THE REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE

special meeting of the Republican Central Com
mttee was held last evening at their rooms, Broad
way and Twenty-thrd street. There was a large
attendance, considering the incemency Of the
weather. MIR. Hugh Gardiner occupied the Presi-
dental chair The whole OF the business transacted
was confined to the appointing OF a committee to
wait upon the Police commissioners and ask that
the republicans OF this city should have the full
number Of poll clerks and inspectors allowed them.
There was much debate and discussion on this mo-
ton, but finally It was amended to snt oil parties.
The amendment was that "the Executive Commit
tee appoint q subcommittee to present prepared
list OF canvassers and poll clerks and request the
Police commissioners to appoint those whom they
name." This subcommittee was then appointed
and the meeting adjourned.

the YOrkvillo Police Court.

Another OF those interesting matrimonial squab-
bles OF late SO peculiar to the Nineteenth ward
came up at the Yorkvilie Police Court yesterday.
The case has been In Court before. but In differ
ent shape. Tho defendants name Is John
Croal, and no Is an did to one OF
the Marshals OF tho Seventh District
Civil Court. The complainant Is his wife Mary, who
charged him with having abandoned her ana falling
to provide Tor her support. Croal admitted the
charge but claimed that in consequence OF her in
fidelity to him his wife forfeited all claims upon
him for support. On one OCCASION he said, when
he caused the arrest OF man named McCaf.
fiery, whom he found with his wife In
his apartments, she went to the court
and procured his discharge 10y stating that he was
there with her consent and by her invitation; she
then left the court in McCanerys company and has
been living since In rooms provided for her by Nc

testified that shortly after the trouble just men
toned between Mr. and Mrs. Croal he had occasion
TO visit the apartments then occupied BY
Mrs. CrOal down town. He saw McCaffery
there In his shirtsleeves and hatless. There was no
one In the room but herself and McCafrery when he

Governor Brown is slowly convacscing at the
residence Of his friend, DR.. Theophilus Steele in
Great Jones street. The sultry state OF the atmos-
phere during the night before last caused him to be
somewhat depressed yesterday morning, and the
few irrepressble callers who, regardless OF the
warning given them in the HERALD insisted upon
paying him visit were disappointed in their plans
OF gaining access to him. Interviewers,
with oil the innexible pertinaclty OF their
genus, endeavored to demolish the DOCTORS obec.

SICK mans presence, but the doctor was adamant
and they eventually retired crestfalen. very
few OF the old friends OF the Vice President in
prospective were admitted barely to shake his
hand and express their coincidence and wishes for
ms speedy recovery but such interviews were
short and far between.
1t Is the opinion of both the Governor and his
physician that the most absolute quiet Is necessary
10 his early and permanent recovery of strength.
and this can only be secured by rigidly excluding
all who come for the purpose OF drawing out his
Osity.
Early in the evening the Governor feeling weak
ana fatigued retired and slept quietly ill quite q

Governor Browns wife Is expected to arrive from
