ELLIS STILL DEFIANT.
He Asks for an Injunction Against
the Presbytery.

~~SSy 49,
Rev. John W. Ellis, the deposed pas
tor of the Central Presbyterian taber-
nacle, still maintains determined and
aggressive front in his contest with the
presbytery, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. His first offensive move was
the filing OF suit against Hugh Fraser,
Henry Hufschmidt, T. G. Easton, Alex
ander j. Kerr and the presbytery to re-
cover 100000 damages for alleged con-
spiracy. After the filing of the COM
plant additional charges were preferred
against Ellis. They were duly heard by
the presbytery, with the result that the
accused was suspended from member
ship in that body. A resolution was
adopted declaring that he had been
guilty OF conduct unbecoming a. minister
of the Presbyterian church in having
sworn to complaint charging that the
defendants had tried him on charges
which they knew to be "false, mali
cious, wicked and villainous."
In an affidavit filed with the county
clerk yesterday, DR.. Ellis declares that
this resolution was adopted for the sole
PurpOec VI luJuIlAS LIS pIoicssloudl
standing, and to hinder and defeat his
suit. He further says that the order for
his suspension is aimed to deprive him
of his legal right to enjoy the practice
and benefits of his profession pending
a trial of his suit. He finally says that
the charges made. are based upon a
specification which is false in part. He
fears that the presbytery will proceed to
try him on the new charges specified,
and thus weaken his suit. The court is
therefore asked to make an order re-
straining the presbytery from taking
any steps toward holding such trial un-
til the case in court is decided, and also
to declare null and void the action of
the presbytery suspending the plaintiff
from membership.

LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC ENGINEERS AT
SANTA MONICA.
They are There to Do the Preliminary
Work Toward the Construction of the
Wharf-Talk With the Chief Engineer

Yesterday there left Los Angeles in
special car on the 5:07 p. m. train for
Santa Monica, seventeen engineers with
all the apparatus and complete fixtures
necessary for long outing siege. The
HERALD had its railroad reporter on that
train. and at Santa Monica he had an
interview with W. G. Eads, the en-
gineer in charge OF the crew. Mr.. Eads
stated that they had just completed all
the changes and work in the Arizona
country and were ordered to Santa
Monica, where they would receive in
structions as to their future operations.
While Mr.. Eads was very reticent and
would not positively state that thev
were ordered there for the purpose Of
making the necessary surveys in rela-
ton to the Santa Monica wharf-buildinp
and real estate schemes, nevertheless.
he became very much interested when
the cafion and adjacent territory was
mentioned, eagerly noting down any
data obtainable on the subject. When
questioned about the most feasible of
the two proposed routes-the one by
way OF the beach and the other bv way
of the soldiers home-he was unable
from his meagre information to express
an opinion.
The camp outfit is of an extensive
character and the supplies, ETC.. indicate
work in new country or away
from the track. Operations will COM
mence at the cafion as soon as the in
structions arrive, and then the good
work that the HERALD has already as
sured its readers was in store for Santa
Monica and Los Angeles will commence.
All the necessary land for rights of
way and many hundreds of acres in ad-
dition thereto have been secured and it
looks as if it were time for the HERALD's
contemporaries to own up to the scoop
and tell their readers the news if it is a
little late in getting into their sheets.
While at Santa Monica the, HERALD
reporter ascertained that the citizens
generally believed the news and corobo-
rated it in many trifing details. 1t is
needless to state that they receive the
information with great glee, and are
willing to do all in their power to
further the Southern Pacific in its
aims to push the city by the sea to the
front.

The sinking Of artesian wells without
casing is creating great deal of excite

following:
A new era has been opened up in
Antelope Valley, solving the water prob
lem. Mr.. J. w. Lough came to Lancas-
ter last week with set of artesian well
tools. from Colorado, and commenced,
sinking wells without the use OF pipes?
The first well sunk was on B. E. Han

In boring this well they were actually
engaged only seven hours, going down
100 feet and getting flow OF four and
! half miners inches. They
next moved to G. S. Davis's place,
two miles west of Lancaster, where
another we'll was sunk. The first flow
was struck at depth of sixty feet, the
second flow at 100 feet. The well was
continued to a depth OF 204 feet, and
f1ow of about five miners inches was
secured. On this we'll they were only
ENGAGED in actual boring one day, but
fonr hours secured the flow that they
now have at 1856 feet. The next well
was commenced on James P. Wards
Mace one mile north OF town, at
6;cIock .. M. on Wednesday last. The
hands stopped work at $50 p. M, at
depth Of 3O3 feet, and on Thursday

it was learned that he escaped with a
few bruises. The horse was injured
rather badly.

THE DISFRANCHiSINC PRO.
CESS.
MissiSsippi'S Colored Vote Be-
ing Killed by the Ubiquitous
Poll Tax.

A special to the New York Sun says:
The registration in Mississippi shows that
the provision in the new constitution OF
that State in regard to the prepayment
of poll taxes has had the effect expected,
namely, the diminuion of the negro
vote. The trainers of the constitution
aimed to prevent the negro from secur-
ing political control of the State by two
provisions, one requiring the paying OF
poll taxes four months in advance OF an
election, and the other by an educational
qualification. The prepayment OF poll
taxes went into immediate operation
The time for the payment OF the tax ex-
pired in July, so it is now known how
the law has operated.
Returns from thirty-two out of sixty
five counties show that A, 971 whites and
II 1871 negroes registered. If the proper
ton is kept up in the other counties, the
total registration will be S9,450 whites
and 80, 200 negroes, or white majority
81, 900. More than three-fourth of the
negroes have declined to register or pay
the poll tax. In only one county, Boil
var, is their registered negro majority,
and even there more than one-half the
negroes failed to register. In Yazoo,
out of 5000 negroes entitled to registra-
ton, only 70 availed themselves of the
privilege, and in Lowndes, out of 5000
there were only "A. In the southern por-
ton of the State about one-half the ne
groes registered, but in the heavy negro
counties of the Yazoo Delta not one-fifth,
and in many counties only one in ten reg
istered. About s per cent. of the whites
and DISTINGUISHED by the new provision,
are in some counties the loss runs as high
as % per cent. but never higher. The
poll tax provision of the new constitu-
ton of Mississippi, therefore, assures a
large white majority of voters in that
State without the educational qualifca.

JOHN SHERMAN
Expresses His Ideas on the
Coming Ohio Campaign.
He Likens the Struggle to
That of 1875.

Senator sherman Summarizes the Polit-
zeal Situation in Ohio" The Battle
of Gettysburg in a Great Financial
War He Has No Fears of Major
McKiniey's Defeat
New YORK. Aug. 21-The Press has
a set interview with John Sherman at
his home in Mansfi Ia. O., On the issues
at stake in the coming campaign i'll that
state. The senator stnlnarizes the sit
uation with this metapaorical allusion
allusion to the greatest battle Of the
war: eve are lighting the battle Of
Gettysburg in a great financial war in
Ohio this year Its result involves the
strength Of our monetary system.
Hence we have grave sponsibihties to
meet graver even than we have ever
before had to shoulder, because we have
the twin issues of finance and tariff de-
pending upon the verdict of our people.
He likens the struggle INTO that of
1875, when Mr. Hayes won the fight
for an honest dollar against Governor
Allen, and calls upon the party work
ers for money and such other support as
they can render. He says there is a
lack Of interest in the Ohio campaign,
which is the most important of the
campaign, and proceeds to define the
issues at length with a parting injunc-
ton for every man in this country
who cares for its material welfare" to
contribute to the campaign funds.
Asked if he had any fears that Mr..
Mckinley would be defeated, the sena-
tor said: None. | have too much
respect for the intelligence and integrity
of the Republicans Of this state to be-
lieve that it is possible for them to
desert their party and al its traditions
upon the financial question in crisis
like this, OF in any other emergency.
We have won many hard battles against
stronger opposition than anything in
SIGHT now. But it is well for the people
of the country to be informed that this
is not more our battle than it is of
every man who believes III a sound
currency and an honest dollar. Should
we be defeated, of which | have no fear,
who is to suffer? The blow falls hard
est on the great financial centres Of the
east and consequently upon the work
ing men all over the country.
