djgfl of girlhood, One of thelotters falls into the hands of the husband, and, without any other provocation, he turns Lis wife out doors without 3 bonuet, although it is supposedto be raining bucketsful) outside. It is undoubtedly a very cruel proceding. Tho provocation hardly jus- tifies it, nor would it do for people in resl life 10 bo 80 particular. Scarlet grows sngry, and very properly abuses his brother for his” jnhuman ~ conduct. _ This closes the second_act. Somewhere between the second and third actg Scarlel marries Grace, and be- comes s confirmed inebriate. The third mct cures him of his love for drink, by putting him in a coffin, and making him belisve that he has taken ug his abode among the tombs, He gets cured, but why, when, and how he descended from his sober state in_the first act, to his be- sotted condition in the_third, none can tell, and what connection there is betiveen the acts is in- comprehensible, The last scene makes every- thing happy ; the villain repents and leaves the ‘married couplo to enjoy life in his absence. Though therp is no-unify in the play, though it is chronologically absurd and generally inox- plicable, it brings ‘out the’ strong points'of the actors, and affords them opportunity to exhibit their 5,:[“!1“ powers to the best ‘advantage. The of guo i8 - humorous and.. enter- taining, and some _of - the- situations atterly - Indicrous: ~ Lingard has lost none of his humor ; timeé &nd_esperience have improyed him wonderfully, atd in Lis own line B hetter than ever, In tho drunken scone ho is admirable, and the fun.he. causes fally makes amends for the interpolation of a scens that has no legitimatorelation to tho play. Alice Dunning Lingerd is pleasing, ' She dresses her handsome form with exqusife “faste,” Bhe is natural in her reading. Her voice is occasion- ally monotonous, but not unmusical. She .is athetic in the interview: with her quondam over. Mies D. Lingard is young and fair, and not without promise for the fature. In the Tove episode she fiirted quite gracefully. Hud- son is not unknown on the Chicago stage. He is physically as great as ever, and & more effective actor _then in the former days He was well received. Tiyer deserves praise for his rendition of the 'old man " psrt, which was really excellent. Lingham was evidently new in his part, and, but Tor £o0 much scting, would have been better. Miss Hudeon performed what little fell to hor share without effect. Lingard's sketches concluded the performance, He appeared in ten characters never before pre- sented in this city. He won merited applause. Hia singing wad unusuelly good, and the impersonations of celebrated men were as faith- ful and 29 easily recognized as one of Nast's car- toons. These of thomselvesconstitute sufticient attraction to draw large houses indopendent of & , It is not | Sir Pefer | we ' have .|-audience with laughter. funny comedy, in which there is much that is excellent, and which i faulty only in its.con- struction and continwty, or, rather, the.want -of continuity. Those whohave a desire to laugh heartily and pass a jolly evening should go -and enjoy the play and its shortcomings, the short- comings being nearly as 1aughsble s the play i self. The orchestra was simply execrabls, all the instruments being out of tune, so that the. efforts of Signor Oberti to do justice to his. se-- lections, though frantic, were futile. The programme of the theatre, in addition to - pawnbrokers’ advertisements, continues to ‘re- mind the audience of a disagreeable occurrence that took place in the house on Thanksgiving night. Now that_ it is past, the public do not need to be reminded that masquerade costumes can be hired from the actorsand actresses. The sooner all memory of that unbappy and indeli~ cate oxhibition can be banished the better it will be for the Academy. Thatb standing edvertise- ‘ment should be distributed. ODDITIES IN CRITICISM. The .Times got into deep water yesterdsy morning in its criticisms of Rubinstein and Jane Coombs. After the extraordinary assertion that *the voice of Jenny Lind, with its magnifi- cent volume, sweetness and pruity, * * * ¥ bust on the American pn:«bhr:,"_‘hc.X Miss Coombs is made to play on tho ** G string,” as follows : ‘Miss Jane Coombs, a8 Lady Teazle, fully sustains the great reputation she has so steadily earned, and, wo ‘may, say literally wrung from us. Her impefeonation of the young, foshionabls, of the genius that breathes inspiration into them. The most” striking feature of her ovening’a performance was her uso of the G strin in the little Bacharia of her finzl number. . * MYERS’ OPERA HOUSE. Arlington, Cotton 2nd Kemble's Minstrels are laying an excellent qmgrnn;me this week to ‘air houses, The vocal and instrumental con- cert includes new ballads and comic songs. Milburn's graphic portraitures are exceedingly amusing, and the three burlesques shake the Thé duet by Tyrrell and Lang, and the songs and dances by Mackin and Wilson, fill in the bill of fare. The per- formance throughout is free from anything to offend the most fastidious, and the attractions are numerous apd strong. s —_ THE * ROPERS.” All to Be Found in the City Arrested by the Police Lust Evening. The Superintendent of Police seems deter- mined to eradicate the thieves who are known as “ropers.” These fellows have long held sway in Chicago, and many s visitor from the conntry ‘hias regretted that he permitted them to scrape an scquaintance with him. Thoy loitered around the Sherman House and a restaurant on Madi- gon street, near Clinton, and were ever on the watch for & greon-looking countrymen. Having a glib tongue, they soon introduced themselves to him, ond so hour sfterwards the victim vwas ydleased from o “bunko” room or n brace faro house ofter having been robbed of every cent he possessed, Their countenances were well known to the po- ‘lice, but, notwithstanding frequent complaints were lodged against them, no effort was mede to arreat them, Their employers alons were taken into cnsm;l]{, and, the countryman’s money be- ing generally restored, wero released or evaded punishment” somehow. Yestordsy, the hesd- quarter detectives, in accordance with instruc- tions from the Superintendent, captured all the ropers they could find, and locked them up in the Bixth Precinct Station. Until Monday last there were over fifty in Chicago; only twelve wero arzested. About thirty of the others were notified by somo one on Monday night of the raid and left the city, and the remainder kept out of the way. Nome wero to be seen &t their favorite haunta last night, and & curiosity-seoking ruralite may, perhaps, be able to walk the streeta of Chicago for a short time at lesat and retain his cash. The names of the men arrested_are Frank Searles, Barney Marks, l?E&petim Joe, George Eggleston, Red Headed Murphy, W. E. Lawrence, Harry Law- Tence, Peanut Johnny, Thomas Ward, alias Hus- tice, alizs Nobby Boy, J. T. Daniels, B. Hanter, and P. P. Hobbs, They remained in the station liouse but a short time, their friends giving ‘bonds for their appearance at the Police Court this morning. It 18 to be hoped Justice Scully will fine them $100 apiece, and send them to the Bridewell, if they fail to pay it. I any aro sble to scrape togother the money, they should be pulled ngain and sgain, and until they are obliged to devote & few of their days to working for the benefit of the city: —2rs.
