DESCENT ON A GAMBLING HOUSE. “Fatty” Walsh’s Old Place Again Broken Up—A Polander Taken In by the Skin Game—Lodgings at Police Headquar- ters. On the 22d instant a man called at Police Head- quarters and asked to see the Inspector of Police. He was shown into Inspector Dilks’ room, and stated to that gentleman that on the evening of the 19th instant as he was going down Broadway he met a well dressed young man, who appeared to have nothing particular to do, and asked him the way to Canal street. Instead of answering his question the young man began talking to him on other subjects, and after a short conversation asked him if he would not like TO GO AND TAKE A DRINK. Having had a few drinks during the evening the stranger consented, and the young man suggested that they play a game of cards for the drinks. The stranger, who gave his name as A, Zakozewski, agreed to this, and the young man took him to the well known gambling house at 602 Broadway, formerly kept by Fatty Walsh, but now run by a notorious person known as. “Long Mike.”” On reaching the door of this den the young man told the stranger to ring the bell and he would IN FLAMES. Borning of a Portion of the United States Appraiser’s Warehouse. THREE ALARMS SENT OVER THE WIRES. a An Emeute in the Vicinity of Tenements. Energetic Actiongof the Firemen—The Damage Done—a $575,000 Supper for the Flames-—-Washed Cut by the Engines, About ten o’clock last night smoke was discove ered issuing from the third floor of the Appraiser's warehouse, rented by R. P. Getty & Sons, 119 Greenwich street, in the rear of Trinity church. Assoon as the first alarm was sounded the fire- engines and hook and ladder companies came quickly to the spot, but by that time, brief a3 Lt was, the flames had gained such ascendancy as to cause a panic among the residents of the tenement houses in the vicinity 01 Thomas street, who flung their furniture recklessly into the sloppy street and carried out their semi-somnulent chil- dren in a state of nudity, The hoses were scarcely screwed on to the hydrants ere the flames jutied from out the windows of the building, the crimson Jets licking up with FORKED AND LURID TONGUES everything consumable that came within their reach. The building was formally intended for a pork-packihg estabilshment, but nad been con verted into a storage Warehouse {or bonded goods. There were costly silks, curiosities irom far-oif climes, merchandise, valuable and dutiable, stored upon those floors; but the democratic fire, which was no respector of costly imports, seemed to take @ savage delight in wrecking and consuming everything that came across its path. Sergeant Ferris, who 1s at present acting captain of the T'wenty-seventh precinct, was promptly on hand. Lines were drawn and the predatory popu- lace were thereby deterred trom gleaning Irom a field they had not sown, As the lurid flames leaped out of the windows cool jets of water sparkled in the midnight air, scattering with their force and their spray the Name-encumbered beams, until a myriad sparks soared skyward, telling the waking world of a disaster dire and dreadtul, THE SECOND ALARM rang out and a third followed, when it became ap- parent that the engines on the ground were inade- quate to the situation, unable to repel the furious advance of the fiery God, It was a pretty and a cooling spectacle an 3 the night to see the silvery streams flowing high in air over the burn- ing building or dashing in a wave of spray and foam against the seething skies of the red-hot edifice. The populace cared not for pud- dies, they were excited, anxious, Those who had families in the tenement houses on Trinity ground, near at hand, thought of their Lares and Penates, and though knowing their olive branches were safe, trembled lest some petty piece of biouterie, some love gilt or some little token of affection, chertshed since childhood, should fail a prey to the gteedy flames. Strenuously and manfully did THB BRAVE FIREMEN work, until the lurid glare o! the flames grew dark and dense, and great clonds of suiphury smoke rolled skyward. ‘the fallen rafters and floors, the gutted upper stories of the stately ple were but little considered, yet a prayer of thankiuiness went up from every heart that no lives haa been lost and that the poor people who live in the vicin- ity of the conflagration were not sufferers. At five minutes past ten o'clock the first signal was sounded, and this brought five engines and two ladder trucks to the scene of the disaster. Aiter a few minutes vigorous pufing and squirting of water the engineer decided the fire to be out, and a message sent to the Central OMce from the 3 anys wages precinct station house 80 stated. the first alarm being sounded, the worthy Sergeant at the station house informed the battalion of reporters at Police Head- quarters that the fire was ou an upper floor of No. 129 Greenwich street, bul said nothing about the building being the United States Appraiser’s ware- house, Some twenty or twenty-five minutes later @ second alarm Was soundel, recalling the engines and trucks which had responded to THE FIRST SIGNAL, together with four engines and two trucks from the Sixth district—that is, above Canal street. After the lapse of fifteen minutes more a third alarm Was given, and to this three engines and one hook and ladder truck responded, making the to- tal force on the ground twelve engines and five tracks. ,Tne whole of this force should have been called out the moment it was known tne be in immediately after him. The~unsus- pecting Polander did so, and was ushered into the room where a game was apparently in progress. He looked on at the game lor some time, expecting to see bis new-made friend make his appearance. After a short time he was asked by a couple of the men in the room if he would not like to play, and, alter a little persua- sion, thought that ne would risk a little on the game while waiting for the young man. He did 80, and wun at first. He was then advised by some of the men standing around to DOUBLE THE STAKES, and did so. He playea there until he had staked and lost $315 in money, his gold watch and chain, and two gold lockets valued at about $260 more. Aiter lozing all he way intormed that they were going to close up the place for tue night, und was hurried into the street. He then made his way to his boarding house at No. 51 Frankfort street an went to ved. Next morning he was relating to some of his friends his experiences of the night previous, and they told him that he was swindled out of nis money, and advised him to go to the same place and ask them to return his money, and it they did not to report the place to the police authorities. Zakozewski went to 602 Broadway and asked the dealer to return his money, or he would report the place. Another man, known as the * Doctor,” stepped up and said that he was one of the proprietors. This man and the dealer held a long consultation, and thea told him that Gara would not return him any of the money he hi lost, as it Was won fairly from him. Zakozewski vhen leit the place and called at Police Headquar- ters, as above stated, Inspector Diiks asked the complainant if he could identliy any o( the persons who were concerned in the game, and on his answering in the affirmative the iormer told him that he would see what he could do jor him, ‘the inspector then sent tor De- tectives Tully and Dilks, of the Central Office, and placed the case in their hands, instructing them to go with Mr. Zakozewski and get out a warrant for the arrest of these parties. They went beiore Jus- tice Fowier, who issued a warrant for the ARREST OF ALL PERSONS found in the place and placed it in the hands of the officers. The detectives watched the piace for the past few nights, and, seeing the same persons poling in and out every night, conciuded that ali nds belonged there, Yesterday morning they in- formed the Inspector that they would be ready to make a descent last pignt, and he instructed Cap- tain Williams, of the Eighth precinct, to send four officers with them to make the arrest and seizure. About ten o'clock last night Vetective Tully, in company with an officer in citizen’s clothes, went and rapped at the door leading to the “gambling hell.” ‘the knock was answered by a colored man. Tully asked to see “Long Mike." That worthy soon le his appearance and the officer tola him that he wished to get in. “Long Mike” asked if it was all right, and on being answered in the affirmative, opened the door and admitted them. Tully immediately walked to the other end of the room and ted the officer at the window 80 that they could not escape by the Crosby street side, and at this time Dilks, with three other officers, entered the front door. The gamblers saw that WERE TRAPPED, THEY and submitied with a good grace, The officers ar- rested five men who Were in the room and took them to Police Headquarters, They then went back and secured the lay-out, dealing box, checks, cards, &c., Which were also taken to Police Head- quarters, while an oficer was left in charge of the tables, &c., Which were too large to carry oif. The prisoners gave their names as Michael Meany, alias “Long Mike," James Walker, alias the “Doctor,” James Brady, Ed. Lioyd, alias Ed. Law- rence, and George Moore. The complainant iden- tified Meany and Walker. It was found that the box used by these worthies was the kind usu: used in what is called a “skin game.’’ The prisoners were locked Bp in one of the ceils, and wiil be taken to Police leadquarters to-da: 4 BATOH OF MARYLAND MURDERERS, BALTIMORE, July 30, 1873, In the Circuit Court for Washington county at Hagerstown to-day Joseph Davis was sentenced to death for the murder of Abraham Lynn in Carroll county in April, 1872, This case has veen tried once in Carroll county, once in Washington county and been twice through the Court ‘OC AD- peals.

Owing to the impossi- bility of amy one to get inside the burning portion of the buiiding, no definite iaea of the Joss could, last night, be arrived at, bub the general impression auiong the engineers and in- surance men was that $500,000 on goods and $75,000 on tue building would not be iar out of the way.

Rushing into their rooms they soon rid them of their contents, secant in- deed were these. and likely hereaiter to be more stinted ; for those who willingly aided to remove the goods were scarcely careful, in their extreme anxieiy to save from fire, to prt vhe furniture and other articies where they would be saie from the farm of water, Rushing hastily out, they deposited their burdens in tle street, where the puddies and mud were all enve! pe ol Here, aiier their efforts to preserve their effects from destruction, came the owners to SIT AMONG THELR RUINS. and each, like an unphilosophical Marius, to be- moan his losses. ‘There was a study for some im- mature Doré with tue force of realism in lus pencil!

From this statement Coi- onel Low drew the erroneous conclusion that jhurman Was Dot at heart opposed to the Conven- tion of to-day. The truth is, that the Senator always considered this moment as A GREAT MISTAKE, and, while he would have been giad to see all the elements of oppesitien to the administration con- soildated, he uas not believed and does not belleve that a dispersion Oi the democratie party ts either necessary Or advisable. in view Of the proceedings of the Convention to- day the democrats say that there is but one course left for them to pursue; that the August Conven- tion will nominate a democratic ticket and make a more vigorous ight than the party has made for many years.

Lyncasune, Va., July 30, 1873, Since the assembling of the republican clans yesterday there has been the strongest indication of & hotly contested figat between the opposing Hughes and McMahon factions. The strength of the latter continued to develop until this morning, about ten o'clock, the hour tor the meeting of a caucas; and this, coupled with tue arrival here by the morning train of General William % Wickham, Vice President of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail- road, it was thought would bring on a battle royal. The caucus had barely met, however, when the startling announcement was made that, by the tn- structions of Mr. McMahon himself, his name would be withdrawn, and the nomination of Colone! R. W. Hughes would be made unanimous, ‘This was done in direct opposition ty tue strongest support- ers of M’MAHON, WHO, BESIDES BEING AN IRISHMAN, IS A CATHOLIC of the greatest popularity, and was considered the most available candidate the party had in its ranks, The victory was then loudly talked of as an ad- ministration success, and perhaps a triumph over the machinations of the various railroad kings who are struggling so hard to obtain control of the State. About six o’clock in the afternoon matters as- Sumed quite another shape, the McMahon faction charging that their opponents had broken faith with them, and they again renewed the battle. Having succeeded in the election of General Wici ham as temporary chairman, who had the appoint- ment of the committees, a point was gained and a fight was made over the permanent presidentship, resulting in a victory for the Hughes faction, and the battle was almost won, SEVERAL STORMY SCENES occurred by eflorts of the McMahon faction to delay the proceedings, but it signally failed. The action of the Convention has effectually choked off all lurther overtures from the Wise-Mosby-Lyons tac- tion and other recalcitrant democrats. A deiegate on his way here met the redoubtable Mospy on the cars, and asked him if he was going to the Cenven- tion. Mosby contemptuously said he was not. The delegate then said, “Will you support its nomi- nee’ which Mosby indignantly answered by say- ing, “I would rather be accused of burglary than ol Voting for the Bominee of the Lynchburg Von- vention.” This will scarcely be palatable to the administration, nor does it Smack much of Cxesar- ism, That faction will now be active supporters of the democratic ticket to be nominated at Rich- mond on the 6th proximo, THE PROCEEDINGS, ‘The entire morning was occupied by two secret sessions, which at length decided upon the tempo- rary On raninae ion ef the body by the electibn of General Wiliam ©, Wickham as temporary chair- man. Atthree P. M, the Convenuon was called to order at Holcombe Hall, after an in- divcriminate scramble of the delegates and audience through the windows and doors 5 iu & most undignified and unvecoming manner. The Chairman tuen brieily thanked the body for the honor conferred upon him, after which ne | appointed committees on credentials and perma- nent organization. The committees retired and a recess o/ fifteen minutes was taken. During this time Mr. L, H. Chandier, of Washington, made a very brilliant and effective speech, in which he twittea the democratic members of the press present for thetr true republicanism in the Walker pallpaign and their liberalism io the Presidential campaign. He advocated the building of THB JAMES RIVER AND KANAWHA CANAL by the national government, which met with the most tumultuous applause and showed that the masses and the negroes are as deeply interested in this improvement as are the politic! at He re- minded his hearaea that had neat one it phen: courage as n that they never ha aR aN Me thanked God, they were not fighting to win Virginia, but to regain her. Tne Committee on Permanent Organization then re- ported the name of Congressman James B. Sener, of Spottsylvania, for permancut President and nive Vice Presidents, among whom was the name ef Congressman John Ambler Smith, of Richmond, te was A SPEOK OF WAR, | for Congressman Platt arose aid offered the name of R. G, L. Paige, a negro, as a substitute for per- manent President. Congressman Smith arose to ® point of order, and stated that as the Committee on Credentials had not yet reported Mr. Platt’s substitute was not in order, The Chair decided the point well taken, and proceedings were again suspended, The Committee on Credentials being unable to complete their report until eight ee M., & twas about half-past eight when the Convention reas- sembled, and the report of the Committee on Ure- dentials was read and finally adopted. The report of the Committee on Organization then came up Mr. J. B. Sener withdrew tn favor of R. G. L. Paige, of Norfolk, and the report was amended in this particular. The report was hen adopted as a wnole, and Mr. Paige, a sharp, rith little mulatto, was conducted to the stand as permanent Presidgns of the Convention. A STORMY SCENE ensued on the question of adopting a platform before making the nominations. The McMahon faction demanding that course with a view to gain time, the Hughes faction iusisting on an im- inediate nomination for a candidate for Governor. This contest grew hotter and hotter each moment, Congressman Platt and smith being the leading champions of the respective factions. The utmost disorder and tumuit prevaiied. Smith made a hot and very abie speech, demanding fair play, and stating he had already submitted to too maby outr: ‘Thia was revorted to by one of the Hughes leaders in a spirit as bitter. The questiou being on the calling of the yegs aud nays as to whether the nomination of a candidate was in order, tt was decided by the Uhair it was, and then began the uproar, which the constant sledge- pel rapping of the Chairman's gavel failed to drown. COLONKL HUGHES NOMINATED. Order being finally restored, Major K. H. Carter, of Fauquier county, said to be a nepliew of General Lee, in & handsome speech nominated Colonel Kobert W. Hughes, whose name was received with the wildest cheers. Generai Wickham, who is alsu connected by wurriage wita the Lee family, then arose, and made @ short and exceedingly stir- | ring appeal in favor of the harmony and unity of the party. Me said now came tne Magi point | of the republican organization snd that a mistep to-day would sound its death knell, A | man of availability should be selected and not one | | | who would arouse all the animosity of the opposi- tion, but politics, He = kuew risen to one who, being little koown could command a powertul such @ man, one ® high position by exertion, aud who had unilimitved infuence over the toreign vote of the State. Such a an was Edward, McMahon, Tne name was | only teebly cheered, The opposition was over- | slaughed, and notwithstanding the many objec- tionable speeches and shilts to make deiays THE RESULT WAS INBVITABLE. The hour of twelve, midnight, was reached, and yet no nomination, nearly every one of tne Mc- in vote. who had his own | Manon faction speaking im ijavor of their canpidate and urging their objections to Hughes. It was evi- dent the tactics of the McMahoubites was to kill time, and, by prolonged speechmaking, to defeat the nomination to-night. several times the Con- vention became so disorderly that A GENERAL HAND TU BAND CONFLICT was imminent, but at length a call of the roll was | reached. General Wickham then witudrew the | hawe of McMahon, and Hughes, upon motion of Major Harman, of Augusta, was nominated by acclamation, A committee was then bags to wait upon Colonel kK. W. Hughes and inform him of his nomination, and after a brief absence that gentieman appeared upon the stand, which was the signal for the wildest applause, tossing of hats, &c. He thanked them for the dintinguished honor did him, and, after begging to be excused, prom- | ised to address them upon the issues of the day to-morrow morning. ‘The Convention, after appointing a Committce on Piatiorm and Resolutions, went into the nomi- nation of a Lieutenant Governor at one A.

Joseph Austin, residing in Hamilton, Canada, was found at the corner of Fifty-seventh street and Eleventh avenue yesterday, overcome with the heat, and taken to the Ninety-ninth street Recep- tuon Hospital.

Arrest of Several Members of the Society-= Three of the Girls Rescued—A Touching Appeal to the Authorities—Char- acteristic Correspondence. SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, 1878." The authorities to-day discovered positive evie dence of the existence in this city of @ secret Chi- nese society named Hip Yee Tong, formed for the Purpose of the prosecution of a traffic in Chinese women to be sold into lives of prostitution. Seven members were arrested; but the society consists of 350, and the officers are searching for the others. ‘The following are the circumstances leading to the discovery :— Several weeks since the Chief of Police received & letuer from three Chinese girls, which, translated, read as follows :— A PITIFUL LETTER. This letter ts written at our wish, We aré three poor girls, kept by an old man, Ah Can, and an old woman, Ah Die, as slaves to make money for them by prostituting our bodies, Unless we make so much nightly we are whipped and tortured, We would like to lead more houorable lives. Will the authorities of this city aid us. ad victims to escape this disgraceful life * We willbe grateiul. ‘The girls could not be foand. A tew days later one ofthem (Ah Sing) escaped and fled to the City Hall for protection. She was sent to Rev, Dr. Gib- son’s Chinese Mission school, and was there mar- ried to Yat Lung. A few nights since Yat Lung TAKEN BEFORE THE HIP YER TONG Society and there told that he must, under the penalty of death, pay the keeper of the brothel from which Ah Sing escaped $350—the price of the girl. Yat Lung returned to the Mission and claimed there that he is afraid to go into the street. Yesterday he received from Hon, Lien Po, & member of the Society, the following CHARACTERISTIC, THREATENING LETTER. Yat LUNG:— D¥Aw SIR—INTIMATE FRIEND—I write nothin, that is not important. A few days since I desires with you to seek some business satisfactory to the heart. Now Ihear you lead the police to arrest Hon, Chan Ah Yee on a complaint of forcing girls to a life of prostitution, This is no small matter, L fear Hon. Chan will have no place to stand, sol tell you for great mercy. You ted to the schos What you mean by this Ldo not kuow. Some sa} to hide for a short time from the tcarfal power of the Hip Yee Tong Society. 1 think not, for we are men understanding virt Why do you allow this matter to inclose you like a net? Pay Hon.

In the rooms of the Hip Yee Tong Society the police found large rolls containing the names of women sold, amount paid for each and amount owed by customers. It ts thought other similar societies exist, Every effort will be made to break them up, THE HEATHEN HOLDING BACK. Only 270 Chinese came by the last steamer. The falling off in the number is significant, as showing the effect of the despatches sent by the six com- panies to China warning their countrymen nat to come. WEATHER BEPOBT.
