Quoted every day, Sunday not except
ed. The officers found Page aud an
other negro named Thomas Bryant and
two white men, Thomas Cleveland and

on which pack Of cards just shuffled
were lying. No money was in sight.
The four were placed under arrest and
locked up, Cleveland being wanted for
an assault on Tip Burke, colored, last
August. The evidence this morning
was to the effect that Pages house was
a sort of rendezvous in which gambling
is carried on continually; that those
who congregate there emerge during
the "wee sma' hours" counting up prof
it and loss, often using language unfit
for ears polite. The accused, when
called on for statements, of course de-
MED the charges, and a material wit
ness being absent the case was con-
