THE SILVER DOLLAR.
Possibility that an Effort Will Be Made to
Issue Certificates in Small Sums.

Possibility that an Effort Will Be Made to
Issue Certificates in Small Sums.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON Sept 19-Should the attempt
to be made in Congress this winter to repeal the
coinage act prove failure, as there is little
doubt it will, an effort is to be made am in
formed by representatives who are keeping run
of this question. to have issued silver certificates
in one and two-dollar denominations. This
would contemplate the issuance of these small
certificates to the extent Of the monthly
coinage, which is $4,000. 900. 1t is be-
lieved that this would relieve the glut in
the silver dollar market, and would put stop
to the drift towards placing a premium
upon the one and two-dolar greenbacks. These
silver certificates would, of course, be legal
tender, and could not be placed at discount by
New York bankers and others, who so
prejudiced against silver. New York members
of Congress say that if something of this kind is
not done in the event silver coinage is to go on,
the silver dollar will be forced down to
discount by Eastern capitalists They do not
put much stress on the cry that is being made
against the silver dollar because it contains only
eighty cents worth of bullion, and say
that while it remains the standard Of the world
it cannot be depreciated as the trade dollar was.
1t is we'll known in congressional circles that the
reason the trade dollar was not promptly re-
deemed by the government when it was found to
be in disfavor, was because Of the influence of
New York bankers, who wanted to prejudice the
country against the standard silver dollar. The
standard dollar differs from the trade dollar by
being of the same weight of silver dollars the
world over, and of uniform and general issue.
while the trade dollar was heavier, and was
issued in a smaller and limited amount, and for
a specific purpose.

RAILWAYS AND THE LAWS,
An Important Decision by Judge Gresham, in
Which the Fixing of Rates Is Considered.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-About a year ago John
B. Sheldon, a country shipper, began suit in
the United States Circuit Court against the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company,
TO recover damages for alleged charging of ex-
tortionate freight rates. He claimed that the
rates were in excess of the maximum rates as
fixed by the Railroad Commissioners
The company filed pleas setting out that it
was organized by the consolidation of FIVE or six
other Illinois railroads. all of which, save one,
had the right. by their charters, to fix the
amount of charges for carrying freight and pas
sengers. Demurrers were filed to the pleas
and argued some months ago before Judge
Gresham. The court decided, yesterday. that
the consolidated company took its character
from the character of the constituent compa-
nies, and that one of these companies was sub
iect to legislative control, and that the consoli
dation was voluntary on the part of the several
companies. The stood, Judge Gresham
held, just as if the defendant had been organ
lied by the consolidation of but two companies,
one Independent of legislative control, and the
other subject to such control, and that in all
cases in which doubts arose as to the power of
corporations, those doubts should be resolved in
favor Of the public. The case will be carried to
the Supreme Court Under Judge Gresham's
decision the company will be compeled to con-
form TO the rates. fixed by the Railroad Commits.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

No Reason Why the Country Should Not Soon
Enter Upon an Era of Prosperity.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 19.-"There is no reason,
so far as we can see here why the people of the
country should not experience period of un-
usual prosperity beginning with the first of the
new year" said an old fnancier at the Treasury
Department to-day. II have just been talking"
continued he, with friend over at tine Agri-
cultural Department. and we reviewed the con-
dtion of the crop throughout the country and
compared them with the financial outlook, andwe
both of the decided opinion that there will be
plenty of food and money soon as the crop be-
gins to move. There has been large harvest
of wheat and other cereals while the corn and
stock will be productive of splendid results The
farmers who are in debt should easily relieve
themselves by the results of their summers
work. Railroad traffic will be splendid
the shops are starting up everywhere and me-
chanics and laborers will receive good wages
Now, if Congress commits no foolish act in deal
ing with finance, tariff ETC., this season of pros
perity we are about entering into should con-
tinue for long time; at least until there is a
succession of failures in crops"
"If were farmer" continued the gentle
man, II would not be in hurry to sell my
products unless 1 were in debt. 1t is my opin-
ion that the prices will continue to steadily ad-
vance, SO that very good interest win be se-
cured the money II the produce. You will
sec no more wheat sold at 70 cents, as was the
case last year, and hogs in the Central States
will not come down to those low figures of last
season. People will consume more stuff than
they have been consuming, because the manu-
factories will be running at high velocity. The
factories, you see have been closed practically
for eighteen months on account of oversup-
ply but they will run now at the highest speed"

PROHIBITION IN NEW JERSEY.
Revenge Upon the Republican Party the
Motive of Prohibition Leaders.

TRENTON, Sept 19.-The Prohibition party
seems animated by the bitterst of motives in
New Jersey. The leaders consist of ex-p politi-
clans of other parties, and few cast-off clergy
men. The men are animated at present more
by desire for revenge than for the promotion
of temperance This is shown by the campaign
they are about to begn The aim of the cam
paign is to defeat Republican candidatesin legis-
lative districts. For that purpose Prohibition
candidates are to be placed in the
field to draw votes from the Re-
publican party. Democratic districts will be
generally left alone Four fifths of all the votes
for prohibition in the Legislature last winter
and the winter previous were cast by Republic
an members Were the Prohibitionists in earn
est and really anxious to aid the cause, they
would help elect Prohibition Republicans. A
large number of speakers have been engaged.
The list is headed by John Peter st. John, ex-
Assemblyman Gator and Gen. Clinton B. Fisk.
Gator was Republican and anti-monopoly mem
ber two years ago. He gained reputation by
fighting prohibition and declaring that he fav-
ored free liquor and wanted to see the whisky
of the daddies" drunk everywhere. Meetings
are to be held during the next month in all the
leading cities and towns of the State, and the
bulk OF the addresses will consist of trades

SUICIDE IN A SEMINARY.
Dr. Adelaide Richardson, of Mt. Holyoke, Cuts
an Artery with Lance.

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass, Sept. 19-The widest
sensation has been caused here to-day by the re-
port of suicide at the Mount Holyoke Ladies,
Seminary in this place. Although the teachers
and directors of the seminary have done every
thing in their power to keep the matter from the
papers, these facts have come to light to-day
On Wednesday, at IL o'clock A. NJ, Dr. Adelaide
Richardson teacher Of physics at the seminary,
and one of the most popular and learned of the
lady physicians in this county, was found dead
in her bed. Dr. Richardson has been member
of the faculty for several years, and has devoted
her life to study and hard work. For something
over year her head has troubled her so that
this summer she has been under treatment at
the New England Hospital, at Boston. The fact
that she was receiving aid was known to but few
of her friends.
About week ago she returned to her duties
at the Mount Holyoke Seminary, and appeared
in more than her usual good spirits After
taking tea Tuesday night she was present at the
devotional exercises, and social gathering later.
She then retired to her room. 1t has been
the Doctors custom to be in the room where
medicines are kept at about9 o'clock every week
day morning to attend to any of the young
ladies who might need her medical services
Wednesday morning she did not appear An
hour. two hours passed, when one OF the teach
ers finding DR.. Richardson's door bolted from
the inside, and no response to her calls forced
the door from it's hinges.
The suicide was found on the outside of the
bed, dressed, but with a small stream of blood
flowing from wound in the right side of the
neck. She had been dead several hours. It
appears that she had arranged everything as
she wished and had then placed her case of
surgical instruments within reach. With long
lancet she had -unctured one of the arteries of
her neck probably almost Immediately produc-
ing death. Word was at once sent to the dead
woman's relatives at Woollaston, Mass, they
taking charge of the remains to-day.
DR.. Richardson was graduate of the Ann
Arbor Medical College, fortys years of age,
unmarried, and everywhere loved and respected
not only for her deep learning but for her
Christian character and happy disposition.

print will be small comfort, in view of the gilt
tering glory of his brief career He did not
choose high grade of New York society to daz-
zle, for he figured chiefly in Roster s. Balls
Music Hall, place of burlesque and variety;
and the belle whom he sought to marry under
false pretenses was Laura Burt whose perform

stage is the managers Office and they are men
of wealth, made in the wholesaing as well as re-
failing of intoxcants; and here the actors gather
as in green-room, while foolish dandies, willing
to buy champagne freely, are also admitted
The walls and ceilings are decorated solely with
the corks that have been drawn from
bottles thus indecently emptied. One
of the victims of this trap was
smooth and fashionable looking young man,
who had tegun by throwing bouquets from a
stage-box, and who was easily beguiled into the
den. There his reckless expenditures exceeded
anything in the history of the house, and an
elaborate arrangement of corks shows his ex-
penditure of hundreds of dollars in a short
period He took Laura Burt and other actresses
on excursions extravagantly, and once made a
hilarious journey to Niagara Falls. His plen-
teously distributed cards read, Charles Glenn
ent, Marquis de Rochefort." His fame spread
among the dudes, and at length he was identified
as former clerk in Delmonicos restaurant. He
had inherited a.smal fortune and was investing 2
it in red paint for the town. He was no mar
quis and not long spendthrift. He proposed
marriage to Laura, but she refused. Then he
went to Asbury Park to get sober and has there
been arrested for defaulting in board bill

visitor, went into the opium-smoking den ad

which is in the Chinese quarter. 1t was mid
night and the place was occupied by dozen

who go to church tomorrow will be apt to hear

celebrate what has been fixed upon as the
hundredth anniversary of temperance re-
form. The Church Temperance Association has
sent to every pastor in this State. also, an ur-
gent persuasion to advocate high license in this
discourse as the most feasible measure of tenn
perance. and it is expected that sentiment will
be aroused in favor of the movement at exactly
the right juncture to affect the Saratoga plat
forms On the other hand, the vote of the Ma

has been embodied in circular by their secre-
tary, and extensively mailed to politicians of
both parties. There will be committee of the
churchmen in Saratoga during the week to work

WASHINGTON, Sept. ia peculiar state Of

avenue in New York not occupied by railroad,
and five of the present roads are steam ones,
identified with Vanderbilt and Gould, an outcry
erty. Already speeches denouncing the ex-
elusive protection of the Fifth avenue residents
have been made in trades union and socialistic
meetings, and the aim is to get the question into
city politics, SO that the aldermen will be forced
to grant the privilege. 1t is thought that the
requisite consent of majority of the real estate
owners on the avenue can be obtained.
