WHY is THIS
Merchants On Franklin Street Complain
At Gutter Cleaners.

The merchants on Franklin street
are continually complaining at the
way the street cutters are being
cleaned. They say that every rain
a man comes along and rakes the
mud from the cutters, piling it up
on the sides of the street, there to re-
main until wagons scatter it again.
1t appears to the LEAF-CHRONICLE
that this is a useless expense for the
taxpayers of the city. There seems
to be no use in raking out cutters I'M
less the mud is going to be hauled
off. If these cleanIngs were hauled
away it would not take so much
work to keep the cutters cleaned.
The attention of the chairman of the
street committee is again called to
this work, with the hope that he will
make a change in it for the better

al Pefriaed Rn.lv.

While prospecting at Creede, Colonel
j. j. Dore unearthed the body of pet
rified man. A rainstorm had washed
away the dirt, leaving the feet exposed.
The petrifaction weighed 400 pounds.
The body is about six feet long, and in
life would probably weigh 100 or 40
pounds. The hands are crossed on the
breast and the lower limbs Strengthened
out. The top of the head has the APP
pearance of having been scalped, and
there is on the surface what appears to
be wound caused by some heavy blunt
instrument, and from which the brains
of the man oozed out.
The throat is cut, heavy cash ex-
tending clear across and close up under
the chin. There is also cash about an
inch long on the right wrist The hands
are perfect. The creases in the skin and
the nails look as natural as life. The
eyebrows are also very clearly defined.
The muscles of the arms and legs denote
that the man when alive was an athlete,
Injured to hard work and exposure. The
body is a BLUSH gray and is as hard as a
rock.
The news of the find soon spread over
the town, and large numbers visited it.
Dore soon concluded he had a pretty
good thing and charged an admission
fee of twenty-five cents. The generally
accepted belief is that the petrified re-
mains are of some unfortunate prospect
or who in the early days of Colorado
was killed and scalped by the Indians

Canals Run br electricity.

There have been many propositions
for the disposal of the Ohio canals, but
the one contemplating the use of cleo
tricity as the motive power, the same as
is used for street cars, Is considered the
most practical, and it is certainly one
of the most novel suggestions of tho
times. It has been proposed at times to
abandon the canals and sell them ont
for the right of way to railroads. At
other times it has been proposed to
widen them so as to make it possible to
convey ships from the great system Of
lakes to the great system of river navi-
cation that could be reached from the
Ohio river.
IL poles are stretched along the canals
the same as they are now along the
street railways and rapid transit es-
tablished from Cleveland to Portsmouth,
it would certainly be great invention.
and the public works of the state would
become formidable rival Of the rail
roads. A rapid system of navigation
from Duluth to New Orleans may be
among the possibilities of the future,
and If such is the case the system Of
great lakes and the Mississippi river and
its contribufaries will be connected by
an electric canal system through the
state of Ohio. What time that would
be for excursionsl- Columbus Journal.

rect, safe Judgment of any man ever
knew, and possesses wonderful MEM
ory. literally forgetting nothing, either
a fact or a man. One Of his most dis
hnguishing characteristics is his perfect
self control, GOODNESS and poise under
all circumstances, even the most trying,
and in times of the greatest excitement.
He never loses his head, never is in
doubt as to the best course to pursue in
any contingencies that arise and never
could be capable of considering his per-
sonal ambitions or interests as para
mount to loyalty 10 party and country.
Highly as esteem Mr.. Germans talent
--and my appreciation of his worth is
the outcome of an intimate acquaintance
that covers his entire career--there is no
particular phase Of his character which
more commands my admiration than
his domesticity, his demonstration of
the most exemplary virtues as perfect
son, husband and ssther. His family
consists of wife, Ave daughters and a
son, a lad of seventeen years. Mr.. Gor-
man is not q rich man, but owns good
farm in Howard county, the one upon
which he was born. His fine country
house was destroyed by fire four or Ave
months ago. and the family home is Mt
present in Washington.
Mr.. German has a robust but not
stout figure, with well developed shoul-
ders and chest, and is about feet
inches in height. He is always cleanly
shaven and dresses neatly. His manner
is urbane, courteous, and those who
know him well aver that he is charm

through the efforts of the Hon. Reyerdy
johnson, who as war Democrat had
much influence, Mr.. Gorman's appoint
ment was confirmed, and he continued
to hold the Office until the close of Presi-
dent Johnsons term of Office. when he
was promptly superseded by Republic
an appointed under the succeeding ad-
miriistration.
The following autumn Mr.. German
was elected to the Maryland house of
delegates from Howard county. Two
years later he was reelected and made
speaker of the house. Upon the expira-
ton of that second term he was elected
by his constituents to the state senate
and reelected. During his second term
he was nominated and elected to seat
in the United States senate. He is now
serving his second term, which expires
in 1895, in the highest legislative body
of the nation, where he has made for
himself an undying reputation as lead
er of the party from which his fealty has
never swerved.
For ten years he was chairman of the
Democratic state central committee, and
during an equal length of time was
president of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal company, elected to that position
by the Democratic board of public
works Of fhe state Of Maryland.
Upon both occasions of his election to
the United States senate his candidacy
for that position was made party issue
in the legislative elections throughout
the state. and it is regarded as significant
