THE DAILY EVENING TK I KG It A P 1 1 PHILADELPHIA, TUKSDAT, FEIMIUAUY 1, 1870. 5 n o. fighting the Tiger Where and How it it Done The Animal' under a Cloud, and His Keepers Discouraged. Tho gamMlng; fraternity of this city- (or the past four days hay boon in a wtldstato of excite ment nt uncertainty, occasioned bythoarrest, on Thursday last, of a number of policy doalers by thonpeclal officer of. District Attorney Gib bons. Since that time the proprietors of all the faro banks la the city have been in a demoral ized state, each one apprehending that bis Insti tution was to bo the next point of attack; that tho nofarlous operations of robbery and out lawry wero to be stopped; and that just deserts were to bo tncted ont by an cfllclcnt and deter mined District Attorney. On Friday evenlnj last every faro bank in the city, with tho execp tioa of that at No. 1035 Chesnut street, was closed, an event which has not occurred, we regret to say, since the official torm of ex-District Attorney Reed. On that day The Squire, who was absent at llarrlsburg lobbying through the new AMormanic bill, was telegraphed to and was made acquainted with the state of affairs in town. Upon the receipt of tho in formation be immediately repnlrdd to the city, and arrived here at some tlmo daring the even ing of Friday. The action of tho District Attor ney had been so sudden and unexpected that h was undetermined how to act or advise, but, at his snggestionn all houses in town, with th i exception above named, and perhaps No. 13) South Ninth street, were closed for the night. The proprietors, cappers, hangers-on, and patrons could be seen in large numbers in groups of from flvo to ten persons on the corners and in tho vicinity of Ninth and (Jhosnut streets, canvassing over the unexpected state of affairs and expressing their opinions freely and loudly in regard to the actual or unnecessary causo of alarm. One Individual connected with a game at No. 1207 Chesnut street at this juncture came np and said, in reply to a question: "Peto, are you opon to-night?" "No," returns Pete, "and I ain't a going to open. I have just seen the (Squire, and he says keep closed, and I tell you he knows pretty well." Another says, "I wish every d d faro bank in the country was closed years ago." Another responds, "Bo do 1 Another says, "I don't believe there is a d d bit of occasion for alarm, and I don't believe Gibbons will disturb a single- faro bauk in town When asked by a gentleman at a private party why he did not suppress gambling, he said: "He did not know whore to commence, in Third or in Chesnut street;" aud 60 tho conversation was kept up among tho fraternity and habitues of the gambling houses in that vicinity until a late, or rather an early, hour in tho morning. Ilowever, tho foar and apprehension was but for a day, for on Saturday evening they were all id full blast, only they wero not quite so bold ns heretofore. Access to their holla was more dim cult than usual: their pickets or doorkeepers were stationed at the outer door, and none but well-known persons were allowed to enter. It may b well here to remark that the well-known brace or skin-houses, Nos. 903 and "39 Chesnut street wero not open as usual. The number and frequency of tho outrages perpetrated in these houses, with a knowledge of their guilt, was no doubt tho occasion of their being closed for a few days until tho present ex citement dies out, and then they can go on as usual with their system of knavery and robbory, with their horde of cappers lounging constantly night and day around the corners of Ninth aud Chesnut streets, socking among the guests of the Continental and Girard llouto fresh victims to rope into their hells of Iniquity and rob of every dollar and thing of value they may possess. We propose now BhowlDg up the various Fnro Hank In Philadelphia, where located, their character, aud by whom conducted. Why these houses are not Indicted, and their proprietors sent to Cherry Hill, is a matter of 1 conjecture only. If tho same official persever 1 ance and determination were pursued in those ns in tho cases of some poor, poverty-stricken devils who steal a pittance to keep body aud soul together, every oho of these diamond bespangled and gaudily attired faro bank pro prietors would be keeping company within prison walls with many of their victims whose ruin has been the result of some dishonest act - to obtain money to gamble with, in tho blind infatuation that they might get back that which they have lest. To return to the more immedi ate object of this article, we will now give a list )f the gambling houses of Philadelphia, com uonolng with The IIrn.ce or Mkln Faro Hunks. To the uninformed or uninitiated we will say tlat tho term brace or skin is applied to houses where the robbing game only is usod, where it is impossible to win, and where the dealer can take your money if he chooses, no matter in which way you may wager the samo. The box and carls are manufactured for the purpose, and the dealer can draw one or two cards at his will, always knowing the winning and losing cards. Should your money be placed upon a winning card, as tho cards may lay in the box at tho time V your bet is made, the dealer draws two cards instead of one, which reverses the statu of every card in the box, and thus makes you lose your money, when you would have won had the cards remained as they were. So ho can do this tlroughout the deal until the pack is exhausted. Tils kind of a game requires what is called cap ping to deal it successfully, that is to say, assistants, to give tho game an appearance of regularity aud honesty. You will seldom find on tie table in these houses more than one or two cio papers, or cards upon which a record of the cards is kept as they come out of the box, These are la the bands of the cap pers, who, understanding the modus operandi, inake ttio?i tally with the number of cards in the deck, and thas leave no ground for any sus- nlMon of fraud. Then again, a box is used called a cue-board, similar to a Chinese slate, having round wooden buttons, representing on the board the thirteen cards of the different de nominations, four buttons on each side repre- I sentlne the number of that denomination ol carts in the pack. As each card is drawn from the 'jox, the cue-keeper shoves up a button to correspond. He is also capping the game, and wheil two cards are drawn necessary to win your bet, the card not exposed and drawn from thebax is made known to the cue-keepor by the dealer through a dexterous and uuderstood movenent of the fingers of the loft band, and he slid ui a button on the cue-board to cor respond, thus covering np to the uninitiated all appearances of fraud. These games have their cappors and Btool ilinns -nnBtantly on the cornor of Ninth and Chesnut ttruets. ready to pick up any one ver Uant enoir;u to allow them to get into conver sation With them. Tke tapper, if successful In roping yon Into the faro hell, gets as his share oie-half tho moaey yon have lost, less ten per cent., which is paid to tho card and cue keepers, the dealer and roper-in sharing equally. It is safe to say that nine out of every tea met sc en lounging dally and nightly around tho cor ners of Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh and Chesnut streets are gamblers and cappers for faro banks. Without exaggeration, there are In this city flvo hundred able-bodied men that do not do a day's work from ono end of the year to the other, and who llvo and exist upon what they rob people of in and around gambling houses. Wo do not believe that skin faro banks are so dangerous in their rosults as so-called square games, for a person seldom gets trapped a second time li the samo skin game, and as he never wins ho becomes disgusted; whereas, wken be goes into a gamo where faro is dealt on the square, and ho wlus a few dollars, he U in fatuated with It, and believes ho can beat it, and the result in nincty-nlne casos out of a hundred Is ruin and suffering to himself and everybody connected with him. Thare aro in this city at prcHent only two houses conducted as brace houses, although thcro is no house that will not and docs not at certain tlmos and under certain circumstances take advantage of players, and especially if they aro uninformed and ignorant of what can bo done. Tho principal skiu-faro bank is located at ' ' No. 0. C'beanut Htrret, and is conducted and managed by a short, fat, round-faced chap by tho name of Samuel Wil son, although other parties conducting what Is mid to be a square gamo in South Fourth street are interested with him. Tho entrance to this house is just above Ninth street. Wilson formerly kept No. 909 Chesnut stroot, but was arrested upon several occasions (never tried or convicted), and was compelled to seek other quarters. From that placo he removed to his present location, where those desirous of seeing the tiger and experiencing his unrelenting em braco can do so. It would take tap too much spaco to go into tho details of the means em ployed, the perseverance, Ingenuity, and devices usod to entrap victims into those gambling hells. Another brace house is located at No. ffitt t:henat Hirer, and Is conducted by Charles Kalgn and Joseph n older. Those men were arrestod and arraigned before Alderman Kerr at the Central Station, a short time ago, for robbing a Californlan of his diamonds and watch and chain: they were hold for aurtfwr hearing. When that further hear ing took placo we have been nnablo to ascortaln, but we understand the valuables wore returned, and the witness or complainant was induced to leave. It seems almost an impossibility to pro secute this class of men, for their influence, or rather that of their proloclors, is all potent, and Justice lifts the folds from her eyes and looks down, in the balances and sees which scale demand's from, her the most consideration. It invariably falls on that side containing tho most money or political influence. Other Gambling nouses. The following are the other gambling houses iu the city where the game of faro is dealt: No. 1!.'0 S. Ninth street and No. 49 8. Ninth street. Charles Jackson, John Wells, and Buck Johnson, proprietors. No. 143 S. Fourth street, known as the Malta Game; John Lewis, Charles , alias Garrison, John Walters, proprietors. Frank Moran is here the loading spirit, or at least was a short time ngo. No. 1035 Chesnut street. This game is dealt by a mnn called Budoy Williams, and is known as the Thieves' Game, the bank money being made up by the contributions of knucks making their headquarters in tho vicinity of Eleventh and Sancom streets. No. I!i07 Chesnut street, over Gorman's drink ing establishment, This Is a new gamo, and is conducted by Jacob Michner, Peter Grim, and Kobcrt Supploe. Another, on Arch street, above Ninth, is con ducted by a man by the name of Wonderly, in connection with others, and is patronized by a class of buslnoss men who would be very much chagrined to have their names paraded as being arretted at a descent of the policeon a gambling house. In Harmony place, at the corner of Hudson alley, there has been a game opened recently nnd conducted by Charles Kalgu and William Icktl. BcMdes tho above gambliug-houses thoro are several others known as Nonp'llouiirs, where any one can go and put up a certain amount of money and win with or lose it, and pay the proprietor for the privilege, if ho wins, ten per cent. There is one of those houses in the vicinity of Ridge avenue and Coates street, where the game of faro is dealt every night and ull day Sunday. Tho principal ono is known as The Allfv Hansford Place, just above lourth street. This house is con ducted nnd owned by a boy, Theodore Lawrence, about twenty years of age, and son of an cx dctective officer. This house is tho very sluk of iniquity, fetid with corruption. Its patrons aro mostly poor worklngmen, not ablo to lose their money. It brings more misery upon wives and children than perhaps all the other houses put together. This house Is also the resort or idling-place during the day for the cappers of bkin-gumes and petty thieves. The game is conducted in a dingy, dirty room on the second floor. It is the daily scene of fights, squabbles, profanity, and obscenity, and has become a crying nuisance to the neighborhood. There is uo sink of corruption in tho Fivo Points, New York, to equal this den in RanBiord place. You can see there daily some poor woman inquiring if her husband were there, and begging for him to be sent home. The keepers of these houses may thrive aud exist clothed in fine llnon, sporting the inoi-t brilliant diamonds, drinking the finest wines, and gormandizing on the bent dinners, while the wives and children of their victims are cold, naked, and hungry, crylug for bread. In the name of civilization, of humanity, and Chris tianity, how long will these things be allowed to exist In our midst ? How long will the people sub mit to it ? Hero in Philadelphia, the cradle of our national existence, with religious and humane influences surrounding us on every side, let the people rise np in tholr majesty aud crush this hydra-huaded evil, mors disastrous than all the riiui in the land.
