MIR. Presburger's Serious Troubles.

NEW YORK. Oct. IA Newark, N. j., special
says: manuel Presburger, prominent clorhier
of this city. who came into prominence, some
children from New Mexico, who found him mar
ried again, is in more trouble. He is now in Jail
and unable to get bail. The compliments, Max
Meyer. Morris Seise Charles II Schwab and
John w. Burns, Chicago merchants, claim that
shoes In 1885 Presburger kept general store
in Trinidad. Col, and way heavy buyer from
the Chicago firm. Last November he purchased
bill of goods amounting to 81, 200. agreeing to
pay in December, but in that month the firm re-
ceiyed a letter from Presburger saying that he
could net meet the bill at present, but that in
January his partner would square accounts, but
January passed and no partner appeared. An
investigation showed that Presburger had flown

ing at Her Home.
Pittsburg Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
II have just got new pair of pantaloons,"
said Miss Nellie Nevada Moore to the reporter
this afternoon. she stepped from under neat
little house at SwiSSvale. which she erected
during the summer Miss Moore, who was busy
digging cellar. explained that she hoped to
have it completed before winter set in, and
spoke learnedly of stone walls and other recog.
nized essentials to well-equpped cellars The
new pants" to which she called attention, were
striped affairs of the ready made order and
were purchased by Miss Moore herself at we'll
known establishment in this city When buy
ing them Miss Moore told the clerk she wanted
them for herself, but confessed she didn't like to
carry them home.
Miss Moore is the chief architect aud builder
of handsome little house which admits of a
view of the Pennsylvania railroad and stretch
of the country extending beyond the Mononga-
hela river Her latest success is the erection of
a kitchen in the rear, which is lathed and ready
for such further advancement as she may think
advisable. Miss Moore's appearance in male
costume in Swssvale no longer attracts unusual
attention In that neighb0rhood. She is greatly
pleased at this. because, she says, she adopts the
male costume when at work not from whim or
| eccentricty, but for convenience sake When
shopping entertaining her friends Miss
Moore, who has a comfortable income, always
wears female clothing.
Since the first publication of the fact that Miss
Moore wears breaches the lady has received
many letters from gentlemen in different parts
of the country congratulating her on her origi
nality and independence. Some of the letters
came from men living in the far West, who de-
sire to correspond with her with view to mat
rimony The letters were all consigned to the
| flames. Miss Moore said she had been tempted
| to JOIN a New York theatrical company to renew
her acquaintance with the stage, but will not do
so now, as she and her sole companion, Miss
Morgan, are enjoying life at reading, making
odd knick- knacks with their carpenter TOOLS and
F! improving their home.

SHERMAN ON SILVER.
The Path of Honesty and Prudence Silver
as a Basis for Bank Circulation.

CINcINNATI, O., Oct SENATOR Sherman
visited the exposition this morning, and in the
afternoon was received with enthusiasm at the
Chamber of Commerce. In the course of brief
speech he said:
"But the greatest question of all, perhaps. is
the silver quesron-how to make it equal to the
gold dollar-for there should be only stand
ard 1 have gone through one process of re-
deeming Uncle Sans money, and do not want
to go through it again. You might have put
more silver in your dollar and made it equal to
the gold but then it would be too big, as it is
now. But, anyway, it would be good
thing to go to market with. A
dollar must be dollar, and enough
silver must be put in dollar to make it dol,
lar, though it be 100 or 500 grains. That is hon.
esty and prudence IF l had my way, would
stop the coinage of the silver dollar gather it
into Uncle Sans great vaults and then issue
the certificates and let you handle them. These
certificates would form the basis of our national
bank circulation, and preserve what believe to
be the best system of banks in the world. The
tariff and other great issues would, in a great
measure, regulate themselves; but the silver
question is the great one of the future One dol
lar of value must have before we can
have that stability necessary to national security
and success"

An Inefficient Quarantine.

CHICAGO, Oct. This morning some of the
owners of the cattle quarantined at the Phoenix
distlery loaded up quantity of the baled hay,
which is also under quarantine, and started to
drive off with 1t. Special Deputy Sheriff Will
lam Taylor interfered and ordered the hay IN
loaded. A young man named Ryan, after ours
ing the State officers, the veterinarians and
every body connected with the quarantine,
knocked the officer down. A crowd of cattle
owners gathered, and the officer was again
knocked down and badly bruised while the
wagon with the bales of hay was driven away.
Two special guards wearing sheriff's stars were
near by, but did not come to the rescue. No ar
rests have yet occurred. though the penalty for
the offense is serious
II shall not kill an animal that we have not
the money to pay for" said Commissioner Nc
Chesnev today IL may be that after we get
the thing within bounds where we are sure it
will not spread. the general slaughter may
be delayed till the meeting of the Legislature, or
until the number of sick cattle becomes small
enough so that the present appropriation will
cover the value of the animals killed"
