The following Is additional to the disturb

prime mover.
FBI ILLEGAL VOTERS, FBArDITLNTLy NATU
BAtlZKD CITIZENS, AND TnB DEPUTY SHERIFFS.
The Illegal voter wpre out In force yesterday,
but as a general thin confined their operations
to the rolls which gave the heaviest Demo
cratic majorities, and where no Republican
window-book keeper would consider himself
are in etcislng the riht of challenge. How
ever, a lew ot these unnaturalized citizens ap
peared at the Ilppublican. precincts, where they
were taken charge of. ....
Of these the following were held to answer at
Conrt:
Thomas Albright, First precinct, 8cventocn'.h
ward.
Jacob Elaise, Seventh, precinct, Sixteenth
ward.
Won. McLane, Fifth precinct, Fifteenth ward.
Thomas McDonald, Second precinct, Twenty
ionrth ward.
Joseph C. Powell, Second product, Twenty
fonrlh ward.
Thomas Jiullen, First precinct, Twcnly-slxth
Ward.
Jacob Harrington, Seventh precinct, Four
teenth ward.
Wm. Smith, Second precinct, Twelfth ward.
llngh Maeee, first precinct, First ward.
After the many fraudulent naturalization
papers which were tendered, w have the
following cases which warranted arrest":
William Humphrey, Sixth precinct, Sixteenth
ward; Frederick Gromach, Filth product, bix
teenth ward.
The deputies sworn In by Sheriff Lylo flgnro
conspicuously in the criminal calendar this
jnornirg.
They were, In the main, compased of
men ignorant, illiterate, unlearned, aud totally
unaware of the duties of the posi
tion to which they had been elevated
and, as a matter of course, were the ones who
were the most capable of creating the most
serious disturbances. First on the list comes
Joseph Flanigsn, who shot the lad Perkins, at
the polls at Front and Otter streets.
The recovery ot the Injured boy being In
doubt, Flanloan will have a hearing at the
Central Station this afternoon, The chances
bow are that this murderous individual will be
tried for his life. An important piece ot evi
dence against him is, that some time since he
made threats that he would shoot a policemm.
Next on the list is the fellow Hamilton, who
was shot by Policeman Swain, in the southern
part ot the city. His attending physiciun pro
nounces his recovery impossible, as he has been
unable to extract the ball, which has lodged in
his neck. If death were to ensue the police
would hereafter be saved considerable trouble.
Samuel Alloway and George Fortner were de
tailed for duty in the Eighteenth ward. Tlieir
conduct became intolerable, and they were
arrested and taken before Alderman Eggleton,
who held them lor trial.
Joseph Lynd, Bernard McDermott. Michael
Foley, and James Caffrey created a disturbance
at Second and Otter srreets, and were taken
into custody and bound over by Alderman
Egaleton.
John Ryan and Philip Musker, for presuming
to exercise supreme authority iu the Filth
precinct of the Sixteenth ward, were overhauled
and held to answer by Magistrate Egeleston.
Alderman Pancoast bound Conrad Smith over
for inciting to llot in the Eighth precinct of the
Fifteenth ward.
In the Twentieth ward twenty arrests of depu
ties were made.
In the Twenty-sixth ward a number ol these
worthies, giving the names of James Campbell,
James Mellon, Matthew Moroney Barney
Pugao, Thomas Cunningham, and Patrick
Moroney, were held by Recorder Glvla for
riotous conduct, and carrying concealed deadly
weapon".
James McVeigh and A. Seunix, for Inciting to
riot in the Second precinct of the Nineteenth
ward, were disposed of in the same manner as
their brethren.
There were any number of arrests of citizens
made for disorderly conduct and interfering
with the policemen while in the discharge of
their duties.
A POLICEMAN MURDERED.
At about half past six o'clock last evenine a
crowd of roughs from the lower section ot the
city paraded up Eighth street, and on arriviug
at Lombard street assaulted a crowd of men
who were standing there.
A regular row ensued, during which bricks
were thrown and pistol shots fired. Policeman
James Young, of the Fifth district, attempted
to quell the disturbance, aud in so doing received
his death wound. A pistol-ball entered his
mouth and lodged In the back of his head.
Word was immediately conveyed to the Central
Station and a detachment of police were ordered
to the spot, but on their arrival found that
the desperadoes had left. They found their
brother officer lying on the pavement, and they
took him to the hospital, where he liu?etel
until morning, when he died. . Thomas Finne
Kan, who had been shot iu the melee, was taken
into custody, and he ia now held to await the
Tesnlt of the Coroner's investigation. He is
lying at the hospital.
A DOUBLE HOMICIDE.
About 10 o'clock last night Edward and Chris
tian BurnB, who resided at ;No. 4 Mead street?
were shot dead at Fourth and Stanley streets.
They, with Charles F. Specht, had just left
Mrs. Simons' saloon, and were walking towards
German street, when, passing a dark alley, tour
shots were fired, and tho brothers fell dead.
Specht received a wound in the head, the ball
ntering above the left ear an,d emcrglug at the
back of the head.
On examination of the bodies, Edward was
found to have been killed by a wound In the
heart, caused by a laree ball, while Christian
had received one shot in the neck and another
in the arm,
Specht was taken lo the hospital, where he
rave information which led (o the arrest of
Charles W. Powell and 8ttmuel Holt, two cf
Sheriff Ljle's depptics; they wore their badges
when arrested. On Powell was found a very
large six-barrel revolver, with two of the
chambers empty, and on Holt a three-barrel
revolver, with two chambers discharged. They
were locked up in the Second District Station
House to await the Coroner's investigation,
Which will take place to-morrow.
The bodies were removed to the Niagara Hose
House. , .
STRUCK DEAD BY A BLOW OF THE PI3T.
Frederick Wentter, aged forty-six years, re
aiding at No. 607 Wall Bireet, below Catharine,
waa killed yesterday afternoon by a boy.
Wentter had been sick, and, beiDg feeble, carried
a cane. When crossing Shippen street, above
Blxth, he raised his cane to prevent a milk
wagon from running over him, whereupon
the driver descended aud struck him
under the left ear, filling him to the pavement
a corpse. He then Jumped into the wagon and
drove off. The corpse was taken into the house
of Charles Pfaff, Mo. 629 bbippen street. The
deceased leaves a wife and three children. The
milk wagon bore the name of Thomas Kelley,
and was driven by his nephew, James Haydoo,
who stated, on his return to the depot, that a
man had hit his horse twice with a stick, and
h alighted and struck him, knocking him
down, and the citizens around told him to drive
off. H served the fellow right. On learning
that he had killed the man Haydon surrendered
himself to Alderman McCloskey, who commit
ted him.
The Coroner will hold an inquest on the
aAiove cases to-morrow.
a 'papcrr" con) to obibp.
Yesterday afternoon, about half-past 4 o'clock,
notorious character named John Tobln, one
of Ljle's "deputies," was arrested at the Conti
nental Hotel by three of the Reserve officers,
aud escorted into the presence of Judge Allison,
Bitting in the Common Pleas Court, by a large
avvwd of citizens. The causes which led to th
arrest of this beautiful specimen of a "conserva
tor" of the public peace may be stated
as follows! Wearing his badge of office, he
stationed himself at the polls on Hansom, street,
west of Eighth, and was there during the alter
noon. In the neighborhood of 4 o'clock a
gentleman by the name of J. llenshaw, who was
in the line of voters waiting his turn, with the
purpose of vouching for another gentlemen In
the same line, was seized by this same Tobia and
violently dragged from his place. After
being pulled out, he was set upon by
some eight of the associates of the "deputy,"
knocked down, kicked, and beaten. Eicaping
finally from the clutches of his assailants, he
procured a warrant for the arrest of the
"roughs," and proceeded with Sergeant Crout
and a couple ot the Reserve officers to hunt
them up. They could fiud none ot them except
Tobin, who whs firbt spied at Delmouico's
saloon, on Ninth street, above Chesnut, aud
thence followed to the Continental hotel.
As the Sergeant approached him, Tobln dis
played a large two-feet long pistol, and uttering
an oath, threatened lo lire it if the officer came
near. The Sergeant, not to be Intimidated,
still advanced, ' his comrades running around
and getting in the rear of the belligerent deputy.
Tobiu seeing bis predicament, did Ore, a ha
said he would, and sent a ball, just clearing the
head of one of the policemen. The weapon was
then knocked from his hand and he was taken
lii to custody.
Alter a bearing before the judge he was held
In $1100 bail on the chavee of unlawfully inter
fering with a citizen at the polls, and also In
$500(1 bail on the ehargc of carrylug concaalcd
deadly weapons.
Mr. Whltnev. the well-known brewer, went
his bail.
The case did not end here, for the "deputy"
and Ins sympathizers appeared before Alderm:in
White, of the Fifth war I, and sued out a war
rant for tbe arrest ot Hergeant Crout, Reserve
Officers Keuilig, Newman, and Hess, charging
them with a breach of the peace, assault and
battery, aud inciting to riot.
The "deputy" testified that a citizen had
called on the Sergeant, and mado complaint of
a diTnrhance at the polls in Sansom street,
above Mghth, and the officer, with assistance,
had taken the party away without a warrant;
further, tbat their pitseiice did not tend to
preserve the peace of the city, and that tho
Hergeant drew a revolver on Tobin. This latter
statement was not true, for the Sergeant had no
revolver when he advauced to Tobiu, nor was
one drawn by htm.
After the evidence the Alderman held the
officers in $800 bail to answer. Ball was
promptly offered and accepted.
While the hearing was going on, High Con
stable Clark, with a posse of men, remained at
the door of the Alderman's office, witn a writ of
habeas corpus to produce the parties in Court
before Judge Ludlow, but bail having bee a
accepted, no action was taken on the writ.
This fellow Tobin has already once or twice
been charged with various offenses can be
daily seen loafing at Nhit.h and Chesnut streets,
and is a fair sample of the excellent "deputies"
appointed by Lyie.
ANOTHER POLICEMAN EXPECTED TO DIE.
Since the decision of the partisan Justloe
Share wood, on Saturday last, mauy of the
roughs have an Idea that the law will protect
them in any asault they may make ou police
men. KOn Monday mgbt last there was a fracas
at 8eventh and Shippen streets, which was
temporarily interrupted by the appearance of
Officers Young and Johnson, ot the First district
force. However, the crowd rallied and beat
back these conservators of the public peace,
abd in so doing inflicted injuries of such a
nature upon Mr. Young that his'lifo is despaired
of. No arrests were made.
A FOREIGNER ASSAULTED.
On Monday night, a Portuguese gentleman wa
assaulted ov a gang oi leiiowe, on uuesnut
street above Thirty-seventh, and beaten over
the head with a club. Thomas McAnally,
alleged to have been one of the perpetrators of
this daring outrage, has been arrested and com
mitted to prison by Alderman Lungren.
Kouans on the rampage.
The Democratic rereaters, colonists, and
plugs, jubilant over their fruitless victory in this
city yesterday at the polls, did not desert the
vicinity of Chesnut street until almost daybreak
mis morning. ".Benzine" ana "Dug juice," pro
cured at different Democratic ariuklng dens.
warmed a fictitious courage in the hearts of
these "unterriaed." and, as might have been ex
pected, they were eauer and ready for a fray.
About half-past one o'clock A. M. a party of
them, alleged to have been beaded by the noto
rious Sam. Carson, made a murderous assault
on three police officers at Seventh and Chesnut
streets. A number of citizens were quietly
standing on the corner, and near by them the
officers, when the roughs carat up. Impudently
swaggering and bragging, the latter began an
altercation with the former, which soon grew
heated and promised a row. The officers then
interfered, when one of the roughs produced a
revolver and shot Policeman Stiles through the
breast, inflicting a wound which will in all like
lihood result in his death.
Word of the shooting was communicated to
the Central Police Station, where a large posse
of police were in reserve. They proceeded no
Chesnut street and came across the rioters
about Eighth street. Here the party ran, and
in their flight fired several shots at the officers
following. OfficcrWilliam Hodges, ot the Eighth
district, was shot through the ankle. A ball
grazed the breast of Officer Buy let ts, and Officer
McKibben received a wound in the left cheek.
As soon as the tiring commenced the roughs
separated, some running down Ninth street, and
others into cellars along Chesnut street. The
fiolice drew their revolvers In the chase, mtend
ng to fire, but owing to the manner in which
the fugitives ran, it was unsafe for them to dis
charge tlieir weapons.
Robert Walker, one of the rioters, and a resi
dent of Allegheny city, was noticed fiinne two
shots, one of which, it is said, struck Officer
Hodges. He was followed into a restaurant and
captured, and when searched at the police sta

THE "REPEATERS" HOMEWARD BOUND.
This morning the trains running from our
city to New York and Baltimore were crowded
with unwashed gangs of the colonizers who had
come here for the purpose of cabtin; Demo
cratic bullo's in our election, and who. after
finishing their dirty work, were ou their way
home. Happily for us, we are rid of the vil
lains: unhappily for the places where they live,
they have gone to again molest them with their
baleful presence,
A GERMAN STABBED.
Yesterday Matthew Roscr, an employe In
Beckler's lager beer brewery, at Eleventh and
Oxford streets, got Into au altercation yesterday
with the watchman of the place, during which
the latter received two severe wounds with a
knife one between the second aud third rib
and the other In the back of the neck. The
Infuriated Teuton was subsequently arrested,
and on being given a hearing before Alderman
Hood, was sent below for a further hearing.

The "Ting" Cane In I lie Protestant Epls.
conl Triennial Convention.
In the Convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, at New York, yesterday, the case ot Or.
Tjng, Jr., was brought up.
I The Committee oui Canons, through the Rev.
Dr. 3eijamln L. Haight, made a report on the
memorial presented ou Friday last fay the Bav.
Or. Goodwin, of Pennsylvania, asking for a
change, r rather a liberal reform, in the canon
of the Church restricting tbe officiating of
ministers In other parishes, except under cer
tain burdensome conditions. The canon sought
to be charged by this memorial aud the com
mittee's report is the one under which the
Rev. Stephen II. Tyng, Jr., was tried on the
complaint of the Rev. Dr. Stubbs, of New
Jersey, convicted and "censured aud admon
ished," which trial received such universal at- i
tentlon throughout the Church at the time. The
report of the committee was to the effect that
artertne word "neccssarv." in the twentieth line
of tho second clauseof section six, canon twelve,
title 1. of the Digest, there be added these
words:
lint nothing shall he construed to prevent any cler
gyman of the Church from ofllclaunc la any psrlili,
church, or in any place of public worship imi by
ay congregation oi me cnurcn wnn ine content or
the clergyman in charge of such congregation, or, In
bia absence, of the church warden and vestrf or
trustees of such congregation or a majority of them.
With tbla addition the canon, secllou;one and two.
Will read aa follows:
Hection 1. No minister belonging to this Chnrcn shall
officiate, either by preaching, reading prayers, or
otherwise, In the parlsn or wltinn the parochial cure
of another clergyman, aniens he bare received e
press permltiHloa lor that pnrpose irom tbe minister
ftlie par lull or cure, or In bis absence, from the
chniohwardens aDd vestrymen, ot trustees Of lbs
congregation or a majority ul them.
btcllon 2. Where parlnh boundaries are not define!
by law or settled by diocesan authnrl y under the
second lection of Cauon V, "f title II I ot this Digest,
or are not otherwise settled, they anail, for tbe pur
poses of thla lectlod, be defined by the civil divi
sion of tbe tsta e as follows: Perorblal bound
erina shall be the limit, as now Hied by law, of
any village, town, township, Incorporated borough,
city, or the limits of some dtvlnlon thereot which
niny bave been recogulr.eU by the Bishop, acting
with the advice and consent of the islanding
Corumll tee, as conntltutlLg the bonndar eaof a parlnU.
II there be but one church orcongrega lon within the
limns ot such village, town town-hip, borough, city,
or such division ol a city or t iwu aa herein provided,
the same shall be deemed the parochial cure ol the
minister having charge thereof. If there be two sr
more conrfgailon or churches therein, It shall be
deemed the cure of the nolntste-a tbereo', and the as
sent of a majority olsucli ml ulsters Bhall beneoessnry.
Hut nothing in thli canon shall be construed to pre
vent any clergyman ol thisChnrch Irom ottlala'log In
any parish or Iu any place or public worship usei by
any congregation of the Church, with the consent of
the c'ertsynian In charge of such congregation, or. In
bis absence, of the chniohwardens and vestry or
trustees f such congregation, or of a majority ot
them. 'When, under (lineman anihorliy, a new
parish Is constituted and Its boundaries dflaed,
tniK section shall be applicable to the same a so
established.
The canon bs proposed to be amended, to
gether with the report of the committee, wa,
on mtion of Rev. Dr. Haight, ordered lo be
printed a..d made the special order on Friday,
at noon. This vote was subsequently recou
sidered, as will be seen from the report of the
afternoon proceedings.
On tbe same day with the before mentioned
memorial. Rev. Dr Goodwin presented another
one from Pennsylvania, praying for a change ia
canon XI, title I, of the Digest. This canon,
for the modification or conclusive interpreta
tion of which the memorial prays, is the fol
lowing: Pernio n 1. No person shall be permitted lo officiate
In any congregation of this Church wllaout Srst pro
ducing tbe evidence ot bis beit g a minister thereof to
the m mister , or, In case ot vacaucy or absence, to the
church wardens, vestrymen or trustees of the congre
gation. ftctlon2. No minister shall ofllclate transiently In
a vacant parish, or la one tbe rector or mln sterol
which Is sick or absent, unless the wardens or voetry
are satlstied tbat be Is at the time a minister In good
and regular standing. When from another dliueie,
letters commendatory from tbe ecclesiastical autho
rity thereot may be required.
Rev. Dr. Mahan made a report from the Com
mittee on Canons, the substance of which was
that it is inexpedient to change this canon pro
hibiting persons not ordained ministers ot the
Protestant Episcopal Church from officiating as
such in any congregation of the Church, and
pronounces It highly expedient and necessary to
retain this restriction; but to prevent all am
biguous construction or its application to lay
readers, a mere change in the phraseology of the
title is recommended. Rev. Dr. Crane con
sidered this subject to be intimately connected
with the other, and moved it be recommitted
to the committee and to be made the special
order fortFriday next. Dr. Goodwin, ot Penu
svlvauia, called attention to the tact that the
question may arise whether the canon would
not include ministers ot the Church of Knglaud,
and hence tbe subject should be carefully looked
Into before a decision is reached. Mr. Welsh,
ot Pennsvlvania, did not object to tbe canon.
but to the interpretation given to it by the
committee, u oeing a partial interpretation, ana
as such a daneerous thine. A desultory debate
ensued, and tbe report was at last made the
special order of tbe day mentioned immediately

A HOAX.
A lienor ted Conspiracy to Assassinate
l-reaiueni juanson.
The Kew York UeratcPs special from Washing
ton yesterday contains the following:
Considerable excitement exists here to-dav
among those who have obtained possession of
the news over tbe supposed development of
a piot said to oe ior some time in preparation
in this city to procure the assassination of
rresiaent Jonnson. xesterday evening a irieud
of the President's went to the currency priut-
lne division oi me Treasury Department and
aoked for a man named Frank D. Evans, a night
nremau to tne engines oi the printimr division.
stating that he was wanted at the White House.
Mr. JncCartee, the superintendent of the print
ing division, being absent, Mr. Larmar, the
chief engineer, gave permission for fc-vaus to
leave his work. Mr. Evans was taken to the
bour-e of Colonel William C. Moare, the Presi
dent's private secretary, where he was ex
amined as to what he knew of tbe assassina
tion plot. His story looks remarkaoly
like a false alarm, and can be briefly
repeated : Last spring Evans and his wile
were boarding at tbe house of bis brother-in-law,
named Hiniebur, in Tweaty-tirbt
street, Pirst ward, ot this city. Himebur was
formerly a Rebel rtticer, but is now au intense
radical, and holds an office under our city
authorities. Oue night, during the impeach
ment excitement, Himebur, in the presence of
Mr. and Mrs. Evans and his own wife, stool up
in his own parlor and displayed with great
flourishing an American flag. This flag, he said,
had been given him by General Butler as one of
a company ot conspirators organized for the
assassination of President Johnson. Evans said
ii a In I a 1 a tri Arl a t Iha rit ctl Cka n a a ti -i Hirt vtf
know bow to act whether to tell the President
or not. Finally he resolved to leave Himebnr's
house, and went to housekeeping for himself.
But the fear of fatal results from the conspiracy
still haunted htm, and ho told several Iriends
the story of Butler and his flag. Evans says
that his wife as well as himself was prepared to
swear to its truth. Himebur, it appears, was
captain ot a negro company, composed of fifty
men, whom he drilled every night, and
these negroes were supposed to be la
the plot. Colonel Moore told the President
something about the conspiracy last Sunday,
while out driving with his Excellency, but
the latter paid no attention whatever to tbe
matter. Mr. Johnson treats the matter with
indifference. He has not seen either Himebur,
Evans, or his wile at all, and therefore the
story, which has been most industriously cir
culated, that he sent lor Evans to puino him, or
ordered him to bo sent to Hancock's head
quarters, is entirely erroneous. The whole story
Is evidently a piece of extravagance ou the part
of Himebur, magnified and perhaos embellished
by the fears and imagination ot Evans. By some
friends of the President it is regarded in a
more serious light. They brieve that a conspi
racy really did exist about the time ot the
impeachment, but that it failed to ripen in time,
and tbat now all danger is past, and that
nothing is to be gained by serious investigation.
Others say that Evans and Himebur have been
upfriendly, and that the story was inveuted by
Evans to injure the other. Yoar correspondent
had a talk with tbe President thla afternoon on
tbe subiect, aud found him uot iu the least
disturbed. , t

FROM WASHINGTON.
Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Effect of the Elections,
Washington, Oct. 14. Republicans are in ex
cellent spirits this morning, and their number
seems to have Increased very greatly since yes
terday. Ofiice-holders and clerks by the hun
dred bave suddenly discovered that they have
been for Grant irom the start. Democrats are so
despondent that their gains of Congressmen and
a report that they have carried Indiana; appear
to afford them scarcely any comfort. Three
fourths of them acknowledge that the election
of Grant Is placed beyond doubt Business is
virtually suspended, or lags heavily, and the
reaction from the excitement of last night makes
the city quiet and dull, and as a consequence
tbere is a total lack of news.
From Canada.
Ottawa, Oct. 14. Henry Murphy, a Fenian
prisoner, made a desperate attempt to escape
last night, nearly killing the turnkey in the
attempt, which did not succeed.
