GET DRUNK ON GASOLINE.
Boys In Philadelphia Have "A Peculiar

The police in the 2jth district OF
Philadelphia have discovered that GER

time ago Il crowd of urchins secured an
Old gasoline barrel, with which they in
tended making fire. Previous to ig-
hitting it, however, one of the party hid
from his companions by jumping in
side of il. He rather enjoyed the odor
OF stale gasoline and inhaled the fumes
for some time, until finally, when he
tried TO get out of his hdingpace, he
found his only escape was TO roll out.
He WAS almost completely overcome by
the fumes and unable TO walk straight.
When he did recover he told the 9TH
ers that the sensation was most delight
ful,and Immediately empty gasoline bar
iels were at premium. The dlscoy-
-rer was James Dougherty, and soon he,

elders could wish for While in this
condition they were discovered by Pc
liceman Goodchild and sent home, it be-
ing supposed that they were sick.
On Friday George Goldthorpe, aged
II years, of No. 1920 Snyder avenue, was
found near Second and Mitflin streets
serenely unconscious behind lumber
pile, and was sent to the police station.
He recovered after several hours, and ip
the morning the story was learned.
ALI through the First ward are numer-
Gus gasoline street lamps. The tanks
in these were filled daily, and il
was an easy matter for the boys TO
climb up the posts and get at the tanks.
They saturated old pieces of cloth with
the fluid, and with these pressed tightly
over their noses and mouths inhaled the
fumes until the desired stage of intoxi-
cation was reached. The police now
have orders to watch the lamps and ar
rest anyone who hampers with them.
The surgeons of the district say that tho
inhalation of the fumes may cause dan
gerous results.

birmingham, Ala. SPECIAL Telegram
Captain Joseph r. Johnston, promi-
nent banker of this city. and leader OF
the free silver forces of the Democratic
party in Alabama. to-day announces
himself a candidate for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination This an
nouncement, coupled with the canvass
just begun by Senators Pugh and Nor
gan for free silver formally inaugurates
the campaign in Alabama. Captain
Johnston has been candidate for Gov
ernor twice before; i'm 1890. and last
year. Each time he was the second
strongest man before the convention.
Morgan and Pugh and other silver lead
ers will canvass every county in the
State for Johnston The friends of
Gov. Oates have practically forced the
latter TO make the race for Governor
again, although he is a candidate for
Senator TO succeed Pugh and says he
does not desire TO stand for reelection
for Governor. He says. however. that
he will not decline the gubernatorial
nomination, which his friends regard
as assurance that he will run. This
brings on a fight to the finish between
Democrats with the money question as
the issue, Oates being a sound money
man, and promises to split the party to
pieces and make Republican chances
for success easy.-Press Dispatch.
The foregoing is highly suggestive,
and encouraging to the friends of sill
yer. Alabama, like all of the other
Southern States, is strongly in favor of
bimetallsm-the gold and silver money
OF the constitution. Nothing has
caused the slightest appearance OF
weakening but the baleful influence OF
Clevelandism, which poisons every
thing ii touches.
There is not the slightest danger OF
the Republicans carrying Alabama on
an anti-silver platform. The only way
they can possibly carry the State at
all is by combination with the Popu-
lists. who are solid for silver. 1t would
not be surprising to see all the free sill
yer forces in Alabama united at an ear
~ day, and Morgan, Pugh, Johnston
and Kolb standing shoulder to shoulder
in the struggle of the people against
plutocracy.
The first and most important step in
that struggle, is to restore silver to the
position it formerly occupied as one OF
the standard money metals of the coun-
try and of the world.

No Decline OF wheat I'm silver Countries.


Mr. Harvey. A farmer in India or
Mexico takes his wheat to the worlds
market at London, and sells 1t today
for about $125 a bushel in silver, or
for half that amount in gold, and with
it buys the silver and takes the silver
home with him-$l25 per bushel-and
pays with it sl25 worth of debt. Now,
before this change in our monetary sys-
tenn began, that $l.25 was about what
the price of our wheat was. Hence the
farmer in India and Mexico is still get
ting the price we once got in the honest
currency of the country-silver. There
is a stable currency for you. A debt
contracted in 1872 could be paid now
in those countries with the same num-
Der of bushels of wheat that it could
then. We take our wheat to London
and sell it for sixty-tive cents, say, and
bring it back here, and we can't, by
any exchange OF silver or otherwise,
pay more than sixty-five cents Of debt
with it. (Applanse) | am going to
settle this whole price question directly
so that you can decide it right in your
rooms at home. 1t has been so arranged
by one of the greatest societies TO pro-
mote civilization in the world, and am

How to Detect "A Criminal.

Mr.. Harvey: Mr. Horn says that |
have no proof that the scheme was con-
cocted in London TO demonetiZe silver
In the Unlsed States. When | was a
boy | went into courthouse one day
to hear a criminal trial, and hear a
lawyer say. when crime is commit
ted and yov want TO detect the criminal,
look for the man that is benefited by
the crime" CApplause) Reasoning by
induction will more invariably locate
the criminal than any uncertain human
testimony. Silver was demonetized in
England, and in England only, prior to
the day it was demonetized in this
country That was where the movement
started that is another evidence.
London bankers initiated the Paris con-
ference of 1867 at which Mr.. John Sher-
man was present, therefore, | have the
right TO say the conspiracy originated

CONTRACT HELD UP
Commissioners Will Wait for Court Of Ap-
peals Decision.
Electric Light Case to BE Finally
.Adjudicat ated-COnsidere by Com
misssi0ners This Morning.

Two important matters affecting the con-
tract for the lighting Of the city by cleo
tric!ty were decided by the Commissioners
this morning. First, that the contract with
the Potomac company would not be signed
until after the motion for appeal had been
decided by the Court of Appeals Second.
that the Commissioners would cooperate
with the United States Electric Company in
obtaining the appeal.
1t was at q special meeting of the board
this morning that these two important lines
OF action were decided upon. Shortly be-
fore IL O'Clock Special Attorney Worthing-
ton, who has represented the District in the
case, appeared before Major Powell 10 talk
over the case. The other Commissioners
we're sent for and the meeting was held IN
Major Powelfs private office. Attorney
Worthington briefly explained the case as
far as it had progressed, and talked at
length upt n the motions for an appeal. He
explained that it was not proper TO grant
an appeal in the case, but it was optional
with the Court of Appeals to grant such d
motion. He rehearsed his appearance be-
fore the court yesterday, and repeated for
the benefit Of the Commissioners the Ian
guage Of the chief justice concerning the
appeal. during which he suggested that the
&C mmssiCE Eers take no action looking to a
delivery OF the contract until after the mo-
tion fer appeal had been decided.
While the court had issued no order, he
thought that its suggestion should be fol-
lowed, and the contract be not executed
Until after the court had decided the mu-
ton. IL the motion were sustained, then,
of course the Commissioners would he
compelled to wait until the appeal had been
decided.
The Commissioners discussed TIE matter
briefly among themselves, and then de-
ciGed, as predicted in The Star yesterday,
that they would not sign the contract un-
til the court had acted.
Attorney Worthington spoke Of the deA
cision Of Judge Cole and commented upon
its scope 1t was big question, ne
thought. and one which materially affected
the District. He suggested that the Commis-
sloners decide upon what course he should
pursue with reference to the motions of the
United States Electric Lighting Com
pany for an appeal. He thought ii would
be well to favor these motions. because the
District wanted a final opinion upon the
case, one which would settle the question
Commissioner Ross thought 1t a good plan,
and the other Commissioners agreed il was
the better plan. So the attorney was di-
rected TO foster the motion for appeal and
hurry the case to final adjudication by the
Court of Appeals.
