THE POLICY RAID.
Eldridge Scott Demanded n Jury Trial
Other Suspects Dealt With.

Other Suspects Dealt With.
The case Of Eldridge Scott. whose alleged
policy shop on 18th street was raided
Wednesday morning, as published in We'd
nesday's Star was called in the Police
Court yesterday morning and counsel de-
manded jury trial.
Four colored men. Preston Brooks, Charles
Buckner. Peter Lindsey and John Lewis,
suspected Of being implicated in some way
with the business were tried on a charge
Of vagrancy. The testimony Of several
officers was given to show that the men
spent most Of their time in the Division" !"
1t was also stated that they were some
times seen about the alleged policy shop
and that In addition to living in the dis
reputable locality one Of them was en-
ployed in a house of prostitution.
THE officers charge that this defendant
works In house Of prostitution" said
Lawyer Sillers. why don't they raid the
house If the law Is being violated? They
are permitting the very cause Of the evil to
exist"
That is a matter with which the court
has nothing to do" remarked Judge KIM
ball. IF the police raid the places, the
court will deal with the offenders"
Concerning the proof about persons living
in the Division" Judge Kimball remarked,
mo decent man will hang about that To-
cality."
Then" added counsel. ut ought to be
cleaned out"
Certainly 1t ought to be cleaned out"
concluded the court.
Buckner was released on his personal
bonds. upon promise to keep out Of that
section. and the other defendants were re-
qured to give security in the sum Of $50 or
go down for thirty days.

dition to meet the Phillies yesterday. The
latter club stood no chance with Anson's

Baltimore succeeded In winning from

The showing made by Boston in the west
does not speak well for the coming cham

time by Pittsburg. This makes the third

Boston was extremely fortunate in secur-

RECALLING A MAILED LETTER.

A Matter OF Considerable Dimculty,
To recall a letter once mailed is almost
sertion once uttered. says the Springfield
Republican. The sender must appear at
the post Office and is handed a blank to
fill out. In this he must state when and
where he mailed the letter. how IL was ad-
dressed. must describe the envelope. state
the amount OF postpage prepaid ami testify
that the above mentioned letter was writ
ten by me or by my authority and I desire
to recall 1t for the following reason"--and
then state the reason. which is usually,
mailed by mistake" He must then sign
his name. so that the handwriting may be
compared with that on the letter, ana s;yn
a receipt. II the address cannot be shown
to be in his handwriting. or is printed or
typewriter he must describe some De-
culiarities of the envelope sufficient TO
identify 1t. II he is unable TO do this the
letter is refused. unless the postmaster
knows the applicant and is satisfied con-
hed he asks for a statement concerning
the contents. and the applicant is then
obliged to open the letter and read I.or-
tions Of IL In the postmasters presence to
prove that II is the one he described.
But II the letter has been sent away the
process Of recalling II is still more diff
cult. similar blank has to be filled out
and a minute description telegraphed at
the sender's expense to the postmaster at
the Office of its destination. IL discov-
cred in time the letter is then intercepted
and sent to the department at Washington
with a statement of the case. Why should
any one want to recall a letter so much as
TO take this trouble? Well. there was one
case at the local Office recently where a
valuable deed was mailed and the sender
received Information that satisfied him
that the sale should not be made. In TN
other case an important contract was sent
and Information received ,mm ediately after
made 1t imperative that II should be re-
voked.

FIRST-CLASS SPORT,
Meeting of the Amateur Athleti
Union Mt Chicago.

Mee1nx or the Amateur Athletic
Union Mt Chicago.
The athletic meeting given by the ANA
teur Athletic Union at the South side
grounds at Chicago yesterday was a huge
success from an athletic point Of view.
There were some brilliant bits Of work
done, and the sport was first-class.
Stages work in the seventy -fve-yard
dash was grand piece Of sprinting. He
won his trial, second trial and the final heat
all In As. which is within one-fifth Of
second Of the record held by Luther Cary.
s. Liebgold of the Pastime Athletic Club
Of New York took the three-auarter mile
and two-mile events both from scratch,
but the lot opposed to him was too common
to bring out his best efforts. Champion
Sweeney took the high jump from scratch,
clearing feet inch.
The 6OO-yard run produced a desperate
race. The field punched up 100 yards from
home, and Townsend Of Detroit, Fry Of
Pittsburg and Morris, the phenomenal mil
die distance colored champion Of Philadel-
phia, drew away and fought out a desper-
ate race. Townsend won by a narrow mar
gin. while Morris and Fry ran a dead heat

Fry won. The time. LII 3-5. marked u great
performance.
Champion Mitchell took both the hammer

AFTER LORD ROsEBERY.
The Marquis of Queensberry Disposee
In Empioy His Celebrated Rules.


The Marquis Of Queensberry arrived at
London from Paris recently, with the IN
tention of calling Lord Roseoery 10 ac-
count for snubbing him. The marquis
threatens to pummel Lord Rosebery. II
necessary. as he believes his only cnahce VI
showing him I'D, as he calls 1t. is to force
Rosebery to bring him up before the courts
for assault When asked to explain the
cause Of his grievance against Loro Rose
berry, the marquis said:
"when nv son was elevated to the house
of lords. from which / was shut out, !
could only suppose that a direct snub to
myself was intended. l suspected at once
what quarter the blow had come from, ana
nv suspicion speedily became a certainty.
II wrote to the queen. from whom through
Gen. Sir Henry Ponsonby. l received an
answer to the effect that she supposed WIS.,
count Drumlanrigs elevation would have
been gratifying to me. Then l wrot~ TO Mr..
Gladstone. from whose response couid no.

Rosebery was responsible for the slight put
upon me.
"Why should Lord Rosebery have put this
slight upon me?
cause of family influence. Of course! Lord
Rosebery Is related to me by marriage, and
1t is evident he has been acting under the
hand Of my former wifes family.
But I mean to show Lord Rosebery up
and will He escaped me at Homburg by
shutting himself up in his rooms. or never
going out without body guard. and by
having my quarters surrounded by police
men, But still think gave him a moral
black eye. and the time will come when he
will receive a still more effectual one.
II saw the Prince Of Wales one evening
at Homburg. and asked to be allowed to
give him an explanation. He refused to
listen to me then. l said:
"T am going to leave Homburg, your
royal highness. VIII you allow me to write
you an explanation. sir?
"T am glad you are going. Yes, you car

ION the 2Oth ultimo I wrote to his royal
highness. I have not yet received an an.

Although the Marquis Of Queensberry is
reserving the publication Of this letter fol
the day when. in one way or another. he
shall have forced the Earl of Rosebery to
have recourse to the law courts. 1t can now
which occupies four quarto pages consists
Of full statement Of the marquis case
against Lord Rosebery. The writer begins
by stating that he Is availing himself O,
the gracious permission Of the Prince OF
Wales to explain his conduct, and expresses
the hope that his royal highness will, with
his usual sense of justice. acknowledge thai
he is not to be blamed for the course he
