palaces, or. as they should properly be termed, boils,

Men who are just commencing tnn practice wnieh

Vain hone of retrieving some former loss, and per

one more stake, Intending to apply the winnings to
the covering of a forgery ever staring them in the
A few nights ago, an Individual, whose name wo shall
represent as ( , entered one of these faro banks or
tiger's dens No. 2 Chcsnut street, and after re
maining therein Borne little time, found that he was
minus a set of dlamend studs, a gold watch and
chain, and considerable cash, the whole amounting
to between I'JOO and a f lotto. Not being willing, like
many other dupes before him, to lick his wounds and
Buffer on, he repaired to the Central 1'ollre Station
on Tuesday, and there reported his loss. Yesterday,
when the regular police triuls at the Central Station
bad ended, three well-known parties were seen to
enter the ofllco, and after a short confab with cer
tain parties, one of them, It. Lister Smith, ap
proached Alderman Kerr, and, with a few hurried
whispers, the whole airalr was settled, and the party
arrested allowed to go nnd again pursue his
nefarious work. The party named signed the bull
bond, though for what amount we could not ascer
tain, as It is the bminrmi of our olllclals to screen and
eover over all such coses, for our public must learn,
If they have not, that these men these gamblers
are entitled to Immunities and privileges which
wnnlrt tm nnd are of ten denied to our best citizens.
Thns the case was settled for the time being, and
that means forever, for conviction for gambling, or
jwtn trial therefor. In OMr courts is as great a rarity
as snow In the tropics. The victim lias seen t he last
of his cash nnd valuables, nnd h has felt tho painful
incisive wounds produced by the velvet-footed
animal. If he be a sensible man he will go to work,
with the earnest resolve to retrieve ins loss in legist
mate business nursults. and vow at the B imo Unit
never even to approach within Right, if possible, of
the animal's lair, whilst our magistrate whose deal
ings are but synonymous for ji'd'.v, and wuost!
efforts are always directed tntcardn )nininhinr,the criiiii
naU, will pursue the even tenor of his way, ferrlinj
in kin heart that ho has nobly, ultlioiujli with a
taeriftce, performed his duty i
An Impkovkment in Stkkkts Tlie attention of
property holders on Hansom street has recently been
directed to nie uiivmu.iiKeM in.-it win uuiwuu uum n
united eil'ort on their nurt to have the street paved
from its commencement at Sixth 8 reet to tlm
Schuylkill with a patent pavement. There Is a great
need of such an enterprise, as any carriage owj.-fp
can testify, and It will advance the valuepf -property
lor tmsmess purposes in iy ugiii nevond doutit.
This has been the experi;',1,.. tn Mercer street, New
York, which is geQ?aplilcully located In a similar
port of that city, -ft, is further proposed to cut a car
riage way acrtftg independence Squuro and thus give
a communication wiih Library street, widen Harmony
court, artrl thus open the street from the Schuylkill
to the Delaware at a very tnllng expense, and wlih
fltly increasing value to tho property. Locust
' street and Filbert st reet could also lie treated In a
similar manner at but little expense, and the pro
perty that la now occupied for the basest of uses
would enhance In value for business purposes. These
streets are tho oniv avenuea of nny importance run
ning east and west that have not hern occupied with
passenger railways, and It ts not probnblo that there
will be enough business to uuthorl.e our legislatives
CafBars to seize the franchises of railways on them.
The cnttlng through of Independence Houaro would
perhaps excite some opposition among the patriot
who delight to see it in lis present dilapidated con
dition, and annoy the bootbla.'ks who diversify their
little games of pitch nnd toss on the steps and
surroundings of that ornament to the architecture
of our city, known as the New Court House, with
an occasional rough and tumble light on the sacred
spot supposed to be where tho Declaration of Inde
pendence was Urst given to the light or the world,
but which In reality, up to the commencement or tlie
E resent century, was occupied by a row of dwelling
ouses facinc on W alnut street. This will all be
clearly shown In the next twenty years, when
Westcott'H History of Philadelphia shall reach this
period of the history of Hie city.

The Wl ayer-f Nnptlpi Atfcer Bishop's
Pnashter Weddoit.
The ever active little archer, fnpld, has of late
been practising his feats of skill with rapidity and
precision. The noise and bustle created In religious
circles by the marriage of a daughter of Bishop
Hlmpsonnas scarce died away before we are called
npon to record the joining of two other hearts In
matrimonial tin. For weeks past the talk amongst
our fashlonablds has been the approaching marriage
of a daughter of Bishop Stevens, and yesterday the
airalr came off. KU Stephen's l'rotestant Episcopal
( burch was the place selected for the performance
of the matrimonial ceremonies. Tho church was
tilled to overflowing with an elegantly dressed com
pany, many of whom were from Boston, Baltimore,
and New ork. The largest portion, however, were
residents of this city.
The names of tho happy pair were Rev. TJenry C.
Mayer, of Brooklyn, N. 1 ., and Nina, daughter of
Kight Kev. William Bacon Stevens.
The nuptials wero snnuunced to tako placo at
twelve o'clock, noon. 1nig before that time those
who had been favored with handsomely-engraved
cards of Invitation bnd arrived nnd taken up tuo
scats on the entire iloor anil galleries.
i nc nruiai company was prompt m attendance, and
their entreo was announced bv a burst of eliborate
music on tho organ, presided over by Prof. 1). Wood.
Miie ormai party was preceded liy ushers. Then
came the groomsmen and bridesmaids, as follows:
A. Jdorey, of Boston: I. Meyer, of Baltimore, Al
gernon Morion, of Philadelphia; William Stevens,

lie Dime was arrayed in a toilette or exquisite
beauty. It was of white satin, wltn a long train, and
nn overskirt of the samo material, cut away In front
and cut up at tlie sides and on the back, overall
was a rich laeo veil hanging to the waist. Her hair
was handsomely trimmed and decorated with orange
flowers.
The bridesmaids wore white organdie, with white
over:-kli'ts ol tulle, with Pompadour waists. The
ceremony was performed by tlie Kev. Dr. Kutter,
pastor of St. Stephen's cimtcii, assisted by the
Kev. William Stevens Perry, rector of Hie Trinity
Episcopal Church, of Ueneva, New York.
Tlie bride entered the church supported by her
father, who gsve her oway. As the brl'lal party
retired the music of Mendelssohn's f:nnous sodding
march lined tlie church, and the chimes in the tow
nmied fortli nierrllv.
Tlie company was driven to the bouse of the
bride's father. No. K:i3 Spruce street, where a reeep
tUm took place, IssMng from half-past twelve o'clock
till two In the afternoon. After partaking of a
bounteous repast, at four o'clock the happy pair left

Uuite a number of elegant and costlv gifts were re.
celved by Mr. and Mrs. Mayer. Among them was a
solid silver service, the gift of the step-father of the
groom.
DARING 110RBERY.
A Woinnn (Jnaged and Shorn.
Aflout 7X o'clock last evening two Individuals, at
present unknown, entered the residence of Thomas
Adams, on Koulkrod street, 1'Vankford, and robbed
It of one hundred dollars In cash. Mr. Adams is the
engineer of tlie )ccatur Steam l ire Kiigine, of
Kruiikford, mid at the time was absent attending to
his duties. There wen? in the botire Mrs. Adams,
her mother (a bedridden Invalid), and a couple of
children who were uleeu in tneir cot up stair. uu
of tlie scoundrels cilected nn entrance through tho
cellar, uscended to the kliehen, opened the back
door, and admitted his comrade. The two th-m pro.
ceeded into another room, where they nu t Mrs.
Adams, whnm they bound uud gagafed. They next
visited Mrs. Adams mother, mil, seeing that sue
was helpless, paid no further attention lo her. They
then turned to the sleeping children, whom they
molested no lurtuer man ny placing a heavy cane
over the breast of one of tliein. The supposition Is
that in case T.ne child, ivinen was me eldest one, au.l
n boy, should have made any outcry, tlie cluo would
have been used to main mm.
Having completed a'l their preparations they then
ransacked the house from top to bottom, tearing up
carpels, ripping open bed ticks, smashing me rur
nllure, and emptying druwers, in one of which tlb'y
lounii me lino in casii. , . .
This having been gone through,,f;hi tfiey de
scended to Hie room in wlijc);-tiiey bad left Mrs.
Adams, bringing wit;j t,-,om a revolver, the property
of her liustiandoyhicii they had found up stairs, This
one of tliofi! Presented at her. whilst the other seized
j pa-jrof shears, and clipped oil' almost all of her front
i hair; after which they laid the revolver on the table,
put out tlie iiguts, uuiioiind ami uugaggcu Airs.
Adams, and left.
Tlie rascals previons to their entering tlie house
had taken the precaution to black their faces, in
order to prevent recognition. Perhaps tlie most no
ticeable leaturc of the whole uil'alr is, that this
makes the ninth one of utmost bimilur asouuiU upon
Mrs. Adams.

A Fleet of Iron-clada Ordered to New

tion of Slavery Reserved for

FROM WASJIIJVQTOJI.
Iron-rlndn Ordered to New York Harbor.
JJfxWal Dtspatch tn The Kvtning Telturaph,
Washington, Nov. sr. The Government, having
learned that a Spanish fleet of some rour or live ves
sels Is about to pay a visit to the harbor of New
York, Is at a loss to know what object can bring
them there at this particular time. It Is given out
by tho Spanish Minister that the proposed visit Is a
friendly one, but It appears tho Government Is not
altogether satisfied on this point, and accordingly
several iron-cluds have been ordered to proceed to
New York at once.
Among them aro tho Mlantonnmah and Terror,
together with a torpedo boat, which is to be sent
rrom the Navy Yard here. This torpedo boat alone,
It Is estimated by Admiral Torter, would be able to
look after the Spanish fleet, but It Is thought best to
have a lew Hrst-class Iron-cluds on hand. It Is sup
posed that tho real object of tho visit of this licet is
to overawe the Government ami get the Spanish
gunboats out of port. Whatever It may bo, the Gov
ernment is ready to meet it.
Ways nnd MeandiConiiiiltteo.
The W ays and Means Committee 1b expected to
meet here to-morrow. They have already aocirau
lated considerable data relative to Internal revenue
and t a rill bills, and, It Is said, at the meeting the bill
revling the tariff will be submitted by Judge
Kelley, and some changes suggested.

body of any proposition or resolution contemplating

The entire ipiestion of slavery is, in lact, according
