YOUR HUSBAND is DEAD.
Startling News That the Wife of Capt.
Hall Was Greeted With.

Captain II. w. Hall of the schooner
Charles A. Campbell died yesterday at
about 2 o'clock, the cause being heart
disease. Captain Hall had been apparent
in the best of health up to the
time of his death. Sunday
while walking on the deck he in some
way slipped, but neither he nor any of
the crew paid any particular attention to
the accident. About noon yesterday he
was taken ill, and the tug Glide was sent
TO Riverside for medical assistance and
DIR. Coke responded and did what
he could for him. A little later the
steamer G.. w. Danielson was hailed and
requested to send medical assistance from
this city, and was about to sail when the
captain was told that the services of a
physician were not necessary as
the captain was dead. The Glide at once
returned to the schooner, having on board
Undertaken Monahan, who placed the
body on the Glide and from there to his
establishment onW ickenden street. A dis
patch was sent TO his family at Gardiner,
Me-, the home of the captain, but Mrs.
Hall was enroute to this city TO join her
husband and was not aware of his death
until she arrived here at midnight. She
was at once driven to Mr.. Monahan's es-
tablishment- where arrangements were
made to have the remains
forwarded ito the state of Maine. They
were placed aboard of the train at 10
o'clock this morning. Captain Hall is
well known in this port, and he
first came to this port with a
load of hard pine timber that was
used for the construction of the Provi-
dence dry dock. The schooner he then
commanded was the Nellie r. Morse.
Since that time he has commanded several

In pack of cards. Here we often find six.
We fully explained all these things to a
stranger named Parker, who arrived here
the other day to see if the climate would
help his asthma, but he went right over to
the Wild Horse saloon, sat down to game
of poker with old Tom Scott and tried to
rake in the pot under the belief that thrces
beat two pairs That would be the case in
some localities, but it is not here. Mr..
Scott had TO shoot Mr.. Parker in the shoul-
der before he would be convinced. and we
think he left town feeling that he had
somehow been injured in both mind and
body. If Mr.. Parker bad had two six
shooters ON the table, then his threes would
have knocked two pairs silly, but he didn't
have them. We offered to lend him one as
he left the Office. but he refused the loan,
and thereby lost $50 in cash and got in the
way OF bullet. One is no longer obliged
to drink with a stranger or fight in this
town, but we have lots of other little Gus
toms and legends and idioms which fly up
and hit the head when trodden on.

Several Cases That May Have Oc-
CURED InnocentIy-A Remedy.
City Clerk Clarke in revising the lists of
registry voters has discovered several in
stances in which the applicant has reg
istered his name successfully in different
districts. This has been due to a variety
of reasons, among which may be included
the notices sent out by the city commit
tees and the city treasurer and his collec-
tors of the poll taxes. He has suggested
a remedy which would tend to prevent this
possibly innocent repeating process. He
advises the appointment of boards of reg
istration in the several districts composed
of an equal number of Republicans and
Democrats, and with an efficient clerk
who is familiar with the majority
of the residents in the district,
the liability of such errors would be ma
terially diminished. The wisdom of an
educational qualification as prerequisite
to voting was emphasized during the last
week of the registry. man informed
one of the clerks that his name was Kerr
and he was asked how he spelled it, with
c. or X. He was unable to state, and
couldn't write his name nor that of the
street on which he resided. He was advised
to enlist the services OF an interpreter.
He returned in half an hour with a small
piece of paper on which his name and ad-
dress were written, and made his mark
after fashion. The clerks are engaged
i'm classifying the lists in the several dis
tricts, and they frequently encounter
many snags, In arriving at an intelligent
adjustment OF the complications under
the present registry system.

Hagerstown is experiencing a munlcip IL
nuddle or deadlock which is likely to re-
suit in serious complications and inter-
fere with the city's interests if persisted n.
NJ. l.. Keedy was the latter part of April
elected mayor on the republican ticket.
The city council. over which he presides,
Is solidly democratic. and this body has
repeatedly and persistently refused to con-
firm any Of the mayors nominees for the
city Offices, the members claiming a right
to division of the "spoils," while the
mayors aGhereuts assert these were all of
the big loaves." All of the present off,
Gals can hold over with the exception of
Tax Collector Middlekauff, whose time is
about to expire, when II his successor is
not appointed and qualified no one will
be legally qualified to receive and dlsburse
the city's finances. The time for making
the annual levy is at hand and uneastness
ever the situation is beginning to manifest
ITSELF which is heightened by an ammo unce-
ment upon the mayor that he will make no
further nominations until called upon to do
so by the council.
The annual fax levy has been made by
the county commissioners and the rate
placed at 10 cents On the 800, which is 8
cents more than last year.
The May floods caused great damage to
the county roads and to raise funds to re-
pai- them and also to meet outstanding
obligations OF the public schools this in
crease was found necessary. The taxable
basis is s19.76o,0fs, an increase of s4U3,
over last year.

Kee-Mar College, the well-known Luth-

legged to be due Tor the years 1855 and

Rev. c. l.. keedy, the president of Kee-
Mar, to the county commissioners that he
would not pay taxes on the college, alleg-
ing that the property was exempt on the
grounds that it is a duly Incorporated re-
HgtouS educational institution. This will
bring the matter before the court, when a
much mOoted question will be settled, as
other institutions will be effected by the
decision.
