VICTORY IN CAMDEN.

The Republicans Garry the Day-They Have n
EIniOrIty Ia Common CounclI. Boards of
Education uud chosen FrcchOIders TheY
Also Win the OGice of CITY solicitor and City
Surveyor.
Our friends over the river polled heavy vote
in the election yesterday. The aggregate vote
for Mayor last year was 32l5, while the vote for
the same official yesterday was 56j3, an increase
of 243S votes, nearly n per cent. The canvass
was exceedingly well contested, and eacn party
strained every nerve to win victory. The Re-
publicans came Off best, however the majority
tor Samuel NJ. Gaul being 143. They also elect
Charles Cox for the office of Recorder aud in
the Boards of Chosen Freeholders and of Edu-
cation they have secured majorities. In Com
mon Council the vote will stand 10 Republicans
and Democrats, handsome maj aiority, which
will insure the election of City Solicitor and
City Surveyor, those officers according to the
new charter, being elected Gy that body.
For the Office of Receiver of Taxes, however,
our Republican friends did not do justice, A. c.
jackson, the Democratic candidate for that po-
sition, beating John Smith, Jr., by over two
hundred majority.
The election passed off very quietly. Several
attempts at LiIliputan rows were made, but
they had q small ending. A crowd at the pre-
cinct house at Second and Spruce streets began
husting the colored voters just as the polls were
closing last evening" but no bio VS. were struck.
colored man, a quick learner in the ways of
sin, named John Cannon, was arrested in the
afternoon for attempting to vote illegally, he
being under age. He was taken before Mayor
Cox and was held to answer. The Fourth ward
like its twin-brother in Philadelphia, is Demo
cratic section and in this delightful neighbor-
hood the unterrlfed are accused of having
played the game which our Philadelphia friends
know so well, viz, repeating. The Democrats
ran in twenty-five votes of that class, and the
Republicans talk of throwing out the entire
precinct.
The vote for Mayor will be found in the an
neXed table,

Special Despatch 10 The Euening Telegraph
4 wv AsHINGToN, March 1b.-The result of the cleo
tion in New Hampshire is the theme of comment
among the members of both houses to-day. the
Democrats are very jubilant. Mr. Rldridge, OF Wis
consln, gave notice that tomorrow he would intro
duce bill to suppress tile
Kn.lxlux In New Hampshire
This created derisve laughter on the Democratic
side, and Butler said he would accommodate the
gentleman by taking charge of New Hampshire in
h s liu.klux bill. The defeat has taken the admins
conduct OF Senator Patterson, who indirectly as
sailed the policy Of the administration on the San
Domingo and Joint High Commission matters
the stump Senator Chandler and others say Pat
terton must be held responsible.
lChe General Impression
seems TO be that the defeat of the Republicans
caused by the action of the Senate in removing Mr..
sumner thereby demoralizing his friends in the
Granite State.
1t is feared that
Conn ecticut Will Follow the Example
Of New Hampshire on the1st OF April:
The Deuo ocrats in the House are nlibustering to
prevent Butler from reporting his
Ku-tIux Bill.
They have already made several motions TO adj
jourD, uFOn each OF which they called the yeas and
the Republicans will stand by the decision of
their caucus last night in favor of the introduction
Of MIR. Buffers bill. If the Democra keep up the
fight it will be dilcut for Butler to get the bill be-
fore the House.
The State Department has despatch from Kings
ton which states that the
san Domingo CommIssIoners
Will Fail for home on Thursday or Friday. They
expect TO make the run TO Key West in couple Of
days. The Tennessee will probably put into Charles
ton where the commissioners Will abandon her, and
come home by rail, arriving here the last Of next
week.
Some Of the Presidents friends are advising him
not to ask the acton Of Congress on San Domingo
till next December.
They think it best that the report of the commits
sion should 90 to the country, and If it shall meet
the popular approval there win be better chance
of the Senate confirming the treaty for the anneXa-
ton Ifit is not approved they tbnk the President
will imporil the administration by attempting to
force il through the Senate.

and an alarm was sounded; but as some of the old
companies did not respond with their customary
zeal, another alarm was sounded. But there
was no sprightly response. The fire was soon
extinguished. At 40 another alarm was
sounded. As these efforts were not successful,
the incendiaries moved farther down town, in
the very heart of the domain of the ''unterri-
fed" and built fire in q newly painted and
unoceupied house at Ninth and Christian
streets. Here there was somewhat of the old
zeal. The 'b'hoys" assembled with speed;

although a bucket full of water we'll
applied would have DESTROYED the fire,
which was languishiug under the cellar
stairs. The Windows were smashed,
the doors burst in, and the building
damaged TO the extent of half its value. Then a
scrmmage ensued, and spanners and horns and
clubs were piled in lively style until, exhausted
and bloody, the volunteers dispersed. An effort
was made to send the ''Moya" on a wild-goose
chase about town, and the alarm-box in their
house was sounded at AS, 4'50 5'25 and Cos

This Court is yet engaged with the trial of the
case Of the First Reformed Presbyterian Congrega-
tion. Crowds upon crowds OF CoVenanters attend
daily and the earnestness with which the fight is
waged can be likened only to the persistency with
which the famous old Scotch psalmist clung to theI
faith through persecutlonsand martyrdoms. In the
dayg of the staunch old saints of this sect every-
thing was white and blue, and nothing OF the lOir
was countenanced; but in this enlightened age we
find their children and linea representatives refer
ring their ecclesiastical troubles to twelve laYmen,
holding most probably as many different religious
beliefs, and of them respectable descendant OF
Ham. The case of the plaintiffs has yet given no
indications Of drawing TO a conclusion, and If the
rumor be true that the defendants have subpDnaed
2oO witnesses, a long summer campaign may be
expected. The evidence so far taken, which is
excited meeting was held ia the church, and the
present new hoard OF trustees was elected, unu-
sua precautions being taken to secure fair express
sion of sentiment, each voters name being
rded. Much dissatisfaction with the result pre-
vailed. At the next meeting the new board
organized and were threatened with Imprisonment
for taking possession of the lecture room. 1t was
said that on this occasion Mr. George II. Stuart
very bitter against the new Trustees. On the
following Sabbath new locks found on the
church doors, and the feeling grew in intensity
until the separation occurred.

TELEGRAPH-PHIlA ADELPHlA WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1915

A YOU'VE CoLoRED WOMAN CHARGED
WITH Acknowledgement Evans, young
colored woman OF twenty years, will
be brought up before Alderman Kerr
this afternoon to answer for the grave crime of
arson, which she Is said TO have committed yes
terday afternoon in the dwelli lg, No. Al North
Eleventh street. This house is occupied by
Benjamin Alloway and a Mr. Rose, and is
owned by Mrs. Emily Fry. The girl, Rebecca
was employed by Mrs. Alloway as a servant.
Yesterday, 1t is alleged, she took the oppor-
tunity, when her mistress was out to enter her
room and ransack the bureau, wherein she found
a pocket book containing $50. To hide her
crime, she did what many q criminal in her DO
sition before has done, set fire to the things in
the bureaus then at a moderate pace, so as to
avoid suspicion, went down stairs and declared
that she had an errand to attend to. Once out
she became extravagant and the money so lily
gained went fast. She invested in a new
dress which she intended wearing
TO a ball, and expended the remnant of the
funds, after supplying herself and family with
fnery, in the purchase of a present for her
lover. Mrs. Rose, during Rebecca's absence,
discovered the fire, which, when extinguished
revealed to her the theft The affair was at
once communicated to Fire Marshal Blackburn
and bis suspicious being directed against the
servant girl, he took her into custody. She sub
sequently made confession of what she had
done to Detective Gordon.

THE SUMNER CASE.
Wendell Phillips sumner and the South
Cbnracteristic Moderation.
LI...a ia Aas aIa.nu lal..I LII

Wendell Phillips on Sumner and the South
From the AnttSLdpeTy Standard.
Let Congress now adjourn without authoriz-
ing martial law at the South to curb the Ku-
klux, and they have assured the election of
Democrat to the Presidency. Indeed, the mood
of Washington in regard to the anarchy of the
South is such that we consider the matter about
settled. The thirty-three Republicans who last
week removed Mr.. Sumner from his post elected
a Democratic President for 1872.
Whether Grant will consent to run on Demo-
cratic ticket is, of course, uncertain. Probably
he does not himself know yet. But evidently
Buffers bill on the Ku-kluX is not likely to be-
come o law. The same subserviency that ate
dirt in the Sumner matter stands ready to de-
feat that. Any substitute that sends Southern
assassins TO be tried by a jury of tellow-assas-
sins is a mockery. Nothing short of shooting
half dozen Southern millionaires at the drum
head will awe the Ku-klux into submission.
Every man knows that each Senator who
voted for Mr.. Summers emoyal did so solely
because the President ad let him understand
that only on that cond tion could he hope to
have any infuende at the departments in secu-
ring office for his friends. We tel only what
is an open secret at " ashington. Politicians
there, attitudiniZing on he floors of Congress
use words in a Piclwicklan sense and yalnIsn
base acts with comely phrases. But IL is
fit the people should know the plain
truth. The President has bought off his
opponents by refusing all winter to listen,
in the matter of appointments, to the recon-
mendations of any member OF Congress who
voted with Mr. Sumner. The only excuse in
diyidual CoFgressmen make for changing their
votes is that 10 be ignored at the departments,
when asking offices for their supporters, is
death to their political hopes. If Santo Do
mingo is annexed, Grant secures it by threats
and bribes. The poorest memory will need but
little effort to recall the very embassy that
bought a Keystone vote, the judgeship which
won q Wolverine and the herring post that
made another Senator put on the domingo
collar.
