Purge the Registration Lists

The negro registration increased to very
large degree in Baltimore last year, and IN
consequence the Democratic majority there
was much less than usual. The annual police
census was taken recently, and the comparl-
son of the police returns and the registration
lists show facts that have caused much com
aent. The fact that in two wards and sixty
precincts the registration exceeds the census
figures and in ten others equals them IS re-
garded as very Curious circumstance. The
further fact that in one precinct, where there
are 1I9 negroes registered, the police failed
to find a single negro voter resident, has
caused great establishment Democrats who
have made comparisons claim that these facts
are sufficient evidence in themselves that there
IS something wrong and that a thorough
scrutiny Of The negro registration in that city
is demanded in the interests Of good govern
ment. Of fair elections, the good name Of
the city, and fair expression Of public sen
timent.
The negro registration should be examined
closely in Montgomery, Anne Arundel, Prince
Georges, Charles, -. Mary ana IaifeFt
counties, particularly. They are in close
proximity to Washington, where there are
swarms Of negroes who formerly lived in ihose
counties, but who have left never TO retarn-
IL was said last fall that these former residents
were being hunted up and taken back to reg
ister and vote. Having left their homes IN
MARYLAND, and neglected for several years to
have their names retained upon the regisira-
ton books, and not appearing 10 vote, was
presumption that they did no, claim residence
in this state, and upon returning should have
been required to show legal residence In
one county there was contest over registering
the Washington importations, bat kepubh.
can Judge sustained the claims Of the negroes
Notwithstanding this, every negro registered
last fall from Washington, who Is not now m
MARYLAND, should be striekea from the lists.
Not only in these counties, but in all eonn-
ties of the state, the registration should be IN
quired into. Taxpayers votes should not be
neutralfzed by imported negroes, who pay no
taxes and have left the state.

A PERILoUs POSITION.
A TeIeg raPh Operator who Underwent
Peculiar Experience.

Last Saturday Thomas Marsden had narrow
escape from death, In company with Counsellor
Luke J. Connerton he was fishing in Flushing Greek
y Y, from the Long Island Railroad drawhridge,
when the west bound Whitestone train came thun-
dering along the treste work towards them. The
men did not see the dangling bell rope that hung
from the rear car. Just the train had passed
Connertcn was startled by the sudden disappear
ance of Marsden whom, an instant later, he saw
flying through the air after the rapidly disappear
ing train The rope had in some manner wound
itselfaround Marsden's neck and jerked him from
the bridge The sudden strain upon the rope rang
the bell in the engine cab. When the train was
stopped it was found that Marsden received severe
internal injuries which neeesstated his removal to
his home. There is no doubt that Marsden would
have been stranglei to death but for the fortunate
signal that the received to stop the train by
the ringing OF the bell in the engine cab.

Settling Oklahoma.

The territory of Oklahoma was opened to
settlement on Tuesday and there was grand
rush for homestcads from all sections OF the
Union. For two weeks or more settlers had
been encamped upon the border, ready to
move on TIE coveted land as soon as the day
for She opening arrived. Hundreds of freight
cars had been in waiting at Kansas City and
other points, ready to move into the territory.
These were loaded with buildings ready to be
put together, with store goods, and every
thing for the use of settlers aud the building
Of towns and cities In six hours after the
territory was open to settlement it is esti-
mated that 100000 persons had entered.
Guthrie, railroad station with few
houses, had a population of 1900 before
night fall, and at an election for Mayor and
Council held in the afternoon, 10000 votes
were cast. A bank, with capital of $4,000
was opened the same day, and people were
stalking off town lots in every direction.
The Accommodations for the large number of
settlers were inadequate, owing to the delay of
freight and camp equippage. There was
some suffering for two or three days, but now
affairs are in good condition. A sixty room
hotel has been erected, and houses of all
kinds-dwellings and stores-are going up
rapidly. Surveyors are laying off streets and
alleys, and every preparation is being made
to build city. A newspaper was established
at Guthrie the day settlers were admitted,
and the first issue appeared in the afternoon
Town sites have been laid of in several
places, and for the present things are boom
ing. Many who sought homes in the new
territory we're disappointed and hundreds
left upon the day of their arrival.
Oklahoma is strip Of land about 100
miles long by so wide, lying between Texas
and the Indian Territory, and for some years
was known as ''No Mans Land. There
was no government for the territory, and no
law, and might was right. Cattle companies
were gradually stalking out and appropriating
the land, driving out individual settlers, and
numbering them when resistance was offered.
During President Cleveland term the cattle
companies and settlers were all driven OF
the lands. and last winter the Congress passed
an act erecting territory and providing Tor
its settlement in the usual way government
lands are disposed of.

DROPPED OFF A HIGH HOUSE.
Shocking Suicide of a Drunken Old
Man Before a Crowd.

James Hogan, aged &c, committed suicide
at Chicago, Tuesday night. He had been
drinking hard all day. He was living at hotel
on n. Clark street. Shortly after 10 o clock he
got out on the roof of the four story building
with the avowed intention of killing himself.
Friends tried to persuade him to come down,
but without avail. When any one would
start after him he would run to the edge Of
the building and swing himself over. There
he would hang by his hands until his pur-
suers would retreat. Then he would draw
himself back and walk up and down the roof.
Finally a patrol wagon, manned by Off
GERS Cook and Murphy, arrived. The for
mer crawled up through the sky-hght to
attract the old mans attention, while Off
Ger Murphy climbed the fire escape outside.
As soon as Hogan saw officer Cook he ran 10
the edge of the building, and without saying
word he swung himself over, holding to the
edge of the building by his hands. A crowd
stood below in breathless silence. In mo
ment the old man loosened his hold and
dropped backward. His feet struck sign
over the third story window and his body
turned complete somersault, his head strik-
ing the pavement with a sickening noise.
His brains we're scattered for ten feet in
every direction. His head was mashed to a
pulp and the crowd stood back horror strick-
en-. The mangled body was taken to the
morgue.
