contempt for the Plumed Knight, however
desirous he may be Of having his party sue.

marked effect in restraining Federal officers
from prostituting the civil service to Federal
interference with election in the several
States. These officers are hooking out FOR
their personal interests and feeling that TO
save themselves theS must display conspicu.
ous loyalty to Blaine they care nothing for
Arthur. Hence between now and the 4th

be actively engaged in the doubtful States
in the peculiar party work for which in yari.

scene Of their activity, and the effect OF
their work can be counteracted only by the
ccaseless vigilance and courage Of the Dem.

WHITE PLAINS, \. Y, October "a
About a month ago Mrs. Mary Trainor, OF
White Plains was sent TO the County Aims
house on the certificate OF DIR. George II.

The doctor, after this, did not 90 home to

Maggie Trainor, a daughter of Mary
Trainor, who had been keeping house alone
on Mamoroneck avenue. He remained
there until Yesterday morning, when John
Philips, the landlord, told Maggie that she
mist vacate the premises at once. The
doctor was then in the house. Shortly al

house and demanded admission While she

pearance again in the village they would
treat him TO a coat of tar and feathers, aud

GUARDING AGAINST FRAUD.


Jersey Democrats Will Not Allow Ohio
Tactics.
TRENTON, October 2i-Goyernor Albeit
talked with a reporter to-day respecting the
rumored Republican plan to carry New
Jersey BY surrounding the polls with United
States deputy marshals. While no appeal
has been made to the Governor by Demo
Gratis it is probable an appeal will be made
before election day. United States Mar
shal Deacon claims that the State officials
cannot arrest enc Of his men nor interfere
with them. Governor Albeit is desirous
of knowing just how far he can main
tain State rights against any impositions
on the part of the United States
DEPUTIES. There seems little doubt Of the
purpose of the Republicans to use Unlted
States deputies for election purposes. The
number Of requests from Republican etti-
zens for the appointment Of deputies proves
the existence Of plot Of some kind.
United States Marshal Deacon claims ne
must send deputies to every city OF over 20
600 inhabitants where their presence Is re-
quested BY two citizens.
A number of the Democratic county
committees were communicated with to-day
and asked to form vigilance committees to
watch the deputies. The Democratic
Mayors OF the State viii also appoint special
officers. Mayor Donnelly, Of this city, has
arranged. it is stated, to have fifty special
officers around the polls and also around
the registering places next Thursday.

A BLACK MANS CRIME.

A Mysterious Murder by an Unknown

New HAVEN, CT., October IA strange
case Of murderous assault occurred here
this afternoon which, for wanton brutality,
exceeds anything which has happened for
many years past. NJ. lie Lonka is Hun
garian mechanic, who lives on the top floor
of tenement house in Grand street. To
day be came in late to his dinner and left
his wife washing at the tub between two and

later a neighbor went into the house and
found Mrs. Ze Lonka stretched upon the
Goor UNCONSCIOUS, with her head bsdly cut

vived sufficiently to say that respectfully

SOCIAL SENSATION

Wedding.

Curiosity.
A TRAGEDY CAUSED BY JEALOUSY

WASHINGTON, October 2i.-ln spite OF
the denial of the reported engagement be-
tween the President and Miss Frelinghuy'
sen given by the lady father yesterday, u
is still the firm belief and unshaken opinion
Of the President intimate friends here that
he will provide a step-mother for Master
Allen and Miss Nellie before the close Of
his administration. Appropriations for the
repair OF the White House were less this
year than usual yet the private apartments
ofthe Presidents family have been lavishly
decorated during his absence and certainly
indicate that General Arthur is nesting.
Fashionable people have begun to discuss
the coming event, and those likely to be
present are planning their toilettes A
Presidents wedding is too rare an event to
be readily spoiled by the simple denial of
the Secretary of State, who has the diPlo-
matte privilege of denying even when the
couple stand before the altar.
1t VIII Take Place.
A lady who assumes to be on intimate
terms with Miss Tillie says that the mar
riage will take place, but not while Mr..
Arthur is President; that it is their inten-
ton to take tour next spring, and that
tour will be wedding tour abroad. At the
White House a gentleman remarked to-day
that he did not believe the President would
be married until he knew who would be the
successor to Senator Lapham Of New York,
whose term expires next March, as the
President had his weather eye" on that
position, and that there might be an under
standing between him and the Senator. 1t
is not generally thought that the marriage
and the trip abroad would interfere with
the President becoming Senator Lapham' $
successor. OF oil the talk there has been
about the marriage, not a single word of
disapproval has been uttered. Miss Ere
linghuysen is a worthy lady and the Presi-
dent was one of the best husbands society
ever knew.

a Republican Congressman Who Is Not an
American Citizen.
ST. LOUIS, October 2i-The first genuine
sensation of the campaign in St. Louis came
with the publication Of an editorial article
in the Globe Democrat, the burden Of which
is that DR.. J. 81. Mclean, Republican can
didate for Congress, is ineligible because he
is not citizen. 1t stated that he has never
taken out naturalization papers and that ne
took his seat in Congress before virtually
on the false representation that he was an
American citizen. When he registered at
the Recorders Office shortly before his last
race he stated under oath then given that
he was born in Pennsylvania. In biogra-
phy which he dictated for local history he
saws that he was born in Ayrshire, Scotland,
in 1929. To the reporters who have been
sent TO him be says that he was born IN
Scotland and that he was nsturaliZed IN
Orange, Pa. in lS49. Wilkesbsrre IS the
county seat of Luzerne county, in which
Orange is located. As there is no court OF
record in Orange he could not have been
psturalized there; and, if his statement OF
the time of his birth and the time Of his nat
uraEzation is true, he was naturalized before
he was Il years old.

son, in supporting the motion u
read it, stated he had beea
at one time city health officer Of this city

attend meeting Of the health officers OF
the United States. and on his return took
great pains to make full report. That re.
port was never read, but laid away, and he
thought that this body should hear this re-
port, which was gotten up by the City Solic-
uor after hard and laborious work. The
motion to read was adopted. The Clerk
had hardly commenced the reading before
DIR. Wingerter moved to adjourn. Dr.
Jepson hastily arose from his
chair and earnestly requested
that the motion be Withdrawn for few mo
ments. Dr. winger,er withdrew his mo-
ton and DR. Jepson took the floor and pre-
sented his resignation as member Of this

the members of this branch is to express
their feelings mildly, Several Of the mem
bers finally grssped the situation aud hasti'
ly moved to lay the resignation on the table,
which WAS carried by q large majority. The
reading Of the opinion was then completed
by lie clerk without any further in,errup'
tons.
