WHO PUNCHES THE cOISsi
The Amounts Realized From the Bor-
Ing Process.
tNsw York Evening Port.

tNsw York Evening Pcst-l
A reporter asked James n. Samp-
son, the veteran detective employed at
the Sub.Treasury, to what the govern
ment detectives attributed the sudden
increase in the number of clipped and
punched coins, which has attracted SO
much attention Of late. Mr.. Sampson
said that it was perfectly well known
that nine tenths Of the punching was
done in this city by Cubans. A num-
Der Of silver coins were clamped to-
gether in roll, and in less time than
1t takes to write an account of it, a
hole is drilled through the whole lot.
The value OF the silver obtained by
punching a hole Of usual size in a coin
amounts TO about one twenty.fifth OF
the value of the coin, so that for every
roll Of twenty-five quarter dollars, the
value of one quarter dollar is obtained
in a moment by running a drill
through the roll Mr.. Sampson says,
also, that many of the punched coins
come from Mexico and South America.
where silver coins circulate freely, and
rarely escape mutilation. Several at.
tempts have been made of late years
to break up the systematic punching
of coins, but with little success. Only
two convictions for the offense have
been made in ten years. Mr.. Samp.
SON remarked that while the business
of punching and fling coins was almost
wholly in the hands of the Cubans the
business of sweating gold coins by
shaking them up in buckskin bag is
attributed by the detectives to the
denizens of Chatham street. By shak-
ing bag containing 100 eagles for
three hours, the result in gold dust
will be worth about $50. Mr.. Floyd,
the chief clerk of the assay Office, said
that the government rules relating to
light weight gold coins were defective
and tended to keep such colus IN circu-
lation. When gold coin less than
twenty years old is abraded to more
than one half per cent. of its value it
is stamped with an al" at the sub
Treasury and returned to whoever
offers it, instead Of being sent to the
Mint. The objective is to force the
holder to take it to the Assay Office or
Mint to be sold at its real value in
stead of which it goes into circulation
again. The trouble is that Congress
has never made any provision for re-
deeming mutlated or abraded coin
Many persons think that all pieces that
have been worn down beyond re-
cognition in actual service should be
redeemed at par. The difficulty is to
tell when piece has been worn smooth
through use or brought to that con-
dition by sweating or other artificial
means Mr. Floyd considers that the
mutilation of silver coin does not
need government interference because,
unlike the abrasion of gold the mutt.
lation of silver coin can be detected
at once, and it rests with the public to
drive such coins out of existence

What Congress Did for Mrs. Lincoln j..

1t is matter of dicussion'at this time
what Congress will do for Mrs. Garfield
In this connection the acts passed in re-
lation to Mrs. Mary Lincoln are of inter-
est. There were three acts of this kind
passed by Congress. The first act, pass
ed when Congress came together after
the assassination of President Lincoln,
was as follows: "ThatTthe secretary--,,of

personal representatives of the said Abra-
ham Lincoln since his death, on account
of his salary as President of the United
States for the current year, shall be de-
Quoted from the said sum of $4,000"
The amount thus granted to Mrs. Lin
coin was the salary of the President for
one year. Now the salary is $5O,OOO.
In February, 1866, Congress passed the
following act: THAT all letters and pack
ages carried by post to and from Mary
Lincoln, widow of the late Abraham
Lincoln, be carried free of postage dur.
ing her natural life.' In 1870 the follow
ing act was passed: "That the Secre-

fiuctuated considerably.
Wheat opened shade stronger, bul
soon declined, then rallied slightly, and
eventually moved steadily downward about

Corn was weak, but only triile lower
closing at about inside prices.
Oats we're strong with Indications Of q

cation developed into certainty on call,
when November, which had closed at Al
advanced To 45c without any particular
reason for strength outside Of the local
pressure, and without a corresponding adj
vance in the other options.
Provisions were active early in the day,
pork advancing from 10 10 10 cents, and

WASHINGTON, November %. Senator
Malone will, as soon rs Congress meets,
introduce resolution directing the Com.
mittee on Finance, OF the Senate, to inquire
Whether any State Of the Union has
repudiated, or attempted TO repudiate,
in whole, or in part, any OF its bonded
debt and whether any Of the trust
funds invested by the United States in State
bonds have been lost or impaired by the
action OF any State. A similar resolution
will be introduced by one Of the Virginia
Readjusters In the House. A near friend
Of Malone said, this evening, "Mahone is
determined to get back at some
Of his honorable colleagues from
the Southern States, who entered
Virginia last year in the Presidential cam.
paign to denounc0 the Readjusters as no
better than swindlers, and who have been
so soliCitous for the "honor" Of Virginia

latly invited 10 stump Virginia against him
by the Funder Committee. South Carolina
has scaled debt OF sixteen millions down
TO less than four, and North Carolina has
gone even further in the same direction
In dealing with her bonds. Senator
Malone will demand also In his resolution
that the Finance Committee shall ascertain

left to the United States in case its trust
funds have been impaired or lost.

HE STILL LIVES,
with FIve BuIIets In His AnatOmy-A
Wonder.

CLEVELAND, o., November GA case
has come to light in this city, which is
said to be without precedent in medical
practice, and which exhibits tenacity to
life almost incredible. Something over
three weeks ago, bohemian, named JO-
seph Henosh, made desperate at-
tempt ut suicide, the particulars Of
which are about rs follows: On the
previous Thursday he purchased revol-
yer, with the avowed intention OF killing
himself and wife. For some reason lie con.
Cluded o spare his wife, but placing the
muzzle Of the weapon against his left breast,
directly over the heart, fired, the conclusion
raising the pistol and the ball entering Just
above the heart. A hole an inch and Il half
in diameter was burned through his
shirt and into the flesh. The shot not hav.
ing the desired effect, he discharged q sec
ond ball in the same vicinity, which passed
around TO the left and out at the side. He
next placed the pistol under his chin and
fired third shot. Then not satisfied with
his attempt at self-destruCtion he placed
the muzzle between his teeth and fired two
shots into the roof Of his mouth, thus
emptying the whole five barrels into his
body and head.
A physician was called, who expressed
the opinion that the wounded man would
live but few hours at most. The surgeon
was not evidently acquainted with the
constitution Of the patient, for Henosh
arose from bed soon after the medical at
tendant left, and has not been
back to it, except at night.
The condition Of the patient had
changed since the shooting only in that he
has grown weaker, which is accounted for
by his inability TO partake OF solid food.
The lower jaw has been fractured by one
Of the shots, otherwise Henosh is as well
as usual, excepting, Of course, the pain
caused by the wounds. The case is con.
sidered very much out Of the ordinary, and
is attracting much attention from medical
men.

NRs, CHRIsTIANcY A MANIAc.


WAsHISGToS, November 23,-The Chris
tiancy scandal was made more complicated
to-day by the singular freak Of Mrs, Chris
tiancy herself, who, it is feared by her
friends, is now suffering under alteration
of mind, Shortly after nine o'clock to-
night James Hughes, the colored ianitor
Of the Police Court, who resides
in that building, was called down
stairs by his little daughter, who urged
him to go across the street to the assistance
of woman who, with nothing but her un-
derclothing on, and bareheaded, was
coming along Louisiana avenue towards D
street. Hughes hurried out, and Us he ap-
preached the woman he discovered that
she was tearing her hair wildly and acting
very much like an insane person. Hughes
broke into run, and seized the woman Us
she was about ascending the steps leading
TO the office OF Cook 4 Cole, Sixth street,
As Hughes placed his hand upon her
shoulder the woman turned her wild,
scared face towards him, and he discovered,
to his amazement that 1t was Mrs, Lille
L. Christiancy. Hughes called on a
stranger who was passing TO take charge Of
Mrs. ChristianCy, and then hurried for a
carriage. The office where she stopped
was that OF her attorney in the divorce
suit, Mr.. Cole, Chattering with cold, and
still frantically tearing her hair and goug-
ing her eyes, the unfortunate woman was
placed in the carriage which quickly ar
rived, and was ut once driven back to the
residence Of her father, Mr., Lugenbeel,
three squares away. The family in the
meantime had discovered her sudden de-
parture, and, almost crazed the iatheg set
out in search OF her and met the carriage
driving toward his house, Mrs. Chris
tiancy was taken TO her room and medical
assistance was summoned. The matter
was kept as quiet as possible by the family,
but when questioned half an hour later,
DR., Lugenbeel informed q reporter that
he and his wife were In their room in the
third-story when he heard his daugh-
ter's room door open, and then heard her
descending the stairs, He gave pursuit
As 10 the lady's condition he said 1t was a
temporary attack Of insanity, for which
there was no cause that he knew OF beyond
her existing trouble. She had somewhat
recovered from the attack, and there was
no danger, he thought, Of any serious re-
suit He was greatly depressed by the oc-
currence, and had hoped that the papers
would not get hold Of it.
At 10 o'clock DR., Ralph Walsh, who was
summoned, had not arrived, and US to her
condition at the present time nothing is
known beyond her fathers briet statement.
Recent testimony In the divorce ease has
been against Mrs. ChriStiancy's side, rather
than for her, and has no doubt operated
upon her mind to great extent.
