Methods of Doodle Aldermen.
The Grand Jury OF Cook County, Illinois,
Is investigating the alleged "boodle"
methods Of certain members Of the Chicago
City Council. ate's Attorney Longeneck-
er claims to be in possession OF evidence
which will secure the Indictment OF n num-
Der of Aldermen for accepting money for
their votes in favor of two or three valua-
BILE franchises lately given to local
corporations. This evidence, it is
asserted, will show the existence
OF an organized "gangn In the
Council which has oppose1 the passage OF
all ordinances for which the promoters were
not willing to pay, and which has sup ported
all for which the cash was forthcoming. An
attempt will be made to prove that appli-
cants for franchises have been referred to
an attorney and told plainly that they
must first arrange the terms OF their pass
age with him. This attorney, so the story
goes, has. In a number of instances, fixed
the price and collected the money for the
adoption of desired legis alton, and made
division OF the plumber with the gang Of
Aldermen after their votes were recorded.

HE TALKS TO MANY CURIOUS
CROWDS.
Thousands Cheer the New York Man who
Wants to BE President-His Praise for
Democracy and Denunciation of Repub-
Icans Applauded.
Hills soufhernrnnr.

At Roanoke, Va. Senator Hill way
given warm welcome. His train was
met twenty miles out from Roanoke by
a delegation of citizens, who urged him
to make speech during the ten minutes
which the train was TO stop. Several
thousand persons gathered about the
depot and loudly cheered the noted New
York politician upon his appearance.
Senator Hill was introduced to the citi-
zens OF Roanoke by the Hon. III. S.
Trout, the chairman of the delegation,
and, after the cheers had somewhat sub
sided, the Senator spoke.
A committee representing the capital
of Mississippi met Senator Hill at Me-
ridian and escorted him to Jackson.
The members of this committee were r.
III. Henry, editor of the State Ledger;
Senators Fox, Stephens, and Harrison,
and Representatives Street and Varda-
man. At Jackson an immense crowd
was assembled, and Gov. Stone met the
Senator and welcomed him to the State
amid the che ers OF 6, 900 Mississippians.
Senator Hill became the guest of Gov.
Stone during his stay in Jackson, and a
reception was held at the Executive
Mansion, where the Senator shook hands
with the stream of visitors for over an
hour. The Legislature met in joint ses-
sion in the hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives, with Lieut.. Gov. Evans and
Speaker Street as the joint presiding
officers. The galleries and Hobbies were
crowded to the utmost and loud cheers
greeted the appearance of the guest Of
Mississippi as Senator Hill entered the
hall in company with Gov. Stone. Here
the Senator spoke for nearly one hour.
At Birmingham, Ala, incoming trains
brought enthusiastic Democrats. An
escort, consisting OF prominent Demo-
Gratis, had met Senator Hill at Jackson,
and accompanied him over the State
line to Birmingham. 1t was $3.50 a. m.
when the train rolled into the Birming-
ham station, but large crowd had al
ready assembled, and the Senator was
loudly cheered as he and his party
passed to the carriages which con-
veyed the visitors to the hotels. The
visiting party became the guests Of the
Hill Club of Birmingham, and were
the object OF true Southern hospitality.
Col. Hewitt, the President of the Hill
Club of Birmingham, introduced the
Senator, who spoke to at least 5000
people.
On the trip from Birmingham to At
lanta the Senator was greeted at every
stop by hundreds of enthusiastic adj
mirerS.

"A Clerk Shoots Two OF His Employers and

"A Clerk SHOOTS Two OF HIS Employers anu
Fellow Emp:oye and Kills Himself.
The most appalling tragedy that has
ever been recorded In the history OF Tifiin,
Ohio. occurred Tuesday morning. Walter
A. Snyder. one OF the wealthiest and most
popular young men in the city. while en-
gagged in friendly conversation with two
OF his employers-Burton Crobaugh and
Edward 4. Naylor-suddenly and without
a word of warning pulled n revolver and
began firing at them. Crobaugh was
struck I'm the back and two balls passed
through MAYORS body. Thomas w.
Downey, fellow clerk interfered
and !. was shot three times Snyder
then ran upstairs and put the re-
naming bullet in his revolver through
his own heart The scene of the tragedy
was the hardware store OF j. M. Naylor,
one OF the Oldest establishments In the city.
For many years f. 7. Naylor. a half brother
of the proprietor. Crobaugh, and Snyder
have been employed In the store, and they
have been like brothers. Last week the
senior Mr. Nay lor announced his determi-
tion to make a change In the firm by the
admission of Crobaugh and the younger
Naylor. Snyder was worth probably $780,
coo and was unmarried, but his money was
SO tied up in real estate that he was unable
to take an interest In the business This
seems to have so preyed upon his mind as
to produce insanity, for there is no doubt
that his work was that OF a mailman.

HUNDREDS IN DANGER.
Lively Confiagration In a st. Louis To-
bacco Factory.

Lively Confagration In n st. Louis To-
bacco Factory.
Fire started in the upper floor of the Lig-
gett & Myer tobacco factory in St Louis,
and, owing to the highly infiammable char
acter Of the material upon which it fed. the
fire spread with great rapidity. In less than
fifteen minutes the entire seventh story was
a mass OF seething flames, which were famed
by brisk wind across an alley, and threat
ened to destroy the large tobacco stor-
age warehouse adjoining, which con-
tanned thousands of tons of prepared to-
bacco. Despite the hard work of the fire
brigade the flames worked down through
the seventh, sixth, fifth and fourth flo ors of
the building. After two hours hard work
the fireman succeeded in gaining control Of
the blaze The loss it is believed will fully
reach 1926, 900. The fire is said to have
started In the curing-room on the top floor
OF the building. and was probably caused
by spontaneous combustion.

At Memphis case similar to the infatu-

that OF Addie Phillips and Minnie Hubbard,
each IL years old. The two girls disap-
peared and were not found for four days.
Miss Phillips said that she and Minnie had
been together She told her mother that
she loved Minnie and would rather be dead
than separated from her. She said that
Minnie was the only person she could
marry, and this she intended to do as soon
as she secured some money. Miss Phillips
is n fne- looking girl and has been carefully
educated. 1t was agreed between the pa
rents OF the two girls to separate them, and
when Miss Phillips heard the result of the
council she was overcome with grief.

Admits the Crime.

James Briscoe, the Chicago colored man
who assaulted and attempted TO rob Edwin
Walker, the well-known attorney and
Worlds Fair Director, was brought TO trial
before Judge Clifford in the Criminal Court
Just before the trial began Brlscoe's con-
federate in the crime, John Butler, white
man, deserted him and went over to the
enemy. He was indicted along with the
colored man, but rather than face jury he
owned up at the last moment that he and
Briscoe committed the crime, and plea of
guilty was entered for him.

DAMAGES FOR A PRAIRIE FIRE.
Fond du Lac Farmers Must Pay for Hay

Fond du Lac Farmers Must Pay for Hay
and Grass Destroyed.
A large portion of Horizon marsh, few
miles south of Fond du Lac, was burned
over last September and n large quantity
OF cut hay and second growth grass de-
stroyed. The loss footed up many thou
sand dollars. The responsibility for
the fire was placed upon farmers
who burned the grass about their
stacks for their own protection and
let the fire get beyond their con-
troll George w. Brown brought suit against
Clinton Brooks, @. Odekirk and b. Fair
banks for setting these fires and to recover
the value OF his hay. 1t was made test
case. and has been stubborniy fought In
the Fond du Lac Circuit Court. The jury
rendered a verdict for the plaintiff with
$500 damages. Other suits will now be
brought to cover the balance OF the loss.
