Star: The complete failure of Mr..

place where the dissolute younger sons
of aristocratic English families could re-

fifty adventurers TO start colony in the

OVER $4,000 IN CHIPS
At One Long Branch Gambling Palac,
During a Siagte Recent Sitting.

NEW YORK, August 10.-The fight
against the gamblers at Long Branch has
gone as far as raid on the Ocean Club,
big establishment standing in the
grounds of the Ucean Hotel. This house
is second only to the penhsyivania Club
IN gorgeousnese, ana exceeds it in size.
II Is one of the handsomest structures
along the shore, being ornate in archi-
lecture and situated in the midst of flow
ers and foliage. The interior is finished
in natural woods. There are numerous
private game-rooms, apublic restaurant,
and chiefly hall Of. large proportions
aud beautiful finish, wherein four
faro tables, four roulette tables
and two red and black tables
are in nightly use Charley Ran
som is the manager, but he is un-
derstood TO have the partnership and
backing of several capitalists. The
play is heavy, and the chips represented
over S19,0 900 at the time when your cor
respondent made an inventory. Thirty
six men are required to run this single
apartment, and the crowd Of victims
sometimes numbers 300. The police of
Long Branch are comically rural and
inert body, and they, with the justices of
the peace, are very deferential to the
gambling interest; but the town trts-
| tees, majority of whom are rich sum-
mer residents, have resolved to exter-
inmate the gamblers, and under their
pressure a raid has been made on the
Ocean Club. Five employees were ar
rested, aud justice fined them 500
| each, which Ransom paid promptly, and
| they were returned to duty in the club.
But the sentiment of the cottagers has
| been aroused by the undesirable noto-
| riety which the Branch has got as the
| worlds gambling resort, and the GAIN
blers are frightened. Their plunder
has been unprecedented thus far
| this season, owing to the ex-
pulsion of gamblers from New York
City, and the unusual attendance at the
| Monmouth races, which are extended
| through the whole summer. Losses of
| $1,000, $4,000, and in the case of one
| Wall street man, as high as S14 900 in
a single night, show the enormous win
nings of the rascals. A feature of the
evil lately developed is a roulette game
for women. Aroom in the Pennsylvania
Club has been set apart for this purpose.
| The enticement of a good supper pre-
cedes the play, and, unlike the gaming
for men, entrance is somewhat restricted.
| A league for the determination of the
gamblers has been formed, and among the
participants in the movement are Gen.
Horace Porter, George William Childs
Jesse and James SelIgman, Chauncey NJ.
| Depew and John Harper. 1t is hoped
| that the weight Of this onslaught will Re
sufficient to break down the official sup:
port of the rich gamblers.

MEMPHIS, TENN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9,

nailers went out. The feeders were
given the places of the nailers and are
now occupying them, and it looks as if
they would continue to do so. The as
sociation decided to hold out at II cents,
and agreed to give the feeders fair and
full trial for one year from July 11th. IF
the nailers wish to return to work at
the manufacturers rate they can do So
but preference is to be given to the feed
ers, who will hold their places. The
price of nails was not discussed, though
the manufacturers hope for raise. The
next meeting of the association will be
held in Pittsburg.

labcring men, When this was done the
colony thrived and grew great. The
most of the Rugby youngsters did
not wait for Captain John to come
around, and the bull-headed' fel-
lows have generally succeeded
them. These English lads, the half
dozen or SO that are still here, are an in
teresting study. Meeting one of them in
his free and easy garb, you would think
he was a tramp, and be entirely unde-
eeived the instant you heard him speak
They are the deVil-may- care sort of fel-
lows who have done the military and
naval part of the British empire They
are kind and generous to fault, and will
work all day and half the night for any,
body and everybody but themselves. On
the slightest social occasion they will
doff their tramp clothes aud disguise
themselves in a swell suit, and wear it,

tie and diamond stud complete e., and then
you'd think they were off to the Queens
