CARR OILS ELECTION D1srU1ED.
a New Complication Injected Into the
Senatorial Middle.

TRENTON, Nov. 27.-L SPECIAL. ]-Some
Republican lawyers who have been look
ing into the subject have discovered new
snag to foul the Democratic majority on.
They say that Judge Dixon had no right
to Issue certificate to Carroll, the Labor
candidate for Assembly, who broke the tie
in the Passaic county recount against EN-
II, his Republican competitor. They say
that the Judge carelessly read the election
act Of 1880-which authorizes recounts-
wrongly. In the Passaic contest. Carroll
had majority of one over Emley; but he
did not have clear majority of all toe
votes cast. A number of votes were cast in
that district for a Prohibition candidate for
Assembly. Judge Dixon. however, it will
DE rendered, awarded Carroll a certificate
of election The Republican lawyers to
whom reference has been made say that
Judge Dixon had no right under the act of
1850 to grant certificate to any candidate
with only a plurality. The act provides
that the recount shall be made and that if,
upon its conclusion, the person to whom
the County Canvassers may have issued a
certificate of election, shall be found not to
have been elected, the Justice shall revoke
candidate who shall have been found to
have received majority OF all the votes
cast. There is no provision IN the act,
these gentlemen say, for the issuance of
certificate by the Justice TO candidate
having mere plurality. Justice Dixon is
thought to have presumed that
the act met this contingency with
out looking at it critically; and
hence it is probably that he signed
Mr.. CAROLS certificate of election. Chief
Justice Beasley is credited with having dis
covered the snag in the recount in Walters
district in this county. The recount
showed a tie between Walters and Jones
and the Republicans clamored for revo-
cation of the certificate of election that had
already been given by the County Canvas
sing Board to Walters. But Justice Beas-
ley's view is that the act requires him
either to revoke the certificate that may
have been given to defeated candidate,
and-the fatal word in the act in this n
stance is the little conjunction, g and ~
to give certificate to the elected candi-
date ; or to do neither. As he could not
issue new certificate, the act gives HIM
no right, he holds. to revoke the old ore
The discovery of the want OF power, on
the part Of the justice, to grant a certid-
cate CT election on a recount showing a
mere pluarlity, leaves Mr.. Carroll in a very
much less independent position at the or
ganization of the House of Assembly than
that which certain of his friends would
like to see him assume. 1t, at any rate,
injects new, and it may prove interesting,
complication into the contest for seats
IN the. Assembly Chamber next winter /:
and it is not impossible that it may be
used by one or the other OF the Senatorial
-
developments may invest it with.

The True Story of what Happened when
He Surrendered Himself.
There were only two persons in the
second precinct station when Cavanagh
came there. They were Marmaduke Til
dan and Sergeant Jelly. Mr.. Tilden was
standing at the south window looking out
when he heard Sergeant Jelly exclaim,
"Here comes Cavanagh, and he is drunk"
At that moment! the door was opened and
Cavanagh entered in a very high state of
excitement. The first words Cavanagh
used were, g Tilden. I've shot man, and
then turning quickly to Sergeant Jelly said
OF him, Sergeant, I've shot a man and
I've come to give myself up" The SER
geant remarked, s. You are fooling Mr..
Cavanagh, come here and sit down"
Cavanagh then began divest himself of his
coat; and further remarked, "Sergeant, I
have shot Pat Hayden the -
ought to have shot him twenty years ago.
He broke up my family Sergeant Jelly
then said to Cavanagh, If you shot Pat
Hayden, where is your revolver = and Cav

dollars in cash. The sergeant then left
the station house in charge of Mr.. Tilden
while he went to the scene of the murder
to find, if possible, the revolver with
which the deed was committed, which he
succeeded in getting.
Another story was heard by SUNDAY

Hayden had been criminally intimate with
Caysnagh's daughter some years ago, and
that Cavanagh bad been broodlng over the

What with Two Children Pursues Her
Husband from the West.
Two weeks ago Chief of Police Murphy
received letter from a woman in Cincin-
natl, saying that her husband had deserted
herand that shs had good reason to believe
he was working in Jersey City. A Detec-
tive was put on the case and man
was discovered who answered the de-
scription of the runaway husband IN
cveryIparticular. He was employed on the
Erie Railroad. 1t was thought best not to
arrest him and letter was written icform-
ing that her husband had been found.
Yesterday she arrived and went to police
headquarters She was sent from there to
the Second Precinct Police Station with
letter to Captain Edmondson. The cap
tain sent a detective to the Erie Railroad
to arrest the man suspected, but it was
found that the bird had flown probably
having received pointer from some one.
The woman, who had with her two small
children, was sent back to olice b BAD
quarters with Oaicer Smith about ten
o'clock. What became of him aft eward it
was impossible to ascertain. Cap tain Ed
monson refused to give the name Of the
woman to a SUNDAY MORNING News re-
porter because, he said, he had forgotten
it.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-Robert Bannatyne

He said it afforded inexpressible relief to
Lord Colin-Campbell to have an o2por-

from the gross and cruel impu.ations which
had been put upon him and from the
charge of adultery which had been trump

PENDANT suffered was not veaereal al
though the result of youthful indiscretion.
Lady Campbelrs mother had been told the
nature of the defendants ailment before
the marriage, but she nevertheless urged
on the union, saying her daughter was
wiling to merely act as nurse TO her
husband, and even wrote to the Duke of
Argyle to press upon him fulflment of
the engagement. The marriage was au-
thorizsd by physician, who said it was

Indications that Cavanagh Loaded His
Pistol for its Fatal Work.

Pistol for its Fat tai Work.
There was one incident of the killing
of Hayden that excited the curiosities of
the police. But one shot was fred on the
night of the murder, but two chambers Of
the six in Cavanagh's revolver we're found,
on examination, to have been used. The
shells were in the breech OF the pistol, but
the cartridges had been exploded. Chief
of Police Murphy said to SUNDAY MORN
ING News reporter last evening that-he had
learned that Cavanagh had been long the
owner of the pistol which he used 20 DO
the killing with, but that he never carried
it. Last Sunday, however, the boy who
lived with Cavanagh says Cavanagh got the
pistol and fred a sho9 into the door, II
what reason the boy could not for the ME
of him tell. That accounts for the second
empty chamber of the revolver. But ia en-
the boy says, too, that when he saw the
pistol after its use on Suzdly there was
nothing in it but the shell of the cartridge
that Cavanagh exploded that day. This
has led to suspicion that the prisoner
must have loaded the revolver for
its fatal mission on Thanksgiving
Day = an evidence Of generalization
that may help to convict him of murder
in the first degree. But there are other
evidences Of premeditation. Cavanagh
had been off on q spree Wednesday night
had taken in among other things the ball
at the Pavonla Rink, and hal been elected
from there for drunkness. But he went
home early IN the morning, and his sleep
from 7 to 2 ia the afternoon had made
him comparatively sober. He and the boy
had put their Thanksgiving turkey to roast,
when, glancing out of the window, Cavan-
agh saw Hayden pass. He forgot all
about the turkey and Thanksgiving and
started out. He stopped at saloon on
Eighth street, drank freely, and then went
at once to Hsyden's saloon, and slaughtered
him. One OF the nice points in the case
to be Determined. if the plea that his
drunkenness at the time of the shooting
deprived him of the capacity to form a
premeditated design to kiil--one of the
nice points in the case will be to determine
then, whether he did purposeiy fire his
| courage with rum, that he might carry out
his murderous design. In that event the
plea Of drunkness will not avail him much
It is not unlikely that plea of Insanity
| will be interposed to save his neck, and
the assault made upon him in Hayden's
saloon will be given as the reason Tor his
! insanity. There is no doubt that he was
badly beaten at that time; and Mrs. Fo-
garty, his daughter, said last evening, that
he had been very different in disposition
after the assault from what he had been
before it.

Dust for Dressing wounds.

In paper read before the last meeting of
the Pennsylvania State Medical society, DIR.
HewSon, of Philadelphia, stated that for six
teen years he had used different kinds of
earths as topical applications in diseases
which involve the skin. He had used it in
the form of paste and busted dry upon the
skin. Clay has proved TO be tine best applica-
ton. Following its appliration in cases of
smallpox, measles, scarlet fever, erysipelaS,
etc, he had always noticed direct and rapid
reduction Of temperature, a dissipation Of
pain or distressing local sensations,
a diminution of the duration of the
disease, an ailuring of the intense
general or constitutional symptoms, preven-
ton Of complications which so frequently oc-
cur as TO have long been recognized as char
acteristic of each special disease and the de-
stIuCtion of all contagiousneSs.
In the various forms of scarlet fever, as
Hewson dusts the powdered earth all over the
skin. In erysipelas and smallpox the clay is
mixed with water in glass or china dish
with a wooden spatula until a smooth paste is
formed, which is applied directly to the skin.
A marked increase in the temperature of the
dressing is appreciable at first, which lasts
until the clay has be,nme dry, which Dr.
Hewson recognizes as indicative of the Sc
verify Of the disease according to its stage
and he is always satisfied with that taken at
the end Of twenty-four hours-the greater re-
ductiOn showing the greater destruction of
the morbid progress
