RAID FOR SPITE.
Policemen Invade a House
Without a Warrant.

The police of the Second precinct last
night raided an alleged disorderly house
at No. 165 Tenth street, upon the CONS
plant of Theodore Bloom, who lives id
the same fiat with Mrs. Loretta Schrand,
the alleged proprietress, who, with Nettie
Walcott. aged twenty-nine; George Griffin,
aged twenty-five, of No. SAT First street,
and John Brady, of No 1888 Fourth street.
were placed under arrest.
The raid was made by Policemep
Rourke and Feehan.
About three o'clock this morning
Bloom, who is evidently jealous of Mrs.
Schrand, met officer Rourke on the street
and asked him to pull the house. The
officer sought Feehan, and with Bloom
went to the house.
On entering the bedroom the police
found Griffin in bed, while the two wom-
en- seantily dressed We're crouched behlaJ
the doors. Brady was also partly dressed
All were taken to the Second Precinct
Police Station, where they We're locked
up. The two men were released under
bail. The women were compelled to re-
main in jail all night.
When arraigned before Justice Nevin
this morning the court did not want to
hold the prisoners because the evidence
of Bloom was not strong enough The
Justice, however, laid the case over un-
til tomorrow in order that the other resi-
dents of the house might be summoned
to testify as to the character of the place.
Mrs. Schraud was held in $500 bail
The others were held in $780,

The Democratic nominating convention
takes place next Wednesday evening. The

the gentlemen who were elected at the
primaries have signified their willingness

Mayor Hoos laughingly remarked this

next Thursday he will start out for a
canvass that viii paralyze the Republi-

successful

that the whole Democratic ticket will be
elected but he does not propose taking
any chances. Next week ne will start his

POLITICS IN HOBOKEN.
McGovern Will Not Break
the Ranks of the
Democracy.

The Councilmanic fight promises to be
an interesting one. Yesterday aspirants
for the nominations to be made at the
Democratic open primaries next Wednes-
day fled their petitions with the City
Committee.
Surprise was occasioned by the an
nouncement made at the last moment by
Councilman Joseph McGovern that he
was not candidate for reelection III the
Fourth Ward. 1t was understood that
Committeeman Andrew Hopper was the
choice of Leader Robert Davis and
would receive the nomination on the reg
ular ticket. McGoverns S popularity in his
own ward is SO great that his friends be-
lieved he would run independently and
have sure thing.
Mr.. McGovern, when asked by a
News" man why he had withdrawn from
the race, said:-
Il am a Democrat and l do not believe
in creating a disturbance on. the ticket.
I still believe, however, that l would
have been elected had I rum
Councilman T. William Bender did not
file petition. 1t has been understood
for some time past that he would seek re-
election on the Stuhr ticket. The same
has been said of Councilman Steuerwald.
The real contest will be between the
reg sular Democratic nominees and the
Stuhr candidates, as the Republican aspir-
ants for Councilmanic honors are nearly
as scarce as those for the Mayoralty
chair.
The Republican City Committee met
credentials of the delegates elected at the
primaries Wednesday night, to the city
and ward conventions. The session was
devoted solely to routine work.

BIRD IN The HAND.
Jarvis Preferred Light Sem
tence to New Trial and
AcquittaI.

Lawyer William M. klink made an ap-
plication to Judge Blair yesterday for a
new trial for John Jarvis, who was con-
victed of receiving a tub of butter stolen
by Thomas Fitzpatrick from James K.
Kinkead, a grocer, on Montgomery street.
Fitzpatrick, who was employed by Kim
kead, had customers of his own and was
doing a very profitable business In fact,
the money he received was all profit, as
he stole the stock from Kinkead.
Mr.. K1ink said that Mr.. Jarvis had an
excellent reputation, and is now holding
responsible position with Acker, Mer-
rill & Condit, in New York 1t did not
seem right, Mr. Klink said, that a
stain should be put upon the character of
an honest man by self-confessed thief
like Fitzpatrick Mr.. Jarvis was conf
dent that new trial, either by a jury
or by the court, would result in his ac-
quittal Mr.. Klink said that he was not
engaged in the case until the morning of
the trial. and was therefore unprepared.
Assistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle said
that he knew Mr.. Jarvis and knew him
to be a. man of good reputation but he
had been convicted by a jury and in his
opinion thestestimony warranted the ver-
dict.
',The Court. said Judge Blair, had
decided to suspend sentence in this case,
on payment of costs, but is willing to
grant a new trial, with the understand
ing, however, tlat the defendant, if con-
vieted again, could not expect to receive
ANY special leniency."
\ Mr.. Klink consulted with his client and
then informed the Court that a new trial
would not be insisted upon Sentence
was suspended lpor1 payment of costs.
The same disposition was made in the
case of Thomas SeWell, another grocer,
who had pleaded non vult to an indict
ment for receiving goods stolen from
Kinkead by Fitzpatrick.

LYNCH|NG OUTRAGE.
Georgia's Governor Indig-
nant at Palmetto
Mob.

ATLANTA, Ga, March II, 1S99.-Gover-
nor Gambler is very bitter in his denuncia-
ton of the Palmetto affair He attributes
the trouble to the fact that negro regi-
ments and soldiers have been passing
through the country and the sight of
them has placed in the mind of the negro
a spirit of boldness.
1.-THE Palmetto lynching was as deplor-
able as it was bloody and cowardly," said
the Governor 'It is true the town was
burned in the night time, endangering the
lives of all its women and children. 1t Is
true that / had offered heavy rewards for
the apprehension of the incendiaries and
that these negroes had been arrested ana
some of them had confssed their guilt, and
implicatd the others in the crime But
it was cowardly and barbarous to slaugh-
ter them as this mob did, for they had
been arrested and were in-the hands OF
officers of the law awaiting committing
trial. The law was adequate for Their
punishment, and there was no DOUBT OF
their speedy trial and punishment, II con-
victed.
fsUntil recently there was no race fric-
ton in the State. The Georgia negro IS
not naturally vicious nor predisopse9a, a,,,io 10
was demonstrated during hundred years
of slavery. The Georgia white man IS
not his enemy as he has had apundlant l
/
citizen Such outrages as this never, or
seldom occurred in this State till regi-
ments of insolent, drunken negro sol
diers, the scum of the dives of the cities
mort hand south, were quartered here ana
there is in the State and in the
South A mob of negro soldiers
ran riot in Tampa and outraged
women in broad daylight. Another gang
of drunken vagabonds in Macon dened
and tried to fire on the police. tor
months another regiment of these laWless
vagabondS wearing the uniform OF the
United States soldiers, terrorized ChIcka- :
mauga and the town, of Lytle, IN Norsn
Georgia, to say nothing of the Grimm
They had to be escorted through every
Southern city through which they passed
after they were discharged, by battalion
of police, to prevent their iooting the
stores and terrorizing the people.
s'The Leesburg outrage, the Palmetto
burning, and many other similar crimes
committed in Georgia by negroes during
the last few months are due to the bane-
full influence and example of these law
less rowdies who disgraced the uniforms
they wore. This is the primary cause
of all these troubles. Still this does not
Justify the blood and barbarous retalia-
ton Of Leesburg and Palmetto.
.'The white men who participated In
these sanguinary dramas are unjustifia-
BILE for their conduct as the negroes they
lynched
Both are disgrace to our civilization
and a. reproach to our State and all the
power of the State shall be used to pre-
vent a recurrence of such crime and TO
punish the perpetrators.

May Not Run for Mayor After
All--Petitions Still
Coming.

The Central Organization of the Nc
Evan Association held its regular weekly
meeting last night.
The Ways and Means Committee re-
ported the result of its conference with a
number of citizens who had responded to
letters sent out with reference to the
advisability of nominating ex-Congress-
man McEwan, the standard bearer, as an
independent candidate for Mayor. The
ac SON of the committee was unanimomus-
ly endorsed.
After that conference it was given out
that Mr.. McEwan, after standing out
against the acceptance of an independent
nomination, had finally yielded and con-
sented to run. The following slip taken
from Mr.. McEwan's own chirography and
handed in to be read at last nights meet
ing of the central organization, makes it
appear that Mr.. McEwan had either
changed his mind or that his remarks
were misinterpreted at Monday nights
meeting:-
s'Mr. McEwan is still 10th to accept any
independent nomination. He hopes a
way may be found by which an indepen-
dent nominat ton will be found unneces-
sary. He has not accepted yet"
1t is said that Mr. McEwan's name
will be presented at the regular Republi-
can convention to nominate a Mayor at
Lincoln Hall next Monday night.
A letter was received from Governor
VOORHEES, acknowledging the receipts of
the communication directed to him as the
result OF discussion at the previous
meeting relative to the Aims House scam
dal. The Governor replied that he would
give the matter serious attention, but
added that among several bills now pend
ing to regulate the proper care of the
county's wards, he thought there was
one which would meet the requirements
The bill prescribes that the Freeholders
may indenture child ward to any re-
sponsible citizen. A moderate rate can
be charged for the maintenance of the
child. The Governor thinks this will be
more satisfactory than causing the county
to pay at the rate of $3 or 81 head for
the maintenance of such children.
Chairman Morris of the Committee on
Petitions was absent, but sent word that
he had lot more of petitions urging Mr..
McEwan to run as an Independent.
