son with having given Hall $500 in
1890! to influence members of the
County Court, which sum Hall is re-
ported to have said he returned be-
cause, he could not deliver the goods,

Democratic papers of Wheeling and
Charleston.

CHICAGO, May 17.-Prospects for
the end of the teamsters, strike have

President Gompers Of the American

timony before the grand jury. Per.
sonally, he said. he was unfamiliar
with what had transpired in the
grand jury room, and he had heard
that Hall had denied making the
statements attributed to him. If
Hall had said what the Gazette had
quoted him as saying, however, the
charges were ridiculous on their
face, and wholly untrue.
According to the published account
Hall testified that the governor five
years ago gave him $4,000 with which
he was to influence members Of the
county court in choosing election com
missloners selected by Mr.. Dawson
Hall Is alleged to have stated that he
could not attain that object and gave
the money back to Mr.. Dawson. In
regard to this Mr.. Dawson said:
Testified Falsely.

behalf of each Site. and each has its
objections. The Watson lot is con.
sidered the more. accessible for the
majority of the school population at
the present time, especially in the
absence of a bridge across the ravine
from Fourth to Fifth ward at First
or Second streets. Expression was
given by members Of the board that
were a substantial bridge assured
from First street, Fourth ward, to
Locust avenue, the Ramage lot would
be considered preferable to the other.
The Ramage lot is considered supe.

fine showing. The large grounds
could be beautified until the surround.
