THE CAUSE OF THE STRIKES.
Assistant secretary Mccormick Declare
Thy Are Not the Result
Of Contraction.
Especial to the Dsmocrat.l


WASHINGTON. July 29.--In n recent inter-
view with the New York Tribune correspond
ent Assistant Secretary Mccormick charac-
terized as absurd the assertion that the re-
cent troubles leading to the strikes were
caused by the forcible contraction of tho cur
rcncy by Mr.. Sherman, and said that there
had beon no contraction OF the currency. In
proof of this he cited the debt statement,
which shows the amount Of money deposited
with the government for safe keeping, with
out interest, to July to be So, ,967 900. and on
July 49, $50, ,5S5, 900, or nearly one fifth of all
the United States notes
Tho Treasury has no information that there
Is anywhere In tho country scarcity of cur
lrency. 1t Is Idle currency and not want of
currency that is the trouble, caused, first, by
The want of confidence, owing to enormous
losses In all kinds of Investments made dur
ing the period of great initiation: second a
falling off In the demand for manufactured
|products. especially Of iron. These opinions
are believed to be in accordance with those
iield by Secretary Sherman himself.

THOMAS PICKETT.
His Infatuati0n for New Orleans and How
He Felt When Abroad

His Infatuati0n for New Orleans and How
He Felt When Abroad.
Thomas Pickett. who arrived In this city few
days ago in charge Of Detective Hennessey from
81. Louis, and who ia now confined in the Parish
Prison On charge Of having killed Knuckley and
Lowe, some two years ago, at the corner Of Ely
sian Fields and Old Levee streets, while in con-
versstion With party in the visiting room Of the
prison gave history Of what he saw and where
he went after killing Knnckley and Lowe. Among
other things, he raid that after the killing
he left town and remained away two months,
when he returned to this city. He remained in
town some three weeks. end fearing arrest he
thought it best to Jump again. He went steam
boating, but, strange to say, no sooner had he
left New Orleans than hs ionged to return again.
Since the date OF mis- crime be came to this city
four times, and on one occasion he opened
small store en- Magazine street, near Upperline.
Ia neighborhood where hs was not known and
carrifd on business there for some months unde-
tected.
ri kett saws that his arr ct in this CITY was bus
question OF time, had he not been captured In
st. Louis, as he was born and raised here and
said, to use his own words, There is something
about this place that makes fellow feel home
sick when he stays away for any length Of time.
and he longs 10 get back"
IL will be seen from this conversation that
Pickett rather than have renamed ayay from
here for any length Of time, would sooner have
returned and run the CHI pces Of being captured
by the police, and perhaps of remaining in iaiI
for the balance Of his days.

country that they won't let persons do 90 thor
wish, as was exemplifed In this woman's case.
at rs O'Clock last evening Mrs. Baptiste boarisd
the Fourth District ferryboas at the head OF Jack

OF the river she attempted 10 commit suicide by
jumping overheard. She was. however, discov-
cred and prevented from drowning herself
When stopped this Mrs. What You MAY. Gall. Her
was very indignant and said there were other
ierryboats besides that cne she coud Jump off of,
When the ferry boat landed at Jackson street this
wouid-be suicide went ashore and walked down
the levee She did not stop until she reached
the head OF Canal street and went aboard the
Canal street ferryboat. The boat had no sooner
maze her way into the stream than she again
tried to destroy herself by leaping overheard.
she was again discovered and rescued from q
watery grave.
When the boat returned from the trip the wo.
man was given In charge Of an officer, who
brought her to the Central Station. On reaching
the station she was interviewed, and she stated
that she did not intend to commit suicide; that
she had been abandoned by her hush and, who
was now. trying to prove that she was insane go
as to get possession OF q house that belonged to
her.
Chief Boylan, feeling sympathy fur the We
man, would not allow her TO be placed In a cell,
but permitted her to cit in the clerks office, and
instructed the turnkey to keep an eye on her.
Afer Mrs. WhatYou-M Ma y -Call-Her had sat
quietly for about an hour, che took it into her
head that she wanted to go home. The turnkey
demonstrated with her, and informed her that she
would be compelled to remain where she WAS
This was female that was not to be fooled
with, and drawing herself up to her full height,
said: u will get ont OF here or will burst every
darn thing there 10 in this pen."
