ELECTION GASES.

Tho Absence Of Ex-Coilector George
w. Mckee Causes Postponement Of
the Cases-An Attachment Ordered
for the Ex-Collector.
1t being known that several cases
were to be heard before the Municipal
Court last night for illegal registIa-
tlon, the court room was packed at an
early hour and remained so until the
close.
When the case OF Paul Ward, charged
with illegal registration In the Eleventh
ward, was called Henry @. Turner asked
for continuance on the ground that
he had another case to look after be-
fore justice OF the peace.
Judge Ball said, Henry G. Turner
might be excused long enough to go
to the Justices Office and get the case
there postponed. Mr.. Turner then
started for the Justices office.
The name Of George w. Mckee, tax;
Wilmington was called but that gentle-
man not responding, Sergeant Peter
son went out to hurry him up with an
attachment. Mr.. Turner In q few
minutes returned but the Court could
not go on with Mr. Mckee absent.
At nearly 8 o'clock Sergeant Peter
son came back with tho Information
that MIR. Mckee could not be found.
The attachment was then renewed and
the officer was directed to arrest Mr..
Mckee wherever found.
The case was continued until this
mornings session.
Walter ii. Hayes, Esq, counsel for
| Thomas II. Wilson and Joseph l.. Wig.
gins, colored men, arrested for Illegal
registration, the first in the Third dis
trlct, First ward, and the latter In the
Sixth district, Fifth ward, asked for q
second continuance of the case, as he
had to besbefore Justice OF the pence.
He asked that the case DO postponed
until Thursday.
Judge Ball said that no did not SEQ
why his court should wait for any
| other. There Is an attachment for
Mr.. Mckee and he Is liable to be lock-
ed up, 1t Is therefore unfair that the
case should be postponed any longer
than possible.
Mr.. Hayes said that II Mckee should
disobey q summons and In consequence
was locked up, that was his own fault.
He would be ready for trial at
O'Clock this morning II possible.
Henry o. Turner, counsel for Paul
Ward, said that the same argument ap-
piled to that case. II MIR. Mckee
chooses to dlsobey the orders OF the
court and gets locked up, that Is his
own look out.
George A Elliott. Esq, associated
with Mr.. Hayes In the election cases,
said that q postponement until this
morning would not suit him, as he had
to go away.
Judge Ball thon announced that all
the election cases would go over until
this morning at 9o'clock, but he would
see that none of their cases elsewhere
should be 1eopardized by their attend
ance at his court.
The bail bonds in all cases were con,
tinued.
Samuel Pierson came forward and
requested to withdraw tho warrants he
had sworn out for the arrest of Robert
@. Porter and Edward Porter, fol
Illegal registration in the first and sec.
ond wards. He said that no person
had approached him and solicited the
withdrawal. His request was granted,
and Court adjourned until o O'Clock
this morning.

a summons yesterday to be present at
the Municipal court last evening to
give testimony in the pending Illegal
registration cases. lIe Gays no sum
mons was served upon him and he was
not aware that he was wanted at the
Municipal court. Instead OF being out
OF the city during tho day AMI last
night he was at his Office, Market
street above Ninth. In the evening he
was out once during which time
Sergeant Peterson might have called
and missed him. Oh, no, said Mr..
Mexico, you will not fluid me lodging
my duty. Twill always be on hand
when wanted. Judge Ball thought
Mr.. Mckecs excuse u good one and
dissolved tho attachment, t

At l3 O'clock the Levy Court took a
recess until 2 p. m, when II Is expected
that Edward q. Bradford, Esq, attor-
ney for the court, will have,executlons
prepared to proceed promptly against
the sureties OF the late county tax col
lectors.
When these executions are issued, 1t
Is expected that an application will be
made to tho Court of Chancery for On
injunction to restrain tho process of
the execution until the liabilities OF
the sureties will be argued and deci-
Ided. 1t Is expected that a movement
will be made this afternoon to borrow
$4,000 for the use of the county to
tide it over Its financial difficulty.
The motion will be opposed on tho
ground that the County has no right
TO borrow while 1t now has a floating
debt OF $4,000. AS will be seen by tho
report of the County Comptroller,
there Is only Sl51.03 in the County
treasury. II money is not forthcom-
ing soon tho County wheels OF Govern
ment will be effectually blocked.

VIII Try to Hold On.

This e2cnlrg is the time appointed
for the Board of Health TO elect gee
retary and registrar, and 1t Is more than
probable thatit will be done. Vim.
Ii. Lee, the present secretary and
register, claims that under the new
law lie Is entitled to continue III Office
until next May, and says that no has
been advised by counsel TO hold on.
Consequently it seems as though there
would be a hitch.
