COMMODORE GARRISON DEAD.
After an Illness of a Few Hours
he Dies OF Paralysis OF
the Heart.


NEW YORK, May 1.-COmmodore Cor
nelius K Garrison died at his late residence,
40 Park avenue, this city, just before noon
to-day. He drove to his Office ON Bowling
Green on Wednesday, and ON Thursday
took his usual drive in the park, accom-
panied by his wife. This morning he COM
planned of being ill, and at 10 o'clock was
visited by DR.. Fordyce Barker, who gave
him medicine for bronchitis. At noon
the commodore felt worse and
Mrs. Garrison again called the
doctor. This time DR.. Barker brought Dr.
Keyes with him. The commodore was put
to bed, where he died at 1 o'clock, of paral-
ysis of the heart. He was 76 years Of age.
Eight years ago he had a stroke of paraly-
sis which has affected his entire right side
ever since. On Thursday evening he enter
tanned some friends at dinner and was
unusually bright He talked about
his assignment of last June,
and said that he would soon
have all the property back in his own
hands. He spoke freely of business
projects and enterprises. Jocularly, he re-
marked that he had paid $500, 900 too much
in the settlement of the Marie Garrison
suit. During Grants illness the commodore
and his young wife were almost daily visit
ors. The deceased leaves, besides widow
and daughter, Mrs. Van Auken, four broth
ers and a sister. His eldest brother, Abram,
is in Pittsburg. The surplus of the estate
is estimated to be worth from 50, 600, 900 to

distinguished Appointment.

WASHINGTON, DC, May 1.-Hon. John
Goode, of Virginia, who was to-day ap-
pointed solicitor general Of the United
States, is native of Virginia, Sc years of
age, and was admitted to the bar in 1851.
In the same year he was elected a member
of the Virginia legislature, and in 1861 was
a member of the Virginia convention which
adopted the ordinance Of secession. He was
a member of the Confederate congress dur
ing the war and was a representative in the
Forty-fourth, Forty-ffth and Forty-siXth
congresses. He was member of the elect
oral college in 1882 and 1856, and was a
delegate to the national Democratic conven-
ton in 1868 and a member of the Democratic
executive committee from 1868 to 1876.
William M. Merrick of Maryland, who was
to-day appointed associate justice of the
supreme court Of the District of Columbia,
is one of family of prominent lawyers.
His father, William D. Merrick, was one of
the most prominent lawyers Of Maryland
and was United States senator from that
state from 1886 to 1S45. One Of his
brothers, Richard T. Merrick, of this city,
has national reputation, and his younger
brother, George c., is a prominent lawyer
of Prince George county, Md. He himself
began the practice of law in this city in
1871, and was appointed by President Pierce
associate justice of the old circuit court
of the District of Columbia. This court
was abolished by an act of congress in
1863, and Judge Merrick resumed the prac-
tice of law in Maryland. In 1877 he was
elected to congress from the Fifth Maryland
district and served in the commit
tee which investigated the credit
mobilier scandal, making the prin-
cipal speech upon the subject when
the report was made to congress. The sal
ary-grab act was passed during this con-
gress, but Judge Merrick opposed it and re-
fused to take his back pay. Since his re-
tirement from congress he has continued to
practice law. He was born in Charles
county Md, and is about 66 years Of age.

WASHINGTON, May lone month ago
attention was called in these dispatches not
merely to the decrease of gold and the in
crease OF silver owned by the government,
but to the fact that the decrease of gold and
the increase OF silver was going on in accel-
Grating ratio. A striking exhibit Of
that fact is made in the treasurer's
statement of assets and liabilities
to-day. On Jan. Q, 1884, the government
owned $154, 900, 900 of gold; on Jan. 1, 1885,
it owned $141 ,000,00 of gold, drease of a
little more than million month. Three
months later, April l, 1885, it owned $125,-
000,0 900 Of gold, a decrease of more than
SIS, 600, 900 month. The exact figures for
a month ago were $125, 793, 256. To-day the
government owns SIT, 927, 1874 of gold, a loss
in thirty days of $7,S65, S62. At the
rate of loss for the past month the gold in
the treasury would last fifteen months, but
as each month shows much larger decrease
than the month before, it may be doubted
whether the supply of gold will last
until the end of the calender year. Of
course this reduction of the stock of gold is
due to the fact that the government
is paying out gold, and taking in
silver. Last FeDruafy some new Ofk
bankers expressed to high officer
of the treasury their opinion that if silver
coinage was suspended by August, 1886, it
would be soon enough to prevent any change
in the monetary standard, but at the rate at
which the governments gold is turning to
silver, it will have lost all its gold, and will
have to compel its creditors to take silver
long before August Of next year.
Mr.. Manning will be fortunate if he keeps
his nose above the rising silver tide until
congress meets. Whether congress will
come to his relief is doubtful.

the Fifth precinct Although the returns as
canvassed, giving Harrison 26S and Smith
245 votes, were the same as published after
the election, the fact that they differed from
the published returns was used by the Dem

judges, which was done. There was no
