Peter Cooper On Usury.

Mr.. Cooper was always a careful and
prudent business man. He was always
opposed to the methods Of many mer-
chants, who launched out in extrayagant
enterprises on borrowed money, for which
they paid eX0rbitant rates of interest.
Once, while talking about a project
with an acquaintance, the latter said
he would have to borrow the money for
six months, paying interest at the rate
of per cent. ''Why do you bor-
row for so short a timer" Mr.. Cooper
asked. "Because the brokers will not ne
gOtiate bills for longer" 'tWell, if YOU
WISH" said Mr.. Cooper, 81 will discount
your note at that rate for three wears. !"
care you i'm earnest?" asked the would
be borrower. "Certalnly / am. | will
discount your note for $4,000 for three
years at that rate. VIII you do its'' s'Of
course l will" said the merchant, every
WE'LL" said Mr., Cooper; '.just sign this
note for $4,000, payable in three years,
and give me your check for $500, and
the transaction is complete" 'sBut
where is the money for mey' asked the
astonished merchant. "You don't get
any money!" was the reply. "Your in
terest for 36 months at 3 per centum per
month, amounts to 10S per centum, or
$lO,SOO; therefore, your check for $500
just makes us even." The force of this
practical illustration of the folly of paying
such an eXorbitant price for the use of
money was such that the merchant deter
mined never to borrow at such ruinOus
rates, and he frequently used to say that
nothing could have so fully convinced
him as this rather humorous proposal by
Mr.. COoper.

HILL AND THE SHUTTERS.

BOttOmmost Depths.


WASHINGTON, June 22.-In the Hill in
vestigation to-day Mr.. HilIs counsel read
a statement from a man who is charged
with attempting to bribe the Manley &
Cooper company to withdraw their bid for
iron shutters, in which he says that he
never made any such proposition,
but on the contrary Manley q
Cooper, by two of their representa-
tives. minated willingness to
withdraw their bid, and invited him to
call upon them in Philadelphia. He did
call upon them, but made no proposition
such as is charged.
The counsel for the prosecution then
promised TO produce ON Monday members
of the firm of Manley, Cooper d Co., to
whom an offer of 81, 800 to withdraw was
made. Another effort TO have the st.
Louis building contract taken up
by the committee was made by
the prosecution, but the utmost they
could secure was the authorization to
expert Stinemetz to make his calculations
for that building and report result. The
committee would then decide whether to
90 into the matter or not. In the mean
time it would adhere to the decision
already announced to conclude the work
on hand before undertaking any further

A StepsOn's Murder by His Father Ex-
posed by a Played Wife.
CHICAGO, June 22.-At Kensington,
sixteen miles south of Chicago, the dis
covery was made yesterday of Horrible
murder. Edward Verunuler, laborer,
beat his wife, and fearing that her hus-
band intended to murder her, she dragged
herself to the nearest neighbours and re-
fated the story that one Sunday morning,
last October, Verunuler sent her son his
stepson), aged 10 years, to make some
small purchases. The boy returned'with
the change forty cents short. The brutal
stepfather thereupon pounded and beat the
boy to death, and took up the kitchen
floor and buried his body. Since murder
ing his stepsOn he has made several saw
age attacks on his wife, that of yesterday
being likely to result in her death, as she
was about to become a mother. The body
of her SON was discovered under the floor.
VerunuIer is in Jail. There are threats of
lvnching him.

He Tells of His Meeting with Edward
Hayward and Causes Leading Thereto.
During the proceedings of the trial of
the libel suit of August Belmont against
John Dewey, in New York, on Monday.
Mr.. Belmont being pushed with questions.
gave the following account of his duel
with Edward Hayward, South Carolina
planter;
One evening in August, 1S41, have for
gotten the exact date, l was at Niblo's
Garden, in one of the corridors of the the
atre. A friend of mine, Mr.. Lionel David
s0n-since dead-was with me. Mr.. Hay-
ward entered the theatre and approached
us. He greeted us very cordially, strik-
ing me smartly over the shoulder with his
cane, exclaiming, Chow are you, old fell
l0wW Neither ofus then, am sure, had
the slightest idea of what was impending.
Mr.. Hayward passed on into the theatre.
My friend and / seated ourselves at one
end of the table in the garden.
Later in the evening Mr.. Hayward
again Joined us and we entered into a
friendly conversation. At length he
made remark to which took exceptions.
He said l was too intimate with partic-
ular lady. 1t would be indelicate in me
to mention her name. l retorted that his
statement was not true. "Do you mean
to say that lie?' he replied, excitedly.
"10u can take it as you please,o /
answered. Then he struck me over the
head with his cane, but the blow was a
light one. We then clinched and were
separated. He was somewhat under the
influence of liquor. Next morning sent
him peremptOry challenge, which he ac-
cepted, and the duel was the result.
We fought at Elkton, Md, at ten PAGES,
l believe. l maintained the honor of nv
manhood, and my antagonist certainly
showed no lack of courage. / was shot in
the right hip, and fell before | could dis
charge my revolver. Hayward had his
arm raised at the time the signal was
given. l held my pistol loosely by my
side, consequently Hayward was the
quickest to take aim and fire. After my
wound had been dressed, L was taken to
Philadelphia and was laid up for long
time. The ball was extracted three
weeks after had been shot. Hayward's
relatives tended me most cheerfulIy and
kindly during my illness. My relations
with them for many years after were of
the most cordial nature. Mr.. Hayward
died down South some years later. was
only twenty-four years old at the time of
the duel. My opponent was not twenty
five.
