Advices from Washington of Septem-
Der %, state that there is in the treasury but
about So, 900 in gold, in denominations less
than 500 This amount is not sufficient to
meet any act We demand upon the treasury
for small coin. To supply this deficiency, it
is understood to be the intention of the treas
ury department to recon most of the foreign |
gold received at the New York assay office |
into five and ten dollar gold pieces. In re- |
coming foreign gold nothing less than five |
dollar pieces will be turned out as it is desired
to get as large a number of standard silver |
dollars as possible into circulation.
The comptroller of the currency re-
ports the whole amount of additional national
bank circulation issued since the publication
of his annual report of 1878 as $11 1888, 1916. The
amount of circulation issued in the months of
November and December and in January,
| March, June, July and August, 1879, was con-
| siderably less than one million dollars for each
month. The amount issued in February was
81 Gas, 40l; March, $l,OS1 ,O26: April, $2OlS634
The amount issued in September, 1879 was 49,
4S0 973, which was more than twice the amount
| issued during the four months preceding. The
total average amount of additional circulation
issued during the past eleven months has been
at the rate of a little more than one million
dollars per month.
| A special from Adrian, Mich, gives
the particulars of an accident that occurred ON
the fair grounds in that city, on the afternoon
of October ID. About two thousand people
had assembled in the newly-erected grand
stand to witness the races, when the centre Of
the grand stand gave way with crash. TIE
front part fell outwards and and the back fell
into the-river, precipitating mass of people
among the ruins. Work was at once, CON-
menced to extricate the dead and wounded,
and the Opera House was opened and many
of the dead and wounded as fast as eXtricated
were conveyed there. Seven were killed and
over thirty were injured by broken limbs and
various bruises.
Arrears of pensions claims 10 the amount
of 1874, 607, have been settled up to Oct. LIST.
The average amount of arrears in each case
settled is $545. Whole number of cases sell
tied in September, 1927 1t is estimated
there are still about 5000 or 1000 pensioners
entitled to arrears, whose cases have not been
settled. Settlements hereafter cannot be
made as rapidly as heretofore, because of the
great number of cases in which there is no
! title to arrears, which must be examined in
the search for those in which there is title.
+ 1t is stated for the information of all pension
ers who believe themselves entitled to arrears,
{ and who do not receive notice of settlement
of their claims either by allowance or rejec-
teon, by Nobember st, that they can hasten a
a settlement by writing letter to the Office
&c tbo;~
; tigcate and their present postofice address
1t is almost certain that the $25,OOOOOO appro-
priated will be sufficient to cover arrears
which were due upon pensions allowed previ
u Gus to January %, 1879.
i News has Just been received OF deci-
sion'rendered in the United States circuit court
for the western district Of Wisconsin, by JUS
i tice Harmon of the supreme court of the
: United States, Judge Drummond of the United
J. States circuit, court and Judge Boon, of the
U United States District court, in the case o.
d the Chippewa mill owners VS.. the Mississippi
River Logging company, and Beef Slough
Boom company involving the right OF the de
PENDANTS to run logs down the Chippewa river
and Beef Slough. In the previous suit brought
in the name of the United States against de
PENDANTS, the latter demurred to the complaint
= and Judge Drummond sustained the de
o murrer but gave leave to amend, and defend
ants demurrer to the amended complain
= was also sustained by the court. The mil
r. owners then took new tack and induced one
Edward Herman, proprietor of steamboo
q line on the Chippewa river, to bring suit ask
, ing an Injunction restraining the Logging
company from running loose logs, etc, on TIT
i ground that it was prejudicial to navigation
~ on said stream. This is the suit which ha
% Just been decided against him and probabl.
ends the litigation.
The Mark Lane Egpress of Septembe,
, 80 says the condition of new grain has not i'm
- proved to any appreciable eXteat. Threshins
has made little progress, as most grain al
% ready secured is in an unfit state, and some
:. weeks must elapse before offerings of new
- wheat will show any material increase. 1t il
pretty generally admitted that the whea
crop, the present year. will be about 80 pc
