WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Scoviile has is
sued an address to the American peo-
pie, in which he says: Under the cir
cumstances, do not feel called upon,
as matter of public interest alone. to
give an additional two months time to
a motion for new trial for Guiteau,
before the court en- banc. If my fellow
citizens--few or many-think the in
terests of justice, humanity or honor of
the country require this contest to be
prolonged, and that no effort be
spared to secure verdict and judg-
ment after passion shall have subsidized
in the public mind, let them manifest
it by providing means and competing
counsel will be secured at once. / ask
nothing for myself up to this time, but
cannot give my own services hereafter
| without compensation. AT least two
thousand dollars is needed. Should an
insufficient amount not be received the
money will be refunded on request.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Scofield has
filed in the supreme court papers on
which he bases his reasons tor new

Fi1st-By reason Of the uncertainty

whereas the indictment consists OF dill

Secopd-That said verdict Of the jury
does not specify which count or counts
of the indictment it was founded upon
and several of the counts being mater
ALL different from others, the defend
ant is not advised by the form or sub
stance of said verdict as to the finding
of the jury upon the material facts OF

but the thunder of the liberated river
filed the air. II seemed the triumph
ing of the river god as he swallowed
his victims, the human sacrifice to his
power.
We were trying TO force our way
through the crevasse up to higher
ground, when suddenly a bonfire some
one had lighted hours before blazed
up, and we saw clingingin the branches
of a tree rushing past us the bride
clasped tightly in the arms of her hus-
band. Was the prophecy to be full
filed, "never a wife or q motherp"
Though the attempt was madness, we
strove to reach them. Fortunately
both Ruth and myself were accom-
plished oarswomen and accustomed to
the river. Frank stood up and called
to them while we bent to our oars with
all our strength. The bridegroom heard
us and waved his hand in acknowledge
ment. Then Frank took the oars,
Ruth the pole that was used TO keep us
from colliding with the floating masses,
and we rowed down the current after
the great tree with its living burden.
A jutting bluff for moment shut out
the view Of the bonfire. When it shone
upon the floating tree again, only the
bare trunk and dripping branches were
to be seen. Ruth uttered moan OF
terror. Frank changed our course, and
we shot off into the darkness again.
After hours of desperate fighting for
our lives. the faint light of dawn came
to our aid, and at last we were able to
land.
AS soon as our feet were on firm
ground again Ruth turned to Frank
and held out both her hands with tears
in her eyes and trembling lips, but said
no word. He drew her to him and
kissed her again and again. They
were saved for each other, but
thought of Major Grant, with sigh.
We found him at the house of a friend
a few miles back from the river, where
he had been borne for safety, but the
excitement and exertion had been too
great for his strength, and he was suf-
fering from severe hemorrhage,
which was wasting his life-blood. Ruth
went at once to him, leading Frank by
the hand.
Some hours after, rs the sun was set
ting we were all called to his room.
Ruth knelt on the floor at his bedside
with her face buried in her hands, and
the Majors hand rested on her head. Il.
The dark curling hair lay in damp
rings on his white forehead, and the
large sad eyes were lifted as in prayer.
His lips moved Ruth, dear" he
whispered. She raised her head. He
drew her to him with yearning in his
eyes that would not be refused. Their
lips met in one last, long kiss. Then
he reached out and taking Franks hand
put Ruth's into it, and blessed them
with look of unutterable love till the
light faded from his eyes forever. - our

The Wear Of Coins.

The depreciation in value by the
wear of circulation of the gold coinage
of England is exciting some discussion.
and it has stimulated Mr.. John Bid
dulph Martin, of Lombard street, to
make an extensive investigation. He
sent for information to every bank, to
some fourteen railways, to fifty post
offices, and to number of large wage
paying firms, and he received 1,092 re-
turns. 1t was found that gold coins
minted anterior to 1910 are now very
scarce. The most important point es-
tablished was that most of the gold now
in circulation is more or less light in
weight. Upon the total number of
coins of each year since 1917 in circula-
ton there is a weight deficiency of
"a, 220, 100 grains. The mean loss of
weight per coin through the wear of
circulation is O.4325 grains. Mr.. Mar
tin estimates the loss on light gold at
Office finds it to be actually fl2 los.
On light half-sovereigns the loss is
much greater, ranging in actual ex-
pense from f21 6s. to f22 los. on
f1,OOO worth. Thus the coin of the
realm is in very bad way. individuals
bear the loss and not the Nation at
large, the only loss of the Nation being
the $4,000 depreciation of gold sus-
tanned by the post-office. The brunt
falls upon the bankers, who do their
utmost to avoid paying for the recoin-
age of sovereigns and half-sovcreigns,
and are heavily loaded with coin for
which they can find little use. Their
plan has been to send down large
amounts of worn corn to provincial
centers of business, where they sell it
to local bankers against ton or fifteen
days drafts on London. The bankers
put out the coin among their wage
paying customers. The London banker
loses his fortnightly interest on the
money rather than incur the loss of
sending the coin into the Bank of Eng
land to be clipped. Mr. Martin pro-
poses that the State should undertake
the task and expense of putting the
gold currency upon its proper footing
and of keeping it there. The first ex-
pense would be f36O, 600. The average
life of a sovereign is 17.9 years. of
half-sovereign 11.6 years. Mr.. Martin
suggests that an allowance of one grain
on every sovereign of twenty years old
and of half grain on every sovereign
of ten years old should be made at the
expense of the State on the light cur
rency now in existence, leaving the in
dividual to bear the loss on light coins
of later date. He also suggests the
use of Ct notes. -London7 Telegraph.

AMAN BEATEN BY NEGROES
THE ELECTION.

Voting Progressing Quietly, But strongly
Intimidation and Fraud.
I'm to 9 o'clock this afternoon the election
had progressed in generally quiet manner,
the disturbances being comparatively few.
A heavy vote was being polled, consequent
upon Inost of the large industrial establish
ments being closed.
FRAUDULENT TAX RECEIPTS.
At the western precinct of the Fifth ward,
where ex-Tax Collector Joseph L. Carpenter
Jr., was the Democratic judge, negro
offered to vote upoa receipt Mr.. Carpen-
ter's signature, which that gentleman pro-
nounced forgery. The receipt was of the
ordinary kind, but the signature was simply
u lithograph copy of one OF Mr. Carpenters
originals. He exposed the fraud, but the
Republican Inspector permitted the man to
swear that he had paid tax for the receipt
and then accepted the vote.
Similar receipts were discovered at nearly
all of the uptown precincts, and at the east
precinct of the Fifth Ward one was cap
tured from a negro offering to vote upon 1t.
BEATEN BY NEGROES.
ALnoon to-day, about the time the work
men went TO vote in the Eleventh district
the Seventh ward, about 40 negroes block
aked the window, preventing them from
getting near. One of the workmen en-
leavored TO push his way through the
crowd, when they rushed on him, beating
him in an uumerciiul manner. The plan
for the negroes to blockade the window at
noon had been prearranged.
The negroes chased the man to the house
of Mahlon NJ. Wright, No. 907 Orange
street, when the roughs knocked daughter
of NJ. Wright down, kicked her
brother and beat colored ser
want The young mans lip was lacerated
III a terrible manner. Policemen and deputy
Inarshals stood near by but did not offer to
arrest the negroes.
PISTOL SHOOTING NEGRO.
A oolorcd barber named Kershaw, about
noon, without proyocation, fired pistol at
white man on Maryland avenue, near
Front street No one was injured, aud the
black man was taken away in hack by the
police. Where.
VOTE on THE WRONG NAME.
A deputy marshal arrested negro this
afternoon in the Second ward for attempt
ing to vote under an assumed name. While
the officer was taking the negro to the City
Hall he was hailed by Levi Bird, Esq, and
the prisoner was taken to the marshaPs
office in the Post Office, where he was re-
leased on bail. Tie name Of the Negro
could not be aseertained.
AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS.
At police headquarters everything moved
along quietly, but few arrests being made
and those for drunkenness. Both partie,
are watching and as soon as one of theil
respective party is arrested he is at once
released on bail.
