Charity-Ball Invitations.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal,
notice in to-day's issue of the Journal your
comments regarding the charity ball / am not
finding fault with the management or the ball
proper, as ''warn't thar" and don't know any
thing about it. 1 must say, however, they were
rather strict with their invitations; but this was
owing, no doubt, to the fact that the committee
were careful to invite only the elite. Investiga-
ton developed the fact, to day, that in the build
ing where the writer's Office is located, and i'm
mediatey joining, there are six gentlemen. all
On the bachelor hss and all pretty well fixed
financially, none of whom received invita-
tons These gentlemen are not averse to the
society of ladies, and especially where the oppor-
tunity is thrown in for dong something for
sweet charity's" sake. l must add. however
that there is one gentleman in our neighborhood
who received an invitaton-a johnny jump-up
kind OF fellow, who wears high collar and
luxuriates in the enormous income of $40 week
My friend of the high collar tells me it was a
swell affair. and presume it was

Family Silver in the Mint.

Phladelphla Press.
'In the old days." says Colonel Snowden,
heaps Of family silver used to come to the mint
to be melted down, from people who had met
with financial reverses. During the last days of
my incumb ency of the Office of superintendent
much less used to come than formerly, because
plated ware had come into general use. l re-
member, once, that gentleman very well known
in Philadelphia society brought me splendid
design in silver that he desired to have reduced.
1t was gift to his wife on their wedding
and the thought Of parting with it was very
painful to him. 1t had cost probably S. 000 but
there was not more than $500 worth of bullion.
Instead of melting it at once l advanced him the
money for six months, and allowed the design to
remain in the vaults. At the end of that time
agreed to keep it intact for six months more. At
the consummation of the second period, he saw
me and said he could not see daylight yet. and
the bridal gift went into the melting pot. Three
weeks after that he dropped in on me to say
that fortune had smiled on him again, and that
he had made $4,000. He said he would have
given half of it to get his silver back in its old
form. Vain regrets of course The man is now
wealthy"

A TRAGIC AFFAIR IN BALTIMORE.
Young Woman, Deserted by Her Lover
Shoots Herself on the Street

Young Woman, Deserted by Her Lover,
Shoots Herself on the Street.
Baltimore Special
Shortly before noon today three handsome and
richly dressed women walked slowly down
Greene street toward German, and as thew
crossed Baltimore street the tallest and prettiest
of them gazed intently for moment at the occu-
pants of a hack that was just about stopping at
the sidewalk aud said:
my God, see; there he is now"
Her two friends hurried her on however, but
when she got almost to the corner of German
street she turned, and, looking back, saw two
women and young man get out of the carriage
and enter house.
Without word or an instant hesitation the
excited young woman drew a small revolver
from her pocket, and placing the muzzle in her
mouth, pulled the trigger, and before any one
could catch her she fell heavily to the pavement,
bleeding profusey
The wounded woman, who was taken to the
Maryland University Hospital. proved to be
Mary Gilchrist, aged eighteen years. For two
years she had been intimate with young man
named William Dugdale, aged twenty-four
Lately Dugdale left her and transferred his af-
fectlons to the TWO women who were with him in
the hack.
He says he was obliged to do this because
Mary became so jealous of him that he was
afraid she would kill him. why" said he,
she told me once that if she ever caught me
going with another woman she would blow the
gas out some night and suffocate me. and only
the other day met her on Baltimore street, and
she stopped me and then went down into her
pocket after pistol, l supposed; but cleared
out before she could draw it"
Sadie Gilchrist, the wounded girls sister, says
Dugdale had told her sister that if he did not
kill her he had Two women down town that would
do it for him, and her sister came to her and
repeated this, and added: Rather than have
them do it, I'll do it myself" and the shooting
was done in pursuance of this resolve, and in the
fear that they were then going to carry out the
threat expressed by Dugdale
The bullet went through the tongue, and lodged
In her neck. 1t is thought to be fatal wound.
Dugdale is of excellent family. Miss Gilchrist
resides on King street.

Another Disappointing Weeks Trade-The
Temperature Too Mild.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 81.
The mild temperature and apparent abund-
ance of nearly all articles of consumption con-
tinue to make trade dull and prices weak. The
market East and West is overstocked with
poultry, and dealers to-day would pay only Sc
for chickens and &c for turkies, with prospects
of no better prices next week. Arrivals Of eggs
and butter, as WELL are on the increase, and
although not quotably changed, they are
hardly as firm as in the early part of the
week. In groceries there is nothing new prices
ruling steady. In dry goods, as we'll. there is
little calling for special mention. The demand
is confined to absolute wants of seasonable, de-
sirable stuff. Collections are still lacking the
satisfactory condition we have been hoping for.
However the volume of business in jobbing cir
Giles is greater even now than last year at the
same time, but the increase is much less than
that shown during September and October.
Woolens continue very firm at the advanced
prices, and many styles continue scarce Cotton
goods are holding their own remarkably we'll in
the face OF the exceptionally large crop
of cotton raised this year. The Indianapolis
Grocer of to-day says 1.-THE trade situation is
one of moderate lethargy and opportune conser-
vatism. Money is in scant supply. The banks
nave Ialr reserves ana SOOO paper commands
money at low rates; but paper must be gilt edged
or the borrower gets more cold shoulder than
cash. There is more than mere rumor in the
talk of bank for which Meridian street is to
furnish the capital; this has been street gossip
for months, aud it originated in the change
from a generous to a rigidly economical policy
on the part of the banks. Many merchants
sought accommodations out OF town, and num-
Der transferred their bank accounts to New York
and Cincinnati. There was simply on both sides,
a question Of profit There has not been the
best of good feeling since the change of front on
the part of the moneyed institutions, and it is as
yet undecided what the merchants, who have
discussed banking, hope to do. The ''hog
money" is very slow in getting into circulation.
Corn money is no better. Until there is greater
pressure from outside farmers will part but
slowly with their farm products. The ignorance
of business, and the lack of rnethodcal habits in
buying and paying. makes even the safest farmer
a poor customer when it comes to finances. The
effect on trade is TO restrict it to limited bounda
ries beyond which there is no desire to stray.
The amount of trade will probably equal that OF
the same week of 1884, but even this is not meet
ing cherished hopes.

Another Murderer Turned Loose.

One of the most sensational murder trials in
the history of Maryland was concluded at An
napolis to-day by the acquittal of Thomas
Hance. The verdict caused great surprise The
lawyers defended the prisoner. Hance is cap
tain of bay schooner. He killed his wife one
Sunday night in Annie Herbert's bagnio in this
city. She was a beautiful woman, and he
married her out of house of prostitution. They
separated. She returned to the old life, and
then he renewed his visits to her at Herberts
house. Senator Voorhees, claimed that Hance
was insane, and that his insanity had its incep-

Historical Inaccuracies.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
IT the historical lectures which are to be de-
hvered to the school children of the city are to
be of any advantage they must be true to his
tory. Only think of man of Mr.. McCullochs
learning trying to palm upon the uniformed
infantile mind as veritable history such as this:
1.-THE education of the men of those days was
generally limited to the three RS, reading riting
and spelling!" And this could hardly be
attributed to lapse of the tongue for he re-
peated it several times Shades of Bancroft 1t
was reading 'riting and 'rithmetc.' Again,
and worse, for it contains fling at the good
taste as we'll as good sense of our ancestors he
said: "The bill of fare of the people meas
ured by the four his, ham, hominy, hoecake and
honey" 1t was hog, hominy, hoecake and
honey" Those noble worthless went the whole
hog or none. Let the lecturers read up in his
tory, and give no misleadlf statements, lest
great and permanent damags results TO the
tender minds. We want no partyisrn or sec
tarianism smuggled in through these historical
lecturers. r.. l.. SEE

An Unaccommodatipe Conductor.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal
The indianapolis & Vincennes railroad has its
employ a most unaccommodating, discourteous
and undiscriminating conductor in the person of
certain pompous individual whose name shall be
unknown. We who reside in small towns along
this road, do not go over it every day or every
week for pleasure alone, but mix some business
with pleasure, and 60 to Indianapolis occasional
ly for trading advantages. Our goods and chat
tells grow numerous and weighty, but as our fare
Is pretty high don't particularly like addition
al express charges especially as we have to stand
nire tenths of the time for lack of seats although
we have paid for and are entitled thereby to same
Notwithstanding this last our enterprising argus
eyed Joss pounces down upon our goods and
chattels, and HES them away to the express car,
and we pay an extra quarter or so for this priv
ilege. Query does Joss get per cent?
Last Monday business gentleman of the city,
who spends couple of days each week with his
family, at their country home near Mooresville
together with his wife and friends got upon the
basket. I will not affirm that it
was small Hotel accommodations are sparse
In the country, and they had subsisted upon
edibles contained in said lunch basket since the
Friday previous. No sooner had they entered
rear end of coach, and deposited same upon the
floor where it could not possibly be in anyones
way, than the irate Joss swooped down upon it
and bore his prey to the express car. Seats as
usual, were all taken, and the gentleman was
compelled to stand all the way home and nav
express charges on an empty basket into the
bargain. He must spend several hundred dol
lars annually i'll railroad fare. To my certain
knowledge he has taken over a hundred people
as his guests down to his place this summer
alone, not considering fare paid by his employees
both in city and country.
This is only one of many instances, and sim
cerely hope that we may yet have few privi-
leges on the |. & V. Am sure wish to observe
all rules that are reasonable, and would like to
feel comfortable in journeyings.
