Been Drowned.
The Vessel Probably Foundered of
the New Jersey Coast.
Body OF the Captain Found and
Wreckage Picked Up.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The stern wheel
steamboat City of Haverhill, which sailed
from this port on Wednesday last in tow
OF the tug Luckenbach, has been lost at
sea off the New Jersey ceast and as
far as is known at present all Of
tho men, supposed to number ten.
On board were drowned. The Lucken-
bach parted company with the steam boat
when outside of the Hook on Thursday
and the latter proceeded south under
her own steam, expecting to put into
Barnegat on Thursday night and proceed
on her voyage to Key West on Friday
morning. The heavy gale which blew all
day Thursday was too much for the boat
which was light draught and top heavy,
and it is supposed that she foundered
some time during the day or night.
The first news OF her was on the
arrival OF the steamship Kron-
prlnz Frederick Wilhelm yesterday
with one OF the pilots OF the James
Gordon Bennett, who reported that at
about 3 p. M, on March 20, the body of the
captain OF the City OF Haverhill was
picked up about "a miles southwest OF
Barnegat Light. From papers found
on the body it was identified as
that OF Captain Warren p. Watrous OF
Key West, who is in command OF the
out after that and saw a lot of benches
and chairs and the wheel house of the
steamboat. Nothing else was sighted.

Slight Opposition to RepubIi-

No Change in the Situation of Affairs
at the Mills.
THE NEWS BuRrAv. oIvnYvrLLE, 4,
No 5. Hartford Avenue.

The Republican nominees for Senator
and Representative will have walkover
tomorrow, there being no Democratic
nominations. They are opposed only by
the Prohibition and Socialist Labor can
didates, who together will probably poll
200 votes. For second Representative
there is fourth candidate in the
person of Harrison L. Winsor on
nomination papers. He may poll $50 votes
chances OF the regular Republican
nominee. The fight for commis-
sioner OF highways promises to be
hotly contested, as the Democrats and a
faction OF the Republican party have COM
bined TO defeat the present commissioner,
John Walsh, the Republican nominee.
Mr.. Walch had 672 majority last year,
and while it is not expected he will have
as large a one at this election, owing TO
the personal popularity of his opponent,
his friends confidently expect it TO reach
between four and five hundred.
The Mil Situation.
remains unchanged. Mr.. Charles Fetch
er is in New York on business, and
the executive committee will be
obliged to await his return before
they can present their schedule of wages
10 him. The other mill owners were not
waited upon yesterday, but II is said they
will be today. Ii Will be so late, however,
as to probably cause the meeting tonight
TO be of no Importance.

TWO BREAKS.
Thieves Enter a Cigar Store and a
Sail Loft.
Not Much Stolen and Police Feel Sure
OF Their Man.

Thieves broke into George Tanners
cigar store, 925 Westminster street, some
time last night and stole pipes to the
value of so. The money drawer was
broken open and IS were taken.
The sail loft OF John +. Lassen, 436
Washington street, was also entered. A
roller top desk was broken open by
the thief or thieves but they did
not succeed in getting anything. The
police are of the opinion that a we'll
known character who hangs around the
corners of that vicinity is the
man. The key TO Mr.. Tanners
shop was lost about four weeks
ago, and as all of the doors, bot h in the
front and in the rear of Mr.. Tanners shop
were found locked by the officers on the
beat, it Is presumed that this man
had the key in his possession.
The Sail loft was entered by forcing open
a window in the rear OF the building, and
"a the loft Is two stories above the street
those who entered the building could do
as they wished without fear of being dis
turbed by anyone.

To illustrates: On the property lists

at 600 In 1892. They didn't own the
property truly and duly and never paid
any tax, but their names were left on.

in vogue elsewhere declares that q

been asked to appear before the COM
missioners and explain the mistake, but
has so far failed to do so.
Others voted on the strength OF the
fact that their wives were assessed Tor $50
on property in which they mad no equity.
Others had their names on the lists OF
the First, Seventh Fig nth and Ninth wards
as well as those OF the Tenth, from mere
thoughtlessness.
Aud this not all. The i20 discoveries are
the result OF the first raking over, and
only shows the superficial virtues OF the
Tenth ward system. That system is not
without its merits from the humorous
points of view and heretofore the resi-
dents of the ward have had no occasion
TO come dow town TO see the farce come
dies when the canvass was in progress.
For instance, this dialogue:
A Canvasser-Does anycpe know Peter
O'Milligan?
Citizen-Yes; he's been dead five years.
Canvasser--Can you swear to IL?
CitiZen-Yes; j was one OF the pail
bearers.
Canvasser-Ca you swear that he was
not merely in trance and has not since
been dug up?
Citizen-No, sir.
Canvasser Then Peter O'Milligan's
name should be retained.
And at another time when a canvasser
was told that man had been in Ireland
for five years he replied to his informant
that IL he would 60 TO Ireland and see the
gentleman there he would then consider
the advisability of considering his state
ment.
A party of 420 dead mems proxies and
illegitimate actuals are expected to visit
the commissioners of registration early
Thursday morning, but they can't vote
tomorrow.
After election the commissioner will
rake again. They propose TO be as
thorough in their Investigation of property
values as are the tax assessors and by
the end OF the present year hope to have
against the name of every man on the
voting lists just what his qualifications
consist of.

Only One Way fr the Southern Pacific
TO avoid "a Strikr.
SAN FRANcIsco, Feb. 2.-Chief Arthur,
OF the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-
gineers, was in consultation With the
engineers of the Southern Pacific com
pany today. L. NJ. Meyer. chairman of
the grievance committee, says the
trouble between the engineers and ths
Southern Pacific will be definitely ad-
iusted on Monday. 1t will be either a
concession by the railroad company, or
O strike. Chief Arthur said:
'The engineers have a serious griev-
ance and it would be impossible for me
to cay how il will end. There has been
a sweeping reduction OF wages without
any good reason for it. There will be a
joint conference OF railroad officials and
engineers on Monday. II the company
does not make the concession which we
think is right and Just, there will be q
strike ordered"
Southern Pacific officials scof at the
idea OF strike and say that in under
standing will be reached. Chief Arthur
Gays that perhaps the American Railway
union msy feel some resentment on ac-
count of the attitude of the engineers
