The Row ON the Canal Boat Yesterday
Was Over a Woman.
James Barry the canal boatman who
was so seriously assaulted by William
Scott on a canal boat, near the foot OF
Warren street, Monday night, that he
was unable to appear in Justice Stilsing's
Court yesterday, appeared this morning.
The fight between the two men was
prompted by Barry's jealousy of a
frowsy, middle aged woman by the name
of Mary Anne Flume. The woman had
been living with Barry for the past four
or five years. On the way home from
Greenville Scott and Mary Anne banter
lngly informed Barry that he could make
mp his mind to sleep on the soft side of
the floor.
According to Barry's story, when he
went down into the cabin Scott was un-
dressed and under cover, and Mary Anne
was preparing to follow suit Scott
claims he was lying on the edge of his
bunk. with his clothes on. and that Barry
first assaulted him with knife, and in
self defence he gave Barry the beating
he got.

Two Freight Cars and Brakeman
Baxter with Them.

A horrible accident occurred early this
morning at the foot of Pier No. 8, of the
Pennsylvania freight tracks, near the
head Of what is still termed "HarsimuG
Cove,i away over near the Erie grain
elevator.
Three freight cars, attached to a
through freight train, were dumped into
the Cove. and Brakeman John Baxter, of
Newark, is supposed to have been jammed
in between two of the cars, which, laden
with heavy merchandise, are still under
water. The other car seems to have
broken away, and is still floating around
the Cove.
No effort has as yet been made to re-
cover the body or Brakeman Baxter but
when NEWS reporter reached the scene
at noon today, Diver B. f. Bean, of the
Chapman Derrick and Wreckage Com
pany, with force of men, was preparing
for active operations.
The cars were consigned to Pier No. 80
on the New York side.
The cause OF the accident is attributed
to the breaking OF a pin. which caused

POLL AND REGISTRY BOOKS.
Some of the Discrepancies Revealed by
q Comparisou

some OIL the discrepancies Revealed by
a Comparison.
Special to the JERSEY City Nelcs.
TRENTON, March II, 1890. The young
men who were deputed by the Senate
Committee to compare the various poll
books and registry lists are nnearth-
ing more glaring frauds.
In The First precinct of the First dis
trict they found 250 names on the poll
book, thirty-two of which were not on the
registry, while 100 differed as to initials,
numbers and streets.
The certificate at the end of the regis
try claimed that SOB votes had been cast.
This shows q remarkable difference be-
tween the registrp and the poll book
The Senate Committee found sos votes
in the box of precinct, and among these
were large number of jokers.
On the registry book were 500 names,
5l2 of which are checked to indicate they
were voted, while S4 are not SO checked.
Evidences of colonization were pparent.
From some houses on Sussex Morris,
Green, Washington, Hudson and Grand
streets, ten and twelve names are on the
pool book as having voeed, some of which
could not be found on the registry.

High Committee on Ballot Reform
tried to hold another secret meeting
this evening. They were in session
this time but little over an hour and ex-
ercised their usual vigilance to keep their
proceedings from becoming known out
side of Barney Ford's attractive parlor
The meeting amounted to nothing,
mainly owing to the absence of Senator
Werts and Assemblyman Voorhees,. The
discussion was rather tame compared
with those of former meetings and al
most all in one direction.
Harmony reigned supreme and all the
points touched upon were apparently
agreeable to all present
The Democratic members of the COM

the bill speedily reported. By species
of innuendo the Republicans are
attempting to have the impression prevail
that the Democrats are blocking the pro-

themselves are the guilty parties, and
