aped! ve wards, pursuant to Instruc
tion from the general . meellnx at
the Y. M. O. A. Friday night. It ia
learned that oaly fair success la be
ing met with. It ia pointed out, how
ever, that it will be an easy matter
to secure the necessary number of
name aa thawnertatratioa la tbe laat
election waa very light and only one
third of that number la required.
No registration waa required for the
primary, which virtually decided the
race for municipal honor and conae
qaently few people took the trouble to
register for the ge natal election which
waa a mere matter of form. A conraas
of tha registration books yeaterday dis
closed that out of a rote of 3,086 in th.
laat primary for mayor only 1,348
registered for the election, consequent
ly only a third of that number will be
required to sign the petition for call
ing an election on the liquor question.
The committee, ho wever.wlll be handi
capped because of the fact that no
voter whose name ia not on the laat
registration books is eligible to sign
the petition. Tbe registration by

Thla Moralsr AtiaUsst of tbe
Police Serreaat.
Bealdea organixation for the term,
very little progress was made In the
Superior Court yeaterday and at 5
o'clock a receaa waa taken until 9:30
A. M. to-day. Early in the afternoon
tbe frand jury came Into court in a
body and returned a true bill for mur
der axajnat 8.. Hill .Terry, who two
weekaago ahot and almost instantly
killed bta aoa-ln-law, George T. Bland,
la the latter'a yard In Brooklyn. Judge
Brown, who la presiding, ordered that
the sheriff bring Terry Into court first
thinx this mornlnx for. formal ar
raignment. It Is hardly probable,
however, that the case will be reached
tbia term, thouxh Solicitor Daffy may
ask an immediate hearing. Messrs.
Bellamy fc Bellamy and Russell fc
Gdre appear for the defendant and
will likely fight to the laat ditch,
should tbe aolldtor preea for trial.
Falling In a motion for continuance,
it is understood that an effort would
be made to remove the case to an
other county on account of local
prejudice. No assistance to the solici
tor had been employed for the prose
cution ao far aa could be learned yes
terday. Tbe court convened at 9:80 A. M.,
yesterday, Judge Geo. H. Brown, Jr.,
of Washington, presiding - and all
other court officers In attendance. The
sheriff returned the jurors ordered
summoned for the first week of the
term except Jno. T. Sholar, F. W.
Kerchner and T. EL Lewis, who were
not found. The following grand jary
waa drawn and Mr. Jamea F. Poet waa
made foreman, via: M .O'Brien.iE. H.

Judxe Brown's charge having been
completed the trial of cases waa enter

of daring the day were thoae ofWaller
J. Lucas, tbe desperate younx nexra
criminal who xave Police Serxeant C.
8. Burnett each a atrenuoua fight for
his life In an isolated negro quarter of
the city a few weeka ago. Tbe eaae ia
remembered well by readers of the city
papers. He waa represented by Messrs.
Herbert McClammy and Brooke G.
Emple and having been found guilty
of reslstlnx the officer waa aentenced to
three months on the county roads.
Upon the charge of having anatched a
watch from Mr. N. M. Hunt
he waa given 13 months. His
conviction In the latter eaae
havinx been first, Judge Brown was
disposed to suspend judgment In the
case for reslstlnx tbe officer, but So
licitor Duffy referred to the xrowinx
practice of certain negroea to show
absolutely no respect for the law or
officers and Lucaa waa given the three
months. Bobert Bplcer, tbe negro
Charged wltb-aldinx Lucaa In hia re
sistance to the officer, waa found not
guilty and discharged.
Joaeph Moare, charged with aasault
with a deadly weapon, waived bill,
submitted and waa aentenced to 60
daya on the roada.
Ella Henry, tbe colored woman who
waa fined $10 and coat In th. Mayor'
court aome time ago and appealed,
withdrew the appeal, havinx paid the
fla. and coat to the dty authorities.
Bhe waa also required to pay Superior
Court coat In the appeal out of cash
bond deposited.
Th. laat case before a recess forth,
day waa that of Charles Dunstonvthe
colored painter who waa arrested by
Justice Bornemann and Policemen
Gray and Wella aome time ago and
upon whose peraon a pistol was found.
Court took a receaa while the jury was
out and the clerk shortly thereafter re
