REGISTRATION.
On the Alert If You Want
TO Vote.


Next Monday evening at 6 o'clock,
sharp, the registration books will close.
There is always a "last man." and he
generally gets left, and we presume that
somebody, through negligence or careless
ness, will get left in this matter. This
notice is a warming, then, that as few as
possible may sleep on the opportunity to
exercise the franchise. And further, there
ia a whole world of trouble among some
folks because they will not inform them
selves as to the requirements of the regis
tration law. For instance, Justice Har-
mon got word yesterday, through a second
party, from a voter who is temporarily in
Tuscarora. The voter requests a friend to
go and get his name put on the registry
book. Now, this can't be done. If you
want to be registered, you must either
write yourself to the Registry Agent
with your name signed to the address to
him, or else you must appear in person.
This Eurekan in Tuscarora is likely to
lose his vote because of not informing
himself in the law and because OF his put
ting off registering himself until very late.
Voters who want to have the right OF
ballot should step up to the office at once.
In this precinct yesterday 800 voters had
registered. If everybody would get his
name set down we would have in the pre-
cinct, at least, 900 voters on the list.

Scraps from a Conversation had with
Him at Winchester.
WINCHESTER, KY, Aug. 3.-Senator
Beck was here to-day, and in conversa-
ton said: Il am almost assured of sue
cess by the fact that this time we have
the press on our side. Heretofore, the
powerful press of the North has been
against us, and they have been unscrupu-
lOus in pointing out every Objectionable
element in the Democratic party. Every
crime committed in any part of the coun-
try, and the evil doings of every 'slugger,'
rObber and sand-bagger committed during
previous campaigns have been saddled
upon the Democratic party by the press
Of the country. Now the tables are
turned, and on the guilty head Of the Re-
publican party must fall the blame of such
things"
Mr.. Beck said that in the beginning of
this campaign and up to the nomination
at Chicago he and many others had been
for Bayard, but it was a personal prefer
ence, and after the nomination he and all
the rest were as strong in the support of
Cleveland as they could have Teen for
/ Bayard. Cleveland was a good, safe,
solid, sensible man, who had well i'm
proved his opportunities for showing the
country that he was a great man, and
with him there was scarcely a doubt that
he would be the next President

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Ex-Speaker Kei-

the subject of comment to-day. 1t is re-
garded as closing forever his public life
and the more destructive to him as his de-
feat at the Clark county (O.) primaries
was the conclusion OF a canvass made by
him on the sole issue of a ''vind1cation. ;,
He has no friends here, and no sorrow is
expressed at his downfall. The eX-Speak-
er went home in May to begin his cam
paign for denomination in the three coun-
ties Of his district outside of his own
Other candidates had appeared, and it
was conceded that they could defeat him.
The direct issue of Gen. keiier's ''Yindica-
tiOn" was left to his own county Of Clark
No candidate appeared for some time
against him, but finally Capt. 4. 5. Bush
nell, heifer's tOwnsman, took the field,
and the contest was made simply upon the
question of keifer's acts since the closing
night Of the Forty-seVenth Congress. BY
agreement, a direct vote was to be taken
in the county in the primaries. and on the
result either keifer or Bushnell was to be
allowed to select the delegates to the Con-
greSsiOnal convention. Keifer made re-
peated speeches, pleading for an indOrse-
ment. The entire press of the district
repudiated him, and he started a campaign
daily of his own. The result was, that in
his own city, Springfield, Bushnell had
S6O majority. and in the county 600.

Startling Disclosures in Connection

Startling Disclosures in Connection
with WitherspOOn's Suicide.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6-Some startling
disclosures were made to-day in Wall
street regarding the affairs of the late +.
Ogden Witherspoon, broker of No. 45
William street, who committed suicide on
June % last.
1t is said that on March % last he pur-
chased from the Queen Insurance Com
pany a bill of exchange for $4,000. On
the following day he returned and said
that the customer for whom he purchased
the bill desired to convert it into two bills
for $4,000 and $4,000 respectively.
This the company agreed to do,
and the $4,000 bill was delivered
up by Mr.. Witherspoon, with the sigma
ture torn off, showing that it had been
duly cancelled. 1t has lately been dis
covered that the bill returned was forged,
and that the original bill had been hy-
pOthecated for $4,000 with a banking
house in Wall street, which will be the
loser in the transaction. 1t is also said
that the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank
ing Corporation, few days before With
erspOon's death, gave him bill of eX-
change for $1,000 to sell for them, and that
he never accounted for the proceeds.
Witherspoon was well known in financial
circles

SPANS FIRE UPON OUR FLAG.
No Importance Attached to the Incident
at Cardenas

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The American
Consul at Cardenas, Cuba, has furnished
the Department of State with the facts in
regard to the firing upon the American
schooners A. V. Drisco and Fred. G. Col
Inns, of Philadelphia, in May last, while
entering that port by Spanish gunboat.
The vessels arrived May 10, and previous
10 their Captains reporting at the Consul
late, the Captain of the Port informed the
Consul that shots had been fired
towards them because they re-
fused to show their flags when sig
nailed by the gunboat, as is required
by the regulations of the port. When the
Captains of the two vessels reported at
the Consulate they made no complaint,
and were shown the letter of the Captain
OF the Port. They were surprised, and
SAID that they did not know that they had
been fired at, that they had seen the gun
BOAT, and had heard a shot at distance
but that as their flags were flying, they
did not think it was directed towards
them. That the flags were flying is
Youched for by the crews of the
two vessels and the pilot. The gunboat
was to windward, and it is probable that
owing to the direction Of the wind and the
position of the vessels sails the flags were
not seen by the Spanish vessel. The Con-
sui was unable to discover any signifi-
cance in the incident, especially as the
Captains were unconscious of having been
hred at, and the fact would never have
been known but for the letter from the
Captain Of the Port. The matter has been
communicated to Minister Foster by the
State Department, with instructions to sug-
gest to the Spanish Government that the
Commander at Cardenas be ordered to ex-
ercise more care, and that regret be eX-
pressed at the occurrence.

Pittsburg Photographer Murders the
Man He Called On.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 6.-This afternoon
Alex. Merriman, a photographer, went to
the residence of Mrs. John Rodd, in Arch
street, Allegheny, and asked to see her
son-iu-law, Benjamin Moore, a prominent
young business man. Merriman was
shown into the parlor, and Moore in a few
minutes followed him. What passed be-
tween them is unknown, but in less than
five minutes the sharp report of a pistol
was heard, and Merriman ran out Of the
house. Moore was found lying on the
floor with bullet hole through his left
side. An examination shows that the
ball passed through both lungs, inflicting
wound which will probably prove fatal.
Merriman went Immediately to the
Mayors office and gave himself up, but
refused to say anything about the shoot
ing. Moore is WidOwer. Merriman is
married and has a family.
Moore is still living, but in precarious
condition. He had two hemorrhages this
evening, and another may prove fatal.
Merriman said tonight that he had shot
to kill. Moore had interfered with his
domestic happiness, and when confronted
with the charge confessed his guilt. ''We
had been the best of friends" he said,
''and his confession so amazed me that
| shot him." Moore was to have been
married again in a few weeks.

WESTERN RAILROADS.
The Tripartite Agreement Apt to be
Thrown Up.

The Tripartite Agreement Apt to be
Thrown Up.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The representatives
of the Iowa trunk lines and Pacific roads,
embraced in the Southwestern system, re-
newed their conference this morning. The
result of their deliberations is now recog-
nized as one of great Importance,
and as affecting the further exist
ence of the tripartite agreement.
1t is now openly cOntended
by some of the parties to the tripartite
that it has accomplished nothing, and
that it can be no longer maintained. Since
Its consummation the relations of many
Western roads have changed. This is
particlarly true of the Northwestern
road since its absorption of the Blair sys-
TEN of roads. This system controls GER
tain local traffic in Nebraska which has,
under the tripartite agreement, been
given to the roads in that pool at Omaha.
The Northwestern management now as
Sert that the business belongs as thor
oughly to their company as any local
business in Iowa and Illinois, and will
certainly be held by it, the tripartite to
the contrary Notwithstanding. To the
dissolution of the tripartite, it is contend
ed that the Union Pacific itself is now a
passage, as its workings have proven dis
astrous to the earnings of that company.
