instructed to make provision for a
Foreman, an Assistant Foreman, a

Of the Company.
E. c. Coffin, on behalf of the firm

pany with handsomely engraved
quadruple-plate gold lined silver
trumpet for the Foreman.
E. c. Coffin was then elected Fore
man, George kohlepp Assistant Fore
man, E. B. Lennon Secretary, and
J, M. Burkett, Treasurer.
Mr.. Coffin being called on, replied
that, as the firm of which he was a
member had presented the trumpet,
his election as Foreman placed him
in somewhat embarrassing position,
but as it was unsolicited by him, he
accepted the honor thrust upon him,
and would discharge the duties of the
Office to the best of his ability. He
would only consider his election tenn.
porary, however, until a more numer-
ously attended meeting should confirm
or disavow his election.

footed up to the amount of 800.
The |. & O. L. |. Co. had, besides,
agreed to donate the freight from
Omaha to Haley. At the request of
the committee who had the matter in
charge, Coffin Bros. had ordered a
hose cart and 500 feet of hose. To
this the firm named had added a do
nation of SO feet of hose, and Mr..
Bamberger, owner Of the house and
lot occupied by Coffin Bros. in HALEY
would probably give another so feet
thus making 600 feet of hose avail
able for use in case of fire. The hose
cart was ordered from the Babcock
company through a Chicago house
The price of such carts to all hose
companies was $3.50. But discount
of 10 per cent was allowed the Chic.
ago house, which had divided the sale
discount with Coffin Bros. But the
latter donated that discount or com

Tho bill introduced by Senator Randall
Gibson yesterday created ripple of interest
among tho democracy of the hotel lobhies
last evening. The proposition of the Louis
ana senator, in brief, is to remove tho limita-
ton of four years from the term of office of
collectors and surveyors of customs United
States district attorneys, judges of territorial
courts, surveyors and registers of the land
office, and other officers, as provided in sec.
tion 769, 1864, 2217, 22i4, and 26l3 of the
revised statutes, and provides that they shall
hold their positions until their successors
are appointed by the President and confirmed
by the senate, IL is predicted by several
senators that tho discussion of this bill will
develop some highly interesting facts, as it is
alleged that it is intended t. be an entering
wedge for an extended discussion of the civil
service ideas that, in spite of tho warning g
conveyed by the prospective defeat of Senator
Pendeton, appear to have taken deep root in
the minds of democratic lawmakers.

Marie PrescOtt's Libel Suit.

New YORK, Jan. THE libel suit brought
by Marie Prescott, the actress, against Sin.
clair Toucey, the president of the American
News company, was decided to-day by the
general term Of the superior court on appeal.
The action was brought to recover $4,000
damages for the publication and circulation
of an alleged libel The company denied that
the words complained OF were libelous and
said that the newspapers were distributed
without the knowledge that they contained
any lihelous matter, and also that the alleged
libelous article was true. On the trial the
jury gave a verdict in favor of Miss Prescott
for $4,000. The company appealed from this
Judgment, and also from an order denying a
motion for new trial. Judges Truax and
Ingraham gave opinions reversing the iudg-
ment and directing new trial in the case.
Chief Justice Sedgwck dissented from the
views of his associate Judges.

Iating 20 u in the Hands of the
Senate.
Secretary Teller sent TO tho senate yester.
day copies Of the voluminous records and cor.
respondence relating to tho land grant Of the
New Orleans Pacific railroad. They embody
history of tho grant which WAS originally
made to the New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and
Shreveport Railroad company, and after the
lapse of some years during which no portion
of tho road was constructed) was assigned by
1t to the Now Orleans Pacific Railroad com.
pany Dec. 30 1880.

1t maps were sent to the land offices in Now
Orleans, under which the company selected
579069 acres of land.
Tho commissioner Of the general land office

THE NTAyREE MURDER.
New Clcyv Discovered nnd the Interest
In tho Tragedy nevIvcd.


LoNU Island CRY, IT, J., Jan 7.-Gnterest
in the mysterious tragedy enacted at the lit.
tlo hamlet of Brookviilo, l., L., OH Nov. 10
last, Of which Mrs. Lydia Maybee and her
daughter Annie were the victims, was re-
vived few days ago by the fact becoming
known that District Attorney FlomminR had
started detectives of TO New Jersey in search
Of the supposed murderer, The people living
in tho vicinity of Brookvlle, the authorities,
and the detectives engaged in the case have
settled down to the conclusion that the per-
petrator Of the crimo is to be found nearer
homo than Jersey or Farmingdnlo. Already
a strong chain of evidence has been obtained
confirming the theory that certain persons
in the noighborhOod committed the horrible
deed, and it is not improbable that that tho
prediction of Detective Payne that the MUIR
derer will soon be arrested may be fulfilled.
1t is said that old Mr. Maybec has expressed
his belief that one OF these suspected persons,
whose names are withheld for obvious rea-
sons, was the man who assaulted his daughter
year ago, and also struck him with his
stick, after robbing the house On the day OF
the murder. The rough weather and heavy
SHOWS OF the past fnw weeks havo materially
interiercd with the work Of the detectives,
but their confidence that the mystery sur.
rounding the terrible affair will be eventu-
nlly solved, is not by any means diminished.

A 100000 Libel Salt.

New YORK, Jan. "A libel suit, in which
IL is sought to obtain $4,000, has been brought
by Gen. Ramon Paez against George A. Phil
lips. The libclous matter is alleged to have
been contained in correspondence between
the defendant and the secretary of state of
the government of Venezuela relative to the
removal of the remains of Gen. Pace, known
as the "Liberator," the father of the plaintiff,
from this city to Bogota. The government of
the United States of Colombia made an appro-
priation of $4,000 for this purpose, and the
plaintiff alleges that Phillips has charged
him with falsehood and an attempt to secure
from this appropriation personal benefit. An
application was made to-day on behalf Of the
defendant for bill OF particulars. The judge
reserved his decision.

THE ONE DOLLAR NOTES.
The Secretary OF the Treasury Wants MI
Appropriations for Printing.

Appropriation for Printing.
The secretary Of the treasury hns written a
letter to the SPEAKER of the house of repre-.
sontatives in regard to the issue of United
States notes, in which he says that since the
suspension by the national banks of the issue
of 81 and 50 notes in accordance with section
5175 of the revised statutes, which went Into
effect lau, /, 1879, the demand for United
States notes of those denominations has
greatly increased. \ table is inclosed show
ing the changes which have taken place
in the different denominations of notes
during the past five years and since the
national banks ceased to issue notes of less
denomination than So The table shows the
rapid increase in the circulation OF Is and
2s since 1870 From June 80 TO Dec. 81, 1888,
the increase in circulation CT Is was S30i2, ,03l
and of % 81, l62,14 The amount Of such
notes destroyed during the same time was
A,799,003 in Is and 1851, $50 in 2s, making
the amount OF Is actually issued in the six
months ended Dec. 81 1883, Sl,S4l ,OOo and of
IS $6,l44,OG0. Four notes are printed on each
sheet, requiring for the Is 100000 sheets and
for tho 2s 16S 900 sheets, in all 2,2S 900 sheets
The estimated cost of preparing this number
of sheets for delivery to the treasury is $685.
$50, or $50 for each 1000 sheets. Assuming
that the demand for the ls' and 2s will
not be less for tho last half of the
fiscal year than it has been for the first half,
the secretary says it is manifest that the
present appropriation is far less than is nee
essary to supply tho demand for them, and
for the notes of other denominations, with
the gold and silver certificates The demand
for silver certificates has nearly exhausted
the reserve. An additional appropriation is
also necessary for the redemption of worn,
mutilated, or defaced notes, and to supply
the demand for gold and silver certificates
during the current fiscal year. The
secretary says that if no further
appropriation is made the department
will be compelled in order to keep in circula-
tion the amount of United States notes re-
guired by act Of congress and to keep within
the present appropriation, to suspend or re-
duce the issue of ones and two's. The cost
of printing 81 note and a fl 600 note is the
same 1t is believed that the present appro-
priation is sufficient to supply the demand for
gold and silver certificates, and for United
States notes Of denominations of $5 and up
ward If the demand for lower denomina-
tions is to be answered as heretofore, an ad-
ditional appropriation of at least Sl5O,oO0 is
required" :"
