The raid upon the keno players in New York;
Notwithstanding the numerous arrests made,
appears to have had very insignificant results.
Nineteen dens were invaded and about seven
hundred persons arrested The players were
discharged and the propretors were held in
nominal bail to appear when called upon. By
some mistake the establishments of Alderman
Mitchell and Fatty" Walsh, influential civic
politicians, were seized among the rest, the ar
engagements for giving them timely warning, as
was done in the case of "Mike Murray" anoth-
er person of influence, having been neglected.
Suitable apology is understood to have been
offered TO these affronted dignitaries and, as
their loss is slight and the interruption of their
business temporary, it is hoped that no lasting
unpleaSantness will grow out of the affair. 1t
is said, however that, as a further satisfaction,
Captain McClary, in whose precinct Alderman
Mitchell's den is, will be transferred, for having
overdone the business. Mr.. Murray, whose
privileges were respected, keeps three of the
largest keno establishments on Broadway and
the Bowery, and his profits are said to be two
thousand dollars a day. AS there are about
two hundred keno dens still in full operation,
lovers of the game will suffer no serious incon-
venience from the closing of so small a number
for day or two. The gambling fraternity are
not much alarmed by this demonstration, which
they regard as a fcint to quiet the dissatisfac-
ton provoked by some recent disclosures in the
city papers. More credit would he given to the
good intentions and efficiency of the police, if
the larger establishments, like those of Murray
and Kerrigan, and some of the six or seven hun
bred faro banks in the city were occasionally
interrupted. The Evening Post suggests that
perhaps Superintendent Kelso is not aware of
the existence of these, and offers to furnish him
with the names and addresses of hundred or
more, that are nightly in operation, upon which
he may try his hand as a beginning.

They do many strange things in Chicago and
some of the women there are shaIp,-sharp
enough TO comprehend the mystery OF Fisk &
Gould; but they are not always successful. In
that city, not very long since, a man named
Rockafelow and a woman named Newcomb
formed marriage engagement He was infat-
uated and she was shrewd and calculating; and
1t came about that he gave her deed of real
estate worth $4,000, whereupon she gave him
notice that her promise to marry him would not
be fulfilled. She was now ''woman of prop
erty' and chose to marry some other fellow.
Under these circumstances, he brought suit
TO recover his real estate, which was decided
against him. He then appealed 10 the
supreme court of the state, which, after
a patient hearing of the case, decided in
his favor. The court held that the promised
marriage was the consideration for the property
transferred and, as the refusal to fulfil the prom
Use of marriage destroyed the consideration, the
property must be restored to the Tilted Rocka-
fellow. Probably the woman named NewcOmb
would now. like to renew that marriage engage
ment, but Rockafellow seems TO have had
enough of it, Those ladies who buy houses and
lands in this way, will take notice that they
must actually pay the stipulated price, before
they can get a sure title. In this case, the
woman has secured rather more notoriety than
she likes; but she is manifestly sharp enough to
live in Chicago and prosper.
