rss~ The people residing in the vici-
nifty of East Grand and William streets
were startled one evening during the
week by the cry of Stop Thief p and
yesterday we learned the particulars. :
A young man, who has been employed
by certain dealer in fresh bread and
pies, not long ago pulloined a,sum of
money from his employer. On the eve
ming in question couple of officers of
the law tracked the youth to the abode
of his ''sweet Amanda Jane" in East
Grand street, where he was pouring
the sweet strains of love into her will
ling ear" On the appearance of the
officers, the young man muttered some
thing about " the course of true love
never did run smooth, and in a second
of time fled across two or three gardens
and over an eight foot fence, into Will
liam street, and has not since been seen.

gea. The shelves are being put up in
the rooms to be occupied by the Young
Mems Christian Association, in the Ar
cade to receive the library. The great
object for the removal to these rooms
is, the probability that the rooms may
be visited by more of the young men
during the evening. How much bet
ter place, young man, to spend social
and instructive evening than visiting,
and spending precious time i'll saloon
and places of amusement.

MAGNIFICENT METEOR. THE EEMayor
Of Turtle Run" who occasionally keeps
late hours-the only thing which he
can safely keep-informs us that as he
was going home on Thursday evening,
he saw magnificent meteor, which
rose from directly over the oil cloth
factory, and passed in north-easterly
direction, apparently descending at
"KeTy Head" He says that during its
brief passage, the city was Illuminated
as ii by fire, and it would have been
easy to read by its light. The head was
composed of different colors, and the
long tail was of rich crimson hue
So. vivid was its light, that his eyes We're
almost blinded He was at first alarm
ed, and afterwards delighted at the
spectacle.
From all accounts it must have been
wonderful sight, and will long be re-
membered by those who were so fortu-
nate as to witness it, especially by our
friend the worthy "Mayor of Turtle
Run"

GREAT EXCITEMENT ON BROAD STREET.
AT 8 minutes after 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon while the tradesmen and
merchants and our Reporter were ta-
king things philosophically, a dull,
rumbiing, monotonous sound was
heard, followed by tremendous crash,
which shook7 be earth for yards around
and which for one minute and sixty
one.seconds cauAed people to hold their
breath Our Reporter seized his hat,
and with his characteristic dash was
one of the first to reach the spot, where
he found ashes, dust and mortar flying
through the air-the few persons who
had already assembled holding up their
hands in great alright, and wondering
how many laborers had been engulfed
in the ruin. Horses passed the spot ia
haste, glad to escape, while CANNES Of
every size and color, with their caudle
appendages hanging pendant, ran furi-
ously in all directions, adding to the
general excitement as well as 'distrust.
A survey of the scene, revealed to
our reporter, an astonishing demolition
with the debris scattered promiscuously
around. Although the reverberation
was as grand as it was awful, and as
dangerous as it proved to be miracu-
lous, yet with all this. we could not
learn that anybody was injured. When
we left the spot, workmen were busily
engaged in removing the debris from
the sidewalk, and in repairing the
board fence which had been demolish-
ed by the catastrophe. No other paper
has the news

CAPE MAY AND THE MILITARY. The
military of our State, and States adj
jacent, have determined to make Cape
May and not Cuba, their objective
point this summer. In addition to
the military already announced as hav-
ing selected quarters there, we under
stand the National Guard of New Jersey
is to be added. The Cape will present,
in this respect, a campus ma'3ius where
the elite of the assembled nation can
witness the evolutions of the holiday
veterans. The presence of the military
will disturb the monotony of seaside
life and add largely to the number of
visitors. Trenton Gazette.

From the Washington Star.
Gambling Machinery.
SINGULAR DISCOVERY u WASHINGTON
CITY.


The building No. Ala Pennsylvania
avenue, occupied for some as the Con.
gress Clothing store" Is now being pulled
down to make room for extensive improve
ments. In taking down some of the par
titions to remove gas-pipe, daylight wa:
let in upon some secret wires, which,
being traced, were found TO extend
through the rooms of the whole upper
portion of the building, and, with other
apparatus, forming one of the most re-
markable pieces of machinery for gamb-
ling swindling ever exposed to view.
This machinery, as now laid bare,
shows that immense care and labor were
bestowed upon its invention and prepara-
ton. The gambling rooms were in the
second-story front Over them were two
garret rooms with dormer windows. In
the flooring of these upper rooms a trap
door had been cut about six feet in length
and three in width. The trap being tax
en- up shows an aperture between the
floor and the ceiling of the room below OF
a size to accommodate the gamblers con-
federate; and series of small perfora-
tions in the ceiling afforded him full
view of the cards held by the players at
the table in the room below. By his
side was the end of thin wire, which
passing along under the flooring of the
attic to the walls, ran down to the floor
ing of the room below (playing upon nice
ly adjusted pulleys at the angles,) and so
on until it reached point directly under
the card-table Here very ingenious
pedal arrangement came into play by
which, with springs of spiral wire, a tri-
angular piece of iron was made to work
up through a minute aperture In the
floor under the foot of the swindling gam
bier.
The victim in this operation, it will be
seen, had no show whatever. Green, the
reformed gambler" has shown the sys-
tenn of cheating by marked scards, but
that was clumsy and inefficient mode of
ascertaining what the opposite player has
in his hand, compared with this sys-
tenn of telegraphy, which, by the way,
can claim priority in time over MOore's s
invention. This system would not be Of
much use to the faro sharper, but must
have been fatally effective in the gamb-
ling games of twenty or thirty years ago.
In following the course of the wires it

been placed in every point where the
working of the apparatus would possibly
make a noise calculated to warn the vic
tim The operator of the machinery was
as silent as death, and not an indicator
appeared anywhere to give him suspicion
Of the network of villiany in which he was
entrapped. The punctrres in the ceiling
which gave a view of the cards to the
confederate overhead, were screened from
view by an ornamental oval of green
figured papering, and the aperture in the
floor under the card table, through which
the spring played, was concealed by the

it is wisdom it is prudencei it is common
sense TO provide against such contingencies,
by taking an AETIDoTE IN ADVANCE; in other
words, by fortifying the system with HOSTEL
TER s STOMACH BITTERS-the most COM

demic maladies that has ever been admins
tered in any country. As remedy for pys-
pepsia, there is no medicine that viii compare
with it, Who ever suffers the pangs of indi-
gestion, anywhere on the face Of the earth
where H0STETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS
can be procured, does so voluntarily; for, as
surely as truth exists, this invaluable TOXIC

who have tried the medicine will never use

LET YOUR WIFE KNOW YOUR CIR
CUMsTANCEs.-It is a custom too COM
mon with the men of the world to keep
their families in utter ignorance of the
situation of their business. The wife
knows nothing-has not even an idea of
the amount of her husbands fortune,
whether it is to be counted by hundreds
or thousands. What can a woman kept
in such ignorance learn? She spends, as
a matter of course, all he gives her to
spend, with the full confidence that when
that is gone, and she asks him, he will
give her more.
If an unmarried woman works, she
may go with bold, unblushing face, and
demand her wages; but a wife can de-
mand nothing, her claim is for bare ne
cessity; and generous men, on that ac-
count are too indulgent, too fearful of let
ting a wife know the exact state of their
finances, 'Tis all wrong.
Husbands and wives have a mutual in
terest; every woman should know the ex-
act state of her husbands finances, I'M
derstand his plans, and aid him, if pos
sible, with her counsels, and then these
terrible catastrophes would not so often
happen. Many. wife who is plunging
her husband deeper and deeper into debt
from ignorance, would, if she knew his
embarrassments, be the first to retrench,
the first to save, and with true womanly
sympathy and generosity, help him to re
instate his failing fortunes.
