GETTING READY TO VOTE.
REGISTRATION BOOKS FOR 1898
OPEN THIS WEEK.

The Tax Collector VIII Be Ready
saturday to Take the Names of All
Who Want to VOte-List of the Re-
Eistered Voters For the Last Two
Years Under the New Law-This
Being Political Year n Heavy
Registration VIII BE Had-POIiti-
clans Getting Ready Early.
The registration books for the registra-
ton of voters in all state and county cleo
tons viii be opened Saturday morning,
Jan. 8, at O'Clock. Under the law the
registration books are now kept open
right along through the year, and voters
may be registered at any time up to with
in twenty days of an election.
The books would have been opened the
first of the year but for the fact that it
required some time to prepare the lists of
disqualified voters as required by law.
There are certain persons who are disqual-
flied for not having paid taxes and for
other reasons, and Capt MCGOWAN has the
names of almost all of these at hand now,
so that he can tell pretty well who is and
who is not qualified to be registered.
Under the law it is required that before
voter can be registered he must have
paid all taxes due the state and county, in
GLIDING property poll, professional and
specific taxes, except the taxes for the year
1893, since the adoption OF the constitution
of 1877. Registry Clerk J. G. Sullivan is
getting the registration books in shape
now, and at O'Clock Saturday morning
he will be ready to receive signatures from
those entitled to have their names go on
the book.
As this is a political year, the registra-
ton will undoubtedly be large one. 1t
may be interesting to know the number of
votes registered In 1896 and 1897, the two
years during which the present law has
been opera tive. a tabulated statement of
the registration by districts for these two
years, as prepared by Registry Clerk Sui
livan, is as follows:

UYON-ROCHE.
Welded in English Style ut st.
PauI's Episcopal Church.


One of the largest weddings that took
place last evening was that of Mr.. Thomas
Welton Lyon and Miss Mai Eleanor Roche.
Long before $50 o'clock, the
hour appointed for the ceremony, ST
Pauls Episcopal church was crowded with
guests who filled the pews and thronged
the side aisles, waiting with subdued ex-
pectancy for the advent of the bridal par
ty. During this interval Miss Gnosspel-
ius the organist, rendered some beautiful
selections.
Above the chancel steps tall palms were
gracefully arrayed, and behind these rose
three evergreen arches, shaped like Gothic
windows, through which were seen the
branches of other palms that marked a
path to the altar. Suspended from the
tall central arch was a white star of hy-
acinths outlined with delicate ferns, while
vases of pink roses placed upon the altar
made the only contrast to the white and
green of the decorations. The pillars were
twined with bamboo vine, part of the love
ly Christmas garb of ST. Paul's.
To the music of the march from Lohen-
grin the procession entered the church.
the ushers, Mr.. d. p. Roche and Mr.. W.
c. Lyon, Jr, and Mr.. G. H. Ellis and Mr.
T. c. Farr, leading the way.
Little Miss Edna Haupt, who, as maid
of honor preceded the bride, was attired
in an accordion-pleatedd dress of turquoi
blue silk, with wide lace collar and trim
ming of chiffon. picturesque white leg
horn hat with white plumes competed her
costume and she carried white gauze
fan. Miss Roche walked with the groom
Her becoming gown was of dark brown
cloth, finished with golden brown velvet
and jeWeled passementerie, with travelling
hat of felt trimmed with wings, while
her bouquet was of white carnations and
ferns losely tied with broad white satin
ribbons.
AT the chancel steps a pause was made
for the betrothal service, after which the
bride and groom proceeded to the altar
where the ceremony, conducted by Rev. J.
L. Seully. was completed. Then in Eng
lsh fashion the bridal party adjourned to
the vestry to sign the register before leay-
ing the church.
There was no reception, and Immediately
after the marriage was concluded the
young couple drove to the depot. from
which they left for Augusta and Charles
ton to be absent until Jan. 15 They will
then make their home al 1913 Henry street

Mrs. Lyon, who is the eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs P. c. Roche, is a young ladv
of charming manners, whose popularity as
is that of the groom, was attested by the
friends present at the wedding.

FELL FROM A MIXING BIN.
J. Coleman Evans Fatally Injured at
the Tybee FOrtificatiOns.

J. coleman Evans died at $50 O'Clock
vsst5rday afternoon at the Savannah Hos
pI.sl from the result of an accident at
Iya.e.
Tie young man was at work on
the government Qualifications when he re
.srJd the injuries. He was at the top of
"a CEMENT mixing bin, and is supposed to
have been struck by the handle of winch
used 10 haul cars up an incline No one
was with him, and it will probably never
be known just how the accident occurred.
Young Evans brother was working on a
st4aing some distance from the top of the
structure. He saw Coleman cross the top
of the bin and begin to come down. He
was unsteady and was acting queerly.
-taggering and leaning sidewise. All at
once he pitched over and fell to the ground,
distance of about twenty feet striking
on the back of his head and side ana
breaking his arm. He raised his head slow
v. and it was seen that he had been badly
injured Several people ran to him, and
a= he was lifted up the blood gushed from
his nose and mouth. He was then uncon-
seiods and never regained consciousness.
The blow from the winch, or whatever
struck him before he fell. crushed in the
lef. side of the head, but, strangely
enough, without breaking the skin.
telephone messages were at once sent
to The city for physicians. DR.. St J. b.
Graham and DR.. w. w. owens took the
tg w. f. McCauley, and arrived at the
scene of the accident some two hours af-
ter it occurred. They had the young man
put aboard the tug and started back for
the city.
Arriving here, they had him removed to
the hospital. He was there given every
attention, but medical skill was of no
avail. The doctors, from the first. recog-
rized that the chances for recovery
were but slight, and his death was no sur
prise to them.
The peculiar part about the accident
was that it was seen by no one and there
is no certainty about the manner in which
the young man met his death. His broth
ar saw him fall and strike on the back of
his head. The fracture was not upon the
side upon which he had fallen, thus max
ing it appear that he had been struck by
something before falling.
Young Evans was greatly liked by his
associates He was the son of Assistant
Light House Keeper j. S. Evans of Tybee.
and was only about IS years of age His
funeral will take place from Christ church
Sunday school room at 1880 o'clock to-day.

The OhiOan Unable to Stand Up
Against the New Orleans Nou.

Jack Williams of New Orleans and Jim
Smith of Cincinnati entered the ring for a.
twenty-five round setto at Turner hall last
night In fact they were to fight to fin
ish, but at the end of The eighth round.
Referee Counihan decided the men were
unevenly matched and called the fight in
favor Of Williams. Smith has the strength.
but was lacking in both wind and science
as compared with Williams. The bout was
not called until both men had done con-
siderable tall fighting.
Williams was called out by Kid Hill at
the close and challenged to fight twenty
five rounds. The challenge was accented
and date will be arranged later
Tom Corcoran, a local lightweight Of
some reputation and j. S. Melvin a
heavyweight went in for four rounds and
were warming uD when the match was
called. Both showed skill and Corcoran
did exceptionally well in view of the fact
all odds were against him. His opponent
mad the advantage of being long winded.
though Corcoran was the swifter of the
two.

The fact that this is a political year may
make this table interesting, also to some
of the politicians. who are seeking it for
reference. The political checkerboard is
going TO be brought into pay at an early
date, and il is likely that the politicians
will soon go to work on the registration.
1t Will be seen by a comparison of the
figures that the registration in 1897 was but
little more than half what il was in 1895,
this being accounted for by the fact that
1897 was an off year, and there was no
voting to be done. The percentage of the
colored vote, however, was kept up well,
and they were on hand all right, provided
anything had turned up.
The voters who regis tered in 1897 viii, as
rule, have less trouble I'm registering this
year than those who did not for the rea-
son that their registration last year is
prima facie evidence, upon the presenta-
ton of receipts for taxes for 1897, of the
payment of all taxes required preliminary
10 becoming q voter. None who are en-
titled to register, however, will find much
difficulty in getting their names on the
books.
1t will be some months before the serv-
ices of the registration commission are
needed, for the law does not require any
purging of the lists unit, June or July
It is probable that new registration COM
missioners for purging the lists will be APP
pointed by the commission.
This years political fights will no doubt
be as long drawn out and severe, if not
more SO, than those of 1896 and for this
reason as fully as large a registration is
looked for as was had in that year. On
account of the warm poliica, feeling, it
would not be surprising to see the number
registered even larger
Capt. McGowan's office will be open for
the registration of voters every day from
Q until o'clock, beginning Saturday
morning.

Not said by the Rector.

In notice few days ago of the funeral
Of the late Christian NJ. Hoist was a refer
enee to some eulogistic remarks attributed
to Rev. Robb White. Il is not a custom
in the Episcopal church to deliver eulogies.
and the remarks, instead Of being made
by Dr. White, referred generally TO the
life and character of the deceased, and the
esteem in which he was held.
