would be placed while playing. There
it terminates in a spring and a hammer
concealed by the carpet.
The method of working this inven'
ton for robbing by machinery seems
to have been as follows The victim
to be operated upon finds two chairs
drawn up to the table. In n of these
the gambling thief himself sits, placing
his foot over the telegraphic hammer
The victim is obliged to take the 9th
er one, which is placed in the proper
position for playing. The gamblers
accomplicc in the DOR above stretches
himself on a mattrass, with his eye at
the peep hole, and n hand grasping
the Geographic handle. The hole is
so placed that he a look directly
! down into the hand of his victim. As
Z, soon as he sees the cards he te~legraphs
their description accordidg to an ar
ranged code of signals, by pulling the
handle, when the hammer strikes the
desired number of raps on the sole OF
the gamblers boot or slipper, the sound
being mufied by the carpet. Ofcourse
it is easy to see that the man who sits
down to play with.such a gambler If
robbed as surely, completely and sys.
tematically as lf he had been bound
hand and foot and delivered over to a
highwayman and of the two robbers
the highwayman would be the most de-
cent man.
These rooms have been occupied al
various times by Conlisk, Major Bar
ter and other gamblers, residents and
non>residents of this city. Some hsgh>
~ respected citizens wh0m re cOatl0
name have visited these rooms, and
have undoubtedly "fougnt the tiger
without a shadow Of a chance against
its teeth and claws.
There are other rooms in the city
used for gambling purposes, which are
frequented by some of our best citi'
zens-who would dread to zee then
names published, and whose names, il
published, would startle and shock
their friends and the public. Are there
no "telegraphs,' in those rooms?
There is a law in Ohio against gam,
blers and gambling. After such a dis
closure as this the public have a right
to demand and win demand, that the
law be put into force with a rigid I'M
partiallty. The breaking up OF a bant
of negro gamblers will not satisfy the
public or1lhe public sentiment. The
rooms where our business men, conf.
Dental employees, and the men whc
hold the money belonging to our brave
soldiers, are Systematically robbed un
der the pretence of playing games OF
"chanee," must be suppressed, and the
robber-gamblers arrested and deal
with to the utmost extent of the law.

From TIM CLEVELAND Herald.
The Cook gambling affair has led
to SOM important disclosures in the
affairs Of the sporting fraternity "but
nothing that we have yet seen or
heard of equals in interest a discovery
made in this city yesterday.
Conllsk, one of the men concerned
in the fleeing" the paymaster Cook,
was a frequent visitor to this city, and
occupied rooms in the third story OF
the Parsons block, on superior street,
He had contracted debts here and yes.
terday an attachment was issued
against the property in his rooms
Sheriff Lewis and DeputySheriff Whit

in the course of their researches made
Some rich discoveries.
TIE rooms occupied by Conlisk on
the third floor consists of a sittingroom
where the gambling was done, and a
bed 70 M. The sitting room was fur>
nlsl"d Il the usual manner and had
a faro table near the window, aud a
draw poker table in the centre of the
room, with chairs placed at each. The
walls and ceiling OF the Dom are pa
pered with a star pattern.
Directly over these rooms are two
small rooms also occupied by Conlisk,
but not furnished. A portion of the
flooring has been removed in the room
imme lately over the gambling room,
and a small hole bored through the
ceiling of the room below, above each
Of the tables. AS the holes come di-
rectly through the centre of star pat~
tern in the paper, they are scarcely
distinguishable from below. Each hole
is 50 placed as to enable a person APP
plying his eye to it, to look directly
into the hand of the player seated in
the chair below.
An ingenious Geographic signal ma.
chine was discovered, communicating
between these holes in the room above
and the chair of the gambler in the
room below. A wire, having a ham

EB- We have made the above REDUCTION IN Phi.
CES with the two fold view OF beneitting the public and
ourselves. The public have been swlndied by spurious
machines made in imitation of ours. The metal IN them
from the iron casting to the smallest piece, Is oil poor
ouaIIty. Their makers have not the means to do their
work well. They are hid away iu secret places, where
il would be impossible to have at their command, the
PROPER mechanical appliances. 1t is only by doing q
great business, und having extensive manufacturing es-
tablishmt hts, that good machines can be made at mod
crate prices. The best designed machines, BADLY
MADE, are always liable to get out OF order, and are
sure 70 cost considerable tro"ble and Money TO keep
them in repair.
The qualities to be looked for IN a Machine are; GER
tainty of correct action at all rates Of speed, simplicity
Of construction, great durability, and rapidity of opera
ton, with the least labor. Machines to combine these
essential qualities, must be made of the 6eSt metal ana
finished to perfection. We have the ways and means,
on a grand scale to do this.
The purchasers of machines, whose daily bread 1t may
concern, will find that those having the above qualities
not only work well at rdpG0 as well as SI0to rates oil
speed, but last long in the finest possible working order.
Our Machines, as mdde by as, Will earn more money
with less labor than any others whether in imitation oil
ours or not. In fact, they are cheaper than any other
machines as a gift.

- The annual conference of the

lately in session at Portland, adopted the
following resolution:
"That the demorahzing influences of
slavery upon community wherever it ex-
lists, and its incompatibility with the prin-
ciples of Christianity, republican institu-
tons, and the peace and prosperity of the
country, have been clearly and forcibly
demonstrated by this rebellion and we
hail with profound satisfaction the
emancipation proclamation of the Presi-
dent of the United States, not only as one
of the most hopeful agencies for the sup
