committee was replete with sensational
testimony, and was confined to the Cabases

Evidence was submitted against House
Sergeant Saddington, of j the Chestnut
Hill sub-station and formerly of the Six
teenth police district, to the effect that he
had feloniously assaulted a 7-year-old
daughter of j Robert J. Roop, of German-
. town and now of Wllmingtonr J)el. It was
said that complaint was made at head
quarters, but nothing being done, Sad
dington was arrested. This jwas about four
years ago. The grand jury found a true
bill against the accused, but the case has
never yet been broughtjto trial. -The wit
nesses were Mr. Roop, the child and Dr.

Thirty minutes were allowed : each to pre

The balloting began at" 6 o'clock last
evening, and from the first a long and
bitter struggle was indicated. ' The first
ballot resulted: Chicago, 6; Cincinnati,

was practically no change, except a slight
fluctuation of ; a vote or two, until the
tenth ballot, when Chicago began gradu

New York. At the twentieth.ballot New

New York, Jan. 18. -The fact that Gen

pointed when they heard that the general
talked of matrimonial affairs instead of
politics. At the appointed time Mr. Tib

Green, colored, of New York city, was ar

against Green is that of stealing a diamond
breastpin and four idiamond rings 'from
Mrs. Manson, of New York. Green denies
that he committed the theft, but claims
that the jewelry was stolen by another
party, who divided the stolen jewelry with
him. The prisoner further says that he re
turned the jewelry which was given him
to Miss Jeannette Manson, Mrs. Manson's
daughter, to whom jit belonged. There
appears to be a slight suspicion that Green
is also implicated in the Burden diamond
