A SURPRISED PARTY.
Guests at Louise MOntague's Golden
Hotel UnceremOniOusly Disturbed.


PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-Saturday night
the Maison Doree, operated originally by
Louise Montague, Forepaugh's high.priced
beauty, but now said to be run by Ezra K.
Conklin and George Lowell as drinking
saloon and gambling establishment, was
surprised by the appearance of the po-
lice about II o'clock. The game was
carried on on the second floor, and
ingenious contrivances were on the lower
floor TO warn the spectators of the appear
ance of any raiders. They were informed
of all the communications except the under
the bar counter, and when they appeared
the bartender gave the alarm, and in an
instant there was cry Of "the police" and
a rush of feet across the floor, oaths and the
dragging movement of tables and imple-
ments, as though the
Surprised Gamblers
were endeavoring to get rid of the Grimm
ating evidence of their occupation. so
for the kitchen stairs and take 'em from the
rear" shouted the lieutenant to his blue
coated cohorts, who came trooping from the
street. The door was barricaded with dis
mantled tables, which were thrust aside,
and William Barton, who secreted faro
deal box in his pocket, and the others gave
up. Sergeant Brode went TO a third'story
front room, which was opened by woman
and Conklin, who was fully dressed, came
forth and was made a prisoner. Lleuten-
ant Court had car man in waiting and
loaded in the gambling tables, the roulette
wheel ETC., and the reserves guarding the
captiyes formed in procession and marched
10 the Central Station.

PITTSBURGH, March 5.-A gentleman con.
nected with the new enterprise known as
the Adams direct process for making muck
bar directly from the ore, said recently
that although no location had as yet been
determined upon, the capital would be
forthcoming when needed.
In experimenting on the process EN-
ployed, ball of lion was made in q tenn.
porary furnace at the old Glendwo God works.
Wishing to have it rolled for the purpose
of testing, it was found impossible to have
il rolled at any OF the city mills, as
the men supposed the new process
in some way would eventually tend TO de-
moralize the iron working business. The
inventors claim that it will benefit the pud-
dlers, as iron can be produced so cbeaply
that the open hearth steel, in which wrought
iron enters largely, will take the place OF
Bessemer steel. The same parties have also
gotten a patent on dephosphorizing pro-
cess, which is claimed to be superior TO any
other now in use. Ores con tanning but IS
per cent. of iron, it Is claimed, can be treat
ed for 25 cents per ton, when by other
methods the outlay is not less than $2.25.

A PERTINENT QUESTION.
What In u Bank Examiner For ?

Your pertinent question in the FREE
PRESS of the 9th inst, will bear repetition.
Hon. Charles Dewey was in st. Adams on
Friday of last week, and is reported in the
Messenger as saying that he discovered ire
gularllies in the Trust compa ny's business
methods, and called the attention of the
officers thereto. Mr. Dewey did not deem
1t prudent to exercise his authority provided
Tor such cases, fearing failure would be
prccipitatcd, and the depostors suifer serious
loss. The irregularities continued, the
Trust company failed, aud dcpositors would
now be glad of an assurance that even 80
cents ON the dollar would be paid
Does any body suppose that if Mr.. Dewey
had given the officers Of the company to un.
derstand that he meant business 10 demand
Ing that irregularities cease, and securities be
made good, there would have been a failure ?
The Trust company officials, as men, are pos
sesscd of some pride, and it is presumed some
Tear OF the laws penalty, if they have no
higher qualification as custodians of other
peoples money, mud if the inspector who
knows good business methods and securities
as well AS any man in Vermont, Ind done his
duty, the abuses would have stopped and de-
positOrs been made secure
From all that can be learned, the condition
of the Vermont National bank is similar to
that OF the Trust company, and Mr.. Ilcndcc
is severely ccnsurcd A.

/
Forbes sends to the Journa! this account
Of the contract between Mr. Barlow and the
Canadian Pacific people The Southeastern
Railroad was TO bc sold to the directors Of
the Canadian Pacific Railway at an upset
price of SO, 100, 900, and in return Messrs
Stephen, Mcintyre and Smith were to secure
for Mr.. Barlow the dscounting of two notes
for 5000 900 and $4,000 respectively, the
latter being done at the Bank of Montreal.
Both notes bore the Endorsement Of the above
named gentlemen. They were further TO
advance him the sum of $3.50, 900 themselves,
which was done. They received for them
selves the option TO purchase the road at any
time within two years Of the date Of the
agreement. Mr.. Barlow reserved the right
TO decline their option on 30 days notice on
payment of his Indebtedness in full, while
they reserved to themselves the right to call
III Barlow's loan on 30 days notice. A year
and one month of the time included in the
agreement has already expired. AT the time
OF the completion Of the above agreement
1t was further agreed between Mcssrs. Bar.
low. A. Il. Chailcc, George Stephen, Duncan
Mcintyre aud Donald A. Smith that the
road should be sold to the Canadian Pacific |
for five million dollars. The difference be- |

Mcintyre and Smith. Since the signing OF |
the agreement Mr.. Barlow has expended, I'm. |

lie wished to include that amount in the /
amount of the purchase money. This the SYM
dictate refused TO do Mr.. Barlow since then has |
been trying TO sell his road to other parties.
but has been unable to do SO in consequence
of the complications in which he is involved
with Mcssrs. Chaffcc, Stephen, Mcintyre and
Smith, while they, seeing the futility of his
Efforts in disposing Of his road, have forced
an issue. BY the terms of the agreement
and as collateral security he pledged the en-.
tire stock and issue of bonds of the South
eastern railway, which they still hold as COL
lateral security for their previous aid Rep
resentativcs OF the Canadian Pacific railway
say that company is perfectly satisfied in
having the sale of the road made to the Chap

Pacific people assert that they do not desire

express n willingness TO relinquish their
claim on the payment of the amount due
