several Institutions, but that he was COM
PEELED to remove them by the authorities
because of violent scenes made by his
wife.
s'Your honor, she is mentally irrespon-
sible and drunk" he said.

ter leave the children alone as they were
well off.

Mr.. Hill and they went out together. AS
they passed through the door leading to

band She missed him and struck Mr..

JOKE PROVED SERIOUS.
Dennis Had to Stand Trial for FoO1-
ing With Tires.

Harry Dennis, pracaical joker, down
at Constable Hook, had a narrow escape
from being convicted in the Special Ses-
sions Court yesterday of malicious mis-
chief Joseph Zabinski, a Russian, who
lives at No. 414 Avenue D. Bayonne, and
is employed at the Standard Oil Works,
owns a bicycle. On December II, he
loaned the bicycle to Frank Bright who
rode it down to the oil works.
The idea struck Dennis that it would be
a good joke to let the air out of the BIZ
cycle tire and he proceeded to let it out.
Then he told some of the other workmen
to watch Bright when he started off on
the wheel and they would see some fun.
Sure enough when Bright started the tire
collapsed and Bright was obliged to stop
and pump it up. The joke assumed diff
ferent phase when Zabinski insisted on
Dennis providing a new set of tires aud
afterward had him arrested for malicious
mischief in cutting one of the tires.
1t was proved at the trial that the tire
had not been cut and Denis said that he
let the air out by taking of he cap. David
Horseley, a dealer in bicycles, testified
that he found pin puncture in the tire
and told Zabriskie that it could be repair
ed for twenty-five cents. Zabriskie, how
ever, insisted on having new set OF
tires, the best that could be had because
Dennis was going to pay for them.

An enthusiastic Democratic mass meet
ing was held last night at st. Michaers

selected to represent the organization at
the coming conference. Only one COM
mitteeman is with the Cleary faction. He
is Michael Curry. Thomas Dunnigan was
selected to make up the necessary nine.

THE ELECTION.
Leader Davis Predicts Rat
Ting Democratic
Victory.
TEACHERS BILL WILL WIN
Freeholder Measure Sure to
Pass Mix Up in the
Ballots.

Matters were dull about the City Hall
this morning. No one was there who
could possibly keep away and all the
interest politically centered in the cleo
ton which is in progress throughout the
city. Mr. Robert Davis said tllot in his
opinion the pople would endorse the acts
for the Increase Of teachers salaries and
the reorganization of the Board of Free
holders and that the entire Democratic
ticket would be elected by between 1900
and 400 plurality.
There were bad mixes in the distribution
of ballots in several of the wards. In
the Sixth ward ballots belonging to the
Seventh ward were voted until the dis
covery was made and the proper ballots
were secured. By this the Republicans
are supposed to have lost.
In the Eighth ward Eleventh ward bal
lots were used. The Democrats were the
losers. Homer Green is said to have lost
a number of ballots by this mistake.
The election was quiet throughout the
city
Today's voting throughout the Second
Tenth and Eleventh wards indicated in
the morning that the vote would be an
exceedingly light one. There was abso-
lutely no excitement and stranger would
never have known that a municipal eec-
ton was going on. This is was claimed
was due to apathy on the part of Repub-
licans. 1t was argued, however, that the
campaign the teachers have been waging
in their own behalf will bring out a heavy
vote before the polls close. 1t is believed
that the Democratic workers are getting
out a good vote, and it is believed that
all of the wards will roll up their usual
Democratic majorities. In the Second
ward the Clearyites and regulars" are
working side by side for the success of
the general ticket.
