ELECTION BOARD
IN EAST NEWARK
FACING ARREST
Threw Out Tierney's Votes for
Constable and Now Members
Are in Trouble.

When the election board of East
Newark Last week refused to count
votes that had been cast for John
Tierney for constable, the members
probably did not realize that they were
breaking one of the sections of the
election law The sheets were last
night sent back to the East Newark
board by the Hudson County Board OF
Election, and the members. William
Miller George Mather. jr, Thomas
Moran and James Wright, were notified
thar they must include the vote for
Tierney or they would be placed under
arrest
Wright endeavored to have the Tier
sney vote counted on election night,
but the Others decided that they could
not be counted because they had been
cast In paster FORM Philip McGlen-
non, a former councilman, told the
board il was doing wrong, but his
warnings Were ignored.
. Charles Stoebel, clerk of the Hudson
County Board of Elections, said this
afternoon that the East Newark board
has until tomorrow to present the
figures, and if they do not turn them
in by then officers win probably be
sent to East Newark and the entire
board will be arrested and taken to
the Court House in Jersey City. Up
to 3 o'clock this afternoon the sheets
had not been returned.
The ballot boxes are in the Office of
Borough Clerk Thomas Carey, and the
keys are in the custody of County Clerk
John Rotterdam, and can only be given
out on an order from the Supreme
Court. IL the officers are not sure
of the vote cast for Tierney they will
not be able to get the returns in by
tomorrow. and will. therefore. have
violated section 191 of the election law.
which reads as follows:
If any member of any district board
of registry and election shall at any

BARNUNI WAS RIGHT.

The Ameicau public likes to be
fooled said p. r. Barnum, years ago.
The truth of that remark was
brought forcemlly home 10 Richmon-
ders several days ago when the Bar
mum and Bailey circus tried to evade
the payments of the > percent taxes
levied by the state. The press states
that the receipt, for two performan-
cos i'm Richmond was i'm excess of
$4,000. The show people wanted
10 pay taxes on about one half Of
that amount or on the receipts Of
only one performance. The whole
circus was attached and had TO fur
nish bond to protect the city.
The incident furnishes food for
thought
Why will people turn out and lit
orally line the pocket Of these peo-
Pile with gold and silver when they
try to evade even the payments of
their honest taxes after they drain

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. June 1.-The wheat market
} was strong early in tia session today,
tinued ideal weather ,diiions in this
country for the new elpp. Commission
houses In general seemed to have numer-
July delivery. and offerings were com
paratively meager. The Oklahoma crop
report- showing a deterioration of 12G

of that State during May, was a bullish
/ factor.
Prices at the start were unchanged to
"a higher. with July at HTS to 1171a. Be-
fore the end of the first half-hour that
option had advanced to 1885. Other de-
liyeries showed less radical advances.
TIL strength of wheat caused moderate
advances in the corn market, the uptvrn
being accelerated by a lack of offerings.
July opened unchanged to a shade lower.
ut 6s3sQ0 TO 20 and sold up TO 70h.
Oats rallied from ain opening weakness
on commission house demand based large
~ on the strength of other grain. July,
| which opened unchanged to Is lower, at
53ss to 5Sle, advanced to 54ls4A.
Provisions were. strong, owing to a brisk
demand by commission houses. which met
with only small offerings.
Prices at the start were up 21e to 121a.
Demand continued urgent the greater part
OF the day and July advanced to 1872.
All of the advance, however, was not main
