ANOTHER POKER DEN.
A Raid Made on Saturday Last and Xiv.
Men Caught.

AAcA AAuEAbs
Sergeant Blackburn accompanied by
four officers Saturday night captured
five men for gambling in the rear Of a
meat stand at Sixth and Madison streets.
The sergeant had learned that q poker
den was kept at that place and took out
warrants for the mems arrest.
Sergeant Blackburn entered the back
door without any notice and saw John
J. Kennedy, Harvey Croker, Claude Hide
bran, George n. Whelen and Taylor d.
Wickersham seated around table, on
which lay box, which contained about
80 In dimes, nickels, ETC., aud engaged
In game Of poker. The sergeant at once
began to read the warrant and told the
me1. who were both surprised aud
startled, that it would be useless
for them to attempt escape, as
officers were stationed at the door to cut
off any hope of escape. He also told the
sen to prepare for little walk as far
as Sixth and Market streets. The men
seeing no other alternative began to pre-.
pare themselves and at signal from the
sargeant the outside officers came in and
each seized a man.
The little company marched In Sixth
street followed by large crowd, who
were all curiosity to learn what had oc-
Cured. As soon as the men arrived Al
the police station they sent out men
hunting bail for them, and they ware
AZ successful in securing the desired
xoOO but Hildebran, who is still at the
station.
People in the neighborhood have
suspected this place for some time, but
none dared to say anything. The woman
who finally did swear ont the arrest was
mother to young man who has lately
taken fancy to the plAce and who some.
times remains there until an early hour
in ths morning The front part or the
house ls occupied by young butcher. The
men who were arrested will be given
hearing before Judge Ball tomorrow

NJ. J. SHARKEY'S FALL.
TENTH WARD COUNCILMAN Ac-
cusED or A FOUL CRIME.

We Admits His Guilt by sIKning His
Resignation W hich is 30 Bs Presented
TO City Council at Its Meeting THURS
day Night.
Michael Sharkey. councilman from
The Tenth ward, will probably resign his
position on Thursday night. The reason
of this is here briefly stated:
On Saturday, May 81, it Ia alleged that
Mr.. Sharkey attempted brutal assault
upon young woman, while delivering
goods.
The Tenth ward Councilman keeps a
bottling establishment at Pleasant and
Harrison streets, and it was while serv-
ing the product Of this establishment
that, it is alleged, the assault was
made
The relatives Of the young woman at
once decided upon means Of reparation
They did not desire to bring suit and
have the case exposed to public trial.
They first intended to demand that Mr..
Shsrkey leave the city, but the delicate
condition Of his wife at that time, ex
pcited their pity in measure and they
relented from this demand.
Since then Mr.. Sharkey has received the
choice Of rssigning his seat in City Coun
ell or being prosecuted to the full ex-
tent Of the law.
1t is understood that he has accepted
the first condition and that his resigna
tion ia in the hands of responsible man
for presentation to City Council at its
meeting on Thursday night.
