WEST CHESTER, PA, Aug. l9.-The
Republican ring, in which Uongr 4ssman
Darlington and County Chairman Snyder
were two of the leading spirits, was greatly
agitated to-day By the publication Of the
following letter, which by chance f-il
into the wrong hands:
At the general election one year ago By
concentrated action We were abe to defeat
the slated candidate, Thomas b. Butler, for
additional law judge. and thereby scored q
substantial ylDt5rY toward crushing out
boss rule IN Oh ster county.
By the same concart OF action this yeAr
we can achieve an even greater victory II
every man who voted against Butler will
turn out ut the primaries and use his vote
and Influence to secure the nomination OF
the candidates named below, the most OF
whom were true to US one year ago, and
who are by all means the most available
men upon whom we can unite.
Please keep this strictly confidential and
work with US quietly, in order that no one
may know what we are doing
by order Of the Committee.
Accompanying this was a ticket, the
names on which were published some
time ago. The circular is supposed Il
have emanated from Major L. g. Nc
Osuley, Colonel Gallagher and their po
litical friends, and will I'D 1 greatly TO the

4 Scheme by which connecticut
Jewellers Have Made Money.
BRIDaEPoRr, CONN, Aug. ia day
Or two ago Prosecuting Attorney Cham.
certain OF this city sent notices to several
jewellers and other persons here who have
bsen running watch clubs" notifying
them that they must discontinue business
at once.
About year ago watch club" was
formed in this city. II was such sue
CESS that several more were organized.
The scheme is to secure 35 or a greater
aumber of persons to club together.
Each pays in 81 week and each week
there is drawing, and the person who
holds the lucky number gets a watch.
The dealer who manages the club thus
sells one watch each week to each club,
receives good price for the watches and
makes money rapidly.
Time and time again persons who have
taken a membership in the different
clubs, and who have paid in for many
weeks without being fortunate enough
to secure watch, have appealed
to the prosecuting attorney. Mr..
Chamberlain proposes to prosecute
the organizers of the watch club
schemes, under the provision in the
statute OF the state in relation to lotteries,
games OF chance, &C., and says he has
determined to stop the business, as Q
great many boys and men who work In
the factories about the city have thus
lost money. In New Haven the com.
plants became so numerous that City
Attorney Daily was Obliged to take the
game steps as hps been taken by the
officials Of this city.
