BLACKBOARD BATHERS.
Outrageous Action Of n Band OF New
York ROughs- who 60 In SWIM
ming ~Puris NaturaIibus- In
Presence or Women and
Children-A wild
Chase.

New YORK, July 29.-Y esterday afternoon
a number OF young men went in bathing at
Pier No. 4, North river. They made no pre-
tense in the way of donning anything in the
shape of bat hing suits, but acted like wild
savages in a nomadic state. The neighbor-
hood is thickly populated, and the travel in
the horse-cars Is almost unprecedented with
excursonists going to Staten Island and other
points. The young men, In the face OF wom-
en- and children, had no thought of propriety,
and their actions were viewed with disgust
and Indignation. One of the party, who was
conspicuous among others for his indecent
behavior finding himself headed off from the
river, made dash for the street, and ran into
a West street car, an officer at his heels. The
car was crowded. In moment there was gen.
eral CONSERVATION among the passengers at the
shocking sight of naked man rushing pell
nell through a public thoroughfare and
through crowded car. He was hemmed in
between the passengers, mary OF whom were
ladies; but before the officers could lay hands
on him he got out at the front platform and
made for the pier again. He dashed head
foremost overheard, and Officer Shea kept up
the chase, jumping into the water after the
fugitive. The excitement OF the chase did
not end here. The two men struggled des
perateiy In the water, but, handicapped as
the officer was with his clothing, he held on
manfully to his prisoner, and pummeled him
soundly to reduce him to subsection. Ser
geant Gatlin threw rope to the officer,
which the latter tied about the prisoner, and
by this means the man was hauled on shore
like a curious monster of the deep. He gave
his name Daniel Morrison, aged twenty
two. In a similar manner six other bathers
were subsequently arrested and imprisoned.
They will be arraigned in court to-day.

COLORED REPEATERs.

The vote in the last congressional election
demonstrates that the vote of Randolph in
this city was greatly increased by the vii
lainy of band of organized repeaters, who
voted early and often The Democratic
party has nothing to fear to-day except the
colored repeaters The negro voter is gen.
orally unknown to the white judges, and they
are so much alike in appearance that they
can vote half dozen times at the same box.
This they have heretofore done, and this they
will do to-day unless the Democrats challenge
every doubtful voter. The Radicals and the
communists will attempt to browbeat and
bully at every effort to interfere with the re-
peaters, who are systematically organized for
the discharge of the business for which they
are paid. But Democrats must not permit
themselves to be inundated by tie COM
munlsts. Every repeater should be arrested
and punished. If the repeaters are not mo-
Tested to-day, they will resort to a more brazen
application of their practice, and future
elections will be a farce. There will be
no election by the people for years to
come. The offices of the county will be filled
by the sole selection of the repeaters, con-
trolled and directed by the Radicals and the
commune, and the honest voter will be dis
franchised, as they were previous to 1870, by
the approval of Pierce and Kortrecht. The

CLEVELAND, OHIO, July % "A curious
case OF poisoning has inst btou reported IN
the seventh ward. The facts in the case, as
far as can be ascertained tonight, are as fol-
lows: A family living at No. AZ M Henry
street have sick daughter, and Friday ight
or Saturday morning a sister of the young
lady, named Mary Dewitt, with two other
young ladies, named respectively Mary Plum
kett, living Phelps street, and Maggie
Griffin, living on Rossiter street, were sitting
up with the sick girl. During the night Miss
Mary Dewitt complained of feeling unwell,
and went up stairs to get some magnesia.
She came down, and putting small guam
tity 10 three small cups, drank of it herself,
and by considerable urging induced the other
two young ladies to drink the decoction. Soon
after the three young ladies became deathly
sick, and physicians were called. During
Saturday Miss Mary Dewitt continued to grow
rapidly worse, and, although everything was
done to relieve her, she died this afternoon,
at half-past two o'clock. The other two la
dies were also very low until yesterday, when
they commenced to grow better, and are now
considered out of danger Drs. Scott and
Darby were called to make an examination of
the condition of the patients and the mixture
which was taken, and they are of opinion that
it was arsenic and lead poison. There is a
great deal of excitement In the neghborhood,
as the whole affair is shrouded In deep mys-
terry. The coroner is very reticent, and the
facts learned are from Miss Plunkett. Wheth
er it was a case of wholesale poisoning, or
whether 1t was accidental will no donbt be
explained in the coroner's verdict. la the
meantime, all kinds Of rumors are afloat.
The Dewitt family will give no information
whatever.
