Germans Strength.

While there is much Cleveland talk about
the capital there is no lack of sentiment
favorable to Senator German of Maryland.
If German did not come from a dead sure
Democratic state. he would most undoubt-
eddy have the call over any other presiden-
tiai aspirant. My observation is that
Cleveland is still the strongest man in his
party, but stronger in the East and West
than in the South. The warning comes
from North Carolina and other states of the
South, where the Alliance is strongest. that
the members of that party have sworn
vengeance deep and everlasting against
Grover, and that if the Democrats nominate
him he will surely be knitted at the polls by
men who never voted aught but a Demo-
cratic ticket

Reduced.

Special to the Gazette.
New ORLEANS, La, Nov. 9-The negro
tenants of cotton planters in Mississippi,
Tennessee and Louisiana have proceeded to
make formal demand for reduction in

Meetings have already been held and COM
mirtees appointed to inform the landlords
OF their demands Most of the ne
groes work their lands on shares,
that is, give so much Of the produce, and as
cotton has fallen in price their rent las
been reduced, but those YDDspdy cash still
pay the samA rent, o11t is against this
they protest All waEa change made.

WON'T FIGHT TIE BOND ISSUE
Attorney o'Brien Says the City Will Hsvs
to Paw the Piper.


Attorney o'Brien Says the City viii Have
to Pay the Piper.
Attorney c. A. O'Brien, who made such
a strong fight against payment for the i'm
provement Of streets made under the acts
of 1887 and 1889, was asked yesterday if
there would be any opposition to the in
crease of the city's bonded Indebtedness
which is to be voted on by the people next
week.
81 can see no reason why any taxpayer
should oppose the ISSUE" was his reply,
''for the reason that, if the curative legisla-
tion is knocked out by the Supreme Court,
the taxpayers generally will have to pay
for the improvements. If the bond issue is
not made the contractors will have to be
paid by tax levy, which will fall heavily
when added to the regular tax levied to
or crate the city government. If the bonds
are issued, and the curative legislation is
declared unconstitutional, as we expect, the
bonds can be redeemed gradually, and tax
payers will scarcely feel the payments
necessary for their redemption.
81 think the people generally will vote for
the increase and the vote against it will be
trif1ing. Those who do not vote against it
will probably vote that way because they
believe the. contractors should be made
to stand the loss. We think the con-
tractors did not perform their work prop
erly and that the city should not have taken
the contracts off their hands. While there
might in some cases be ground for such a
complaint to vote against the increase of
debt would not remedy the matter and
can't see why it should be done. When the
city takes an improvement off the contract
ors' hands that makes the city liable and
the money must be paid whether the work
is done properly or not. Personally,
would like to see the bond issue carried.

AN UNEXPECTED TURN.

Mr. Alexander Writes That He VIII Not
Elliot May Insist Upon His Op-
tion.
w. ii. Alexander, owner of the tract of
land recommended by Chief Elliot to Coun-
ellis for Poor Farm site, yesterday wrote
to the Councilmanic Committee on Chari-
ties letter in which he withdraws his farm
from the market and declares that the op-
tion held upon it by Chief Elliot is perma-
nently declared off The Committee on
Charities was to have met yesterday after
noon to consider the Poor Farm matter, but
a quorum of the committee failed to re-
spond to the call and the letter was not
therefore opened. Mr.. Alexander was at
City Hall yesterday afternoon. He would
give no explanation of his determination to
withdraw his farm from the city, and said
his letter explains itself
Chief Elliot was also at City Hall dur
ing the afternoon. He had heard of Mr..
Aie1ander's letter, but he did not know its
contents. "I cannot talk on the subject
now," the Chief said, ''and will not say
anything until see Mr. Alexander's let
ter"
1t was reported last night that Chief
Elliot would not consent to the withdrawal
of the Alexander farm until after Councils
had acted upon the Chiefs recommenda-
tion. If the recommendation is accepted it
is said the Chief will insist upon Mr.. Alex
ander selling the farm, as the Chiefs option
on the property holds good until after final
action of Councils.

Monte Cristos in Solitary Confinement =
The seven men have not been placed in
the dungeon as is usual in such cases, but
consigned to solitary confinement, which is
just as much punishment to ones who have
been used to work outside for years Two
OF the mel" said Warden Wright, "were
doing eight years sentences both having
four years yet to remain. They are not
desperate men, nor are they known notori-
ously among criminal annals of the country.
For this reason 1 do not care
to give their names. The Board
OF Directors met last night, and after hear
ing the circumstances were perfectly
satisfied with my course. On Friday"
continued Warden Wright, my suspicious
that crooked work was going on, and that
someone was digging right under the guards
eyes, were satisfied. I walked into the
packing room, and just for q side
remark, said to couple Of the men: It's
too cold in here to work. isn't it?
have decided to assign you men to other
places. They said that it was not too cold
for Them; they were very comfortable.
Then it was I decided to take up every
board of that room if necessary in order to
circumvent any attempt to escape then in
progress"
A thorough examination of the work was
made by The DISPATCH reporter, and
diagram accompanies to explain location
and distances.
Three of the men confessed to the job last
night while THE DISPATCH reporter was
at the penitentiary, and Warden Wright
did not misjudge his men when he picked
out the seven now in solitary confinement.

KILLED ON A BRIDGE.
A Millworker Hurt by an Engine and Dies
From Loss Of Blood

A NIillworker Hurt by an Engine and Dies
From Loss OF Blood
Allen Williams, millworker about 80
years of of age, died at his home in Home
stead on Friday from injuries received on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on that
day. Squire Oeffner held partial inquest
yesterday afternoon and adjourned it until
tomorrow. 1t appears that he was walking
the trestle at Hays station on the Wheeling
division when train overlook him. He
was with man named Davis at the time,
who escaped across the bridge. Williams
fell and was probably stunned, as he did not
rise again, and the train passed over his
foot, but did not seem to iniure him
about the body. When he was removed
from beneath the train he was allowed
to lie at the station without medical atten-
tion for about three hours, when he was
placed in a wagon and hauled to his home.
There DR.. GLADDEN. attended him until he
died, little later, from loss of blood.
This latter evidence, however, could not
be determined on, owing to the absence of
proper witnesses, and for this reason the in.
quest was postponed.
Williams was married man and leaves a
wife and one child. He will be buried to-
day.
