The New Great Register.

EDS. RECORD UNION: In the same spirit
of fairness to which you allude in your
article on "Small Precinct Registers" I
would suggest that strong effort be made
to purge ths new register, now being made
up, of many Objectionable features which
the old one contained, or, perhaps, rather /
should say, to insert other and valuable
features in the new one which the old one
did not contain. l refer now to the fact
that every means should be used to facili-
tate the speedy location of the voters num-
Der on the register, and pertinent to this
suggestion would be the use of better paper,
larger type, and the exercise of greater care
in the alphabetical arrangement of names.
In comparing the Great Register of So
mona county with that of Sacramento, l
find that the former contained over 5000
names, while the latter has less than
1900. So slight difference in
the number of voters should make
but little difference in the classifi-
cation of names. In the case of Sonoma
county, the matter of type and paper has
been well provided for, while l find scarcely
an error in the strict alphabetical arrange
ments of the contents. John Smith fol-
lows his brother James as naturally as
"a" takes precedence over 90" James
Douglas Smith precedes James Madi-
ison Smith, while the Mahoneys and Ma
loneys are each grouped in their own fami-
lies, insuring to these parties at glance
their station and number.
In the arrangement of Sacramento
voters it is wonder to me, sometimes,
that man can find his number at all.
Henry will follow John no oftener that
John follows Henry.
Thomas Jefferson would not feel dishon-
cred to be coupled to Smith; but is it not
enough to arouse the ghost of that illustri-
GUS gentleman to find promiscuously scat
tered in among the numerous family the
name of John Smiddy or Johann Schmidt?
Let US by all means have an honest regis
tration, and also properly arranged reg

POLICE COURT.
Alleged Brutal Assault Upon an Old
Lady.

Alleged Brutal Assault Upon an Old
Lady.
Billy Towers was before Judge Buckley
in the Police Court yesterday morning to
answer to the charge of having assaulted
and attempted to rape an old lady named
Mrs. Lower. He is negro, about 81 years
of age, and has been employed for the past
year by Frank Cosby as teamster. Mrs.
Lower testified that she was alone in hei
house on Wednesday morning last, shortly
before daylight, when some one knocked
at the door and demanded admission. She
refused to open the door and it was broken
in. She made rush for the street and
reached the sidewalk where she was thrown
to the ground and assaulted in the most
brutal manner. She screamed but was
choked by her assailant, who fled at the
sound of approaching footsteps. Her face
still bore the marks of the assault. Mrs.
Lower says that the moon was shining
brightly and that she positively identifies
Towers as the man who assaulted her.
Frank Cosby testified that Towers did OF
put in an appearance until after noon on
Wednesday.
The prisoner made statement denying
that he committed the assault. He said
that having some money on Tuesday night
he came down town and went to Smiths
place, where he had number of drinks.
He said he then went to the Lafayette sa-
loon, got drunk and slept in chair until
morning. About or o'clock he went
down to the wharf and slept until about
o'clock in the afternoon.
Judge Buckley decided 10 hear further
testimony in the case. He said that Mrs
Lower had evidently been badly treated by
some one and he was inclined to believe
her story, but if the prisoner could prove
an abb he should have an opportunity to
do so. Further testimony will be taken
this morning.
Henry Richards, arrested for being drunk,
forfeited deposit of S..
Thomas Clark was found guilty of va
grancy and sentenced to forty days impris-
orment.

For some time we have
been trying to get a shirt for
railroad men and mechanics
that would combine the fea-
lures Of both a dress and
working shirt. For wear
throughout the entire day
most dress shirts are too fine
and easily soiled most work
ing shirts too coarse and un-
slightly. There is a demand
for something between.
Not finding anything of the
kind in the market, we have
invented a shirt of our own,
and had it manufactured spe-
cially to our order. 1t is OF
dark blue Chambray, with col
lars and cuffs attached, opens
in front, in fact is made in the
same style as a white shirt.
As such it is shapely, slightly
and suitable for general wear.
As a a0orkamg shirt it ha, color
and price ($I) in its favor, be-
sides being strong and durable.
We believe these shirts will
give the best of satisfaction.
We shall be pleased to receive
any suggestions which those
who wear them may be able
to make from time to time, in
order that the shirt may be
brought to the highest degree
of perfection.

Francis D'Hondt's VIII.

An interesting will contest was heard by
Judge Van Fleet In Department Two O,
the Superior Court, yesterday. Two wills
made by Francis D'Hondt were filed for
probate, one dated October 5, 1885, and
the other dated November %, 1887. The
first will named Mrs. Marie Rosie D'Hondt.
wife of the testator, as executrix, while the
second named Albion G. Swsetzer as exec
utor. The estate was valued at some $20,-
600 and was left to Mrs. D'Hondt in beth
wills, but she objects to the probate of the
last will because it named Mr.. Sweetzer as
executor, as the commissions of the exec
utor, she alleges, will amount to 1920. She
alleges also that Sweetzer took advantage of
his position as agent to induce her hus-
band to name him as executor. When the
case came up for hearing yesterday the first
will was withdrawn and the contest to the
second abandoned, except as to the exec
utor. The will was admitted to probate
and the Court heard the arguments of Add.
G. Hinkson on behalf of Mrs. D'Hondt
and Clinton L. White on behalf of Mr..
Sweetzer. Judge Van Fleet, after hearing
the testimony and arguments, took the
matter under adyiSement

What the District Attorney of Yolo Says
About Washington.
Frank Sprague, District Attorney of Yolo
county, was in the city yesterday. He was
asked what the Yolo authorities proposed
to do with the faro banks, tan games, and
opium joints that would be started in the
town of Washington this week. "Well,n
replied he, they're your banks, your
games and your joints, and you had batter
take care of them yourselves Sacramento
county has jurisdiction 500 yards beyond
her county lines and if you don't like
those things in Washington close them up
and keep them moving. By the way. Yolo
county will give you Washington if you
want it. 1t is dumping-place for your
paupers and petty criminals, and has be-
come an eyesore to the good people of our
county and heavy expense to our taxpay-
ers. Say nothing more about it, but lust
take the whole thing" He said there were
some good people in Washington Eut the
Sacramento authorities had allowed it to
become Canada on a small scale.
