Marion Record: Just as we were
going TO press the startling intelligence
OF Q suicide committed In this city
reached US and we give as near as can be
obtained at present the particulars of the
case. The victim Is one William Crow,
carpenter, who came here from
Lyndon, some two years ago, and has
been employed a considerable por-
ton OF that time. by Mr.. Wake
field. He is about tWenty-eight or
thirty years of age and is said
to have been rather loose in his morals.
It appears that after Mr.. Calhoun's ar
rest he made q confession to the sheriff
duplicating this man in some way. and
when he learned that the grand jury
were investigating his case he approach.
ed the father Of one of the girls and ac-
cused him of having made the complaint
and being the leader in the prosecution.
This the parent denied, at the same
time telling Grow that he knew whether
or not he was guilty, and II not
TO deny 1t. Crow then made some
evasive reply, saying that he would
stand the chances of q trial, but
would kill himself before he would be
taken to jail. About / O'Clock this al
teInoon q pistol report was heard In the
direction of the depot, and but few
moments elapsed ere the news was widC
spread that he had shot himself at thu
residence of j. ]. Phillips, on Fourth
street. Investigation proved the repor
correct. His body was found OF
q couch in the front room with . buIle
hole through his head, just above hi
ears, the bali lodging in the wall.

THE TREASVRY'S SPECTI


Chicago News: A csblegrsm says that
the increase in the silver reserves of the
great European banks begins to alarm
the bankers, and that, though there is
over q milliard francs of silver in the
bank of France. the government makes
no attempt to solve the problem. On
looking up the figures we fnd in this
connection that on January 1, 1881, the
bank of France, bank Germany and
the United States treasury held between
them &4l0Os6.sSO in silver,
while on January l, 1885,
the same institutions held the enor-
NOUS sum of &491, 952, no in the same
metal. We find, also. that while the
growth of silver in store in these depos-
Itories has been steady that of gold has
been intermittent and irregular. In
both gold and silver the growth has,
however, been Iarge-in the period in
cluded the increase being SIS, 800, coo in
gold and &IOl. 4Oo. 900 in SILVER. The
figures In the meantime show that from
occupying the second place among the
great specie repositories of the
world the United States treas.
ury now occupies the first place
Thus, while the United States treasury
holds S415. 40 900 in specie. the Bank
of France holds but S41O,96l $40, the
the Bank of England but sos. 274, 4SO
and the Bank of Germany but $134, 500.
coo. Adding the specie 10 the New
York banks and the United States holds
over $500. 000, O0O of specie in reserve fol-
the protection OF Its paper currency. Or
| which is also the depository CT che
British government, holds not q Rreai
deal over one-fifth of this vast sum.
