A remarkable scene occurred at the close of
the Wieners murder trial in st. Louis,
recently. Wieners is a gigantic %rufian, for
merely the bouncer at the Theater Comique,
and the murderer nearly a year ago of a
young man named Lawrence in a fit of rage,
the tragedy taking place in the theater.
During the trial the aged father and a
very attractive sister of the prisoner have
been his constant attendants in the court.
The jury after being out but a short time
brought in a verdict Of murder in the first
degree. The court room was crowded.
When the verdict was announced the pris-
oner's sister burst into a paroxysm of
shrieks, and the entire family were removed
by order of the Court to a side room. The
father had listened to the verdict of guilty
but all at once he began a series of hoarse
and blasphemous cursing, in a fit of abso-
lutte temporary insanity. Then the
prisoner became frenzied and vic
lent, and had to be handcuffed, being
so taken to his cell. Meanwhile the father
had fallen in a fainting fit. The entire
scene was one of the most horrible ever
witnessed in a court room, occasioning q
general excitement. The verdict meets with
universal approval.

NEWS SUMMARY.
Washington

The Secretary of the Treasury, in a COM
munication to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, says the estimate of appro-
priations required for the military estab-
hshment for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1878, are furnished by the Secretary of War,
together with the special estimates Of other
e~fciencies and the appropriations required
by the several Executive Departments for
the current and fiscal year as follows: War
Department, $50, 4S6, 764; Library of Con-
gress, S22,S00; Court of Claims, $1,206,4 5S;
Post-ofice Department, 100000; Navy De-
partment, $2,OOS,S 61; Judicial, $262,535.
Total, $S6,s06, So6.66; Treasury Depart
ment, s273,ss1. Accompanying these
estimates are the following submitted by
the Secretary of War, without recommends
ton: Forts and Notifications, $2~,07S,000;
rivers and harbors, s1S,220,1oO. An estimate
of $1,031,453, for permanent annual appro-
priations is also submitted for the informa-
ton of Congress, but is not recommended.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue in
his annual report will not recommend any
change in taxation. The service is con
sidered generally very effective, and frauds,
particularly in the Northern States, very
limited. The report will recommend the
enforcement of laws against the illicit dis
tillation and manufacture of tobacco in the
South.
There being no export demand at present
for trade dollars, the Secretary Of the
Treasury has ordered the Director of the
Mint to discontinue the RECEIPT of deposits
therefor at the several MINIS, and a general
order TO that effect has been issued,
Director Linderman has written a letter on
the subject, replying to communications
urging the resembling of the order of dis
continuance. He says: "The discontinue
ance of its coinage is manifestly proper. The
trade dollar is not legal tender, and, should
the price of 81 yer at any time recede, it ma!
become troublesome to the holders. 1t
coinage under present circumstance give
depositors a profit which should be realized
by the public Treasury, as representing tn
people of the United States, which is con
trary to the spirit if not the letter of tn
law and sound public policy. The bullio,
or gold value of 420 grains standard silve
which is the weight of the trade dollar, il
at present, say 94x cents; add N cent
coinage charge, and we have, as the cost c
the trade dollar to the depositor, 95% cent
In exchanging the hard dollar for a dollar i
United States currency, the gold value @
which is 1888 cents, depositors realize a gal
of something over IL per cent. Shout
Congress hereafter authorize the coinage
the silver dollar for circulation, the govern
ment will no doubt furnish all that may b
required"

they do more harm than good; take a
