no more to the government than 4123
grains Of silver in any other Shape. The
proposition to exchange them, piece for
piece, for coins containing u more
grains of silver, enough to pay for the
recoinage, is SO obviously fair that it
must sooner or later be adopted for the
relief of the government from embarrass
ment and shame and of the people from
the trade dollar imposition. In view,
therefore, of the early prospect that the
present discredited coin will soon be
worth 100 cents the panic over il must
be short lived. The demand for it will
quickly advance the price to near or en-
tirely par, and anybody who can possibly
wait for the rise will be prudent to not
submit to the shave. Enterprising mer-
chants who take the chances will do a
good stroke of business in the dull sea

DUELlST ELAM'S WOUND.

More Serious Than at First SuppOsod-Feais
That Pyaemia may Set In.
Mr.. Elam's wound is much more serious
than was at first apprehended. After his
removal from the field to the residence of
Mr.. Lewis closer examination disclosed
that the ball had entered the right thigh
near the junction of the upper third and
the lower two thirds of the femur. After
striking the bone it ranged backward and
upward through the peritoneum and
lodged in the left groin, whence it was
extracted. 1t passed between the urethra
and the rectum, lacerating the tissues but
not seriously iDjuring either organ. There
has been no paralysis and no serious in
jury to the large vessels. The patients
spirits are good. He himself discovered
where the ball was lodged. 1t will be re.
membered that on the field he stated that
the shot had penetrated both legs. 1t is
that some foreign substance
has been left in the track of the ball, such
as particles of clothing and splinters of
bone. The ball, however, was but little
battered. The wound, while not necessarily
fatal, is very serious one.
Lieutenant Governor Lewis, at whose
house w. G. Elan lies wounded, was at
Harrisonburg, Va, on Monday. He is
very uneasy about him. DR.. Wheat, his
physician says he py;emia is feared from
the clogging of the wound, as no tubu has
yet been inserted to give flow to the pus.
is also feared by reason of the
proximity of the wound to the femoral
artery.
R. F. Beirne, with E. Chalkley, one of
his seconds in the late duel, arrived at
Fredericksburg, Va, Monday morning and
passed the day in seclusion. Their pres
ence gave rise to many rumors. They left
on the Southern train. It is the impres.
sion that Beirne will surrender himself
to day.

Wreck AND RUIN.

The Reign OF Violence and Wrong.
Violent thunder storms, accompanied
by high winds and, IN some cases, hail,
yesterday afternoon visited many portions
of New York and New England. Much
damage was done to property at Port Jer-
Wis, Binghampton and Hancock, in Now
York Hartford and Waterbury, in Con.
necticut, and the Wllliamstown Valley, in
Massachusetts,. At Williamstown the new
college gymnasium, in which the alumni
dinner was to have been eaten tomorrow
was wrecked.-An outgoing Kansas City
express train ran into a street car at
street crossing in Chicago, on Sunday
night, smashing the vehicle to pieces.
The lamps in the cars exploded, setting
fire to the wreck. Of thirteen persons in
the car, only one escaped injury, and it is
feared that two or three of the injured
cannot survive. The driver of the car
misunderstood the signal of the man sta
toned at the crossings.

fatally shot by some boys who were yes.

KILLING HIs OWN SISTER,.
"A Murder Quickly Followed by Sufciae-An
Insane mans Crime.

insane MANS Crime.
The people of Thogg's neck, in West
chester township, N. Y, are excited over
a murder and suicide. Miss Fanny Sea-
man, % years of age, whose father and
mother are dead, resided with the family
of MIR. William L. Ferris, a wealthy
Quaker, who is related to the Saamans
Her brother, William K. Seaman: "a years
of age, who was frequent visitor at the
house, had, it appears. been engaged to
marry young lady of New York. She,
hearing that insanity had developed itself
in the sister of her betrothed, broke her
engagement with him. Young Seaman,
who was not expected at tho Ferris resi-
dence until the Fourth, took the train for
Throsg's Neck Sunday afternoon. On
reaching the station, Instead of taking Mr..
Ferris carriage, which was there in wait
ing, IS usual, he proceeded on foot to the
house, which is at some distance from
the depot. On reaching the house
it appears that he entered by window,
unseen by any members of the family, and
made his way to sleeping room in which
his sister lay in bed. Suddenly the report
of a pistol was heard. The household was
at once thrown into state of terrible
CONSERVATION and before any one was cor
tain as to whence the report camo the
sound of another pistol shot rang through
the house and the heavy fall like that of a
human body was heard in Miss Seaman's
room. 1t was now evident that a fearful
tragedy was being enacted there. In an
Instant all the members of the household
bad gathered in the room. Theresa hor-
rible sight was presented to their view.
On the bed, with the blood streaming
over the pillow from a wound in the
head, lay the lifeless form of Fanny
Seaman and on the floor lay the body of
her brother, with the blood running from
a similar wound. He was in the last
agonies of death and near him was a
revolver which had done the terrible work.
He had evidently, Immediately on entering
the room. shot his sister, whose death had
apparently been instantaneous, and had
then meted out a like fate to himself. He
died few minutes after the members of
the family entered the room. At the
Office of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
company, No. SO Wall street, it was
learned that the name w. X. Seaman is
on their rolls as that of an employe of the
company at Scranton. 1t was said that he
had of late been very hard at work with
inventions, and it is believed that the
strain caused by overwork had, together
with other troubles, brought on mental
arrangement.
