STARTLED THE BoYs.-Last night at 10
o'clock while George Dake's saloon was
crowded. it was whispered about that q
woman was among them, which announce
ment had the effect of making many a mar
ried amateur gamester look up from his
game, and the signs of relief that were heard
from different parts of the gaming room
were many when the respective would-be
sports did not detect their wifes features.
The woman was tall and had beautiful
face, and stated that she was in quest of her
husband, whom she did not find in that as
semblage She was a stranger to everybody,
and was treated with the most profound re-
spect. But on her way out she threw half
dollar on the counter and called for some
whiskey, which she drank down without
water, like an old veteran, at once dispelling
all speculations respecting her social status

LIVELY TIMES -The streets and saloons
wore an unusually lively look last evening,
and especially the saloons, in which were re-
vived the spirit of the good, olden times of the
past, when everybody had lots of money and
no one would steal it, Last night there were
but few saloons in which could not be met
every conceivable game of chance, from the
royal faro down to plebian keno, between
which we're sandwichsd many new catch penny
games, the names of which are unknown to
the moral reporter of the APPTAL, and would
hardly interest the raoralreaders of this paper,
even were they given by name and in the or
der of their rate of Importance. Music was
not one of the elements wanting to add to the
cheerfulness of the scenes.

Of the Holy Trinity. were RECALLING themselves with
Lenten repast. when one of the servants became
strangely agitated She heard or thought she heard
strange noises in the cellar which suggested to
her excited fancy various startling possibilities.
Hurriedly she summoned fellow servant
stealthily the pair crept to the cellar door
and cautiously they opened it. Their fears
frmed. In the subterrAnean gloom q light glim-
mered-a gaslight. which neither of them had ig-
nited In high state of excitement the family was
summoned, and it was forthwith resolved to catch
the daring intruders and hand them to offended
Justice. That cellar door barricaded ut
once, and. armed with the most murderous
of domestic utensils, the valorous maid servants
kept watch and ward till Officer Henry w. Tallbush
was summoned from the Twelfth precinct station
house. At the cellar door the patrolman paused to
prepare the expected contest. and from his hip
pocket he transferred n formidable six-shooter
receptacle in his coat skirts
AT that moment an explosion resounded through
the hail. the maid servants shook in their slippers,
and thore was o growing impression that mine had
bush jerked up his hand, which was covered with
gore The revolver had accidentally exploded, and
the bullet had passed through the heshy part OF the
officers hand. This was y rather untoward
preface to the burglar hunt. but the
doughty patrolman in way taken aback. and
with tho wounded member swathed in q pocket
handkerchief he searched the house from garnet to
cellar and tho latter he most rigidly examined But

SEEKING RAPID TRANSIT.

Acommittee. consisting Of the Mayor and few
prominent citizens of Plainfeld. N. j., waited on
Receiver Lathrop. Of tho Central Railroad Of New
Jersey some days since ana presented that official
with q petition, signed by more than six hundred
citizens Of that place. asking him to increase the
facilities railroad travel between that city and New
York. They claimed that the saving of time in travel
ling to and from New York was OF very great mo-
ment, and that the present time table put the
commuters of Plainfeld at disadvantage
compared with the people of smaller towns
the road, in the matter of rapid
travel Another point of the petition was that the
establishment OF rapid transit roads New York
city had had the effect Of inducing residents of Plain
field to locate In the upper part Of the metropolis
while. from the cause large numbers were de-
TERED from taking up their residence in New Jersey
They finally asked that the railroad company would
modify their time table as to give them train
daily each way. the running time of which should be
reduced to thirty minutes between Piainfeld aud
Jersey City.
Receiver Lathrop said yesterday that he had sent
prompt reply to the committee. He considered their
request for train to occupy only thirty minutes be-
tween Plainfeld and Jersey City absurd. 1t would
be impossible to make such time without endanger
ing the lives Of passengers The officials of the Cen
