THE POLICE. (Before Mr. Alderman Battler. 3 Hearing of the Thieves road Ballot-box . Stutters—A Couple of Ward Politicians lutpi.lenttd—luteresttog Dili:clout:L*6o-111e got Voting, &c. The nolfoe succeeded in arresting a considerable number of sneak thieves on election day, many of whom had come from New 'York for the purpose of voting often," and robbing people generally when ever a chance should turn up. Eighteen of the thieves were arrested ; but aimed at many more, finding they bad 'been "spotted," evaded the vig,i• lance of the officers and red to obscurity. On . Tuesday night the party made a desperate'attempt to break from the - lock-up at the Central Station, which fact was itemized in the Press yesterday. During yesterday morning they amused themselves in the cells by singing all sorts of songs, and occa sionally giving a cheer for Woodward. Blasphe mous and obscene language was freely used, and songs were' sung. Thus, the subterranean part of the Central Station presented a scene that would be more fitting the region of. Pandemonium. At the public hearing yesterday there was some dence that implicated a couple of well-known, characters with the "crowd," as will be seen in its_ proper place in the proceedings. Will. B. Mann, the District Attorney, appeared for the Commonwealth. Mayor Henry was present. The portion allotted to the public was pretty well crammed with people, many of whom were thieves, policy dealers; gamblers, and professional baffigoers. At two o'clock the pollee officers - brought in the first batch of prisoners, who_gave the following names, they being professional,' of course: James S. Smith John Herrick, Thomas Hughes, John Carpenter,'John Rapp, Chas. Makin, James Melon, Elijah Kelly, John Burk, John Dolan, Thos. Thompson, John Gibson, Henry Palmer, James Lit tle, Daniel Malby, Chas. Thackara, Joseph Koper, and Joseph Ahern. The prisoners being arraigned, Mr. Osborne, the 'turnkey of the lookup, was called to the stand. He knew nothing of the arrests, nor anything_about the emetic that took place in the cell on the night before. - Officer Crout was called. On being sworn, he testified that the prisoners were confined in one of the large cells in the Central Station; the cell was in good order when they were put into :it; the •prisoners broke out all the glass and some of the woodwork, and made clubs of the latter ; some one of the prisoners fired two or three shots from the cell ; there was not a glass that, was not broken ; the cell was dark, and the party were uproarious, calling us —, daring us to come in ; the Chief came down, and ordered In to go in and quell the dis turbance; we opened the door, and in a moment one of the officers received a severe cut over the eye from a dirk in the hands of one of the parties ; they used the clubs they had made out of, pieces of ;wood work ; we finally took them out ono by one, and locked them in other cells; we found a revolving pistol in the bole of the heater ; we found a dirk scabbard on the cell floor ; we found one leaden ball that fitted the pistol (the weaponwas produced) these, prisoners are the ones who occupied the cell that was torn out. Daniel Malby, one of the prisoners, with his head bandaged. was told to standup. "Where do you live?" asked the District Attor ne y. "In Trout street," (Pine alley.) ' "Do you board therel" " No, sir ; I keep house." ' 6 Take your seat, sir." A. fraudulent tax receipt was found on him when he was arrested. It was produced and closely exa mined by the District Attorney. Lieut. F. Cl. Hampton sworn.—l arrested one of the men ; he had upon him two revolvers, one fully loaded; the other had two chambers discharged ; the man I arrested gives his name as Thomas Skuse ; I arrested him at Sixth and Vine streets ; he was with five or six, others they had been at Fourth and Chestnut streets ;: I piped them to Sixth and Vine streets; Skim said he had just come from New York. and was on his way back.

Mr. Bartholomew, detective, testified that from information received went to the Western Hotel on election morning ; I copied the names, from the registry book, of the party who took lodgings there the night before [here he read the names] ; about one half of them registered themselves as coming from Princeton, N.
