Mr. S., thinking he had made a good
speculation, repaired to a broker to real

learned that he had paid forty dollars

thus interrupt the game. Unfortunately,
her aim being somewhat defective, she
missed the board and landed the iron
cudgel, with a hearty thwack, across the
hand of one of the players, who played
no more, but raved with the pain of sev

precipitately from the presence of the

his actions. Four ,cif the guardians of

Appearance. 2lr. Matthew McDonald is
President of the club, and has the repu

stand that the membership of the club is
limited to twelve. It is the design, we
believe, to keep the organization alive

A Bank.Broken—Successful Raid on a
4 . Faro Bank tt—lftie , Proprietors in
costoay—A,Well Managed Affair.
A decisive and highly successful:raid
on one of the most notorious gambling
houses in the: vicinity was, made yester
day afternoon by the Allegheny police
resulting in the capture of the proprie
-tors, together With the greater part of
the appurtenances of the establishment.
The information which led to the move
ments of the officers of the law, was
given by Mr. Thompson W. Smith, a res
ident of Allegheny, who appeared before
Mayor Drum about noon yesterday and
preferred charges against James and
John McKee, "William Deihl, Robert
Campbell and Samuel Shore for main
taining d gambling house in the shape of a
"faro" bank in Pittsburgh. Chief of Po
' lice Bowden,.accompanied by officers
Mcßoberts, cott and Graham, immedi
ately proceededlo the place designated, a
room in the third *nor* above the "Del
mOnico Saloon," Smithfield street, near
Third avenue.- - ITpon.. arriving at the'
place,__ they pulled the bell, which
brought one of the proprietors to the
door but who immediately slammed it
to again 1113:_oon as he perceived the offi
cers. NOt to be beaten in this way, how
ever, Chief Bowden gave the door a pow
erful kick. which broke it off the hinges ,
and allowed them to enter. The affair
was so quickly managed that those inside,
had not time to secrete the gambling ap
pliances before the officers had seized
upon the most of them, and the pro-;
prietors; whom they singled out froM
among a roomfull of others. One of the
visitors in the room at the 'Rine seized
upon a !lumber of checks, representing
in gambling Operations about 5300, which
he pocketed and made off with, while
the others were being arrested. Later
in the afternoon this individual boasted
that he intended to make the "bank"
men redeem thesticheeks, or go thrOugh
another prosecution. Another visitor
1 secured the money drawer and disap
'seared, but as the, game\ had just been
\opened, it contained but very little
money. The room which was about
eighteen feet square, contained thirty or
forty men, some of whom are well known
in society and business circles hereabouts,
though not generally in the capacity of
gamblers. The officers having their
hands full with the proprietors and; a
quantity of the bank property, allowed
these men to withdraw, which they
did with considerable trepidation.
Tho prisoners and the plunder were
brought to the Allegheny Mayor's offide,
where John McKee and Shore gave beil
in the sum of $2,000 each for their ap
pearance at Court. The other three gave
bail each in a auxillar amount for a hear
ing to-morrow afternoon at one o'clock.
They were quite fierce at first in threat
enings against their betrayer, as they
styled the prosecutor, but finally cooled
down and maintained a dogged silence
in relation to the affair. The prosecutor
states that the bank has been in opera
tion'at the location named for about two
months, but it had been carried on in
other quarters of the city for several
years, and the proprietors are said to
have become wealthy from the profits.
The raid throughout was an exceedingly'
well managed affair, and reflects crledit
on the boldness and tact of Chief Bowden
and his assistants.

by the teachers and pupils of the' Birm

gentleman. We are glad to see such
manifestations of respect and attach
ment. It shows a happy relationship
and sympathy between teachers and
pupils, and in the present instance, at
least, was most worthily bestowed and,
thankfully received. The just claims
upon communities for respect and social
consideration of men like Pref.-Jones,
whose life work is to train the heads and
hearts of our children: are not suffi

more worthy of public Or private grate

Destructive Pire=ralass Works Dirstrryed
i . —Estimated Loss 1115,000.
1 This morning about one o'clock, a fire
Broke ant in the glass works of Messrs.
.A:dhmeiic Powell.. located at Soho, and in
. .
lesss thin an hour the building was„ in
ruins. The fire originated in the space
,between the office and packing room,
and spread with such rapidity as to
,defy all efforts to extinguish it. The
works were in operation at the time, but
not iu full force, only six men being em
i ployed. It is supposed that the confla
!gration was the work of an incendiary,
as no fire had been previously in_the vi
cinity of the place which the flames were
first noticed. The firm succeeded in
saving their books, but lost everything
else. The building was of frame,
one story high, and filled with a large
stock, consisting principally ,of lamp
chimneys, in the manufacture of which
the firm was extensively engaged. The
estimated loss is fifteen thousand dollars,
on which there is an insurance of
seven thousand dollars, mostly, we
believe, iii Eastern Companies. An
alarm of tire vv..s sounded from box
76, corner of Bra ly street and Pennsyl
vania avenue, to which the. Duquesne,
Relief and Neptune engines responded.
There were a number of frame buildings
in close proximity to the burning
works but,by tile energetic ex
ertions of the firemen they were saved.

tend our grateful thanks to Captain Rob
inson, of the Neptune Engine Company,
for his gentlemanly courtesy in provid
