Democratic Committee Looking Out
For Coiored Repeaters.
The Democratic County Committee is
keeping Chief Murphy's squad of regis
try inspectors busy verifying names,
which are believed to have been entered
on the registry lists by corrupt Repub-
lican candidates. Police Commissioner
Feeney this morning submitted the
names of twenty colored men for investi-
cation. 1t is believed that many colored
repeaters have been brought from New
York to be used tomorrow throughout
the entire city. The members of the,
Democratic County Committee have ap-
pointed an unusually large force of
watchers at the polls, and any man at
tempting to vote upon an Illegally reg
istered name will be promptly challenged
and arrested. Up to the present time time
been found to be Illegally registered.
There is such strong likelihood of
many arrests being made for Illegal
registration tomorrow that Police JUS
tices Potts nnd Douglass have consent
ed to hold court all day. All the cases
will be disposed of without delay.

Hoboken Row Brings to Light a
Objectionable Place

Mrs. Louisa Schumann OF No. 1O9
Eighth street, New York, visited Mrs.
Matilda Heismann of No. Court street,
Hoboken, Saturday night, and the two
became involved in a discussion that ter
minated in a fight. Detective Fenton of
Police Headquarters locked them up.
The case may lead to acharge against
Mrs. Heismann of keeping a disorderly
house. From present information it
seems that Mrs. Schumann was lured
into the house under false pretences,
and when she discovered what kind of a
place it was, she fought to get away.
The case will come up before the Re
corder this afternoon.
