Against the Coinage.

SARATOGA, August 13.-The American
Bankers Association assembled in annual
convention this morning. There was quite
large representation of prominent bank
ers. The meeting was called to order by
president Lyman j. Gage of Chicago, who
delivered the inaugural address. Treasurer
Bakers report showed balance of $6,394.
Secretary Marsland read resolution SUBJ
mitted by the executive council, as fol-
lows:
Resolred, That it is the sense of the
American Bankers Association that the
coming of standard silver dollars of 4129
grains is against the welfare of the coun-
try, and recommend to Congress a discon-
tinuance Of such coinage
Geo. Butler concurred with the resOlu-
tion and thought the government should
suspend the coinage of silver until other
countries joined with the United States.
Mr.. Groesbeck, of Cincinnati, by request,
addressed the convention. He favored
bi-metalic currency and went ON to show
that for centuries gold and silver had been
of equal value as currency. The change
took place 1871 or 1872. What had been
done in the past could be done in the fu
ture. 1t might be impossible for one coun
try to carry gold and silver alone for its
currency, and he favored under present
conditions the suspension of silver coinage
in the United States until other nations
took action on the subject.
4 vote of thanks was extended to GTOes
beck, and the resolution was then adopted.

A BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
An Indian Attempts TO Escape from
Jail and is Shot Down.

Yellowstone Journal
Monday morning those in the vicinity of
the Miles City court house were startled
by the reports of four shots that were
heard in quick succession from the rear of
the jail, and soon afterward it was found
that they resulted from an attack on
Jailer James COnley in an attempt made
to escape by Prairie Chicken, one of the
three Crow Indian prisoners who were
confined in the Jail on the joint charge of
cattle killing on the Hubbard & Thomp
son range. At breakfast time Prairie
Chicken had succeeded in slipping out be-
hind the ,jailer, whose revolver he at
tempted to secure. In the scuffle the re-
volver was discharged, the ball striking
the woodwork of the wall. The Indian
fought his way up the basement steps and
into the Jail yard. After a terrific strug-
gle with both the sheriff and the taller,
during which the Indian received two
wounds, shot from the sheriff's revolver
struck Prairie Chickens forehead and
pierced his brain. DR.. Wood, the county
physician, was promptly on hand, but
finding the brain matter oozing from the
wound in the head, declared it fatal.
Throughout his confinement Prairie
Chicken exhibited very peculiar charac-
teristics bordering on insanity. Some of
our citizens were disposed to blame the
officers for using their revolvers so freely,
but in the light of what is developed re-
garding the struggle, they appear to have
acted entirely in self-defense.

Henry Was Shot.

Boston, August 13.-A special from
Portsmouth, N. H., says: Early this morn
ing Col. Kent obtained an interview with
Greely, who admitted he had Henry shot
The military execution took place on the
9th of June. AS early as March it was
suspected that Henry was stealing the
limited food which was apportioned out to
the survivors, and this fact being finally
and positively ascertained, Lieut. Greedy
had thereafter hard work to protect the
mans life. 1t became necessary in order
to keep up discipline to inform Henry that
he would be 81 1t if the practice was con-
tinued and that similar fate would be
meted out to any other member of the
party detected in like crime. If Henry
had been permitted to continue his steal
ing unmolested, the balance of the party
would surely have starved to death and
Henry alone survived. After, and in spite
of these warnings, Henry was again de-
tected stealing provisions among the food
taken being two pounds of bacon, the eat
ing of so much of which made him sick,
and search was then instituted.
When found, Henry had, among other
articles, stolen and secreted pair of seal
skin boots which had belonged to the hun
ter of the party. Lieut.. Greedy was there
fore forced, in order to maintain military
discipline and protect the lives of his other
comrades, to issue written order that
Henry be shot, which order was carried in
to effect June 9th. As to the alleged can
nibalism, Greedy says if there was anything
of the kind it must have been an individ-
nal act and not general. Nothing of the
kind, however, came under his personal
observation. Sergt. Brainerd confirms the
statement. Greely has forwarded to the
secretary of war detailed report of the
execution. A court of inquiry will un-
doubtedly be ordered.
NEW YORK, August 13.-The story that
John B. Henry, of the Greedy expedition,
was killed and portion of his body eaten,
caused much excitement in the neighbor-
hood of Cypress Cemetery. Application
was made to Coroner Robinson by persons
not related to Henry to have the body ex-
humed and an inquest held. The laws of
this State, in cases where person dies
outside OF the State, but buried in it, per-
nit the coroner of the county to determine
whether there is cause for an inquest. The
coroner will take counsel on the matter
to-day

General Logan and Party.

NEwBURG, N. Y, August 9.-General }.
4. Logan and party arrived here this at
ternoon. They visited Washington head
quarters A large and enthusiastic crowd
was in attendance.
WATERFOWL, N. Y, August 14.-Gen.
Logan and party arrived here at noon from
Utica. They were greeted along the route
by crowds, who cheered and fired can mons.
At Carthage crowd gathered and in re-
sponse to calls for a speech Logan re-
sponded briefly.
WATERFOWL, n. Y, August 14.-The
armory was crowded with members of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which was
especially we'll represented on the plat
form, which was occupied by many Of the
leading statesmen and citizens of western
New York Senator Lansing, as chairman,
introduced Gen. Logan, who was enthusi-
astically received. His remarks occupied
about twenty minutes and were listened to
very attentively, being frequently inter
rupted by applause. At the conclusion of
his speech, Senator Miller responded to
calls and spoke about ten minutes and was
followed by Comrades Hall and Phelps, ar
ter which an opportunity was given to all
to clasp Gen. Logan's hand. After the re-
ception a grand dinner was given at the
Woodruff house. Logan and party will
continue on their way to the Thousand
Islands this afternoon

Ohio Soldiers Home Trouble.

DAYTON, O., August I3.-The Congress
sonal investigation committee continued
it's examination of the Soldiers Home.
Thirty-five men were picked up haphazard
and testified that they had no complaint to
make; had heard growing of the strict
discipline, but were well behaved and
generally contented.
General Patrick began statement, dis
posing of each witness, and then began an
arraignment OF the press Politics and
whisky, he said, was the cause OF the
principal trouble The press had been un-
Just in Dayton and throughout the land in
publishing one sided sensations, and
thereby increased the complaints OF both
soldiers and citizens against him. He had
read the private letters of General Rose
Grams and General Franklin, IN which
Rosecrans intimates that Patrick must be
removed from the GovernOrship for pOliti-
cal reasons that the opposition of Muir
ray was such that General Franklin might
be defeated for President of the Board OF
Managers of the Soldiers Home. He says
Mr.. Murray, who is very candid and Ju-
dicious manager and from that district,
SAYS it will cost the Democracy from 5000
to $4,000 votes in his district to keep Gen.
Patrick. General Franklin replied that
General Rosecrans was misinformed about
Patrick's popularity, and that Murray's
statement was not true and If you believe
Murray's statement should be investigated
and knowing Patrick, he could not enter
tain the idea of advocating his dismissal.
Murray is pledged to get me out, and he
is unscrupulous in his efforts to obtain that
result.
The reading of these letters caused con-
sternation with Rosecrans, Murray and Slo-
cum.
The chairman asked if these letters were
not private and was answered III the
affirmative, still they treat of public ques-
tions. The chairman said they were prl-
vate let tiers.
Gen. Patrick answered: "You will have
settl e that with Gen. Franklin. GER
.ainly would not have used them without
authority"
Gen. Rosecrans simply wants it under
stood that those are private correspondence
The committee adjourned and tonight
were in conference.

no Truth in the Story.

PHILADELPHIA, August 14.-Major Jno
H. Gardiner, father of Sergeant Gardiner,
the last but one of the Greedy expedition
to die, received letter to-day from
Lieutenant Greedy expressing the hope
that Major Gardiner will not believe the
horrible story of cannibalism which has
been set af1oat, declaring that there is not
particle of truth in it. He says Sergeant
Gardiner died of inflammation of the
bowels and water on the heart, and was
buried in the ice because the survivors
were too weak to dig grave in the sand.
He died June 18th, just ten days before
the rescue, and four days before the death
of Private Bender, who was the last of the
party to die at Cape Sabine.

Helena, Montana, Thursday, August II, 1884.
Denial from Lieut. Greely.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., August 13.-As far
as the reports of cannibalism are concerned
Lieut.. Greedy says they are false. OF his
own knowledge he knows of nothing of the
kind, and the survivors all Indignantly
deny it. If any cannibalism took place
Lieut.. Greely emphatically says it was
secret and not INDUCED in by the party.
To the best of his knowledge there was
none. Why, said Lieut.. Greely, why did
we not allow poor Ellison to die if we were
so past the line between hnman beings and
savages? Why did we share our food with
him to the last drop? Indeed Lieut.
Greely's logic is unanswerable. Lieut..
Greedy says he has never seen the bodies
since they were disinterred, and does not
know what their condition is. AS to the
Times statement that he did not wish the
bodies disinterre0, Lieut.. Greedy said, that
often in talking over what seemed to be
our fate, the men all expressed wish to
buried on the verge of the great Polar
Sea, by whose shores they met their death
Out of Difference to the solemn wishes of
the dead | spoke against disinterring the
bodies, and for no other reason. If | had
died l should have wished my grave in
the north. All through the retreat, disci
pline, with the exception of Henry's thefts,
was we'll maintained. All yielded implicit
obedience, even to the last dreaded day on
Cape Sabine. A verbal report was made to
Gen. Hazen by Lieut.. Greedy shortly after
the arrival of the relief expedition at Ports
mouth in regard to the execution of Henry.
Gen. Hazen said, 1T was not only justi-
fable, but the noblest thing of the expedi-
tion. A written report, submitted by
Greedy to the War Department few days
ago, fully covers Henry's case, and a court
martial is asked for by Lieut.. Greedy if the
facts seemed to warrant it. In closing
Lieut.. Greely said: II regret the response
bility ofdeciding in the Henry case, ,as itwas
thrust upon me, but / feel | should have
failed in my duty to the rest of the noble
men of my command had l not acted as |
did" Lieut.. Greedy goes to Newburyport
tomorrow to reception. His comrades
will not accompany him, as Private Conn
has been seized with slight fever, and the
others will not 60 unless all can 60.
Greedy will return here Friday morning.

degree of enthusiasm, went wild with ex-
citement. Sullivan made brief but elO-
quent speech, after which the Convention

dent, and the nomination was seconded by
the most prominent men present in eulO-
CYSTIC speeches.

rising vote, and upon being conducted to
the platform, said:

character prevent my acceptance of the
position"
His resignation was regrettully accepted
by the convention.

THE EDITOR.

Tn eeditor sat in his easy chair,
He doesn't look easy, tho he's there.
His forehead is high, his scanty hair,
And his brow is deeply furrowed by care /;
And oft there floats upon the air
A very subdued editorial swear,
For few can tell, or, indeed, few care
What the editorial mind must bear,
The editor sharpens his pencil tip,
And he writes his copy slip after slip:
Then he sends his devil" off on trip
To composing-room, and says now nip."
His filters he then commences to clip,
And the brush in paste-pot goes dip, dip,
AS he'll write an electoral whip;
For oh, you must know, the editors flip.
The editors work is never done,
He works from rise till set of sun;
He's there at A. NJ, which meaneth One,
And the outside public think its fun.
His mind is ever on the run.
And his brain must always weigh ton;
Yet withal he's jovial son of gun
Tho the editors lots not happy one.
