M'PHILLIPS HIDING.
The Sheriff Keeps Out of
the Way of Ballot Box
Suffers Friends.
EIGHT STILL AT LARGE.
No Progress Today-Yesterday's
Batch Don Stripes-Pleas
of Guilty.

Sheriff McPhillips was very scarce to-
| day. He could not be found anywhere.
He had not been seen by anyone about
| the Court House since he left with the
| contingent of ballot box suffers for Tren-
ton yesterday. 1t was known that he re-
turned from Trenton last night. He took
a Pennsylvania Railroad train from there,
got off at Newark and waited for
way train which he boarded and got of
| at Marion. Perhaps the fact that the
Marion station was nearer his home was
the cause of his doing this, but it is con-
sidered more than likely that he did not
care to face the angry friends of the men
he had taken to State Prison.
Jerry" Maher. the Sheriff's under
study, was very much about this NOR n
ing. He was sitting In the Sheriff's
office when a couple of reporters entered
aud asked for some information as to his
boss Whereabouts.
He has gone to Trenton" was the
what train did he take?" Maher was
asked.
"rhs 1o.45," was the reply in the Same
On the desk in front of "Jerry'' were
commitments for Jacob Moschell, ).
Thomas Derancev, Thomas Fallon and
James Hart. These commitments were
awaiting the arrival of the Sheriff.
The above, named constituted the
first batch of election officers
tried and it was on their cases that the
original appeals were taken. For some
reason the remittitur in their cases was
delayed until this morning. As soon as
fIar ftxrr 4<&~
papers were made out and Immediately
sent to the Sheriff's office.
Judge Lippincott did not take any
action today. Yesterday he told the
Sheriff that is Buckridge, Mulrain. Ken
| nedy and Miller did not appear, he would
Kennedy and Miller are still at liberty.
EIGHT STILL AT LARGE.
Thus there are eight men yet to be
gathered in by the Sheriff. They are:-
Mulraln, Kennedy and Miller, for whom
the Court has commitments and who
have been sentenced to States Prison:
| Moschell, Derancey. Fallon and Hart, for
| whom commitments are now In the

of them will retract their plea of not
mercy of the Court not to extend their
| time over six months In the Penitentiary
at Snake Hill.
CLOTHED IN STRIPES.
| 1t was precisely five o'clock yesterday
afternoon when the ballot box suffers

Henry Speers.
| AS soon as the prisoners were formally
| turned over to the prison officials by
| Sheriff McPhillips, they were taken to
the barber's shop and their hair and
whiskers were cut off clean as q whistle.
The men were then given q bath and
dressed in the black and yellow garb Of
| stripes of the prison.
SAD SCENE.
| There were several pathetic scenes en-
acted at the depot while the ballot box
suffers were waiting with the Sheriff
| and Constables for O train to start.
| Francis Whelan cried like child. and
begged some one to tell him who would
| care for his family during his imprisou-
| ment. Peter j. Cassidy was also crying
| He saw his mother and betrothed ap-
preaching. A Rateman endeavored to
prevent the two women from passing
| through the gates, but the mother would
| not have 1t. She pushed him aside cry
ing
II must see my bov," The older wom-
an pushed on and dragging the younger
woman with her soon reached the weep
ing Cassidy. He braced up and tried to
smile as ne said;-
"Oh, I'll only be away few days at
| most; the lawyers will soon have us ous
again.
The parting of mother and son was
affecting when the ballot box suffers
were hurried into the special car that had
been engaged for them.
Joe Buckridge surrendered himself in
court after the crowd had gone on their
railroad trip. and Constable Zoeller TOOK
him down on later train.
