rested yesterday on another charge OF similar
character DIR. Rufus w. Peacock was arrested also
on the same charge, and both prisoners were ar
ragned before Judge Stising in the First District
Police Court Jersey City. The new complaint Is
made by John ID. Phillips acting secretary OF the

COCK paid all her dues and assessments. Nhen the
certificate was sent to Boston. II was discovered
