NEW YORK, Dec. H.-Capt. Edward
Walsh, of the West Forty-seventh
street police station. has received a
threatening letter. which promises dire
things for his district.

consist in "the low comedy manner

The letter is as follows:
Now there arose up new king

The thfeat to leave Broadway fat on

Mild weather and the curtailment Of
