treatment of a fascinating theme. He

The officers of the Dixon Crueible Com

at the red tape ways of Uncle Sans
government, and they nave come to the
conclusion hat in America can be found
a counterpart of the Circurnlocution De-
partment presided over by Mr.. Tite Bar
nacle. The government owed the Cruci-
Bile Company $500 or Whereabouts, and they
require, before a warrant is sent, a re-
ceipt. In that particular Office the off,
cials had the signatures of Mr.. E.. F. c..
Young, as president Of the ompan and
Mr.. John A. Walker, as secretary and
treasurer. When signing the receipt Mr..
Walker, who is also vice president, sign
ed as such in error for secretary n
treasurer. Back came that receipt from
Washington, pointing out the mistake.
Mr.. Young at the time was out of town,
and Mr.. Walker sent out another re-
ceipt. with the information that as the
president was away he had signed as
vice president. The return mail brought
another letter from Washington, aging
that since President e. p. C.. Young was
way, the constitution and bylaws of the
company must provide for the signing of
documents in his absence, and would not
Mr.. Walker send a certified copy of the
constitution and bylaws? OF course the
copy was sent and Mr.. Walker thought
that his check would come by the next
mail. But he was mistaken. Another
letter came in response, saying that the
officials were convinced, since their pc
rusal of the constitution and bylaws,

RAID ON CANDY STORES.
Chief Murphy Acfa On the Complaint
of a Gifiznn.

~
Two women were arraigned in the First
Criminal Court this morning, before JUS
tice Potts, charged with maintaining
gambling houses. They were:-Rachel
Clip, Of No. rs Third street, and Mrs.
IIarriott, of Newark avenue and Third
street. They were arrested yesterday af-
ternoon by Patrolmen Robinson and
Smlthen, acting under instructions from
Chief Of Police Murphy. Two days ago
Chief of Police Murphy received the fol-
lowing letter, which explains ITSELF
Jersey City, December 10, 1897.
/ take the liberty to inform you of the
crime that is going on in the heart of our
city. / think enough wives are suffering
by gambling from their husbands, and
children up to 1t? Taking q walk the
other day / have seen In three candy
stores large crowds of little boys and
fighting for their turn to put pennies
in the slot machine. One of the stores
is right across the street from st. Mary's
Institute; another is at Third street and
Newark avenue; O third is on Grove
street, near Second street, which, l think,
is the worst, for heard that man was
selling those machines. Now, dear Chief,
knowing you and your activity. I hope
you viii act and tarnp out the danger
before 1t is too far gone for God knows
how many more stores Of this kind ex-
lSt. / would not lNlnk OF TROUBLING you
ever to read the note. il I was not con-
WINGED of it, and that you will not find
it hard to verify.
Wishing you well.
Respectfully yours,
A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN.
On the Information contained in this
letter Chief Murphy sent the two officers
to investigate. They found everything as
described. In both candy stores were
slot machines of cheap manufacture.
Large crowds of children gathered
around them, and were depositing their
pennies in the hope Of getting two, three
or five cents worth of candy in return.
The patrolnen deposited money in the
machines and then arrested the women
in charge OF the stores. From them they
learned that the machines had been pur-
chased of Bartholomew Dighieri who
manufactures them at No. 1892 Grove
street. Captain Kelly arrested him and
charged him with aiding and abetting
gambling. He also was arraigned this
morning. and with the women was held
for examination. These machines are
distributed throughout the city in small
candy stores, most of which are in the
vicinity of public or parochial schools.
Chief Murphy has declared his intention
of Riding the city of them.

The ssEveninc Journals" Eseveia-
Hons.

The revelations made by the "Journa
regarding corruption on the part of the
Assistant Prosecutor of the Pleas are as
startling as they are painful. There have
always been vague suspicious and in the
minds of close observers strong impress
sions that a certain laxity existed IN the
administration of the laws relating to
gambling and liquor selling. But nooooy
dreamed that any other class of onence
was viewed with liberation by any official
of the courts. and still less that pro-
lection could be secured in the commits
sion of any crime short of murder by the
use of money. It has therefore been q
terrible shock to the public and even TO
well informed men of the world to ma
that such an act as the Journal re-
counts was possible.
That the Journal has done a public
service in laying bare this hideous sore,
cannot be disputed, and at a time when II
has lust lone this service, it would be
impertinent to discuss the journalism or
the ethics of such enterprises as that in
which it has embarked. The world has
lust as much need for the ~scavenger as
for the lawyer or the doctor or the news
paperman, and if a great journal chooses
to apply its energies in that capacity, 1t
is a matter between it and its readers
After a careful perusal of the Jour
nails article and after observing the
position assumed by the Assistant Prose-
public can entertain no hope that the
Journals story is untrue or even falsely
colored. We only wish we could enter
tain the remotest idea that there was a
mistake or a libel, but such a theory is
altogether too far-fetched. 1t is not
credible that any newspaper should print
what the journal has printed, without
being, sure of it's ground.
Without the least malice owards Mr..
Noonan or even towards the wretched
little migrate, Simpson. who has been
made all that he is by the newspapers
which he SCOTS at, we feel obliged to ex-
press the desire, which we think the
public shares. that whatever of crime
corruption may be proven in this case,
shall be severely punished, and that the
exposure of the incredible state of things
which has prevailed may result in some
rood to public morals in this county.
The tragedy of this most lamentable
occasion should make it a fearful warning
to young men entering public life. The
wreck of two brilliant careers which
might rave eliminated in almost any
honors, and the suffering and shame
brought upon innocent and unconscious
victims are appalling proofs of the dire
vengeance which Providence always
sooner or later visits upon deliberate
guilt.

young man about certain conduct of
his. Not receiving a satisfactory an
swer, we suppose. she drew genuine
cowhide and proceeded to lay it on
Holman with all her might. She was
doing good job and Holman was try
ing to either take the whip away from
her or prevent her from hitting him,
and in the scrimmage Mrs. Frazier
backed some Is or 20 feet away and
was caught by Holman, when about
this time Theodore Cadle rushed and
caught Holman, and floored that wor-

proceeding to do Holman up, and in
the melee several parties interfered
and the dlsgraceful affair was brought
