THE CURRENT FRENCH CRAZE,
Extreme Legislation Promised as the Re
suit of the Spy Mania.

Extreme Legislation Promised as the Re.
suit of the Spy Mania.
The succession of fanatical crazes in
which the French people have been in
dulging in the past two years has placed
upon the statute books some of the most
monstrous laws that ever disgraced q
monarchy, not to say a democracy. The
present spy mania promises to add some
amazing legislation of this description
The law against espionage laid before
the chamber by the minister of war,
now awaiting enactment, is of this char
acter. The pretended purpose of the bill
is to enable the penalty of death against
traitors, such as Captain Dreyfus, to be
inflicted, but it contains a number of
insidious clauses which would enable a
government not troubled with scruples
of conscience to get rid of its enemies
by trumping up spurious charges of dis
closing state secrets.
For instance, it proposes to infict five
years Imprisonment and 10, 900 francs
fine on any unqualified person who shall,
even without intent of espionage, have
procured, got hold of or published any
plans, documents or information con-
Corning the national defense or the ex-
ternal safety of the state. This proposal
is strongly denounced by the opposition
newspapers, and even the ministerial
Debats admits that it is going little
too far. 1t is hardly surprising that
some of the London newspapers are de-
claring that the only safety for foreign
ers is to stay away from France Paris

RULES FOB SKATERS.
Captain Johnson Gives Timely Advice to
the Venturesome.


the Venturesome.
Captain &. n. Johnson Of the tug D.
L. Libbey and resident of Winneconne,
has, from thorough knowledge of the
difficulties and dangers which beset the
skater, when he goes through the ice,
compiled list of precautionary meas
ures, which he does not expect to be
followed explicitly, but which he is in
hopes will be needed by the venture
some.
His timely warning contains excellent
advice to all skaters, and the suggestions
are as follows:
First. When you 60 skating take a
ball of strong cord, to or,o end of which
is attached heavy fish sinker, SO that
if any one goes through the ice you can
stand far enough away FROM the hole
and yet render them assistance by throw
ing the weighted end of the line to them.
Second.-Lf you go through the ice
where there is strong current, try and
keep at the up river end of the hole.
Rest your arm on the edge of the ice if
possible, but do not attempt to climb
out alone, for you will lose the strength
which you will need when assistance ar
rives. If a person remains perfectly qui-
ct, the cold water does not circulate
through his clothes and his body re-
mains warm. Use every effort to keep
away from the down river end of the
hole, for the current will sweep you un-
der the ice in a twinkling.
Third.-If no help is near, rest one
arm on the ice, raise the foot carefully
and one skate can be removed very cas-.
lily. Take off the other skate in the same
manner, and then with these to aid yon
your safety is assured.
Fourth. If you hear any one call for
help, do not hasten to the spot unless
you have pole, bush or something that
will be Of assistance to them.
Fifth.-Best Of all, keep off the ice
under which there is a strong current.

SILL A SISTER TO HIM.
Although Annie Married Him, She Refused
to BE a Wife.


to BE Wife.
Simply sister to him.
That is what Eugene f. File says his
wife has been to him since his marriage,
and that alone. File is leather finisher
and foreman in the shops of McDermott
g. Howard in the eastern district Of
Brooklyn. For the reason given he has
begun suit for the annulment of his
marriage, which was celebrated eight
years ago.
Mrs. Moore keeps boarding house at
225 Havemeyer street. Her daughter
Annie, known in the neighborhood as
Miss Moore, is slender Among the
boarders is Mr.. File. who now claims
that he is known among Annie's friends
as Mr. Moore, her brother. InShort, al
though the marriage ceremony was per-
formed between them Dec. /, 1886, he
declares under oath that the ceremony
ended at the church door, and that since
then Annie has refused to play the part
of wife to him.
File says that out of salary of S15
week he has paid his mother in-law
S1S part of the time and $40 the other
part for the board of himself and tSis-
ter Annie.
A year or two ago, maddened by the
circumstances by which he was sur
rounded, he left town. His wife per.
suaded him to return, but it was not to
marital happiness, for his wife contin-
ued to be sister to him, as before.
At last the husband brother got one
of the visiting cards Of miss Annie
Moore, 225 Havemeyer street" and paid
visit to Mr.. Westlotorn and asked him
for advice. Papers were prepared and
served upon the daughter.
The answering affidavit was to the
effect thatAnnie had been his wife and
lived with him as such until he left her
and began proceedings. She asked the
court that he be forced to pay her SO a
week and $500 counsel fees in order that
she might defend the action. Justice
Bartlett has signed an order directing
the plaintiff to show cause why he

THE RIGHT MAN.

Officer Kirkley's Catch Turns Out to Be a.
 Good One.
 Tuesday last Officer Kirkley of the po- lice force arrested a man who gave his name as George Cheatham and docketed him as held on suspicion. The reason of the charge was because the man had a cotton sack in which were three suits of clothes, an extra pair of pants and three pairs of shoes.
 This morning Marshal F. M. Wimpy of Attalla, accompanied by Mr M. Nich- olson, came down in answer to card received from Chief Mcdonald, to see if the goods belonged to s. w. White, merchant in Attalla, similar goods hav- ing been stolen from box car few days ago, while being sent to MT. Moody at Springville.
 Thegoods were identified by the lot numbers on the tickets on same corre- spending with those on the bill of goods shipped.
 Mr. Nicholson, who is in the employ of White also identified the goods.
 Cheatham claimed to have bought the goods from another man. He will be taken to Attalla today.

 COAL COMBINE.
Operators Organize and Name Coal Com missoner-Rise Looked For Monday.
 Local Dealers Fail to Combine.

For some time past it has been bruited around that combine of coal operators and dealers would be formed in this dis trict. The former, from appearances, has been effected, but the latter, owing to a refusal on the part of some of them to participate, fell through.
 The combine of operators has been virtually effected and coal commits sioner named. MT. c. P. Perrin of the Corona Coal and Coke company has been selected for this position. His duties are varied, the principal one being to keep a record of all contracts entered into by those in the ne, prices of same and time of deliN. He IS 10 see that the cotracts are n... violated.
 The combine is said to have had US origin in Walker county, and rom there extended to Jefferson. Those said to De in the combine are the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, Sloss iron and Steel company, Virginia ana Ala bama Coal company, American Coal com pany, Corona Coal and Coke company, Galloway, Gcethite and others. In fact, it is understood that nearly every min ing company of consequence in the two counties is in the deal.
 It is said that the first move on the check board will be an advance of % cents per ton at the mines. How much further the price will be extended re- mains to be seen.
 Owing to the failure of local dealers to form combine the price to consumers may not be advanced further than at present. s coal was raised 25 cents per ton for the two grades some time ago.

and proceeded to march him to prison, but
 just as they reached the gate the fun began, the aforesaid young chap gave them the slip here and hied him self away as fast as his legs would carry him. Several shots were fired by the officers who stood by in amazement and let the prisoner escape. He was traced down in the bottom back of the residence of Mir R. B. Mason, and there lost sight of until he was heard of a few miles from here inquiring the way to New Mar ket As soon as this news reached town Deputy Sheriff l.. N. Gilbert and some others immediately gave chase. They came within half an hour of him and found where he had broken into house. He eluded the officers, however, by taking to the woods and they failed to capture him. He had stolen horse somewhere in Tennessee and had swapped it for an- other horse and $10 in Fayetteville. A large reward was offered for his capture, but luck seemed to be in his favor. The stolen horse and money were restored to their owner. This was the only bit of ex- citement that occurred on the Fourth.

SIMPLY AN ACCESSIBILITY Says the Richmond Chamber of
 Commerce, IS FREE COINAGE AT l6 TO 1 Without international Agreement-Husbands and Fathers, Every Good Citizen
 Should Want an Honest Dollar.

Richmond Va. July 1.-The Richmond chamber of commerce at it's meeting to- night adopted the following, submitted by the committee on banking and cur rency. to whom was referred a commit nication from the committee on sound money of the chamber of commerce for the state of New York upon the subject of agitating against the free coinage of silver and in favor of the maintenance of the present standard of values
 We entertain a profound conviction that free coinage of silver at the ratio or l6 to 1, by the United States lone, With out international agreement, means not bimetallism but silver monometalllsm. Bimetallism does not today prevail in any country of the world where free coinage exists.
 "At the present price of silver bullion the co-exstence of bmetallism and free coinage at the ratio of 16 to l, without international agreement, IS slmpiy all impossiblity.
 Hinder existing circumstances, there fore. if the United States should under take free coinage of silver at 1o 10 l. IL would result in forcing this country 10 the sole silver standard, making II take rank as a silver country with Chlna, J h., about the debasement of our currency and the consequent reduction in value of the accumulated savings Of the peo- pie; the price of labor of the mechanic, the tiller of the soil, the salaried clerk, the physician, the lawyer, and every man who lives by the work of his brain or hands
 "If it should be believed by the nations that the United States were about to embark upon such a hazardous adyen- ture it would in all probability precipi- tate a panic more violent and enduring than the frightful financial convulsion of 1893.
 "We deem it the interest of every busi- ness man, or every husband or father, who has invested his savings in a policy of life for the benefit of his wife and children, in fact of every citizen who has stake of any kind in the community, to insist that the dollar of the United States shall be the equivalent in value of the gold dollar now and forever.
 Resolved, first, That the chamber of commerce of the city of Richmond heart fly approves and comments the vigor- ous and wise action of the chamber of commerce of the state of New York, and we pledge to it our cordial co-opera- tion and the exercise of all our influence in carrying on the campaign in behalf of sound money and maintaining the present standard of value in this coun- try.
 "Resolved, second, That the chamber of commerce urgently recommends the formation of what shall be termed Sound Money clubs in every ward of this city, and respectfully ask the press of this city and state to urge upon the people to stand by and in favor of sound mOney"
