A Bridegroom's Insarny.
Rochester Express |


A lady named Quick came TO Rochester
from Syracuse, her home, on Friday, in
search of her daughter. She said her
daughter had married a train news agent
named .Gervir, about a month ago, and
that she had not seen or heard anything
definite of her. But she had heard vague
reports of the place in which her daughter
was boarding that alarmed her To D-tec
tive kavansgh was given the task OF find
ing the girl. Before the day was over it
was learned definitely that the newly mar
ried husband had taken her to a low place
kept by one Minnie Grant, on Division
street. Tbither the unfortunate mother
was conducted by the detective, and the
bride of month was found there, sur
rounded by the depraved inmates OF the
bagnio, and participating in their infamy.
Mrs Quick vas entirely overcome by this
dreadful reality, which was much worse
than her imsginstions had led her TO e1-
pect. Even The fallen creatures who are
the regular frequen;eis Of the place, were
affected 10 tears by the mothers heart
rending sorrow. The unfortunate girl said
that it was entirely the fault of her hus-
band, and was quite willing to return with
her mother. The young rascal who mar
ried her is about 20 years old, aud runs
regular on the Central Railroad as news
dealer 1t is authoritively stated that his
disgraceful conduct will insure his discharge
from the position, as it certainly should.
The young woman is said 10 have been a
very respectable person, and to have be-
longed to q church in the City Of Salt"

INDIAN AFFAIR.

The rather lively discussion between
General Sheridan and Secretary SchuIz, in
regard 10 Indian matters, Ia regarded with
considerable interest in Washington, and 1t
is generally supposed that Sheridan is pre-
pared TO back up all his assertions with
proofs now ia his possession, and that since
the Secretary of the Interior has given him
an invitation, we shall see an avalanche OF
evidence forthcoming TO show the imbecili:y
Of the Indian service. Secretary Mel rary says
that he has held back many officers Of the
armv who have been anxious to SHOW up
Commissioner Hayt and the man
agement Of the Indian service, be-
cause he was opposed to getting up dis
cussion between the departments, especial
Iy at the present time while the question is
pending of transferring the Indian Bureau
to the War Department, but he f.lls that
Secretary Schu has now opened the
door, and has invited the army officers TO
tell what they know. 4 Washington dis
patch TO the later Ocean OF the both, says
Secretary McCrary, IN conversation to-
night, eN pressed his confidence that General
Sheridan would be able TO sustain himself,
and referred TO an admirable letter written
by him some weeks ago in answer to a de-
maud from cretary Schurz. Il Sc. ms that
In a letter to the depa tment General Sheri-
dan opposed the removal Of an agency in the
Indian Territory, and CT arged that the object
was to get away from the espionage Of the
military. Schurz took ofiense, and asked the
grounds Of his opinion. Sheridan gave his
reasons in so forcible a way that Schurz
made no further reference 10 the SUBJECT.

WELL. NELL.

The following is from the GLoJc- Dc1aocra
OF Tuesday morning. Now, don't imagine
that the compositor has made mistake,
and put in the name OF the wrong paper it
is from the Globe-Democrdt- clipped out OF
the leading column, and there was no apol-
ogy Tor its being there:
Hon. Carl Schurz, Secretary of the Interior,
has been making a short visit TO -. Louis,
and will return 10 his post of duty TO- might.
IL is, We believe, pretty generally conceded
that Mr.. Schurz has made an excellent officer
In his present position. He has been ener-
ge:ic and laborious, and has succeeded in re-
forming a number of the old-time abuses OF
his department. Even those who do not
agree with him politi cally concede his inreg
rity and his ability, and recognize in him a
man who has conscientiously discharged his
public trusts, whether in the United States
Seuate or in the Pre- sident's Cabinet.

THE TRADE ssOLLAR.

Since their coinage was authorized, )
$50 $50 trade dollars have been coined, and
1898, $50 have been exported, leaving
balance Of Il, 255, sol, some Of which the
Chinese have taken home. 1t is estimsted
that during the past five years five millions
have thus been disposed Of. Five and a
quarter millions are held by California
banks, or circulate as money, except $780,
600 melted at the minis. The principal
portion Of the trade dollars now in circula-
ton were coined since they were deprived
OF their limited legal tender quality, and
they were manufactured for depositors,
with the understanding that they were to be
exported and not placed in domestic circu-
lation.

The Banks After the First Of Janu.

In relation to the action of the New
York banks after the resumption of specie
payments by the Government, Mr. Robert
Bliss, the Nice-President of the Bank Of
New York, was asked:
Suppose j am a depositor and on J an.
uary 2, 1879, | offer for deposit in your
bank fifty trade doll ars, will they be refus.
ed?
"No; we would take them as a special
deposit to be paid in the same coin-Trade
dollars, by the way, would not be received
at all except as special deposit, for they
are not legal tender"
"How would it be with fifty full coin
age dollars ?"
1--WE should receive them, to be paid of
in the same coin"
"How if / offer subsidiary silver
coin ?"
I'VE would not take it at all that il,
not over five dollars worth to make
change"
Suppose ] am dealer and present a
check Tor FIVE hundred dollars on January
., 1879, and ask for gold; shall l get
Yes, il the Cover ment resumes"
"How will the daily banking IN the city
of New York differ, if at all, from the
banking in 1902"
1T wont differ any i, will be just as it
was then, only Its volume will be largely
increased"
"Are the national banks likely to retire
their one and two dollar bills after the re-
SUMPTION"
MOT if they can help it; not unless
they are compelled to, for they are a very
great convenience. 1t depends entirely up
on the action of the Government upon the
silver bill"
