The STEER Certificates.
THE EFFECT OF THEIR IssUE-sECRE-
TARY sHERMAN's POWER.

THE EFFECT OF THEIR IssUE-sECRH-
TARY sHERMAN's POWER.
A Washington correspondent, in speak
certificates, says =
There is clearly No limit to the power
of the Treasury to emit these certificates
of deposit excepting the number of sill
yer dollars in the Treasury. As legal
tenders they are just what the green
backs would be If Mr.. Bayard's resolu-
ton we're to be adopted and become a
Jaw. or course the emission of the GER
tificates reduces pro tanto, So long az
they are outstanding, the value Of The
silver dollars which the Government
owns free from pledge by the certificates
and the quantity of coin available to Sc
cure the convertibility of greenbacks in
to coin on demand. The silver certificate
is another form of Government debt and
another form of Government banking.
Under this power Mr.. Sherman can ex>
pand and contract at will, for nobody
will be likely to call for the silver dollars.
He can emit fifty millions of silver GER
tificates tomorrow if the printing ma
chimes work rapidly enough. The coun.
try may not know what Mr.. Sherman is
doing till the certificates are jammed In
to the channels of circulation. He can,
under his construction of the laws, issue
in the same way certificates of deposit
for all the gold coins in the Treasury and
so leave the greenbacks supported by
nothing at all. All that power, coupled
with the power to buy bonds for the sink
ing fund at any price he pleases to pay
ought to make Mr.. Sherman a formida-

INCIDENTS OF THE FIRE.

lhCipENIb OH THE FIRE.
During the progress of the flames
while the fro was at Its height, the lad
der of the Washington truck was ele-
waited against the west end of he mill
for the purpose of having some of the
upper windows opened. j ohm PierSon,
of the Friendship, mounted the ladder,
axe in hand, and in a short time had the
window shutter off it's hinges, and the
window opened. The burst of fame
INSTANTLY issued from the window almost
caused him to fall, and impelled him to
drop the axe and cling to the ladder foi
support. The axe, in It's descent, struck
an unknown man on the head, but for.
tunately did not hurt him seriously.
FELL IN THE RACE.
Among the many persons who crossed
the tail race on the log bridge, near the
lower end Of the mill, was one unfortu-
uate individual, whose haste and care
lessness caused him to fall Into the
water. He was terribly scared, and
cried out Justify, "Save me, for Gods
sake, save me-" although the water was
not more than thrre or four feet deep.
He was pulled out, and retreated TO his
home, disgusted with fires and log
blidges In general.
STILL SMOKING.
At noon to-day the ruins were still
smoking, and a plug stream was render
ed necessary several times I'd prevent
the flames from breaking ont afresh.

THEORY OF THE FIRE.
A theory OF the fire Is that the she'll
ings of corn, which were thickly strewed
around the drying kiln, took fire from
the heat, and were carried to the upper
stories by the elevator, which was run
ming all night, though not carrying any
grain, thus spreading the fire over the
building. 1E..s
HISTORY OF THE MILLS.
The mills are very old, and have stood
on the banks Of the Brandywine for a
longer period than the recolections of
our oldest citizeiis cover. The upper
part Of the mills was burned once be-
fore, rear about the year1Sl5, wien j..
Morton Poole and his brother were op-
Grating them. At that time It was burn
ed completely out. The mills have been
known as "Price's mills" for betwee 4
fifty and sixty years, aud first came into
the possession Of the Messrs. Price about
the Time, when John II. Price and Isaac
STAR, two half brothers, made the pur-
chase foT $3 800.
A STREAM OF FIRE.
While the fire was at its height the
windows on the north side OF the mill
gave way, and the piles of wheat inside
went tumbling into the creek. The
wheat was blazing at the time, and as it
went flowing down TO the water ii form
ed fiery stream which presented very
beautiful appearance.
WHO OWNS THE MILLS.

mills we're sold at Sheriti's sale to j. L.
