There are signs of excitement in Mich

declaration that he intends to retire
from politics, when his term of office
expires, Jan. 1, 1901. He is quoted as
saying that he has given all the time
that can be expected to the people, has
done his utmost to benefit them, but
has been baked everywhere, and there
is no use in trying to do more. In
sore disappointment, he will devote the
the remainder of his life to his private
affairs. And yet, when the political
fight wakes hottest one need not be
surprised to hear him shouting as of
yore.

ter in 1t.

The registrars of voters did a lana
office business last night.
A steady stream of men whose names
failed to apepar on the lists as posted
crowded the office of the registrars
from until o'clock. During the noon
session % names We're added to the
lists, and in the evening 81 additional
came in, swelling the total registration
for the day to 112.
The corridors of city hall fairly
thronged with men throughout the
evening Many thought it was the last
opportunity for registration, and this
idea may have accounted for the rush.
Nor was the rush confined to the reg
istrars alone. The assessors kept open
house, and added 80 poll tax payers TO
the list. Ward politicians were out N
force and kept things hustlingE The
delegation from ward 4 was especially
noticeable. John f. H. Mellen mar
shaded a small army at Vernon square
early in the evening, and until the doors
of the registrars office closed did the
son of his father desist in his labors.
Ward men as well were out in force,
and before the session closed II men
had gone through the form of registra-
ton. Men favorable to the candidacy
of Charles B. Dunkerton for represent
alive did most of the work, and their
claim is that the entire number may be
placed in the Dunkerton column, with
more to come.
The registrars will be in session Sept.

night keeps up there will be few I'M

The city council committee on sewer
assessments gave hearings last night
on petitions from several persons for
abatement of sewer assessments. Those
heard were Harriet NJ. and Henry Put
nam. Patrick J. Murphy, Richard II.
Mooney and Benjamin A. Barber, agent
for Ida L. Burtis and others.
Mr.. Mooney asked for an entire
abatement of assessment against his
estate on Henrietta street, basing his
petition entirely on a question of law.
His claim is that the city went into the
street merely to improve the sanitary
condition Of one house. He asks an
abatement because he did not petition
or ask for sewer drains in the street
that the sewer is of no value or use &c
his estate, as there are no buildings
owned by him abutting on the street
and that Henrietta street is not a pub
lie thOroughfare.
Mr.. Mooney says he is willing to stanc
by the decision of the city solicitor il
the matter, but fails to see where he is
benefited or why he should pay the as
SeSSment.
