the young man who shot and killed his
mother in Williamsburg, on the 2sth of last
December, died, this morning in Raymond
Street Jail. Brooklyn, where he was await

cause of his death was paresis.
His mother was i'll, and it was thought

GETTING A NEW HAT.
A Novel Method of .Replenishing a
Wardrobe.

A few days ago young man entered
the store of Mr.. Laux on South Spring
streel' and laid proposition to adver-
tise the business in the San Francisco
Graphic. He desired to put card in
the paper in connection with "cut" of
the block. He asked only that Mr..
Laux subscribe for few copies Of the
paper at fifteen cents each in payment
for the card. 1t amounted to so little that
an arrangement was made to take five
copies at seventy-ive cents, but when
bill was presented demand was made
for 81 .25, and in explanation the solicitor
stated that the paper was twenty-five
cents per COPY in numbers less that one
hundred. As this seemed to be tricky
on the part OF the agent Mr.. WilliamLaux
withdrew his card, not caring about the
matter any way. The young man de-
parted a little disappointed, but Mr.
Laux was more disturbed in mind ten
minutes later when he went to get his
hat off of one of the showcases, and found
instead of his own nice tile miserably
dilapidated and greasy affair at which
every gamin on the street would have
howled "where did you get that hat ~
if he had APPEARED on the street. Mr..
| Laux is persuaded that no mistake was
made by the young man, who must have
seen how good an exchange in head
gear he was effecting. Merchants ought
to keep watch on these fellows when
they come around their place of bust
ness. They may not be what they pre-
tend to.

CLOSE MONEY.
The Greatest Strlngency in the Money
Market Since the Panic of '84.

Market Since the Panic of 'S4.
WALL STREET, New YORK, August 81,
-Stringency in the money market today
was sharper than it has ever been since
the May panic of 1884. At the opening
of the stock exchange, the brokers who
were long on stocks and had borrowed
money on them, were glad to renew
their loans at 20per cent, per annum.
Even this rate would not bring renewals
of loans in many cases, and before II
o'clock many borrowers received notice
that their loans were called H..
The brokers who bought stocks yester-
day in anticipation OF relief from the
treasury department, tried to obtain
funds to pay for their purchases, but
were unable to do so, and their COM
bined demand caused large crowd to
remain around the money post in the
exchange all day.. Early loans were
made at % per cent, but the supply at
this figure was soon exhausted, and the
rates went up to 40, 80, 80, 70, 80, 80 and
before O'Clock the prevailing rate was
96 per cent, or equal to legal interest
and a premium of ID per cent per day.
WASHINGTON, August 21.-In view OF
the light response to the treasury de-
partment circular for the redemption OF
Az per cent bonds, it is expected that
the department will take further steps
for the relief of the money market. II
is not known exactly what form the
action will take, but it is supposed il
will be an increase in the price fol

WASHINGTON NOTES.
A Days Doings Under the
Capitol's Dome.
The Tariff Debate Drags Its
Slow Length Along.
Quay's Resolution to Be Considered
in Caucus.
The Lard Bill Under Discussion in the
House-The Raum Investigation
in Progress.



WASHINGTON, August 21.- T he senate
this morning, after spending some time
considering Plumb's resolution for pro-
hibiting liquor selling or drinking in the
senate wing of the capitol, took up the
arif bill. Nothing was said about
Quay's order of business resolution,
debate on which began yesterday.
Thefailure to take up the Quay resolu
ton, was due to a general desire for
party conference or caucus, as to line
of action. 1t will likely be called up to-
morrow.
The pending question in the tariff bill
was McPherson's amendment referring
to table knives, steel butcher knives,
ETC., and imposing compound duties on
them according to the value of the
classification. The amendment is to
substitute for these duties the rate of
80 per cent ad valorem.
The bill was temporarily laid aside
and the conference report on the bill for
increase of the CLERICAL force of the pen
sion Office was presented and agreed to.
Evarts presented telegram from
the Grant monument association in New
York, protesting against the proposal
for the removal of Grants remains to
Washington.
Consideration of the tariff bill was re-
sumed and pending amendment was re-
jected
Mcpherson moved to amend the par
agraph referring to files and rasps, by
striking out the duties and classification
by lengths, and inserting Is per cent ad
valorem. Without voting on the amend
ment, the senate went into executive
session and soon adjourned.
House Proceedings.
In the house Henderson of Illinois
reported the river and harbor bill, ask
ing non-concurrence in all the senate
amendments, and agreeing to the con-
ference requested by the senate.
Kerr of Iowa, made the point of order
that the amendment must first be con-
sidered in committee of the whole.
Henderson thereupon withdrew the
report, stating that he would make it
tomorrow as privileged matter
In the morning hour Buchanan called
up the bill for adjustment of the &C.
counts of laborers arising under the
eight hour law.
Pending discussion, the morning
hour expired, and the house proceeded
to consideration of the bill defining lard.
Mason, of Illinois, said this was a
fight between the packers OF impure
lard and the packers OF refined com
pound lard. 1t was trade fight, and
had no place in congress.
After considerable further debate the
house took recess, the evening session
to be for the debate of the lard bill.

fused to produce them. He was willing
that the members of the committee
should inspect the stock book of the
company, but not that it should go into
the records. Raum said Cooper gave to
the press everything he got hold of, and
had made public documents entrusted to
him for inspection by fhe committee on
rules.
Cooper insisted on seeing the books
himself, and upon the committee re-
fusing, gathered up his books and papers
and left the room. The committee then
resumed the investigation on their own
hook.
Commissioner Raum said he had bor-
rowed $4,000 upon the endorsement of
Geo. 0. Lemon, and renewed the notes
from time to time. The refrigerator
company was organized last January,
and was composed OF men of high
standing. He never gave SRI
ority to any claims for Lemon or any
other attorney. Lemon was anxious to
have his cases before the pension Office
pushed along; he presented number
Of slips, each relating to case which
was reported for action. Witness was
asked to make up twenty five or thirty
cases and present his views. This was
done. Witness presented Lemons leu
ter to the company and it
was read. 1t enclosed thirty
complete pension cases. dated November
10th last, and expressed the hope that
the bureau would begin the practice Of
considering such complete cases i'm
mediately. The letter was referred to
the deputy commissioner for report, and
he reported against the plan, therefore
witness made no order, written or verbal,
for taking up Lemons cases
in advance of the regular order.
Raum said, after further examination
and consideration of the matter, he on
December 23rd issued an order concern
ing completed files on which were put
cases that seemed to be complete
and for adjudication. This had the
effect of greatly expediting the work of
the Office. Captain Lemon had nothing to
do, he asserted, with the preparation of
this or subsequent orders.
Representative Cooper was requested
by the committee to return and resume
his connection with the case, which he
did, and the committee adjourned.

coursel. He could walk little, but could not
get up if he fell down, and could not move
when in bed, having no use of his hands. i'm
mediately commenced with the CUT!CURA REM
EDIEs, using all freely. One sore after another
healed, bony matter forming in each one of
these five deep ones just before healing which
would finally grow loose and were taken out:
then they would heal rapidly. One. OF these
ugly bone formations preserved. After taking
a dozen and half bottles he was completely
cured, and is now, at the age OF six years, a

RAUM'S CROOKEDNESS.

The Charges. Against the Pension Com.
missioner Being Investigated.
WASHINGTON, August 21.-The Raum
investigation was resumed this morning
Cooper, who made the charges, made a
brief explanation of his position, after
which Raum took the stand as witness
and denied that any employee of the
pension office, save himself, ever owned
stock in the refrigerator company, and
consequently the charge that employees
had been favored, because OF such own
.ership, was false.
Cooper then demanded to see the
books of the company, but Raum re-
