For four miles the woods are ablaze,

fire, and great will be the destruction
unless there is heavy rain. The grass

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., April 19.-Mrs.
Carrie Vanderbilt, who is locked up in
the county Jail on a charge of attempt
ing to poison her son, Frank G. Nor
man, is experiencing much difficulty in
procuring 1000 bail. Her counsel, e1-
Prosecutor Hendrickson, has been max
ing energetic efforts to secure the re-
quired amount, and expects to be able
70 have Mrs. Vandegrift released on bail
to-day. It is said that John Kinsley, of
Philadelphia, a brother of the defend
ant, will be one of the bondsmen. 1t is
the general belief that young Frank G.
Norman will prove a weak witness for
the prosecution when his mother is
brought to trial. Since his mothers
arrest he has been very reticent.
Emory Day, a lawyer of Burlington,
who some time ago went to Philadel-
phia to investigate Mrs. Vandegrift's
history, says that while he was in that
city he saw the sisters of Mrs. Vande-
grift's deceased husband, who told him
that they did not believe that Frank G.
Norman was their brothers child. They
told him that on one occasion Mrs. Van
degrift disappeared for three days, when
she returned home with an infant, now
Frank c. Norman. There were no
reasons to believe that Mrs. Vandegrift
was the mother of the child, Prosecu-
tor Budd says that in spite of young
Norman's disinclination to testify
against his mother. he will be able to
present sufficient evidence to convict

WASHINGTON, April 10. - The House

The bill, as reported, provides that
ment one architect and superintendent

THE SILVER BILL.
Secretary Window wNlinx to Compro-
misc the Problem.

Secretary Window Wnlinx to ComprO-
misc on the Problem.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The Republic
can Silver Committee held a meeting at
which Secretary Window was present
and expressed his views. He said the
reason for his advocating the redemp-
tion in bullion of the certificates issued
for the purchase of bullion was that it
would make certificates more valuable.
To require such redemption in silver
dollars would be, in his opinion, to dis
credit them; while to require their re-
demption in gold coin might seriously
embarrass the Government.
He was willing, however, as a meas
ure Of compromise, to give the holder
of the certificates an option on the cur
rency in which it should be redeemed
AT ;er the Secretary had given his
views upon the bill and the basis for
its nature, took place upon the subject
of the suficiency of the circulation.
Secretary Window had stated to the
committee that the total circulation
was 81 ,426 200, 900, an average of $21.7O
per capita on basis of sixty-fve mil
lion population, Actually, however,
this sum was subject to diminution,
for the several amendments are tied up
In various ways, reserves, held for re-
OemptIOn OF noLeS, etc, 30 tHaC inc per
capita amount of the circulation was
considerably less than $21.7O. The SEQ
rotary agreed with the Senators as he
had with the Representatives that no
addition to the circulation was neces-
sary; but in the conference no dein lite
sum WAS named by any one.
Another meeting of the COMMITTEES
will probably be held this afternoon in
order to arrive at an agreement upon
the basis for q silver bill. Some of the
committee were in favor of conoeding
the point insisted on by the Secretary,
that of making the purchase certificates
rsdesmAble in bullion; but the silver
men say they will not agree under any
circumstances. They say that they will
not consent to give TO the transaction
the nature Of . mere barter in merchan
disc.
| There is also a difference of opinion
among the committeeman upon tn.
proposition to make the purchase Ger
tifcates legal tender. The silver mon
who advocate this, say that, baset
upon actual purchases of bullion, al
they will be, the certificates would hAv'

WANT GOvERNMENnPAY.

Boilermakers Demand the Same Wages
Paid 1T tho Navy Yard.
NEW YORK, April ia largo number
of boilermakers in this city are on
strike for an advance in wages and 1t is
believed that the strike will extend to
all of the steel and iron works in this
city, and that a similar movement will
be instituted in Philadelphia, Chester,
Baltimore and Richmond.
The trouble is said to grow out of the
fact that many boilermakers are en-
ployed by the Government at the differ
emit Navy Yards, and are paid higher
wages than are received by the employees
of private works. The Government men
also work less number of hours a day.
The operators of these private works
claim that they cannot compete with
the Government in the matter of wages
and hours of labor.
