A Aroltration Committec, connistinz of ffteen members of the Society, was zppointed 10 call upon tle bosses, nnd see 1f & cumpromise could “not .be adupted withont reroring o arbitrary measures. The principal objectof last cveming's meeting was to hear the report of the Committee. The ball was crowded 10 sntfocation, and none but members were ad. miutted. Itislearned that the Arbitration Com- mittee reported that the bosscs and manafacturers ZIefused o Lrest with them, the latter preferring to deal with their men directly. This report occas sioned a great deal of Lot blood, and some of the Bavage ones advocated the inauguration of a strike without further delay. The more modcrate mem- bers of the Soclety, howerer, were in favor of de- Iny, as there was siill & DrOSPCCL Of & compromise being cffected throuzh pesceable means. It was stated thal some of the bosses had ‘ already offersd an advance of 50 conts per case. The fecling among thse present, however, was that nothing less than $1 should be accepted. The meeting lasicd untii a late honr, but no defi- nite action was rezched. Unless some compromise is efected within a few days, there can hardly bes donbt that the Crispins will Lry to order a_strike, bat it is as doubtfal whether the men will run the risk of a certzin loas for a possible gain.

Roscnberg, from Louis Goldsmith, of New York City, a cablegram from Mualch, Germany, to that effect having been sent him. A confirmatory dispatch from Joseph Roseaberg, son of the Al- derman, und confidential secretary of Mr. Reese, was subsequently received. Mr. Reese died sud- denly at Wallerstein, Bavaria, of apoplexy. His age was 63 years, and he was a bachelor. A Tamin- Nk reporter called on Ald. Rosenberg last even- and ootained from him the following facts re- ing one of the Bonanza Kings of the Pa cach; Biler’ avenus Mr. Reese was born in the Town of Heinfarth, Davaria. and came to this country in 1837, Ianding at Bultimore. ~ Being of an energetic. disposition, and, like his race, inclined to accumulate weal ) he startea out to peddle goods from a wagon, ta! ing the State of Virginia as field for his_1abors. He was succesaful, and made money . enough to open a wholesale jewelry and sflverware store 1 Nassau street, New York. in which he continued 8 number of years, and made moncy. In 1850, when the Californin- gold ~ fever was still at its bejzht, and that country gave prom- ife of fortunce, Mr. Reese disposed of his busi- ness inNew York, and with the proceeds went to the land of gold. Being a man of quick perception in business chances, he invested in resl catate to a conwderable_extént in San Francisco, securing some of the most eligible property there, and soon begzan to reap the fruits of his investments. lle continued on successfully asa general thing, but suffered ome heavy losses at times, which he was always prompt in seitling. He was close and fair in all his transactions, and atthe time of his death was reputed to_be worth from 8,000,000 to $14,000,000. Ald. Rosenberg thinks the former amonnt is the most correct, for the reason that thereshas been large shrinkage in values generally, and it has affectcd Mr. Recse's interests along with others. In addition to his San Francisco property, he owned a large ranche of several thousande of uéres near Los Augeles, and was an exiensive holder- of railroad, tele- graph, and other siocks. He held 2,000 shares m_the Bank of California_when that’ institation failed, but maintained his interest thercin, and was a large stockholder at the time of his death.

The camp-ineeting in progress at Lake Bluff was well attended yesterdsy by sbout 600 pedple. Although the day was devoted to Jocal preachers, the usual number of prayer and -experience meet- ings were held, and at all of them great interest was manifosted. Gatherings of this character were held in the different tents and chapers at 8:30 o'clack 1n the morning, and at 10 the_people gathered in_the ‘Tabernacle, where the Rev. A. Newton. of Palatine, was announced to preach. After singing by the congrezution, Mr. Newton spoke on **The Fullness of Christian Joy, " hie text boing from John, xvi., 24,—'*Askand ye shail receive, that your joy may be full." The Christian roligion,” he said, was one of Joy. and everything created by God was a thing of beauty andasource of joy £o those who lookea upon God's works in the proper spirit. The prevalent notion that Chrlal's roligion ook all the Joy ot of & per- son's life was & great mistake. Nothiug could be farther from the trath. Tho Christian's joy was & pucer and greater opo than any other, and none who could sccure t, as all could by accepting the salvation oftered by Jesus Christ, should hesitate for a moment about'doing #o. At.the close of the .sermon. prayer and experi- ence meetings were held in the Clark Street Chapel snd Woman's Temperance Union building. IN THE APTERNOON, at 1 o'clock, experience meetinga were held fn Clark Street Chapel and the Tabernacle, the former being led by Dr. Parkhurst, and the latter by M J.F. Willing. ~When these meetings were con. ciuded, all the people assembled in the Tabernacle to listen to a sermon 1o the local clergy by Bishop Merrill. The Rov. Dr, Willing presided, and said that two morning meetings were being held. 1Ile saidthat, after the meeting he wns then addressing had adjourned, taere. would be two honrs of rest, and then proceeded to make some facetious re- marks, into which he lugzed the reporters. After he had finished, Bishop Merrill came forward, and said that, us the audience wasa mixed oue, and not many local preachers in it. he should not speak especially to the latter class, but would make some remarks on **What Constitutes an Efficient ana Successful Church.” Tho st requisite, he eaid, was cvangelical doctrines; the people must be sound in the faith. Some people wanted religion without theology, but there could be no such thing. The speaker was not much of o bigot. but he recognizéd the fact that there could be'but one standard of doctrme. All doctrines were gathered from the Bible, and what was not to be found there or to-be proved thereby, was not necessary to salvation. There should be an evan- gelical minatry; not priests. but men called to the work, who preached because they believed it to be their duty, und not simply because they had been ordained by some other man to do s0. A proper and equitable distribution of church work was the next thing. 1t was not to be expected thatoneman could do it all. ~'This distribution of work was one of the most important and at the same time one of most delicute points inthe general government of the Church. and the speaker detailed the internal workiugs of the Methodist Church. the different ofticers, etc. In regard to the circuit system, he said that in olden times the traveling preachers thought it their duty s the close of the year to re- port several new places where preaching sd been established, bot now, he was afraid, some of the preachers on circuits were looking lo sce where places could be lopped oft. The Presiding Elders wero then referred to, the Bishop saying that some man **supposed " 1o he wise was selected for that oftice: but that there was no honor in it more than in the work of an exhorter or local preachers. Personal piety iu the membership of churches was an . imoortant point. There should be mo such thing a8 an_unconveried church member. Al should be active members, and there could be no confidence in professions of piety that were unaccompanicd by hand work for the cause in which all Chris:ians were supposcd to be enlisted. The conversion of the world was 10 be accomplished by the conversion of individuals, and this should be kept in view by all who were in- terested 1n the final triumph of Christ's reiigion. These were the essentini points of a succesaful church, and should be thought over by 21l who pro- feased 'religion. The meeting was then dismissed with the benediction. Last evening Dr. S, A. W, Jewett, of Frecport, preached in the Tabernacle. ~To-day there will be preaching in the morning by Bishop Merrill, in the afternoon by Dr. Raymond, of Evanston, and in the crening by the Rev. Mr. Burns, of Jackeon- ville, 3 i TEXAS. MR. 1RUS F. COY, who has lately truveled through one of the most at- tractive regions in Texas, in company with Lew Steward, who was once upon a time the Greenback candidate for Governor, returned to the city a few days ngo, and in con- versation with o reporter yesterdsy spoke in glowing terms of whbat is now called ** The Italy of America.” The two travelers went to Texar- kang, thence to Palestine, on the International & Great Northern Road, Galveston, Houston. Hempstead, and to a’young but thriving place known us ** Taylor,” in Williamson County, onc wile from which are the Flaz Springs, where Mr. John R. Hoxie, of this city. owns some 3,000 acres of land, which he'has under cultivation. The corn in the flelds was ripe, and the golden ears ready to be plucked, while osts and wheat had been gathered in pefore thelf arrival in large and other- wise gratifyingcrops. Cotton promised an abun- dant crop. Fruit, such as figs, grapes, and peaches of tne most luscious character, large and juicy, were found in abundauce. The people 1n ‘T'exas, which is inhabited lurgely by settlers from the North and East, are just beginning to cultivate the vast prairie lands in the State on a large scale, and with every promise of protit. Mr. Coy describes the land in Willismson County us being as hand- some rolling prairie, with black, rich soil, as one can find in the northern part of 1llinois or in Iowa. Land i Texas, and good timber land at tpat, can be bought for from $1 to $2.50 an acre, and the vast prairies 8tretch 83 farus the eye can reach, seemingly without end. Taylor, althongh only eighteen months old. con- tains about 1,500 peovle, and i steadily growing iu size and importance. The climate and the scasons are everything that could be desired by the beart of man. There frost never comes until Christmas. The farmers begin plowing for their epring crop in January, 50 that they haye three or four months longer to cultivate their ground than the farmers in Llinois have, for instance. Early vegetables are planted in February, and along abont the last of April.the Texas peopie are esting strawberries, eariy potatoes, and tomatoes grown at their own doors. The rapidity with which corn and cotton grow is equally remarkable. The short, mild winters render it unnecessary to provide cither much fuel, or fodder for the cattle, while m summer the warm daye are tempered by the refreshingly cool mormmys and nights, While Chicagoans were sweltering last month, the people inTexns were sleepiug with blankets over them. Inthe course of two years, Mr. Coy thinks, the country around Willizison Connty and north of Austin will be settled as thickly as some of the mos. popular portions in the interior of “Illinois. Mr. Coy referred with delight ,to the gcene which greeted his eye at the sight of the San Gavriel River, running through Williamson Coun- ty, its high 'banks covered with trees in full bloom,—iucluding _the - ‘*‘Umbrella China,™ the top of which, with ils spreading foliage, ~ looks like 'an umbrella _opened, and which forms a delightfnl shade. There are also pecan Lrees and all kinds of forest trees, while wild plums and gooseberries grow in abundance, and grapevines that look as if_they were 100 years old hitng down from the weight of their rich clus- ters of wild grapes. Mr, Hoxie has under cultiva- tion ubout forty acres of nursery land and vine- yards, and is enthusiastic at the rich results. Not the least evidence of civilization and progress is the fact - that Tius TrisuNE has penetrated down there, and is, in reality, the only paper from the North that the Texas peoble, or at lenst those 1 tuis rich region, ever hear of or ever sce. THE VICTOR. MRS. DWYER’S COMPLAINT. An action in debt for 31,000 was vegun yeater- @2y 1n the County Court against the Victor Sewing- Machine Compony, the plaintiff being Mrs. Mary Dwyer, who livesat 190 Sheflicld avenue. The story told by her is subsantiatly as follows: Along in 1870 & canvasser for the Victor machine came to her, and urged her to biy one. She said that she had andther make of machine, with which she was perfectly satisfed. The map, however, coaxed und bulidozed her until she conseuted to give it up, and to take in exchange, on triul merely, as he'said, a Victor. At the samc time the Can- vasser gave her a document to sign, which she supposed was o receipt.or something of that sort. ‘The old machine was removed, and she set to work on the new one. She aoon found that it was mn- eatisfactory, and sent. word that she wanted her old one back. In a little while ademand was made upon her for money on account, of_ this machine. A gentleman, in whose jaw‘ly she had been em- ployed, went to cali upon the agent of the Victor to se¢ what the troubic was. He told the story. as he beard it from the woman, and the agent said thal it wos not unlikely that the canvasser had rather 1mposed upon Mrs. Pwyer. She bad, however, signed an agteement by which she asreed 10 pay £85 for the new-machine, For the old one she was allowed $30, and.the difforcace was to be peid in moothly installments. _Aftersome talk, the agent agreed 10 restorc, not the old machine, - for that had been sold, but a similar.one, and. take away the Victor if he was'paid $10 for lus tronble. After some beating down. he awreed. o take. 5.

A DATTALION DRILL of about one-fifth of the First Regiment took nlace upon the parade grounds of that orgamization at Lincoln Park last evening. The régiment never had a slimmer turn-out ora_poorer drill since its organization, partly owing to the season of vaca- tions, the day, and the'hour. Those present were nearly all new members, this being their firat ex- pericnce in battalion cvolntions. Considering these facts, it is “mot ‘eurprising that they did not_ do better. crowd . of people witnessed the drill, buty thev had eeen the or- gamzation do so much belter, they were not highly €luted over the exhibiuion. and npeither were the ofticers. If the City Fatners wonld overcome snme of their scruples and aliow the soldiers 1o drill the Lake Park, they would soor attain an efficiency 1n battalion movements, but when they are obliged Lo tire themselves ont in getting to their grounds they cannot e xvect to 1mprove very much. CAMPING OUT. Company B, First Itegiment L N. G.—with whom first originated the idea of a camp hfe a8 affording the hest facilities for increasing pro- ficiency:in drill, aud by whom it was Brst put in practice—is encampea upon the Lake-Front in the south end of the Exposition grounds. For tne past three weeks their five white tenta and the armed men have lent 2 decidedly military appear- ance to that part of the city, and for fully 2 month longer they expect to remain. The daily lifeof the *-1s" is ot precisely that of o regutar camping- out party. Every evening the company assembles at the Armory on Lake street, and marches thence with arms and equipments to the camp. A drill of aboat two hours' duration is the regular eveming's work, and the boys have become s0 accostomed to 1t that two hours' work is not enough to **sweat & hair.” Taps sonnd at 11 o'clock, and from that time to in the morn- ing the camp is still as_death, eave for the guards, who are posted with the precision of army regu- lations. A drill from 4:30 to 6 o'clock in the mdming serves only s an_appetizer, and, after leaving the arms at the armory, camp life is over Tor the day. There are several companies in the regiment that have adopted such a plan for increas- ing their skill in the manual of arms and fleld evo- Jutions, and they are all meeting with that degree of success which their zeal for regimental and company honors deserves. Company B is one of the three oldest organizations in the regi- ment, and has olways taken @ vory high place in regimental standimg. The work of its members has of Jate sliown a marked fmprovement, and before they strike their tents they will have reached a degree of proficiency bor- dering upon perfection. 'The daily or mightly at- tendance has been about 80 per cent of the entire force of the company. Capt. L. S. Bowler is the mar at the hend of the company, and much credit is due his skil and military ability for the hizh position which the boys iuve attained. The formal opening of the new armory on Jackson street, now fast approaching completion, will be an occusion when' the different companies will have a chance 10 show what their sesson of camping and constant drill bas done for them. The frends of the regi- ment will not be disappointed, even though ex- pectation runs very high, Compuny G, First Regiment, 1. S. G., i at pres- cat camping out at Lake View, and having a grand time, THR SECOND REGIMENT. The Board of Oflicers of ‘the Second Regiment held a meeting Iast night at the armory in the Ex- position Building, and_completed arrangements for the picnic_which fo to take place Tuesday at Woodlawn. Tae exercises of the day will consist of the uenal picnic sports, a game of base-bll be- tween nines from dilferent companies, exhibition drills tn which the Sheridan Guurds of Milwaukee will take purt, and a sham battle in which_ there will be plenty of fire, smoke, and running, but no ghastly wounds. A general good time is expect- ©d, and & large attendance 18 desired. The mem- bers of the regiment have been ordercd to report at the armory Tuesday morning st 7 o'clock in full dress, MIKE WEAVER. SOME GUOD WORK. Detective Jay M. Scott yesterdny made the most important eapture that bas been made fu this city for years in placing behind the bars at Cen- tral Station the notorious Michael Weaver, whom the police have all along sus- pected of committing threc-fourths ~ of all the large house-breaking jobe that have been reported. 1t °is mposaible to compute tne depth of thie fellow's iniguity, and the fact that fully £10,000 worth of his plunder is now at the Central Station conveys also onty a slizht idea of the mag- nitude of the business he has carried on, for e wae dostructive sud meited down everything that could be melted, and ~ was continuously getting md _ of large quantities of plunder. The details of this last piece of Scott's lucky work are plain and easily told. Busincss brought bim west on a adison strect carat noon. He walked south on Aberdeen street. and, near the corner of Jackson, saw & man going west on the south side of the street, whom _he &t ouce suspected of - being Mike Weaver, he hovine secen him once under arrest at the West Madison-Strect Station, He had been - worried about Weaver for severnl days, as he was sure from the descriptione In his possészion that he was the one whohad perpetrated several recent burzlaries in the West Division. The idea thot the man before him was Weaver came directly into his thoughts at that very moment. They et at the corner. Scott accusted him civilly, and inquired if ne re- sided in the neighborhood. **Do you know of any one by the name of Wiil- iame avout here?” inquircd the dotectivo. ++On, yes,* £aid the stranger; **they live in the d house below there” Warm day, 1en't it, and he mopped his face and started to pass on, : The detective hailed him; and, ashe returned, he Mguired of bim: ‘I3 ‘not your name Mike Weaver?” and 80 saying ho fiashed his detectivo’s star, told hum who he was, and placed him under arrest. , sir; my name is Thompson," remon- strated ' the prisoner in & blastering manner. ‘Thompson was the alias he gave when last arrest- ed, and Scott knew at once he had hisman. llence be told him to come along: that he was wanted badly at Police Headquartery, and that he ‘was now positive that he was Mike Weaver. The prisoner implored, ** T have a brother-in- 1aw just across the strect, and you may satisfy yourself that I am not. the man by inquiring there. The officer went with him to No. 348 West Jack- son street. He walked n withont ringing or knocking. and went_straight to the Kitchen where a woman was at work, and said to her, ‘‘Here is 4 man who thinks Tam Mike Weaver. You know who 1 am: tell him.” “*Hold on, not so fast,” said Scott, you will please tell me this man's nam ““Why, Smith," said she; and & THE GAME WAS UP, ‘for the man bad already said his name was Thomp- son. Weaver then jumped for the back door, and the woman threw herself in the oflicer's way. After a determined little scuflle Scott tovk his man to the West Madison Street Station und lockea him up. Tie returned at once 10 the house, and reached there just time to sce the woman Icave_the house and go Weet. e shadowed her to No. 152 Hoyne street, and soon afterwards saw the woman and another one leave. He suspected at once that they had gone to notify r. Trude, Weaver's luwyer, Som¢ moments afterwards he rang the door- bell of the honse, and was answered by # handsome little girl, some relative of Weaver, who chirped out that ** Auntic had gone down to uncle’s house, and that uncle hud fallen and burt himself seve . _The little one did not wish to let Scott and Bonfleld, who had accompanied him, cnter, asshe was alone, and the folks had strictly enjoined her to let no one in. Scott sait: ** That is all right, my darling; mamma hes made up her mind tomove, and we Liave come here to pack up for her. She will be home presently.” The two entered, and began rammaging about the house. And what they found fairly astonished them. The house was Iiterally crammed with goods of all de scriptions, and all of them, doubtless, stolen. The drawers of bureaus and dressing-cascs were filled with #ilk dresses and other articles of weering_ apparel, - camel-bair shawls, Paisley shawls, laces, table and bed linens, lace mantles, silk bandkerchiefs, jewelry of ail descriptions save the cheap and tawdry, a vaiuable pearl set, silverware bearing numerons marks and device: valuable German tlute, recognized as belonging to aresident fn the North Division, ladies™ meck- chans without cud, purlor ornaments, and everything used by a houscholder. Trunks were filled with similar material NOT THE LEAST INTERESTING FEATURRS of -the discoveries. were a set of burulars’ tools, numerous pick-locks and jimmies, and skeleton *Madam keys, Also a lot of crucibls, two chunks of sil- ver weighing threc and ' half pounds, and a chunk of gold weighing ' severa] ounces, all of which bad been melted in the éracibles. The Little girl was questioned as to the use. of these cructvles, and inuocently cnough replied that hér uncle teed them nenrly every day in meiting down nico things which ho first hummered up. Then he put_the nice things intoa crucible and put both into the kitchen stove. She was seldum allowed to witoess him, but she knew thathe melted a 1ot because she ‘saw the chunks afterwards. Among the articies found n this honse the police readily identified about $500 worth as belonging w J. L. Clatk, of No. 57 Park av- cnue.” To wont to Lake Superior July 19, and the mext day the homse was burgiar- ized of ~abont $500 worth, _including two magnificent silk dreeses and a_quantity of jewelry. The neighbors noticed during that day 3 man with two large boxes snd several other heavy packages ringing at the front-door bell. Recciving noreply, he went away. This man was none other than Weaver, who had . but ust plandered the house. Ife rang the door- cll ~ for . a “‘stall™ 8o that none of the neighborpwould suspect his actual business in that vicinity. ! The description tailics exactly, and onc of the stoley_dresses was found in the original package in Weaver's house. It was nearly midnight before the property reached Central Sta- tion, and s0 buiky was_ the plunder that’ absolntely nothing conld be done ot that late hour foward sifting it ont, or making an inventory. As the detectives ran it looscly over they professed to pick ont several articles that will prove Weaver's counection with other burwlarics. For instance, therc are nearly thirty silk dresses, and as’'many shawls, matles, and cloaks, all of which have been stolen, and may casily be 1dentifed by the owners. Winle at Weaver's honae the_ detectives learnea something of his 5 PAMILY AFFAIRS, Thé womanat No. 346 Jackson street ia a sister to Mrs. Weaver, and is married to an eqally notorions burgiar, named Frank Jordan, who works with Weaver in nearly all his undertakings. The oflicers hastened to the Jackson street honse, and procecded to ransack it us thor- oughly ns they did the former house. They found nearly ss large an assortment of goods; men's clothing with the maker's names cut off, napkin rings, drceses. etc. Thore were alot of watch- WOrks, bat no cases, all having been used, and some emoty jewelry cases. Some idea of the magni-ude of the haul nay be_gleaned from the fact taat the goods at Central Station fill five of the lnrzest- 81zed Saratogs tranks, six lurge moroeco satchels, and 0s many large paste-board boxes. Weaver, the thief, isnotat all a prepossessing fellow a3 he appears in the Central Station, He is o brother of the mnotorions Dick Weaver, who was nrrested overa year 20 Dy the Madison street police, und was shot whiie attempting to cscape. He dind several days later m the County Hospital. At this time also a lurge amonnt of property wsa recovered. Mike Weaver ‘has been arrested various times within the past ten years, and in nearly every case has been allowed to escape. So far as known he never did u day’s time. Mr. Trude was always hin lawyer, and the favorite mode of effecting his relegse waa by straw-bunds. He was canght some four years agoina job in the Cottage Grove dis- trict that would | have sent nim to__the Penitenuary, but he gave bonds in $300, worthless, | Of course, and jumped, Thre: years ago he was arrested by Ofiicers Smith and 'Connor for the burzlary of Dr. Ezan's residence on Van Buren street. Straw-bail in $700 was again given. Weaver must bave been frequently arrest- ed both before and after this, but the police record in connection with his name is very imperfect. The nexi actoally heard of him was on the I1ith of May last. A burglar was caught in the bungling act of forcing entrance to a Lincoin avenue residence by the use of ahatchetIn the broad dayligntof u Sunday afternoon. The unexpected returnof o servant girl_and the pluckv chase viven the burglar by the neighbors sncceeded in lodging him m jail_ \hile lying there under the alias of Thompson, he was recognized. Some davs later Trude, by his chicanery and sharp practice, sgain let Weaver loose on the public. By o trick he imposed on Justice Kaufmann the wortl bond of Charles C. Scoullar. the professional vondsman, now in jall for perjury. The next day Mr. Trude coolly told the Judge that Weaver was ill, and could not attend trial. The worthless hond was forfelted, and Weaver was secn no more. It was lurdly expected that he would remain in town, there being eo many indictments against_him, and now he is canzht, the public will sce wnetner or not the authorities are capable of controlling a first-class slippery villian, and of sending him to the penitentlary for £ll the years he deserves. THE GAMBLERS. i A SUCCESSFUL FORAY. A squad of Central Station detectives, headed by Detective Londergan, who was formerly on the ++gpecial detail,” and in ths position learned all thac could possibly be learned mbont gaming- houses and the crookedness prevalent in the busi- ness centre of tho city, yesterday made things lively for the <sambling dens. The day before **Cy” James and thirteen inmates were taken out of No. 5 Calhoun-place, and a large quantity of tools were conflacated. Yesterduy af- ternoon & visit wes made to the gambling rooms aver McDonald's store, on Clark street. It may hiave been that they wera warned, and it may not. At any mte Tno gume Cwss in pros tess and no tools in sioht. Kight men werc foand lounging about in the room, and were taken to Central Station. where they were bovked us inmates of o gambiine den. A ninth man proved to be A. S. Lumey. alias *Tripp, " o confidence and three-cardoperator. e was book- ed for vagrancy. The police are evident- ly determiued to drive this man beyond the city limits. He has been ‘*vagdea’ nearly as often as Ed Byrne, and Just night. after giving bail, he was run in by the Weet Division po- Iice on a similur charge. Later in the afternoon the squad visited Hankins' alleged club-rou1as at No. 164 Madizon streer. In Rvom 13 four g2mblers, headed by the well-known John Lawler, were found, and under a bed were found scveral etacks of chips, a faro lay-ont, sume cards, and two case-keepers, In the evening Licut. Blettner and a few police- men from the West Madison Street. Station swooped down upon a den, #afd to be only 2 poker- room, at No. 36 West Madison street, and suc- cecded in capturing C. A.
