Ernest Clegg, the thirteen-year-Old
Philadelphia boy. who was taken from
two strangers in Louisville, Ky, after
he had been terribly beaten, returned
to his home, 25l2 North Fifth street,
yesterday afternoon. With his mother
and friends about him, the lad last
night told a remarkable story OF his

bruises, mute evidence Of the treat
ment he had received at The hands
of the beGgarS and hc was in a CoHdi-
ton bordering OF collapse for want Of
rest. His clothing, dirty ana torn,
barely covered his emaciated little
body.
The boy said that he iyst met the

President Elect TiIden.

In Harper's Weekly R. B. Brown, who was an attache of the supreme court in 1876, throws some light on the manner in which Samuel J. Tilden was thrown out or the presidency after receiving a plurality of 250,0o0 votes, and securing majority of the elect oral college.
 The electoral commission was to consist of five senators, five members of the house an. five justices of the supreme court. The supreme court of that period consisted of six republi- cans. two democrats and of one inde- pendent. David Davis of Illinois. Two republican justices and two demo- cratic justices were named in the bill, the four to select fifth justice. At this point it became an essential part to the conspiracy to get rid of Justice David Davis, and Justice Swayne was selected for the task. MT. Brown re- lates a conversation between the two Justices that he heard himself, as fol lows:
 .Swayne, these fellows want me to get off the bench. and while I am willing to leave the bench want your advice. You have always been my friend, our children have married, and I want you to tell me whether I should leave the bench and take this place in the senate"
 Some few minutes elapsed before Jus tice Swayne replied, and when he did so, he answered:
 Davis. you have stated that the judi ciary has become irksome to you. You intend to leave the bench in any event; you are still an active man and your abilities are such that it will lead to greater opportunities in the senate. You have had all you want of court, and I think you should accept this tender, &C., cept the place in the senate, and resign at once.'
 "Swayne." then replied Justice Davis, .'you are my friend and I will take your advice"
 That settled l.. The conspiracy be- came feasible at once. The fifth se- lection was Justice Bradley of New Jersey, who readily did the work cut out for him.
 MT. Brown goes on to say that short

Franks In Stao Hotel.

'The boys who attended the Elks' con- vention at Cincinnati are telling some racy stories of the fun they had while In the Ohio metropolis" said a young man about town. Perhaps some of the most interesting adventures were report ed to have occurred at a certain stag hotel an hostelry that is well known to all who have ever visited Cincinnati.
 "As there were no women about the hotel to be encountered the visiting Elks took things very comfortably and 1t was not at all unsual to see a fellow wrap a sheet about him and come pattering down stairs to get drink, shave or a cigar. I dare say that such proceedings would not have been countenaneed at any other time, but while the Elks were in town they were permitted to do pretty much as they pleased.
 q might add that the sheet incident was only one of many such escapedes that characterized the convention. It will be a long time before all the good stories are exhausted, and I dare say that the Elks will be telling about their adventures in Cincinnati when they start to Buffalo next year.

State Politics Involved.
fine Philadelnhin Inoilirer

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
 New York state politics Is playing a considerable hand in the presidency President Roosevelt Is deslrous of strengthening the republican party in the state by making a wise choice for the governorship. He has done his best to get Root to consent Odell has been very much opposed to Root, and the latter has declared upon several occasions that he could not agree to become candidate Only a day or two ago-it was on Thurs day-there was a conference of repu5- lican leaders at the state headquarters in New York City. during which a letter was read from Root, again declining. Nevertheless, there seems to be a belief that his decision is not final and can be changed. and Odell for some reason has finally joined the ranks of those who have been urging him.
 Among the democrats the gubernatorial situation is much involved Tammany Murphy has been to see Parker. and 1t Is said that he was not backward In ex- pressing his likes and dislikes. He wants his Brooklyn foe, McCarren, kept out of the craftsmanship of the executive com mittee, and if Tammany could be allowed to name the governor he thinks that the organization would work much harder for Parker.
 There Is going to be a real fight in New York, and 1t may be accepted as cer- tain that Tammany will be in 1t good and hard for the democracy.

Mistaken Sense of Humor.

T observed two young men walking down Second avenue yesterday afternoon who were clearly laboring under the im- pression that they were perpetrating a re- markedly funny joke" said policeman. Although 1t had ceased raining, these young men held over their heads a dilapi- dated umbrella, of which little remained except the frame and few tatters of .,lls and walking along arm in arm they in- dulged in prolonged mirth. But they were apparently the only persons in town who were amused.
 Now if these young men were trv,ns to win bet by exhibiting themselves ther.e may have been extenuating circum. stances, although personally I do not ad- mire such methods for making money. If they were merely out for the burmese of entertaining the public they made fail ure. It is painful sometimes to sec neo- pie give away to mistaken sense of hu- mor.''

ly after MT. Hayes became President J--dge Davis, then a senator, came into the office of the clerk of the supreme court, and met there Senator Edmunds. We give MT Browns own words |: Judge Davis said in the hearing of the writer; Edmunds, it's a good thing that you fellows got me off the supreme court. If I had been there I would have been a member of the com mission, and if l had been a member of the commission I would have voted Louisiana for Tilden, if it was only to show my .ndependence.'
 There is no reason for doubting MT. Browns statements. They do not in fact add anything new to the story of the political game of twenty-eight years ago, but they put 1t in a clearer light, and no doubt Mr. brown has presented historic material. The busting of MT. Tilden and the seating of MT. Hayes was the most daring political crime ever attempted in this country, and history will deal with it at great length and with un, sparing severity.

GREAT IS ALABAMA.
Mayor Blackwell of New Decatur Talks
 of States Resources.

From the Washington Post
 "The report of Alabamas coal re- sources reads like a fairy tale," said MT. Samuel Blackwell of New Decatur Ala, at the Raleigh. Were all the coal within It's borders evenly distributed it would cover the whole area of the state for a depth of two feet. Another idea of the astounding quantity may be obtained from the statement of scientists that there Is enough coal in Alabama to meet the whole worlds wants for 175 years at the present rate of consumption. The mere expense of mining these vast de- posts would not be less than SSO,0OO, GOO GOO, a sum so stupendous as to be almost be- yond human conception.
 "rhe possession of these big coal fields. and likewise of enormous ore deposits, points unerringly to Alabama as the fu- ture great center of iron and steel pro- duction Nowhere else in the world can these metals be produced so cheaply as in our state. Even now, despite the quiet condition of the trade, production goes on in the Birmingham district with but little diminution of volume. The state is prosperous in every way. The banks have more money then ever before, and there is every indication of a big crop. It is probably no exaggeration to say that the south is at present the most prosper ous section of the Union."

West Vlralnla Coal.

The third cargo of coal has arrived at Pensacola for the uses of the navy and navy yard. The government pre- fers coal from Baltimore, mined in Maryland or West Virginia, to Ala bama coal. Not that there is more steam-making power In the former, but there are more Elkinses behind it.
 The entire country, including the navy, is being exploited to find mar ket for West Virginia coal and coke, and very poor stuff much of it is. Rail- road rates are cut in favor of it, and no stone Is left unturned to market it. But the unkindest cut of all is the un- loading of the stuff at Pensacola to supply the North Atlantic fleet. Presi- dent Parker will, let us trust, see that Alabama coal has chance in it's own territory.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Strenuous Dog.

We have all heard of the black cat and it's nine llves." said man about town last night, "and the belief is prevalent that the cat has stronger hold on the little spark of vitality than any other animal. held to that opinion myself un- til after witnessing the experience of a little fox terrier few evening ago. It oe- cured on one of the residence streets of the city.
 The little dog was playing on the op- posite side of the street from the children to Wfom he belonged. the children called him and he started to run across the street in front of a fast car. The car was moving rapidly, however, and the canine was caught under the trucks in some manner and carried about a hundred feet before he succeeded In ex- trlcating himself. He was covered with dust and very much frightened, but ap- parently absolutely unharmed. The chil- dren took him up in arms with exelama- tons of delight and bore him to the near by home.
 Tt seems to me that dog, after being whirled along beneath the trucks of a trolley car, and emerges unscarred. should take precedence In the line of strenuous animals above the black cat"

Mir. cIeveIand's Endorsement.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 The hearty approval given by ex-Presi- dent Cleveland to the nomination of Judge Parker for President has been warmly approved by a good many of the news papers of the country It is a good thing for all the elements of democracy to get together. Many democrats. and perhaps more republicans, who are tired of their own administration, thought MT. Cleve- land should have been the democratic nominee at St. Louis. He had elements of strength in certain directions that might not be reached by any other man. His cooperation in behalf of Judge Parker will be deeply appreciated. Democrats will be content, for the present. If he ratifies the nomination of Parker without giving any reason why he does so.
 It is the proper thing for a democrat to suppoN, the democratic nominee lon gen. eral principles" Alton B.

Professional Politicians Shown Up.

From the New York Evening Post
 But what amaze he struck into the hearts of all the professional politicians! An honest man saying In plain language that he declined presidential nomina- ton already made, unless his convictions and his honor were cleared-why, incredi- ble! The telegram must be a forgery. Even the Western Union questioned 1t. Nobody at St. Louis would believe 1t genuine till verified. Hills first cry was Suppress it!'' As well try to suppress Pikes Peak. A man had stood forth. A mystery Senator Beveridge had sneer- ingly called him; the real mystery Is why the expert and tortuous politicians do not vet, any more than in Burke's day, know their own trade. They plot and burrow and crawl and sneak and compromise, when along comes an unknown man with a clear gray eye and square jaw and, by one honest word, shatters their ma chinations. and leaves them covered with modification and ridlcule. It is braverys simple gravltation drawing the whole world again.
