Edward Murphy, iris, Statement.
1t is quite useless to ignore the sig
~nificance of the Statement made at
Chicago by Edward Murphy, Jr., of
Troy, in reference to the nomination
of President Cleveland. 1t is, as
plainly as English can say it, a declar-
alton that the Hill machine will rebel
against the National Democracy in
case Mr.. Cleveland is made the candi-
date of the party.
OF course, it is doubtful under these
circumstances whether Mr.. Cleveland
could carry the State of New York. If
that is doubtful, it is a question
whether the party ought not to pass
over Mr.. Cleveland and nominate
somebody else.
That somebody should not be David
B. Hill. That gentleman is made by
Mr.. Murphy, the Blaine of the Dem
ocracy, the rule or ruin boss of a des-
perate gang.
Let us, if we must, have a good
Western candidate, Gray, Campbell
or Boies, with Albeit. Pattison or
Russell for Vice President. Cleveland
will still be available in 1896. when
Hill and his gang will be dead.

The regular attendance of this hotel
is at present-during the hot summer
months-about $50 per night. In winter
this number Increases to between 400
and 500, which latter figure just about
describes the full capacity of the hotel.
This, of course. does not mean that
there ale that number of bedrooms in
the house. 1t means the number of
beds. The rooms number eighty-four
which would give an average of six
beds to each room. This, however, Is
with difference. There is sliding
scale of prices here. The maximum
figure that any guest may pay here for
lodging and attendant conveniences is
% cents. That gives him the choicest
accommodations to be had there-the
half or third of a medium-siZed
room which he can lock and where he
may enjoy a certain amount of privacy.
AS to the bed and bedding that is not a
whit different in his case from what it
is for the man who pays his modest
dime, or Is or 20 cents. The dime beds
are located on the top story, but they
are just as clean and soft and whole
some as those of the 25-cent arlstocrat.
Rooms may be hired, too. by the week,
at the rate of 81 or S1.25 per week.
Speaking, however, OF the lower
tariff, of the 10 or 15-cent beds, they are
arranged as. rule, as on board of
vessel, cabin fashion, one bedstead
being securely fastened over the other.
These bedSteadS, of course. are Of iron,
and the legs are so high that there is no
danger Of the man in the lower berth
tanning his head against the higher
berth, or of the upper berth man knock
ing his occiput against the ceiling.
On the bedstead are an elastic wire
spring of good quality, a comfortable
mattress on top of that, a good pillow
and sufficient covering of medium quail
ity. This, then, is the bed which is Sc
cured by the expenditure of dime
night. But in this price is included all
the usual hotel facilities, as use of bath
room, of the laundry, of the sitting
room and of the other attachments
needful for the cleaning of the body
and clothes. The bathrooms are sup
piled with hot and cold water, and the
laundry has modern appliances, en-
aiding a man to wash and dry his shirt
inside of twenty-six minutes. To
however. in the distribution Of
these privileges, the key to each
bathroom and the laundry must
always be asked for at the Office. AS
for the baggage, that is checked and
kept at the office, a large storeroom
being there for the purpose. Valuables
or money may likewise be left in the
safe at the office, a check being given as
receipt for the same. That the man
ayers of the Liberty Bell have no diff
Guilty in adjusting their accounts with
their guests-and a good deal easier
than most other hotelkeepers-there is
proof abundant. The best proof proba-
bly, is the fact that they. even now, at
the time of the year when the number
of their guests has dropped just about
one-half, are making very c0mforta-
BILE living out of the business.
1t is quite simple. Their pres
ent average of $50 guests yields
them daily income of $50. For the
month Of thirty days that means 81 1850.

Story of the Man Who Claims to
Have Supplied 1t.
Toledo Commercial.
One of the witnesses for the prose Gu
ton in the trial of the persons who con-
spired to assassinate President Lincoln
was James P. Ferguson, the proprietor
of the restaurant and saloon adjoining
Ford's theater. Mr.. Ferguson had
heard that Gen. Grant, of whom he was
an enthusiastic admlrer, was to be in
the theater ON that evening, April IA,
1865.
He therefore purchased seats next to
the box directly opposite the one to
which sat President and Mrs. Lincoln.
Majar Lathbone and his affianced, Miss
Harris. From his position Ferguson
was, of course, enabled to see everything
that occurred. He is now a resident of
Cincinnati.
Ferguson claims that he sold Wilkes
Booth the last drink of liquor he took
before he shot the president. Ferguson
was just about to start for the theater
when Booth, who was we'll known to
him, entered. Ferguson delayed long
enough to give him the drink he called
for. and it is believed that this is the
bracer which the assassin took to nerve
him for the crime he was about to COM
nit.
Mr.. Ferguson said: 1.-THE District of
Columbia offered $1,000 for the first
information, and [ was the first man
VINO gave it. l carried the information
to the police headquarters and also to
Col. John w. Forney and Maj. Richard
son at the Chronicle Office that night of
the assassination. They made affidavit
to this. l put my claim in the hands of
Gen. Slough. He was appointed minis
ter to Mexico, where lie was assassinated
in some quarrel. My claim was left
with young fellow. l got nothing.
Col. Baker got big pile of money, and
so did Mai. Doherty, who commanded
the troop of cavalry that captured Booth,
while Boston Corbett, who shot him, got

the Liberty Bell. These men earn
average; others are paid 25 cents
per hour, and many of them
save good deal of money out of their
earnings. There are some regular
guests of this hotel who have 500 and
more on deposit IN the bank: others
prefer to keep their savings with the
owners of the hotel-in the safe. But
they are not all that way. Some of
them are hard drinkers and carousers-
except when at the hotel-and a num-
Der of these have become what they
are-guests of the Liberty Bell-from
that very reason, have separated
from their families or run away
from them, or have fallen further
and further in the social scale until
they have landed where they are There
is, for instance. a highly educated Ger
man there-fled from home on account
of his ruin, wrought by the proverbial
tempters, wine and women. Once he
occupied a high position in the civil adj

he is common labOrer, i. e., when hun

min with Superstitious eye is eveident
upon the testimony of many old wr tiers.
Shakespeare, in "The Tempest" says:
"a very carcass of a boat
Nor tackle, nor mast-the very rats
Instlnctively had quit it.
The reputation of the rat as an evil
omen, therefore. is beyond question
very ancient: but as pest whose pres
ence is menace to the safety of life at
sea the animal has earned distinction
which is quite modern.
A most remarkable instance of the
mischief which the creature is capable
or doing came to light during the pro-
ceediDgS of naval court of inuuir V
held in August, 1875, for the purpose of
investigating the cause of the loss of
the bark Commodore, of Hartle pool.
The vessel, which was burned at sea,
had been loaded with cargo of timber,
and the fire broke out in the hold in a
most mysterious manner. 1t was eventu-
ally proved, on the evidence of the ell
tire crew, that beyond a shadow of
doubt the outbreak was originated by a
rat carrying off lighted candle, which
had stood in the forecaStle and was pres
emily missed by the sailors, and drop
ping it among the dry and reSinouS
pine slowed below.
The Shipping Gazette, in commenting
upon this extraordinary case at the time,
and speaking of the danger generally of
rats on shipboard, said that "they have
caused the laundering of many ships
by gnawing holes in the planking or so
eating away the inner sides of the wood
as to do very little for the straining of
the hull to do in completing the aper-
ture; they have been known to nibbIe
the timber at the waterways until the
wood was so thin as to admit rain
water through it; they will attack the
bungs of casks and prevent leakage:
find out the soft parts of the knees on
lining. and make passage for them
selves from one part to another.'' So
fully has the danger of this now come to
be recognized that such contingencies
are generally provided for in the insur-
ance of wooden-buit ships.
