the REMUNERATION BILL.
Its EssentIal Features and Points in
which il Differs from the Present

Its EssentiaI Features and Points in
which it Differs from tho Present
Law.
The registration bin for Chatham
county, pending before the Legislature, is
exciting considerable interest. Although
it has never been published IN full, the
main points in which it differs from the
present law are the provisions for the APP
pointment Of election commissioners, the
publication of the registration lists, and
the hours for registration.
The bill provides that the five Election
Commissioners shall consist Of the Judge
Of the Superior Court. the Judge of the
City Court, and one Commissioner each
appointed Dy the Board Di County Commits
sioners. the Board OF Education, and the
Sinking Fund Commission. II also pro-
Vides that the registration books shall be
closed two days before the election, and
that the list OF voters registered up TO the
day before the closing of the books shall
be published on that day, and that
the complete list shall be published the
DAY preceding the election. Another fea-
ture OF the bill Is the regulation Of the
hours for registration, ana pro-
vlding that the books be kept
open two days in each week during
which the registration is in progress, and
on the day before they are closed from to
: o'clock In the afternoon. In addition TO
the regular hours. There are other mi
nor provisions looking 90 the securing of
correct registration lists, etc. but the
main points in which the bill differs from
that already in force are those enumeT-
ated. An amendment has been suggested
providing that instead OF the Judges of the
two courts acting as commissioners
the grand juries of the May and June
terms Of the Superior Court shall each APP
point commissioner, thus making the

ENFORCING QUARANTINE RULES.
The II salth omcer Holds a Vessel Bound
Up the River.

The Norwegian bark Nadia, Capt'
Schjelderup, which arrived at quarantine
from Buenos Ayres on Thursday, started
to come up to the city yester-
day morning. DIR. Mcfarland, hear
ing Of it, dispatched n tug
to meet her and order her back. The rea-
son was because she had not complied
with the quarantine regulations. She
was met about four miles below the city.
and turned back. Buenos Ayres is
not believed 20 be an infected port. but
is in the territory prescribed by the
local Board Of Health. All vessels from
infected or suspected ATTITUDES are re-
quired 10 discharge ballast at quarantine,
a rule with which the Nadia did not COM
ply. The mistake Is said 10 lie with
the officers at the quarantine who
allowed the bark 10 leave. BuenOs
Ayres being south OF 30 deg. south lati-
tude does not come under the most strin-
gent rule Of the Board Of Health, which
requires vessels from certain ports 20 lie
at quarantine 10 days. Vessels from
ports in south America south Of 80 deg.
OF south latitude are required,
like those from above the line, To have
their biges and llmbers cleansed and
sweetoned and be fumigated az least twice
before being allowed 20 come up to the
city. The Nadia will be kept below until
these rules are complied with. There
will probably be an Investigation in the
case 10 ascertain who was m fault In
permitting the bark 20 leave the station.

The Oitv Cnnrt.

The attention of the City Court was
occupied during the greater portion Of it's
sitting with the trial OF Mai. n. 0. Tilton,
charged with assault and battery. The
testimony showed that "a German named
John Miller, about 20 years of age, and
his two sons, August and Gus Miller,
were living last May on a portion Of Mai.
TlltOn's plantation on Wilmington island,
and were farming on shares with the
owner. Sometime during the month
some boys, who were guests at Mai. Til
toms, entered Miller's turnip patch and,
1t was alleged, destroyed "a portion OF the
growing crop. One of Miller's sons
drove the youthful trespassers from the
patch, and during a conversation which
Miller, ST., had afterwards relative TO
suited one of maj. TiltOn's family. The
offender was called upon TO apologize TO
the lady. Miller was, however, unable
to speak in English, and one of his sons
interpreted the demand for an apology to
the father, who promised TO make the
ameude honorable. 1t appeared, however.
that he neglected to do SO, and one day
Mai. 1iltOn overlook him on the road,
and gave him such beating
that he mad to be brought to the city and
placed in the hospital for treatment.
Miller claimed that when he WAS gesticu-
lating and talking to the lady he was re-
ferring 10 the conduct OF the lads who in
vaded his turnip patch, and had not
intended to insult any one. The jury,
after being out some time, failed to agree,
and a mistrial was declared
