parties styling themselves journalists. No less

Club ball, at the Masonic Temple, Monday night,
with pencil and paper in hand, taking notes. The
appearance Of the papers the next day clearly
proved them to have been impostors, and those OF
the meanest order There can be no doubt they
obtained admission to the hall by stating they
were attached to the local press. Look ou', gents,

Yesterday as Major Richards, Detective Nc
Dewitt and Commodore Ammen were investigat-

ned with its quarters. After some scuifiing the
Opossum was captured and handed over to a COL
oTed messenger, who represented that he had q
large family, any member Of which was willing
