GOING ON RECORD. What Was Done in the Way of Regis- tration Yesterday. Voter Not Turning Out in Great Profusion, But Better Things Looked for To-day. Tbe opening- of the forty-six precincts of the City yesterday morning for the three days' registration was not attended with tbe inters expected. Tbe tide of resident anxious to register and rote did not flow in r-mmr as miffht be.

and there was contid- Cl KU a kav taken a deep interest in the matter. Tbe old ward veteran took tbe natter Tery lightly, however, and quietly advanced the opinion that the secood and third days of registration will surprise those who base their calculation upon tbe figure of tbe first day. They argued that Tery few are In a burry to register tbe first day, and yield to a natural tendency to procrastination until later in the siege. It is claimed that last year the third day brought tbe most people by a large ma jority. Unless there is a like improvement this year the registration will fall far below that of last.

That the figure of the last registration will raised this time can not be doubted, how-ewer, and the number of applicants to-morrow and next day will exceed that of today. At the in-town precincts of the middle wards a comparatively large number of business tn and clerks is noticeable. Far caere ef this class will register this year than did last. There is considerable talk about registration on Main street, and a general desire to register and vote is expressed on Tery side. There can be little doubt that jthe bosinees men will be better represented at tbe polls next month than they bave been heretofore.

Registration costs the city for three days aachyear about $2,100. This includes tbe pay of two Judge, a Sheriff and a Clerk for eectr precinct, each receiving 3 a day, rent and registration books. The members of the Citizens' League are taking an active interest in the matter of registration, and many of them are working bard drummine up recruits. The officers of the organization are especially busy. Though so successor for Mr.

Weissinger as the League candidate in tbe Eighth and Ninth wards has yet been chosen, toe organization bas representatives there looking after the registration, and promises to make a good showing. you registered I a reporter asked a usually well informed gentleman yesterday morning. "Mo," he answered; "I registered last year." "But do younotned to register again?" "Not unless I move out of tbe precinct," he said. It was not five minutes before that another man had asked if, having changed his reai- denoe in the meantime, be would be compelled to get a certificate from tbe ward in which bis registration was made last year before bis name could be entered in tbe books of his arcsent precinct, and was very much inclined- to doubt the reporter's assurance to the contrary. It seems that in despite of much speaking and writing about the matter, there are very many voters wbo never knew or, once knowing, have forgotten tbe simple terms of tbe registration law.

For their benefit it may be well to state again that the general registration in July of each year is tie novo, and consequently that every person wishing to vote next month must register at this registration. Even though be registered heretofore bemutnow register again. He does not need any because former registrations are not considered at all in this one. Tbe antumn registration is not a general one, but simply a means to prevent the loss of a vote in the city elections by reason of a change ot residence after July, and at i this only i the certificate required. Every, male person who will be over twenty-one yesr of age on tbe first Monday in August and who on that day will have resided sixty days iu his precinct and one year in the city, or sixty days in the precinot and two years elsewhere in the State, may register.

Even a foreigner not naturalized may be registered. The clerk will, write "nut naturalized' after the name, and he may procure bis papers any time before the election, ready to present them for inspection when he offers to vote. Tbe above may be relied upon a being trict accordance with the law. TBI REGISTRATION IX In but two or three wards is an increase over the registration ot the first day ef last year shown. In the others there is a general falling off, but it is expected that this will be made up to-day and to-morrow.

Tbe registration by wards and precincts yesterday is as follows: FIRST WARD. Tbe registration in the First ward was quite lively. The total was 355, which is considerably larger than that of last year. Tbe registration by precincts follows: first precinct 71 Second .....182 Third precinct 132 Fourth precinct. 50 Total 353 SEC05D WARD.

Following ia the registration by precincts yesterday: First precinct 114 Second i I4j Third I'M Total. 3o8 6EVEXTH WARD.

In tbe Seventh ward tbe registration was much lighter than on the first day last year, in no precinct reaching tbe same figures.

I In the Eighth ward the total registration yesterday was 2SS9 140 less than that of the first day of last year.

The average vote in tbe ward, is about 1,500. The registration by precincts yesterday was as follows. First 38 Ill A RAGING BULL 119 6 hi 493 ELEVENTH WARD. In the Eleventh ward tbe registering of vote was somewhat smaller than for tbe first day last year, This was largely due to the fact that many voters were under the impression that it was not necessary for them to register again this year. Below are tbe returns for each precinct: First precinct Secoud precinct Third precinct Fourth Kiftb precinct Sixth precinct 103 61 13M Total In this ward a number of the voting places have been changed from their old location.

Tbe Third is at Eighteenth and Market streets, instead of Fourteenth and Ureen, and tbe Sixth bas been moved from Seventeenth and Elisabeth streets to Fifteenth and Southgate. TWELFTH WARD. In tbe Twelfth ward tbe registering of names was also light, due to the same cause a that mentioned in tbe Eleventh. Below is tbe number of names given in each precinct: First precinct 41 Second precinct l-t Third precinct 133 Fourth precinct .115 Total A LEAGUE CIRCULAR. The Executive Committee of tbe Citizens' League prepared and issued last evening tbe foUowmg address, to which is subjoined part of a Courier Journal editorial of last Friday: "Headquarters Citizens' Liagcc: The Executive Committee of the Citizens' League earnestly request you if you have not registered to day to register at once, and that you give suck time as you can spare both Tuesday and Wednesday, July 7 and 8, in getting those who are interested in the League, candidates to register.

Many votes can be secured in this way, and it is hoped you will take an active interest in seeing that your friends register, so that they can vote on August 3. By order of the Executive Committee of the Citizens' League. "Sasuil L. Avkry, President." P. 8.

Please remember that having registered lat year is not sufficient. In order to vote August 3 it will be necessary to register either July 7 or 8." FIELD NOTES. Trihi are forty-six voting precincts in tbe city. Less than 500 colored men registered yes terday. The registration officers get an allowance of S3 per day.

The Legislative candidatea were busy getting their friends to register. Tbe Citizens' League had its best recruiting officers iu tbe field, stirring up the voters. Tax Citizens' League had small dodgers advising every one to register distributed on the principal streets. The Third precinct of the fiTenth ward showed a total of 21U registrations. It is tbe banner precinct of the city.

The registering place of the Second precinct of jtn Second ward is on Main near Clay, instead of Koselane and Shelby. The total average vote ot tbe city is Last November tbe total vote la tbe city for President was 17,491 out of a registration of for Congress loan, 154 less were cast. At the First precinct of the Nintn ward several voters called, but refused to were afraid tbey would be compelled to pay poll-tax, and could not be persuaded out ot tbe idea. Mr. Joboa.1 Giles, tbe League candidate for the Legislature in the Tenth ward, was making an active canvass yesterday.

Mike Scott is also bard at work, and tbe fight will be a lively one besween them. The fight between Jake fiickel and John Letterle ia tbe First ward Caused tbe activity in registration. The contest is a warm one. Letterle's chance are excellent, but there isa a harder elevuonoerer in Louisville than Jake. The light registration yesterday is attributable to several reasons, but principally to the erroneous idea that it could not be done except upon payment of poll tax.

Few, except property holders, do this, and the consequence is that a large number of voters are sacrificing tbeir suffrage under the idea that it will cause them to be bunted out and the tax collected. This is a mistake, as the poll tax bas nothing whatever to do with it. It is consoling to think that tbe most valuable class of voters are not lost this way. Another reason for tbe light number registered is the supposition that doing so last year sufficed. Knocks His Owner Senseless and Cleans Oat a Grocery Store Subdued By a Dog and Killed.

Late yesterday afternoon Mr. Charles Lorn an, wbo lives on Story avenue, went to the Bourbon Stock-yards to buy a bullock. Finally be selected a vigorous young animal which had been brought from Texas and was rather wild. Mr. Leman, however, anticipated no danger, and was confident of bis ability to lead the animal home.

He placed a rope around tbe bullock's neck and started homeward with him. After going a little distance quite tractably, the beast began to resist, and wbeu Mr. Leman pulled at the rope, made a sudden dart at him, with lowered bead, and knocked him senseless. When tbe animal found himself free, be rushed at every person in sight, butting with bis horns and endeavoring to trample the fugitives under his feet. After clearing the neighborhood, be ran in to, a greengrocer's store, sending the frightened clerks out by tbe back way.

The bullock was contented with bis new quarters, and would not move from the room, all efforts to draw bim out being fruitless. As a last resort, a large buil-dog belonging to the No. 10 sneine-bouse. was sent into the grocery. Alter several narrow escapes from the sharp horns of the beast, the dog finally seized biui by tbe nose and brought bim to bis knees, lie was then bound with rope and killed.

The affair created great excitement in the neighborhood, and drew quite a crowd to the spot. The goods in the store were thrown in every direction and considerably damaged. Mr. Lemaa was not much hurt, but would probably bave been killed bad not the attention of tbe fierce animal, after knocking bim down, been attracted by something else. Local: The corn prospects throughout tbe county were never more flattering.

Tbe wheat yield is generally put at 60 per cent, and upward. It is yet too 'early to figure on the tobacco crop. Tbe art crop ia splendid and the acreage is larger tnan usual much of the bad wheat land being plowed in with oats. Pasturage is now plentiful, splendid and the stock generally thriving. Altogether, our farmers are flourishing.

Hopkins ville Era: The wheat crop of this county will be harvested by tbe end of the week. It teems to be the opinion of the knowing one that there will not be a yield of more than thirty per cent. It is tbe common impression that there is a deficiency in quality as well as in quantity. The other crop are very promising, and we can safely give to tobacco a reckoning five per cent. greater than at this time last year.

George Simmons, wbo lives on Rosslane, between Clay and Hancock streets, was painfully burned inj the face yesterday while fooling with a bunch ef fir-crecksrs. THE COURIER-JOURNAL: LOUISVILLE, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1CC3. TWO SILLY GIRLS Sixteen-year-old Xew Albany Maidens IVho Try to Commit SuUiJe. One ia No Danger, But the Other Almost Sureto Die. Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock tbe West End of New Albany was thrown into great excitement by tbe attempt of two girls to commit suicide.

The girls are Martha Hatledge and Tracia Wright, both about IS years eld. They procured a quantity of laudanum, which was in tbe possession of Miss Wright. She placed the bottle containing it to her mouth and took a swallow of the drug, when Miss Hatledge snatcbed the bottle from her hand and swallowed tbe remainder of its contents. Mist Wright got but little of tbe poison, and was soon out of danger, but Mis llat- ledg swallowed so mucn that her recovery is almost impossible, though she is receiving the best medical attention. Both girls belong to respectable families, and both are young ladies ot excellent character.

The parents of Miss Hatledge. who are 'members of church, objected to their daughter going to a picmo where there was to be dancing, and this led her to tbe suicide. Miss Wright agreed to suicide with her. At the close of this report no hope is entertained of Miss Hatledge'l recovery. SEN The Ohio Falls Iron Works will resume operations Weduesday.

The Tendency of DlTorce Growing-Condemned by the Ministers How theL'Tll Should be Stopped.

Tb Lonisville Ministerial Association met yesterday at lO a. Sf. in the V. M.C.A. rooms with the smallest attendance of tbe year, only nine members being present.

After the devotional exercises aad reading of the minutes, the discussion of divorce was begun by Dr. Perkins, wbo said: It is almost an impossible thin, to condemn too strongly our statutes on divorce. Among many evils, tbe rights of helpless parties are impaired. Political economy Is as much against them as the Mew Testament. Our easy divorces almost amount to Monnonistn.

What constitutes a marriage Mora than mere cohabitation is required; more than even a license and the presence of witnesses are needed. Before we discuss lawful divorce let ni ascertain what is a lawful marriage. It the church can decide what is a proper divorce, it can say what is a rightful marriage, bt. Paul says: Wives, submit yeurselve to your husbands;" St. Paul describe a loving husband and wife, to such a couple di- voice is impossible.

Wa find many unions far different from St. Paul's description. They have only one element of marriage, and that is carnaL Tbe family relation by divine appointment is the foundation of society. The growing tendency of divorce mav well awaken our apprebeusfoos. Divorces statistics are startling.

Connecticut in 184U granted 1 divorce to every iS9 marriages, in 1878, 1 to 10; Vermont ia 18tK granted 1 to 23. in 1378, 1 to 14; Massachusetts in 1860, 1 to 61, in 1S78, 1 to 21: New Hainnsaire in I860. 1 to 31, la 1SS3, 1 te 10; Rhode Island in 1SB9, 1 to 14, in IbiU, 1 to 11: Maine in 1880, 1 to Ohio in 18oo, 1 to '26, in 1S82, 1 to 16. In ltitxi the ratio of divorces to marriages in Chicago and Louisville was 1 to To! Divorcee are doubling. Our own city is not one whit bebiud otuer cities.

Proceed- lnzs are often based on frauds. Forgeries occur in many papers. Publication ot notices are mere pretense. Collusions Among so-called opposing parties are frequent. Tbe celerity with wbieb eases are beard, fifteen minutes being tbe average time required to consider a divorce case, is astounding.

Tbe low. moral tone is very apparent, There were never more and purer households, but there are foul evils increasing which years ago were almost unknown. The increase of divorces brings ether evils. Hasty marriages, apparent increase in licentiousness, infanticide, small birth rate, displacement of tbe family by tb individual. What is our remedy I Some desire national legislation; others say State legislation.

We need more strict laws as to contracting marriage. Marriage is civil and religious. Tbe State should see to it that it is entered into witb due formality. Ho minister ia compelled to marry any applicant, and never should be marry divorced parties. The guilty parties in a divorce case will lie.

The party in a divorce case who commits adultery will lie. Our church, the Episcopal, forbids marrying divorced people, save those divorced for infidelity on the other side. bave often been deceived. The ground of divorce should be stated in tbe decree. We know that in our Saviour's day men got divorces for any caase, if he saw a woman be liked better, or if bis wife did nos cook to suit him, etc.

Let us agree on one fixed course of action. Dr. Hobo "What de you do witb First Corinthians, 7-151 "That is not altogether clear, I think that where parties are perfectly incompati ble they should bave a decree of separation, two such parties in my church applied for a divorce. 1 told them if tbey were divorced 1 could not receive them as members. Tbe lawyer wanted the case to go on.

I bad tueiu obtain a decree of separation; tbey learned wisdom, and are now living together. 1 beard it objected that in cases of separation tbe nusband obtained the property. Tbis can all be arranged in tbe decree. Dr. Manley said: I had intended to study tbe subject, but bad not time.

only loo at it in the scriptural spirit. There are four or five passages which, taken separately, might lead astray. The 24th chapter of Deuteronomy allows a divorce for any un-cleanness. Our Saviour, in Mark and Luke, seems to declare that divorce is not to be allowed at all. A man might put away bis wife, but neither could ever marry again.

Compare Mark x. witb Mark xix. both are accounts of the same event. It seems that for adultery man may put his wife away. Dr.

Hodge, in his theology, says this puts both parties on an equal footing as to remarrying. In First Corinthians, 15, tbe apostle says of mixed marriages that tbe Christian party is not to withdraw; they may separate for a season if one is a Christian and the other not. The believer must abide with the unbeliever. But if the unbelieving one determine to leave, the apostle says if he depart, 'let bin depart, the brother or sister is not under bondage in such Does be mean not under bondage to follow, or free to marry again, is unknown. Commentators are hopelessly divided.

Churches even divide on this. Many oon-Romish churches say adultery is the only cause. Calvinista and others say nersistent desertion is also a cause. I have thought that there were then two causes. Tbe Roman Catholio Church allows no divorce, not even for adultery, save by dispensation of the Pope.

This strictnoss is met by numerous cases in history. Where money was plentiful divorce were obtained. Again, another remedy, tbey bave sixteen cause for setting aside marriages, consanguinity, affinity, etc -Vet Catnolio countries have few divorces. I was never asked to marry a divorced party. 1 shall never marry such persons.

One point more, 1 have been asked and bave advised separation. A pure, good woman with an aged was separated from a drunken husband. 1 advised this and would do so again. Another case, a good, easy man bad a second wife, who was high tempered. It was impossible to live with bis daughters, so they separated.

Dr. Hobbs It seems to me the difficulties besetting this subject are so numerous that we ougnt to have ample time, to that in the eud we might reach a practical agreement. Let all ot our members I suggest that we continue tbe discussion. One thing we fail to remember. That is, that the law of Moses sprang out of the theocracy of that time.

We live in a different time. The reason Moses gave the law was for the hardness of their hearts. People's hearts are hard now as then. Dr. Perkins Was not Moses' law the highest law then, and is not now the Saviour's law higher? Dr.

Hobbs Moses gave tbis as a civil rather than a religious regulation. The Saviour said "it was not so from the beginning." We have no such legislation now as that of Moses. Moses yielded on the subject of divorce, contrary to the original law of marriage. Divorce was not to be Informal, as it came to be ia tba days ef the Saviour. Tb man was to give a bill of divorcement.

As a mass, people on the lower level do not recognize the legislation ot Jesus Christ. People on the higher level do acknowledge Jesus. We are all in a partnership. We must raise all to a higher plane. May we not, as factors in legislation, recognize the hardness of heart, make a concession, not as Christians, but as American citizens.

Ixsing sight of these points, our legislation has missed iu mark. The practice of divorce is exceedingly damaging, aad tbe tendency of Christians of tbe higher plane to act on tbe principles of tne lower plane is too manifest. I believe tbe Presbyterian Church is right: that there are two causes for divorce adultery and desertion. Tne fact that the Catholics, wbo do not allow divorces, permit. Dr.

Manley says, IS causes for setting aside marriage, indicates that some concession is necessary. Rev. S. S. Waltz: There bas been enough fpeech-making if wa want to have a practical deliverance that would be well.

Much bas bean recently said about conducting tbe Government on business principle proposition to wblcb the President Is fully committed, and i faithfully carrying out in his appointments. Waar beginning to realiza that a man's fitness is not in tbe direct ratio of bis capacity for stump-oratory and campaign claptrap. Had we mors sober, careful, conscientious business men in Congress, there would be more useful legislation oa questions of present and pressing moment, and less sentimental twaddle over dead and buried issues. What wa need is more solid work aad less talk and toddy. But how are we to accomplish this! By simply applying the above principle to all the elective offioes of the country electing only men who possess those indispensable qualifications of energy, circumspection, competency and character.

A capacity for humorous story-telling in a candidate ia not a capacity for pubiio duties. Wa should rather consider bow be has managed bis own affairs; if be has failed in them ha will be very apt to prove a failure in office. If his word is not good in business circles, his promise to hi constituent are not worthy of credit. Let bim be tried by his business and social record, and tbe verdict will, in every instance, tend to an elevation of tba public service, and purification of tbe political atmosphere that wiil stop the pestilential spread of those sporadic germs of the spoils system, which have gained each an aiarnung teot-noia in inu country.
