Only 14OO Names on
Registry Books so Far.
OVER 10000 YET TO GO ON
Opening OF City Campaign VIII
Increase Registration.
TEN WEEKS LEFT FOR THE WORK

There were l3. 000 voters who registered
for the privilege Of voting last year, which
was 5000 short OF the number that regis
tered the year before Thus far this year
400 names have been placed on tho
books in the registering Office on the
basement floor OF the city hall, which
leaves a big blank To be filed during the
next 10 weeks before the books will be
closed, and those neglecting the privileges
of registering before the clock strikes IL,
Dec 81, will be denied the JOY Of being
electors during the year 1898.
According TO the lowest probable esti'
mate there are at least 1900 more names TO
60 on the list before the expiration Of the
time limit and IL can be readily seen that
now is good time for prospective voters
to get their names on the books before
the discomfort of the big rush sets in.
Last year many persons were left of
the list simply because they waited too
long anu when they went to the city hall
office they found long list of walters
stringing out from the desks where tho
registering was done. IThey couldn't spare
the time TO wait, so they deferred the
registering until the next day.
1nen the string was longer than the
day before, and il was put oil again, until
finally some of those who had neglected
to register ut convenient time before
the rush, stood outside the breastworks
when the stroke of midnight slgniiled
that large number of voters would not
vote the next year because they had for
gotten that the books had been open a
whole year.
1t is expected that from now on the
work of registration will be more brisk
and that the clerks in the Office will be
kept busy after the present rush OF max
ing up the list OF voters for posting will
have been finished. The clerks are busy
on this work now, anu they will probably
labor day and night until after election.
1t is said that the result of registration
at the present time is botter than it was
at tho corresponding time of last year,
but IL is not what IL ought to be with
only 10 weeks intervening before the close
of the books.

THE BANK WINS
In BUCKLlN CASE.
Loan Must Be Paid Out of In
Surance Money.
Court VIII Announce Decision on Pay
ment OF Costs Later.

The trouble between Albert II. Sher-
man. administrator on the estate of David
W. Buclslin and the Pawtucket National
bank OF Pawtucsot. in regard to the
largest share Of policy of insurance is
sued by the Connecticut Mutual Life In
surance on the life of Bucklin. who at one
time lived Mt Riverside ana cominitted
suicide was settled today by the Appel
late Division of the Supreme Court. The
matter involved relations between Buck
lin, Joseph Il. Dispeau and the bank
named.
The insurance policy was in the posses
sion OF the bank when Mr.. Sherman went
to look up tho estate left by Bucklin.
Now the officials of the bank hold that
there had been a loan made to Bucklin
by Joseph Dispeau, who was director of
tho bank. President Olney Arnold, of
the institution that mold the policy,
claimed that IL was taken as security for
tho note.
Mr.. Sherman and his counsel urged
that the policy was not in the hank as Sc
curity for any loan, but merely for pre-
serva tion. Mr.. Owen, counsel for Mr.
Sherman, claimed hc could prove from
the books of the bank that the policy was
in tho custody long before any advance
had been made by Dispeau on the bank.
The court looked upon the loan and the
leaving of the policy as practical as
signment. Mr.. Owen argued that there
was no proper assignment shown. Gen.
Arnold testified that there was an oral
assignment of the policy by Bucklin to
Dspeau.
The decision of the court was an assign
mcnt of the policy anc that the note
must be paid out of tho proceeds of the
policy. Another interesting question that
the court had th0n To settle was who
should pay tho costs Of the litigation
James Tillinghast who represented the
bank. claimed that tho Bucklln estate
was responsible for the costs and that
they should be paid out of tho $3.50 due
on tbe policy over and above what thc
bank was To receive.
1t was s-urged on behalf Of sherman, the
administrators, that the oass could not
have been sattled but by his beginning
The court decided, however that Mr.
sherman should pay the costs out OF the
balance Of the estate in his hands
After tho hearing of another case and
before Mr. Iilliughast had left the court
Mr.. Owen in tehu'f OF MIR. Sherman
asked tho indulgence OF the chief justice
and his associates to hear him briefly on
"a point that suggested itself 10 him in
regard TO the costs. lie said that the
caso would never have cCm1 into court
but FOR the negligence of the bank in dc.
laying tho presentation Of proof iil its
ross. ssion and argued that the only thing
Mr. sherman could possibly do was to
let tho case be tried
IL was the opinion Of the members o
tho court that Mr.. Owens last point was
an import lnt one and the announcement
made that the matter would bo given
further consideration and the decision
announced later.

ARREST FOR ARSON At SOE0MA.

A MILLION DIFFERBN CE.,
Lick House a Bone of Conten-
ton to the Fair
People.
The Appraisers and Real Estate Men
Have Different 0pin-
ions.

When il comes to appraising the val
ues of big Jumps of property IN the bus
ness center OIL the town there is almost as
much difference among real estate men
as among octors when disease is to be
DIAGNOSED. The value of the Lick House
propertv is a bone of contention among
the appraisers OF the FAIR estate that has
set all Montgomery street a-talklng, anu
as many dIfferent opinions on the SUBJECT
nave been advanced as there are drinks Oh
t e kloGdike.
The three men who cannon agree ON
ciaIIy upon this item are Richard V. Dey,
G. l., Bresse and E. A. Lei b, who were
appointed by Judge Slack almost a year
ago to ascertain Just how much James u.
Fair left his children. NOW IL happened
that short time previous TO ms Qeath
the millionaire invested heavily In down
town business property, the LICK House
being one of his principal purchases. The
purchase prce was the trlhing sum OF
81, $50, 600 cash. Many other lots were
bought about the same time, out they
were small affairs compared with the
Montgomery-street hosiery, and although
the three appraisers have split to more
or less extent on the value OF all OF these
purchases, il is probab bic that their repoT
would have been made TO the court lonN
ago only for trif1Ing difference OF $3.50
600 in the worth of the Lick House. y
Pretty nearly every real estate oea4er
in the city has been called upon tor an
opinion, and it seems that the property
as money affair is somewhat OF con-
undrum to house and lot sharps in
general.
1t is understood that of the three ap-
praisers Leigh and Bresse are of the opin-
ION that the Lick House is worth all Fair
paid for it, if not more. Both are real
estate dealers, and of course 1t may be
that thew care to see no depreciation of
prices of property. Dey on the other
hand, it is said, does not believe the Lick
House is worth within $3.50, 900 of the
value Leigh and Bresse put upon 1t, and
thus it goes proportionately all along the
line. In fact, it is said that within the
last few days in adding up the various
items of the immense estate the three ap-
praisers are at variance to the extent OF
sum exceeding 81, 900. 600.
Next to the Palace Hotel the Lick
House covers more land than any business
building in the city.
