sides twenty-nine mules and five ponies,
had been pursued since September Z, and
was finally captured by a detachment

One of the most disgraceful scenes that
las been witnessed in the usually quiet

Jlace this evening, two Of the sons of
.be late ex-Judge Rsmson figuring
PROMINENTLY. About 5 o'clock the two
Remson boys, the younger scarcely nj
,een years Of age, accompanied by John
Gaskin and Edward White, also lads
not yet twenty years old, entered the
town slightly intoxicated. They went
to the liquor-store Of j. b. Ham
lell, on Broad street, where they drank
until grossly intoxicated and utterly
manageable. The mother of the
Remsons, accompanied by her hus-
band, q Dir. Hubbell, were in town at
the time. The mother entered the
liquor-store, and, not being able to
manage her sons otherwise, secured q
stout rswhide and whipped the younger
one into subsection, and the older one,
with the Gaskin and White boys, were
arrested and arraigned before Justice
Moore, who imposed = tino. Later
Remson was released and taken home,
bat the others, unable to secure bail,
were held. An investigation will be
made and the liquor-seller brought to
trial. The boys are all residents OF

stone of the Bsttish Com mission Of
currency Inquiry.


The First Lord and the Chancellor Of
The Exchtquer call the attention Of the
Board to the third report OF the Royal
Commission upon the Depression OF
Trade, recommending special Inquiry
INTO the currency.
/. IL would be the duty Of the Com
mission TO investigate the causes Of
these charges, and especially to inquire
whether they are due--first, to the de-
probation OF silver; or, secondly, to
The appreciation Of gold; or, thirdly,
to both these causes.
2. If they should find the changes to
DO due to the depreciation Of silver,
they would then inquire whether such
depreciation arises from increase OF sup
ply or diminution Of demand. or from
both; aud they would endeayor to as
certain the proportions in which these
different causes have operated.
3. II they should find the changes
TO be due to the appreciation Of gold,
they would inquire whether the appre-
citation arises from the diminution Of
supply, OF from increase Of demand, or
from both, and they would endeavor to
ascertain the proportions in which these
different causes have operated.
4. If the Commission should come
TO tie conclusion that the Aforesaid
changes in tho values Of the precious
foetsls are causing permanent or i'm
por,snt evils or inconvenience, 1t
would be their duty then to inquire
whether it is possible to suggest any
remedies within the power Of the legis-
latuIe or the Government, by itself or
in concert with other Powers, which
would be eflectusl in removing or pal
hating the evils or inconvenience thus
caused without injustice to other in
terests, and without causing other evils
or inconvenience equally great.
5. Lastly: If the Commission think
hat this is possible, they would state
the precise form which such remedies
should take, and the manner in which
they should be applied.

Reaction. q. IN. silver ouc.,i orr.


The advocates Of silver demoaetizs-

The, so to speak, aiistocrstic school OF
economists, whom little hanility
would save from Notifying errors.
Events have shoSn that there was
something wrong with their reasoning
Snd that civilization is not ready now,
whatever may be the case hereafter,
to abolish the use ofsuch an important
element Of its money as silver. The
Financial Chronicle, which sees more
clearly into the matter than ii did for
mtrly, expresses the opirion that

gold had been treated as silver has

The difficulties in the way of estab.

ment is gaining ground, even among
the selfsppointed infallible economists.
that the law can create use for silver
which, at any probable rate or cost OF
production, will keep it on practical
par at a fixed ratio with gold, though
tho value Of gold will suffer to a GER

A Waterloo Oil. special says Chsl-
fan Bridge, q hamlet located q few miles
from here, was the scene Of q terrible
tragedy to-day. One year ago Ed.
Clark, 4 seventeen-ysar-old boy, fell in
love with q schoolmste, Lena Foltz.
who was then fourteen years OF
sge. lie paid her marked at
tention, and in a short time the affair
was observed by the girls parents.
The Foltz family is one Of the best in
the county, and the attentions of young
Clark were discouraged more on &C.
count of the youth of the pair than
anything else. The girl is said to have
reciprocated young Clsrk's affections,
and frequently evsded the watchful
eyes Of her parents to hold clandestlne
interviews with him.
Finally the Foltz family adopted
stringent measures, and Clark was
warned to keep away from the house.
He still managed to see the girl, how.
ever, and it appears she lately informed
him that she would not marry him
without her parents consent. To-day
the dead bodies Of the lad and his
sweetheart were found near the bridge.
He had shot her through the head and
then sent bullet into his own BRAN;
One story is that Miss Foltz consented
to death, and that note was left to thi.
effect. The other is that Clark idred
her from the house, murdered her, aud
then committed suicide.
