San Francisco Bribers
Hasten to Own Up.
Acknowledge Their Errors and
Now Seek Immunity.
Two Officials Caught Scared Into
Telling Whole Story.

San Francisco, March 21.-The indict-
ments returned yesterday against the
alleged municipal bribers followed skill
full work by Attorney Heney and De-
tective Burns, during the past week or
10 days. The entering wedge was driven
when Supervisors Lonergan and Box
ton were alleged to have been trapped
several days ago by Heney and Burns
in the act Of taking small bride. The
confession of all grating with which
they had been connected was followed
last Sunday by the confession of San
',erson to Heney at Palo Alto. Sander
son. a former schoolmate Of Heney,
when confronted by the latter with evil
dence already in hand, reluctantly adj
rnitted his part in the taking of bribes
With the confessions of these three,
supplemented by mass Of information
from other sources. the remainder OF
the supervisors except J.. J. Furrey
were summoned before the grand jury.
When confronted by the concessions Of
their colleagues it is said they literally
fell over each other to tell all they
knew and thereby secure possible i'm
inunity from prosecution. The supervis-
ors were Intercepted and sweated by

and corruption. 1t was largely on this
information that yesterdays indict-

Although q indictments have so far
been returned in connection with the
alleged telephone graft, Burns assert
ed that the proving Of the alleged graft
had just begun. During the grand Jury
session yesterday afternoon, E. H.

The Wires.

The telegraphers' strike has af.
fected the Western Union and rail-
road Office at Union City. The
wires have been detached as far as
this station is concerned, and train
orders are being received and for
warded from Rives and other points
on the M. & o. and N, c, & st. T..
railroads. The trouble is thought
to be Of a local character, although
we have not been informed of it's
nature. The equities involved in
the strike are somewhat complex,
and as it appears to us there are
good grounds for arbitration. In
fact that is the best way to settle
all disputes, but the arbiters should
be fair-m1nded and unbiased men.
The local Postal Office is also feel
ing the force of the strike. Miss
Anna Belle Bradshaw, the operator,
says that very few messages are
moving over the Postal line.

GRAvELED STREETS.
Mr.. Troy and His Grew Completing
Inh.


Next winter the streets of Union
City will be somewhat different in
character and appearance from
those which we had last winter.
Instead of mud and slush hub deep
and impossible we will be able to
drive over a surface of smooth
road, as even and hard as floor, a
revolution in street making and an
improvement worth many times the
cost TO any city or country.
First street is improved, graded
and graveled from the Whipple tile
factory to Washington avenue, con-
tinuing on Washington avenue to
the courthouse and from the court
house on Third street to the fair
grounds, leading north and south
through the heart of the city and
entering at the extreme boundaries.
Main street to the east boundary
line has a splendid graded and grav-
eled surface from curb to curb, the
best hard street III the city. Harri-
son street has also been transformed
into standard graveled street from
the opera house to Whites grocery
store nd from Whites grocery
store south by DR.. Edwards to the
south boundary. Home street has
been treated in the same manner
the other streets have been i'm
proved.
= The comments on the work are
that Mr.. Troy has given us some
fine work. Mr.. Troy is one of the
original street builders. He began
at Asheville and Biltrnore where
some of the first hard streets and
roads were built and some of the
best work done in the world. 1t is
the consensus OF opinion that our
streets are as complete and SUBJ
stantial as the Asheville or Jack
son streets.
1t is fine 'object lesson to the
county, and when the authorities
have spent few years experiments
ng with Obion County dirt there is
40 doubt that they will begin to agi-
tate the h ard roads in earnest.
they will be ready for it then, after
every thing else has failed.
