 Town Saloon Raided and Men Caught
 Drinking Also Argested.
 As result of the new law in refer ence to illegal liquor selling, enacted at the recent session of the General as- sembly, eighteen arrests were made by the members of the local police depart ment yesterday and all will appear in the city court this morning, the first victims of the new law. Among thls number are eight men who were found in the act of drinking in one of the sa- looms raided.
 The most important capture of the day was that made at Lighthouse Grove. For several weeks past complaint has been made that the law was openly vio- lated in and around the grove, and that intoxicating drinks were being dispens- ed as openly as water. In view of these circumstances the police determined to break up the practice if possible, and as the new law backs the authorities up in every particular it was decided to try the workings of it yesterday.
 Accordingly about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon two hacks were driven into the driveway in the rear of police head quarters and Sergeant Driscoll and Pa trolmen c. J. Eagan. c. O. Bowers, Gates, Sessler, P. Roche, Good and Me Dermott entered and were driven away
 apidly in the direction of the east shore The curtains on the hacks were drawn tight so as to prevent the passengers on the electric cars seeing who were the occupants of the hacks and arriving at the grove before the hacks give away the intended raid.
 Luck was with the raiding party, how ever, and they were enabled to accom- plish their mission without any bitches in the program. On the city side of Tomlinson bridge the party fell in with a funeral procession, consisting of a hearse and four or five hacks, going in the direction of the grove, and immedi- ately fell in line, thus forming appar- entity part of the funeral procession. When the funeral procession arrived near the grove the two rear hacks drop ped out of line and were driven at a rapid gait to Gillen & Quinn's saloon at Lighthouse Grove. The officers imme- diately got out and were for moment
 nonplussed to find the saloon tightly closed. Their astonishment, however, lasted for only few moments, for jus, Ix. ,y,, v, of trees was a fully equipped bar,
 where there were also a number of bar tenders dispensing liquids to a thirsty horde.
 The officers immediately went to the place and placed the proprietors of the place, Patrick Gillen and John Quinn, and four tenders, James Nugent. Pat rick Quinn, William Connors and Charles Connors, under arrest. A short distance further on another bar was dis covered, over which Michael Pagter and
 Simon Goldstein presided. Here, In ad- | dition to a quantity of lager, were found number of tickets bearing the letters "Y. H. F." The two men were | also arrested. They claim that they were members of a Hebrew society
 known as the Young Hebrew Frater- nity," and that no liquors were sold to
 any one, but were only given to men- bers of the club, who were at the grove | on days outing, and only to those who had the tickets stamped ". H F."
 1 All the men were put into the hacks
 and brought up to police headquarters
 land locked up, charged with violation of the Sunday liquor law. They were subsequently, released under bonds of $200 each.
 The Grand avenue police also held their end up in good shape. Patrolnan Clancy, Toronto, Gates and P. Roche went to Charles Totherglll's saloon at G7 Water street and found him and his
 bartender, Robert D. Byers, dispensing i liquid refreshments to eight thirsty
 men, the majority of whom were sail
 ors. All hands were arrested and lock- ed up, charged with violation of the liquor law. The eight men who were
 caught drinking, and who gave the
 names of Charles A. Ferry, Timothy | Duane, William A. Raffuse, Thomas
 Farrell, Michael Nolan, William Andris Henry Ehrensperger and Henry Bour- l. ry, were also arrested and locked up Tn | default of bonds of $50 each.
 These are the first victims of the new law, which provides a penalty of s7 and
 costs each or thirty days In jail, or both for any one caught drinking in a place during illegal hours. The bonds fol ITothergill and Byers were placed at s20t
 each All subsequently, secured bonds
 and were released, but will be arraign-
