T. Pluribus Unum.


"Did you know that the words E Plurl-
bus Unum, which have appeared on diff
ferent United States coins, and are on the
standard silver dollar. were never au-
thorized to be so placed by law?' asked
the numismatist of a Sun reporter.
"NO. When were they first usedT'
sin 1876. There was no United States
mint then, but there was private one at
NewDurg, and the motto Of the United
States was first placed on a copper coin
struck at that mint. A very few collec-
tions have specimens Of this coin. They
are very valuable. In 1887 a goldsmith
named Brasher coined piece which was
known as the S16 gold piece, and the mot
to, placed in this form, 'Unum Z Pluribus,'
was stamped upon it. The coin is worth
to-day $1,000, and only four are known TO
be in existence. In 1877 the motto also
appeared on various copper coins OF the
State of New Jersey.
ga great many of our early coins, be-
fore there was any legal authority for
national coinage here, were made in Eng
land. The State of Kentucky had some
IN England in 1891 and bore the national
motto. The United States mint was es-
tablished in 1892, but the use Of the motto
on any Of the gold, silver or copper coins
was not authorized or directed by any Of
the provisions of the act establishing It.
The motto had not appeared on any Of our
cCins since 1887, until the standard silver
dollar was coined. It remained on our
early gold and silver coins until 1884,
when it was omitted from the gold coins.
In 1888 it was dropped from the 25-cent
piece and the following year from all
silver coins"

SENSATIONAL LOVE AFFAIR.
\ Romeo EndeavOrs to Secure His I'm
prisoned Juliet by Writ of Habeas
CorDus


A remarkable sensation was caused on
the streets at late hour Friday night by
the announcement that a Sheriff had ar
rived here from Tiffin, Ohio, to serve a
writ of habeas corpus on the daughter of
one of the prominent citizens of our town,
who was said to be locked up in her faith
er's house. 1t seems that the Young lady
had lover that the parents did not look
upon with favor and who was forbidden
the house. But the two met clandestinely,
cOufted and became engaged. Meanwhile
a second lover made his appearance, and
for the last six months has paid her
marked attention. Lover No. l, finding
himself in danger of losing his prize.
made arrangement to elOpe, but unwiselv
cOntided the secret to several friends.
The facts came to the hearing Of
the girls parents, who, it is said,
took effective measures for thwart-
ing their designs by locking the young
lady in her house. Lover No. 1, who, by
the way, is a prominent young German
business man of the town, learning the
facts, went to Tiffin and had issued a writ
of habeas corpus, intending to marry the
girl as soon as she appeared before the
Judge. When the Sheriff appeared
at the house the father became white
with rage, the mother went into spasms,
and for awhile her life was despaired
of, while crowds gathered at the house
with revOlvers, causing intense excite
ment. Had the lover appeared at the
house with the Sheriff there is but little
doubt that a terrible tragedy would have
occurred, as both parties were deadly in
in earnest. In the dilemma the girls
parents sent for minister and en-
deavored to have her marry lover No. ,,
who was by her side, but she refused,
and, under the circumstances, her mother
lying unconscious in spasms, refused to
20 with the Sheriff. Thus matters now
stand. The case creates great excite
ment on account of the high standing of
the girl, who is a pretty young lady,
about p years old. Lover No. 1 had fur
nished her an elaborate trOusseau, which,
it is stated, she made up at the house of
mutual friend. Public sympathy is
evenly divided between the parents of
the girl and her lover.

THE YEARS PIG IRON.
100000 Less Rails Used Last Year Than
in the Year Previous.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6.-Secretary
Swank, of the American Iron and Steel
Association, is preparingh is annual re-
port of the iron and steel trade of the
United States for 1888. He says that he
is able now to estimate closely the years
production of pig iron, which he puts
down as equal to that Of 1852, ,623, 1923
tons. The consumption of pig iron has
been about 4,94s,323 tons. The pro-
duction of steel rails in 1888 has
fallen off below that of 1882.
There were also made probably 100000
tons less of iron rails than in 1882. The
total rail tonnage of 1892 was 1901 ,SS1
gross tons, of which 203, ,459 tons were
iron rails and 1,304,392 steel rails.
The total rail production for 1888
has been probably 1900, 900 gross tons, of
which 100000 tons were steel rails. Our
imports Of steel rails for 1888 has been
about 100000 gross tons, as against 200,-
COO tons in 1882. In round numbers our

\ LITTLE "REMINISCENCES
What NeweIrs Diary Shows.

A Washington special says: "a little
reminiscence of the carpet-bag era comes
to light in the transmission by Secretary
Teller to the Senate of all the papers re-
lating to the proposed transfer of the
Texas Pacific Railroad land grant to the
Southern Pacific Railroad. One Newell
seems to be the gentleman who did the
negotiating with the congressman, and he
records in his diary that be agreed to paw
Senator kellogg, of Louisiana, and Rice
and Mcdonald, of Arkansas, 5000. 600 in
first mortgage land grant bonds and SI10,-
900 in cash, half when the bill passed the
Senate and the other half when it became
a law. As often happens, Mr.. NewelPs
wicked partners, who were to fur
nish the money, did not come up
to their agreement, so he was
good enough to turn over his diary
and other documents to the Interior De-
partment. Last May Representatives
Dunn, of Arkansas, Cobb, of Indiana, and
Rosecrans, of California, filed protests
against the issuance of land certificates,
and the appointment OF a commissioner
to view the completed road ON the ground
that the grant should be forfeited because
the Northern Pacific was in face the Gem
tral Pacific, and no competitor at all Of
the latter road, They insisted that the
object of the grant, which was to aid in
the building Of a competing road was de-
feated when it was sought to transfer it
from the Texas Pacific to the Southern
Pacific. Thus the matter stands. A fight
will be made at this session on one side
to get the certificates and on the other to
forfeit the grant. The cause of the latter
is considerably damaged by Secretary
Teller's Enclosures.

ArAKING AN EXANrPLE.
Mr.. Morris Ranger Expelled from the
Liverpool Cotton Brokers' AssOcia-
tion.

Liverpool Cotton Brokers' AssOcia-
tion.
Manchester Guardian, Dec. Il.
As we reported yesterday, a general
meeting of the Liverpool Cotton Associa.
tion was held on Monday to consider s.the
compulsory retirement" of Mr.. Morris
Ranger. The circumstances under which
the members were called together, as
explained by several speakers, were,
says the Liverpool Post, as follows:
Upon his failure Mr.. Ranger sent
an intimation Of his suspension to
the directors, supposing, like most
other members, that this was tan
tamouBt to resignation. The directors.
in reply, requested him to send
in his books and papers for examination
Mr.. Ranger returned that these were in
the hands of his creditors, where they
could be inspected. He in this letter
definitely rendered his resignation. By
refusing to accept this the directors
created a good deal of surprise. Their
explanation yesterday was that the
failure of a member does not carry with
it his resignation, but only his suspension
from membership, and in proof of this
they directed attention to the rules, which
contain no provision for resignation.
They considered that the case of Mr..
Ranger called for special treatment, and
hence the meeting. The general tone of
the speeches was to the effect that it was
necessary to make an ex-
ample of some one, and that Mr.,
Ranger was the most conspicuous some
one available tor the purpose of
pointing a moral. Much solicitude was
manifested for the credit of the city. for
the proprieties of business in general.
and cotton trading in particular. A di-
vision was taken. and a resolution eX-
pelling Mr.. Ranger was carried by a large
majority. 1t was not mentioned at the
meeting that three brokers who failed
Immediately after Mr.. Ranger, after en-
during suspension for a few days, were
restored TO full membership III the asso-
tion by the directors. Nor was attention
called to the fact that when two brokers
recently committed felonies (for which
one is at present in gaol) the directors
took the responsibility Of privately re-
moving their names from the association
without calling any meeting or proposing
any resolution of expulsion
