KILLED BY A STREET CAE.-During
the fire at Burlington a much esteem
ed citizen of that place, by the name
of O. X. Vinton, was run over by the
street cars and injured SO that he died
in short tine afterward. 1t seems
that Mr.. V left his home to learn the
location of the fire, and seeing car
starting out he hurried to meet it,
that he might understand the matter.
The horses being on slow trot, lie
halloed to the driver to stop. The
driver was inside the car and on
hearing the shout, started for the
brake, stopped the car, and not seeing
any one enter, stepped of the plat
form and there found, along the edge
Of the car, the PROSTATE form of Vim
ton. He was carried to the Office Of
the Street Car Company, but with all
the efforts made to render him assist
ance he died in short time after the
accident. He was about forty years
Of age, member of the firm of
Swindler & Vinton, contractors. He
was member of the Presbyterian
church and superintendent of the
West Hill Sunday School. The I'M
fortunate man leaves a wife and two
little children to mourn his loss.

amount Of million Of dollars sudden
" closed its doors on Friday last. AS
soon AS the fact was known two small
Ter institutions followed suit The
news spread, and an immense crowd
of excited and clamorous victims Of
misplaced confidence were speedily
gathered around the building giving
vent to their wrath. There was a
good deal of unanimity iu the opinion
that the officers would only be treated
right if strung up to lamp posts. The
crowd was, however, restrained from
violence and it may be some comfort
to know that tie stockholders are in
dividually liable, if they prove to be

MONEY AFFAIRS.

The passage OF the silver dollar and
anti-resumpton bills by Congress has
ransed intense excitement, especially
in the banking and commercial circles
o. the cities. The silver bill is VIC.
lentlv denounced. The old silver
dollar is actually worth bnt ninety
two cents. The greenback dollar is
worth within a fraction Of ninety
eight cents. Tle silver dollar by this
bill is made legal tender in the pay
ment Of debts, thus giving it the prac-
teal valne Of gold dollar. One need
no: be at the head Of the cass in
arithmetic to calculate the effect Of
this in business and money transac-
tions. AS one result it would sweep
eight per cent Of the national debt
ont Of existence by compelling tho
holders Of the debt to take ninety.two
cents on the dollar if payment is Of
iered in silver. 1t is therefore de.
nounced as a Reputation scheme Of
the worst kind. TIL. effect in Europe
has already been to check dealings in
our national securities. The oppo-
nenis Of the I'LL say it is gigantic
scheme Of the owners of silver mines,
who have captured q majority Of
Congress. But it is not likely to pass
the Senate, especially in its present
shape.
The law fixing the first Of January,
1870 as the day for the resumption of
specie payments has occaFioned the
utmost bitterness Of debate. Although
paper money is within two per cent
Of the value Of gold, and to all ap-
pearance steadily and surely advanc-
ing to that value by force Of ordinary
causes, it is vehemently declared that
the resumption law is rapidly hurry,
ing the country into total insolvency
and ruin. We have neither time nor
ability nor room in our columns to
discuss the great question, but we
shall try to be hopeful and trust that
the great tidal wave Of bankruptcy
will soon be stayed and the substan-
tial bottom Of the country not entire
Is drop ont.
