A Minis or Gets Left.

A minister mailing from Georgetown,
in company with his wife, enroute to
Philadelphia, and from thence to Niagara
Falls, arrived in this city on the nor II
bound Delaware train, due here about
noon.
As soon as the train came to stand
still he proceeded TO. the restaurant for

when he came out with Il package for
his wife, he saw the rear end of the
train rapidly receding in the dista nee.
OF course a minister never gets angry,
and nothing was left for him to do but
to "grin and bear it and wait calmly
for the next train. In order to allay
his wife's fears, Il telegram was dis
patched and the reverend gentleman
boarded the next train, with the
determination to be more watchful OF

MuttlalHd Coin.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-There is a
general complaint r. IN all parts of the
country against the continued increase
of worn aud mutillted coin which now
circulate III business circles. 1t is said
that there is more detective coin Circu-
lating in he United States than in any
other country IN the world. England,
France and other foreign powers appro
pirate certain sum annually for the
preservation Of their circulating medi-
UNI. A. soon as a piece of coin becomes
disfgurrd or worn 10 a certain extent 1t
is replaced by a new coin, thus keeping
in circulation only money that is in
good condition. II is said the direction
of the Unitrd States mints will in his
coming annual report to the Secretary
of the Treasury recommend Il plan for
clearing he circulating medium of de-
fective and worn coin, with as little
friction and loss 70 III" holders as posi-
BILE. Owing to the large amount Of de-
fective coin now in circulation it would
require a large appropriation the first
year to redeem or replace it, but officials
OF the Treasury Department state that ii
would not cost our government more
than S1j, 600 or so 600 year to keep
our coin in tirSt-claSs condition.

THIRD EDITION,
The Han Ian Courtney Quarrel.

ST.. LOWS, August IAN exposure
Of the Hanlan-C )urtney boat race at
Chautauqua Lake, in which Courtney
was charged with ga wing his boats, will
be made public in tomorrow morning
Globe Democrat In the shape Of an in
terview Which took place between
representative of that paper and a
hacker Of Hanlan, at Chautauqua Lake,
on October l6, 1873, the day after the
boats were cut in two. Hanlan's hacker
is credited with saying that three races
were arranged for that year between
Hanlan and Courtney. Hanlan was TO
win the first, Courtney the second and
the tL ird TO be given to who ever the
most money was laid against. The first
race was rowel at Lochen, October II,
1878. and Hanlan was beaten. Court
new, 1t is alleged, received $500 OF the
stake money.
Af,er this race Courtney went to
Char tauoua Lake, rallied a lot Of bet
ting men about him and + them 70
Law large sums that he would win tns
rae. His personal friends also hacked
him heavily, he assuring them he was
certain of success. Subsequently Han.
lai reached the lake and finding that
hi. friends had backed him for all that
the were worth he weakened and re-
FMS to stand by the contract he had
made with G, urtn y.
The race must be rowed on It's merits.
Courtney, as the story goes, knew that
he could not win from Hanlan ana see
ing that il he rowed he would ROD MS
fItpds and hackers of their last dollar
lle took the only road out of the woods
and sawed his boats in two. Nothing
would have been said about this at TINS
sime but for the wordy row between
Hanlan and Courtney at Ogdensburg'
in which Courtney charged Hanian
with being responsible for the saving
of the boats az Chautauqua, and IN
which the worlds champion called
Courtney liar. The facts as published
appear weighty and are backed up by
strong chain of circumstantial evidence
which can hardly result in anything
less than thorough investigation.

This Mornipg's Drunk

Judge Cummins sat ~ committing
magistrate this morning and disposed
of the following cases:
John Montgomery, who was arrested
last night for being drunk, plead guilty
to the charge and Informed the Judge
that this was the first time he had ever
been in scrape like this, and he would
like to 60 home.
He was sentenced to pay fine of 30
cents and costs, when he told the Judge
that if he would let him off now he
would call around and settle tomorrow
but as the Municipal Court IL operated
on strictly cash basis, 1t Is not sup
posed that his request will be complied
with.
WANTED TO co TO WORK.
Aired Gill was also charged with be.
ing drunk. He said that he lived and
worked In New Castle, but on account
of one of the machines being broken be
had no work yesterday and came to this
city, where be unfortunately got drank.
He begged hard to BIZ let of, as he said
he was anxious to get to work to-day,
and the Judge told him he could go
when he forked over so cents and costs.
CAME DOWN FROM PHILADELPHIA.
The next customer was John Nc
Cam, who was found late last night
lying drunk on Front street near Ship
ley. John said he had come down from
Philadelphia yesterday on the boat to
look around, and he guessed he had
drank too much. He wanted to get
back as soon as possible, and has per-
mission from the Court to leave as soon
as he pays fine of 80 cents and costs.
A BEwILDERED WOMAN.
A young woman named Ellen Litzen-
berg was found roaming around the
streets last night, between y and !
o'clock, by officer Moore. She gave
several places as her residence, but
when the officer would take her TO the
place indicated, sh- would tell him she
lived somew here else, and finally aald
her home was over Brandywine. The
officer was ungallant enough to say
that she was drunk, and took her to
the hall. This morning she still per-
sisted in her denial, and said she had
been to the station to meet friend and
got bewildered. Unfortunately officer
Raymond had seen her, and as he also
testified that she was drunk, the Judge
imposed a fine of 80 cents and costs.
