Paris Was Not wide Open" But
Wide Awake. Says Bourbon
News.

"Paris and Georgetown, which
advertised wide open towns
reaped harvest Sunday, between
$500 and $500 from Lexington
who object to conditions resulting
from enforcement of Sunday laws,
spending the day in those towns"
Lexington Herald.
Paris never advertised "wide
open town" in Lexington; the only
thing we advertised is that we have
wide-awake merchants, and that
you can buy in Paris on week days
up-to-date goods in all branches of
trade as cheap as you can in Lex
ington or any other city.
The interurban people scattered
circulars in Lexington advertising
Paris as a wide open Sunday town,
but if they carried $500 people of
Lexington, Sunday, Georgetown
caught them. We heard of eight
from that city taking supper in
Paris Sunday night. The largest
number of Lexington people in
Paris at one time was about 40,
members of the Lexington Opera
Company, who came down after
supper and returned after the per-
Torrance.

WONDERFUL ENGINEERING
How Pennsylvania Railway ia
Building Tunnel Under aud
son River.
tw. E. ourtIs, world,s FaIr Letter.l

In the Transportation Building
is sample section of the tunnel
which the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company is now building from New
Jersey to Long Island under the
City of New York. 1t is made OF
the actual materials that are now
Being used in the bowels OF the
earth under the Hudson river, and
represents the most expensive feat
of engineering ever undertaken by
human beings.
The tunnel is an immense iron
tube altogether sixteen miles long.
Two tunnels will run under the
Hudson and four under East river
to Long Island City, and they will
cost about $2O,000,OOO, or an aver
age of 81, 100000 a mile.
The tube of iron, % feet in diam
eter, is made of cast iron plates
four inches thick. The track rests
upon succession of enormous steel
screw piles. Fastened to the top of
the piles is steel frame work com
posed of ties and rails, the whole
making q structure as solid as a
modern steel bridge.
The tube has a lining of concrete,
two feet, perforated on each side
with nests of six small tubes to ac-
commodate telegraph lines, signal
wires and the wires Of the block
system. There being two tunnels,
there will be no danger of collision.
Trains going out of New York will
use one and those coming in will
use the other. They are seventeen
feet in diameter, and lighted with
electricity. On the right mana 1oI
the entire distance is pathway, SO
that passengers can walk out of the
tunnel in case OF an accident. Thi:
precaution was suggested by re-
cent collision in a Paris tunnel
where the passengers were abso
lutely helpless and could not leave
the wreck. Along the side of this
walk is hand rail, which is not
only protection and support, but
is also water pipe, so arranged
that in case fire should break out
in one of the cars it could be in.
stantly flooded. There are ''refugt
niches," also ct frequent intervals
into which workmen can withdraw
while trains pass. There are nc
angles in the tunnel; only curves
so that if locomotive should gel
off the track it must glide along
against the side of the tunnel with
out meeting any resistance.
Work has commenced in the tun
mel.

EXPECT HOT RACE IN FIFTH DISTRICT Five Candidates Had Qualified
 Last Night
HEfLIN FEELS CONFIDENT
Now Thought That Each County In the District Will Furnish Can didate to Succeed
 Thompson.

Montgomery, March 24-(Special.)-The race for congress in the Fifth congress sional district promises an equal with the famous Sixth district contest. While the entries in the contest will not be closed until tomorrow night there seems to be every reason for belief that each county may put forth a candidate. Tonight, however, only five candidates have quail flied These are J. Thomas Hefiin or Chambers, D. H. Riddle of Coosa, Walter R. Smith of Clay, H. R. Golson of El- more and s. J. Catts of Lowndes. This is not all, however, who are expected to enter the contest. Word comes from Ran dolph that Col. w. A. Handley will en- ter the contest and likewise from Talla- poosa that pr. Goggins has congressional aspirations for couple of years. Some others are anticipated but of these there seems to be a doubt.
 Prof. H. J. Willingham of Fillmore, who was one of the most likely" of the can didates, said tonight that he was not in the race He is principal of the Fifth district agricultural school.
 As viewed in Montgomery, the race seems altogether a Hefiin victory. MT. Hehin has been here today, as has MT. Smith of Clay, MT. Golson of Fillmore and MT. Catts of Lowndes. There are also many prominent leaders from the district in the city.
 With these there is a general Hefiin tendency It appears that there is sem timent for Heflin as the successor to the lamented Thompson the two having been such close friends in the contests of the past. Tomorrow MT. Hefiin will open his campaign at Prattville and it is probable that MT. Smith of Clay will meet him in debate.

RRILROHD 6OMMISSIONERSHIP|
COMER DENIES THE
 CHARGES OF KNOX
SAYS IRREGULAR SHIPMENT OF FREIGHT TO FLOUR MILLS IN ALABAMA IS NOT ISSUE IN THE CAMPAIGN.

At the headquarters of B. B. Conner candidate for president of the railroad commission. the following statement was given out yesterday afternoon:
 MT B. B. Comers attention having been called to the published advertise ment of W. E. Knox, superintendent of the Louisville and Nashville ral2 oad. con cerning the irregular classification of flour as meal shipped from Carters Creek, Tenn, to him at Birmingham. Ala. in ls92, seeking to make 1t appear that he received an advantage of Sl36 in the mat ter of freight on the shipment, said that this four was bought by him, the freight to be paid by the Carter's Creek mill. En- der the contract he did not have to pay the freight on this flour. and received no benefit whatever from this irregular clas sification, as Is shown by the sworn state ment of his then clerk and manager c. R. Trousdale. which is here herewith submitted.
 ''The issue before the people of Alabama is not the irregular classification of a lot of freight made twelve years ago by shipper in Tennessee, from which he, MT. Conner derived no benefit; but is whether the people of the state shall longer sub init to the extortionate freight rates and unjust and arbitrary rules enforced by the railroads. for one of which MT W. F.. Knox is the superintendent.
 And further, whether the people shall control the affairs of the state or sur render it to the railroads, who have domi- mated and controlled them for the past twenty years. and who are now, through their high officials, seeking by every means to prejudice the people against the only candidate who has called their attention to extortionate charges and un- just determinations, and who IS seeking. by his candidacy. to establish in Alabama rates similar to those now in force in Georgia. the Carolinas and other pro- gresslye states. and which have proven themselves to be not destructive to the railroads, but beneficial alike to the rail- roads and the people,"
