former secretary of the Mutual Automatic
Telephone company, "a concern which Sc
cured valuable franchises from the city
through, it was alleged, wholesale bribery
of councilmen of both branches, was the
star witness. Gale was mysteriously alb
sent during the Investigation of the bribery
charges by "a committee of councils about
two years ago, and his appearance yester-
day caused " furry in the hearing room.
He gave his testimony in an easy, natural
Mr.. Gale said that he had been given a
5000 share certificate of the stock, with in
structions to divide it into seFenty-flve
certificates of six shares each, twenty-five
certificates Of twenty shares each, four
certificates of 800 shares and two certin-
Gates Of 1,525 shares each. These last two
certificates, he said, were made out in the
names of David Martin, the political
fender of this city and State Senator
Charles A. Porter.
The two five hundred share certificates
were afterwards divided in fifty lots of
twenty shares each. The witness said he
took these certificates to the Republican
city committee rooms and gave them to
Mr.. Martin. The latter said, according to
the witness, that Gale would nave to in
dorse the certificates. The witness testified
that he went over to the office of Tax Re
ceiver Taylor in company with james

Republican city committee rooms and
handed the certificates to Mr.. Martin, who
placed them in a gripsack.
Gale said that he was spending "a vaca-
ton in Baltimore when the councilmanic
investigation WASH in progress. While there
he got n telegram from John p. Persch,
president of the Automatic company, ask
ing that he meet him in New York. The
meeting took place, according to the wit
ness, in the law office of Ex-Governor Wal
Ter. He said hat during the council
manic investigation Mr.. Martin visited
Trenton twice for the purpose of confcr-
ring with John p. Persch.
George Persch, who was in the employ
of the Mutual Automatic cor

the stock was "split up and said he was
at the office of the company when Mr..
Martin called to get the certificates. The
witness then told how he had gone to
New York during the investigation of the
Telephone scandal, and detailed various
sums of money which, he alleged. had
been paid to him by MIR. Martin. William
Pcrsch, another brother, .c"orroborated

THE ALABAMA ELECTION.
Latest Returns Sustain the Report, II
Johnston's Big Majority.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 6.-Further re-
turns from Mondays election show . lat
Johnston and the Democratic ticket have
carried Al counties, while Goodwin, Pop
ulist- Republican. has -. Three counties
are close and in doubt, and it is about a
stand off in those. Johnston's official and
estimated maiorities amount to 4S,S13,
while Goodwyn's maiorities are g, 205, leav-
ing Johnston's net majority at ~ 600. The
official canvass Of the vote Saturday will,
1t is thought, not vary fr - these figures.
The house Of the legislature stands "A Dem
ocrats Ga gain of ten members, 20 Popu-
lists and z doubtful In the senate the
Democrats have elected - members, the
Populists 3 and / is i'm doubt. This gives
the Democrats over three-fourths of the
Legislature. Johnston's majority in the
white counties is nearly 10000, not includ-
ing the black belt, which is calculated TO
dispose of the charge that Goodwin was
elected but counted out. Conservative
Populist leaders assert that if it is shown
officially that the white counties elected
Johnston they will support Bryan and
Sewall in November.

A young man who was recently appointed
an agent for the Shamokin Steam Laundry
has been soliciting work from residents of
this town under the representations that he is
an agent for the Shenandoah Steam Laundry.
We protest against this practice. Besides we
do not understand why the Shamokin Steam
Laundry SHOULD be obliged to travel thirty
miles to Shenandoah for patronage when
Shamokin itself is an excellent laundry town.
Our plant is a home industry and we can
successfully compete with any outside
laundry.
