A Rad Combination

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3.-The Illinois State
Board of Railroad Commissioners began
an investigation at Bellviile, Illinois,
yesterday, of the charges against GER
tain railroads, for infracti0n of the law
made by certain coal operators, as re-
ported by these dispatches last night.
Much interes: is manifested in the case
by all concerned. Most of the railroads
are represented by their regular attor-
neys, and in one case. that of the Cairo
Short Line, its president, George w.
Parker, was present.
Testimony was taken today against
the Vandalia and the Louisville and
Nashville roads. This was given by
what are known as the New Exchange
for operators and those who don't be-
long TO the Coal Exchange and Railroad
Pool, and showed that they could
not get anywhere near as many
cars as they needed to transact
their business, or as were fur
nished to the members of the exchanges.
They complained to the managing
officers of the roads and in each case
they got an allotment of cars equal to
the Exchange men, operating mines of
the same capacity rs theirs, but this
continued only about week, when
they were cut down TO the old and in
sufficient number. One Ofthe complain
ants, Mr.. Harris. whose name is ON the
Louisville s. Nashville road, has con-
tracts to supply the st. Louis water
works which requires ten cars per day,
and in consequence of not being able TO
obtain the cars, he has been Obliged
frequently to purchase coal of the Ex-
change men at a loss of two cents per
bushel to keep his contract good. He
represented has case to the officers of the
road, and for a week he received the
necessary number of cars, but after that
he was cut short again, and was advised
by an officer of the road to- divide his
contract with the members of the Coal
Exchange. Finally he lodged COM
plant with the State Board of Commits
siOners, since which time he has been
getting liberal supply of cars.

New York Tribune: That the Nor
mons had genuine fear Of President
Garfield's avowed hostility to polygamy
is proved by their sctions and utterances
at the time Of his death. A private let
ter from Salt Lake City recently receiv-
ed reports that upon the night of Sep
tember 10, when the entire Gentile COM
munity was plunged into the deepest
grief, MOrmons openly expressed their
Joy upon the street. The writer says
that in the ward in which he lives every
house inhabited by Genliles was heavily
draped, while not single dwelling of
Mormons displayed a badge OF mourn
ing. He adds: "Yet, while there
Is not the smallest doubt that the
MOrmOns rejoice over the death of
Garfield, and while in private they ex-
press their real sentiments freely, Can
non, who is the controlling spirit among
them now, is far too willy to permit any
public demonstrations of Joy, There
were memorial services.i in the Taberna.

shooting, the speakers, while pretending
to deplOre the fact, called attention to
Garfleld's Mormon policy, as defined in
his inaugural, and added that all who
thus attempted to prosecute the Saints
were sooner or later destroyed"

1t having come TO the ears Of Mr.. j.
II. Noyes, the leader of the Oneida Com
munity, that he was to be called as q
witness to prove the insanity of Guiteau,
the assassin, he addressed letter TO Mr.
Scoville, in the course of which he ex-
pressed himself as follows: ~ do not
believe in his insanity, and rccollect
no act or symptom Of insanity in his
life while under my observation. I
think that he was born with q special
genius for mischief and has had q real
inspiration for it all his days; but that il
not saying he is insane, unless We also
call natural genius and Inspiration for
good things, such as inventions, music.
etc, insanity. understand insanity to
be unsoundness-disease OF the brain
and do not think Guiteau has that, any
more than bears and lions have 1t. With
these views and the memory Of my sore
experience with your client, am afraid
I should have TO testify strongly against
your main plea, and perhaps should be
the means of sending him to the gal
lows"

A Vice Presidential Crank.

WASHINGTON, Nov 3.-Thus far the
cranks visiting Washington have de
voted themselves chiefly to the Presi-
dent. 1t has not appeared 10 have en-
tered their heads that the Vice Presi-
dents place is one of much importance,
but now that Arthur has stepped into the
presidency and Davis is in the direct
line of succession, the latter has excited
the attention of one crank, who appear
ed at the capitol this morning and
claimed he had been elected Vice Presi-
dent He said that at the time he was
elected he was too sick to assume the
duties of the Office. He was well now,
and had come to Washington to assume
the duties of the Office. He said he
hailed from New York and his name
was Thomas jefferson, Il lineal descend
ant of the author of the Declaration of
Independence. He thought il was q
great outrage on the part of Judge
Davis TO treat him as he had, and as
soon as the Senate met he was going to
take the chair and address the Senate ON
the subject. When informed the Senate
had adjourned not to meet again before
December, he left, saying he would 60
home and return again. He did not be-
long to either Of the 50 called great
political parties, but was an old line
wing, with strong know nothing pro
clivities, and was of the opinion that II

Presidency, TO have q better state oI

was opposed to drinking whisky, and
would endeavor to impress on the sena
tors the necessity of being temperate in

A New Method of MutIIatIng silver


A New Method of EIutIIatiHg Silver
Currency.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. A new method
OF mutilating silver currency is being
employed by numbers of patent medf
cine vendors and others to advertise
their goods and wares. Of late large
numbers of coins have been received in
the treasury that are stamped on one side
with advertisements. The stamps used
are some sort of u die which cuts the
letters and the words into the coin. In
most instances the name of the owner of
the article advertised is not cut on the
coin, but the advertisement simply rec
ommends certain nostrum or article.
As the coin is stamped only on
one side It can be passed very
readily by exposing only the perfect
side This is a mutilation of currency
and a violation of law. The secret ser
vice has been directed tn investigate this
matter and hunt down and prosecute the
offenders
