At that time It wa* Insisted upon by
Judge lhtwroueo iiml his followers that
it reduetlou of tho tariff meant death

of no protection lit nil, was something
loo horrible for them to contemplate.
Hut Hint horrible possibility was mad,
a fact by the now tariff law. Any

They knew, of course, that tho prtco of

are ftn Ideal carpet, chaste In design,

and, beat of all, law In price—undoubtedly
tho beat value In any make aver offered In

These curpota nro offered at gl.TJ a

avc offered at $1.58.
When It Is remembered tirnt carpets

Mr. Clarke in his address apoke In

navigation from Mobile to Columbus,

ing locks and dams on the same scale.
The Coosa rlverbetween Wetumpka nnd
lock No. 4. 116 miles from the latter
lock to a point 105 miles above Rome,
Go., 293 miles In all. The river has been
Improved by the government and In now
regularly navigated by steamboats. On
the opening of the 116 miles there will
be a navigable water way 775 miles
long from northwestern Georgia to salt
Mobile. It will .pass through
a rich agricultural region of Georgia,
through the very rlcheet of Alabama
and will cut through the coal, iron and
marble deposits of the Coosa field.

Nerw Orleans, Aug. 31.—After induct
ing eleven members of the city council,
including It* president, besides the city
engineer, the term of the grand jury
expired today nnd it was discharged by
Molezse after reuniting their report,
which is u most scatohlng denuncbuion
of crookedness rampant in the dStjr
'iurii, -and explains Wny several Irfdict-
m ni.-i which . ;•(• expecto cv.-r- n>>: t »
be found, owing to the un'abllky to gtH
evidence on which 'a cotwJctJon In the
court would be certain fallow.
The flr»t sub>ect treated of Is' the
sale of bhe iU*ii\>od franchises by the
city council for ridiculously vyw-prices.
Am *nve«Wgattlon of Whe books of the
New rieans Tractkm Company, which
now owns nearly aW of the iskreet car
llneu in the cKy, shows remarkable o?jb-
crepancriea. For tnalantee, there te u
stvle of inn extension of the franchise
of ghe -New Orleans Cky and Lou^lama
railroad for whLtoh the city received
$700,000. The Traction. Com pony’s bboks
^h*ow 'bhak 3800,000 iwas paid to Henrv
T. Bier, ‘the broker, besides a< oomml-
sion of 80,000. Tine ooks of Mr. B^r
do.nbt show where xhe extra 3100,000
ent to. tamd he could not produce 'ilia

dlsu.pp«arunoe of 306,000, which Wu*
paid to 'MauKce J. Hart, Who Is ^he
xntaiva'ger oT .Jhe Roseijia Graved 0>m-
pany, and who Is generally supposed to
have cnB'ln'eered the r<Mroad’v9 deal
through 'Live council. The gnwel com
pany’s books do nbt show irny entries
of these checks.
As to the contracts, the report refers
■to the Jail contract and recites «A1 the
crookedness connected witii fct. A deal

with thte contract »wau said -to h*ave
nt*j;ed the .members of ‘the special com
mittee of council 35,000 Who favored
egishufon In 'the interest of a certuan
paving contractor, Is strongly com
mented on, but there w.ik no possibility
of getting ait sufficient evidence to tn-
diet for rtfbery. * . ^
The fact th-a-'t noh one member of the
city council responded to 'the request
of the grand ury -to asswst tn exposing
crookedness Is cited, .and 'the new gar
bage scheme is vt&crousty denounced.
