The affair took place in the presene. d,
several parties In the City Hail, and a, :.
time when the GAZETTE represent',iv'
was not present Two other w
porters, said to be connected WIN
the Third street Filchsr and the morn"o
organ, were on hand, but thus far both Y
them have failed TO make mention of Ss
facts In their respective sheets
Mcconnell, who showed his disgust ana
chagrin clearly, at once proceeded 4
obtain a pledge from those pressD
not to say anything about the matter n,
succeeded remarkably well in his endesyor
a. 1t Is impossible to get correct statemen
of the transaction. There are seyen
rumors aaoat as to why the sergeant wa, \
anxious that the disturbed fakirs should M
be interfered with. ''
Clerk Hickey also refuses To talk shou
the matter, but acknowledges that he cam
out ahead in the trouble. His principle rea
son for not giving the true inwardness q
the case is "because they might ask me II
had told you, and as wouldn'twant toteI
q lie, would have to say yes"
A young man who was also at the Ha

he had "promised Mcconnell not to give
away"

Mcconnell, 1t is said, has been congral
lating himself that at least his case vi
kept out Of the papers. In that
is doomed to disappointment n
bottom facts will sooner or ht
come TO the surface, when seven
now misunderstood points may be e.
planned. There are mysterious hints
many dark doings and sly tricks under tt
roof of the Hall, which, It is claimed wi
make a stir when brought out
