There Was Secret Opposition to the r,

There Was Secret Opposition to the Re-
form--Many Voters Didn't Know That
an Election Was Being Held.
Special Correspondence Gazette and Journal
GEoRGETowN. May 20.--Yesterday's CON
stitutional convention election was very
quiet, but taking into consideration the
trial at which it was held much interest
was taken.. In Georgetown hundred there
was opposition, secret opposition, which
was confined to no political party. But
Notwithstanding the opposition the vote
for convention was 21 in excess Of the
vote cast for it four years ago. In the
western part of the county the farmers are
busy in their berry crop and could NOT
spare the time. But the decreased vote of
Sussex county is due to opposition TO a
convention. In Georgetown, Broadkiln
and Cedar Creek hundreds there were in
creased votes for convention while in all
the other hundreds there was a decrease.
Another thing that operated against a
full vote being polled in this county was
the short time given to arouse the people,
and it is fact that there are hundreds OF
people in this county who knew nothing
of an election being held. Some prominent
men i'll some of the hundreds did not want
the people to know about il, as one gentle
man said to your correspondent about two
weeks ago .rhe people over our way don't
know anything about it and don't want
them to know anything about it" All sorts
of arguments were used to keen the voters
away, one being that the men who usually
take tin on election day were told that if
they voted for convention it would stop
them from getting anything for their
votes and as consequence they stayed at |
home. However, the vote for conven- |
lion was large considering the time of |
holding the election.

The Action of Two Constubles Creates "a
Great Sensation and Disturbance.

County Constablcs Brown and Neutze
created big sensation on Shipley street
between Seventh and Eighth Wednesday
week by an alleged attempt to serve Il
warrant upon the eproprictrcss Of arepnricd
house of unsityury repute. These men
took two friends with them to witness the
operations of the law. There was such a
disturbance created by the officers that
Mayor Harrington, who was taking a
lunch at neighbOring restaurant, hastily
proceeded to the scene to suppress the dis
order. He summoned a posse Of officers
10 his aid who shortly arrived, ana a
struggle began. After the mayor had
learned that the. invading quartet were
clothed in the majesty Of the law, he with
drew his blue coats and left the constablcs
masters Of the situation. A great throng
Of people blocked up the streets during the
disturbance.
The woman whose household was as
sailed stated on Wednesday that the two
constablcs and their companions broke
open the door of her domicile Wednesday
and forced an entrance during her ali
sence. When she returned the female
members of the household were in tears,
everything was in a state of excitement
and the men were drunk. She inquired
the cause and was informed that the con
stables had warrant for her arrest on the
charge Of keeping disorderly house. The
warrant which she says was shown her
possessed no signature of justice
OF the peace, and was irregular, but
two hours later, after the disturbance was
over, they returned with a warrant from
Justice Monaghan. They told the woman
she must come to Squire Monaghan's next
morning, plead guilty to the charge set
forth in the warrant and pay a fine Of $50
and the costs The woman went to the
office of the justice of peace next morning
~ the appointed hour and was informed
that there was no charge against her and
the parties abandoning the case desiring to
keep the matter quiet
Constable Brown, one of the invading
officers, stated Thursday that he had a
properly made-out warrant when he first
visited the house, and that the appearance
Of the officers set the women in Mysteries,
hence the noise. He denies any of the
party was intoxicated. Brown refused to
make known the name of the party swear
ing out the warrant, and admitted that
there would be no charges brought against
the woman. He desired to have the mat
ter quieted, and added that Neutze was the
one who had the warrant, and he with the
other two men just went along to assist
him in the capture of the woman.
The woman insists that the constables
abused their authority for the purpose of
imposing upon her and for the direct OBJ
Ject of eNtorting money. 1t is quite ap
parent thnt there are some gross irrcgll-
larltleS in the case which are not explained,
and the general feeling in the community
Is that the officers outrageonsly abused
their authority

During his official term Mayor Harring-
ton has. on various occasions, fined mem
bers Of the police force sums varying from
50 to Sl5 for derelictions of duty. The
fine was invariably collected by deiucting
roll. Thus, when the officer who was
fined sl5 received his check from the city
treasurer. the check would be for S45. in
stead Of $50. 1t is now claimed that this
procedure was illegal, as there Is no law
for the imposition of fines, and the city
i bound to Ray policeman his full salary
mode, il is claimed, would have been to
pay the police their checks in full and then
require them to pay their fines in cash.
This would show that the city had dis
charged its full obligation to the officers.
This view, being regarded as legal, all the
Officers who were fined, it is said, intend
ssueing the city for the amounts withheld
from them
