In New York, yesterday, the Bulletin reports
that 30 far as mercantile interests are concerned
the situation is still improving. There was a
tirmer tone to the foreign exchange market to-
day, and uptown merchants report that their
collections are improving.
Yesterdays New York Tribune contains the
following: Gold closed on Saturday at 109 1s, but
as payments fer coin bought at the Gold Ex-
change are made in certified checks, these figures
do not show the extreme decline in the precious
metal The fair average discount on certified
checks in exchange for greenbacks was u per
cent which reduces the real difference between
currency and gold to IA, or about one years i'm
terest, and silver coins OF haf-dollar aud under
could be obtained on Saturday, in exchange for
greenbaoks at par.
In Philadelphia, yesterday the Ledger OF to-
day reports the money market" quite dull The
large houses report their collections improving.
The banks are generally discounting to the ex-
tent of their ability, and are paying out currency
over the counter when it is required, as far as
they are able. But there is still short supply.
The Comptroller of the Currency yesterday
issued a circular calling upon all the National
banks to report their condition at the close of

Drawing a Crowd.

San Francisco paper relates the following
incident which recently occurred there, which
shows how easy it lis to collect crowd in large
city: "a man carrying upon his shoulder heavy
iron bar struck it against lsrge glass window
and broke the pane. The street was one where
loaded vehicles frequently passed, and 30 to pre-
vent the jarring from causing the cracks to ex-
tend, ring was drawn about the spot on the
glass with diamond point. Somebody caught
sight OF the shivered spot and the circle about
IL, and stopped to look. Another did likewise,
the crowd increased, and in short time four
policemen arrived ON the run, it having been re-
ported at headquarters that a pistol ball had
been fired into the Office aud that the place had
been robbed. or course the coning of the
police drew still larger crowd, and the office
was almost besieged. The excitement could not
be allayed and the crowd dispersed until a pla-
eird was hung up, giving the explanation of tine

A Wilmington Love Affair.

AN IRATE FATHER oHAsrIsEs woULDB soN-IN-
LAw-aREAT EXCITEMENT AND RECOURSE TO JUS
TIoE.
The unevenuess which is supposed to charac-
terize the of true love eliminated, yester-
day. in a street encounter between an unwilling
parent and his would-De son-in law. Since the
affair was transferred from the precincts of the
home circle to the public street, we can invade
no right in the recital of the case.
George Blundoa loved David Hennis' daugh-
ter and possessed her love in return. They
wished to wed, peaceably il they might, but for
chilly IL they must. But the parents of the
would-b bride were averse to the union, mainly
on the ground, we understand, OF the tender
ness of the age of their daughter, and although
the groom expectant was boarder in the fami-
ly he was denied all the opportunities for wooing
which his heart yearned for. So an elopement
was agreed upon, and the arrangements made
in detail.
When Mr. Hennis went home to dinner, yes
terday, the daughter was missing, and all inq1ir.
les failed to elicit any information relative to
her whereabouts. Finally Blundon was appeal
ed to, who replied somewhat dehantly that he
knew where the missing daughter was, and that
he was determined to marry her at all hazards
The scene that followed we shall not attempt to
describe but soon Mr. Henns instituted search
for his daughter, Bundon, in the meantime,
joining her at a house in King street
Mr.. Hennis footsteps were finally guided to
the place of hiding of his daughter, but when
he reached her he was confronted face to face,
by Bundon. High words led to blows, and the
two were engaged in a hand to hand struggle in
the presence of vast crowd. Hennis being
the more powerful of the two soon "sent his ad-
tagonist to grass" and the melee in the street
ended but was renewed in another form before
Eco Frazer. Blundon sued Hennis for an as
sault, but the case was dismissed and instead Of
having Hennis bound over to keep the peace,
Blundon was required to give bail in $500 for
court
Here the matter rests for the present, but the
love which has caused so much discomfort will
hardly slumber quietly even under parental un-
willingness and castigation.
