There were only three persons whom the police got after In the early hours yesterday, but was a lively dance anyway.

The half dozen young women who appeared In ights on the big floor at Madison Square Garden got there after 1 A. M. One was Angelina Allen, yclept "Curves." Her attire was too flimsy for even the police, and she was escorted to a cloak-room, where she donned another garment, and then fluttered out on the fioor to enjoy herself. There was plenty of Individual high-kicking, but when i two or'three tried to excel one another the police stopped it. There was an extraordinary exhibition of the vagaries of Intoxication, and never a ball at which so many people fell down.

Part of the time the floor looked like a football scrimmage. There was the usual tossing of women in and out of boxes. One slender young creature In a black page's costume was tossed about like a fan. Late In the evening she was passed from one box to the other along the whole side of the floor. There was less fighting than usual.

One. man had a champagne bot- le broken ovei his head, and he went home looking very bloody; but it wasn't a serious Injury, and he would tell no one who he was. A few young women ost moat of their frocks, and half a dozen fainted. One created a bit of excitement by going Into hysterics and shrieking that she was being murdered. It was too much wine.

Usually the fighting is liveliest after he ball Is over. The crowd that gathers the lobby is anxious to fight for the privilege of seeing certain young women ome. The lobby crowd was fairly sober ast nlglu. Only three arrests were made after the music had stopped. A young woman who was one of the handsomest at the was one of the victims, and a young man whom she said was her "Doc Ex-Attendant P.

"During this period," O'Brien states, "I served on election day at every Congressional election as a United States deputy marshal In the Fourth Assembly District. The fact that I was appointed and served as such was well known to Judge Cowing, and no objection was made by him.

"In the month of July, 1892, ex-Coroner John Nugent, In conversation with me at the Barge Office, told me that was all arranged that Judge Cowing was to get the Tammany Hall nomination that fall, and that he had agreed to turn the Republicans out of his court and give the places to Tammany Hall.

Women are afraid to remain alone, and in many families a male member has left his work and is on guard all day. A Vigilance committee of twelve have been formed, and every night the members tramo through the section looking for suspicious characters. This fright has been occasioned by the wholesale poisoning of watchdogs.

Many residents of this territory live in large houses surrounded by extensive grounds, the houses being quite a distance from the road and from each other. It has been the custom- to keen watchdogs, and the have been blooded amimals. A year over sixty watchdogs were poisoned in a single week, and during the week following almost as many burglaries were committed. Not until too late did the people learn what. the wholesale poisoning meant.

Forty dogs have been poisoned during the past three weeks, and a dozen houses have been brokn into and robbed. Police Capt. Ryan, of the High Bridge Police Station, is receiving complaints of this character every day. He has trade a personal tour, telling people not to be alarmed should they flnd strange men loitering about their grounds. shoot them," was his direction, "for you might kill some of my policemen.

I have fourteen men in citizens' clothes, who are on duty day and night, with instruction to arrest suspicious persons. These men will go into private grounds at all hours. They will show you their shields." Tbe upper part of New York is a splendid field for burglars. Some of the patrol posts are as large as a cowntown precinct. Last summer a mounted policeman sent before the Police Commissioners because the roundsman could not flnd him on duty.

The policeman sjiid soat. WMMR.large Jhat Jf. would- take "twenty-four hours to cover horseback. He had sixty-one miles of streets to look after. The complaint was dismissed! but action was, not taken to remedy evil.

The value 'of the 'con-, tents of these country houses is equal, if not greater, than in thickly populated sections." The High Bridge Vigilance Committee has worked with untiring zeal. During the recent snow storms they traversed- the district on snoWshoes, following all footprints. Many private watchmen have been employed. 1 One recent burglary has had the cifect of badly frightening the women. A masked burglar visited Mrs.

Klioades's house. Her watchdog had been poisoned a few days before. He asked for her husband, and when told he was not in, handed her a note, which read: "If you dare to scream, I'll kill you." As she crumpled the paper In her hand he pointed a revolver at her and made -her go Into her room. Her little boy. In an adjoining room, saw the act and ran from the house.

As he hurried along he screamed for help. The burglar made his escape. Mas. Rhoades fired, a couple ind otter food in Cottolene and there will be no complaint of indigestion dyspepsia. is more more better in flavor than any other shortening.

Several committees have been before the Police Board and have presented petitions for an Increase of the force, but only that from Morrlsania succeeded. They got twenty additional men, and even now the force Is Insufficient.

In Ogden avenue, Wolf street and Bremen avenue many dogs have been pblsoned. Two thoroughbred mastiffs, Captain and Nell, belonging to M. liyons, of. Ogden avenue, were killed; The.stable- nuui found them rolling and howling pitifully. Sweet oil and salt water were glverTthem, but this did not save tTiem.
