THR ILLEGAL VOTERS FRAUDULENTLY NATU-
RALIzgD CITIZENS AND THE DEPUTY sHERIFFs.
The illegal voters were out in force yesterday,
but as q general thing confined their operations
to the polls which gave the heaviest Demo-
cratic majorities, and where no Republican
wiudow-book keeper would consider himself
safe in exercising the right of challenge. How
ever few of these unnaturalized citizens APP
peared at the Republican precincts, where they
were taken charge of.
OF these the following were held to answer at
Court =,
ward.
Jacob Klaise, Seventh precinct, Sixteenth
ward.
Thomas Mcdonald, Second precinct, Twenty
fourth ward.
Joseph G. Powell Second precinct, Twenty
fourth ward.
Thomas Mullen, First precinct, Twenty-sixth
ward.
Jacob Harrington, Seventh precinct, Four
teenth ward.

unaware of the duties of the posi-.
tion to which they had been elevated
and, as matter of course, were the ones who
were the most capable OF creating the most
serious disturbances. First on the list comes
Joseph Flanagan, who shot the lad Perkins, at
the polls at Front and Otter streets
The recovery OF the injured boy being in
doubt, Flanagan will have o. hearing at the
Central Station this afternoon, The chances
now are that this murderous individual will be
tried for his life. An important piece OF eyl-
dence against him is, that some time since he
made threats that he would shoot a policeman.
Next on the list is the fellow Hamilton, who
was shot by Policeman Swain, in the southern
part OF the city. His attending physician pro-
nounces his recovery i'm possible, as he has been
unable to extract the ball, which has lodged in
his neck. If death were to ensue the police
would hereafter be saved considerable trouble.
Samuel Alloway and George Former were de-
tailed for duty in the Eighteenth ward. Their
conduct became lntolerable, and they were
arrested and taken before Alderman Eggleton
who held them Tor trial.
