streamers to be supplied at the various
sound. money headquarters. This is
undoubtedly good suggestion, and
even though the streamers may moi
be supplied gratuitously. the sound

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 90. Charles f.
Crisp, ex-Speaker Of the House Of Rep
yesentatives, died in private SAM
tarium here this afternoon. He had
been in the institution for 80 days.
A paroxysm OF pain in the heart
preceded death, the paroxysm probably
resulting from a rupture OF the heart
! as the result Of fatty degeneration.
Judge Crisp came to Atlanta six
weeks ago for treatment. He was then
suffering from typical case of malarial
foyer. which had developed at his home
in Americas. He spent June, July and
part of August in the mountains OF
North Carolina and Tennessee. His
return to Middle Georgia during the
very hottest period of the summer
developed the fever. After week.
treatment by Drs. Holmes and Davis,
the fever disappeared, and the judge
improved slowly. Last week he was
out driving several times, and he was
getting stronger until Sunday night,
when he was attacked with symptom
of his old trouble, pneumonia. DIR.
j. S. Todd was called In, and on Tues.
day congestion of the lungs disap-
peared, but the patient was so weak
that Mrs Crisp telegrsphed for her
children, and all came next day. Or
Wednesday and yesterday Judge Crisp'f
condition improved, but he received nc
callers. His family were hopeful unit
10 o'clock last night, when he had Q

midnight there was another paroxysm,

DEnAwARE RIrER IMPROVEMENT
Decision OF the Engineers Not to be Made
Public For Some Time.

Pubic For Some Time.
A Washington special to the Phila-
delphia Ledger says: The -decision OF
the board Of engineers with reference
to the improvement of the Delaware
river between Reedy Island and Lis
tons Point, will not be made public for
some time to come. The delay is due
to the unusual wording OF the clause
in the approximation act providing for
the investigation recently held. Under
the wording of the act, the board is
directed to ''consider and report to the
Secretary Of War on the first Monday
in December of the current year.
This mandate is unusual in that pro-
visos of like nature almost invari-
ably use the phrase "on or before,
The attention of the chief of engineers
has been called to the act, and he has
decided that the date of making. the re-
port is definitely fixed as the first
of December. Consequently, what
ever conclusions the board has arrived
from the inspection and approval of
Monday in December, when they will
be laid before him.. OF course. there
was no intention on the part of Con-.
gress to delay the making OF the report
| itself.
The only effect of the wording Of
the clause will be to prevent possible
earlier publication of the conclusions
arrived at. 1t will in no degree delay
the report in its transmittal to Con
gress through the office of the Secretary
| of War. The object in definitely fix
ing the tins was to insure an Investi-
Cation during the recess, and con-
illusions upon the facts brought out by
such investigation, which should be
formulated in time for prompt action
by Congress during the forthcoming
| session. There is no reason to doubt
that when Congress meets it will be in
possession OF all the information
necessary to enable it to hasten the
work Of the improvement Of the lower
Delaware to the mutual satisfaction OF
the inhabitants 'of the western shore
of the river. and to the great com
mercial interests which are menaced by
the insufficient depth Of water in the
channel

James A. Power, editor of the

Saturday night by Constable Harry r.
Smith on a warrant sworn out BY DIR.
&. N. Slaughter, Single Tax candidate

The action was the result of an article
published in the Economist on Satur-
day accusing DR.. Slaughter with
having made deal in favor of Hof-
fecker, the Union Republicanscandidate
for Governor, and duplicating several
others. Power was arraigned before
Magistrate Daley and was held in
1000 bail tn answer at the upper
court, In default of bail Power was
locked up at the police station, but
Sunday morning security was fur
nished and he was liberated. He says
he can prove the assertions made in
the paper at the proper time. DR..

There is lack OF knowledge among
voters as to the correct way to stamp
the ballot at the coming election. A
young man who has been making
speeches to the Bryan Democrats in
this city. when talking on the subject
Monday morning showed that he did
not know how to stamp the ticket cor
rectly. 1t Is altogether likely that
steady efforts will be made from now
until election day to have the voters
instructed on this important question.
Tho voters assistants will be appointed
by the inspection officers on the morn
ing of the election, but it III suggested
that voters learn to vote without their
assistance.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.


Summary of the Four Days Work In the
City of Wilmington.
The city registration was completed
on Saturday night, and as result of
the four days sitting 16s 5Sl men are
qualified to vote, Just 800 more than in
1894, There were probably something
over 1000 negroes registered, which Is
about the same as two years ago. The
exact number cannot be told, as out OF
the 68 districts IL did not make such
returns az would show the distinction
between the white and colored mon. In
the districts where the distinction was
reported the number OF colored men
registered was |, 421, and it is estimated
| that about 600 more were registered In
| the districts which did not report on
color. Some of the Republicans COM
| planned that several negroes were pre-
vented from. registering who had a
right to vote, but this is denied by
Democratic registration officers, and
their denial would seem to be sub
| stantiated by the returns, which makes
the colored registration about the same
as it was two years ago.
A ii OF the wards showed an increase
except the Third, Sixth, Eighth and
| Twelfth, in which there was slight
falling off. Although the increase in
the city since the election two years
ago was rather light, 1t is said to be
about equally divided between Demo.
Gratis and Republicans.
Ths registration was generally salts
factory, and with the exception of 9
few places where there were attempts
at illegal registration, there was nc
trouble. What little trouble was ex.
perienced was mainly caused by colorec
men. whose right to register was dis
puted.
