ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.I
NEW YORK, November 16.-Late this
afternoon Detective Connor and Officer
Schlattman, of the Eldridge street station,
found 80 battery cells and complete tele-
graph outfit in a three-story room of
115 Chrystie street, and took the complete
outfit to the station house. The woman who
owns the house rented the room on Saturday
to two men, whose names she did not learn.
The rooms were unfurnished, and all the
strangers had with them was a barrel, two
chairs, and table. They spent great deal
of time in their room, and the landlady's
suspicious were aroused. She informed the
police, and upon examination it was found
that the men were evidently expert
telegraph operators. They had set
up their batteries, arranged the table with a
grounding peg and sounder, then run the
wires out the window and tapped the West
ern Union wires. What their object was
nobody seems to know. When the messages
had been read the switch was turned and the
message was sent on its way,
The police think that the wires were
tapped in order that the men might secure
early news from the races, and so beat the
poolrooms. Some of the batteries we're pur-
chased from J. H. Bunnell, 10S Liberty
street. and were addressed to Frank Muir
ray. No arrests have been made.
