POLITICS IN THE TENTH WARD.
The Democratic Club Finds II Diff
cult Work to Get a Candidate.

The Tenth Ward Democratic Club is
casting about for candidate to run
against the Alderman whom they arc
bound to down, If they can, because of his
poor Democracy, as they claim.
A meeting of the club was held yester-
day afternoon, when various prospective
candidates were talked over but so far
no one has been found who is willing TO
allow himself to be led TO the slaughter.
After IL was learned that neither Mr., Al
len nor Mr.. Carpenter would allow their
names to be used, Charles +. Gorrpah was
mentioned; but he, like the rest declined.
Then James G. Mohaghan's name was
put forward, and much surprise was man
ifested when it was discovered that he is
not qualified voter in this city.
, Then they were at loss as to what TO
do. One member OF the club made mo-
tion they advertise in the newspaper want
columns for an aldermanic candidate who
was willing TO bear the yoke, but this
idea did not suit and then a resolution
was adopted, appointing Messrs. Malledy,
Curran and Clancy COMMITTEES To walt
on Councilman Covell and request him to
run for alderman against West IL the in
terests of Democracy.
Mr.. Covell states that under no condi-
will he consent 10 have his name put for
ward by the Tenth Ward Democratic
Club and the West faction say that UNI
der no circumstances will his name be
dropped from the present ticket.
The Mount Pleasant Advance Club has
decided that it will stand by the West
ticket so long as Mr.. Covells name Is re-
tanned on it, as the appointment Of another
man from that district rs chairman Of the
highway committee would be matter OF
great uncertainty should Mr.. Coyell not
be reelected.
The Dead Sore Club also held meet
ing yesterday when the political situation
was discussed TO some extent, but IL was
decided that the club should not declare
itself for either faction until after the
ball. which comes next week, but it was
pretty thoroughly understood that under
no circumstances would the club lend its
support 20 the Tenth Ward Democratic
Club.
Another meeting of the Tenth Ward
Democracy will be held at Canavan's
store, S2 Bergen street, tonight, when
plans for the campaign will be still fur
iher discussed and the committee TO wait
on Mr.. Covell will make its report.

MOSES CADYS TRIAL.
II Was Begun in East Greenwich
before Supreme Court.
HE KILLED HIS OWN BROTHER.
The Black Sheep OF the FamiIy-story Of
the Crime-Testimony I'm the Case
CantreviIIe People I'm Court,
Especial TO the NEws.1

EAST GREENWICH, Oct. 19-The Su-
preme Court was crowded to-day by the
townspeople and residents of Centrevilie,
who gathered TO hear the evidence in the
trial of Moses f. Cady, who is under in
dictment for killing his brother, Ezra j.
Cady, Jr., Of Centreville, last January.
Moses Cady is the black sheep of his
family He has twice been married, the
first time getting divorce from his wife,
and in the second matrimonial venture his
wife leaving at the expiration of six
months.
Justices Rogers ahd Douglas are upon
the bench, Atty. Gen. Burbank appears
for the State and Messrs. Walter n. sSti-
ness and Charles j. Arms forwthe de-
fendant.
But little was accomplished before the
noon recess was ordered as many formali-
ties were necessarily observed. Mary B.
Cady, the stop-mother of the Cady boy,
was the first witness, her evidence being
in the nature of the family history for the
last five years. a good deal Of time was
used up in sparring for the introduction
Of the fact that Mozes had been in prison.
The counsel for the defence urged that 10
was offered 10 prejudice the prisoner in
the minds of the jury.
The matter got 70 the jury before it
could be stopped, and the only thing that
was left for the court 20 do was inform the
jury that the information given by the
witness on that point was TO be considered
only as it affected his credibility as a
witness. Mrs. Cady detailed the scene in
the house as above set forth, with the
additional feature that Moses threatened
TO strike her and that when Ezra inter
fered 60 save her from the assault Moses
seized Ezra by the shoulder and pushed
him back into his chair with great yio-
lence 80 thaC Ezra's head struck the top
OF the back of the chair.
All three went out TO the yard. Mrs.
Cady called out Help" Murder" and
Moses put his cap over his mouth and
tried 10 choke her, asking her what she
was making that noise for She did not
see Ezra when he was hit when in the
yard because it was dark, but she heard
someone's body strike with violence
against the woodshed Moses assisted her
into the house and then went away, the
Merrills, next-door neighbors, coming in
10 see what was the trouble. Recess

PRIZE FIGHTERS RAlDEO.
A Lively Contest on Gladstone Ave-
nue Stopped YeserdaY.

Shortly after o'clock yesterday morn
ing detachment OF police from Station o
made raid on a barn near Gladstone
avenue, i'm which a prize fight was in
progress The barn is the property of
Walter Morgan, and the match had been
the talk OF the neighborhood for the past
week. James Etchell and Harry Pierce,
two young admirers Of the more or less
manly art, were the principals, and were
pounding each other in a vigorous, though
unscientific manner when the cry of police
was raised.
The raiding party, under cover of the
darkness, had succeeded in getting TO the
barn door, when they ran onto two men
who were indulging in mill after
their own fashion. These were the owner
of the barn and young man named
Brady, who wished TO witness the fight
The arrival of the police, however, put a
stop TO their contest and in twinkling of
an eye both men disappeared from sight.
The raiding party, under the leadership
of Sergt. Lewis, broke into the barn and
made dash for the ring. Pierce gave
one look at the intruders and spun away
from his opponent, who fell into the hands
of the visitors.
John McKenna, Etchell's second, was
also arrested. The crowd of spectators,
about $50 in all, mede tremendous dash
for liberty and, breaking down one side
of the barn. escaped into the darkness.
Within the space of n few seconds there
was not n person save the police and the
prisoners TO be seen within mile of the
premises Etchell and McKenna were
taken TO the Sixth station, but were re-
leased later Pierce, after the departure
OF the police from the scene, returned to
the barn and secured his clothes, after
which he returned TO his home.

It Causes a Series Of Terrible Trage-
dies in'Iowa.
FATHER AND BROTHER DEAD,
The Girl He Loved Would Not Marry
Him So He Loaded His Revolver for
Her-she Escaped, but Her Male Pro-
tectors Suffered.

McGREGoR, Ia, Oct 19.-Henry Hahn
who has been paying attention to Miss
Otto asked her recently to become his
wife; her refusal so worked upon his mind
that he became insane, and procuring a
revolver he went TO her house yesterday
and called for her. Fearing harm she re-
fused TO see him and her father went in
stead.
Upon the appearance of the father, Hahn
drew the revolver and shot him through
the head, inhicting mortal wound.
William Otto, the wounded mans brother,
hearing the shot rushed To the door and
was at once shot in the heart by Hahn, dy-
ing instantly.
Hahn then made an Intellectual attempt
TO kill himself and fed TO the woods near
the town. The city marshal at once sum
moned party of men and started after
the murderer. The feeling is so high that
Hahn will probably be lynched II caught,
as the murdered men were highly re-
spected.
