The citizens of many of the suburban towns around Washington deny the following stéte- mente made in an interview published in» Sun- day paper with a “prominent doctor,” whose name is not given: “There are more typhoid cases in the suburbs than in the city proper. Takoma Park has had a good many cases and two deaths recently. I don’t know just why it should be 60 prevalent there, but the people there, of course, have only surfaco drainage and about the springs the ground is slightly marshy, and some sewago may get into thom.

He de that he struck the ofticer, and eaid he could not have done so if he had tried, becanse several officers had hold of lim. “Two other men arrested,” said Mr, Chelini, “were not searched, and the officers after being #0 careful ubont searching me failed to take from me my penknife. but put me in a cell with the knife in my pocket.” Mr. Chelini’s testimony was corroborated by three other citizens, After the arrost ‘two citizens called at the Police station to have Mr. Chelini released on collateral, but the officers refused to accept collateral, saying he must give bail. While they wero sated in the back room of the station talking to Acting Sergeant Buckmaster scme words passed between ‘one of the citizens and an oificer who was in the front room, and the latter jumped through the window and made a rush at the citizen, but the presence of Acting Sergeant Buckmaster prevented another scene of violence. Maj. Moore was communicated with and he directed Mr. Cholini’s release on collateral. His friends then deposited £100 collateral and he was relensed. Judge Miller heard tho proof and when Act- ing Sergeant Ciscle denied that he strack Che- lini Policeman Garraway was recalled and he denied that he satd in his direct testimony that the officer had struck Mr. Chelini.

Registration Officers in Maryland Interpret the Law in Various Ways. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Rockviix, October 12, 1892. Since the compietion of tho lists of registered Yoters in the several election districts of the county it has been ascertained than an unusual number of names have been stricken from the same, and this fact has been the subject of much comment in political circles, and it is claimed that injustice has been done in a num- ber of cases to voters who have heretofore been identified with both parties, The registration law a5 it now stands is so vague in many of its provisions that it is inter- preted differently in different parts of the state and even in different sections of the county. In fs registration takes a different view of some of its provisions to that held by other officers of the same class. If it was tho object of the framers of the law to provide fora uniform system throughout the state they certainly have made a magnificent failure. The question of what constitutes a legal residence in any ticular locality has not been definitely settled, and persons leaving temporarily for a visit to BUILDING PERMITS, Building permits wero issued today to the fol- lowing: George S.
