SLIPPERY JOE.

Joseph f. Dobler, Bellaire character
who has obtained nOtoriety heretofore
for some crooked transactions, among
them being an attempt to swindle th'
Arbuckle Coffee Company out of severa
thousand dollars few years ago, got in
to trouble again last week by using the
mails for fraudulent purposes. Las
month Joseph came to this place and
from the records in the Clerks Office OBJ
tanned list of fees due various parties
and which had been covered into the
county treasury. Among those TO whom
the money was due were John A. Grove
Jas. Waddell, John F. Shepherd, James
Plummer, and others. Armed with this
information Dobler sent letters, enclosing
lists of cases and fees due in each case, to
attorneys here, among them c. W. Carroll.
J. W. Shannon, Wilson Mitchell, Jas. F.
Charlesworth, and WV. Campbell, direct
ing them to draw from the Clerk the fees
named and remit to Louis Brown
Bridgeport, "Jane Given" West Wheel
ing, etc, retaining 81 90 for their trouble.
Checks or money orders were sent by the
attorneys-S7 80 in one case, Sl3 30 in
another, $40 Is in another, and SO on, and
Dobler would forge the name of the party
to whom they were drawn and receive the
money. Judge Gaston's attention was
first directed to the matter and he notifi-
ed Postmaster Ryan, who worked up the
case, and succeeded in catching him on
Friday through a registered letter which
he sent to Bridgeport. He was detained
at that place by Officer Stuff until Deputy
L. s. Marshal Devine, of Wheeling, took
him in charge, and brought him before
e. S. Commissioner J. F. Tallman in this
place. While waiting in the Probate
Judges Office the arrival of Postmaster
Ryan, who was to make the necessary af-
fidavit, and who had gone to Bellaire to
make search of DIS house, the prisoner
slipped the officer land secreted himself
under the stairway in the basement
of the court house. The Marshal, con-
cluding be had lost his game, went to the
evening train, leaving word with the
Sheriff to lock up the prisoner if he was
found, until Monday. Later he was dis
covered and taken to the Jail by Sheriff
Foulke.
Mr.. W. V. Campbell, who was one OF
the victims, not being satisfied with his
incarceration without process. concluded
to swear out a warrant before Esquire
Alexander against Dobler under the State
law for obtaining money under false
pretense.' The warrent was placed in
the hands of Constable Ferren, who took
the prisoner from the Sheriff before his
Honor, who held him in 500 for his ap-
pearance, Christopher Millitzer, with
whom Dobler had been boarding when
in town, going his surety. Joseph was
not long in shaking the mud of st. Clairs-
vile from his feet after this occurrence,
and his surety and U. S. officers are now
in the soup. Mr.. Dobler was seen be-
tween Bellaire and Bridgeport Tuesday.

A RAID ON CHINATOWN.


A Notorious Celestial Quarter in New
Police.
NEW YoEK, Oct. 21.-All was calm as
usual in the Chinese quarters early In
the evening. About $3.50 lot OF stall
wart men entered the three streets
which contain the greater part of the
Cinnamon of this town. They came
from different directions in small
bodies, but stopped as if by magic at
the same moment some distance apart,
Nine, who had marched down the Bow
cry in military style, stopped on Doy-
er street just west Of the Bowery.
Nine more stopped in Pell street at
about the same distance from the Bow
cry. Six men struck Pell street just a
little above its junction with Doyers.
From that moment until $50 o'clock
Chinatown was in ferment. The
white women who live with Cinnamon,
and whose antics had caused complaints
from the poor respectable tenants of the
neighborhood, frightened by the ap-
pearance of the detectives, ran out into
the streets like rats from house afire.
Only there they found themselves in
what the French story writers would
call "Cul-de-sac." Attempting to get
away from the police in the houses they
ran into the police at the intersections
of the streets and were arrested as dis
orderly persons.
Chinatown had seen many raids, but
none like this. There was no one but
an old Chinaman in the basement of
No. Doyer street, but nine women
were found on the upper floors. In the
rear of the first floor the rooms had
been cut up into little closets. Each of
these had wide bunk, and each bunk
was occupied when the detectives came
in. There was no ventilation, and the
Fifty-Seven Women Captured.
In all fifty-seven wome en- and girls
were captured and marched back to the
station. some were very pretty and limo
cent looking, but most were neither. Il
took about two hours to take all the pedi
grees. After they were locked up they
kept singing and shouting until the cap
tain threatened to turn the hose or
