HORSE FELL WHITTIER
Miss Pollard, of Forest Hill,
Thrown to Pavement,
But Unhurt.

Miss Stella Pollard, who resides near
Forest Hill Park, was thrown to the
pavement near the corner of Tenth and
Cary streets about $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon by the falling Of the horse
she was riding. Fortunately she escaped
injury, alghting in safety, apparently
none the worse for her, sudden and in
voluntary descent.
In making a short turn the horse
slipped and fell to the pavement, bringing
his mount with him. With rare alertness
the young lady cleared the PROSTATE
horse and landed in safety. She was up
in an instant, before those who witnessed
the accident could come to her assist
ance, and with rare pluck and spirit
canter
The horse was not SO fortunate, how
ever, and she had to forego her desire
for the reason that the animal had Sc
verely cut its left foreleg in the fall The
horse belonged to J. C. CheatWood, Nv
eryman.

HAMPTON VETERANS NOT
ALLOWED TO VOTE
Registrars Hold That Inmates of tn.
Soldiers Home Are Disqualified
Nearly 1000 Veterans.

HAMPTON, VA, September 2O.-(Spe-
cia1)-The registration of voters in Eliza
beth City county. which began last
Tuesday. will end during the coming
week. so far 1884 whites have regis
tered and 30 negroes have gotten on the
books.
It is thought that the colored vote will
not exceed 800. Heretofore the colored
vote has been 100, and as will be seen
the decrease under the new registration,
will be between 1900 and 1,4o0
The white registration will probably
number 1.50O. So far the decrease has
been very small in the registration of
the whites, only about seven having been
rejected. They were refusd because they
were inmates Of the National Soldiers
Home here. Heretofore the inmates OF
the home have been going TO their re-
spective homes to cast their ballots, and
the registrars still incline to the opinion
that they must continue to do So Were
the home inmates to be given the fran
chise. Elizabeth City county would un-
doubtcdly roll up large majority of Re-
publican votes. There are nearly 1000
inmates in the home at this time, the
majority of whom are Republicans.
