Our Meteorolocleai Bulletin.

The weather yesterday was discussed
with far more interest than is usually taken in
that thread bare topic. The genial temperature
brought out the ladies in full force on the Avenue
and afforded the first opportunity for some weeks
forthe heavy swells" to shoot their ulSters and
bend on their short sacks for their regular four
o'clock constitutional" from Fifteenth to Seventh
streets and return. After nightfall the fog
which swept down on the city made pedestrianism
somewhat uncertain, and through its thick folds
the seven and three-quarter candle-power lights
furnished by the Washington Gaslight Company
stood out like black knots in the gray gloom of the
night.
The steamboat men are rejoicing, and predict
clear river by the end of the week, and the I'M
happy residents along the wharves in "Ree :"
Georgetown are anchoring their fences and pre-
pairing for that annual rise in the Potomac which
forms one of the stirring incidents in the yearly
experience of that historic burg.

DESTROYING THE TOOLS.
The Sequel TO Wednesday Nights Raid
What Was Done ian the Police Court.


The Police Court was packed with
! spectators most of them of sportive turn, yes
erday morning anticipating the trial of the pro-
prieors of the gambling houses raided the preced-
| ing night Edwin Jones was first called to plead
| and, having the charge read to him, postpone
ment was agreed upon until next Wednesday, de-
PENDANT giving bonds in the sum of 5000.
Warrants were issued for George Parker and
Dennis Darden, and subsequently Parker ap-
peared and gave bonds for trial the same day as
Jones.
The police continued in possession of the raided
houses, end in the afternoon the tables and such
effects as remained in the rooms were taken to the
Fifth Precinct Station and completely demolished
with an Ak. Among the articles destroyed were
several walnut card-tables, faro lay-0uts, check
racks, cue cards and boxes large pile ofwell sea-
soned kindling wood being the result of the labos
of the police. 1t was estimated that the value of
these articles was upward of 5000, and should
the trials be decided in favor of the accused they
will have to buy new paraphcrnalia.
In one of the drawers of table taken from Par
ker's tract entitled Z" Are You Ready to Meet
Code" was discovered in the midst of a pile OF
ivory checks and bore marks of considerable
handling. The dealing boxes, checks, and other
traps likely to be needed at the trial sent to
Police Headquarters, large crowd of interested
sports witnessing the transfer.
No regrets were heard expressed for the raid, the
principal grievance being the destruction of the
implements.
4 package of neatly engraved cards, inscribed
Congressional, 1877 Pennsylvania ayenue-open
during the session of Congress" were among the
effects taken from Parkers, as well as a small,
black memorandum book, showing the receipts
and expenditures for the past month or two.
1t was clearly demonstrated that gambling
paid the proprictorS, as the nights upon which
losses were met were the exception. Included in
the items of expenditure were terrapin and other
table luxuries used to tickle the palates and pock
cts of customers while the market bills were daily
upward of So. The supper nightly furnished at
Parkers was from all appearances mp TO the stand

instances customers paid a round sum for the
