character until he was Informed by the police.
Capt. Dinchet of the Attn ward had heard what
was on foot, and repaired to the hal with q
section of men in citizens dress, about an hour
after the dancing commenced. The party were
then in full blast-thieves rugged out in fancy
garb, and the female portion of the company
in short dresses with spangled skirts, &c. Ca
ret Ditchet, on entering, was met by notori-
Gus thief apparently the master of ceremonies,
who had the impudenc4 to ask him if he did
not want partner. the Captain grabbed
the rascal, and this was signal ior general
grab by all the officers. This was a surprise
anything but agreeable to the remainder OF the
company, who scampered in all directions to
escape the police. Some of them hid in the
buidi G, others jumped out of the windows
and o number escaped from the premises by
lowering themselves on shed in the rear. The
police could have secured the entire company
bit they only wished to arrest such parties as
they knew to be notorious thieves, and took
nine of them into custody.
