NickeI-SimiIarity Between Mexican and
American Money Being Coined.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Secretary of
the Treasury having directed that the word
the Superintendent of the Philadelphia
Mint, who designed the original coin, is en-
gagged in preparing a device for the back of
the proposed coin, which will include the
denomination of Its value in unmistakable
terms. No order, however, has been made
suspending the Coinage OF the new five cent
piece and the Mint Bureau reports they are
being issued from the Philadelphia Mint at
the rate of $1,000 day, an amount sufficient
only TO supply about half the applications
The demand comes exclusively from private
firms, as Treasurer Gilfllan has directed no
more OF these coins shall be put In circula-
ton through the sub-Treasuries, unless the
Secretary of the Treasury shall direct other
wise.
The Director of the Mint has received a
letter from J. w. Helfrich, formerly coiner
at the New Orleans Mint, and Superintend-
ent of the Mint. coming nickels at the City
of Mexico stating that he has contract for
coming 100, 100000 pieces of nickel coin for
the Mexican Government
He submits specimens of one, two and
five cent pieces as coined by him, and states
over $4,000 worth is already in circuls-
ton. The value Of these nickel coins is
designated simply by Roman numerals.
The reverse side of the ive-cent Mexican
nickel is almost an exact counterpart of the
reverse side of the fve-cent nickel now being
issued from the Philadelphia Mint They
are also about the same size. The face in
scriptions, however, are entirely different
1t is also stated in this connection that the
French Government has adopted nickel
coinage instead OF bronze.

A MURDEROUs MAIDEN.
A Servant Girl Assaults Her Mistress Will
aRatchet and Kills the Latter's Child.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March "a German
servant girl Catharine Metzgar in the en-
ploy of Samuel May. attempted to murder
Mrs. May and the latter's child this morn
ing. She assaulted the former with a
Ratchet. and fractured the skull of the child
with bottle. 1t is believed Mrs. May will
recover. The child will die. The girl came
from Germany three months ago, and gives
no other reason for the murderous assault
than that she was directed by some unseen
power in dream to commit the deed. No
doubt she is insane.
Investigation shows that the mortal
wounds inflicted upon the baby were acct
dental. 1t seems the servant first seized
Mrs. May. while asleep, by the hair and beat
her about the head with the blunt end of q
Ratchet. A desperate struggle ensued and
Mrs. May wrenched the Ratchet from Cath
erines hand. The girl then seized bottle
of bay rum which stood on the bureau and
flung it at Mrs. May. The missile missed its
mark and struck the infant asleep in the
crib. breaking its skull. The struggle be-
tween the women was renewed, and ended
by Mrs. May throwing the servant out of
the room and locking the door. Her cries
brought the police. The girl went TO the
bathroom, washed the blood from the
Ratchet and lay down in bed, where the po-
lice found her. Mrs. May is young woman
and has been married about two years.

BLAINE's HAUK RIDE.

of Mckinley whether he noticed any noise

his cigar away with the remark that he
would not smoke in a close carriage. OF
