CURLEY'S CAPTURE.
Successful Social of the ST. Edwards
Cub.
Interesting Events In The North End--An
Officers Story.

One OF the most unassuming members
of the police force at the Second station is
officer thomas J. Curley, and yet last
night he made one OF the most import
ant captures ever made in his district. He
heard tnat a man named Joseph Gilmore
had tried to enter the house of Joseph
Whelden, corner of Thurbers lane and
Branch avenue. officer Curley started
On investigation and he found his man
in an clubhouse and brought him to tae
station. There Gilmore was at once rec
ognized by Lieutenant Murray as the fell
low who some years ago cut officer Boss
with a razor on the face on Washington
street. The cut on the officer's face was a
bad one, and he will always bear the
mark of IL. There 10 nc doubt that Gil
more last night was determined to steal
and the capture OF him so promptly must
20 TO the credit OF officer Curley.
1t Is stated by persons who are & ,ue-
rally well posted in what 10 going ou In
WansKuck. that Farrell Higgins, the hero
OF the chase last Sunday night, has en-
tered com plaint against constable Nc
Ayoy, which will be tried next Tuesday.
IT WAS A JOLLY TIME.

who the best PythiaB In Wanskuck was,
there Is NJ doubt the reply would be

the lboys and their lady friends a delight
ful deception at bis home on Branch ave-
nue. Thursday evening. There was good
music for dancing, a fine arrangement OF
lights on the lawn and q feast that
would have teen worthy of a royal
party, but brother Hainsworth says no
royalty can touch his brothers OF the
PytDiau faith, and he proves that he be-
leves his statement by his deeds.

Club held the third of series of enter
tainments and 1t, like its predecessors,
was a big success. There was to have

joyment McConpell's orchestra furnished
