oatng the Sunday laws in that portion of the city
| lying between Fourteenth and Forty second-sts.
| The provisions of the Excise law were nominally
| complied with. but really violated to tho same e<-
| tent previous Sundays. The front doors of
| the groggeries were closed and locked. and the
| blinds drawn, but the side doors were open and
| thriving business was done by all. Persons passing
on the sidewalk could hear the loud talk mingled
with profanity and obscenity, which are the char
| acteristcs of these places. The poll g
wlnked at these violations of the law,
and. II asked to put stop to
| them, declared that there was use doing any
| thing as the magistrates invariably discharged the
