A Disorderly Den.

There is a house at the head of Union street, kept by certain abandoned women, which has become an intolerable nuisance to the neighborhood in which it is located. The complaints from the respectable residents in the vicinity have been loud and deep. It is alleged that a large number of half-grown boys are harbored in the house who occupy their time in stealing for the abandoned inmates and that the coal bins in the vicinity have lately suffered to a certain extent. Soldiers and citizens come in the night and, mistaking the place, bang around at the street doors and tear down the gates of decent people who are so unfortunate as to reside near the disgraceful den. In view of these facts a couple of policemen arranged yesterday morning to pounce upon and "gobble up" everybody in the house. The attack was duly made, but unfortunately the strategy didn't work as well as was anticipated, and all of those who were in the house at the time of the attack, except the proprietress, and a man by the name of Gray, succeeded in escaping. The two were taken before Ald. Duffy and committed to jail.
