liquor store of James A. Kelley, at Tenth
and Orange streets, had been entered. The
two then repaired TO the store, from Tenth

That gentleman then examined the place

DIsoRDERLY HOUSE.
Between and 6 o'clock this morning
Sergeant Sova and a party Of policemen
raided the premises 1902 Orange stect, oc-
cupied rs a club room by party of colored
folks. Two men and five women were
captured in the place, one of the men and
all of the women being pretty well under
the influence of liquor. When the place
was entered 4 number of chairs were dis
covered and taken to the Hall. There were
four heavy wooden rockers and two wicker
chairs, which were subsequently identified
by gentlemen living along the avenue as
having been stolen from their porches. At
the hearing the officers testified to hearing a
loud noise at the place, and being upon the
track OF the party who had robbed Kelley
store concluded something might be found
in the club room. An empty whisky bottle,
apparently taken from Kelley's store, was
found In the room. Greenman was known
to be a regular visitor of the club, and the
suppositIon is that he furnished the liquor
for the party to have a spree. Lydia
Archie, colored widow, having very much
the appearance and manner of Chester
county Friend, testified TO the disorderly
conduct of the regular attendants OF the
club, with whom she had talked at different
times upon the subject, admonishing them
to be more orderly. The widows daughter
corroborated her mothers statement, supple
menting 1t with the charge that members OF
the club frequently had stolen meat and
other eatablcs from her mothers premises
A young colored man appeared for the
defense, but made most excellent witness
for the prosecution. lie is q driver for a
medical gentleman and In his position has
picked up n goodly number OF large words,
with which he RECALLED the Mayor and the
audience while giving his testimony. Some
of his sentences were remarkably con
structed, and the sum and substance of his
evidence was that the club room was no
worse and nc noisier than any other place
on the street, He presumed that the
women, who were not regular visitors TO
the club room, had been to party and had
gotten too much liquor for their
good, ''for you know" he said, addressing
the Mayor sit will always do that" Tho
whole party acknowledged being in the
place, but said they we're on the way home
from party. The culprits were each fined
$40 and costs. One man was too drunk for
a hearing. No action was taken in regard
to the theft of the chairs nor nunDer OF
red lanterns, evidently stolen from street
distractions, which were also found in the
place 1t is hoped that some Of the larty
will give evidence leading to The thieves.

hearing the iad VINO Was III lHe cigar etoIe
at the time the affair, recognized Garra2hy
as one of the parties, but Woodward would
not swear TO him. He thought Davis was the
man, but was not certain, as the man who
went with him to get the money had a
darker moastQchc than the one the prisoner
wore.
At the hearing this morning \. II. Wood.

the strangers moustachc was dark. Ills
clothes, however, were like those worn by
the prisoner.

'niopy but not certain Of Dayis' identity
