the deadly conflict. Faulkner, however,
after few sharp struggles, seized Woodalls
left wrist and gave him quick jerk, which
brought him to his knees. AS he fell Faux
ner plunged his knife into him Just below
the heart. No sooner had Faulkner tri-
umphcd over his enemy than he turned 10

silver and Gold Certificates.
New YORK, August 8th.-A Washington
special says: 1t can be authoritatively
stated that the Treasury Department does
not under any circumstances which are
| likely to arise intend to indugurate policy
of forcing silver out OF the Treasury in any
quantity in payment of interest or in re-
demption of United States bonds The de-
cision of Secretary Folger, to restrict the
payments of gold certificates, does not
| mean that the department will make any
special effort to compel New York banks to
take silver certificates. The Treasury now
holds Il large amount of available United
States legal tenders. between $25, 600 900
and $50 900, 900, and instead OF paying out
, gold coin and gold certificates so freely in
New York, It is expected legal tender notes
will be more largely utilized in the settle
ment of Clearing house balances.

If NEW York, August Sth. = The Post
l. Washington special says: ''An examina
