A Waterbury Conn special says ::
The most atrocious case Of brutality on
the part of schoolmaster that has ever
occurred in this section is reported
from the country town of Prospect.
The principal Of the school was formerly
a resident Of this town. His name is
Richard llotchkiss. For years he made
fine living as grocer here. Later he
travelled extensively and acquired
flesh, which gave him a weight Of
some 200 solid pounds. Recently he
moved TO Prospect and got place on
East-District School Committee. an
office of as much Importance in Pros
pect as that of Mayor Grace's in New
York. His first step was to remove
the young-lady teacher and establish
his own large self in her place. His
reputation for possessing high temper
was soon established. lie furnished an
exhibition of it last Friday. Albert,
young son Of George Chandler,
well.to-do farmer, had in some
way piqued son Of the peda.
gogue. Mr.. Hotchkiss accordingly
tlogged the boy until he became rebel
lious. Then he threw him on the floor
and jumped upon him repeatedly. After
this he refused to let the boy go home,
Notwithstanding his complaints of ill
ness, until school closed. Then the boy
went home and to bed, where he still
lies. A doctor from Cheshire found his
ribs broken, rupture, and several
other serious internal injuries The
community at once became highly en-
rsged. Tonight it is announced that
the boy cannot live over night. A
search for Mr.. Hotchkiss is being made
this evening.

Lord Dusiiey's Tomb.
London Truth.

A large vault in the crypt of Great
Whitley church IS being prepared as a
mausoleum for the late Lord Dudley,
who was temporarily buried in the
former family vault of the Foleys, in
another part of the church. The vault
is being lined with marble and granite,
and the coffin is to be enclosed in a
sarcophagus of granite, which will be
placed in the centre of the vault. The
parish church almost adjoins the man
sion of Whitley Court. 1t was restored
and enlarged by the late Lord Dudley,
and the interior is very ornate.

Com.

We said yesterday, as we had said
before, that there was no man living
who could tell how much gold coin it is
necessary to have in this country in
order to keep silver al par with gold.
The two are equal now in all the mar
kets Of this country. No man can with
hundred gold dollars purchase more than
a hundred silver dollars. Itdoes not fol-
low that persistent protestation against
the use of silver will not eventually
depreciate this metal. Ii the northern
and eastern papers had commenced
eight years ago to denounce greenbacks
and bank notes as " fraudulent dol
lars" and had kept up that denuncia-
ton until now-as they have done in
the case Of si.ver-greenbacks and bank
notes would to-day be far below the
par Of gold. The demand for their re-
demption would have caused suspen-
sion Of specie payments, and they would
consequently have fallen as they did
during the war between the States.
A person who has not posted himself
on these questions is sometimes sur
prised by hearing facts stated that other
persons are familiar with; as for exam
pie the following: The receipts at the
New York custom-house for the year
1885 were sl25, 100000. OF these
only the sum Of 81, $4,000 was paid
in gold, and only sl5s,00O in silver.
In other words, only one dollar in a
hundred was paid in gold, and only ten
cents in a hundred dollars was paid in
silver.
In view Of such facts, and in view OF
the fact that there was apaper circula.
tion Of only about two hundred mil
lions Of dollars in the whole United
States up 70 the year 1861, and
smaller circulation Of specie, it is, WI
repeat, impossible for anybody to know
how much gold, or how much silver, i
needed in this country. A currency o
paper--sreenbacks, bank notes, checks
silver certificates, gold certii
catss--seems to be capable Of pei
forming almost all the functions {
money. The only use there appears
be for the precious metals is to serve a
n standard Of values. And this is
very important office. II the bullio
value Of silver dollar will buy a
much Of any one Of the necesssries q
life now as 1t would ten or twent,
years ego, and gold dollar will bu
twenty per cent. more, then it is COL
which has appreciated and not silye
that has deprecated.
But al We insist upon now is tina
the laws Of trade and iiuance shall b.
lei TO work out their own results, ant
that no journal. nor congressman, no
lecturer, nor any other person, shall
by predicting cslamities that will neve
come unless We draw them upon our
selves. bring panic upon this couatr,
and the world. The world can prosper
even with bi-'pstsllic currency.

SUMMERING In THE MOUNTAINS.
An In%dianarolitan's Observations at a Penn
sylvania Mountain Resort.

An Indianapolis gentleman now at Cresson
Springs writes to a friend in this city concerning
the place and Ind:anapolitans now there, as fol-
lows:
"Cresson Springs is situated one hundred
miles east of Pittsburg on the Pennsylvania
railroad. 1t is at the very summit of the Ale
enemy mountains, at an altitude Of over 1000
feet. The Alps of Switzerland and the Rocky
mountains of the Yellowstone National Park
offer their grand views of majestic snow-capped
peaks and barriers of ice, but the view that
meets ones eye from the Cresson is unique in
that it offers an almost interminable panorama
OF rolling, mountain tops covered with
leys lying between. But the greatest
attraction offered the hot, dry, half-stifed
dweller of cities is the fine mountain air and the
pure water. The whole region abounds in
springs, many of them containing iron, magne-
STA, or alum in large quantities. In each room
at the hotel is tackled up a neat, innocent looking
little card eulogizing the spring water. IL ends
with this sentence: physicians advise all to
pecting stranger, he little suspects what that
sentence, if strictly obeyed, will do for him. The
unsophisticated chuckles as he sends the bell
boy for a pitcher of that water, and the thought
OF having received some professional advice era-
tuitously gives him unspeakable joy. The
water drank, he begins to wish he had never had
a liver, and soon rings once more, this time for
essence of ginger, paregoric and laudanum to
sootne and quiet the man. indianapolis is we'll
represented at CressOn. Among those here are
Rev. and Mrs. N. A. Hyde and daughter, Mrs.
Myla Ritzinger and family, Mrs. II. SEVERN
and son, Miss Laura SEVERN, Miss Anna Church
man, Miss Fahnley, Mr.. and Mrs. Fahnley, and
family, Mrs. S@hner, Mrs. Hollweee, Mrs.
Wetzel, Mr.. Will Mullen and Mr.. Parish. Two
concerts by an orchestra are given daily for the
pleasure of the guests, anddancingi is indulgedin
every night, the evenings being so cool that it
makes it quite enjoyable. One day may be taken
to visit Altoona and 60 over the famous Horse.

Elensburg, a beautiful trip through the noun
tains, another over the old portage road" with
its large blocks of stone for cross-ties, and a
visit to ex- Congressman Lemons farm where an
unlimited number of brook trout may be caught
from his extensive ponds. The odd Summit
House" the ghost of prosperous days when peo-
pie were hauled over the mountains by station
airy engines and ropes, offers hospitality
unequaled in the more modern dwellings,. Then
the many long walks through the beautiful
woods, and the great quantities of wild flowers
of many varieties, and the agreeable companion
ship of many friends, all tend to make a stay at
Cresson during the heated term exceptionally
enioyable.3

DOWLING'S UNRULY TONGUE.
He Claims To Have Bribed Certain Members
of the Old Council.

Councilman Bowling, the Sixteenth ward
statesman, who is now serving his country as a
postal clerk and the Citizens Street Railway
Company as aSnember OF the common Council,
is reported as having boastfully declared that he
had bribed Republican members Of the old
Council to vote against the ordinances ,peremit-
ting the Cleveland capitalists to construct COM
peting lines of street railway in this city. There
isn't much discretion in the tongue which
Councilman Bowling carries around will him,
and while e~xcitedly declaring that he is not a
pensioner Of the street-car company, he has said
some things which are likely to get himself, his
friends and others into trouble. He does not
deny that he was a candidate for election to the
Council as the friend of the street-car company,
but claims that he is nobody's pensioner. He
says he bought some OF the members of the
Council, and doesn't care who knows it; that
they were Republicans; that he didn't
lave to buy Democrats, because they
were all right. The Republican mem
bers of the old Council who voted with
Bowling on the street railway ordinances were
c. It. Bedford, Ed Brundage, w. A. Morrison,
=. +. Bryce, Allen Caylor, B. W. Cole, John
Egger, Henry Mauer and Nelson Yoke, and
doubtless they will at once demand a thorough
investigation of Il owling's charges. AS he admits
having committed bribery, which is a criminal
offense, the matter would properly be a subject
for the investigation of the grand jury, although
for the vindication of those upon whom
some suspicion might fall through
his damaging assertions. there might be an
inquiry under the direction of the City Council,
which is concerned to some extent, as Bowling,
if convicted of the offense to which he confesses.
ought to be expelled from the body. There is
some doubt as to whether he ca be prosecuted
criminally, as it may be that he is Exempted
from liability now under the statute of limita-
tons. The matter will come up for some con-
sideration. it is expected, at the meeting of the
Common Council tonight.
