MEMORIAL CONCERT,
FIRE THIS MORNING.
SlaughterbOuses and Live Stock
Destroyed.

Between and 2 o'clock this morning
the slaughterhouses of Seessel & Ashner
and Isaac and r. Foltz, situated on tue
Randolph road, some two miles north of
Court Square, were totally destroyed by
fire, together with number Of stock
ready for butchering, lot oftools, fences,
sheds and other paraphernalia, in all
valued at somewhere between two thous-
and and twenty-five hundred dollars.
1t is not known how the flames were
ignited, but the general opinion is that
lightning caused the conhagration. There
were in the houses at the time thirty head
Of live sheep and lambs and twenty live
hogs, the property of u f s asiiiner &
Co., all Of which were burned and de-
stroyed. A round lot OF dressed beef and
other meats ready for use at the market
stalls was also destroyed. Seventeen head
of live cattle were in one of the adjoining
lots, and escaped unhurt. The loss is
partially covered by insurance policies
for $500 held by Seessel, Ashner & Co.
IN Darriagt9l Meson's agency and $500
by FoIfz in Hirsch 4 Gronauer's agen-
cies. The ground whete the sheds Tefe

IN GOLD.

It is apparent that gold is again COM
ing to the front in volume of production.
For quite q number of years, until the
past " or three. the preponderance OF
the silver product over gold, in volume
and value, has been very great, and it is
that, mainly, which has enabled the
gold standard people to prescribe for silver
q deprecated value as compared to gold.
But the recent very extensive discover
les Of gold now promise at least to equal
ize that volume and value. During the
great California gold excitement the
product Of gold was SO largely in excess
of silver it became the cheaper, proper
tionately, Of the two metals, silver bear
ing q premium Of 3 per cent over gold
or, rather, gold was 8 per cent below sill
yer; but the subsistence OF the gold
product, and the enormous increase IN
the silver product, by reason OF the
Colorado, Montana, Nevada, New Mex
leo and Arizona silver discoveries,
turned the scales, and SO reduced the
value of silver, as compared to gold, as
to enable for a time the demonstration
Of that metal. But the scales are again
turning and silver is again becoming in
fact. as it should be, and as it was prac-
ticalIy made by the original coinage law
Of the country, the actual standard OF
values, in which even the value OF our
gold coin is computed.
One of the later discoveries in gold is
that the gold belt in Georgia extends
from Virginia and North Carolina TO
Florida and Alabama. 1t is from l2O to
l4O miles wide. Thousands OF people
support themselves by working in the
mines. In one place alone in Lumpkin
County, 26 stamp mile are working,
each of which employs from five to fifty
men. Some Of these gold mines have
been worked for years, and in places the
earth is dug away 60 feet. Some OF it Is
very rich in ore. Four hundred acres
were sold some time ago for $5,UOO,OOO
to English capitalists.
The gold mines Of Dakota, Montana,
Alaska, New Mexico and Arizona, are
beginning to show development that
show important yields. Old Mexico,
too, is coming forward with important
gold discoveries and developments to
add to the renewed stock Of gold. There
is little probability that the appearance
of superior value will much longer afford
an argument for the displacement Of sill
yer as the actual standard Of values,
here or elsewhere.

New Railroad Arrangements.
SAN Francisco, June pa dispatch
received to-day by VIM. Bedell, General
Agent Of the Michigan Central and Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern Railroads,
that beginning June IS the New York Gen.
trail Railroad would run Pullman dining
cars over their lines. This will make
through dining car service from New York
to Council Bluffs. The Union and Central
Pacific Railroads will be compelled to run
dining cars over their lines should this
service be put on. The Northern Pacific
will, it is expected, also follow suit. 1t
may be considered certain that through
dining car service will soon be in operation
between this city and New York.
The New Tariff OF Fares.
SAN Francisco, June 23.-The Board OF
Railroad Commissioners have prepared a
complete tariff Of fares on all the roads in
the State. On level aud moderate grades,

been reduced to 4 cents. On heavy grades
it has been reduced to 6 cents. Where
the charge is less than four cents it was left
undisturbed. The reductions range from
Is to So per cent. 1t is intended to put
this tariff ON trial for six months to deter
mine whether the public interest demand
a further modification. The schedule will
be passed on by the Board next Monday.

amount.

GUIrEAU,s CURsE =.

It will be remembered that the crank
Guiteau cursed everybody from the Pres
ident and Cabinet down to the ~jailers
who guarded him. He p~rophesied that
evil would befall all those connected,
either directly or indirectly, with his
conviction. Gate receatly Michael
Sheahan, one Of the jurors who con-
victed him. lost his reason. This fact
suggested to a Washington paper That
the prophecy was coming true. In sup
port of the assumption, it says Sheahan's
relatives state that the frequent male
dictions Of Guiteau during the trial upon
all who should find him guilty haunted
Sheahan for months and kept him awake
at night. It then mentions the follow
ing incidents which have occurred in the
way Of ful6lment of the curse. First in
the order of events was the death Of the
wife of District Attorney Corkhill. And
then Juror Hobbs wife died; Surgeon
General Barnes. an important witness,
died; Judge Porter's health is said to be
wrecked; Marshal Henry, Bailif Stahl,
Detective McElfresh, the Jail wagon
guard, Perry Carson, and the driver,
James Leonard, have been dismissed
from the service; DIR. Noble Young, an
important expert witness. has died; DR..
Hycks has been libeled; DR.. Gray. an
other expert, was shot at in the Utica
Asylum; DR.. Mcdonald has been Tor is)
subject to investigation in connection
with the administration of Wards
Island. New York; Officer Pat. Kearney's
removal from the Baltimore & Potomac
depot-only . temporary misfortune
are included among the ful6lments of
Guiteau's curse.
To the superstitious or ~incredulous it
sounds startling to hear that 80 many
persons who figured in the trial have had
something sad or bad happen to them.
And yet something worse may have hap
pened to them if they had never heard
of Guiteau. Their misfortune may be
traced to the influence Of the man in the
noon a. easily as to the effect of Guiteau's
curse, and none but journals quite as
cranky as the dead assassin can see = full
ilment Of the empty curse in the mis-
fortunes Of the individuals named.
