MARSH'S BOMBSHHLL.
A House Committee to Inyes-
tigate Election Frauds
All Over the State.
IT EXPLODED THIS MORNING.
Marsh, Kalisch, Mullone, Morris
and Ward Will Be the
Explorers.
IT EXPLODED THIS MORNING.

TRENTON, April 90, 1890. Mr.. Marsh
threw bombshell into the Republican
camp this morning In the shape of a reso
lution calling for the appointment by the
Speaker Of a special committee of five to
laws in the State, for the purpose of pun
ishing the violators of the law and to de-
wise means for preventing such violations
in the future. The committee is to have
power to send for papers and persons and
is to report to this Legislature, if possible,
if not to the Governor. or the next Legls-
lature.
Mr.. Potts asked what the object of the
committee was, and Mr.. Marsh. told him
that the House had lately come into pos
session of facts concerning elections in
certain parts of the State which need in
yestigation.
Mr.. VOORHEES, made the usual Republi-
can stump speech, in which he rang the
changes on the Hudson frauds and ac-
cused the House of trying to embarrass
that investigation.
Mr.. Marsh demolished his argument by
showing how The investigation compre-
hended by the resolution is to be nom
partisan and to effect both parties alike.
He instanced one case OF violations of the
law in Senator Gardner's district, where
not one of the boxes required by law was
used in Atlantic City last year. The
Republican Senate Committee will not
investigate such frauds. The
resolution proposed to investigate
all frauds without regard to party. II the
Republican party's skirts are clean, the
resolution will prove a boomerang to the
Democratic party. But Mr.. Marsh knew
better. Mr.. Nash told of the ingenious
methods by which the Republicans car
ried Camden. and said that if they were
made public, some of the brightest names
in the Republican party would be
tarnished.
The Republicans offered several grossly
partisan amendments, but all were voted
down. The resolution then passed by a
large vote. The Speaker appointed
Marsh, Kalisch Mullone. Norris and
Ward on the committed

AN OCEAN CHASE.
Plucky Paula Landed Her Faithless
Swain and His Love Before
Justice stilsing.

Detective Grogen, OF Castle Garden
with the assistance of Detectives Dalton
and Morris, of this city made a clever
capture today of mean German
Lothario, who robbed his affianced
of over $1,000. and skipped to this country
in company with another and prettier,
buS less noble woman. The capture was
made in front of Taylor's Hotel at half
past one o'clock.
Paula Wander Lippe, tolerably pre-
possessing young woman of the semi
blonde type, with features sunburned al
most beyond recognition, and clad in a
check ulster that resembled
somewhat the immortal gown
worn by Nellie Bly, in her
famous trip around the world, arrived at
Castle Garden this morning from Bau-
| denhau, Germany, on the German-Lloyd
steamer Ems.
She Immediately sought detective
and complained that one Johann
Welslan, gay young German, who
after promising to marry her and
bring her to this country drew
| 500 marks from her bank account
and ran off to this country with tall and
| handsome brunette by the name of Louisa
Roalert. They had both sailed two days
before she started on the Rotterdam
| steamship p. Calland.
| Detective Grogen knew that the P. Cal
| land had come into port yesterday, and
hastily ascertained that Welslau's bag
gage had been conveyed to Taylor's
Hotel. In company with the deserted
Paula he came over to Jersey
| City He had scarcely emerged from the
| Pennsylvania ferry house, when Paula
espied the couple she was in search of
| standing on the sidewalk.
| She Immediately became excited, but
| the detective motioned her to keep quiet,
and summoping Detectives Morris and
T,lk ts 4
ed the pair before either was aware of the
| presence of Paula on this side of the
ocean. Welslau, seeing his game was up,
| quietly submitted, ana, manacled by
the side of the tall and pretty
Louise, with whom he had
| been stopping as man and wife
| at ITsayyior's, 8, was marched off to Police
Headquarters where all three, including
| the plucky Paula, were held for examina-
| ton until toulorroM morning.

the committee reported Senator Carter's
substitute for the committees bill, with
amendments, which were mostly clerical,
except one which provided that the
clause relating to the punishment for
violation of the election laws should not
supersede the existing statute upon the
subject.
The bill then passed co third reading
The double action on the matter almost
simultaneously mixed several Of the Sen
ators all up and they remained long
after the session trying to get straight
ened out. This they finally managed to
do, with the assistance of Tom Fitzger-
aid, the dean of the correspondents
corps.
Mr.. Boyle's great Milk bill was fatally
killed. as rural member expressed it,
and after some discussion the measure
providing that the laws shall be published
hereafter in pamphlets instead of in the
newspapers met the same fate. Good DIR.
Roe opposed the measure because, he
said, the farmers in his district thought
that would be good way to economic.
Senators Pfeiffer and Winton favored the
measure.
Elk Governor Prices bill giving syn
dictate the power to build gigantic sys-
tenn of docks in the bay, was passed.
The bill permitting the Pennsylvania
Railroad TO merge some of its South Jer-
sey branches also passed, after having
the State will reap benefit by making
the new road liable 30 taxation.
Another bill passed was that providing
for establishing geological museum in
the State House. The measure which
seeks to prohibit winter racing and COM
pelling the race tracks to pay the State
five per cent. of their gross receipts, and
which after so many vicissitudes reached
the Senate, received another set back. On
Wotion of senator Adrain it WAS recon-
mitted.
The militia men who have been sad over
the prospect of having their pay cut down
third while in camp, can dry their tears.
The bill passed the Senate last evening,
not however until it had been amended
SO as not to reduce the pay. The bill
creates a new officer, keeper of the State
arsenal, with the rank Of captain.
The Senate in Executive Session con-
firmed the nomination of Willard G.
Fiske as Riparian Commissioner. The
Senate adjourned for the week.

who as owners of the property on the
south side of Grand street at
Mill Creek, asked permission of the
Board to construct and maintain pile
box culvert from the southerly end of the
existing Mill Greek cuivert under Grand
street, southerly 255 feet, more or less.
The communication with the accompany
ing plan was referred to the Committee
on Streets and Sewers.
A communication was received from
the Board of Education asking concur
renee in the resolution adopted by that
Board on the 10th instant, in reference to
the selection of the site at the corner OF
Milton avenue and Charles street, for the
erection of the proposed new Fourth dis

AFTER MoRGAN's ADHERENTs.
The fine Italian hand of the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad boss has been seen in certain
recent movements within the party to
weaken Morgan's power BY clever
coup, planned by General Sewell, the or
ganization of City Council was stolen
from City Solicitor Morgan last month,
but the willy young leader has already
repaired his fences, has put his war paint
on and is going to carry his firebrands
deeply into Sewelrs camp.
Morgan and the young Republicans
have already declared their intention Of
naming the candidates for Senator and
the principal county Offices.
Sewell realizes that he has got big
fight on his hands. While Solicitor
Morgan has control of the party ma.
cninery, Sewell has the forces of the
SheriH's office, the post office and his
powerful corporation Influences at work,
and there win be lively hair-pulling
match before long.
DUDLEY HAS A GOOD MEMORY.
1t is more than likely that Thomas H.
Dudley will take hand against his ar
ciennt enemy. General Sewell His son,
Edward Dudley, wants to go to the State
Senate, and If Dudley joins forces with
Morgan and draws on his millions, SewelI
will be whipped in this fight. The better
class of Republicans here are tired OF
Sewell. The old friends and adherents of
General Robson will rally under Nor
gan's banner to pay off OLD scores, and
many party worker who has felt the
stings of the dictator's lash, will Join
heart and soul to feed fat their ancient
grudge."
For one thing, Leader Morgan and his
followers have defiantly declared that
Robert Il. Barber, whom General Sewell
knocked out of the postmastership, shall
be made county clerk. Sewell is disposed
to concede this, but he wants to award
the other offices to his liking and right
here the fight opens and it will be fierce
fight to the bitter end.
The veterans will take a hand against
Sewell. The Harrison Veteran Legion
has, it is true, reconsidered their stinglng
resolutions censuring General Sewell, but
he has refused to give them any recogni-
tion, and he would not come to their re-
ception to General Grubb last week.
Look out for some lively developments
in Camden county.

A WEEHAWKEN ROBBERY.
John Williamson Knocked Down and
Robbed in Broad Daylight.

Robbed in Broad Daylight.
One of the most daring and successful
of daylight robberies was committed in
Weehawken at eight o'clock this morn
ing. John Williamson, a passenger brake
man on the West Shore ferry, was the
victim. At seven O'Clock William
son finished his night run, and leav-
ing the depot started for his home in
West New York. AS he turned the cor
ner of the Boulevard into upper Wee
hawken he was suddenly confronted by
six tough-looking characters. He was
told to hold up his hands, and, refusing
to do SO, was Instantly set upon and
knocked down. He was then kicked
about the body in frightful manner and
his pockets rified Of 500 in money The
highwaymen then fed.
Williamson, although badly wounded,
managed to get to the Weehawken Police
Station, where his wounds were dressed,
and he told his story. The police were
incredulous at first and would not believe
that such crime could be committed in
broad daylight, but as Williamson told
his story with every sembIance of truth
and gave a good description of his assail-
ants, two policemen were detailed on the
case and expect to capture some of the
gang before night. Williamson's wounds

Little Alteration.
TRENTON, April 20. 1s90.--James G.
Hillman, one of the constituents of
Howell c. Stull, Assemblyman from the
Second district or Mercer county, met the
representative in Hanover street res
taurant yesterday morning and proceeded
to argue with him regarding alleged de-
merits of the Mechanics Lien bill, which
he (StulD had introduced in the Legis-
lature. The discussion became warm
and Hillman leyeled a blow at Stull,
which the latter lodged.
Stull then left the restaurant and Hill
man followed him out in the street and
insisted on continuing the alteration,
whereupon the Assemblyman slapped his
constituents face with his left hand and
followed it up with a right-hander that
sent Hillman sprawling in the gutter.
In the midst of the ensuing excitement
Stull made his way through the crowd
and disappeared. No arrest was made,
though a policeman was at the corner
close by.

Brute-B1aming the Child.
Special to the Jersey CITY Nelcs
MOUNT HOLLY, April %, 1890. One of
the most remarkable cases ever tried in
the Burlington County Courts will be
tried today, when William Sloan VIII be
arrigned for brutally assaulting Bertha
K Haines, his twelve-year- niece.
Sloan, who is married, on December 90
last took the child TO a deserted hotel in
the middle of a woods and kept her there
all night. Her parents. becoming anxious
at their child's absence, organized a
searching party, and Sloan and his victim
were traced. AS the party approached
the hotel Sloan seized an axe with which
to defend himself The searching party
were not armed, so the father of the girl
kept guard while the others went after
officers. During his vigil the father saw
his daughter most brutally abused. but
was afraid to interfere in her behalf
When Constable Adams arrived he
promptly secured Sloan and put him in
Mount Holly jail.
Sloan, when asked what his defence
would be. said:-"Heaven only knows.
would rather be dead than in this scrape,
but l suppose l must make the best of it.
The girl, my little niece, followed me
that night against my Will. was going
into the pines to chop wood. She said
she was tired of the brutal treatment she
was receiving at home from her parents.
/ was some distance on the road when
she caught up to me. She said she had
been to my house, and. finding I had
gone, started after me. / tried to send
her back, but she would not 60. We
then went on together to the old hotel. !
was more sinned against than SHINING.
Bertha told the men on the way to jail,
1T was not your fault, Uncle Bill, it was
all mine; but they would not listen. My
wife is with me and have her confidence
and trust, but / have no doubt shall be
severely punished.
Micajah E. Matlack, the prisoner $
counsel, said he would show that the girl
was depraVed
