Louisville as a Ga mblers' Center.
A Louisville (Ky.)correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times writes: "Gam-
bling is plainly the most important.bus-
mess in Louisville. 1t gives character
to five or six Of the choicest squares irR
the commercial part of the town, and
exceeds any other branch of trade in
volume of transactions. The pooling
rooms, which are all on the square on
Third street, between Main and Market,
handle not less than Sc, OOO. 900 a year.
The faro banks, which occupy large
portion of the honsesof two squares on
Fifth street, two squares Of Jefferson
street and one square Of Green street,
do a business at about :3,GO.OOO. The
winnings and losings OF the numerous
poker rooms amount to soc. 600, at q
moderate estimate; tt e keno banks alb
serb about 81 100000 in the course of
each year, mainly the wages of ]abOring
men; and the lottery offices, Of
which there are over a hundred
scattered like drug stores all over town,
receive and keep $500, 900 at least, half
of which comes from the negroes.
These estimates make total of $l2, 5OO,-
600. The proprietary gamblers are all
money-spending politicians, and some
of them are Office holders. Two of the
latter-Dick Watts, Alderman and Ed
Hughes, Chief of the fire department
are regarded as the princes Of Louisville
gambling, but back of them and con-
trolling them is qniet little man. the
master gambler OF all. The story of
Anderson Nj. Wadtlel. Dick Watts and
Ed Hughes would be a story ofgamblins
here complete, but their ways here nave
been so mysterious that not great deal
can be told about them. More is known
about the men than the methods by
which they have attained their present
phenomenal power. They and tier
associates have bought outright and
