a MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING HIS wiFB-PEoBABLE
MURDER IN GREENE-sT.
Coroner Kessler held an inquest, yesterday,
an the case of Mrs Muholland. who died at No. $40
P,rstaye on the 9th nst under circumstances which
appeared lead 10 the belief that her death the
result OF violence the part of her husband, Thomas
Muiholland. Many witnesses examined. princi-
paIiy the occupants of the house In which the
deceased ard her husband lived. 1t was shown
that Mulholland often came home drunk. and
heat and abused his wife, who according to
the evidence, was a sober, industrious woman.
None Of the Witnesses however, had the prisoner
offer violence TO his wife any later than two weeks be-
fore her death, shortly before which the prisoner him
seb announced that she dying. and went for a
doctor. The most important evidence was that OF Dr.
Leo who deposcd that upon making examination OF
the body he found that there compound fractures
of the ribs and that portions of bone had penetrated the
lungs and the pericardium causing hemorrhage. the
Jury found that the injuries which we've the cause Of
death were presumably inflicted by the husband, and
committed him TO await the action Of the
Grand Jury
Nelly Walsh an inmate Of house in Grecne-st., who
was assaulted and dangerously wounded on Saturday
evening by Bernard Cappenburgh, is said to ne dying

from using it again, and during the struggle for its
possession the instrument was broken. CiappeDburgh

her accusing her OF endeavOrDg to get the first floor Of
the house away from him. The injured woman was
picked unconscious and s now lying at the point OF
death. Cllppenburgh was arrested ana is held To await
the result of his victims wounds The prisoner occupied

A SLIGHT FAMILY JAR.
The BrOther-tn-Law Of senator Patter.
son Arrested for Forging the Name
of Honest John.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 16.-Dr.
Thomas J. Moore, brother-in-law of Sen
ator John j. Patterson, was arrested here
last night on charge of forgery. File
browne, ths chief clerk Of Comptroller
Hoge, discounted in September last, note
of MoOre's endorsed by Patterson, amount
ing to $500. Patterson declares his sig
nature forgery, and Fillebrowne has had
Moore arrested, and he is now in Jail.
There has been bad blood between Moore
and Patterson for several months, and
Moore has been threatening to disclose
some damaging facts about Honest John in
relation to bribery in the Senatorial cleo
ton and other matters. Patterson is I'M
derstoOd to be the instigator of the arrest,
whether with view to ayenge the majesty
of the law, even though his own brOther-in-
law be the victim, or for the purpose of
frightening Moore from his threatening dis
closures, the future must determine.

GEN. GARFIELD, of Ohio, expressed
the opinion in an interview with cor
respondent Of the Nelv York Tribune
the other day in Washington, that the
bankrupt law, or at least the involun-
tary features of it, would be repealed
early in the coming session of Con-
gress. He represents the demand for
repeal in business circles as almost
unanimous, since the operation
of the involuntary clause, which
enables a creditor to throw a
debtor into bankruptcy who does not
meet his obligations promptly, without
regard to his real solyency, is often I'M
just and injurious in ordinary times,
but in monetary crisis it is 9articu-
larly so. The General expects to see a
food of financial measures introduced
at the beginning of the session, most of
which will be visionary and valueless. He
has found from long experience, that
the confidence with which Congressman
support such schemes is in pretty exact
inverse ratio to their knowledge of the
subjects involved The sea of talk
upon which both houses win launch.
will, he believes, effectually drown most
of these bills and perhaps save the
country from the evils of ignorant and
precipitate legislation. The great dam
ger, he thinks, is that bill for the in
fation of the currency by the issue of
more greenbacks, will berushed through
at the outset, without much considera-
ton. He has no doubt that strong
pressure Will be brought to bear for
such measure, and that large num-
Der of the new members will favor it.
Gen. Garfeid's fears are shared by
large number of thinking, prudent men.

Before the war between France and
Germany, on April z, 1870, the Bank
of France had coin and bullion to the
amount of S251 100000. Its circulating
notes were $3.50, 000,O 900, and It's depos-
its $3.50, 100000. 1t will be seen that
its specie vas nearly equal to its circu-
lation. and it's rate OF interest Gil Gis-
counts was two and half per cent. 1t
wasregarded as the greatest and strong
est bank in the world. So late as Oct.
%, 1873, it had S145,000,00O specie in
its vaults, with circulation, increased
by the war to 1898, 100000 and $780,
600, 900 deposits. 1t has not suspended
specie payments in many years. The
trouble with our currency system is
that it is too full of gas without SUBJ
stance. 1t goes up like rocket and
comes down like a stick. Thousands
of poor families are now thrown out of
work and wages at the commencement
of winter when employment and in
come are most needed. Our banking
system is VIGOROUSLY rotten at the core.
Give it more gold and silver as basis,
whether the Government issues its pa
per or corporations. Clip the wings Of
our soaring credit and let us trade on
the wealth of continent in hand
not in expectancy.

The HaUdnd Didrio of Nov. s, pub
fishes the names of one hundred and
three flibusters captured upon the
steamer Virginius. The names that
indicate a likelihood Of American citi-
zenship are Jose A. Smith, Gen. Ryan,
VIM. Curtis, Samuel Hall, S. Gray,
Sidney Robertson, Geo. Winters, VIM.
Marshall and George Burke; also Jose
Ignaoio Lamar and Francisco Costello,
in which the given names are merely
made Spanish, as well as Philip Abees-
Ter, which sounds Flemish. The DidriO
gives the number of the crew at sixty
three. Yesterdays dispatches stated
that all the crew except eighteen had
been shot. This makes slaughter of
forty-fye sailors, the great majority OF
whom probably cared little for the
cause, and were merely labOring at their
'trade" for the support of themselves
and families.

lost none of its olden fire:
viii the land # Patrick Henry.

geance upon the cruel enemies of the
human race, who rule and reign in
Cuba? We trust not. This is no time
for empty apologies. Spain cannot
give what she hath taken away. The
heroes of the Virginius who imperiled
their lives and fortunes in the cause of
Cuban independence, sleep the sleep
that knows no waking" But great will
be the "recompense Of their reward, -
if, in their death an independent State
is made alive, and the blessings of lib
erty secured to hundreds and thousands

people of the most beautiful island of

THE GOOD WORK GOES ON.

The signs of the times indicate that
the grave of the Republican party is
dug, and it's body is now being prepared
for interment with haste that strikes
terror to the hearts of her leaders.
California, Ohio, Wisconsin, New York
and Illinois gave Grant heavy MAORI
ties in 1868 and 1872, but on the 4th of
this month this party was routed, and
these States went for the anti Repubi-
can and Democratic ticket. Virginia
redeems herself, and gives majority
against the Republican party. Yet this
State was carried by Grant last year.
Kansas, Massachusetts,, Iowa and New
Jersey, though yet Republican, lose
four-ffths of their usual majorities.
Mississippi alone hangs on to the party,
and continues firm in the faith.-Tren-

MINERALS IN WATER AND DEATH

Prof. Chandler delivered an address
ON the chemistry of water used for cul-
mary and drinking purposes, before
the American Health Association, IN
New York, in which he cites tables OF
death rates compiled by DIR. Letherby,
of England, to prove that the more
lime and magnesia salts spring or river
water contains, the longer the people
live who consume it. He says:
I'm townso England and Scotland
where the hardness of water is 10 grains
to the gallon, the death rate is q $40;
where the hardness is grains the death
rate is "a $40, and where it is 3 $40,
the death rate is 26 in the LOCO. tire
quires a very large quantity OF mineral
impurities In water to make them OBJ
jectionable. Water might contain
thirty five grains of mineral matter to
the gallon and not be objectionable,
and that is very rarely reached by any
city supply. With regard to the or
ganic impurities in water, living plants
are rarely Objectionable; on the con-
trary they are often advantageous. Ger
tain plants purify the water, for they bib
crate oxygen-ozonized oxygen-whlch
is of the best kind. 1t very rarely oc-
ours that the living animals In water
are Objectionable 1t is impossible to
get sample Of river or Lake water that
does not contain living animals; but
these are almost In every case harmless.
1t has happened that parasitic worms
have been introduced into the body by
drinking water, and it is said that one
sixth Of the deaths ia Iceland occur
from this cause"
Considering the great variety OF
mineral compounds soluble In water,
and often found in solution, and the
equally large number of plants and ami
mails that live in the same water, It is
not only natural, but necessary, that
these things should not absolutely
poison this fluid in its relations to hui
man life, or life in aay Of its higher
FORMS But is life in warm-bloeded
animals, including man, dependent on
water ia springs, lakes, ponds and
rivers for any salts of lime and magpesla
found in their bones or flesh? Mans dali
lyfood supplies these earthly minerals.
We have no doubt that DR.. Letherby is
mistaken in the opinion that the in
crease of lime in drinking water makes
ii better or promotes longevity. Life
is heightened by other sanitary agents
and influence in spite of the adverse
action of impure water. Families that
have ceased to use water that is highly
charged with salts of lime, soda and
magnesia, taken from the ground, and
used filtered rain water instead, haye
found great benefit from the change.
Our rotten limestone rocks, soils and
waters do not exist in England, neither
does our climate, fora and fEdpa.
England has no milk sickness, nor yell
low fever, and cannot raise either corn,
cotton or sweet-potatoes. Prof. Chand
Ter is in error in his too large induc-
ton. Water for human consumption
is best with all organisms, whether
plant or animal, and all minerals left
out.
