the public schools close in this county.
This is the first time the schools of the
county have failed to be kept
open for 10 months in the year.
The cause assigned by the board
of school commissioners is owing to the
large falling off in the State treasury.
The st. Paul's parish school of this
town held its annual commencement In
the Town Hall last evening. The chill
dren, teachers and Board of Trustees
were grouped upon the stage, which was
handsomely decorated with flowers and
ablaze with light. Among those on the
stage were: John b. Brown, Thomas j.
Heating, DR.. Bordley and the Rev. James
A. Mitchell. The programme consisted
of solos and dnet exercises on the piano,
vocal music and the distribution Of
prizes and rewards by the pastor.

Ostraciscd From Financial Circles
Tho FURRY IICrc.

Tho FURRY IIcrc.
The boyootting movement on the trade
dollar has become 30 general In all parts
OF the country that Government inter-
vention will be asked in order to put an
end to the present furry. Secretary
Folger in conversation with number OF
business men and merchants In New
York yesterday said that the Treasury
Department could do nothing in the
matter. Not being legal tender, the
Department could not recognize
or control the circulation of the
coin In any way. The question
is, he said, in the hands Of Con-
gress entirely. Being asked If he should
mention the matter in his official report,
the Secretary said he would possibly
make some suggestions. 1t was his
opinion, in any event, that Congress al
the next session will take some action ia
remedy the present situation of affairs as
to the boycotted coin.
The entire issue of trade dollars Ia Off.
cially shown to have been $35, 1853, 1860 al
the time the coinage was stopped, in
1878. A liberal estimate puts the amount
iu circulation in China and Japan al
500, 600 900, 80 the Treasury officials say.
This would leave over SIS, 900, 900 as in
circulation elsewhere in the world, nearly
all OF which, Of course, ia in the United
States.
Mr.. Folger advises everybody to keep
their trade dollars if they can rather
than dispose of them at the present rate
of discount, and Assistant Treasurer
Acton is OF the same opinion.
The furry in this city grew to such al
extent yesterday that it WAS almost i'm
possible to spend one of these tabooed
coins. At the railroad station, on the
steamboats,, street cars, in banks, stores
Offices aud in fact almost everywhere was
conspicuously placarded, "No trad,
dollars received" The inquiry then
arose al 10 what should be done, will
these So cent coins, and saloon keepel
with great faith in the Government
CLEANED large stock of these quoits 10y
taking them at their face value.
There has not been any cousiderahl,
| amount of these coins shipped here from
| other cities, although the bankers were
offered tempting discounts on their vslua
tion to take hold Of them. Nome Of the
manufacturing firms, as far as can Ii,
learned, nave or viii pay their enploye
with the rejected coin.
A leading banker stAed Tines a,
that this boycotting movement woul,
have the effect of retiring these coins frou
circulation. He was of the opinion tina
the matter would temporarily right itsel
by the "trades' getting into channel
where they would be held until retired b,
the Government. This opinion is shared
by the other bankers in the city.
The trade dollar this morning ia sell
ing at So cents in this city.

,4ohNed Press Disps IN by Special wires
PETERsRuRa, VA, July 3.-About mid
night last night difficulty occurred in
Blapdford between Barney Jones and
WOodson Dunn. Jones accused WOodson
and his brother, Lewis Dunn, of having
induced his (Jones') wife aud daughter
to follow them, intimating that improper
motives were underlying their action.
Words ensued and Jones, seizing an old
army musket loaded with bird shot fired
at Woodson Dunn, the charge entering
the right groin, assing through the body
making a wound two inches in diameter
Dunn cannot recover.
