Willlam Lincberger, who is proprietor of a large choritable institution at Lake Manawa, is an all-round athlete, and he prides himself upon the fact. Monday night it cost him a suit of clothes and something more to demonstrate his ab:lity as a jumper, and even then he had sume doubt: as to whether the result of the test was all he might have wished for. He was standing on one of the boats near Grand Plaza, and the dock was about eighteen feet distant. After some d'scussion a wager was mude that Lineberger could not jump from the boat to the dock. After putting up the money in the hands of one of hiy friends he took a little run and jump. Just as he threw him- self upon the alr his foot slipped, and, in- stead of landing on the dock, he touched the bottom of the lake at a point where the water was about four feet deep. He lost the v, ruined a fine suit of clothes, had to set 'em up to the extent of about $4, and all for the rather dublous satisfaction of knowing that he had come within about five feet of beating the world's record for the running broad jump.

It bore the signature of his father, but when presented at the First National bank it was thrown out, as the signer had no funds there.

Later on he informed by Judge Aylesworth, one of the attorney in the case, that the injunction had been dis missed so far as Sage was concerned, and he accordingly proceeded to eject Sage.

It rained “cats and dogs” in Denver Tues- day night, as the grandmothers and maiden aunts put it. It did more, says the Denver News. It rained slimy reptiles of the lizard family, that gave sober men the chills to look upon, and sobered up the inebriated ones like a thousand Keeley cures condensed into one magnetic injection. They scamp- ered over the asphalt pavements, these tiles, looking like baby crocodiles. In the darkness nobody dared touch them; nobody knew what they were. They had just rained down, apparently. On’ Seventeenth street several dozen of them rained down, apparently. Near the Brown Palace hotel one of them was driven into the gutter with the tip of an umbrella handle, and finally edged along until it was made prisoner in a big-mouthed quart bottle. Under the light it proved a most repulsive looking object. It is about eight inches long, with four very active legs. It belongs to the lizard family. Its body is black, with regular markings of cream white. Its head is broad and flat, the nostrils wide apart, the mouth broad and set under. Its cyes are like beads and seem set upon instead of in the head, the whole eyeball being apparently ex- posed, It rears its head upon a flexible neck, much like a snake. The specimen brought to the News office was very quick in noticing every movement made abont it, and seemed ready for attack in its glass cage. Clearly, everything was new In its surroundings. It was seen shortly lefore midnight. The smooth asphalt, wet with (he rain, glistened under the electric lights, and over it darted the reptiles, making black streaks with their swiftly moving bodies that at once attracted the eye. Some disappeared in the cable slots; others darted over them and back and forth iu a bewildered sort of way, as if out of their element. They were. They had just roined down, apparently. Late wayfarers gazed in_astonishment, Men who abhor snakes and the like turned away without an attempt to inspect the rep- s closely. Men who court snakes and all of strange creatures bolted blindly, with the firm conviction that they had 'em at last. Others avoided the dark places, afraid of stepping on one of the scurrying reptiles. Nobody knew If they had a sting, it they could bite, if they were poisonous. How could they? They had just rained down, apparently. Else how {5 the sudden appearance of these reptiles upon the asphalt paved streets to be accounted for? There was an un- usually heavy shower soon after 11 o'clock, and it had scarcely ceased when the reptiles wera observed. How many there were it would be hard to estimate, even in the three blocks between the Albany and the Brown, while other section: of the city may have had a similar visitation But, however they came, they were pres- it in the life. The specimen captired for the News was as lively as a cricket at 3 o'clock next morning, but no one has been found sufficlently courageous to release it from the big bottle for a closer study of what sort of reptile it Is. e Thought She Had Lived Too Long.

MANY OLD ISSUES HAVE 'DISAPPEARED "o Question of Geography Will Cut a Very Large Figure Dotermining Result When the Hody Con- nes Todny. DES gram MOINES, July 24.—(Special Tele- to The Bee)—The arrivals of dele- gates to the republican state convention, which will meet tomorrow, were continued by every train today, and the night trans will finish bringing the largest attendance to any republican state convention in many years. The Interet in the convention Is greatly augmented by the feeling that the victory in November by a large majority Is almost assured, which fecling also accounts for the large number of candidates for the various offices. Aside from these good- natured contests there is harmony at all points, epectally on the liquor question which has caused so much discord and sev- eral defeats in the past Phe Martin mulet law Is working satisfac- torily in all parts of the state and for onco the platform is Lkely to remain silent on this que tion. On ail other questions, how- ever, there will be clear and outspoken senti- ment, _especially on the labor ques tion.” The national platform will be refter- ated on the tarift and silver questions These-matters are little talked about, how- ever, by the delegates all ready on the ground, every one being busy working for lis favorite candidates. The work is mostly g done quietly and an outsider has but little chance to learn the strength of the varicus cindidates. They are all good men all have strong friends at work for Che question of geogr arge figure in determining instanc it northwestern lo whieh has cand d for nearly all the contested places, succeeds in getting one of them, the others will have to give way on account of location, and the same is true of all other localities. It ieems to be a free-for-all all round, with very few, if any, combinations. Well known politicians who have been lobbying for years say that they never at- tended a convention and circulated in the lobbies an entire diy as they have today and knew so little of the probable outcome of the® various contests as they do tonight. It is practically impo sible to fix up a slate that will not be hopelessly broken when the convention meets phy will cut a very the result. For DUNLAP PART D KOYED BY 88 Destroved in n Very Brief Space of Time. DUNLAP, Ia., July (Special gram to The Bee)—About 11 o'clock night en alarm was turmed in, calling the fire department to Iowa avenue, where it proved inadequate to cope with a fire that was raging in the center of the principal business street of the town and in an hour's time one-half of an entire block was in ruins. The buildigs destroyed were seven in number and it is impossible at present to estimate the loss, The business houses destroyed were M. Jensen, meat market; Mrs. Wood, dress maker; Robert Porier, harness store; Mrs. Brien, dressmaker; Fred Reilier, furniture, and J. A. Phillips' land oftice, also a_vacant building belonging to' G. W. Chamberlain. At 12 o'clock the flames commenced to sub- side, and at 1 nothing but a few sparks re- mained.

Probably every person who has clothing “done up” at the laundries, public and pri- vate, has, at one time or another (probably very frequently), had some article come home In tztters, eaten up by some corrosive material used by the laundry people to save labor. I you make complaint you are told, with much show of Indignation, that ‘no chemicals, nothing bLut pure soap and water" are used in that laundry. ~ You know on such occasions that the party is lying, but you have no recourse, except to change laundries, and this is usually swapping the devil for a witch. In fact, you feel that you have been “done up” quite as effectively as your clothing. It is comforting to learn from the National Druggist that at last chemical ingenuity has shown itself equal to the task of proving the use of corrosives in the laundry, and that at least one laundry concern has come to grief. The hero of the affalr was M. A Schlumberger, who, for all of his Teutonic ame, is a Frenchman, residing in Paris He was recently consulted by a party who had been imposed on by his laundryman until forbearance ceased to be a virtue Brand new table cloths, napkins, shirts, etc., would go to the laundry whole and return in_tatters, 1 On looking at the .ayticles the chemist thought that they had been submitted to the actlon of Javel water. He therefore made a weak solution, of methylene blue and placed one of tha corroded articles in it. In a moment all around the burned spots the blue color fixed jtselt In the most in- tense manner, while the other parts were colored weakly. This was proof positive that his suspicions were corpect, and the courts subsequently Justifigd;, him by making the laundryman settle fqr the articies destroyed. he next case was, & Jiktle harder, The ar ticles sent to the laupdry were entirely new, but on being returngd wgre found to be eaten in spots. The test "II'M named would not work In this case, apd .since there was no evidence of chloring,, the chemist concluded that an acid had been used. After trying two or three re-agents he had recourse 1o a weak solution of brasjlein (C16 H12 05). He scattered a few drops of this around the burned or croded spots, and had the pleasure of seeing the rose color changed to yellow, showing that an acid had been used. Sub: sequently it was shown that the clothin baving been thrown carelessly into some re ceptacle, had become spotted with fron rust, and this latter had been removed by oxalic acid. Tube acid had been carelessly used, and had eaten oyt the fabric wherever it was applied In the absence of any statute sp bearing upon the subject, and in erce of the fact that the use by dries of Javel water, liquor calcls chlorin- atae and other like preparations, oxalic acld, etc., I8 almost universal, and that the laundries, without exception, disclaim the use of the corrosive and mischievous preparations, it would seem that the offend. ers might begeached under the statute pun Ishing the TUtaining of money under false pretenses, or made (. pay for goods thus destroyed under those regulating the mis Ruined fically the pres- the laun chievous and careless destruction of prop- erty. With the chemical means of proving the oftense at hand, a conviction ought to follow. The editor of the National Druggist (St. Loufs) will give his services as chem feal expert undertake a prosecution. — - ALL HONORABLE MEN (Continued from First Page.) produced in the United States during the year 1804 wnder license for 1894 and subject to the limitations now imposed by law, on all sugars testing not less than % degrees by the polariscope, nine-tenths of a cent per pound, and upon all such sugars testing less than 90 pir cent by the polariscope and not less than 80 degrees, eight-tenths of a cent per_pound Mr. Caffery then commended Senator Hiil for his defense of the presidint and declared there was nothing in the letter which need arouse the fire of the senators who felt themselves aggrieved, and the Louisianian declared it did not cail for the denunciations of the senator from Maryland. He then read an extract from that letter and commented upon it in favorable terms. Mr. Caffery de- clared the president was exonerated from the charge made against him by Mr. Gor- man. The very evidence adduced by Mr. Gorman, he sald, justified the president in writing the letter he had. There was abso lutely no truth fn the allozation that Mr Cleveland had violated the functions of his office in giving his views to the chairman of the ways and means committee. If the members of the finance committee had de nounced the bill, as they did in ing re tain features of the bill involved party sur render, how was it wrong for the president to charge “perfidy and dishonor?"

The time had come fo him to tell his story. He was at a little conference at which were present, am others, Messrs. Brice and Gorman. it decided at that conference that 40 per cent and 50 per cent on refined sugar was proper. ‘I took that mittee and continued schedule to the fi gave it to Scnator Jones," he “Mr. Jones, after caleulating, pointed out that in the’ differential_allowed the refiner was conceded a differential greater than the McKinley law. 1 thereupon withdrew it. After further consultation 1 presented another schedule, placing 1 cent on raw and 1% on refined So it remained for some time, when I was admon shed by Mr. Gorman and Mr. Drice that lis second schedule meant free sugar. Mr Jones told me the sugar refining interests would favor free sugar if the :chedule was insi ted upon. He wanted me to accept 40 per cent on raw and refiued and one-cighth differential on refined. That schedule was not acceptable to me or the sugar growers, and I want (he country to know it was dic tated by the refining interests. At last we accepted it, with the understanding the bounty provision for 1864 should stand. I called on Senat:rs Vest and Jones to say whether T have -aid the truth.” Neither of the senators replied. He con- tinued fo describe the subtle methods em ployed to emasculate the sugar schedule and defeat the bll. The ways of the senator from New York (Hill) were past finding out Upon his motion to make the schedule g into effect upon the passage of the bill :ome of the dem-crats jumped the track and vio lated their agreement. That was the fir time faith was broken with the Loulsia senators. What subtle force was thls, he a, that sought t, strike down the -ugar agriculturist and to throw its protectng about the gigantic sugar refining in- terest? He referred in sarcastic terms to Mr. G man's statement of yesterday thet however distasteful a duty on ugar was to himself and others they knew the two votes of the Louisiana senators were necessary to pass the bill. “You have told us the attitude of every body else. Will you tell us what the atti tude of the Louisana senators would have been if sugar had been placed on the free list?" asked Mr. Teller. “Frankly,” replied Mr. Caffery, “I will say It sugar had been placed on the free list we would have voted cgainst the bill.” He then proceeded to discuss the sugar schedule of the McKinley bill, and this brought out an animated debate on making between Senators Aldrich, Gray, Caffery and Allison. The latter stafed that it had been asserted about 86 per cent of sugars grown in Louisiana would receive the benefit of the one-eighth of a cent differen- tial. Mr. Caffery said the percentage would be_about 74. Mr. Caffery’s speech was still in progress when, at 3:05 o'clock, Mr. Ccckrell sceured recognition to move an adjournment, which motion was adopted, and the senate ad- Journed. ance com THE EDITOR CANDIDATE. Busy Life of Wm. M. Singerly, Democ atic Candidate for Governor of I'ennsylvank ditor William M. Singerly of the Phila- delpluia Record, whom the democrats of Pennsylvania have nominated for governor. is distinguished for rare courage, energy and great business ability. His paper, which he bought in 1877, when it was a feeble jour nal with a circulation of 6,000, and devel oped it into a great success, with a daily out- put of 163,000 copies, is only one of his ex- tensive business interests. He was for ten years in the produce commission busine after which he was engaged with his fathe Joseph Singerly, the orizinator of the Phila’ delphia Street railway system, in the man- agement of his lin Although he was a tariff reformer long before that issue b came a popular one, he fs himself an en- tensive manufacturer. He has for many years been interested in large woolen and cotton establishments, and has at Elkton, N J., one of the st paper and pulp mills in' the United Stales. He is a heavy real estate owner in Philadelphia, having erected over 1,000 houses there, in addition to a splendid home for his paper. Upon the re- tirement of Governor Pattison from office in 1887 Mr. Singerly took an active part in establishing the Chestnut Street Na- tional bank, of Which the ex governor became the first pr dent. Upon Mr. Pattison being called for a sccond time to the governorship of Pennsyl vania Mr. Singerly succeeded him as presi- dent of the bank, a position he still holds He is also president of the Chestnut Street Trust and Savings Fund company. In seck- ing for relaxation from the cares of busi- ness Mr. Singerly has for many years taken a keen interest in farming and stock raising. Notwithstanding the pressure of all the great interests upon him Mr. Singerly has always taken an ardent interest in politi and no man is better known by demo throughout the state than he. He has ne held office, however, except the honor position of commissioner of Fairmount park, in Philadelphia, a non-salaried office, which requires him to de e considerable time to the wants of that great pleasure ground.
