LOSE THE FRANCHISE.
Gadsden Waterworks Litigation is FL
nally Settled.

Gadsden. July A-(special.) 1.-THE thirty
Ayear water works franchise granted to w.
H. Weller and r. A. Mitchell by a
former board of aldermen of Gadsden and
(which was rescinded by the present board,
MAS been lost to these men. When the
franchise was resc1nded the men took an
appeal and filed a suit in the city court,
which was decided against the grantees.
They then took the case to the state SUI
preme court and now that court sustains
the lower court and the men have no fur
lther recourse.
The city officials. when they won the
case in the lower court held an election
for the issuance of 100000 worth Of bonds
| to build a city water plant and it carried
by a good vote, but Messrs Weller and
Mitchell got out an Injunction to prevent
the sale of bonds and this case is still
pending and Is the only thing in the way
of the city selling the bonds. II is thought
that just as soon as this injunction Is dis
solved the city will sell the bonds and
bald the water plant. especially as the

Van Buren, and Buchanan Each had
been secretary of state Monroe was sec

There was another cabinet officer who
became president said the veteran. You
forgot JEFF Davis. He was secretary OF
war in Pierce's administration. We all
know of what ne was president.
But nobody said anything After they
had shaken up the bag once more an old
bunker said that Tylers administration
took the cake for shake-ups in the cabi-
net. He ran off the names of four sec
retaries of state, four of the treasury, five
of war, five of the navy end three attor-
ney generals.

From the New York Sun.
A party at the Republican club were
talking about the presidents.
One said It was rather curious that no
presidential candidate and no president
had ever split his name in the middle.
One vice presidential candidate did so.
And he was named b. Gratz Brown
This reminded another that in the long
list of presidents there were only two
instances in which names had been du-
plicated-John Adams and John Quincy
Adams and William Henry Harrison and
Benjamin Harrison.
And In both instances they were of
kin" said another.
But there were two presidents" chimed
in veteran. who had the same Chris
tian name and whose family names be-
gan with the same letter. Andrew Jack
son and Andrew Johnson"
The man who started the talk recalled
that there had been three Johns in the
White House. He mentioned the two
Adamses and Tyler.
But James was the favorite Christian
name for presidents was the reply.
You may recall that we have had five

Garfield"

group.
'Have you overlooked the fact that we
had two Williams for president? ?" asked
the man who had recalled the five
Jameses. There were William Henry
Harrison and William Mckinley"
THAT reminds me-" quoth another,
that we had but two presidents who
signed both Christian names-John Quln-
cy Adams and William Henry Harrison
Eighteen of our presidents had no mid
die Christian names, or If they had they
never signed them. Mr.. Cleveland has

Roosevelt, had English names"
