ticket SPECTATORS powers than occurred at the opcn,
ing OF the New Park Theater On Monday night Tia
theater is an extremely pretty house Of large dimen
stons and In popular locality. Thatcher Pr1mruEo
in New YORK, we've to appear, and the event n had
been well heralded- Everybody was anxious 20 90
70 the theater, and everybody did go at O'Clock,
few hundred were enabled 20 enter the
the ss,, The Spectators bought nearly all
prices for them. These prices they stuck 10 per-
sistently UP TO O'Clock People were turned away

selling the tickets at almost nothing and giving
them away TO negroes, tramps and lo1ngers They
a brilliant theatrical opening. They LOST = yaad
deal OF money, and that is some comfort M least
by the way, observe that one OF the companions
OF Irving and Walsh who were shot and killed in

WHERE CRIME Is LOCATED
1t is rather curious that the most disreputahle
and debased class OF New York criminal society
should be situated within a stones throw OF the
most aIfstocratic portion OF the city. The single
strip OF land running between Broadway and Sew
entf avenue from ed 10 Sith streets embraces more
crime and misery than any similar area I'm the
country. There is no reason why those people
Some years ago the police officials came TO the con-
cltson that the fourth ward ought 10 be cleared
out, and they sent Captain Williams, who is the
oraNeSt ana most FEARLESS man on the force, down
In Oak street to begin operations. He protested
police captains of New York, but It was
Of OF no avail They potr,ed out the fact
that they had all the criminals and disreputa-
Die cases under control down I'm the lower part of
the town, and they knew exactly where 20 ay their
hands on ',crooks" when they were wanted But
the commissioners Insisted that their orders should
be obeyed, and the result is that all the lower
wards OF the city were cleared out and the crime
breeding classes that congregated there were sent
securing up town. They settled I'm the neighbor-
hood OF 3Wh street and 9Th avenue, and gradually
stretched down TO ed street, while gradually con-
inning themselves in an area OF two blocks east and
west. This quarter has now become hot-bed
or crime. When Draper wished TO locate his resort
for thieves and burglars, known the brooklyn
House, he chose the heart OF this quarter Here he
has had good business, and has undoubtedly
planned many OF hts most daring and successful
burglariea The place where Irving and Walsh were
Killed few nights ago Is only a few hundred feet
from the saloon where Tracy killed Miller some
months ago, and where countless murieruus as
saults hava been made upon citizens 10y the men,
befs OF the Empire gang. Diapers saloon is any
thing but pretentiouS II is a common place and
bare, and the shopkeepers in the vicinity say that
he never did enough business 10 pay hisJent-that
Is enough liquor business Probably his other bus
ineSs has proSpered.
