 Blossburg, July 20.-(Special Corre- spondence. 1.-The democratic convocation and love feast at Adamsville Friday is bearing fruit. Nothing but good words are heard from it on every hand. Every one comments the management of the barbecue and the excellence of the speeches. There was an abundance of both mental and physical food. and a distinguished populist told your corre- spondent that he had never seen more respectful and attentive audience. Spe- cial mention is made of the splendid speech of Professor Burruss and his lucid delneation of the inner workings of those engaged in bringing about fusion between the populist and republican fac tions It's enjoyment was greatly en- hanced by the evident discomfiture it caused to those still supporting the con- glomeration ticket. He challenged them to deny the absolute correctness of his statements. as

THREE FIRES YESTERDAY. None of Them Were Serious-The Twenty
 first Street Bridge Catches.

There were three fires yesterday. to two of which the department responded and the third was extinguished without it's aid.
 The first fire was at 12:55 p. m. and was a telephone alarm. The Twenty-frst street bridge had caught fire, supposedly from spark from a passing engine. The new steamer was taken out, but not put in use. The damage was slight.
 The second run was by the Southside department to Tenth avenue and Four teenth street, south. The blaze was in the kitchen of a residence, but did no damage.
 The third blaze was caused by the over flowing of some preserves on a stove in the kitchen of Mr. c. c. Benson, at Ninth street and Second avenue.

MUD AND MICROBES.
Some Citizens Think Muddy Water Respons-
 bIe for That Typhoid Fever

There are several cases of typhoid fe- yer on the South Highlands, but as yet no deaths have resulted from the disease. The cause of the sickness is attributed to the water, which has been almost unfit for use since the first hard rains in the early spring. The water was recently in vestigated by the officials and the water works company gave as one of the req sons for the condition of the water that it was due to the great waste by the patrons. Two inspectors, one represent ing the city and the other the water works company, made a thorough inspec- tion and cautioned patrons against this waste. The result of this inspection has not been ascertained or felt by the citi- zens of the South Highlands, but 1t is a fact however, that if mud is the rem dezvous of typhoid microbes the citizens are acting wisely this season in seeking a health resort instead of a pleasure re- sort for the summer months.

AT WHITE PLAINS.
Great Speeches by Tompkins and Cunning

Great Speeches by Tompk1ns and Cunning
 ham-Spicy Revelations
 Anniston, July 21.-(SpeciaL)- )-Hon. H. c. Tompkins of Montgomery, Dr. R. M. Cunningham of Birmingham and Hon. Len F. Greer of this county spoke at White Plains, fifteen miles northeast of here, Saturday to an immense crowd, which received with enthusiastic ap- plause the great political truths promul- gated.
 Mr. Tompkins said that he had favored a different financial policy to the one agreed upon by the democracy but that the party was his law. He spoke with much vigor against the habit of ticket scratching and said he would vote tick ct straight even though there were men on it with whom he was not on speaking terms.
 Dr. Cunningham's speech was brilliant and eloquent and was cheered from be- ginning to end.
 MT. Greer, who was a populist for four years, besought his former political brethren not to attempt to swallow the black republican pill prepared by the negro convention at Montgomery. He re- piled to the charge that he received $100 from w. r. Aldrich two years ago by saying that it was true, that he took 1t and spent every cent of it In canyassing for Aldrich, not penny being diverted to his own pocket He further said that he had received $10 additional from Aldrich, but that he had decided to make no more speeches for him and had returned it to him, getting a receipt. He said that he was not the only one who received money from Aldrch; that A. F. Longshore had gotten $200 to keep out of the congress sional race; that Dan P. Williams, now a candidate for superintendent of educa- ton in this county, got $25 but got mad and quit because he couldn't get $50. He also said that Taylor got $500 for the sup port of the Cleburne Flow Boy. Mir. Greer declared that W. F. Aldrich's seat in congress cost him at least $16.000.
 All three of the speeches did great oaO1

 They were riding on the electric car. She was talking to her pastor.
 Brother -, what do you think of all this talk about money?"
 My dear sister, I find it very com plicated question. At one time I was in favor of the single standard, but I have changed my opinions of late, and rath- CT think now that both gold and silver should be made the money basis
 T have never given the subject much study myself, but think gold Is right she answered. My husband is for gold, and I think, of course, everything he thinks is right, and you know all the sem sible people are for gold"
 'I don't know so much about the lat ter, my sister. There are some very sefl- sible people on both sides of this sub- ject."
 'T don't know, you see. I just take what my husband says about 1t. Never have heard of any sensible people being for silver"
 The gong rang just as the lady started to relate the story about her last game of euchre, and the reporter was forced to miss the discussion of a very interesting game.
