Unfortunate Opening of the Pimlico
Race Meeting Farr Watson, of
Philadelphia, who was thrown and seriously
injured in a steeplechase at Pimlico. on Tues
day afternoon, died at hospital in Baltimore,
on Wednesday morning. After the fall he
never regained consciousness Miss Watson,
his sister, arrived at the hospital shortly after
midnight and remained at his bedside until he
died. The body was shipped to Chestnut Hill,
Pa. The accident caused deep regret to the
officials of the Maryland Steeplechase Asso

skull was completely crushed, and that it was
unnecessary for an operation; Mr.. Watson
was we'll known in Philadelphia, having been
a prominent member of the hunting set. He
had ridden many winning races at the club
meetings in the Philadelphia, New York, Bal
timore and Boston districts. He was % years
of age and unmarried. For several years he
had been managing the stock farm owned by
Mr. R. g. Fell of Newton Square, near Phila-
delphia. In his races Mr. Watson was un-
lucky in the way of getting hurt often. He

Chestnut Hill, and was always interested in
sports and horses. His father, now dead, was
man of large means.

Hearing Registration Cases.-Judge
Burke was engaged on Wednesday in hear
Ing number of cases in which the names of
voters had been stricken from the registration
books for various causes. alleged, and who
sought to have them restored. The court Or
dered the following names to be replaced on
the books: Thomas Hughes, Sd district ;
John Fowble, 9Th district Charles d. Halle,
10th district Samuel NJ. Rankin, E. A. Cor
such, Park Wilson and Charles A. Benson,
18th district; Joseph Nuedling 18th district /;
Fred Miller, 18th district.
The petitions of Rev. L. E. Bennett, Wesley
A. Royston and G. A. Burke were dismissed.
Rev. Mr. Bennett is pastor of the NJ. E.
Church at Orangeville, 14th district. He said
he had lived at Roland Park, where he was
pastor of the Methodist Church four years,
and was registered there and had expected to
vote there. He said an unmarried minister OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church had no per-
manent home. His present work, he said,
was partly in the 18th and partly in the l4th
district, and he could make his temporary
home il either. A minister in his church is
appointed for only one year and is likely to be
changed by the Bishop at any time.
His name had been stricken from the list of
voters on October 9th on the oath of Perry
Knight, an employee of the engine house at
Roland Park. who had said that he had been
away from the district six months. He claim
ed that he ought to be allowed to vote where

second precinct of the 9th district, until he
had acquired a residence of the same perma-
nency elsewhere. He had been a qualified
voter for eight years, and he certainly bad
right to vote somewhere and should not be
disfranchised.
The motive for denying him his rights, Mr..
Bennett said, was verv evident. Judge Burke
told him that he had perfect right to register
in the 18th district but unfortunately he did
not avail himself of his right by registering.
The petition therefore, would have to be re-
fused.
Mr. Wesley A. Royston, of the 10th district,
said the line between the 8th and 10th districts
runs through his farm. He recently moved
from one dwelling upon his place to another
and found himself in the 9th district. He
had always voted in the 10th district.

legal age. The applicant swore that he was
born November 7th. 1S79,iand the officers of
registration were of the opinion that as elec-
ton day Ibis year falls on November 9Th was
not entitled to vote. Judge Burke decided
that he will have completed his twenty first
year on November 9Th and is therefore enti-
tied to be registered, and that it would be
drawing the lines too fine to consider the hour
of the applicants birth.

of weather has caused great many people to
contract severe colds.
Farmers through this section, instead of

Mrs Della Kelbaugh, widow of Thomas
Kelbaugh, will shortly sell the personal prop

Chestnuts are very plentiful and the small
boy has large quantity stored away for winter.
One more week and we will know whether
we are to have the gold standard or free silver.
Apples will be very scarce the coming winter
as they are rottening rapidly. This is attribu-
ted to the very dry summer. N.

The Republican meeting at Cockeysville on
Monday night was well attended and very In
structive Capt. H. Clay NALL set forth the
issues of the campaign intelligently, as did
also Mr.. John s. Ensor, Mr.. A. A. Blakeney,
candidate for Congress. and Mr.. VIM ID;
Bayne, of Baltimore. The band played and
"My Country, IT'S of Thee" was sung.
The meeting at Phoenix Tuesday night was
one of unusual interest and pleasure. Mr.. VS.
l.. Boyer, by request. presided, and as he is
vocalist and loves to be with the young people,
assisted them in singing the inspiring campaign
songs which were enjoyed greatly. Old and
young, male and female, were quite enthusi-
astic over the event. Prof. James l.. Bur
goyne, of Towson, did good service as leader
of the band and appreciated the excellent ad-
dresses by Messrs. George r. Gather, John G.
Rose, A. A. Blakeney and A. Young, who spoke
of the advantages of the Republican admins
tratiQn and futnre benefits. to be derived there
The San of Wednesday would have its read
ers. if possible believe compulsion on the
part of the manager is what brought out
large body of voters and residents Of the village
at the above meeting. Mr.. Boyer, who is
greatly respected by the villagers, was glad to
see the appreciation of the excellent addresses,
and is not inclined to drive the people under
him. The Sun should have given its space to
something more valuable than it did in this
instance. 1t may be its columns of political
news are prepared only for antagonism to Mr..
Mckinley, judging from the report of what
occurred at Phoenix. 1t surely shows its po-
litical weakness and prejudice in this case.
Has the San come to this?

Greenwood, 18th District.-This being the
first week for rabbit hunters the report of guns
can be heard in almost every direction and the
poor little Dummies will have to flee to their
hiding places and stay there if they don't
want to become the prey of some hungry
huntsman.
While engaged in husking corn last week a
young Democrat waved his handkerchief and
shouted "huIrah for Bryan" at an old Repub-
lican some distance away. Being little hard
of hearing the old gentleman replied, ''yes,
yes, lost it yesterday" and walked up and
took the handkerchief. The young man
quietly gave up bis property and didn't have
another word to say.

Quite large acreage of wheat has been
sown in this section, but the air is full of
"Hessian fies'' (cecydonayia destractor,) and the
prospective yield is uncertain. A gentleman
who Travelled through York county, Pa, few
days ago informed me that many fields in
that county appear to be almost entirely des-
troyed by the ravages of the fly.
Corn-husking is about completed and al
though the yield is much below the general
average, on account of the unusually dry
weather. it is much better than many ex-
pected it would be.
The buckwheat crop was almost failure
and buckwheat cakes will be eaten as a luxury

ceding instead of advancing toward the
dollar.
