POINTS ON SILVER.

Ii it is worth anything. experience
gives approval to the claims which the
friends of silver have persistently urged
for more than eight years. The recent
report of the treasurer of the United
states shows that there are now i'm the
treasury less han six millions of silver
not in circulating coin or represented
by silver certificates. Under the law
controlling the use of silver, about
S~3Jo.OoO.OO0 have been coined. OF this
amount S2.5.OOO.OD are represented by
silver certificates which are everywhere
current i'm trade and the value of which
is never questioned.
The enemies of silver are predicting
ruin to business il the federal treasury
meets the demands of those who adyo-
cate larger coinage; they predicted evil
i'm the same mournful numbers when
the present modest monthly coinage
was permitted. IL silver il allowed to
take its rightful place in the currency
of the country. the retired banking cir
culation will be made good, products
will not be steadily driven lower and
lower in value, h country's enormous
debtor class will not be com.

than that OF the present season. OF the

Lone Fisherman have been retained.
Without them ''Evangeline" would not

the part long before he dreamed Of hav-

wrecked Near the Tunnel.

PHILADELPHiR, Oct. IA serious
wreck occurred on the Pennsy ylvsnia
railroad just north Of tue tunnel under
Market street. in'West Philadelphia, last
evening. Two trains Of empty coal cars
were coming up from Gray's Ferry, aud
aehort distance beyond the tunnel the
nrst one allowed up. Owing to the dense
smoke In the tunnel the engineer OF the
second train could not sec that the one
in front of him was stopping, and
plunged into the empty cars just ahead.
A Lehleh Valley coal car was forced over
the top OF the engine. Half dozen
other cars were damaged, and the engine
was badly stripped. Engineer Hinkley
and his fireman jumped and escaped
with slight injuries.
There was no obstruction of passenger
traffic, the tracks on which the accident
happened being almost entirely used for
freight business.
