A POLITICIANS SAD FALL.
Once Presidential Election Hinged on
His Utterance-Now Commits a Crime
To Find Shelter In JAIL.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Adrain Britt
was a prisoner to-day in the Federal
Court. He was awaiting sentence
for completely in the robbery of
street mail boxes. He was shabby
and broken and he hoped to get a
sentence of one year in the peniten-
tiary, because that meant shelter
and food and gift of 500 upon dis
charge.
Adrian Britt was the man upon
whom was supposed to hang the re-
suit of the Hayes ilden election.
He was publisher of the Jacksonville
Union when the electoral vote of
Florida hung in the balance He
conceded Hayes election and it killed
the paper and defeated Tilden.
Britt was born in Louisiana on
Christmas Day, 1850. His father
died a year later and left $3.50, 900.
He grew up in New Orleans, went
to college, had good time," and
started in life by buying the Jack
sonville Union. After he sold the
paper in 1877, he was in the Gov
eminent Secret Service. Ha pub
lished the Bankers Magazine and
the Bankers Manual, and was adj
vertising agent on the New York
Tribune.
In 1888 he came to Chicago. While
the head of the Loemo Publishing
Company, he fell down hatchway,
and was so badly injured that he
had to sell out. Since then he has
been going down hill, and for sever
al years has been "on the levee. !"
John Regain, the printer who cashed
some Of the stolen checks, refused to
prosecute, but the postal authorities
had no conjunction. Britt pleaded
guilty.

THE CONTRACTS LET
James McGarron the Lucky
Man.
Work to Begin Within Very Short
Time.

1ne routine WOrk on tue conStruc-
ton of the six locks and dams be-
tween this place and Fairmont has
been rushed through much more
rapidly than was expected. Now
within a very few weeks or even
days the actual work of construction
will begin A few more details have
to be arranged and not much time
will be taken with these.
The contracts have been let. The
bidding was very spirited and at
tracted contractors from all over the
country. Seventeen firms entered
the competition. Their bids ranged
from more than million dollars for
the series Of dams to that bid by the
gentleman who received the CON
tract. The lucky or unlucky bidder
as events may prove is James Nc
Garron, OF Philadelphia. His bid
for the whole work and for each
separate work was lower than any
other bidder. The opinion is freely
expressed that the bid was much
too low and the fact that Congress
set the limit so much higher almost
twice as much gives color to the as
sertion. But as he has had exper-
fence in this kind Of work he more
than likely knows what he is doing.
The prices given on each lock are
as follows: No. 10, $95, 059.35; No.
IL, $l19,61s.64; No. II, $111, 953.19;
No. 10, 500, 1856; No. Ia, $97, 905.
10; No. Is, $97, S62.21. The total
bid was 1922, 1874.
The conditions under which the
contracts were let are that the con
tractor furnish satisfactory samples
of the sand proposed to be used in
the concrete work and that he begin
work within twenty days after the
government shall have acquired title
to the different sites. These titles
will be acquired at once as there is
SO far as known nothing to delay ii
so that work must begin shortly.
As will be seen more than two
hundred thousand dollars will be
spent right in sight Of Morgantown
The business men and citizens gen
orally should at once take steps tc
have the bulk of this put in circula-
ton here. The families of the PEG
pie engaged in the work should be
induced to come here. They will
add much to the prosperity of the
town and will remain for some time
The contractor has six years tc
complete the work when the river
will be Stacked and free from its
mouth to Fairmont. The coal field
thus developed will be sufficient to
supply the world for a long time al
the present rate of consumption. The
effect on this section will be mos
beneficial and in very short time
we shall be enjoying an unprecedent-
ed era of prosperity.

Rryan house and lot in Lincoln,
Nebraska, valuhd at some thousands
