DEAD In THE STREETS.
Supposed to Have Fallen From a
Window During the Night.

Robert Russell. thirty-three years old,
single man living at No. 400 Henderson
street, was found lying dead on the side
walk under the window of his room
at ten minutes after three this
morning by Policeman Barry. Russell
was employed in the Pennsylvania Iron
Works and boarded with the family of
Thomas Dundon. He had been confined
to his room for the past week with
malaria and a cold and was treated Dy
DR.. Calloghan.
His sickness was not alarming, and
yesterday some slight improvement was
noticed. He was left In cheerful spirits
last night and said nothing about feeling
blue or thinking.
The next known of him was when he
was found dead Dy the officer. He was
only partially dressed. His neck was
broken. The families in the house were
awakened and Mr.. Dundon identified
Russell. The supposition is that he arose
in the night. and being overcome with
weakness, fell from the window, which
was on the first story, to the street.
The body was taken to Faherty's 3
morgue, where it lies awaiting the
county physician.
Russell was a sober and steady man.
He has brother In Brooklyn, who has
been notified.

House TO House POLICY
Gambling Placed Within
Reach of the Poorest.

The swindling of poor women by itin
Grant policy sharks is an entirely new
phase Of the game. The writer's and run
ners, not satisfied with the money they
receive from men who play daily in
shops, have now commenced making a
house to house canvass, and as q result
the poorer classes are being lured into
playing the game. One Lorenzo Jaquins.
runner for q policy shop at No. 307
Railroad avenue, has for the past few
weeks been visiting the tenement houses
in the vicinity of Railroad avenue and
Monmouth street and by alluring tales
of the ease with which large sums of
money might be won induced many wom-
en-, who earn Livelihood by scrubbing
and washing, to invest In the game One
Of Jacquin's first victims was o widow
named Mrs. Masterson, who lives in
within week despoiled of $l5 OF her hard
earned savings by Jaquins.
Net satisfied with robbing these people,
he has been making his brags OF the
ease with which he roasted" them. He
has made these declarations in public
places, and it seems improbable that the
police authorities are not aware Of the
existence Of these dens.. opened for the
purpose only Of robbing unsuspectfng
and foolhardy persons. :.
The shop at No. 307 Railroad avenue is
run by "Sheeny" Solomon. an old policy
.fiend, and one skilled In the business OF
relieving people Of all they possess.
Solomon, finding business slow,
prompted Jaquins to make canvass Of
the tenement houses in the vicinity and.
as it has proven paying scheme, every
policy shop in the city has begun to send
out runners, and at the present rate
homes will be wrecked by the wholesale
by these sharks who openly defy the
police.
The robbery of Mrs. Masterson is only
one instance of the work carried on by
these sharks, and yet the police stand by
with their arms folded and make no
move TO suppress or check these people in
their nefarious work.
JOE QUIRK's TRADE.
Every day, just before twelve o'clock,
and again, just before the offices in the
City Hall close, Joe Quirk can be seen
there collecting plays from the clerks In
the various departments. Quirk keeps q
shop which is located on Henderson
street, between Newark avenue and
Gregory street, directly in the rear Of
Malone's saloon. Quirk. by hustling and
making house to house canvasses. has
built mp a large business and 10 now
making one of the largest books In the
city. Business has improved to such an
extent that he has hired a clerk and hum
dreds of men, women and children can be
seen rushing in and out of this shop.
Directly across the street, and adjoin-
ing the Three Bells" is another shop
run by Gus Priest, aud he also does q
profitable business. taking plays from
children from five to twelve years Of
age.
That these shops should be allowed to
remain open is q disgrace. and the JERSEY
CITY NEWS, thinking perhaps the proper
officials do not know the location or the
policy shops or poke" joints, viii soon
disclose the location of about half hun
dred of them, with view to having them
closed. for the protection of poor people,
who are daily being robbed OF their earn
inQs.
