THE MORGAN REGISTER,

A Register intended to include all stations
OF merit that trace in direct line to Justin
Morgan and having at least one sixtyfourth
OF his blood. All such stations ioaled in or
before 1880 are admitted free. fee of one
dollar is charged tor registering each stallion
foaled since 1880, and for each mare whenever
foaled. All mares are eligible that have the
descent and inheritance above prescribed tor
stations. The first volume, the final sheets
of which are now being revised tor the press,
will contain about four thousand pedigrees,
carefully compiled from original sources, n
sketch of the origin and history of the great
Morgan family, and much other new and orig
inal matter. The book will be illustrated with
portraits of Morgan horses, and handsomely
and substantially bound. The price is not yet
fixed, but will be as low as can be afforded, so
that the work may be widely distributed.
The work has been done throughout on the
plan of first exhausting all practicable means
OF getting and verifying information, discrim-
mating rigidly between what is known and
what is unknown, aud setting down nothing
as ascertained which is in doubt. Sources OF
information will be given in each pedigree so
that every reader can verify the work for
himself. Full descriptions of the animals reg
istered will be given, and tables showing the
merits of the Morgans, as compared with 9th
er families, for both speed and endurance on
the track, will be appended. Entries will be
received for short time further, and blanks
furnished on application. Address

Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sir: You are mistaken about
Champlain being brother to Lady
Litchfeld. His dam was full sister
of that mare. AS David Hill and his
son, Edgar, of whom Mr.. Ii. Ladd
bought several colts at that time did
not give him the pedigree of the dam
of l.. l.. and his dam, presume it was
not known. Comparatively few pedi-
grees were given then back of the sire
and dam and if this second dam was
aged, as she probably was, the chances
would be against her pedigree being
known. We always advertised him as
an inbred Black Hawk, his dam being
full sister to Lady Litchfield, and this
is all the pedigree we had of him. He
was the sire of great many valuable
roadster and carriage horses and lived
to great age, being 80 when he died,
only few years since. We brought

the first race, the first time in company,
the first hitched to a sulky. He lost
the last heat in 2:57 by half neck

eight to ten lengths in this heat. lie
was driven by boy the first time he
ever drove a race and was not handled

later, and did not get there in time to
see him through. The track was very
slow. He shows quarters in 3S to 40.

white stripe in face and probably one

some three seasons. At about that
time Mr.. Warner was drowned in at
tempting to cross the Illinois river on

1t Is thought Mr.. Warner took this

DELAYED BY AERISkY COLT.

The following tracy" sketch was pub
lished in the n. Y. Sun: 81 was pass
enger on the Vermont Central railway
the other day" said a gentleman of this
city yesterday. "A short time after the
train left Windsor, VT, a young horse
that was feeding in a lot close by the
side of the track kicked up his heels
when the train was within few rods of
him, and, leaping the fence at bound,
jumped on the track, and galloped away
ahead of the train. The engineer sound
ed his whistle, and, although the train
was almost upon the horse, the animal
did not leave the track. The engineer
lessened his speed, so that the horse
ing thai the animal would soon be frighten-
ed of. lie kept straight ahead, how
eyer, and the cars chased him closely for
two miles. At that point the railroad
crosses deep ravine by trestle bridge
ninety feet long. Some workmen were
at the end of the trestle, and when they
saw the horse tearing down the track
toward them they shook their coats and
hallooed at him. The horse stopped at
sight of the men, but, looking back and
seeing the engine putting and whistling
behind him, started ahead again with a
snort, and gallopcd upon the trestle, al
though he could easily have left the rail-
road on either side of the rails. The
horse ran safely more than half way
across the trestle, and then missed his
footing. Both fore feet went down be-
tween the ties and then the hind feet and
legs went through, and the horse was
suspended over the ravine, the bottom of
which was nearly a hundred feet below.
The train was stopped before it ran on
the trestle. The train-men took num-
Der of boards from a hpighboring fence
and placed them by the side of the horse
They then tied his legs together and roll
ed him over on the boards on his side
James Amman, passenger, was out OF
the trestling looking at the men at work
at the horse. He became dizzy and fel
through one of the spaces between the
ties. He mechanically turned as he wa:
passing through and flung both arm:
over one of the ties. He hung there il
mid-air over the chasm, and before hi
hold could give way he was seized by
two other passengers who stood near, ant
rescued. lie tainted a moment afterwarC
and was not fully conscious for an hou
afterward.
"When the horse was finally turned
over on his side on the fence boards
rope was fastened to him and attached t,
the locomotive, which was backed dow
the track, dragging the horse along tn
, boards until he was drawn off the trestle
He was then dragged off to one side o
of the track, and his legs united. II
quickly sprang to his feet, and, wthou
waiting for any one to examine his in
juries, galloped back in the direction
from which he had come. AS soon as h
had run the length of the train he took t.
the railroad again, although the groun,
on both sides was smooth and level. Tn
train was delayed three-quarters of al

The Sentinel Again.

We propose no extended reply at present
to the two columns of the Sentinel devoted
last week to some remarks of the ADVOCATE
of the preceding week, in both of which 1t
fails to see any reason why We should in the
one case defend the nomination of Leon j.
Bailey for United States District Attorney for
the district of Indiana, and in the other why
the ADVOCATE saw proper to allude TO the
scandals under the Grant regime and to Re
publican lawlessness and outrage in Maryland.
We very clearly showed, two weeks ago,
to those not too blind to see, that Mr.. Balley's
only sin, in Republican eyes, was his allega-
ton, and production of the proof to sustain 1t,
that the Republican candidate for President
did say that "a dollar day was enough for
workingman." This he asserted when the
employees of railroad company were strug-
Cling against very inadequate compensation.
Last week we anticipated the Sentinel by
referring to Mr.. Bailey's withdrawal by Pres
ident Cleveland, alleging the reason to be an
anticipated hanging up of the nomination by
a Republican Senate in order 90 delay and
defeat the prosecution of the rascals who
bought the electoral vote of the state for Har-
rison. If it were now worth the time and
space we could produce some evidence on
these points, but we have said sufficient for
the present on Mr.. Bailey's nomination.
By turning to its files few weeks after the
election, the Sentinel will observe that, in
reply to the ADvocATE's remark that Mr..
Cleveland received large popular majority,
it put out strong limitations that 1t was fraud
ulent by reason of intimidation and frauds
against the negroes in the South. That called
forth the remarks of the ADVOCATE concerning
the Credit Mobilier swindle, the Whiskey
Ring, Radical outlawry in Maryland, the
fraud which deprived Mr.. Tilden of the Pres
idency, &c Our neighbor need not concern
itself with the illusions Of that short article.
Before next November there may be other
articles that will give it aud its party great
concern for its existence in Maryland at least
Republican papers, particularly in Mary
land, have been given too free rein to drive
past the records of their own party, and they
must be brought to discussion of their own
acts, to let the people of Maryland judge OF
their fitness or un6tness to be trusted with

To Combat Christian Doctrine.

The Baltimore Sun of Monday, last, says:
There is a movement on foot to establish "a
Sunday School in this city whose teachings
will he dramatically opposed to the instruc-
ton impaired in religious Sabbath meetings.
Through the school it is proposed to bring into
closer communion all the free thinking peo-
ple'' in the city. committee has perfected
a plan for the conduct of the school, which
will be submitted to a meeting of Free Think
ers on next Sunday. 1t is proposed that all
parents not in accord with the teachings and
doctrines of any religious sect send their chill
dren to the "FIee Thinking Sunday School,
every Sunday morning, where they will be
instructed in social science, in morality as
suggested by nature, and in the Darwinian
theory of evolution as appertaining to the hu
man race. The divinity of Christ is to be
combatted, and He is to be held up merely as
a great and good man, without the possession
of any supernatural power.

Bribery at Elections.

Bribery at elections, since the battle Of the
ballots last November, has formed a eonspic-
uous part in charges to grand juries, state and
federal. in very many states. The unlawful
employment of money in elections, in bold
and fragrant manner, came with the rise OF
the Republican party. 1t has been practiced
by its managers aud beuefciaries time and
time again, and il cannot any more be success
ful without wholesale corruptsn Of voters
than ii can with the employment Of ballots.
We are not blind enough to fail to see or fool.
ish enough to assert that unlawful use Of money
is confined to the Republican party, but ne
do contend that bribery was either unknown
or carefully concealed from The general pub
lie before 1880 And we do not hesitate TO
assert that since 1850, except in ls72, the Re
publican party has never been successful in a
Presidential contest exeep; by bribery and
frauds on the ballot Nobody, who is familiar
with the practices Of those who managed Re
publican campaigns, will assert to the con
trary.
Bribery in 1850 aud again ia 1855, when
its almost open practice is nov 20 generally
conceded. may not have been altogether
an unmixed evil, ifihe words Of the dePOsito.
