THAT MORGAN LIE.

Now it appears that Mr.. Goodwin

gan at the mouth of the Connecticut
RIVER at all and that the last time
they saw each other was at the dedi-
cation of the Memorial building given
by Mr.. Morgan to the city of Hart
ford some months ago. Thus another
hole is drilled in the Baldwin Fox
Chase conspiracy. Anyway, since
when has It been high treason for a
candidate to shake hands with his
second cousin Waterbury Repub-
lican.
These rumors about the presence
of Mr.. Morgan in Connecticut were
undoubtedly invented to injure Can

An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned at
the Birmingham police court by pris.
oner who gave himself away in very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one of being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, Just a the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
few of the cases which were to coma
before the court that morning, and a
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer a list of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreaking" the prisoner ex.
claimed excitedly, That was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be-
gan to laugh. and the prisoner, realiz.
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side OF the matter,
and a broad smile spread over his face,
His blunder did not cost anything.
