The trade dollar contains seven grains
more silver than the standard dollar, and is a
better coin. Congress never endowed 1T
with legal tender attributes. 1t was Origi-
nally coined for use in the Chinese trade at
a time when our currency was paper, as
favor to the bonanza silver kings, who wish
ed to find some use for the product of their
mines.
1t is understood that Gen. Hancock's
friends, chief of whom is Judge Jere Black,
still regard him as candidate under whom
the Democratic party could win the great
battle of 1884. They are said to be quietly
laying the wires necessary to secure their
friends, the Pennsylvania delegation, in
their next national convention.
"A Dublin dispatch says that at the Sill
90 assizes on the 9th instant, sentences were
passed upon Tanzy, Rogerson, Houghtor and
Kelly, the four men who were found gull
ty on Saturday of being implicated in the
murder conspiracy. Tanzy was sentenced
to fourteen years penal servitude; Roger
son to - years, Houghtor to eight years and
Kelly to two years.
AT Nashville, Tenn, last Saturday, in
the trial of Polk, Tennessee's defaulting
treasurer, a great sensation was caused by
the discovery that on Thursday night some
person or persons stole from the State treas
urer's office the bank ledger containing &C
counts with depositors from May, 1877, to
January, 1888 The book was kept for NJ. T.
Polk, now on trial there, by Capt. j. c.
Flemming, and contains the entries relied
on by the prosecution to convict Polk. Its
disappearance is greatly commented on. A
reward of $3.50 is offered for the return of the
book or the detection of the person who
stole it. No doubt is entertained that the
facts necessary for a conviction can be Sc
cured without the book. The book was
found, unmutilated, on Monday.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.

Mr.. VIM. J. Gardner, who lives six miles
from Yorkville on the Charlotte road, was
in Rock Hill last Friday, and when about
starting for his home, at o'clock in the af-
ternoon, when opposite the cotton factory,
his mule took frig ght and started to run. On
endeavoring to check the mule the lines
broke, soon after he started to run, which
accident threw Mr.. Gardner from the wag-
on. He received severe bruises on the fore
head and hip, and is confined to his bed,
though the wounds are not dangerous. The
mule ran three quarters of a mile before he
was stopped. Mr.. Gardner was seriously
hurt by a runaway accident a year or two
ago.

RESIGNATION TENDERED.

The travelling public on the line Of the
Chester and Lenoir Railroad will regret to
learn that Maj. J. X. Marshall, the popular
and efficient conductor on the road since
it's completion to Gastonia in 1876, has ten
dered his resignation, to take effect on the
lst of next August. BY his accommodating
disposition and uniformly genial deport-
road, Mai Marshall gained the esteem of
the public, and whether he pulls the bell
cord on some other line, or engages in other
business bringing himself less in contact
with the public, he will carry with him the
best wishes of scores of friends.

Placky Girls.

Five years ago the Misses Wessie and
Corrie Phelps were bright, active and
pretty young school girls at their home
in Markesan, Wisconsin. Their father
died. and when his estate was settled up
the girls had $500 for their share of the
property. Pocketing their $500 they bade
adieu to kind friends and old surround
ings, and within few days found them
selves in Fargo. Property was cheap in
Fargo at that time. From their small
store of wealth they saved enough money
to make the first payment on a1ot, erect
ed a small building, and engaged in
dress-making and the sale of small arti-
c!es OF millinery goods. They had all
the work they could do and obtained
good prices for it. With their savings
they paid their debts. Soon afterwards
they sold their establishment at profit
then secured situations, one as cashier
at Goodman & Yerxa's establishment.
the other at Raymond & Kingman's
wholesale house. With their one and
half thousand dollars they engaged in
buying and selling real estate, city lots,
etc: They made first payments upon
and held quite number of desirable
city lots before the great boom of lSsO-8l
struck that still fourishjng city. When
the property was at its best and the boom
was raging the girls closed out their
holdings, and pocketed the neat little
sum Of something like $4,000. This
money they used in buying other prop
erty, and in their trafficking in this way
they have about doubled theircapital. SO
that each can boast of being worth, to-
day, in the naighborhood of $4,000.
Last spring they gave up their positions
in Fargo, and took up claims near Key
stone, Day county. They erected cosy
residences for themselves. employed men
to do their breaking and are now adver-
tising to prove up.
These younggirls were old schoolmates
of our register of deeds, A. H. Laughlin,
and have been visiting him and Mrs. L.
To-day they are in Fargo: looking up po-
sitions for the winter. The ladies' say
they have no desire to leave Dakota.
They truthfully claim that no other
country in the world affords such chances
for making money, and that the wonder
land is good enough for them.-Dakota

The newly completed residence of
}. NJ. Wyard. editor of the Darlington
News, was burned to the ground last
week. 1t was llbut ready for occupancy,
and its destruction is supposed to have
been the work of some incamate wretch

sustains.
e. j. Ross, r. Curtiss, 2. Watson,
and R. E. Ross, of Adrian, Mich, have

All are immensely charmed with the
country, and Dr. Ross says he can hardly
believe his own eyes when he looks upon
the substantial young capital and con-
siders that it was wild prairie one year
ago. Mr.. Curtiss is a well-to-do farmer
of Lenawee county, and is so highly
pleased that he intends purchasing a
Griggs county farm and sending one of
his sons out here early next season with
a full complement of stock and imple-
ments to work it. "There's millions in
it," Mr.. Curtiss.
-Cooperstown will suffer the loss of
an able attorney, an everyday alike,
honorable and affable gentleman in the
departure of David Bartlett, ESQ.,, who
contemplates leaving for Boulder, Colo,
tomorrow or early next week. During
his residence here he has gained the
confidence and respect Of all who have
come in contact with him, just as the
Courier anticipated, and his departure
IS occasioned only by superior induce
ments held out to him at Boulder, where
he is known and appreciated. Though
regretting the change he is about to
make exceedingly, we heartily join his
army Of friends iii wishing him bon
voyage and that career of prosperity he
merits.
