Burglars entered the home of Mrs.
Annie e. Hartshorne, at 139 High
street, last night, taking silverware,
money and jewelry.
The burglars entered by way of a
side kitchen window, which evidently
had been left unlocked. BY various
clues it is plainly seen that there
were two of them.
The first things they struck were
the eatables in the pantry andice box.
They first ate supper. Mrs. Harts-
horne cannot estimate her loss as
yet, although it is known that five
pocketbooks were rifled of their con-
tents. Some silverware and jewelry
were stolen.
Burnt matches were strewn hither
and thither, furs and wraps were
strewn around the different rooms. :
Detective j. A. Huff viewed the
premises and the various rooms to-
day The burglars did not go up
stairs, but confined their depreda-
tions to the ground floor.
The robbery was first discovered
this morning about 6 O'Clock when
Mrs. Hartshorne and her daughter

This was evidently known by the in

Several sterling silver trinkets and

". S. FELTON, Accused Of Offering
a Brlbe by One of the Demo-

SEVERAL BLOWS WERE STRUCK

Cigar Store and Says He Saw
Him Offer Money to Negro-Fel.
ton WasWaned and Money Did
Not Change Hands--Detective Was
Arrested on Il Trivial Matter.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov e.
A warrant was issued this morning
for Building Inspector w. S. FELTON,
prominent republican politician, oil
charge of bribery and also for as
sault and battery.
John Marshall, one of the special
detectives hired by the Young Men s
Democratic Club, followed FELTON,
into a cigar store. FELTON, was with
a negro.
FELTON, drew some money from his
pocket, the detective alleges, and was
just about to pay the negro for his
vote when Recorder Watson, another
republican politician, rushed in, and
grabbing FELTON,, told him to desist as
the man nearby was detective.
FELTON, put the money back into his
pocket then, so the detective asserts
and started out of the store
Detective Marshall followed him
and FELTON, became enraged and, ii
is declared, hit the officer.
Thinking to get the detective be-
hind bars, Recorder Watson issued q
warrant for the arrest of Marshall on
charge made by FELTON, of going
from house to house without giving
an account of himself" The re-
corder then left and attempts to To-
cate him to release the detective on
bail were futile.
Lawyer Adrain went before Justice
Swayze who was sitting at the coun-
lty court house, and Justice Swayze
said that he would take hand if the
recorder refused to do his duty. Re-
corder Watson had gotten wind OF
this, however, and then showed up
and $50 bail was furnished for Mar
shall by August Streitwolf, president
of the Young Mems Democratic Club.
Marshall then made two complaints
against FELTON,, bribery and assault
and battery. The recorder was averse
to issuing a warrant but did so when
Lawyer Adrain insisted on his rights.
For the first time in their lives the
republicans seem to be thoroughly
alarmed 1t has been thought all
along that the democratic talk about
stopping bribery was only a bluff, .
but they find they are up against the
real thing. A detective is on the
heels of every ward worker all the
time and it is feared there will be
trouble before the polls close. The
republicans have lots of money, but
they are having much trouble in dis
posing of it.

have been made as usual to keep him

tion returns Thursday he leaves for
a trip TO Panama.
The presidents cabinet is still in the
field Most of the cabinet officers have
done strenuous campaign work.
Although reports from the various
states indicate that as result of the
election an ample working majority
of Republicans will be returned to CON
gress, there are varying indications as
to the contests for state offices. 1t is
believed that in Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Ohio and Massachusetts, for
example, there will be Democratic
gains. In Iowa, Indiana, Nebraska
and California, where there is an Inde-
pendence league ticket in the field, the
Republicans, on the other hand, expect
to win by increased majorities. Much
doubt exists in several of the other
states, notably New Jersey. New York
and Massachusetts.
Elections will be held in forty-two
states and three territories. Twenty
three of these are to elect governors
and full state tickets. The terms of
thirty United States senators expire in
March, and the legislatures chosen to-
day will fill most of the vacancies.
The Democrats have tickets i'll every
state and territory and the Republicans
in all except Florida and South Caro-
lima.
In only one state is there actual fu-
sion. That is Nebraska, where the Pop
ulists and Democrats agreed upon a
common ticket. But minor parties
have in several states allied them
selves with either Republicans or DEM
ocrats, as in Pennsylvania, where Lew
is Emery heads five columns on the
ballot. and in Massachusetts. where
j. b. Moran has three Endorsements.
The Prohibitionists have twenty three
tickets in the field, the Socialist Labor
party eight and the Independence
league three.
Ii the Democrats are TO wrest CON
troll of the next house of representa-
tives from the Republicans they will
have to win at least fifty-eight new
congress districts and lose none they
now hold. The present house consists
of 2o0 Republicans and 1876 Democrats.

share Mr.. Griggs' opinion, and 1t is
generally believed that the next house
will be of the same political complex
ion as the present one.
The situation in New Jersey, it is
said, is likely to develop surprises,
and many of the politicians admit that
they are unable to make confident pre-
dictions. The chief interest centers
in the election of representatives to
the state legislature, who willlav the
choosing of United States senator.

1 Up to IL O'Clock there had been no
challenging in any of the wards al
though a few arguments resulted be-
tween some of the candidates.
Trouble with Machine.
They are having trouble with the
voting machine in the Second poll of
the Third ward. The machine regis
tered sixty votes at noon and accord
ing to the election officials only 54
had been cast.
This poll is the one which was car
ried by the Fordyce delegates at the
recent primaries.
A large force of detectives from
Newark arrived early this morning
and were stationed at the different
polls. The detectives were given Or
ders by their chief, not to go inside
the one hundred-foot mark unless
asked to do so.
And if you see any money being
used" said the chief detective, Just
report it to me-"
One hundred feet from each side
of the polls. a. white line has been
painted on the sidewalk.
AS soon as the polls were opened
this morning, a number were found
waiting to cast their ballots. Fifty
votes were cast in the Second ward
before s o'clock, and Al in the first
poll of the Third ward. In all the
other wards the vote was correspond
ingly large,
The saloons are all closed, and up
to noon the election was carried on in
an orderly way.
His Name on List Wrong.
On account of the election canvass
ers having placed his name on the
registry list wrong, Ingfred Nelson,
Eof 13 Hobart street, was refused a
vote at the first poll of the Third
ward. When Nelson went into the
polling place he said his name was
Ingfred. Upon looking at the lists
lit was found that he was registered
as Howard Nelson. This would have
been Nelson's first vote.
Watching Their "Ofice Rooms"
The republicans in the Second ward
made their headquarters in the back
room of the Island House at Smith
and Rector streets. Many of the
democratic ward men complained
about the place, and limited that fun

being used for a headquarters, and
denied that any illegitimate business
was being transacted. The place was
closed late this afternoon.

the report spread that a republican

500 Smith street, Constable Moran,
