The following is digest of what was seen
by reporter and his guide in one of these
establishments: As the visitors entered they
were greeted by welldressed man of middle
age with light hair and complexion, who
shook hands with both and asked them if thew
wished to smoke. The room is large
square one, richly furnished. On the bed,
over which was thrown rug, were sleeping
two beautiful girls. They were both past
consciousness. In one corner was the form
of n talented young law student who is re-
tanned by one of the leading lawyers in Penn
berton Square. By his side slept a theatre
cal man and his wife, whose faces are we'll
known in popular comedy. A wealthy young
man, whose father is prominent theatrical
manager, was among the fre1uenters of the
joint. In numerous other places well-known
men were found who had been followed from
their place of business, the club or the theatre
to these haunts. The Globe has in its posses

A WOMAN'S REVENGE.
Beheading her Husbands Aunt
Jealousy the Motive.

Sallie O'Niell and her husband lived with
his aunt, Kitty Keefe, in Silver Creek, Penn.
The other night Mrs. O'Neill returned from
a christening in the neghborhood, where she
had been since early morning, and where she
had INDUCED freely in liquor. Mrs. Keefe
was nearly sixty years OF age, but being an
Albino, looked younger and was still hand
some. Mrs. ONeill was jealous of the old
woman, whom she accused of stealing her hus-
bands affections. She quarreled with her
husband at the christening ard went home
alone and found Mrs. keefe sitting on the door
step of their little log cabin. What followed
can only be COnjectured. Certain it is, how
ever, that Mrs O'Neill seized Ratchet. and,
coming up behind Mrs Keefe, split her head,
then hacked her face beyond recognition,
and finally severed the head from the body
Then with hair flowing behind, her hands
red with blood, she ran to a neigh
boris house. The CHASTITY remains lay in the
moonlight, half in and half out of the door
way until found some time later by two men
who were passing. They found Mrs O'Neill
in the neighbours house and gave the alarm,
taxing the woman back to the house with
them. They confronted her with her horri-
bic work. Breaking from them, she ran at
the corpse, aud grasping it by the heels
dragged it into the middle of the road. Then
with a demoniac shrek she ran into the
house. Horritie1 at the spectacle. the men first
laid the manged remains beside the house,
and then took the woman into custody and
LODGED har in If. sfiit t Her husband who did
not learn of the work until nearly an hour
later, has been dazed ever since. He is of
GOOD character.

RIOTS ABROAD.
Disturbances mt Meetings in London
and Paris.


At a monster meeting of socialists at
Limehouse Yard, London, riot was caused
by police interference. Warrants had been
issued for the arrest of the speakers, but the
crowd prevented several attempts of the
police, and it was only after an hours
fighting that they succeeded in capturing Mr..
Mahon, secretary of the Socialist league
and the steward Of n German club. They
also arrested six spectators. On the way to
the police station the crowd followed the po-
lice and their prisoners, hooting and making
repeated rushes at them in the endeavor to
release their friends. The police, however,
stood their ground well, making free use of
their clubs and finally landing their prison
ers in the lookup.
Paris has been the scene of rotous ARRAY
at a meeting in the Bourse A dispatch gives
the following particulars: While Citizens
Jofferin and Allemane were converting hum
dreds of ex-Communsts inside the Bourse,
around a table covered with a red flannel
tablecloth, for the purpose of drawing up a
platform for the communist party at the
coming elections, hordes of anarchists burst
into the vast hall, bowling and yelling the
names of their own candidates in deafening
chorus. The anarchists made a charge for the
speakers chair, which was carried by storm
Smashing the table to pieces and breaking up
the seats, benches and chairs, they threw
much injury ond inflicting severe
wounds. The doors of the Bourse
were thrown open and everybody
rushed toward the place of exit, the anarch-
lists and socialists fighting fiercey with their
fists and feet and with sticks. Revolver
shots were heard above the noise of the
melee, and the excitement, which was fear
full, was increased by the shrieks of the
women. Anumber of persons were wounded.
The police finally quelled the tumult

its original eight clubs left, and one of them
