NIPPED IN THE BUD. A Scheme to Swindle the Race Pool Sellers in This City Falls Through. ‘THE WESTERN UNION WIRES TO THE POOL Rooms TAPPED BY A NEW YORK GANG—THE WOULD-BE SWINDLERS ARRESTED, BUT RELEASED ON THEIR PROMISE TO LEAVE TRE CITY. A party of New Yorkers, who thought they were going to make a big stake out of the pool sellers here by tapping the Western Union wires leading tothe pool rooms near 7th and | Boundary streets, came here a few days ago, but yesterday the intended swindle was nipped j inthe bud. More than a week ago telegraph officials in New York notified the Washington office of the intended wire-tapring. A patrol of linemen was detailed to watch the wires connecting Monte Carlo withthe main office of the telegraph company, and Wednesday morn- ing Lineman Newman discovered that THE WIRY. HAD BEEN rarrep and connected with house No. 1141 7th streot. ‘The work of tapping the wire and inserting tho “loop” was a clever job. Chief Operator Bender and his assistant, Mr Bugbee, were notified of the result of the tinemon’s investi- gation, and yesterday afternoon Detective Raff, with several policemen from tha second pre- cinct, went to house No, 1141 7th street and found that the wire was run into the room on the second floor of the house. ‘The officers surrounded the premises and made the attack from the front and rear, THREE MEN AND A WOMAN ARRESTED. Some of the persons interested in the mat- ter were in the room and they came down stairs to seo what the officers wanted, and they soon learned. There were three menand a woman and they were all arrested. ‘They gave their namesas William Johnson, William Wade, Frank Edmunds and Mary Rayson, There were two or three other persons interested but they were not captured. The back ruom onthe second floor of the house mentioned was searched and in it were found five tele- graph instruments, fifty-four battery jars and everything that goes to make up an operating roout. Had the tappers got their work under way without detection the bookmakers would have suffered, TOW 1T 18 DONE. Tho manner in which such schemes are worked is this: The messages are received into the room of the tappers and cannot get any further. When the names of the winners are learned the message is withheld long enough to give a confederate time enough to reach the ~ Ca, D. C. A LIGHTED CIGAR DID IT. It Started a Firo Which Might Have Been a Serious One. A fire which threatened the destrnetion of e| Crizvetax’s Superior Baxtxa Pownen,| s6-pieco Denortan Tenet a large amount of valuable property was discov- cred in Emmert & Heisley’s building, No. 425 12th street northwest, abot 6 o'clock this morning. The peculiar manner in which the fire started and progressed rendered its discov- ory almost impossible for several hours, and it was not until some shavings in the carpenter shop on the second floor mado a bright blaze that the discovery was made. On the third floor of the building is a hall occupied by Co- lumbia Typographical Union as an office, In the hall are several wooden spittoons that were filled with sawdust, Last night some one threw a lighted cigar into one of these recep- tacles, After the sawdust slowly burned through the floor caught fire. Instead of the flames spreading to the sides and rooting they ate a hole through the floor and dropped enough sparks into the carpenter shop to ig- nite the avings and make a bright blaze. Engine company No. 2 was then called out, and the water thrown into the carpenter shop ran through the floor and ceiling into F. Hollan- der’s liquor store, on the first foor, and dam- aged the stock slightly. A Wife’s Suit for Divorce. Mary Taylor Hayward has, by Messrs. Cole & Cole, filed a bill against Edward Graham Hay- ward for adivorce and an injunction to restrain defendant from interfering with her ani her two children, whose custody she asks and for alimony. They were married in February, 1879, at Raleigh, N.C., have two children and she charges him with drunkenness and cruel treatment of her; with having frequently as- sauited hor, and she states that on account of bis irunkenness he is in danger of being dis- charged from his place inthe Treasury De- partment. This morning Judge Cox in the Equity Court made an order enjoining the de- fendant from molesting or interfering with the complainaut and the children, a Election of Officers. John A. Logan Command, No, 2, Department of the Potomac, Union Veterans’ Union, last evening elected ofticers for the ensuing year as follows: Colone!, Wm. Irving; lieutenant colonel, 8 W.

Darker; officer of the guard, Nicholas McGowen; trustee, John R. McConnell, rooms of the bookmakers and stake a good sum of money on the winner. Then the result is sent through to the bookmakers and the money is received on the winner. The wire tappers do not pretend to “beat” every race, but select such as pay good money. Edmunds aud Wade, it is alleged, were the operators and Johuson is the man who did the tapping. He was to get $125 for his work and the operators were to get $25 per day anda percentage of the profits, ALLOWED TO GO OX A PROMISE TO LEAVE THE erry, ‘The four persons arrested wero taken to the Police Court this morning and charged with being suspicious persons, Their counsel, Mr. C. Maurice Smith, plead guilty for them and said that his clients were going to leave the city. Judge Milfer explained the charge to them and one of them said he would leave on the first train for New York, The others said they would also go and with that understand- ing’their personal bonds were accepted. Mr. Smith was given an order on the property clerk forthe return of the property, inciading the woman's trunk, which also containcd telegraph instruments, See In Memory of John Boyle O'Reilly. The late Johu Boyle O’Reiliy was eulogized last night at a meeting held iu Carrol Hall by —— EMIN PASHA ON THE WARPATH. He Raises the German Flag and Seizes Ivory and Cattle From Africaus. Emin Pasha, who said that he was marching into Africa as an adventurer, is evidently doing some fighting for Germany. At Tabora be raised the German flag and seized quantity of guns, ivory and cattle from the natives, who had received him in a hostile manner. Herr Vohsen, for several years German consul at Zanzibar, declares that it is impossible that the German East Africa Company issued the alleged slavery proclamation, because the mar- tial law only allows the imperial commissionor toact. Inanycase he could not believe tho slavery story, because such action as is ascribed to the company would be utterly at variance with its principles, +oo-——~___- The President Takes a Long Walk. Tho President yesterday morning, after a9 o'clock breakfast, started off for a long tramp with his niece to a little mountain village below Cresson. The day was fine and the atmosphere exhilarating and the President returned fecl- ing much invigorated. In the afternoon he, with Mrs. Harrison and Miss Sanger, drove the Carrol. Institute. A large number of the famous poet's friends and admirers were pres- ent. President D. i. Murphy of the institute made the opening address, in which he spoke of tho virtues and geniue of the doud poet, whose name and tame are dear to the whole Catholic world. The speaker referred to the poet's early life; how he suffered in the penal colony of Australia and with what Christian fortitude he bore up under influences which were enongh to drive the sunshine from his life forever. Following Mr. Murphy came Capt. Patrick Farrell, Maj. Edmond Mallet, E. A. Mosley and M. L Weller, who also spoke in an admiring way of the dead poet. Maj Richard Gulahan’s poem. “Welcome, John Buyie O'Reilly,” was read by Capt. O'Meagher Condon, Resolutions were passed expressing admira- tion for the ability, gratitu-te tor the services, and resject for the memory of the distin- guished author and able advocate and champion. of religious and political liberty. M. L Weller, Ed. J. Hannan and N. T. Tay- lor were appointed a committee to co-operate with the Boston committee in the erection of a fitting monument to his memory. “Senator Hodgby of Vigsville.”” “Senator Hodgby of Vigsvillo” was the name and residence given by a man who was ar- rested last night by Policeman O'Rourke and lucked up on a charge of vagrancy. “Icame here to get on the police force,” added the prisoner. The unfortunate man is evidently demented and from what he said it is inferred that he is from Langley, Va. He is apparentl: y-five years old and was attired in a heavy suit of clothes and an old straw hat. He appeared in the dock of the Police Court this morning and Judge Miller asked him if he was really a Senator. “Tam,” he replied, “Where are you from?” inquired the court. The man made some indistinct reply. All that he could tell about his home was that it was about 11 miles from here. and when asked if it was Langley he replied that it was, “What is your name?” asked the court, “Hodgby,” replied the accused, «What is your first name?” “Hodge. R. V. E. for.” “What is your brother's name?” “Mike and Pat?” Judge Miller thought that the man’s mind was aifected and ordered his commitment until his friends can be notified. ——— —- The Byrnes-Ricks Homicide. In the case of the old soldier, James Byrnes, committed to jail last week for killing thoold colored man Ricks, near the Freedmen's Hos- pital, Mr. Albert Sellers has been retained for the defense. It is understood that the defense will be that Byrnes had been on a prolonged spree and was in no condition of mind to form a delibernte intent to murder; and further.that at the time he fired the fatal stot he had rea- son to believe thut some of the colored people were following him to assault and rob him. To Be Cremated. The body of Dr. Elihu Horsford, who died Wednesday at 1101 G strect, was taken over to Baltimore today by Mr. R. W. Barker, the un- dertaker, for cremation at the crematory in Loudon Park. Theson and stepson of the de- ceased went with the corpse to witness the pro- \ cess, which was in accordance with the wishes Of the deceased. who was a uxtive of Vermont. about seventy-three years old, and had resided here for about tour years, most of that time being engaged in the Turkish bath business, He died from heart failure. — Ended Her Life With Morphine. Irene Baden, otherwise known as Hope Jones, died yesterday afterugom at her parents’ resi- dence, 1422 New Jersey avenue, from an over- dose of morphine taken the night before at Dollie Taylor's house on C near 18th street northwest. ‘The deceased had lived on Mary- lund avenue next 4!y street and in some of the houses below the avenue.
