Pyromaniac, Threatened. With Lynching.

Virginia hospitality Is proverbial, andthat, in conjunction .with the fraternalfeeling known to exist between the mem-

bers of the order commonly called "Elks,"

resulted yesterday in a reception to the

Lancaster Lodge, of Lancaster, Pa., whichwill be long, remembered by those whoparticipated.;--"

The Lancaster Lodge left home at 1:45

Saturday afternoon.' arriving in Baltimore

about 8 o'clock. Theye were taken- in

hand by their •antlered brothers. of that

city, who showered them with every at-

tention possible. At a late hour they em-

barked in the steamer "Sassafras," es-

pecially chartered for the .occasion,: and

after a rough trip down the bay; they

arrived in Richmond about 10 o'clock

Sunday .night.

The Richmond Lodge, having knowledge,

of their arrival, prepared to receive themwith open arms. Hearty ana "enthusiasticIndeed, was the welcome extended to them

as they marched down the gang-plank at

the steamer at .the Trigg wharf in Ful-ton. Amid loud:hurrahs, the firing of

Roman candles and rockets, and the burn-

ingof red lights, they mingled with theirRichmond brothers, needing no introduc-tion other than that ,mysterious bondwhich makes all Elks brothers.

to '\u25a0 the local lodge .on board the "Sassa-fras," the Richmond Elks left for-their

homes and: the visitors- retired to theircabins to catch a few hours of rest be-fore the rush of yesterday.

Spent a. Busy Day.

Promptly at 9 o'clock the visiting Elkswere escorted over the city in twenty-five

carriages tendered \as a compliment byEsquire -Tom Hicks., They "were shownthe various points of interest in and con-tiguous :to the city. Itwas the first visit;of,the majority of the Lancaster brethrento Virginia's capital,.- and tney expressedgreat surprise at the 'bustle and, activity

of the place. The great tobacco factories.were " inspected- with much interest, as\u25a0was -the Trlgg plants, and . other

"manu-

facturing industires. f .;: jThe .party returned to the boat shortlybefore 3 o'clock,, where they dined.

At 6 o'clock the Richmond . Lodge as-sembled at the corner of Twelftu andMain,streets and, preceded. by the Lan-caster band, escorted tho visitors throughseveral of-. the principal streets to. theGovernor's Mansion, where they were.re-ceived by Governor Montague and Mr.Wendenburg., The latter made a shorttalk, in which he* paid the Governor somedelicate compliments, after which he in-

troduced him.,- .Tlie Governor's Welcome.

The appearance of Governor Montague

was greeted with wild applause. He gavethem a cordial welcome and expressed re-gret that the mansion was undergoing re-pairs, . thus causing him,to forego thepleasure of receiving them within. itsdoors, notwithstanding which, he said,

the hearts and homes of Richmond people

were open to them. He spoke very brief-ly of the connection of Pennsylvania andVirginia, after which each. of the visiting

Elks filed past and were formally intro-duced, :the Governor :giving to each ahearty handshake, while the band played"Dixie," and other patriotic' selections.

The men then fell into line and marchedto the home of the Elks, at. the corner, ofEleventh and Broad streets, where they

Northern Securities Company, George A.Lamb, counsel for Power, admitted thathis client was livingat the Queen's Hotel,

Montreal, under the name of "P. Blake."Mrs. Kate Carry, :the proprietress of-a

hotel at West Hurley, N. V., the place

where Power was last seen, had testifiedto the presence; of Power and his wifeat her place, and to their departure, ac-companied by a man whom she identi-fied as Attorney Lamb.

Witnesses "then told of driving Mr. anaMrs. Power and Lamb. to the Rhinebeckferry.

After Camille Weidenfeld, the broker,had been excused until to-morrow, W.D. Guthrie, of counsel for the defence,asked that Mr. Lamb take the stand.Mr. Lamb asked the privilege.of makinga statement, claiming he had extendedthat same privilege to tho witnesses ofthe defence.

"Mr.-Guthrie said he would;

permit the explanation, provided he wouldexplain his trip to West Hurley and Pow-er's escape to Canada. ;

Power's'Canadian Residence.

"Mr. Power," said Mr. Guthrie, "isliving in the Queen's

"Hotel, Montreal,,

under the fictitious name of P. Blake.""That is true,"- admitted Mr.Lamb, and

then he entered into a long statement.He told.of findingPower at West Hurley

in a highly nervous condition and de-sirous of going to Montreal, to" which -he(Lamb) objected. Power, he, said, prom-ised to come to this city at once, shouldJudge Lacombe decideV that he was Incontempt.

Lamb, "that;no-one "in Wall street darestart an action. Any banker or brokerwho da.red to commence a suit to -combat

Mr. Guthrie then insisted on knowinghow much money Mr. Lamb had paidPower on July 31st last, and for wnat

Tho agent, called and rang 1 the front*;

door bell repeatedly. No one answered,

and he went to the rear of the house and:looked through a basement window. Ther«he saw a man.standing, looking- at thafloor, apparently absorbed in thought.

Suddenly .the man in tho basementlooked up and saw tho agent peering In.

A moment later Bartholin came to tha

rear door and asked the agent what h<rwanted.' The latter replied that he wanUed to sco Mrs. Bartholin.

Bartholin told the agent his mother

was in Milwaukee, and would not. return,

for several days. Shortly after this con-

versation he was seen to leave the house,and the same evening ho called at Min-

nie Mitchell's home. The couple lefft to<gether and the girldid not return; '.

Policeman Wyatt has started in toprove his assertion that gambling

houses were run wide open in the Second

Police District while Captain Angle wasin charge there.."Ibelieve that Iwill bo able to make

convictions," he said last nignt, "Iknowit will be disagreeable to the witnessesIhave summoned, but if they will only

stand by what they have said Iam surethat my charges will be proved."Ihave about thirty witnesses and they

are men who are recognized as men oftheir word, and with their words as goodas their bonds. All that Iwant is forthem to stand by what they have saidalready, and Ifeel sure that convictionswill follew."

Wyatt says he was acting under legaladvice when he did not give up his iist ofwitnesses to tiie police at first. His a-d-vice was that he womd stand a betterchance before the grand jury. He did notrefuse to give his list to the chief, buthe just held it back until last Saturdayand then gave It, which action was fol-lowed by tnat of yesterday, when heswore out and executed against five menthat were said to be proprietors, or part-ners, or assistants, in gambling housesuntil the time when ail the places wereclosed.It seems to be a fight to the bitter end

as far as .Wyatt is concerned. He spentall day yesterday getting his witnesses toprove what he told the police commission-ers two weeks ago. At the investigationof his charges against Captain Anglehe offered to give his; list of witnessesto the Police- Board if the board did notthink that lie had shown that gamblinghad been going on freely in tha Secondprc-cinct, but at the time thero was norequest for that list. The. request camelater, ami thepoliceman held it>up untilhe was ready to proceed to- convict-

Wyatt has been- given all the time hemay need to work up his case. He wasto have gone on duty this morning at 1o'clock, but he has had very little sleepsince Saturday, and he was excused.

His list of witnesses will be. very in-teresting/ Some of them are very well-known men, and men never dreamed ofas having indulged in the .vice of fool-ing with chance. They range from Sun-day-school teachers to bank clerks.

The Police Itneiv.

It is said that Wyatt has evidence toprove that other members of the policeforce knew of the existence of gamblinghouses and nave been In the places.

The death of "Cab" Maddox. the well-known sporting man, is said to have oc-curred! in a gambling house on tho southside of Broad street, over a barber shop

near Murphy/s Hotel. Policeman Schu-maker is said to have been one of themen that went to the gambling roomswhen the sudden death was reported,and Undertaker Bennet is said to havebeen the man. that took the body fromthe place to prepare it"for burial.

That is only one bit of alleged proof. Atthe coroner's inquest in the Clayton

murder the record of the testimony willshow that Clayton was employed in agambling nouse.' This testimony wasgiven by one of i.ie proprietors of theplace. ,It was after the Clayton murder that

the agitation against the'wide-open

gambling houses was started. Then all

the places closed up and it was througn

that fact chat the big gambling parlors

were not raided until the parapherna-

lia was taken away that rumors began

to make investigation of matters in the

Second Precinct necessary.Wyatt is a comparatively new man on

the "force. He is known to be a religious

and clean livingman. Last night he wasmore confident and hopeful than he has

been at any time since the trouble in

the. Second Precinct started.He says he has had some very strong

assurances from some very strong people

and is said to have in his possession

letters that encourage him and that will

make him more determined and obsti-nate than ever in his pressing of thecharge against the former keepers ofgambling houses.

Old Records of Gambling.

In the Richmond Times or February15th, 1593. the files of that paper showan article exposing the gambling housesof Richmond and warning young men ofthe danger of tne places. .

The addresses of a number of the places

are given in i-.at article, namely:

607 east Broad street, over shoe store.307 north Seventh street, over barber

shop.704 east Broad street, over cigar store.913 1-2 Bank street.Fourteenth and Franklin :streets, over

drug store.Next to the corner of Governor and

Franklin streets, over barber shop. .The article closed all the places for,two

weeks, and it is ,said that since thosetwo weeks passed, the places, with theexception of the place at 607. BroacJstreet, have remained open. That placemove across the street.

Some Sudden Arrests. ,' .-

Policeman Wyatt' s reason for declining

to give his list of; witnesses to allegedgambling' in the Second Police Precinctto Chief-of-Police Howard for the Boardof Police Commissioners came out yes-terday when '\u25a0 he served, personally, war-rants on H. Coles Jordan, W. Gathright,

William Phelps, H. Pellegreni. and

Thomas Lyons, charging them .with keep-ing gambling' houses in the Second Pre-cinct within the last twelve months.

\u25a0':\u25a0. The arrest of these ;men was suddenand wholly unexpected.' To friends whohave stood by Wyatt all through 7 theinvestigation of his charges' against Cap-

tain Angle-no "inkling was given" of'

thesensational turn to the affair.

'It:is'.'not

known now -/under., ••whose'-: advice he 'isacting. His object is to prove «his charges

that gambling was carried on almostopenly In the precinct while; Captaiiv
