white electors, who applied for regis
tration under the grandfather clause
1t was Mr. Simpson whom State Chair
man Simmons singled out for special
communication in which the Democratic
Senator took the position that the negro
preacher had been treated with a harsh
ness contemplated by neither the spirit
nor the letter of the exclusion provision
of the election law. AS sonle registrars
turned deaf ears to their State chair
mans injunction it is not believed that
he will this time come to their rescue
as was the case before. whea the Leg
islature appropriated funds for the de-
fense of the registrars before the indict-
ments against them were quashed. and
when different conditions prevailed. This
belief has encouraged the court officers
in their contemplated step.
JUDGE BOYD TO BRING THE MATTER
UP IN COURT.
Judge Boyd, will, it is understood,
charge the grand jury in terms similar
to his utterances before the jury at the
Statesville court before the election, when
he cautioned election officers against an
arbitrary construction of the law, and
defined the privileges of those seeking
the right of suffrage. Judge Boyd is ex-
pected to tell the jury that the State and
Federal Constitutions can only be upheld
by a fair and impartial Interpretation of
the law. and that when registrar ar
bitrarily supersedes and abuses his au-
thorty he should be punished. And not
the least element of interest in this pro-
posed proceeding is that the registrars
will stand charged with a penitentiary
offense.
1t is not known yet just how many
officers are marked for indictment, but
it is not likely that there will be more
than a score of defendants summoned
at the first term.
so GOO NEGROES MAY BE ALLOWED
TO VOTE.
At moments reflection it is appar-
ent that such a procedure on the part
of the United States district attorney
may be attended by consequences of the
greatest political import. Should the law
be allowed to take it's course, backed by
an approving public sentiment, it will
mean that something like 10000 black
men will, at the next election, or GER
tainly at the election following, exer-
else the right of franchise under the
State constitution amendment A Re-
publican of State prominence has ex
pressed the opinion that such course
will throw the State into the Republican
column, as the negroes would, out of
feeling of gratitude for their second po
litical emancipation, vote the Republican
ticket. This, in turn. would send Senator
Pritchard back to the Senate. a Rossi-
bility that will always be to the Sena-
tor a cherished dream, in which pros
spective judicial appointments will lose
their attractiveness.
But of course all this is merely deal
in in futures, the interesting, not to say,
sensational, fact for immediate consid-
Grafton being that once more the Demo-
cratic registrars are to be indicted in
the Federal court. w. A. H.

District Attorney Hoiton Says Number
OF Registrars VIII be Indicted.

CT REGISTRARS VIII De lndlCted.
District Attorney Holton was seen
yesterday by an Observer reporter and
questioned as to the communication from
the papers Washington correspondent.
Yes, ten or twelve registrars will
probably be indicted said the district
attorney. There may be others, don't
know how many. l am, of course, only
doing my duty in the matter and | shall
take action only where the law has been
clearly violated. In this prosecution
am not Republican or politician;
am only the district attorney, who is
determined to do his duty.
'sThc specific charge against the reg
istrars is that they denied the right of
voting to negroes who were entitled to
vote-who were school teachers, holding
a county certificate, and preachers who
could qualify under the educational
clause
The Observer reporter ascertained
that three subpoenas were issued yester-
day against John w. Simpson, a regis
trar of Rutherfordton county, and f. 3.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Animated Shaking Out of Speculative

Animated Shaking Out of Speculative | Accounts.
 | New York, June 19-There was quite
 an animated shaking out of speculative accounts in to-days stock market and sharp reaction from the recent pro- longed advance. It became evident soon after the opening this morning that the real continuation of the rise had occurred yesterday. Advantage was taken of the stimulating influence of yesterdays excited rise in Illinois Gen. tral to take profits. There were some operators this morning that seemed to represent continued efforts to advance
 the market, but effective support was
 lacking. The professional traders de-
 tected sales to take profits, turned ag-
 excessively to the bear side and sold the
 list throughout with great freedom
 Prices gave way readily and fell on an
 average from 1 to 2 points below last
 nights level. The market closed dull
 and irregular.
 The whole movement was technical.
 and was as little affected by news of the day as the previous advance has been. The activity of the bears was evident in the circulation of alarmist rumors afterwards denied. One of these was that J. P. Morgan was seri- ously ill Another was that fresh jul dicial decision had been rendered against the United States Steel bond issue Active selling of United States Steel developed under the influence of these rumors and carried that stock down 15s below last night. There was no unfavorable news to-day which has not been under discussion for some time past. But in the changed senti- ment of the speculation additional con- sideration is given to the national con- vention of coal miners and the effort to bring about a general strike. The too abundant rains where wheat harvesting is in progress and the continued drought in Texas also received more attention than hitherto.
 Sterling exchange was still firm here and declined in Paris, both movements tending to increase the pressure upon New York for gold. New bond issues which are being advertised indicate large requirements upon the supply of credits in addition to the demands for the coming semi-annual settlement. In- dividual causes aggravated the weak ness of some special stocks. Doubts were expressed over the maintenance of the present dividend rate on Colo rado Fuel Minor incidents of the day were declines of 10 points in Interna tional Power, in Rutland preferred and 4ts each in Ice preferred and in Brooklyn Union Gas,
 Bonds were weak in sympathy with stocks. The total sales, par value ag gregated s. 110,000
 United States bonds were unchanged | on the last call.

COMING EVENTS.

At the New Haven Coliseum Next Tuesday Night.
 Champion Frank Kramer does not like to ride in long races and it is doubt full today if the blonde Jersey crack will compete in the big Vendome stakes, a ten mile pro" race, which is to be the feature of next Tuesday nights racing at the New Haven Coliseum.
 Kramer has riden in three middle distance sprints this spring and has won two of them. Two of these races were at twenty-five miles and the other at ten miles. One of the longer races was ridden in this city and Kramer finish ed second in the race, a few inches ahead of George Collett who was badly interfered with in the back stretch, on the last lap Last Sunday at Vailsburg Kramer rode in the ten mile race refer red to and finished twenty-five seconds ahead of the best previous worlds rec ord. Collett fought him tooth and nail" down the stretch and Kramer only 'tnosed in.'' q
 Collett has entered for next weeks star event and so has Hadfield, who won the long race, which Kramer finish ed second in
 The local flyer is confident he has a good chance of defeating the champion in a long race on the home track and is very anxious to learn of the Jersey- mans plans for the evening. If Col lett defeats Kramer he will be accom- plishine more than any other rider has done lately, and that will undoubtedly prove very satisfactory to George and his friends.

A PLEASANT TIME AT NEW CA
 MAN


 l The members of Fairfield county s | Pomona held q regular meeting at New 1 Canaan on Wednesday, June II, and the 1 day dawned auspiciously for the pat rons who gathered in large numbers | from many parts of the county Busi- ness and the instructing of class of twenty-four, occupied the morning ses- sion, and after bountiful repast at the hands of the New Canaan sisters the afternoon opened with an interesting programme which was well carried out by the worthy lecturer, John D, Holmes of Stratford An opening song was given by the grange, and followed by an able essay from the pen of Mrs. G. L. Bertine of New Canaan grange, on "FraternaI Friendship" A pleasing piano solo by Miss Mae W. Seeley Of Easton and then a most interesting pa per was read by R. M. Curtis of Strat- ford on the Development of the Fruit Industry. in the Last Fifty Years" Mr. Curtis enunciated his belief in the vir- tue of fruit and the figures quoted would certainly prove the increasing popularity of Fruit diet.
 A vocal solo by Ira Woundy of New Canaan, "The Skipper of the Isle" was much enjoyed; also the recitation by Miss Berule of Norfeld. "The Storm" well rendered piano solo by Miss Schailler of New Canaan, preceded the vocal solo of H. w Sniffen of Stratford, who was obliged to respond to a double encore. MT. Sniffen is an artist of no mean ability, and the merriment induc- ed by his manifestations gave way only when the worthy state master, B. c. Patterson of Torrington, was called on for an address, which he gave in his usual feicitious and earnest manner. Following this came few words from Mrs Martha Ewell-Lewis of New Ha- ven on "The Matron's Exchange Work" After the excusing of friends from the open meeting the grange again, with Master Rev. J. H. Hoyt presiding came to order for the closing of most inter- estng and profitable session.
 Fairfield county Pomona has com- petent corps of officers, who earnestly work for the best good of the patrons, and since no body of persons can do good work without benefiting others, the denizens of the county must feel the radiating influence for good which this order promotes, and the entire state work of the Patrons of Husbandry or der is work which tells, stamping the seal of it's faith in God, and love for man wherever it's power is felt.
