pickpockets Locked I'm.

The police were kept busy this morning
while the circus parade was In progress.
Chief Dolan had an officer in every square
and the result was that while but few ar
rests were made, law breakers were kept
within bounds, Detectives Money and
Witsil did the best work, They worked
against pick-pockets and into their net foil

Moore and George Wagner of Baltimore,

Among Lair sbelongngs were four tick.
cts on New York and Chicago offices
which arc suspicious. None Of the men
had their hands In other pockets than their
own but were all acting SO suspiciousy
that the willy detectives thought them SAT-
or behind prison bars
There was one fellow, William Boulder,
colored, who did get his hand int another
mans pocket. The pocket belonged to
Samuel Coyle, member Of the Board of
Education and from it his gold watch was
picked.
Mr.. Coyle felt the fellow, grabbed him
and turned him over to Police Sergeant
MoDermott who locked him up. Boulder
had cut the watch from the chain. He
will have hearing in Municipal Court
tomorrow morning.
There were several other arrests for dis
orderly conduct

In an interview, J. Edward Addicks Is
quoted as commencing the election of the
| Republican ticket. Mr.. Addloks says
that he gave $500 to the Republican City
| Campaign Fund, and declares that his Is
more than any other Republican sub
soribed.
| Mr. Addlcks also says that Colon Of
Henry A. DUPONT, Ithe Federal spoils dis.
penser for Delaware, contributed 500 to
the city campaign fund and that Henry
g. Morse, another prominent Regular
| Republican leader, made contribution
of SEQ.
A member of the Republican Committee
last night admitted tn at Addicks' figures
concerning the contributions Of DUPONT
, and Morse are correct, but he declared
| that Mr. Addicks did not contribute any,
thing to the Campaign Committee. He
| said: IF Mr.. Addicks made any gift of
| money it was to elect Councilmen in or
two wards so that in case the Republicans
controlled Council he might be able to
hold us up as was done in the election of
Senator at Dover!
lat the Democratic, primary election the
vote for Fahey, Mccoy and johnson was
54S6. The vote for McLear was i565.
On Saturday McLear received 400
and Fahey 1853 votes The candidate for
Mayor on the Single Tax ticket received
6i9 voters. If the Single takers had voted
for Fahey on Saturday he would have been
elected as there were hundreds Of colored
Republicans who refused to vote.
The police found but little work during
the day although there were many in.
stances where arrests should have been
made. In the east side districts many
drunken men crowded about the polling
places or near by them, and intinidated
Republicans. They also nearly precipitat-
ed several fights but the Democratic po
lice took no hand.
In addition to tho trouble before related
in the Fourth ward, it is said that Repub
licans were grossly dUftaudcd by the Dem
ocrats allowing men there to vote when
counted which should not have been.
This will, of course, show substantial
majority for Mr.. Holt. Altogether his
chances for election are good. AS for Mr.
Mccoy of the Twelfth ward, his chances
are equally 50.

An Important Election.

The election on Saturday next for Il
members of tho Board of Education will
be as Important an election as the one
held ON Saturday last 1t Is very necessary
that competent and capable men should
be elected from the respective wards to
look after our public schools, of which
there are some twenty seven In the city,
and in which 2l7 teachers are employed.
In the First ward-Daniel Ross is a
candidate for reelection, while Mr.. Jesse
X. Baylis will In all probability be his op.
ponent Mr.. Baylis before being elected
President Of Council two years ago repre-.
sented this ward in the Board. Mr. Ross
was selected by the Board to fill the vacan
cy. In the Second ward Mr.. Davis will
run in the place of Morris ID. Crossan.
In the Third ward, James ID. Carter
now member in the Board will run for
another term. There Is no opposition to
him. Mr.. Carter has made very efficient
member and his reelection is assured.
In the Fourth ward John II. Hartman
will be a candidate for reelection. Thus
far no opposing candidate has been nam
ed.
In the Fifth ward Lewis B. Morrow will
be candidate for reelection. There Is
talk of an opposing candidate being
brought out to run against Mr.. Morrow
but no person has come out for the honor.
1t will be we'll for any voter to come out
and show his preference at the coming
election. Mr.. Morrow has made good
member and deserves reelection.
In the Sixth ward, that we'll known
hustler Samuel H. Baynard will be q can.

opposition.
In the Seventh ward Dr. John Palmer
will be Il candidate for reelection.
In the Eighth ward j. Frank Baldwin

although considerable has been said about
Mr.. Baldwin, his election is assured. He
has made very efficient member of the

In the Tenth ward Mr.. r. +. Adatr will

After a Elend.

MEDIA, June Gan angry and excited
mob OF fifty or sixty men searched the
woods and fields about Upper Darby,
Secane and Lanellyn to-day for over an
hour for Albert Burton a young eolored
man, and II they had found him he would
probably have been roughly handled. Bur
ton resides at Horntown, aud it is alleged
early this afternoon attempted to commit
an assault upon 7-year-old Edith Mac
Bride, daughter OF Charles MaeBride, Of
Lanellyn.
Tho little girl was going from her
fathers homo to that Of her uncle George
Taylor, few blocks away, when, she says,
Burton caught her and carried her to q
clump of trees, but she screamed and he
ran away. Her description of the man
led to the belief that her assailant was
Burton, and this was strengthened also
by the fact that Burton had been seen
running at full speed across an open
field.
Constable Albert Layton and George C.
Taylor, uncle OF the little girl, started to
search for the refugee on horse back A
party OF sixty men on foot, carrying clubs
and two moosed ropes, was soon organized
Luckily for Burton he was caught before
the mob sighted him, When the Taylor
brothers reached Secane Station on the
Media railroad they met Robert Moore
who was about to take train going to-
ward Philadelphia. The Taylors asked
him to keep IL lookout from the train for
Burson, and If possible capture him If he
had to stop tho Train to do 50. Moore kept
sharp lookout along the highway on
which Burton was supposed to be going.
Half way to the next station he saw
man running at dog trot, and said to the
conductor, who had been made acquainted
with the case: "rhero's the man now"
The train slowed up and Moore sprang
Off He met Burton lace to face as the lat
tor came down the road and told him he
had better go back, While the two men
were parleying, Burton resisting going

ers rode up and Burton was put under
arrest He was told that an armed mob
was after him and he asked to be taken to
a safe place at once.
A hurried hearing was given the accus.
ell man before Squire Nlchols,at Glenold
en- and then he was taken in great haste
in carriage across country to Media jail,
The little MacBride girl identified Burton
as the man who attacked her, and his
clothing Tailed with her description be-
fore his arrest.
Burton declared that he was innocent.
He said he never saw the little girl before.
and he ran only because he was afraid Of
being lynched. He heard before going
that he was suspected and that his life was
threatened.
