HOW TWO wILMINGToNIANS DECIDED
THE MATTER.
A story, which is vouched for, is told of
two young men residing in the eastern
part of the city, who recently adopted a
novel and decisive plan of settling a I'VE
affair. 1t appears that they had both been
paying attention to a young lady residing
in their neighborhood, and aftera certain
time each began to think the other an
intruding and superhuous party. AS they
were both quite smitten, SO to speak, and
each desirious Of ofmonopolizing the young
lady himself, very hard feeling arose
between them and the spirit of rivalry
was such as to cause apprehensions
among their friends of serious termina-
ton of the affair. The young lady her.
self was undecided between them, and
rather fiattered with. the consciousness of
possessing two such ardent suitors, was
reticent in expressing a choice and gave
them equal encouragement.
Such state of affairs was never known
to exist for great length of time, and
after the coldness between them had coll
tinued so long as to become choice all
dition to the neighborhood gossip, the
object of their rivalry began to realize
the unpleasant prominence she was be-
ing given by tue unsuitor-lille actions of
her two lovers. She determined to end
it all, and one evening, when the two
came toseteer unexpectedly, she frankly
told them that they must find some way
of deciding the dispute at an early day,
and that she would not receive either OF
them until they had fairly put an end to
it.
Being thus brought face to face with
the inevitable, they began to devise some
way of arriving at settlement. In the
end, one of them. the larger of the two
challenged the other TO fist fight, ex-
pecting an easy vic ory. The other read.
lily asserted to this aud they made term,
that the one who was wOrsted in the.en-

WASHINGTON.
None or the Senators ON Hand.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-I he meeting
Of the Senate to-day was attended by
ludicrous scene. Both the Democrats
and Republicans were in causus, and
When the hour of noon arrived, Mr..
Thurman, Pres dent pro tenn, followed
by the Chaplain, entered the Chamber.
The Chaplain delivered his prayer with
not a Senator OH the floor. As he was
concluding, Senator Hill entered, when
the p esident of the Senate noticing him,
exclaimed :-"The gentleman from Geor-
gia will come to order; and the Clerk
will read the journal" The galleries
broke out In hearty laugh in which
Thurman and Hill were compelled to
join.
THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS LAYING
OUT PLANS.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-A caucus
was held by the Democratic Senators to-
day to determine upon the course to be
pursued respecting the appropriation bills
and to insure concert of action.
After some discussion they decided to
take up the Legislative bill first, and give
its management to Mr.. Beck, who will
endeavor to secure its passage to-day, to
be followed by the Judicial Expense bill,
to be managed by Mr.. Wallace, and then
the Army bill, by Mr.. Withers.
Mr.. Coke's resolution to discharge the
Finance Committee on the Coinage bill
then ledro an animated discussion, but
elected so much opposition from the
anti-silver men that it was deemed advi-
sable not to urge the matter further as a
party measure. The House adjourn
ment resolution will not be considered
until the appropriation bills are out OF
the way.

House passed bill relative to ocean

The Rate Of Discount.

LONDON, June 13.-rhe Times in its
financial article this morning says THE
rates of discount obtainable on the Con-
tinent are now no better than ours. At
Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Frankfort, and
Leipsi ;, the value of money is Il per
cent. in the open market.
There is ample evidence to show that,
although the floating supply of money is
considerably less than it was, materially
higher rates than those existing here
for money are for the present impossible

circumstances Point to DR.. Hull

1t Is too late now to secure that exact
and authenticated account Of the condi-
ton of the house and of the chamber Of
death which should have been officially
drawn up by the Coroner before the
corpse Of Mrs. Hull was moved or any
any changes had been made in the ar
rangement or disarrangement of the
chamber in which she was found. But
it is not too late to formulate and COL
ing the discovery and announcement of
The death. In the first place the time of
the probable murder is plainly fixed as
being at or near the hour when one of
the inmates of the house admits him.
self to have been awake and stirring.
The boIy was found at o'clock, and
the medical men who viewed it shortly
after say that it had then been cold for
several hours. AT 3 o'clock, four hours
brfore this time. one of the inmates of
the house admits that he was awake and
using candle. In the next place, the
deld woman must in all probability have
recognized her assailant, for it does not
appear that she was drugged at all; 1t
does appear that she was awake. and it
is inconceivable that she should not have
made an outcry had she been confront
ed in her bedroom at such an hour BY
IA person unknown to her. Then she
was unQueStionably aSsalled by some
one who knew how to suffocate her,
Medical science and the annals of crime

the large proportion which silver bullion
has of late assumed partly by the regu-

Herr Max Waldstein, of the Stats
tical Department at Vienna, has pub
lished pamphlet giving some curious
statistics as to the ages of the inhabit-
ants of Austria and other parts of
Europe. He says that the number of
people in Europe who are upward of 80
years old is 102. 1881, of whom 60,303 are
are women. Of those who are over 100
years of age there are 24l women and
161 men in Italy, 229 women and 1873
men in Austria, and 526 women and 524
men in Hungary. There are in Austria
1,50S,359 persons over 60 years of age,
comprising rs per cent of the whole
population.
1t is found that the percentage of old
people is much higher among the Ger
mans than among the Slavs. In the Ger
man provinces of Upper Austria and
Salzburg it is lis; while in Galicia it is
only 4. In Hungary there are more old
men than old women, which is explained
by the fact that the excess of women
over men is less in Hungary than in other
countries. According to Herr Waldstein,
there are in Austria 100 women and So
men who are 100 years old, Al women
and 81 men who are 101, and SO women
and 60 men who are upward of 10l years
of age,
