should determine the liability of each
manager to the others by agreement or
LITIGATION among themselves. On the
hearing this morning ex-ChancelIor

retson, William A. Lewis. James Vreden-

STRUCK WHILE HE SLEPT.


The Odd Story OF Robbery and Assault
Told BY Robert Kenyon.
:. Charles Bair, the handsomest young
waiter at Kings Montgomery street res
taurant, charged yesterday by Robert
Kenyon, of No. 1oS York street, with
assault and battery, breaking and enter
ing and robbery, was arraigned before
Justice Stilsing this morning.
Mr.. Kenyon tells an odd story He is a
pattern maker, recently employed in
foundry in First street. He left his wife
and family in suburban town a short
while ago and came to Jersey City to look
for work and was making arrangements
TO bring his family here. he dropped
found himself in Jersey City and took
quite a fancy TO Bair, who, he says, in
duced him to take room in the restaur-
ant building. Kenyon talked openly of
his affairs, and on several occasions ac-
companied young Bair out for an even
fng's enjoyment.
On the Saturday evening preceding the
robbery the two Witnessed hAfter Dark
at the Academy. On the following night
the robbery occurred. Mr.. Kenyon went
to his room about eight o'clock in the
evening. He called Bair to bring him
some matches, and invited him to remain.
The two drank a pint of beer, while Mr..
q piece of property out of town. After
Bair left the room Mr.. Kenyon read a
newspaper till he became drowsy, and,
lying down on his bed, fell asleep. About
midnight he says he was aroused by a
dull sense of pain on the left side of his
face. Opening his eyes he espied coat
less man, in stocking feet, creeping
stealthily from the room. He recognized
young Bair, and remarked:--'1 7 know you,
Charley" and then relapsed into uncon-
sciousness. from which he did not awake
till eight o'clock next morning
Then he discovered he had been robbed
of $32 and a silver watch, and also that he
had been dealt a blow that SO loosened
four of his teeth that he pulled them out
with his fingers. Mr.. Kenyon immedi-
ately sought other apartments. He did
not wish to prosecute young Bair, but
after thinking it over decided to report
the matter to the police.
Detective Mcbride has shadowed young
Bair closely and examined his trunk since
his arrest. Nothing has yet been found
to fasten the crime upon him.
Justice Stilsing committed the prisoner
for trial

WARRANTS FOR SIXTY.
The Election Officer SEN
sation Eventuates in
an Unexpected
Form.

This morning Judge Lippincott signed
bench warrants for the arrests of sixty
election officers, and if found they will
be taken into custody at once The COM
plant was presented by ex-Judge Hoff-
man to the Court in Chambers
The Judge carefully scrutinized the
document and then sent for the seal,
which he affixed to the warrants that had
already been prepared. 1t is said that
Counsellor w. S. Stuhr is the principal
mover in the matter, and from the fact
that ex-J Judge Hoffman is his counsel in
the contested election case the surmise
appears reasonable
Rumors that this move would be made
had been circulated through the city. and
early in the morning large number of
politicians congregated at the Court
House to watch the proceedings. Among
them were Sheriff Davis, Street and
Water Commissioner Somers, ex-senator
Edwards, Fred. Mersheimer, ex-
Judge McGrath, Thomas McEwan,
Jr.. secretary of the Republi-
can county committee; eX-Mayor Collins,
Councilman Stanton, Counsellor Mervyn
Armstrong, Counsellor William d. DAILY, J,
Counsellor Thomas F. Noonan, Captain
John Graham and j. T. Altem IS. Every
one of these gentlemen looked as If seri-
GUS business was to be transacted and
none were disappointed.
There was great work done, for before
the ink on the warrants was dry messen-
gers from the Court House sought the
highways and the byways in search of
the election officers the Court wanted, to
notify them Of their danger.
The Court was not willing to send the
regular court officers after all these men
and some outside men were deputized to
make the arrests. Judge Lippincott
waited all day at the Court House to re-
ceive bail in any cases where arrests
were made, but at one o'clock none had
taken place.

The Senate Investigating Commit
tee Grows Tired Of Asking
Questions and Adjourns.

The Senate Investigating Committee
were encouraged in their work yesterday
by the presence OF the arch contestant,
Mr.. Stuhr, who, in a new pair of choco-
late colored gloves, sat near the commit
tee and tried TO look wise The presence
of Senator Adrain, who is always running
over with good humor, alone kept the
proceedings from becoming soporific.
Counsellor Corbin continued the sa me
old course of examination. He called a
woman to the stand, asked her how long
she had lived in the house she then occu-
pied, and If she knew several men whose
names he read OFF. 1t she did not, Mr..
Corbin had the stenographer note that
the men whom the witness did not know
were checked off as having voted from
the house, the inference being that they
were fraudulent votes.
ExJudge Garretson on cross exanlfna-
ton asked the witness minutelv about
each tenant in the house, and in almost
every instance there were persons in the
place whom the witness acknowledged
might be the alleged fraudulent voters.
Mrs. Mary Carol, of No. 66 Gregory
street, was the first witness at the after
noon session. She did not know three
men who had registered from her house,
and the Rev. A. A. Zabriskie, pastor of
the Free Reformed Church, on Grand

tered from that number on Grand street.
Henry Thompson, who owns the build
ing at No. $50 Montgomery street, in
which Tom Trotter keeps a saloon, testi-
fed that a woman whom he understood
to be Trotter's partner started q boarding
house over the saloon, but as soon as the
witness heard of it he ordered her out.
Mrs. Stuckey, who lives there now, swore
that six men who were registered from
the house did not live there at the time of
the last election.
George Morrow testified that No. Sc
Gregory street was his stable and that no
one lived there.
Mr. Corbin found a man who was
checked as voting from there.
Mrs. G. Matzni, of No. 1O7 York street,
said that G. M. Lapold did not live at her
house; that Charles Dale moved away
year ago, and J. w. Wilson five years
ago. All were registered from her house.
Several other witnesses testified IN the
same line and then the committee ad-
journed until next Thursday.

ined matters closely in connection with
the title. and found that the plot was
vested in the Mayor and Board OF Alder
men of jersey City in fee simple The
situation of the plot, fronting as it does
40 feet on the river, makes it especially
