he resumed his sitting in the Court
House yesterday afternoon.
She name of Edward Brown was
questioned by the Republicans as be-
Ing illegally registered because no such
man could be found at the address
gwen in the books of registration. No.
'15 West Third street. When the case
was called the Democratic ATTORNEYS
disclaimed knowledge OF the man. and
when Browns name was called by
Judge Spruance there was no answer.
Brown was registered in the Twen-
tieth election district OF the Fourth
representative district. on October %.
Assistant Registrar Clement b. Halla,n
filed a petition with the court that
Browns name be stricken of because
Of nOn-residence. Mr. Hallam swore
that he visited the house No 7i5 West
Third street. on Thursday night last.
and was told Brown did not live there.
Police Officer John Winthrup swo.e
that he had inquired for Brown at the
house, and received the same answer
from the occupants as Mr.. Hallam.
Judge Spruance ordered the name
stricken from the lists.
By consent OF Democratic counsel the
appeals against George w. Clark. Ma
thaniel Hill and John Smith were dis
missed. The appellants consented to
the dismissal because the disqualified
tions have taken place since the men
were registered.
The name Of Rosario Delcose was or
dered placed on the lists OF Pencader
hundred. He was refused registration
by Registrar Edward O'RUurlre because
he had no naturalization papers Del

clerk or the court in Cecil county that
Delcose had been naturallzed was ac-
cepted by the Democratic attorneys.
The name Of David J. Herman was
ordered to remain on the lists Of Reg
istrar Purnal Lynch, Of Middletown
In this case a motion was made before
the court by Mr. Relnhardt to have the

moved temporarily to Chesapeake City

a tenant house of J. Frank Eliason. at
Mount Pleasant While i'm Chesapeake

father-in-law, and his household goods
were not unpacked. He declared that
he had no intention OF removing to
Maryland temporarily, but had made
up his mind to obtain a house in Della
ware at his first opportunity.
A motion to strike off the name Of
Charles r. Phillips was withdrawn by
Mr.. Joslyn.
