In the lame and easily riddled sta
tistics which have been offered to con-
fuse those who cannot take the time
or trouble to investigate the facts,
there was given statement purportlng
to show an increase in expenditures in
the various state departments. The
increase in the governors salary is one
item, but no one ever heard that the
Democratic governor, who succeeded
the first man to enjoy a proper reniun-
Grafton for his work as chief execu-
tive of the state, ever refused a dol
lar Of the increase. On the contrary.
everyone knows that the Democratic
governor was very thankful for the
wisdom OF the legislature because, like
all his predecessors land his success
sors), he had been unable to live and
maintain the dignity Of his Office upon
the compensation paid him.

Columbus, O., Oct 22.-Three simple
statements by three distinguished men
disprove and put an end to one of the
most malicious and dangerous lies Of
the campaign of falsehood and treach-
cry which the Democrats have waged
against Senator Hanna since the be-
ginning of the campaign-since the be-
ginning, indeed, of the campaign Of
1896.
The falsehood in question, which is
thus disproyed, while first published
in another state, was intended for con-
sumption in Ohio, and had no sooner
appeared in it's place OF origin than it
was spread broadcast through Ohio
and published in every paper in the
state which was willing to lend itself
to the cause of circulating falsehoods
for political purposes.

The False Charges Hutlinee.

The charge, as originally published
in the New York World, was to the
effect that Senator Hanna had last year
made a deal with certain New York
millionaires whereby they were to be
given special advantage in the pur-
chase of the Union Pacific railroad in
consideration Of contributions of sew
eral millions to the campaign fund of
1895. The Union Pacific road, to which
this government advanced S33,000,O00
to aid in its construction, is now about
being sold by order of the government
because of its non-payment of the sum
thus advanced. and the statement Of
The World was that Mr.. Hanna had
arranged with these New York capi-
talists that they should have special
facilities for bidding upon the road and
thus be able to bid it in for many mil
lions less than its value, provided they
would subscribe largely to the cam
paign fund

ADJUSTMENTS,

INNOCENT AS A LAMB."-James Rar-
rows, who has had enough experience in
playing bad old men while with the Column
Ola stock Company to last him all the rest
OF his life and make him cause of Jealous
terror to his wife for ever after, is cast for
the role of the Lamb in Walter Craven's
innocent as Lamb next week. Con-
trary to Its name the role, which was oriei-
naIly played by that unique comedian, Ro-
land Reed, Is as strong a type for worldli-
ness as even Barrows could wish for, and
the qualities of the gentle beast are only
possessed on the exterior by the man who
processes to Initiate 1t. The play itself Is as
good substitute for laughing gas as has
ever been seen in this city In spite of the
powerful booming of Reeds other plays,
not one Of them has ever achieved the DO
sltion in popular regard of Innocent as
Lamb. To see 1t without laughing proved
an impossibility, and, as the public have al
ways been noted for their love Of humor,
the piece was Immediately installed as a
prime favorite. 1t cannot be said to be
novelty, as 1t embraces all the older points
Of farce, but one enjoying its complications,
which for ingenuity really rival the serious
ones of Stanley Weyman, never has Il mo-
ment in which to decide whether this scene
or that Is old or not. The character draw
ing Is as good as the plot and the situa-
lions 1t affords The Lamb is as droll
character as ever walked the stage and
his efforts to appear innocent are truly
ludicrous. Barrows' experience in those
roles should make this one fit him like a
glove. The other parts Will be quite as
we'll filled, William Boag, Godfrey Stein,
William Ingersoll, Bert Thayer William
Winter Jefferson, Alberta Gallatin, Grayce
Scott and Pearle Evelynne all being in the
cast. A big week may be looked forward
to.

There was a 7diffcalty between whites
and blacks on the big lot near North Cap

day, and last night the police had case
Of prospective murder on their hands.
Timothy Hurley Is the name Of white
man who was badly wanted, while the col
ored man. who was unconscious and al
most dead, was Thomas Gorham.
Although. the officers were engaged in a
search for Murderer Dorsey Foultz, sew
eral OF them were spared to go after Hur-
ley. but he had followed Reultzs example,
and had gone where the police could not
find him.
base ball bat, and not a: pistol or knife,
was the weapon used in this case, and the
blow was inflicted across the forehead with
such force that the colored mans skull
was fractured
open lot, which Is used by both whites and
piacks as common ground. 1t has always
been understood that possession was all
that was necessary to claim the right of
way, and yesterday party of colored peo-
pie were first on the ground. They were
engaged in game of crouuet when the
Wnite oase ball players arrived and in
sisted on taking possession of the grounds.
Declined to Retire.
The colored people were not disposed to
give up their rights, and they proceeded to
argue the question. This plan did not seem
to satisfy the contestants. 1t was not an
argument, but the lot that. was wanted.
and each side seemed to be determined to
hold it by fair or foul means
Ihomas Gorham acted spokesman for
the coiored delegation, and when some one
threatened violence Gorham said he would
use his mallet.
You will?" questioned one of the whites

Just then, the witnesses say, Tim Hurley,
who is a big man. approached Gor11am and
dealt him the blow across his forehead
white ball players. Gorham fell to the
ground. An ugly cut had beer sustained
by the colored man. and he lost a considera-
BILE amount of blood. Instead of pursuing
the man who had inflicted the injury, Cor
hams colored companions gathered about
him, and did all they could to relieve him
until the arrival of the patrol wagon, and
then he was taken to Freedmens Hospital
The physicians saw at a glance that the
injury was a serious one.
Police Were Prompt.
The police at the second precinct re-
membering their bad luck in the Foultz
case, started after Hurley without any de-
lay. Policemen Mcdonald and Cooper were
detailed to devote their time and attention
to the case but Hurley, who is well known,
was not to be found about his usual haCnts
His friends labored as hard to shield him
as did the friends of Gorham to save the
latter's life.
Soon after reaching the hospital Gorham
regained conscious ness, and was able to
explain to the doctors just how the affair
happened. This morning the patients con-
dition was slightly imp owed, and his as
sailant was still at large.

WILLIAM JOHNS DILEMMA
Aiscalculated the Expense of Stunning
Bridal Tour.
Last 81 Bill Spent for a Hack-Ohicer
Frank to the Rescue-sad,
but Wiser.

William John Boardman and sallis w.
Bryant, who live in East Richmond. Va.
came here yesterday on an afternoon
train. Sallie had her name changed from
Bryant to Boardman by the Rev. ]. J..
Muir, and the happy couple. wholly ig-
norant of the responsibilities Of married
life, spent their last 81 for carriage hire.
and then the destitute husband appealed
to the police for aid.
When the young husband and wife
reached the Baltimore and Potomac de-
pot just before the departure of the Rich
mond train, the former related his woes
to an officer He and his wife were stran-
gers in a strange place, he said, and were
without money enough to pay for some
thing to eat.
The policeman could do nothing for them
other than send them to the police station
Tor the night and ask Sanitary Officer
Frank for transportation home this morn
ing. But he did not like the idea of see
ing them spend the first night of their
honeymoon IN 2 station, and go he called
al the Howard House and told the clerk of
the predicament In which they were found.
Hotel Clerks Sympathy.
Il won't see them suffer for a place to

shall they go hungry
He gave them room and fed them. and
this morning William John, dressed in
his wedding garments, was ushered into
the office of Sanitary Officer Frank at DO
lice headquarters.
And William John will never forget this
visit, for he heard more good. sound. com
mon sense In the form of advice from the
sanitary officer than he had ever heard
DeIore, probably, in all his life.
Inc story of the applicant for a free ride
on the railroad was a short but sad one
ne had saved 81 of his earnings in a
richmond paper mill to spend on the event

tour that would eclipse anything of the
KIND In which his fellow-employes had
ever figured.

would visit the big house on the hill and
hear tariff speeches, see the President and
perhaps Speaker Reed They would in
short. inspect all places of public interest

When they reached the depot in Rich
mond the prospective groom had that 81
In his pocket. 1t required the expenditure
OF 81 for two tickets to bring them here
nouhu-trip tickets would have cost more
than he had. They would have no trouble
getting back, so William John said to him
self.
I'll pawn my watch" he said, in a tone
not loud enough for Sally to hear, and
along they came and were made one The
license cost him 81, and when he had given
another dollar to the minister he had a
solitary 81 bill left, and this money he paid
the hackman. He was then penniless.
sanitary Officer Frank, after giving Will
nam John the good advice referred to, sup
piled him with tickets to take his wife and
