The two women who were arrested in the rald were arraigned in the Court of Special Sessions to-day and held for trial 4a $1,000 bail each. Mrs. Clark’s black eyes snapped with enthvsiasm as she told to an Bvening World reporter the experiences of beard- ing the lion in his den, or, rather, the @harks in their pool-room. “Iam not aspiring to become the head of a female detective brigade, but when ‘I receive orders from my captain I be- eve in doing the best I can,” sald the ‘matron. “When Capt, Gorman got a tip that ‘there was a handbook being run at No. %&4 West Eighth street, he tried to get @vidence through the wardmen, but it was plainly a woman's job to mix in the {Goings at the saloon, 60 he proposed the \god to me. i She Knows About Horses.

Mrs. Annfe Simmons, the sup- posed proprietor of the place, who was @ressed most elaborately in red, soon tmade it apparent that there was betting going on. She would wander among ‘the drinkers and collect the money, fwhich she turned over to the book- @aker. I asked her what odds could be had on Tammany Chief In the third wace. She smilingly told me and took my bet.
