Found TIed to Tree.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. June 21.-De-
cember 18th Richard o. Allen, an aged
farmer living five miles southwest of
Washington, Indiana, was found tied
to tree near his house with his throat
cut from ear to ear. The death was
thought to be case of suicide and no
inquiry was made. A few days ago,
while laboring under religious excite
ment, Mrs. Charlotte Allen. the seven
ty-year-Old widow of the dead man.
confessed to two colored servants that
she committed the crime. She said
that she and her husband had trouble
as to who was the rightful owner of the
farm, and in order to settle the dis
pute she gave her husband morphine
in his tea. Allen fell asleep in the
garden and she procured table knife
and rope and going to the place where
her husband was lying, tied the rope
around his body, and making several
slashes at his throat half severed the
head from the neck. She then dragged
the body to tree and tied it there.

DeStEuctAOm OF Whoat Dy an insect.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 2O.-The
complaints about the destruction of
wheat by strange insect are increas-
ing. They come chiefly from the CEN
trail and eastern parts of the state, but
the ravages of the little bugs have
already spread to northern Indiana,
and the secretary of the state board of
agriculture regards the reports as
alarming. The insect is what is known
as the green midge," another species
of which is the ''red midge." They
last appeared in this region about If
teen years ago, and did great damage
to the growing wheat. The green
nudge, the little destroyer who is now
doing so much alarming work. has not
been seen by farmers since 1875, when
1T almost entirely destroyed the wheat
crop of Indiana and neighboring states.
Millions of them appear in a field, set
Ting upon the stalk from which they
draw the sap, causing the grain to
shrivel before it is matured. The IN
sects are perfectly green in color. Lit
tie is know of them by scientists be-
cause their appearance has been rare.

Identification.

CHICAGO, June 20.-Much more i'm
pOrtance is attached by the police to
the Identification of Burke by Officer
Collins, who should arrive at Winnipeg
at noon to-day. II Burke proves to be
the wrong man it is doubtful if the
murderers OF DIR. Cronin will ever be
taken. All that Chief Hubbard wants
is the Identification. Hc is so positive
that the right Martin Burke is one of
the murderers that his confidence gives
rise to the suspicion that he has over
whelming proof of the fellows guilt.
and that he has not allowed himself or
his sub0rdinateS to give to the public
half the information in his possession.
II Officer Collins says that the man
under arrest at Winnipeg is the Burke
wewant," said the chief. Then he is
one of the murderers." A story was
CLEANED at police headquarters this
morning which indicates that Chief
Hubbard Is quite safe in his bold as
sertion. The story is to the effect that
the man has been found who declares
that Burke revealed part of the plot
to him in endeavoring to induce him to
. become a party to it. Burke was
most unfortunate selection on the part
OF the plotters; as he used every cent

Although the senatorial committee that has been investigating the dressed beef busiress has not yet concluded its labors. 1t is pretty well understood that a majority and minority report will Le evolved out of the inquiry It has been the sole purpose oI Senator Vest to demonstrate the fact that the high price of beet in this country was solely due to the action of the com. bine, and that the latter is rapidly crushing oct all incentives 10 compe- tition iu the cattle trade. Figures nave been secured showing that Chi caga dressed beef can be purchased at cheaper figure in ihe markets of London, Liverpool and Manchester than 1t can be had in the butcher shops right under the shadow of the Union stock yards Senator Farwell. however, is not in accord with bis Missouri colleague on this matter. He is of the opinion that over r-produc- tion is the root of all the evil. The increased cost of beef to the consumers is explained by the senator by the faci that the American people will only eat the "ehoice cuts. Every body, he says, wants these cuts, the poor beng as fastidioas as the rich. According tO this argument only the rli-rafF of Amerlcan beef finds its way across the Atlantic. Senator Farwell also holds that the members of the combine were perfectly right in refusing to make their private business public property, and he will be heard 10 that effect when the senate reassemble, m No vemLer.

Gold and Silver in Europe.
tfinancial & Mining Record. ,

| VI o hEtothaJ
 The persistent assertion of Eastern
 metropolitan newspapers-and even
 by several of the leading Western journals. the monetizatien el silver which is going on in this coun. try though only at the rate of about 50 cents per head of the population per annutn coupled with the issne of silver certificates based on that coin age, must have the effect 10 drive our gold out of the country and has been the cause of ths recent gold eIporta- ton, IS an assertion made directly m the face of the indisputable fact that France is, as it were, the magnetic fo- GUS to which gold would seem to be attracted from the rest of Europe. Undeniably, the gold of England as we'll as that of Germany, the gold drawn to London by the worldwide commercial transactions which radi- ate from that centre, alike with the gold which Germany had purchased at premium but has been unable to keep at Berlin, in the end are seen flowing away through the innumera- ble channels which converge at Paris and in the Bank of France.
 Are these writers so ignorant of the monetary history of the epoch as not to know that silver Is full tender money in France at this time to the volume of fully $l4 per capita of the population; money held as inhexibly al the same standard of value (despite the varying price of silver bullion in London) now that silver bullion sells at fl pence as when 1t sold there at GO pence, and value coined at winch the 4l2h grams of silver in our dollar would be worth l0306 cents? Are these writers ignorant that while the Bank of France on last Saturday may have held ir is all-embracing vaults as much silver as $25l ,000,000, there was heaped up beside 4 $265, ,570,000 in gold, with at least S3l0,000,000 of silver Tn circulation. employed in the minor business operations of the French people, beside q paper legal tender circulation ot at least S573, 230,- GOO? But how was it, in so5tb, with the Bank of England and the Impe- raj Bank of Germany al inc same date when the Bank of France was thus opulent with gold and silver 10 the aggregate amount of S5l6, 6,570000. forming, we repeat, the specie bass of a paper circulation of S513 230. .000s This was their situation: Bank of England gold Sl04l40,00O, with le- gal paper circulation of say SlS2,000,- 900, Bank of Germany gold Sl40995, GOO Bank of Germany silver SEQ 495,- 900, with paper circulation of $24E.- 100000 That is 10 say, these two great national banks conjointIy held but S24J,l coo in gold or s20,l35.- 900 less than was held sinSly by the Bank of rracse.

Giaasiencs Prat SC or America.

Mir. Gladstones recent speech in
 which he conplimen'ed tbe United
 States 90 highly does not give perfect satisfaction in England. The London Spectator calls bia 10 account for praislng a country which he talked about so differently e lew years ago, and accuses him of trying to win American favor with view to secur- ing Amerlcin help in case Ireland should decide to assert her indepen- dence. It is not likely that such thought ever entered Mir. Gladstone's head The iiattering allusion which Mir, Gladstone was pleased te make to this country was simply the recogul- tien of fact which no European statesman can afford to deny or ignore. It has become necessary, as he praeti- eally declared to concede that there is nation on this side of tue Atlantic winch equals, if it does not excel, any nation on the other side in power and worth. The Spectator admits as much by saying that No State, however powerful, will ever agaln do with ease anything to which the American Re- Phblic is opposed There Is not a 
 diplomatlst Tn Europe who does net know this, or who does not hold that Napoleon III was only sane in quit. ting Mexico, and shat Prince Bismarck showed Eis wisdom when, rather than quarrel seriously with Washington, he abandoned all pretensIons in Samoa ? This was the thought that prompted MT.

Two Athletes Who Weigh Half Ton.

The Wyoming. which arrived at New fork, Oct. 1st, from Liverpool, had two men on board who gave the captain considerable trouble. They are mountains of flesh, called the Nauck Brothers They are looked upon as the cleyerest gymnasts in all Europe This is wonderful when one thinks that ths two brothers aggregate just 1000 pounds in weight.
 They are under engagement to two Boston managers. They had a hard time to get there. They could not sail from Hamburg simply because there wasn't berth big enough for sither brother. Eml is seven feet six inches in height and weighs 520 pounds while Wilhelm is also seven feet six inches and weighs 490 pounds.
 On the Wyoming they had to take cabins on the deck. and beds were pre- pared for them on the floor. After that they were very comfortable. Yesterday an agent was securing New York to find hotel with beds large enough for the giants. They have great trouble with ,be regulation size bed, as their legs from the knees dowt, generally hang over the footboard. Rooms were finally secured for them, however, and the glants slept on the floor.
