 Work at tho Hub.

 The chief is resident of the Northend, and Is known at the Northend station.
 Capt. Cain of that police division states that he has the names of forty-two mem. bers, and i. well posted regarding the pro- ceedings of the organization, although he might find it difficult to produce in court evidence to convict them of the commission of any of the petty crimes with which he has known the members to have been con- nected.
 The members are active in passing coun- terfeit money. Within three days it has become known that large package ot counterfeit ten cent pieces recently came from New York to a member of the order here, and that some of the pieces have been put in circulation by a banana vender. The saloon before mentioned will be closed as soon as it's license expires.
