SHALL IT BE PERPETUATEDs

This is the system Of the national
banks: A capitalist purchases 100000
worth of Government bonds. He de-
posts them in the Treasury at Wash
Ington, and receives thereafter, say,
$1,000 a year in gold. The Govern
ment gives him IN return $4,000 IN
national bank currency, which 1t has
printed at the peoples expense. That
$50, 900 the man who has started
the national bank lends out at
from twelve to fifteen per cent. year.
Thus upon his 100000 he receives
nearly twenty per cent. income The
txmer, with bis labor included, helps
nav It out Of his income Of two or three
neT oeut. upon the capital invested.
The Gov. eminent could issue the $780,
600 in gree backs necessary to take up
the 100000 IN bonds, and save that IN
terest: but the Republican party refuse
to permit it to be done. The United
States must not issue its money direct
ly, but must pay privilege lew s0,GOO
a year on every 100000 put II elrcula'
ton.

Chicago Tribune.
For ingenuity and holiness COM
blned, st. Louis records an instance
which stands way up in the first part
Of the class. The swindle in question
was detected by Mr.. J. K. Cummings,
proprietor of the st. Louis glass-works.
At an early hour a young man Of
busness-like air called at the house Of
Mr., Cummings. Next the early visitor
brought forth a book. He gave the
book and the two envelopes at the
door, telling the servant to deliver the
book to Mr.. Cummings and have him
sign for the kilograms. As the tele-
grams were prepaid, he had no hesita-
ton In signing on page, where the
book was made to open by means Of
an elastic band. The numbers on the
kilograms were written, and opposite
each of these numbers, further to-
ward the edge Of the page, was a
rectangle enclosed IN black border, Of
sufficient dimensions to admit a long
signature. Over each Of these rectan-
giles was printed the word signature
in large black letters. Mr.. Cummings
unsuspiciously wrote his name within
the first rectangle, and was proceeding
to do likewise In the one below, when
he noticed that that part Of the paper
touched by his pen appeared to move
slightly, while the rest of the leaf re-
NAMED stationary. This looked queer,
and Mr.. Cummings looked closer at the
book, and discovered an ingenious
fraud. That part of the leaf which was
enclosed IN the lower portion
Of the rectangies had been carefully
and smoothly cut out, and with a white
background, 1t was very difficult to
discover that the leaf was not perfect
That part In the interior of The upper
rectangle had been cutabOve and below,
leaving the ends intact, so that a piece Of
paper could be slipped IN through the
slit on one side and out at the other,
thus filling the space with a counter
felt blank for the reception Of the sig
nature. a blank check of the Butch.
ers' and Drovers' Bank, IN which IN
stitutiOn Mr.. Cummings keeps his
bank account, had been very ingeni-
Ously folded and placed under the leaf,
50 that, while the line for the signature
of the check came directly into the
lower rectangle, the other end Of the
check passed through the slips above
In such way as to present to the signer
Just that portion of the check where an
endorsement is usually written. When
Mr.. Cummings signed the first blank
he endorsed the check, and, had he
signed the other, he would have given
his signature to the check. Had the
check been fastened by a little muci-
lage, so as to keep its place, it ishighly
probable that the discovery would not
have been made. Mr.. Cummings, as
soon as he saw the fraud. ran to the
door and called to the servant girl to
hold the messenger for a moment till
he could get down, but the young man,
who was, Of course, eagerly watching
for any signal Of danger, dashed out in
the street and made his escape.

New York Herald, June 16.
Yesterday morning, IN answer to the
subpenas served upon them both,
Loader and Price appeared at Judge
Morris Office Loader was asked as
Pricecam in and before he had an OPP
portunity to converse with him, if he
recognized Price. He replied, Yes,
that's the man that worked with me In
Tilton's house, and he does not seem
to have changed much IN appearance
for the last five or SIX years" Price,
Immediately upon seeing Loader, shook
hands with him, at the same time -ex-
pressing surprise that they should both
meet again under such circumstances
and after such a lapse Of time
Their afidavits were subsequently
obtained, In which they fully and most
completely confirm, under oath, all the
statements contained N the reports of
the interviews with them, as contained
in the Herald of Monday.

WHAT JUDGE FULLERTON SAYS
After the adjournment of the court
conversation was had With Judge Eul-
lerton and his opinion asked as to
what course he and his colleagues In.
tended to take, and whether they had
concluded to make a motion to reopen
the case. He said that after cons lit
lng together they had all come to the
conclusion that they would have to do
so. They had all read the attidavits Of
Price and Loader. and the testimony
they gave appears so straight and bears
such an impress Of truth that nothing
else could be done. He did not think,
however, he said, that the motion would
be made to-day for many reasons, but
that the question would, in all proba-
biIity, bebrought up on Thursday. That
point, however, he said had yet TO be
determined.
Mr.. BEACH's OPINION.
Mr.. Beach, yesterday afternoon after
the adjournment, was also heard to give
a decided opinion that thenew evidence
would be admitted. He read a letter
IN the presence Of Theodore TiltOn and
others which he had written to friend,
in which he used the following terms;

TERRE HAUTE, June 1S.-Two execu-
tiOns tIanspired in this vicinity to-day.
On the evening Of Aug. 20, 1874, the body

cut clean across. Search was instituted
for the perpetratOT, and he was, after many
trails had been worked, arrested at

derer. The woman had been his wife.
Strenuous efforts have been made to secure
a Communication Of sentence, but Gov.
Beveridge was firm, and he was executed
to-day. He assembled the scaffOld with a
firm step, and addressed the crowd saying
he was dying happily; that he was au in
nOcent man, and that the people were to
blame for numbering him. He made a
confession shortly after his arrest, but af-
terward maintained his innocence.

denying his guilt. Although he has here
tOfOre published a confession, he denied
that be had written it or caused the same
20 be written, and denounced it as q forgery.
He was visited during the day by ministers
Of the gospel and other friends. He refused
to Join any sect. The execution took place
in an enclosure adjoining the EfIingham

The Future Great City" Under
Water.
Between 3 and o'clock this morning,
the heaviest ard most destructive rain storm
occurred that has taken place for many
years. The rain fell in perfect torrents for
two or three hours, and many parts Of the
city were inundated, the sewers being in
capable Of carrying of the immense guam
tity of water that fell. There was also a
high wind and the lightning was inceSsant.
The damage is very heavy. In some places,
property was wholly destroyed. The
stable of Geo. E. Finch, corner Of Main
and Wright streets, containing 3 horses
and buggy, valued at $1,000, was struck
by lightning and consumed. A row OF
dwellings on Wash street, between Twen-
ty-first and Twenty-second streets, were so
damaged that it IS supposed they will have
to be almost entirely taken down.
Near Grand Avenue Station, on the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad, the water was so deep
that a tenement house was entirely sub
merged. Further down the railroad the
water was twenty feet deep. Around the
machine shops of the railroad company the
water was also deep, and rushed through
the shops. Extensive lime sheds, at the
corner of Seventh and Victor streets ig-
nited by Stacking Of the lime, and were
/ consumed. The basement of the dry
| goods house of Crow, McCreery d Co., cor
ner OF Fifth and st. Charles streets,
was flooded, and a considerable
quantity Of goods damaged. Other houses
suffered heavily in the vicinity Of a hollow
/ into. which water from several ad-
! jacent streets runs. This neighbOrhOod is
/ made up Of one and two story houses, all
| Of which were more or less inundated
and the occupants forced to flee in their
night clothes to save their lives. A l5-inch
| pipe has been draining this locality since
| the storm, but this afternoon there is still
six feet Of water.
A number Of parties threaten to sue the
/ city for damages, on account of the meagre
capacity of the sewers. It will be many
days before hundueds Of houses in differ
/ cit Paris of the city can be made habitable.
