SOMEBODY LIED.
A Monstrous Campaign Falsehood Ex'
 ploded-Who Was the Man?

When Colonel John and MT. Bowman met in joint debate at Erswell's hall the latter stated that member from Jefferson in the last legislature had charged the gov ernor with the statement alluded to by Colonel John in the appended correspond ence. Said legislator declared he was pres ent and heard the governor say those very words. Now, who was the legislative wit ness to declaration which the governor says he never made? MT. Bowman owes it to the public and to the other five mem- bers of the legislature to tell his witness name. Will he do it?
 BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July IS, 1894. To His Excellency, Thomas q. Jones, Bir. mingham, Ala.-
 DEAR SIR: In the canvass now being made in Jefferson county it has been charged upon the stump that handed to you the Sayre election bill, enrolled, and that you said: 'Let me sign it quick, be- fore my arm is paralyzed, as it will wipe out the Kolbites, negroes and republi- cans.''
 did not see the Sayre election bill until it was in print. was not in your pres ence when you considered or signed it, and this part of the statement 1 can and have contradicted, but will be glad if you will write me if you ever made any such remarks in reference to any such law to anyone, so that l may have the evidence upon which to contradict such statements, as know from conversation with you that you made no such statements.

BIRMINGHAM, July IS, 1894.

Hon. s. w. John, Birming ghaIn, Ala
 DEAR SIR: l am much surprised that even the most abandoned would coin or cir culate the falsehood to which you call my attention. You did not hand me the bill and you were not with me when l looked over it or signed it. made no remark whatever when the bill was signed except to ask member of the committee on en- rolled bills, who handed it to me, if he had carefully compared it with the engrossed bill. No one who knows me needs to be in- formed that the remarks imputed to me are not at all in keeping with my character or manner of conversation. Yours truly,
 THOS. G. JONES.

ABOUT TO ADJOURN.

The Legislature has voted TO adjourn
sine die at noon tomorrow. II has
been thoroughly time-serving. intrlgu-
Ing. dishonest body, ready for trades
and bargains, disgraced by lobby cor
ruptions, ready to secure or defeat bills
by false counts, now bOss-ridden and
now rebelllous. 1t has won the credit
of reviving tho lobby In it's full strength

tain reform measures for this city have
been wrung out OF the fears OF the
majority through the power OF the
caucus. But II has not been an honest
reform Legislature, and its work leaves
the Republican party in a more inhar
monlous condition than ever.
Mr.. Platt has not been fully able 10
control the action Of the majority. His
boss-ship this year was by no means
as successful as Mr. Croker's last year
The Republican fight in this city will
lie now fiercer than ever. and the Re
publicans have demonstrated their un-
ftness to lead a reform movement.

CoEEY ISLANDS PERIL.

There Is a bill at Albany providing for

But II the annexation should take place

Brooklyn laws would close Coney Island

1t seems strange. but true 1t Is. that

convicted OF felony for displaying and
selling a reprint OF Rubens's famous

prosecuting lawyer said he would knock

had made mistake In not clothing the

MANIAC AT LARGE.
Tries to Murder n Clerk In n Broad
why Drug store.

Edwin C. Siperley. prescription clerk
in II. w. Atwood's pharmacy, A2
Broadway, had very lively experience
with n crazy man on Tuesday evening.
Siperley was making up prescription
when man stepped into the store and
startled Siperley by announcing. with
many curses, that he had come to kill
him. All the other clerks were out. and
no customers were in the store.
Get out" replied slperley. "or I'll
call the police"
you won't have time" said the fell
low, who seized n big siphon OF seltzer
water and attempted to strike Siperley
over the head with II.
Siperley grappled with the man, who
ravcd and swore wildly. Richard Hum
phreys, OF s25 l-2 broadway, who was
passing. came to Siperley's assistance.
and together they threw the man into
the street. After shaking his fists at
Siperley and Humphreys and curslng
them freely. the fellow ran away. Sip
erley's visitor was middle aged. stout
and very well dressed. Stperley says that
the man was certainly insane and
meant to kin him.

WHAT IT ALL MEANS.

What transparent humbug is the
pretense at Albany OF giving us Rapid
Transit.
Rapid Transit for the city of New
York. rendered absolutely necessary by
reason OF the peculiar conformation of
the city, has no more TO do with politics
than with the Bible. II is a question OF
the prosperity Of the city and the con-
venience and comfort OF the people. a
reai rapid transit road ought to be bull,
by practical. experienced men and not
by politicians. II the credit OF the city
Is loaned to the undertaking. it ought
only to be because the money can be
raised on bonds at a much lower rate
Of interest by the city than by contrac-
tors. and without any idea that the cost
OF construction will eventually fall on
tho city.
When the Legislature provides for n
bipartisan Rapid Transit Commission
II has only one object in view, to OBJ
struct and kill any rapid transit road in
the Interest OF the Elevated system,
while shirking responsibility. When
Senator O'Connor talks about the ne
cessity OF preventing the project from
being controlled by Democrats, he sim
ply does the work OF the Manhattan
corporation.
A bipartisan commission would mean
political commission. The men in
trusted with the work from first to last
ought TO be practical engineers and
capable business men. Until this is Sc
cured. rapid transit talk is humbug.
That II Ia not the case In due to the in
trigues and tricks OF the Elevated Rail-
road monopoly.

You lend me the money" said he.
Annie loved Goldberg GeyOIeIly, but

she told him she would not lend him
the money until they were married.

Care of Wet Shoes.

There ere few things more disagree
able than to put on a pair OF stiff, brittle
shoes that have been thrown aside TO
dry after a rainy day. Here is a formula
that claims to eradicate the trouble:
First wipe Off gently with soft cloth
all surface water and mud; then, while
still wet. rub well with paraffine Gil,
using flannel for the purpose. Set them
aside till partially dry, when a second
treatment with oil is advisable. They
may then be deposited in a conveniently
warm place. where they will dry grad
ually and thoroughly. Before applying
French Kid dressing give them a final
rubbing with the flannel still slightly
dampened with paraffine and the boots
will be soft and flexible as new kid and
be very little affected by their bath in
the rain.
