' THE THICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21," 1873, THEY WILL CONTEST THE POINT. A Yot of Gambler’s Tools Recovered from ike Police on a Writ, of Re- plevin; The Confiscation Question fo Be Taken Into the Courts by the Blacklegs. The war between the police authorities and &he gambling fraternity has reached s critical point. Yesterdsy morning, Constable Hartman, of Justice Daggett's court, served a writ of ro- plevin upon Superintendent Washburn, Czptain Hickey, and Sergeant Lull in the interest of two gamblers, named Laflin and Gunn, whose zoom in the Exchange Building, corner of Wash- ington and Clark streets, wes “pulled” on Thursday evening. The apparatus of the estab- lishment, consisting of two tables, s *lag-out,” & ““case-counter,” a* check-rack,” a *dealing- box,” & set of chips,” and & few packs of cards, were confiscated by the police, and it wwas for thé purpose of securing the return of these that the writ was issued. The Constable found the tables and gome of the other toolsat the First Precinct Station, and levied upon them. The rest of the property had been put into & bag and sent to headquerters before Hartman's ar- rival. As soon as he learned this, the Constable called npon the Superintendent. He found the bag resting on a chair in the latter’s office, and siezed it withont delay. The writ was then read to the Chief. In order to prevent the execution of any more writs, for the y at least, Mr. Washburn directed the ofiicers on duty at headquarters to destroy the tools found at No. 250 West Madison street, on Thursday evening. Snbsquent events proved the wisdom of this order. ofore Hartman left with the bag, City Attorney Stiles was sent for by the Superintendent. t official, after ex- amining the writ for daws, asked the Constable o let the property remain in the possession of the police for a few days. He peremptorily re- fused to do_it, knowing full well that it would help feed the furnaces in tho basement before he could levy npon itagain. General Stiles ven- tured the remark that, in his opinion, the police comld retain the _ bag . by force, if neceseary. To this = Hari- men rosponded that he would arrest euy person who undertook to do it on the charge of interfering with an ofiicer in the discharge of his duty. He also said that he would call on the entire police force to aid him, and, if thet failed, the assistance of the militery would be invoked. The interview terminated abruptly at this point, end Hartman withdrow, accompanied by the bag, ‘The writ is returnable on the 23th inst., at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the case will be tried beforo Justice Daggett. Lato in the afternoon another writ of re- plevin was served upon _the Superin- tendent by parties who claimed to have B chattel mortgige on the property taken from No. 250 West Madison. They were courteonsly yet firmly directed to proceed to the basement and scrve the document upon tho furnaces, into which the articles had been thrown Bome hours before, as mentioned above. Superintendent ~ Washburn remacked to a TNE reporter, yesterday afternoon, that ho +was glad that the writs had been served apon him, and that the ;l::nperty had been recovered in one case. The law authorizing the police to confiscato gembling apparatus would now come before the Courts for a thorough examination, 2nd the privileges of the authorities would be clearly defined.

F., takes placo on Wednesday evening, Jan. 8, & Snow's Dancing Academy, No. 62 South Halsted atreet. Andre LoBrun, an octogen arlan, died sudden- 1y yesterday morning at his residence, No. 462 South Union street. The catse of his death is not known, as the Coroner has not yet held an inquest. Chicagoans will feel that they have much to be thankful for when they know that for the month of November the deaths by small-pox in the St. Louis hospitals were 145, besides others not reported, whilo in Chicago but 23 died of the same disease. Therecent fall of anow wasa God-send to men out of money and work. The Relief Employment Burean did & lively business yeaterday in furn- iuhing snow shovellers, and till thero are good men aud boys epough fo bo procured by appls- ing to the office in the Court House square. The Board of Police yesterdsy appointod Peter Trainor, assistant foreman of Engine Company No. 13, and Poter Schour, assistant foreman of Engine Compauy No. 10, foremen, aad promoted Jumes Kingswoll, stoker of Engine No. 15, to the position of engineer. < An inquest was held yesterday on the body of TRosalie Adal, the Polish woman who was run over by a Northwestern Railroad train on Wed- pesday. The verdict was accidental death. Mrs. Adal was 52 years of age, and resided at No. 60 George strect. James Flaberty, a laboriog man, aged 45 years, whose residenco js &b No. 5t Huron street, is missing from there since the 15th. It is faid that hohad considerable money in his posgcs- sion when he dissppeared. Aman, pamed Joseph Hollend, died at the Mercy Hospital yesterday, from the effocts of o Frighttul scalding which ho sustained on Wednes- day morning last by falling into a vat of boilin; ?'dd in Hutchinson's packing-house, at the Stock Yards. Yesterday s fire engine company, composed of white men, was located on Coolidge street, snd isnow in working order. It was expected that tho colored company would be placed there, but this orgauization goes to the corner of Jackson street and Michigan avenue, The pawnshop of Mrs. C. Holland, No. 999 State street, was broken into, bebween 6 and 7 o'clock, on Thursday evening, snd robbed of & cgee of jewelry valued at 500. The burglars entered through & window, and then fastenod the door on the inside 50 88 to prevent the dis- covery of the robbery beforo they conld make thelr escape. The easy-going gentlemen whosoe portly ab- dominal protuberances are covered by the uni- form of the Sidewalk Inspector's Brigado have received orders from the portly Board of Public Works to-keep the sidewalks free from ice. Allah Achmet! Of course no attention will be paid to the order. Last Sunday evening the bedroom of Mr. J. C. Fry, in the building Nos. 84 and 86 LaSallo streef, was robbed of sbout $150 worth of clothing and_ jewelry. Vesterdsy a young man named John Price wag found with one of the missing coats on his back, and wag arrested. He confessed to having a partner in the rob- bery, and stated that the latter had tho jowelry in liis possession. This individual will ‘be cap- tured, beyond a doubt. The recent savere snow-storm has been a sad reminder to those frolicsome young men who have spent the summer amid the fascinations of pin-pool that **dusters” are entirely out of place i December. “Great heavens! what a cli- mate!” was the melancholy remark of & seeker after the * natural” in pool, who, arrayed in all the glory of & light spring overcoat and an airy plug hat, was nteu}x&ting ‘to weather tho corner of fiespxainea and Madison streats, on Thursday night. He deeply felt tho need of the money which “bursts” and unsuccessful *high-ball” bets had cost him. In furtherance of & movement already inaug- urated by Mayor Medill, W. F. Coolbaugh, Wirt Dexter, Charles Fargo, A. C. McClurg, George C. Clarke, Lieutenant Genoral Sheridan, Philip Wadsworth, A. C. Ducat, Ira Holmes, N. K. Fairbank, Murry Nelson, C. M. Henderson, P. C. Maynard, and others, there is to be a public meeting of citizens this eyening in the Council Chamber to take the initiatory step toward tho formation of & first-class, high-toned regiment of militin, Itis said that Mr, Maynard, of the National Bank of Commerco, has' alreads the tames of 200 young gentlemen of goad position Who desire to join euch & regimont, and it is confidently expected that the movoment will re- sult in ono of the finest organizations in tho couatry. e NOTES AND OPINION.

Jr. Boutwell has explained to Congress the provisions of law nunder which he deems that he hed the right to increase_the volume of the cur- rency in October last.

Heholds that ho has tho same right with reference tothe full amount of currency now withdrawn until the limit of $400,000,000 is reached. W pointed out on the 8th of Novem: ber the statutes on which this view of the Secre- tary might be justified. The matter now rests with Congress. The Secretary has avowed his view of the law,.and his own policy. Wil Con- gress leavo him the enormous power ho cloims ornot? That is a plain question, no longor sur- rounded by any uncertainty as to tho conse- quences of inaction, and it must be answered.— New York Times. = i —XMr. Sumner offered his resolution to strike the names of battles from the army register and from our battle-flags, in pursuance of & theory of his to which he has been reasonably consist- ent. He has dono the samo thing before, once certainly when it was doubtful whether we should long need an army register or have any vattle-flags to boast of. "But, his colleagues in Washington and our excitable General Court took no notico of the offence. Indeed, as Mr. Smith, of Boston, remerked in the Houso yes- terdny, we twico returned him to tho Senate al- most unanimously after that time, nobody throwing this stone at him. What is the nse of gotting into o passion about it mow? Make Your patriotic spacchies, gentlemen | Ring out the cHd war cry as loudly as ever! But vote down the resolutions. Massachusetts and her loyal soldiery need nothing of the sort to vindi- cate her.—Boslon Advertiser. —We suggested a few days ago, that if the Congressional Investigating Committee really wanted to examine the entreils of the Crodit Mobilier, they had best call Dr. Thomas C. Du- rant to tho stand. This suggestion is roinforced by the report now in circulation at Washington, that Durant has commenced & suit in the Now York courts for the recovery of tifty shares of Credit Mobilier stock alleged to be in possession of Hon. Jumes Brooks; and that fifty more shares are in dispute between them. This may or maynot be true, but one thing wo rcassert— that Durant knows more about the Union Pacific and the Credit Mobilier business then any other man. Whether he will tell what he knows is an- otlier question, but there is 1o harm in trying. We imagine, however, if Oakes Ames is consnlt- ed, Durant will not be called as & witness.—Sl.
