| THE QUARTERS OF THE SOCIETY MENTIONED.
| On the third story of the house at the
/ northeast corner of the Bowery and Second
st. the Emerald Club has been holding
weekly meetings on Tuesday evenings for
three years. Previous to that time it. meet
ings were held IN the Florence Building,
| at First-st. and Second-ave. The building
| in which the meetings are now held IS
| used by q number of lodges of various secret
| societies. and the presence OF the Emeralds among
them has attracted particular attention. Neither
the agent, b. Sanders, OF No l5l Bowery. nor the
janitor on the premises, had any knowledge of the
| persons who constituted the club. Before the room
| was TAKEN q man who was an lrishman
| called and examined il carefully, so the janltor
said. lie asked very particular questions as TO tho
| thickness of tho partition walls, and whether by
| any possibility sounds could be heard through
them. Being satisfied on these points, he SAID the
room would do and he paid quarters rent in ad-
| vance. From that time to the present there
has been written agreement between the
agent and his tenants but the rent has always
been properly paid. The janitor, W ho is a German
said that he thought that there was an
| average attendance of about sixty persons
| at the meetings, and the members
were very quiet during their sessions.
| We had no complaint 10 make of them except
that they kept very late hours their meetings
