Showing a difference of votes in
favor of VanSyckel.
The ballots were dumped back into
the box and recountej, the result
agreeing with their later figures, which
were certified to by Lupton under
protest, he feeling sure that his first
count was the correct one. ~
Mr.. Gentry says that the first count
made the difference between Nichols
and VanSyckel votes, the same as
the last count did, while Lupton de-
.clares that his tally at first was cor
rect.
The PIONEER reporter saw chal-
lenger Brown, and Mr.. Brown says
that he knew nothing about the man
who voted in the morning on George
Blacks name, and was not in the poll
ing place at the time. Mr.. Gentry
says the man was an old decrepit col
ored man, whom he did not know,
but who he should know at q glance
If he saw him again, but he was sure
Brown had nothing to do with aiding
him to vote.
Mr.. Lupton also charges that Mr..
Nichols while in the polling place,
gave one Richard P. johnson, of Or
ange street, ticket, and told him how
to vote, which act was contrary to the
law.
Lupton also charges that the George
Black who lives at 101 Orange street,
has not live in the State year, and
was, therefore, no. entitled to vote.
Brown, the challenger, declares that
he only sss listed Flank West, Charlie

THE NEW OFFICES.
Surrogate F1th1an Moving To-
DAV.

D0ys
The new county building on Com
merce street is ready for occupancy,
and Surrogate Fithian was in serious
trouble Thursday. The perplexities of
moving have been worrying him, and
this morning, when a PIONEER re.
porter called at the Office he was up to
his elbows in dirt, and legal looking
documents.
It is a great task to change offices
such as bis, but in few days he will
be nicely fixed away, and persons hav-
ing business with that official, will find
him in much better position to do
work than ever before.
The new offices haye been arranged
and modelled with great care. There
have been very few important ap-
pointments overlooked. The building
is not one of architectural beauty in
its exterior but the interior will COM
pare most favorably with any in the
lower end of the State.
The entrance is reached by climb
ing four brown stone steps, and
admission is gained into a lobby by
passing through large double doors.
Glass doors, swinging either way, are
then pushed open, and the visitor is in
a nice, pleasant corridor. Confront
ing him is an easy accessible stairway,
which, by the way, is very ornamental.
This flight of turning stairs leads one
to the Office of the Surrogate. Enter
there first. You are on the second floor
now. Enter the door on the right
of the second story hallway, and you
are in the business Office of the Surro-
gate. Well lighted, exeellently venti-
lated is the room. All the wood fin
ished in hard oil, large, single plate
windows. The floor covered with q
very pretty pattern cocacine mating,
which gives the rooms quite q dash of
color. Acentre steam register furnishes
heat for the rooms.
Large sliding doors connect the bust
ness office, with the private office.
Very neat and nicely appointed rooms
too. Cupboards and shelving especially
appropriate for the business OF the
office. From the business office leads a
door to the vault, where must be kept
the valuable records which are in the
custody of the Surrogate. This vault
is absolutely fire proof and also heated
by steam.
The Clerks offices are on the first
floor, and they are in style and ap-
pointment the same as those described.
The vault in the rear, is much larger
than the Surrogate's. All the cup
boards, with pigeon holes, and book
shelves are new. Large tables are ar
ranged for the searcher's use. In ad-
dition to all this vault room there Is
still another vault for the use of the
Clerk, on the second floors stairway
leading from the first floor vault to it.
County Clerk Trenchard will COM
mence moving his establishment on
Monday.

} FRAUDULENT VOTES.
CROOKED VOTING.AND INCOR-
RECT COUNTS.
Two Woes Gas on One Name In
the second Ward at the Flrs
Precinc

There were two votes cast on one
name in the First precinct of the Sec
ond ward on election day. The num-
ber of registered names checked off at
this precinct was 293 and the numper
of ballots that came out of the ballot
box was 294, just one ballot in excess
of the names checked as having voted.
Sometime during the forenoon, about
the Goth vote that was cast, according
to the statement of w. w. Lupton, the
the polling place and was taken in
charge by one of the challengers, J. V.
Brown, who assisted him, or wanted
to assist him in preparing his ticket,
This colored man entered the booth,
and then came out and offered his vote
and voted under the name of George
Black, 101 Orange street. He voted
and went away.
Just before the polls closed in the
evening, another colored man entered
the polling place, went into the booth
prepared his ballot and offered it to D.
A. Gentry, one of the judges, giving
the name and address of George Black
101 Orange street,
Inspector Samuel Hannahs running
his eye down the registry list to the
name of George Black, called out ''al
right" and the ticket was placed in
the slot, and the crank of the ballot
box given turn.
Just then Hannahs called out again,
''hold on, this name has been checked
off,"
The ticket was about half way
through the slot and no effort could
get it back, so it was finally run
through. This last man was known
to be the proper George Black.
Lupton says the man who voted as
George Black in the morning was
Charles Blackston, of Hopewell.
There were several errors made
when the tickets were being counted
and the whole lot had to be counted
over again.
w. w. Lupton and Stratton Moore
were keeping the tally, and when the
count was completed the first time,
Lupton's count on Assembly ballots
was, total 293, cast as follows:

J.. ]. Langdon and C. j. Scripture COM
planned that they had been employed by a
suh-contracior named Mcdonald, under
herns Bros, on South Fourteenth street,
and had been unable to get their pay. The
city engineer was instructed to inquire into
the matter.
The attention OF the board was called to
the proposal of r. p. Andrews, superin-
tendent OF construction of the new pipe
line, 10 purchase a stable which had been
erected at the expense of the city on his
lot on Window street, near Madison street.
Some question had been raised In regard
TO the construction OF the stable, and it
was decided TO investigate the matter to-
day. Mayor White. ex-Counciman
Twichell and Mr.. Andrews were requested
to testify.
eENcER reporter that last June Mr.. An
drews told him that he would erect shed
on his lot for the two horses used by him,
one of which was sick. Mr.. Twichen con-
tinued: II supposed that the stable would
cost $50 or $40, or not more than $40.
Instead of this Mr.. Andrews put up
stable costing about $780, He now wishes
to sell the lot with his residence and the
stable, and offers to pay the city the cost
OF the stable. He told the board of public
works that the stable was there. The
board OF the horses for four months has
been saved and $50 building will sell,
while $40 building would not. / think
charges against Mr.. Andrews are simply
inspired by those who desire to drive him
out of his position"
Mayor White said: 'sMr. Andrews OBJ
tanned permit to erect stable to cost
from $500 to $500, although he stated that
Mr.. Twichell only authorized him to put up
building to cost $50 or $40, consisting
simply of rough boards. My attention was
called to the matter by my finding on the
city payroiis charges for wages,
when it was not stated where the
men had been employed. / learned
that these men had been at work in Sep
TENDER and October on Mr.. Andrews sta
BILE and l then found that he had in
structed Fred e. Sanders to sell the lot
and buildings fc- $500. / sent
two detectives out there, and they were
shown all over the place by Mrs. Andrews,
who told them that the house and stable
belonged to Andrews After Andrews dis
covered that inquiry was being made into
the subject, he sent an offer to the board Of
public works to pay for the building"
