RAID ON
POLICY PLAYERS

Policy gambling received a blow
on Saturday afternoon when the
police arrested three alleged writ
ers. They we're Joseph White, Jas.
Walls and Mrs. Ellen Durney. In
addition to the three persons ar
rested. Mrs. Walls vas IN the room
when the captain called, but owing
to the condition Of her health, she
was not arrested. Drawings and
other papers connected with lottery
policy were seized aud taken to the
city hall to be used as evidence.
The arrest caused but little com.
ment among the general public as
tor some time past 1t was generally
known that policy was being play
ed IN Wilmington. Among the po-
lice The arrest was more OF sur
prise. The police department knew
that policy gambling was being
conducted in Wilmington. But
there was verv essential point
needed that vas mlssins-evldence.
1t has been easy enough to find
rumors of gambling, but when it
comes down to evidence. it is a case
of same one else saying that such
a condition of affairs existed.
The worst of policy business in
Winning ton has been done by "w ak
ing books The men who collect
the money and distribute the draw
ings aud pay the .hits, are ones
that the police cannot come up with
at the proper time. 1t is easy
enough to say "they play policy
over such and such store, but
none OF the people who talk in this
strain ever come to the front and
give any information that would
help the police in lerrcting out the
alleged gambling.
It the people who are loudest IN
talking about gambling are corner.
ed Tor information, they generally
say that some one else told them
that third party knew all about
the gambling.
Joseph +. White was charged in
the Municipal Court this morning
with being concerned in policy writ.
ing al Inc mouse northeast corner

Captain George Black was the

ing in the book. Some OF the rows
were: l4-4l-T; 3-l3-5S.
| AT the other table two women
were at work on books N the room.
Scrr can't George LYONS testified
he accompanied Captain Black to
the house. White was at the table
when he reached the room. As they
entered Tie house, Wells cried out.
Captain take me aud don't take
the rest. There is no one here but
myself and sick wife The house
is tcnanted by Walls. The bail Tor

Altoona, March 3l.--H. B. Eh!er,
of Harrodsburg, Ly, former popular
singer in an opera company, is heir to
$l5J Ooo through the death of his
mot her. which occurred in Mexico
City, February 20 last. Much romance
is attached to his unexpected good
fortune. Ehler was obliged to leave
the stage through his voice falling
him few years ago. From that time
he has followed the pursuit of trav-
elling photographer, and became en-
tlrely lost to his relatives and close
friends. For the past three weeks he
has been taking porcelain pictures at
l1ollidaysburg, the county seat near
here.
On hearing the news he took the
first train for his home in order to

WITH THE
MINISTERS.

Bishop Coleman will be particular
ly busy during the present week but
that will not worry him. The bishop
is used to moving rapidly. His
friends say that if it was announced
that if the bishop on some particular
day was to preach in Boston In the
morning, Baltimore in the afternoon
and st. Louis in the evening every
one would take it for granted that
the bishop has found some new way
to cover distances, and the statement
would excite no comment.
Many friends of the Rev. G. w.
Prettyman we're glad to welcome him
back to Wilmington yesterday. MIR,
Prcttyman was a resident of VIII
mington some years ago and was

of the First NJ. p. Church, in this
city, will leave tomorrow for the
meeting of the Maryland Annual
Conference at Easton, Nd. Men,
bers of the church in this city are
anxious for his return.
Music lovers have found that the
Rev. Hubert w. Wells, rector OF st.
Andrews Episcopal Church, has one
of the finest tenor voices in the city
and knows how to use it with good
effect. DR.. Wells Is also an admirer
of good buildings and in his discourse
yesterday alluded to the new High
School building as a sign that Will
mington is awake and progressive.
The Rev, Thomas A. McCurdy,
pastor of Central Church, has been
preaching some unusally fine sermons
lately and he is being congratulated
by many persons. Before coming to
this city DR.. McCurdy was known as
"Colonel" McCurdy on account of
the manner in which he organized
his; church services and the great
work they did as result. His
friends here think that he has now
won the title Of "General' McCurdy.
