A citizen who should bo preparing

marks:
"Excuse me, sir, but you have lost
the set from your ring"

There is another movement on the
part OF tho passengers Some look
along tho seat, s0mo under il, and
some mako dive for pearl buttons

"Whon did y0n miss itf" asks ths

"A year and a hall ago when l wa

Railroad TrelUhta,

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The meeting
of railroad freight men to-day was
lively and at times demonstrative.
1t appears that the representatives Of
the Grand Trunk hold out against
the proposed schedule of east-bound
rates and are dissatisfied with the
present live stock arrangements.
Many railroad men are in town, ap-
parcntly on very important business,
but they refused to talk to reporters.
Responsible men predict raise of 5
cents on some freights and decline
of 5 cents on others. 1t is intended
to abolish the special class embody dying
all goods heretofore carried under
this heading, grades known as fourth
class, the rates of which are to be low
cred to meet the change. Many ar
ticlc heretofore carried as 4th class
will be transferred to Sd, and go ON
until the whole list is rearranged.

Strange Causes Of Suicide.

The recording of the different types
of suicides has been, with us, some-
thing of specially, and the exchang-
es Of to-day bring several novel cases.
In New York, an old man of seven
ty years hung himselfto the limb OF
a tree in cemetery near the grayc OF
his long departed wife. In Brooklyn,
a young man, who had lost policy
of III 900 by the failure of life in
surance company, stuck his head in a
wash-tub full of suds, and held il
there till he died. These are strange
cases, but from San Francisco comes
one wholly sui generis--unmatche
so far as we know, in the history OF
suicides. A forlorn wife, burdened
with domestic cares and disguised
with life, determined to depart for a
better world, and took for that pur-
pose bottle of corrosive sublimate
from the closet where the family
drugs were kept. Composing her.
self carefully on the bed, she drained
at one gulp huge goblet full, drop.
ped the glass to the floor, and folded
her hands on her breast, awaiting
death. She had anticipated the mosl
eycrnciating pain, as the terrible cor
rosive substance should act upon her
inwards, and marvelled greatly to
find, instead, sensation of delicious
bliss stealing over her whole system
Her spirit was wonderfully exalted
her vision rose and roamed at will
through all the gladsome memories

future life was rent, and that her epir.

suddenly entered, and exclaimed:

COLO.

ern democrats elevated it by going to
war to destroy the Union.
The remonitization Of silver by the
issuance OF sthat coin in place of the
greasy postal currency, has put in
circulation many thousands of dol
lars Of silver all over the country
which has boen boarded away in
banks and old stockings, simply be-
cause II was worth more than currcn-
Icy. The moment the government
note was appreciated to the value Of
the silver dollar, An immense amount
Of the latter money has been released
and entered the arteries Of trade and
commerce. This fact can be forcibly
illustrated by examining the dates Of
any handful of silver coins which you
may pick mp. A large portion Of
them will be found to be old ones is
sued years ago.
If the greenback and imitation phi
losophers will only let well enough
alone, and keep their mouths shut and
their hands eff of our finances, the
2A% difference between gold and
paper dollar will also rapidly disap-
pear until they come together and
then hundreds of millions Of dollars
of gold which is now boarded because
il is worth more than paper, will
again pass from the vaults Of the
banks and the miser's safes and enter
the pockets of the people.
This will give us imitation by the
natural law Of supply always equal

nancial prosperity and stability by
simple adherence to the rule which
is just as applicable to communities

The Gilman sccu1drelism in New

New YORK, Oct. 3.-All but three
or four of the certificates in the Gill
man forgery case are believed called
in and these arc for small amounts,
but may have been raised to large
figures, as were the others. The to-
tai amount of tho forgeries known is
about $207,000.
The excitement caused by the expo
sure of forgeries of Gilman was inten.
sified to-day by the discovery that
the stock of the American Exchange
and Metropolitan Banks had also
been forged and that several large in
stitutions were heavy losers. Forge.
ries so far discovered aggregate 1854,
500, upon which Gilman raised $247,
$40. The belief that
| GILMAN HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE
| is generally credited in insurance an,
bank circles. The principal loser
were large corporations. Two mon
ey lenders, whose names are not ye
known, were reported as among tn
victims, one losing $2S,000 and tn
other $4,000
The forgeries, it was found, begal
i IO0uuUky AOs 1CtV, SCiiP Va sAAS AsA's'
tic Mutual Ins. Co. being altered from
| $50 to 5000. Atfirst Mr.. Gilman op
Grated slowly, but as business losse
crowded on him he became boldcr
and forgery became almost an ever!
, day occurrence.
Gilman dealt largely in scrip of tn
New York Mutual Marine, CONNER
cial Mutual and Union Mutual Insur
ancc Co., but full examination showe'
!, that other forgeries were strictly con
fined to the Atlantic Mutual lnsur
ance Company, American Exchange
and Metropolitan Banks.
Tho rumor that the United State
Trust Company had been defraude'
by Gilman proves false. The losse
are summed up, and as far as discoy
cries have been made the total falls
values are $327, 800; net, $4,000. T.
this must be added 53 shares of tn
