UNFEELING KINSMEN.
Three Instances Of Heartless Neglect Revealed
by a Visit to the County Asylum.

The grand jury made its term visitation to the
poor asylum and farm yesterday, but it will be
ont of the province of it's report to mention
several interesting cases. An inmate Of the in
stitution, a man broken with age and of feeble
mind. has been there six months without atten-
ton from his nearest relatives. They are well,
TODD in life; the wife is conducting a fine bust
ness; a son Is we'll engaged in a Wholesale house,
and two daughters are ~favorites in their social
circle. They relieved themselves of the old man
by having him cared for as a pauper. A blind
boy, from Pike township, has been in the asylum
three years without a visit from his friends, who
could keep him in comfort and not miss the ex.
pense. A third case is that of an aged woman.
whose husband died in 1868 and left a snail
estate. A guardian was appointed for her and
the children. The woman was sent to the
asylum, and for several years there has been
pending o suit, on part of the County Com
missioAers. to compel the guardian to contribute
to her maintenance.

Indiana Pharmaceutical Association.

The Indiana Pharmaceutical Association was
incorporated under the laws of the State, yester-
day. The aim Of the association, the articles
state: "Shan be to unite all reputable drug
gists and apethecaries Of the State for mutual
encouragement and assistance; in improving the
existing methods Of pharmacy. by disseminat-
ing the latest discoveries in our art, thereby
stimulating TO acknowledgements and Inventions
TO. establish closer and more cordial
relations between pharmacists, physicians and
tho public at large, whereby we may promote the
general welfare and tend to the mutual advan-
tage of ali; to discourage, within due limits, un-
wise competition in our own ranks. and to de-
yiso means to prevent our lawful profits being
taken by those outside our profession engaged
simply in mercantile pursuits; to elevate the
standard of our profession. and ultimately to re-
strain the practice of pharmacy to properly
qualified druggists and aposhecaries."

The Murder of Cox.

Coroner Stratford's investigation of the killing
of Simon Cox by Charles Mitchell did not reveal
any important facts other han those hereto
fore printed until James e. Powell testified yes
terday. He said he and Mitchell were together
in Zeke Roberts's saloon when the proprietor
remarked to Mitchell that he had heard Cox had
hit him with a stick. N he has not" replied
Mitchell. IF he does III kill HIM" A few
minutes after this witness and Mitchell left the
saloon when the latter ran up the stairway say
ing to Powell, Come on" Witness heard
sounds of fighting on the landing, and directly a
pistol shot was fired. 1t was dark and he struck
a match to see the result of the shot. The fight
ing went on until it stopped suddenly. Powell
went back to the saloon, when Mitchell came in
at the rear door. He remained a minute or two
and then ran out, jumping the fence. Witness
has not seen him since. Powell was arrested
by order of the coroner, but as Cox said the night
of the shooting he had nothing to do with the
ARRAY, it is not probable he will be held in Gus
tody longer than to-day.

SILVER COINS.
Precedents for Approaching and Depreciating
Their Weight and Their Face Value.

II am glad the Journal is discussing the silver
Ray to the reporter yesterday, while I may not
agree with all its views on that vexed question.
There has been precedent for debasing the dollar
when silver increased in value, and also for in
creasing the number of grains in the dollar when
silver deprecated in value. In that view of the
case, now that silver bullion is cheap, why not
make the dollar largerl
THE last peport of Hugh McCulloch, Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, issued for 1884, gives the
following information on the subject: 'The frae-
tional silver coins of the United States were first
of full weight, being fractional portions
the silver dollar and its fractional parts
were somewhat ~overfull in that act, the weight
Of the dollar was changed by the act of Jan. Is,
1887, to ALP. 5 grains. and the fneness from 1872. 4
to 900, the weight of the fractional silver coin
being changed proportionally. !.
".As the bullion value of these coins was still
greater than their face value, it was found
necessary, in order to keep them in the country
silver dollar of that date. The act of Feb. q,
1853, therefore, reduced the weight of the new
fractional coin from 412.5 grains to 1884 grains.
In the reorganization of the coinage laws, by the
act OF FeD. IL, 1873. the weight OF the fractional
silver coins was again changed so as to CORE
spond with the metric system. That law provided
that a half-dollar should weigh lie grams.
which made the weight of one dollar in sub
sidiary silver 1855 grains. This is the law at
the present time.
"'Prior to 1873 the bullion value of the silver
In fractional silver coins exceeded the nominal
value of the coins, but owing to the decline in
the price of that metal, the value of the silver in
two half dollars of the present coinage, or one
dollar in any fractional silver coin under exist
ing law, is now only about seventy-eight cents.
This would seem to be out of any just proper
ton to the face value of the coins"

How General Knefer Acquired His Library.
The finest private library in Indianapolis is
owned by General Fred Knef1er. 1t comprises
over 1000 volumes, and there Is not a book of
questionable merit among the whole number.
II acquired my library" said General Knener,
in reply to a Journal reporters question, ''by
spending for books what many people usually
spend for pleasures and amusements. I
have no expensive habits worth mentioning; I
spend very little for tobacco, and all the liquor
that I have drunk I could hold in my hat. 1
prefer the enjoyment of my books to seeing any
of the so-cafled CREST actors in classic drama, be-
cause l believe that Shakespeare's plays were
written to be read-not to be acted. For real
hilarious enjoyment, something that strikes me
between the ribs-I prefer the minstrel show,
and whenever one comes along I usually go to
see ii, but I find more pleasure in my library
than in any other kline of show"

ALDERMAN RAIL SUCCESSFUL.
Superior Court Judges Agree that He Was
Elected Chairman of the Joint Convention.

Before the three Superior judges. yesterday,
the quo warranto petition Of Alderman Rail
against Mayor Denny was called up on demurrer
of defendant. Rail alleged that Mayor Denny,
as temporary presiding officer of the joint con-
vention of aldermen and councilmen deprived
the petitioner of his seat as permanent chairman
OF the body, to which he had been elected by a
majority of the votes. and that this decision of
the mayor was made by his voting, thus causing
a tie. Rail questioned the legality Of the mayors
vote, and asked that an order of court be made
requiring him to vacate the seat in favor of the
petitioner. To this Mr.. Denny demurred, on the
sufficient ground for action. However,
both sides regarded that the issue
this raised presented the question squarely, and
that the sustaining or everything of the de-
murrer would largely settle the matter. Mr..
McMaster, appearing for the mayor, argued that
that Office was. under the statute, essentially a
component part Of the Common Council, and
hence he became a member of the joint conven-
ton, with privileges unabridged. Messrs. Beck,
Burns and Seidensticker, on behalf of Alderman
Rail, claimed that the statute limited the may
ors right to vote in Common Council to ques-
tions on which a tie resulted, and hence. if indeed
he was legally q member Of the joint convention,
he could not go into it with greater privileges
than be possessed as part OF the Common Coun-
Gil They did not admit that he even
had a right to vote in the convention
in case Of a tie. nor that he was legally a
member of the body. The argument continued
for three quarters of an hour, and the judges,
after a few minutes consultation, returned with q
simple decision overruling the demurrer. Judge
Walker, who gave the opinion, sustained by the
other two judges, said it did not appear that the
statute gave the mayor a right to vote or sit in
the joint convention. But the entry was to be
made on the overruling Of the demurrer, which
leaves defendant the right to answer. Mr.. Nc
Master could not tell what would be done, but
rather intimated that the opinion would be &C.
copied as final
Mr.. Beck suggested to the clerk that an entry
be made overruling the demurrer, and that the
defendant stood on this pleading and refused
to answer. This was objected to by the other
side, who wished the record to state merely the
overruling. Later in the day Judge Walker
ordered that the entry be withheld until this
morning, in order to give the attorneys an op-
p0rtunity to agree upon a form that will prob
ably cover the questions not brought directly be-
fore the court. There was nothing set up in the
pleadings as they went to the judges calling for
a decision upon the mayors right to vote or his
right to membership in the joint convention,
but the result was indirectly unfavorable to these
claims.

The Horticultural Society,s Reuort.

The law in relation to the printing of official
reports, as amended at the last session of the
General Assembly, provides that the State Hor
ticultural Society's report shall be published
biennually, and the expense of it's publication
shall be paid from the printing fund. A special
appropriation of $4OO a year was also made for
the society's ordinary expenses. The officers
think that the value of the ~society's work is EN-.
braced in the publication of its report annually,
and they have about decided to use $3.50 of their
appropriation for h epurpose of having 1t printed
this year. They believe that the money cannot
be expended to better a advantage, and they give
very plausible reasons for this conclusion. The
