Gov. TILLMAN of South Carolina,
is a strong Alliance man, and was
elected by Alliance votes in spite OF
powerful opposition. Speaking oil
the sub-treasury absurdity, he says;
II do not believe if the Farm
ers' Alliance were polled in this State
one-half would support the sub
treasury scheme. My guide in MAX
ing up my opinion is to observe the
results in the Congressional districts
where, by vote, this has been tested
and I believe that the Alliance OF the
entire South would repudidate 1t:
Some leaders may foist it, but the
rank ana file-the thinking, reading
members utterly refuse the absurd
provisions of the scheme"

way out of the thing to let the SAL go"
A reporter saw MIR. Snowden, last
evening, and he said:
This thing is all dead wrong on me.

and then 1 took her out to Georgia

the hotel, and he was kicking about it
being dull in town, and he asked me il l
ever played cards. told him only

/ told him no. That night he again
asked me to play, and went to his
room and we played until about IL
o'clock, and then we went out to

to the Park, and came in about II
o'clock. He asked me II wanted to go

he wanted to go. The day before he
had told me about the money he had,
and 1 had told him not to take that
much to such places. Last night he
told me he had left the money at his
room, putting a twenty dollar gold
piece in a collar box, and the rest in his
trunk, and he added that he had not
locked his room door. We stayed at
the house until two o'clock, when he
left. l remained until three, and when
/ got to the hotel with the girl, in a
cab, the clerk stepped up and said that
didn't go. l told him that was all right;
that l just wanted to get vaise be-
longing to the girl, which was in my
room. Then the officer stopped me
and said he wanted TO see me

right, and he said there was charge
against me. I said hoped it was moth

charged me with taking 500. said 1t
wasn't so, but admitted that 1t looked
suspicious, for l was the only one he
had told about the money. 1t upset me
for time, and the girl gave up the
Sal. On the way up street the officer
proposed to me to go back to the hotel
and see If the thing couldn't be fixed
up, and we did so. To-day at Col. Ar
nett's office, Harper gave back the SAL
to me, and that's pretty good evidence
that he didn't think l took it,"

SEEKING LIGHT.
AN OHIO ILLUMINATING GAS MAN LOOKING
FOR POINTERS.
The Superintendent Of the Toledo, o., Illuminating
Gas Company in the City-An Interesting
Talk With the Register"

Mr.. c. R. Fraden, uperintendent Of
the Toledo Gas Light and Coke Com.
gany, was in the city yesterday, and re-
newed some acquaintance with local
people, made during the tour of the
Electric Light Commission. TIC REG
IsTER reporter, Mr.. Fraden said:-
81 have run down here to make some
investigations as to the operations of
your municipal light plant, as we are
gathering up statistics as to gas and its
manufacture In number OF cities. l
was surprised at the size of your town,
as it appears on the census statistics,
for your city covers very little space,
not occupying as much territory
as some Of the wards Of our town. Up
our way there is plenty OF land in sight,
as the Posey county, Ind, train-boy
told the inquiring passenger, and we
have as one of the consequences, a
somewhat sprawling city. We are an
ticipating some effort on the part of the
City Council to reduce the price of gas,
and are gathering up what statistics
we can to meet the fight when it comes.
We are charging SIPS per 1000 feet
for gas, and have hard work to make
expenses and 6 per cent. in addition,
as our investment in large, and coal
costs US SO. 40 per ton, against S1.40 here
in Wheeling, And your coal is better
than ours, too. The laws Of Ohio give
City Councils the power to regulate the
price Of gas TO consumers, from time to
time, and under this law, we have an
intimation that the Council is going TO
move on US, as soon as the hot weather
is over. Our streets are lighted by cleo
tricity, and we have not the big city
bills consequent upon street gas light
ing, to help us out. There is large de-
mand for electric lighting, by business
men and others, and our town is so laid
out that the business houses, as q rule,
are not deep, and there is little con-
sumption Of gas in the day time. As a
result, our output of gas is not as large
as your city works here in Wheeling.
When you add to this very heavy in
vestment in street mains, you will see
that any reduction will bear hard upon
us. You folks who live in compactly
built town have little idea Of the money
necessary to pipe a city built on fiat
land. We have about two miles Of
twenty inch pipe, about three miles OF
sixteen inch, four or five miles Of twelve
and ten inch, and about sixty miles of
smaller pipe, and it represents a good
deal Of money. We are not sure that the
reduction is coming, but we are taking
precautions.

The Electric Light Commits sson.

Information has been received at the

gineer John A. Seeley, c. S. Knight, OF
the Fort Wayne Electrical Company,
and a number of engine men, shafting
men, boiler makers, ETC., all interested
in the contract for the arc light plant,

and would be here Monday. Il meeting
of the Commission will likely be called
for Monday or Tuesday evenings, when
an exact understanding as TO the di-
mansions of the building, the exact To-
cation and size of machinery, etc, will
be arrived at, condition necessary to
the letting Of sub-contracts for the
work. The specifications VIII likely be
amended during the coming week and
contract signed up.

"INGRATITUDE."
An Eloquent Address at the Jewish Syna-
gogue Last Night.

Rev. DR.. Samuel HirSchburg delivered
an eloquent address last night, at the
Jewish Synagogue, on the subject OF
"Ingratitude." Rabbi HirSchburg has
Just graduated from the Hebrew Col
lege, in Cincinnati, and is Rabbi-elect
for Fort Wayne, Ind. He is just TWEEN
ty-one years of age, and is the youngest
Rabbi in the United States. Rev.
HirSchburg is not stranger in Wheel
ing, having been heard here about
three years ago, when he created such
a favorable impression, that the an
nouncement that he would deliver an
address last evening, served TO bring
together a large congregation in the
Synagogue. He is an eloquent and
instructive speaker, and handled his
theme in masterful manner.
The address dealt In general man
ner with the subject of ingratitude, but
more especially with the prosecutions
which Judaism has undergone at the
hands of church and state. One OF the
greatest dangers to the religion lay in
the modern Indifference and lethargy of
it's followers, and the speaker closed
with an earnest appeal for a return to
the former SteadfastneSs and devotion
to the cause.
