the arrest of the proprietor, eleven wit
nesses and the capture OF cards, dice and
poker chips.
The place has been under suspicion for
long time and the police have twice before
laid plans to raid it. but were prevented
by bad weather, the object being to catch
as many people as possible and the largest
attendance is on clear nights. The order
was sent out last night from information
turned in by Detective Thomas p. Hartigsin
that the place was in All blast. and that
the cIink of the ivory chips was echoing in
the court. Policemen Estes, Haynes, Ma
Nance, Gibson and Langley assembled at a
convenient corner. They surrounded the
house and Hartigan, with two policemen,
entered.
They found several poker games in
progress, and although considerable eX-
citement followed and several of the pla yers
attempted to escape. all were arrested with
little difficulty. The wagon was called
and the crowd taken to the station. The
names of the witnesses, all of whom are
colored, follow:
Daniel Kelton, Samuel Brooks, Martin
Mccoy. James Spencer, Thomas Triplet,
Thomas Murray, James Edwards, Thomas
Brown, Alfred Ennis, Armisted Jones and

MRS. GRETTIN, ENGINEER.
She Can Run an Engine As Well as
Her Husband.
Philadelphia Press.

Mrs. Elizabeth Grettin follows the most
decidedly masculine work. She is a sta
tonary engineer, not only in theory, but
In practice, proud oc her license, from the
city, board, and more proud of her ability
to handle any engine in the city Mrs.
Grettin's husband is a practical engineer,
and IL was from him that she ostained her
first Instructions in the peculiar work
which she loves. While admitting that it
would be suitable for very few women,
she says she cannot understand why more
do not practice it. ii was inclination, not
. necessity, which prompted her TO take it
up. She claims to have done everything

on the inside OF the boiler. She says that
she has never found it necessary to make
the slightest change in her clothing. while
SO engaged. She has made all OF her
wearing apparel, taking entire care of an
engine, and has done her own house work
at the same time, being always in perfect
health.
In spite of the fact that Mrs. Grettin
may possibly take the civil service ex-
animation, and that she feels quite able
and willing to enter the race with men,
Mrs. Grettin has great dislike to any
thing "mannish.' Her first position was
in theater, followed by a situation in
a panorama building. But the work of
which she is proudest, and that which
first brought her into public notice, was
that of engineer of the Woman's build
ing during the Worlds Fair. She has
never asked for help in her work, she
says, and the stron gest thing in her
character is sef-reiiance.

Many OF them are sustaining life on one

SENT THEIR BOOTY HERE
New York Police on the Trail of
Stolen Jewelry.
Capt. O'Brten of the Detective Force
Thinks Diamonds Were Disposed
of in This City.

Stephen O'Brien, acting captain of the
New York detective bureau thinks that at
least some of the booty secured by burglars
In their recent iewelry raid in that city has
been disposed of in Washington. Yesterday
he telegraphed police headquarters 10 this
effect.
Just how the New York chief got his
impression, the sleuths here do not know.
They are rather inclined 10 believe that it is
more of an impression on the part OF Capt.
O'Brien than an understanding. 1t is
rather difficult thing, say the Washington
detectives, to "shove'' foreign stuff in this
city. The town is too small and the pawn
shops too closely under surveillance. The
game has been worked before but so far as
known, not successfully, though some of
the detectives make the point that when
the plan had been operated successfully
they would not know of it.
The property which the New York police
are in quest OF was stolen at New York on
January 1 but whereand ho W the New Y ork
chief does not say. The people at Wash
ington headquarters are reticent about
the matter, but last night they looked
carefully through the daily pa wnbroker re-
ports and today will make a diligent search
through the pa wnshops and loan offices. 1t
said by Capt. 'Brien that all advances made
on the stuff will be paid by the owner.
Police headquarters refused to give out
last night description OF the articles
wanted, but the description follows:
Gold H. c. watch. Lange, maker. Move
ment, 1873.
Yellow gold chain, long links. Tiffany,
maker.
Diamond ring, red gold, seven diamonds.

Diamond ring, yellow gold, four stones.

he has just contracted for several hundred
bales of hay and intends TO furnish II TO any
of the owners who are not able to purchase
the necessary food for their horses.
1t tlacked fully half an hour of dinner time
when the man from The Times landed at the
st. Asaph station. As lie strolled up the
platform the savory odors that assailed him
from the open kitchen door were tempting
enough to give dyspeptic an appetite big
enough to enable him 10 eat twentysix
course dinner.
A hasty peep at the interior of the kitchen
disclosed Bailey in TIE act of inspecting a
pot pie, the chief ingredients of which were
several dozen sparro ws which the boys had
bagged with an old muzzle loading gun anda
free use of powder and shot.
THE COOKS WARNING.
"Git away from dar, white man, and wait
until de dinner am ready" called George
who was acting as Eailey's chief cook and
bottle washer.
wait ah minute, dar," said Bailey, as
started to move away, "just TEX ah peep
at dat sparroo pie, honey. Amt dat a
peach?'"
1t was acknowledged that it certainly
made very tempting looking dish and if
1t tasted half as good as it smelled it gave
promise of being a peach of the first
water.
Ihe Times man expressed unbounded ad-
| miration for the "sparroo pie and even
Georges heart softened and he extended
| sweeping Invitation to taste dat dar
soop.'
The soup in question was being made in
an enormous pot that looked as If it would
hold enough to feed small sized army.
The liquid in it was bubbling away at
great rate and every once in a while when
either Bailey or his understudy, George,
would lift the cover 70 inspect the contents
the steam would rise up in great columns.
"Talk bout you soop at de Rawlee and
Hoarvey's," said Bailey, waving huge
spoon in the air by way of emphasizing his
remarks, why, deed child, it can't tech
dis soop. Dis am de kind a soop you hears
tella bout, but you don't but very seldom
see. Amt dat de troof, George?"
Deed an amt you's talking right, now"
answered that worthy, rolling his eyes
beavenward and shifting at the air in a
satisfied manner. "Dis soop is-is-soop,
an dat amt no lie."
Satisfied that the powers that be in
the kitchen would sooner: or later turn
out dinner fit for the gods, the reporter
sauDtered into the private office to have a
little talk with Mr.. Creighton.
COUNTING THE GAME.
The. whole st. Asaph gang was there
busy counting up the number of sparrow
heads that had been collected in the course
Of the morning. A gentleman in the vi
cinity of the track is anxious to extermi-
nate the little English fellows and pays
1-2 cent apiece for every head turned
over to him. gs

SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.

DO Not Be Alarmed. Blu, Look for the

Heart troubles. at lea ST among Americans,

OF American business life, il is more often
the result OF weak stomachs, of poor diges-
ton.
Real, organic heart disease is incurable;
but not one case in Il hundred OF heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both orga us
are controlled by branches of the same grea t
nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneunlogastric.
In another way, also, the beart If affected
by that form Of poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food, there is a feeling of oppression and
heavincss III the chest caused by pressure
of the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arises palpifation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
makes 1t thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation OF food
This can best be done by the regular nsc
