RAIDING THE GAMBLERS.
Satisfa ction Over Saturday Nights Arrest
"A Suggestion.

Satisfaction Over Saturday Nights Arrests
"A Suggestion.
There were many expressions OF satisfac'
ton among the law-abiding citizens, yester-
day, over the action of the police in raiding
the gambling dens, Saturday night and
early yesterday morning, and in numerous
Instances the officers were commended tor
their evident disposition to root out the
poker players and break up the gambling
rooms. At the same time there was much
regret expressed at the accept
ance of bail from the men
captured, and the consequent farce
OF having twelve or fifteen bogus names
called out in Police Court this morning. If
this evil is to he stamped out, and we take
it for granted that that is the desire of Capt.
Smith and his men, there is nothing like
going at it thoroughly. Let the police posi-.
lively refuse to allow the prisoners to put
up" and lock all gamblers up until the con-
venipg of Judge LETTERS court, when they
can appear and plead guilty in the regular
way, if they so desire. This will put
the guilty parties in a fair way to be
indicted by the next Grand Jury, and
this fact, once generally known, will 60
very far toward keeping our young men out
of gambling rooms.
As matter Of fact, the whole practice of
allowing arrested parties to deposit with the
officers making arrests q sufficient amount
of money to cover the highest fine likely to
be assessed against them, is a bad one, and
should have been stopped long ago. The
knowledge that S25 will save one from be-
ing run into the cooler, and that the giving
of bogus name will obviste any danger Of
publicity, is what makes 30 many men snap
their fingers at the risk of arrest in certain
cases, while the poor devil be he ever SO
well connected" or respectable" has to
face the music.
Take the cases of the men pulled in Sat
urday night. Every one Of them gave o
false name, deposited so or $2i with the
police, and has nothing to fear from trial
Consequently some or all of thep', probably,
will be back at the gaming table before the
week is out. If they had been locked up
and paraded ia court this morning, it is
reasonable to think they would Lave had q
Wholesome dread of the law for month or
so, at least.

JOHN ". ARMSTRONG,

of Typographical Union No. 70, who, after
promising not to detain his bearers long,
proceeded to state some very interesting
facts. In the first place he asked, If trades
unions are not good things, why is it said
that in union there is strength" and why
do all parties, political or otherwise, who
have an end to accomplish, first proceed to
organize thoroughly? He then recited his
experience in Washington City, where Eve
years ago there was no organization of any
kind, and where now all trades are thor
oughly organized. Granite cutters now get
$500 for eight hours work. Brick and
stone masons work eight hours for the same
wages. ......
Mr.. Armstrong also noticed the good re-
suits derived BY contractors by the organi-
zation of labor. Formerly contractors never
knew what wages they might be forced to
pay, while now they can bid with q clear I'M
Outstanding that ifthey work union men they
will pay Just so much and no more. This,
of ccurse, makes it possible for them to bid
inteligently and not by guess as formerly.
TO show the good of organization he stated
,hefact that organized carpenters in New
York are getting from So TO $3.50 per day,
while in Martins Ferry they are not organ
lied and are working for from $3.50 to 81
per day. And further, the bosses in New
York are making sc much money as are

KILLING CATTLE AND HOGS.
The Improved Methods Employed by Prac
ticed b

The Improved Methods Employed by Prac-
ticed BItchcrs.
The killing of cattle is usually at
tended with an altogether unnecessary
degree of cruelty. Not i%nfrequently a
number of heavy blows upon the fore
head of a beast fails to even stun it, but
every one of the blows inficts needless
suffering. DIR. Phares relates a case
which illustrates this: "An old polled
beef-animal was tied and received many
heavy blows in the face from a heavy
AK welded by athletic arms of several
parties in succession without bringing
him down. A slender, feeble man, dis
gusted at the awkward cruelties prac-
ticed, seized the implement and with a
light blow downward and forward just
back OF the head deprived the animal of
feeling and life as completely and in
stantly as though a thunderbolt had
passed through the brain. The gaping
crowd that had assembled looked in
blank amazement as if themselves
thunderstruck."
The cause of the instant death of the
animal was that the blow was struck in
the right place and in the right direc-
ton to reach the .'vital knot which is
that bit of gray matter found where the
brain is contracted to pass from the
skull into the backbone. A slight cut,
or blow, or a single electric spark
touching this causes instant death of
all parts of the animal. In some of the
larger slaughter-houses in Chicago this
medulia oblongata is reached by the
sharp point of a heavy steel lance, given
by a man who walks along a plank over
the heads of the cattle as they await
| death in the narrow stalls. This mar
seldom misses a blow, so expert has he
become by much practice, but with a
single light touch of the steel puts al
instantaneous end to all sensation in the
beast.
In other houses a rifle is carried by
the man on the plank over the stalls.
A bullet from this enters the brain,
tearingi its way downward and instantly
destroying life in that organ. There
and complete as though lightning had
been in common use in these houses fol
years, and have been often described ir
American as well as in foreign news
