two men, who afterwards robbed him. He repre-
sented that the crime had been committed about
a mile west Of town, n little before dark last
evening. The one side of his face was covered
with blood and his general appearance indca-
ted exhaustion. lie stated that he was shot in
the left ear and in the stomach. He was taken
to room, and placed in bed. Upon examin-
ing the wound in the stomach it was found that
the shirt and nndershirt was burned with pow.
er, and upon being questioned he admitted that
he had made an attempt to kill himself He
then gave his name as j. ii. Kitchen, his home
is in Columbia county, his father lives in Co
lumbia county, and his post Office address is
Central p. o. Columbia county, Pa. His age
he states is 81. He refused TO give any reason

until the county is alive with them. Yesterday
morning they were flying thick and he saw one

storm drive them away, they will, he says, re

The Silver Dollar.


Coinage Begun at the Philadelphia Mint
,Sring Specimen for the President.
A small but interested crowd of mint employ
ees gathered around the great coming machine
at the mint Monday afternoon to witness the
turning out of the first silver dollar. The dies
were finished soon after noon and the process
of adjusting them to the press occupied some
little time. After trying half dozen panch
cts the foreman Of the coming room, Mr.. Al
bert Downing, announced that all was ready.
Major Bosbyshell, the chief coiner, appeared
with dozen little envelopes, and Mr.. Pollock,
the Superintendent, and Mr.. Morgan, the en-
graver, stood by to look on. Mr.. Downing
then took dozen polished planchets and ad-
iusting the machine for u single revolution of
the wheel put one in. The first was slightly
defective and was promptly defaced and thrown
back. Ten coins were then stamped and de-
posted in their respective envelopes numbered
in the order of coming The eleventh proved
n faulty planchet and was also rejected. These
twelve coins were reserved and then steam was
turned on and the coming began at 1886. When
the press is working at full speed it will make
so coins a minute, and there are machines in
the mint capable of making silver dollars. Pre-
suming that these machines run without stop
ping, and they will be at work on Thursday,
they can turn out sl50,00O day, but the other
departments cannot furnish the material as fast
that. The dies used Monday afternoon were
the first pair struck Tuesday two more pair
were ready, and on Thursday half dozen
| more, which will probably be sent to San Fran
cisco aud Carson. Tuesday the mint made
$4,000, but the first delivery will not be until
Thursday. The first piece struck will go to th'
| President and the second to Secretary Sher
man. No orders have yet been received fol
the distribution of the coinage, but it is pre-
sumed that it will be for gold at the various
sub treasures, and that whatever gold is re
ceived at the sub-tre asures will be used for thu
payment of interest, while the silver will b.
paid out for the purchase bullon.-Eh.
