The Crime Oh pter.

Mollie Graham, colored, aged %
years, an inmate of the Medical College
Hospital, at Nashville, was arrested on
Friday night for having poisoned four
persons, the matron, two patients and
a colored employee. All were made
very sick, arsenic having been put in
their food, and one of the patients,
Fannie Clark, was not expected to re-
cover. The prisoner Is said to have
been actuated by a grudge against
some of the young doctors connected
with tbs hospital, and to have intended
to poison q larger number of victims.

he came and committed suicide by
shooting himself In the head. Slocum

The fraudulent Vote.

In the First district, First WARD, there
were 25 more Democratic votes cast
than were cast at the Presidential cleo
ton /; in the Fifth district, Third ward,
A In the Sixth district, same ward, As;
in the Seventh district, same ward, ;
in the Ninth district, Fourth ward, "a !;
in the Twenty fifth district, Tenth ward,
1l6, and in the Twenty-Sixth district,
Eleventh ward, IA. Take this evidently
fraudulent vote from Rhoads' majority,
and it will be reduced to 95.
Now look at a few of the districts
where the Democrats polled up to with
in a very few votes equal to the Presi.
dental vote OF last November. In the
Second district, First ward, 1t came
within 10 in the Third distri: ct, Second
ward, Z in the Fourth district, Second
ward, 8 in the Twenty.third district
Ninth ward, l. Several others rang.
from 10 to %, showing strained vote
when in districts where an undisputeC
honest vote was polled, there was {
falling off in the vote Of about one-fifth
Deduct this strained vote from Rhoads
majority, and the latter will have van
ished away entirely, and Conrad will
DO found to be elected. Look at
in whatever light they will, Democrats
if they are honest, must admit fraudu
lent vote cast, sufficient to defeat Rhoad
If deducted from his vote.

Considerable complaint is made Of
the rowdyism of certain parties who
visit the brewery near Wooddale. al
most every Sunday. The loud talking,
swearing and clustering have Disguised
the neighbors and an appeal to the law
is threatened. 1t is said that persons
not only visit this point from this city,
but from Pennsylvania, and last even
ing . drunken party in returning home
in a two-horse wagon, ran into the
fence near the snuff mills, knocking
down several panels, but luckily all
hands escaped personal injury.
Whether the beer is sold on Sunday OF
given away, or liquor supplied from
TASKS, are questions that can only bs
determined by Investigation.

MI. Blake EndOrAed.

We must congratulate Mr.. Blake for
his splendid victory in the Third ward
We thought he ought not to have been
elected, because he looked after oil and
half dollars more than after the inter-
ests Of the city, but the people of that
ward and some from others who voted
there, thought differently. We thought
that Mr. Blake, when he drew $500
from the City Treasury for attending
Council meetings, once week, at a
dollar a meeting, and committee meet
ing, at fifty cents meeting, was going
1t rather steep on the city Treasury, but
Mr.. Blake's constituency by their votes
said the other thing. Mr.. Blake Ia
heartily endorsed. He il authorized tc
60 ahead and do as he has done, and a
little more so if he desires. II he draws
twice $500 from the city the next veal
his constituency will no doubt double
his majority, and make 1t 406 majority
instead Of 203. After all there is ar
advantage in Mr.. Blake's method o.
conducting elections. 1t infuses lif.
. amongst the voters, and brings then
!, out to the polls. 1t makes them voU,
, in all the districts of the ward. Il
makes them oblivious to any one bu,
, Blake. 1t Is Blake all the time and
Blake everywhere. The superiority O.
:, Mr.. Blake's method over the old methot
is seen in comparison of the vote cas-
" at the last November election and tina
:, cast on Saturday.
By the old method of voting Blu
n once $40 votes were cast TO
:, Cleveland. but by the Blake metho'
a put in operation on Saturday, GO
- Democratic votes were polled, shown
=. the superiority of the Blake machin
- over the honest plan by Sc. Anotht
advantage of the Blake plan is tn;
honest voters in the ward who pa
heavy taxes need not trouble then
" selves about voting. Mr.. Blake oil
~ ligingly gets the other men to do IL
voting who can be had for a very sma
3, consideration and who have plenty
~ time to do it, and the business me
" md tax payers can attend to their bus
20 ness in their offices and countir
" houses. Mr.. Blake can go ahead. I
has right to take from the city all Il
D half dollars he can lay hold of, becau,
No he is endorsed. We have only to ga,
e go ahead Mr.. Blake.

The Municipal election has resulted
|disastrously for the Rep ublicans, IS had
been anticipated by many who under
stood the run Of the campaign and the
desperate efforts made use Of by the
Democrats to perpetuAte their authority.
While 1t il to be regretted that Mr..
Conrad was net elected Mayor, the peo-
pie Of the city have cause for oongratu-
lation that one 80 well known rs Mr..
Rhoads has been elected, and We be-
lieve If left to himself will make q very
creditable Mayor. He certainly has q
grand opportunity of removing every
doubt upon that score right from the
start. His principal business will be
the appointment of a police force and
the supervision OF that force after it Is
appointed. Upon the character Of that
force depends the success or failure Of
\ his administration. He has q grand
opportunity Of appointing the best po-
lice force the city has ever had. II he
attempts to appoint some from this and
that class simply as q reward for ser
vices rendered in his election he will
have one Of the worst forces the city
has ever had. The times are hard and
many of the very best men of Mr..
Rhoads party are out OF employment.
They are men of character and ability,
and many of them would be glad of a
place upon the force. If Mr.. Rhoads
will display strong character and a
little will Of his own he will 60 to this
class for his force, and though he may
possibly make mistakes he can rectify
them and keep on rectifying them un'
til be finds the right man for the right
place. But then we are told that we
have no put in in this matter, that we
belong to the defeated party, that we
have had our day and that now Demo
cracy and Mr.. Rhoads will have their
day. This of course is the partisan
view Of the case, but every citizen who
desires the good Of society must be
something more than party man. Al
citizens Of Wilmington, Interested in
the morals and happiness Of the people,
and interested in the business prosperity
of the city, the voice Of minority tl

to be, will be regarded with equal con

1t Ia doubtful II tnere ever was suCn
m election farce held in the city as
Vas held on Saturday in the 3rd, 10th
and 18th ward notably and possibly
in other wards. Men went from poll
10 poll and voted the Democratic ticket
with impunity and without fear. Men
who lid not belong In the wards voted,
and boys under twenty-one years OF
age had no trouble to vote If they voted
the Democratic ticket. On the other
hand the most rigid scrutiny was ex-
ercised over every Republican voter.
Colored men who were known to be
Republicans, and to be qualified In
every respect were refused votes, and
in some instances when shame got the
better of the inspectors, their votes
were received, but torn to pieces and
thrown beneath the table on which the
ballot boxes stood. The relation of
Democratic outrages upon the franchise
and upon the sacredness OF the ballot
box on Saturday would fill volumes.
In some districts scarcely were the
forms OF honesty observed, and Demo
cratic inspectors of elections chuckled
votes of repeaters, unassessed men and
boys into the ballot boxes.
For this crime upon the franchise
there is apparently no redress. Re-
peaters and suffers Of ballot boxes may
be arrested and bound over to Court,
but there is an end to the farce. There
seems to be such Generalization OF
political sentiment that politics is car
ried into the jury box, and it is diff
cult to got jury to convict, be the
evidence ever 30 positive. We know
of but two that were ever convicted,
and that was some ten years ago, when
"Gus O'Donnell and q man named
Zeigler, helped the jury in coming to a
conclusion by honestly confessing thai
they did repeat. A conviction did TAXI
place in the United States distric
court some ten years ago, but in tina
case two of the accused plead guilty
This is lamentable state Of affairs
and all good citizens should regre
that 1t exists. The man who in tn
Twenty fifth election district, made on
to put in 148 more Democratic vote
in the box than were voted at tn
Presidential election when full vot
was polled, should be sent to Jail il
stead OF posturing before the public a
an honest man, and the man who,
the Twenty sixth district, put in IL
ballot box "a Democratic votes on Sa
urday more than were voted in N

have crammed Republican tickets In
