Aged Narcio Sebastin’s Ineffectual At- tempt to Kegister. SANTA ROSA, CaL., Aug. 2L.—Regis- tration closed here Monday at midnight. More than 900 names were enrolled, which is an increase of 500 over the register of 11894, Old Narcio Sebastin, who claims to be 96 years old, attempted to register late Monday afternoon. He claimed to have been naturalized in this county forty years ago, but a close search of the records failed to prove his assertion and he sadly returned to the county farm shorn of his glory as the oldest voter in the county. | BN N REGSTRITON Officially Declared in a Com- parative Table by the Registrar. iSpecial Care Tzken This Year | Guarding Against Stuffing—Can- vassing Precincts. in Following is an interesting comparative | table furnished by Registrar Hinton, and | showing the exact number of voters regis- tered throughout the City by districts: Registration| Registration | Registration z r fusion, | DISTRICT.| "y 1892, | for 1894. | for 1896. le others declared unequivocally ! such a movement.

In some instances voters had negligently registered in the wrong precinet, while in others the mis- spelling of names caused them to be classed as doubtful. The large number on the doubtful list was occasioned by the following circular issued by Registrar Hinton several days ago: To the Boards of Precinct Registration—GENTLE- g ial attention is called to that 22, Act of March 18, 1878, which directs Boards of Precinct Registation 0 carefully examine and revise the names voters upon their several precinct regis- ters, and to ascertain if such are the names of legal voters, properiy on said precinct regis- ters, and entitled to vote in said precinct.” 1 shail not feel suthorized to sign the de- mands of officers unless satisfied that this duty has been faithfully performed.

Schil- | ler, aformer clerk. with having abstracted | rare and valuable stamps and substituted | counterieits and less valnable specimens | from certain books of stamps entrusted to him, took prompt measures to establish his innocence in the matter. In the pres- once of reliable witnesses he sealed the books in which it was alleged he bhad placed the worthless stamps and mailea to the New York firm whick had con- signed them to his clerk. On Monday he telegraphed to New York as follows: ~‘Wire me if everything 0. K.” To this he received the reply: ‘‘Books received; apvear to be all right.’ | This he believes was sent upon a casual | examination of the stamps, and is confi- | dent that upon a tnorough investigation the serivus charges against him will be shown to be without any foundation what- ever. At the time the charges were made by Schiller he swore out a search warrant, but a thorough overhauling of the prem- ises of Mr. Carion failed to reveal any of the alleged missing stamps.

Louis to-d: RARE SPORT ON WILLOWS' TRACK, Horse - Racing Enthusiasts Say Good Things of the Management. A DAY OF SURPRISES. Two Warm Favorites Fail to Beat Their Fields to the Judges’ Stand. THE TALENT LOSES HEAVILY. Blus 11 Wins a Running Desh From a Collection of Fairly Gocd Ones. WILLOWS, Car., Aug. 12—The second day of the race meeting showed a much larger attendance at the track than on the opening day and the character of the sport witnessed cannot do otherwise than make the fair a great success. Visitors to the track to-day all had their betting clothes on and traffic with the pool-sellers was of the liveliest sort. The way of the talent, though, was by no means strewn with roses, for they went down hard on the opening event—the 2:19 trot. There were ounly five starters, and Nutwood Wilkes, who won off the reel at Petaluma from the same company, was a prohibitive favorite, being barred in the betting. It was hinted previous to the race that one of his legs was under suspicion, and after being beaten out the first heat by Myrtie Thorn in 2:19%, he was allowed to be drawn by the judges, being scarcely able to hobble to his stable. The 2:15 pace was another bombshell that exploded in the camp of the specu- lative fraternity with disastrous results. Colonel Benton, accredited with rattling off all sorts of fast miles in private trials, was an odds-on favorite, but falled to take a heat. Previous to the final heat his driver, Crawfora, was removed from the bike by the judges and Mc Manus substi- stuted, but it worked no material change, for he barely saved his d istance, making a bad break at the second turn. Archer Stephenson’s good mare Blue Bell took the running dash, starting a warm favorite, and the wise ones evened up their losses. Trotting. 2:19, three in five, purse $500.

Attorney Sweeney, for the defendants, who were all in court, again asked the Judge to accept bonds for them, as they were urgently in need of the cash bail de- osited. He agreed to furnish satisfactory ndsmen. The Judee consented. SOLD A HORSE AND BUGGY. Sidney Bernstein Arrested on a Charge of Grand Larceny.

A test case affecting peddiers was tried before Judge Conlan yesterday. P. Morris and Isadore Smith were char ged with ped dling without a license and attorneys Mc- Gregor and Kenny, who defended- them, raised the question that as they were merely laborers emploved by a peddler who held a license it was not necessary for them to have a license also. . The Judge, aiter listening to the argu-- ments, decided that the point was well taken. He held that the license ordinance never contemplsated that assistants em- ployed by a licensed peddler should be compelled to take out a license. He there- fore dismissed the cases. | e e —————— Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. :0-0-0-0-0-0+0-0-0-0-00 Réorganization Sale!
