JUNCTION ToUGHS
Act Disorderly Right Under the Eyes
of the Police.

A gang of young toughs hang about the
Junction and do pretty much as they please.
Last night they committed sad havoc at the
home Of Mrs Walton, of Communipaw and
Arlington avenues. The boys got after Old
Pat Killeen and pelted him with e ones. Pat
was on Grand street, back of Mrs. Walton's
house. Mrs Walton, her little daughter
and her brother, Mr. Taylor, were seated at
the supper table, Mrs. Walton had begun
to serve tea when a stone crashed through
the window and struck Mr.. Taylor on the
head, infiieting q deep cash. A piece Of
glass entered the wound. The glass few all
over the tablo and covered everything on it
and everybody at it. The table was wreck
AL the dishes were smashed and all the food
was covered with bits of glass.
Mrs Walton told NEWS reporter this
morning that the same boys have smashed
her green house and have broken the win
dows of several houses in the vicinity. .As

"they congregate in the lot back of my
house every Sunday morning and shoot

GRAVEsEND's INSPECTORS.
Will Plead Guilty and Join NIcKane
In Sing Sing.

NEW York, March 23. 1894-Of the
twenty two men of Gravesend who were in :
dicted for election crimes or misdemeanor,
eighteen remain to be disposed of. All of
these it was said on Coney Island this morn
ing, will plead guilty. That they should do
this, several of their bondsmen said this
morning, was part of the agreement entered
into by Newton and the prosecution.
Indeed, the election inspectors say they
might have pleaded guilty just after Nc
Kane was convicted. if they had not been
counseled by Newton to hold off while.
Then, when it began to get too hot for New
ton, he used the inspectors as lever to con-
vince the prosecution that. If they would let
him off easily, he would arrange to save the
State lots Of money, and the prosecution
lots Of work, by having the inspectors plead
guilty also
Some of the friends of the inspectors are
very angry at Newton at the apparently
double game he played.
William G. Pearson, the pipe manufacture
er of Sheepshead Bay, who is on the bonds of
several of the indicted election inspectors of
Gravesend, this morning surrendered Harlan
Crandal and Nicholas j. johnson to Sheriff
Buttling. Pearson was on Johnson's bond
for IS, 900, and on Crandal's for 81, 500. He
is on the bonds Of William T. Ryan, Victor
Baus, Joseph H. Cropsey, G. Steubenbord
and r. e. Bader. He will surrender all
these men this afternoon. They win plead

THE UNHAPPY O'LAUGHLINS.
wife Says Her Husband Is a Brute
Won't Live with Him.

Peace never was a factor in the manage
ment of the household of the O'Laughlins,
of Willow Terrace, Hoboken. Peter, the
husband, three days ago caused notice to
be published in local paper stating that
he would not settle bills there
after contracted by his wife. He
stated to reporter that he was wearied of
her relatives, whom he had great portion
of the time to support. When they were
not living on his money at his own house,
his wife would make contributions to them
on the outside, said he. These assertions
have rufled up Mrs. O'Laughlin's feelings,
and this morning when she was seen by
JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter she declared
she had of her own volition left her husband
and would never allow reconciliation.
She said -
s'I have been married to that man eight
years was not aware that he had wife and
five children in Ireland when married him,
nor that he had a stunning lot of bills un-
paid After we were married there was

END THE DRUG DEAL
Repeater of the Board of
Finance Confirmation
Law Ready.
TO BE INTRODUCED MONDAY
James s. Erwin Said to Be Lobby
ing Against the
Measure.

TRENTON, March %, 1894. 94.-Ex-Judge John
A Blair. City Attorney Spencer A. Weart,
his rival, James s. Erwin and ex-Judge
William p Douglas visited the State House
yesterday morning Judge Blair, Mr..
Weart and Mr.. Douglass went into Clerk
Potts private Office where there were many
of the members. 1t was noticed that several
Of the Newark Assemblymen were presented
to the Jersey City visitors and long whis-
pered conversations were held between
them. There was a general air of mystery
about the proceedings which created COM
ment. When spoken to, Judge Blair and
MIR. Weart smilingly said that they only
came down to see how several bills relating
to Jersey City were getting along, while Mr..
court and while he was waiting for it to be
called he thought he would come down stairs
and watch the proceedings.
The truth of the matter is that the gentle
men brought with them bill which repeals
the act of last year which gives the Board
of Finance the power to confirm the nomina-
tions of the Mayor by four-fifths VOTE
This the friends of Mayor Wanser think
will be the best way out of the present fnan-
cial muddle now in progress in that city
The bill will be introduced Monday evening
probably by Mr. Harding and will be put
through with bells on
LAST YEARS LAW
The law which the bill seeks to repeal was
one of the Wanser wing clippers of last year,
which the Governor vetoed, and no inter
ference with the repeater is expected from
the Executive Chamber. But in case the
Governor should veto the measure it would
be rapidly passed over his veto.
The STAINLESS and disreputable drug deal
made by the Fielder-Hilhe combination is
well known in Trenton and has made many
warm friends fol Mayor Wanser.
1t is said that ex-Assemblyman Erwin,
who by virtue of the same drug deal, claims
to be Corporation Attorney, was down
here opposing the BILL He endeavored to
see as many of the Republican members as
he could and secure their opposition to the
BILL He did not meet with much success,
however,
MR.. ERWIN has A BILL.
Not only was Mr.. Erwin lobbying against
Mr. Blair's bill, but he had little measure
of his own. This is in the interest of the
present Board of Finance and tends to keep
himself and Mr.. Brinkerhof in the Office
they received through the deal.
Mr.. Erwin met with but little success in
interesting the members in his bill, and
whatever favor it wasI received with
is overcome by the attitude of the Republi-
can leaders, who are with the Mayor, and
frown severely upon any Wanser wing clip
per, which comes from republicans, alleged
or otherwise.

the officers of the police, are in sympathy
with the students, and will, in all probable

efforts to forcibly close the theatres in the
event of their attempting to give perform

defence.
About twenty persons were injured in

MISS FULLER HAD COMPLAINED.
Informed Lawyer Mullen Often of
Mageess Attentions.

Magee,s AIEentlOnS.
NEW York, March 49, 1S94.-The Euen-
ing Telegram says:-The one point lacking
to establish motive for the Fuller-Magee
tragedy has been found.
Evidence has been secured from an entire
ly new source, proving beyond doubt that
Magee annoyed Miss Fuller with his atten
tions during the greater part of her two
years employment in Lawyer Mullens
Office, and that, in spite of the latters de-
nial she told her friends that she had ap-
pealed to him for protection from Magee.
The evidence referred to comes from one
of Miss Fuller's friends, a young woman
typewriter. Out of consideration of the
young lady's dislike of notoriety, the name
of the latest witness in the matter is with
held, although her story is in the hands of
the police and will figure in the examination
before the Coroner
In speaking of the matter, the young
woman referred to said that Miss Fuller had
told her very shortly after she went into
Lawyer Mullen's Office, that Magee began
to annoy her with his attentions. She had
been in the Office about two years, and
Magee began to burden her with his avow-
ais of affection very soon after she went
Mis- Miss Fuller found his admiration very
distasteful, and told her friend of it. They
talked the matter over, and, as Magee con-
tinued to make advances in spite of all Miss
Fuller could do to prevent him, she threat
ened to report him to Mr. Mullen if he did
not desist. Magee paid no particular atten-
tion to this threat and SO Miss Fuller went
to Mr.. Mullen with her story Of Magee's an
noyances.
Upon being told that Mr.. Mullen had said
that Miss Fuller never complained to him of
Magee, the young lady said;-"But she un-
len said that If the annoyance continued he
would see that stop was put to it,"

RIOTS AT sANTANDER.
Popu1ace Stone the Civil Governor
Another Explosion Prevented.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

Oy Cdbte TO the U1elted PfeSS.
SANTANDER, March "a, 1S94.-Violent
demonstrations of the Indignation of the
citizens at what they believe to have been
criminal carelessness in causing the explosion
of dynamite in the sunken wreck of the
steamer Cabo Machichaco were renewed last
night In spite of the efforts of the largely
reinforced body of gendarmes to prevent the
gathering of crowds an immense mob as
sembled early in the evening and made
rush for the offices of the owners of the
sunken steamer. The mob got together with
such incredible quickness that the troops
were taken completely by surprise and the
crowd had surrounded the offices of the
owners and were pelting the building with
stones almost before the police were aware
of what was going on.
While this mob was making its attack,
another crowd of equally large proportions
made its appearance In front OF the resi-
dence of the Civil Governor and began bonn
harding 1t with stones The Governor made
his appearance and commanded the mob to
disperse, but he was answered with shouts
and curses, and finally with volley of
stones, causing him to retreat indoors
By this time the gendarmes had arrived
upon both scenes in force The crowds were
ordered to dlsperse, but the answers were
similar to that given to the Governor. The
troops then fired upon the mobs and they
quickly scattered in all directions. Several
persons were struck by bullets, but it is not
thought that any of them was seriously in
jured.
The official report on the dynamite ex-
plosion gives the number killed eighteen
and the injured seven, of whom three may
die.
The authorities, though convinced that
there is no more dynamite remaining in the
hull of the sunken vessel, have ordered the
destruction of the wreck by means of pc
tards. This is done to satisfy the general
demand that no more lives be endangered by
attempting to remove what may remain of
the ships cargo.
The victims of the explosion were buried
yesterday. Some of the bodies were mangled
beyond recognition.

AFFAIRS IN BLUEFIELDs.
Americans Continue to Ignore the
Demands of Lucayo.

Americans Continue to Ignore the
Demands of Lucayo.
NEW ORLEANS, March %, 1894-The con-
dition of affairs in Bluefelds, Nicaragua, is
as unsettled as ever. The English are still in
control of the police protection Of the city,
and are in fact in practical control of the
entire reservation. Lucayo remains at Blue
fields and refuses to vacate, but his position
is not recognized, and the Americans con-
tinue to ignore his demand upon them for
payment of the shipping dues. Late last
night the steamship VIM. G. Hewes OF the
Southern Pacific line, arrived from the
Southern seaport town with the latest news.
The committee of three Nicaraguans and
two natives of New Orleans, which was ap-
pointed to arrange some provisional govern
ment. had held several meetings, but, having
come to no agreement, disbanded. There
now seems to be no attempt whatever to
bring about a peaceful government. The
commander Of the Cleopatra, be-
sides being the commander OF the
police protection of the city,
has assumed control of the government to q
certain extent, and this is all the govern
ment there is in the city. Commissioner
Lacayo remains in the city and refuses to go
out of the boundaries of the reservation.
Cleopatra still rides at anchor of the Blue
fields, but is expected to leave very shortly.
On Friday last the British battlesmp Blake
came in sight of the bluffs off Bluefelds and
during the afternoon came toanchor near
the Cleopatra This vessel is expected to re-
main at her present anchorage, and the
Cleopatra will travel for the northern seas.
The arrival of the Blake was expected, or
rather it was known that vessel would
relieve the Cleopatra. but it was
thought that the relief boat
would be small one, and
not the flagship of the British squadron.
Several days ago Lacayo received letter
from the President of the Nicaragua in
structing the Commissioner to place in the
streets of Bluefields 80 armed men to serveas
a patrol, and 1000 men would be sent as re-
inforcements if they were wanted. This
letter was shown to the commander of the
Cleopatra, and Lacoyo was advised that If he
wished to preserve peace in the reservation,
to decline to receive the men and to dismiss
those troops who still hang around Blue
fields. Lacoyo took this advice, and the
following day the remnants OF the original
body which took the town some six weeks
ago were sent by boat to Rama.
