THE WHEELING GAMBLERS.
One OF the Gamblers SAYS the Chier or Po-
lice Dnre Not sioIra Them.


One OF the Gamblers SAYS the Chier or Po-
lice Dare Not sioics, Them.
A Wheeling telegram Of Thursday
says The Chief Of Police still neglects
to arrest the gamblers, though descrip.
tons of places were furnished him yes
terday morning and the names this
morning by the Infclligencer. The First
Baptist church yesterday evening con-
tanned a great audience, which was adj
dressed by prominent ciergymen and
laymcn Of the city and by Fran
CHS Murphy, all of whom en-
dorsed the action of the Mayor and
Inteliigencer. Their remarks were en-
Enthusiastically received. Still greater
interest was added to the fight this
morning by the publication Of local and
editorial articles III the fnfeHigencer
charging Councilman IIealey with keep
ing gambIing-house. The article
charges that at 6 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, February 23d. in Healey's saloon
occurred desperate shooting scrape
that an arrest was made that in the
Police Court it was clearly proven that
the offence took place in the saloon,
as charged, and was occasioned by
a quarrel over a game; that
the chief then knew that Healey
kept a gambling place, and that, in ylo-
lation of the law, it was open on Sun
day morning; that the Chief has know
ingly refused to arrest and prosecute
Healey. The editorial ends with the
words " IIealey helped to elect Porter
Smith City Sergeant. The same paper
gives the names of the keepers Of the
leading gamblng-rooms Of the city,
locating one of them in the Mcclure
House. one Of the finest hotels in the
Ohio Valley. The excitement is grow
ing constantly. The gamblers are still
on the ground. and one of them remarked
that the Chief dare not modest them.

A MARVELLOUS RECOVERY.
Woman Rises from a supposed Death Bed
10 Prosecute q Fraud.

~
Mrs. Lydia A. Sherwood, who owned
a grocery-store and saloon in Chicago,
believing herself to be in a dying condi-
ton from consumption few days ago,
called upon James Mulligan, her clerk
and book-keeper, to write out her will.
To all appearances he faithfully CON-
piled, and after signing it she felt re-
lievsd. On Sunday last, feeling much
better, she called for her will,
so as to personally inspect it,
and perhaps make some changes. The
clerk then boldly informed her that
the paper she signed was not a will, but
q bill Of sale, conveying all her proper
ty, real and personal, to himse!f. lie
