preached close to an engine, which unexpect

engine caught the clothes of the Prince, who
would undoubtedly have been drawn into the

engine. AS it was the Prince had his clothes

CROOKED HOUSES PULLED.


In accordance with an order issued by
Superintendent of Police Ziegler at noon
to-day, the officers made general attack
all along the line upon houses of prostitu-
ton, and in little while they began to file
into the Station-ho with their captives.
Among the late arrivals at Ninth-street
we're Joe Woods, 12l and 1913 Longworth
street, with seven girls; Kate Riley, 1877
Longworth, and one girl; Belle Boyd, 1873
Longworth, and two girls; Nellie Bush, 126
Longworth, and two girls Matte Hopkins,
219 Plum, and two girls, and Lillian For

This was the first time raid was ever
made of such places during the daytime.
The police formed in squads and posted
themselves at the front and back entrances
of the houses
The girls tried to escape, generally trying
to get out the back way but it was no go.
They were just as quickly taken in as
they skipped over the fences.
1t was fun for the boys, and at least a
crowd of from five hundred to one thou
sand was at nearly every place pulled.
Frank Hall promptly appeared on the
scene and bailed out most of the parties.

BEYOND THE BORDER.
GENERAL ESCOBEDO CAPTURED.
Running Down the Raiders.

National Associated Press to the Star.
WASHINGTON, July 24-The news from
the Rio Grande, that Mackenzie has crossed
the border just above the mouth of the
Pecas River, in pursuit of the Mexican raid
ers. with eight hundred men, shows that
the more vigorous Mexican policy determ-
ined upon by our Government is being
carried out Usually, the troops following
these Mexican cattle thieves across the bor-
der, have never exceeded two hundred men.
1t is not intended by any means, as stated
in Administra ion circles, to bring on any
trouble with the Mexican Government, but
it is thought best to show the Mexican
people that this country intends to protect
her citizens from foreign depredations.
For this reason Mackenzie has force at
his back sufficient to follow up and punish
the raiders. The old element in this city
that wants difficulty with Mexico is de-
lighted over the news and SAYS it means
war. OF course there are no plausible
grounds for their statement. Mackenzie is
only carrying out the tirmer policy decided
npon by the Government.

man discovered them and gave the alarm,
and several Deputy MarShals were soon on
the scene, when Mayor Bowman drove up.
He drew his carriage up in front of the last
section that had been laid, and in loud
voice commanded the men to desist, telling
them that the Courts had granted a perpet-
ual injunction against it.
This Superintendent Sherman, of the
Railroad Company, denied, and told the
Mayor that unless he withdrew force would
be used. By this time a crowd was on the
ground. Mr.. Sherman called upon Captain
Becker and his thirty men to remove the
Mayors buggy. An attempt was made,
but the Marshals came to the rescue, and
the construction force were overawed and
retired. The crowd then tore the track uI
and proceeded to burn the material Su
perintendent Sherman, in trying to stor
hurt. The railroad officials assert their de
termination to lay the track at all hazards
and have called upon the Governor anC
Sheriff for protection. More trouble seem:

ATLANTIC CITY, July 24.-After consider

mittee finally settled down to business
about five o'clock yesterday afternoon. The

attacked at night, pistol shots fired at him
and his clothing shot through, he escaping

spoke TO me as Republican, and as having
made protest upon which the vote of the

that he had come to New Orleans
and informed the Republican Committee
that his parish was going Democratic, the
negroes generally voting that way, and had

return to the parish at all or return and
make such protest as would throw the
