Sheriff Lyle of Philsdelphia did bis
utmost, on Tuesday last, by swearing in
three Thousand special deputies, to place
the election polls in the hands of the
Democratic bruisers and roughs imported
from New York and Baltimore, and to
force in as many illegal and fraudulent
votes as possible. The Courts interfercd
SO far as to declare that the Sheriff had
at most no more than concurrent jurisdic-
tion with the Mayor, and directed Lyle
to keep hands of under pain of punish
ment. The three thousand deputies,
however, were on hand, aud were active
in all the Democratic wards. Among
them we're some of the most notorious
bruisers and rowdies of Philadelphia =
The Inquirer of Thursday, speaking OF
Lyle's attempt to subject the polls to the
power Of such men, says:
Two OF the Sheriff's deputies are uu
der arrest charged with the murder OF
two brothers in the Second Ward.
Que of the Sheriff's deputies is under
arrest charged with an attempt to pro
ducs the death of = boy, shot at Front
aud Otter streets, This boy has since
died from the wound inflicted by the
Sheriff's deputy.
One of the Sheriff's deputies, shot in
consequence Of an attack made BY him on
police officer at Fifth and Carpenter
streets, is liable to arrest for riot and as
sault.
One Of the Sheriff's deputies is under
arrest for sssaulting voters, and attempt
ing to shoot q citizen at Ninth and Sau-
SON streets.
Six OF the Shsrif's deputies are under
arrest for disorder and rioting in the
Eighteenth Ward.
Two of the Sheriff's deputies are un
der arrest for disorder and rioting in the
Sixteenth Ward.
One of the SherifTs deputies is under
arrest for disorder and rioting in the
Fifteenth Ward.
Twenty of the Sheriff's deputies are
under arrest for disturbance OF the peace
and rioting in the Twentieth Ward.
Six of the Sheriff's deputies are under
arrest for disturbance of the peace and
riotiug in the Twenty.sixth Ward.
Two of the Sheriff's deputies arc un-
der arrest for disturbance of the peace
and rioting in the Nineteenth Ward.
These are instances in which the afro
cious character Of the proceedings OF
members of the Sheriff's posse were SC
gross that the public interest required
their arrest There were numerous in.
stances of misconduct in tho force which
were allow to 20 by without attempt tc
arrest the perpetrators.

Death of James Rafferty,.

As will be seen, on reference TO our obit-
uary column, we tlis week announce the
death of our long time friend, Mr. James
Rafferty,. 1t is with the most sincere regret
that we accept this duty, foran intimate ac-
quaintance and intercourse with the deceas-
ed, commencing in 1910 and continuing un-
til the day of his death, stands unmarked by
a single jar, or single painful recollection.
Mr. Rafferty, was one of the founders and first
publishers of the Monroe Democrat. and from
about the year 1886 until the year l647,
conducted it with marked ability, and with
acceptance to his party. A faithful defender
of his political faith, as we endeasered to be
of ours. it was often our lot to differ, yet we
always found him fair and gentlenanly an.
tagonist; and others of those days now liv-
ing will, with US, remember his genial good
nature and general goodness Of heart. A
bout The year lS47, he joined with Miffln
Hannum in the publication of the Allentow n
Democrat, but severed the connection. after
year or two. and moved to New York,
where he followed his calling Of printer
From thence he moved to Wikssbarre, and
rcms ined in connection with the press, and
official employment, until failing health
admonshsd him to seek its restoration amid
the pure air of Monroe county's familiarand
much loved hills and Wales. But good health
was 10 be no more for him on earth. A few
short weeks among us, and our friend, AZ 9
tired mRn lies down TO rest, started on hi,

to reap a Christians reward in that far bet.

The Fair.

The Ninth Annual Fair of the Monroe

On Thursday morning the storm held up.
and by noon the general aspect Of the wea-
iher was such as to light up the faces and
prospects of all. and soon, especially among
tbe side showmen and bucksters, babel broke
loose, and the Fair was in full blast.
Friday was fine day. and ''the big day."
and the presence of thousands made il appa.
rent that the interest of the people in the
Society, its Fairs and it object. had not aba

and all coming Fairs, would meet liberal
patronage.
