o'clock the square was packed
with a surging but good natured
crowd Of diversified humanity
waiting for the different trains to

distinguished guests. The pro-
cession formed on the square and

the Lawrenceburg cornet hand,
marched out east street to the
grounds of w A, Stewart. Tt
was estimated that fully five
thousand people were in the line
of marsh. At the grounds the
front porch Of the residence was
used as q speakers stand from
which various speakers recited
the history IF Davy and his dar-
ing deeds. His grand son WAS
here and made a few appropriate
remarks suited to the time and
occasion. He shows the splendid
ply sique of the stock from which
be sprang and has the same
kindly and fun loving spirit of
his noble ancestor. The barbe-
cue under the superior manage
ment of W. II. Black as chef,
ESQ. Fleeman, Cal L rown and
other assistants was a complete
success. There was a sufficiency
Of all provisions for the immense
crowd and it was all cooked to q

everybody was pleased and went

Views of an English statistician on the
Effects Of the Coinage Law.
NEW YORK, Aug. "A Tribune London
dispatch says: Robert Griffen, perhaps the
first of living English statisticians, contrib
uted to tile August Nineteenth Century an
elaborate paper on The American Silver
Bubble" Tie title shows what view he has
taken. He says there can be no initiation
all at once. The silver notes to be issued
will have exactly the same sort Of uses as
the silver certificates now in circulation,
no more and no less. So long as the guam
tity of notes made is strictly limited and
the Government receives them freely for
taxes aud dues, and pays them out ouly IN
exchange for the equivalent in gold, they
Will remain level with gold. That they
nomInally represent silver is of no conse-
quence whatever. They will be converti-
ole into gold on demand, but such a cur
rency so handled cannot cause an Initiation.
Prices Will remain as before, at 4 gold level.
There is DANGER" adds Gritfen, that in
time 1t will lot be possible 10 handle this
currency" He believes that the rise in
silver viii be only temporary, and thinks
even the present rise to some extent nOmi-
the price of gold incident to q period OF
good credit. So far as it is nominal, what
the owners of silver and silver mines gain
the rest of the world loses. He looks for
ward in any case to grave monetary
troubles arising out of the attempt to make
gold and silver both a standard a thing
that is impossible, and warns the people OF

Efforts to Capture the sepeeial Commissioner
With Specie and Documents
New YORK, Aug. 3-All the members of
the Salvalorian Colony in this city we're in
high state of excitement yesterday. This
was caused by the announcement Of the az
rival here and the sudden departure of
Francois Cotter, the special Commissioner
OF the Guatemalan Treasury Department
with S2G00,000, q portion of the proceeds of
the sale of Guatemala bonds in London.
AS Salvador and Guatemala are at war the
capture of Commissioner Cotter with his
treasure would be big event. The most
extraordinary efforts, therefore, are being
made to intercept him in Panama or else
where.
As C0tter sailed Friday on the Pacific
Mail steamship City of Para he ought to
arrive at Colon OIL Saturday next In addi-
tiOn TO the men who have started overland
to Mexico by rail, the cable has been util-
ized to inform General Ezeta of the situa-
tion, and also to aequalnt the few Saliva
dorian residents in the Panama district of
the approach of the travelling Commissioner,
but COtter cannot be taken without a stTug-
gle. Both he aud Secretary FlOri are
armed to the teeth and will resist any at
tack.
The Salvadorians are aware that they
would not only gain a large amount of
money by experimenting Cotter, but his cap
ture with bag fun Of valuable documents
relating to the big loan would be disas-
tTOus blow to Guatemala. The Commits
sioner has in his possession letters of credit
on the international Bank of London and
other financial institutions representing
nearly SIG, 500, coo, in addition to the 81, 000-
600 in specie. The loss of that large sum
would injure Guatemala and interfere with
her plans of action

Special Dispatches to THE MoRSINs oALs

NEW YORK. Aug. A Herald City of
Mexico dispatch says: An American living
in Salvador has sent dispatch
here confirming in every particu-
lar the dispatches of Ezeta's victory over
Riyas. and adding that the march made
by Ezeta of 10 miles was covered in a!day
and a half, and the fight took place imme-
diately on the arrival of the troops at
the capital, lasting from July 29th to the
S1st inclusive. Riyas, instead of being
captured in the capital, was taken prisoner
in AcuIpuaca. suburban town, and
brought to the capital with many other
leaders of the Indians and shot. With the
death Of their leader the Indian prisoners
Of war will join Ezeta's forces and
march against the Guatemalans. They
will be detached to make night attacks on
points of vantage held by the Guatema-
lans. These attacks will be made with
their ugly knives, and their charges will
probably be successful, as they will be
forced to make them at the point of the
bayonet, and will be allowed no firearms.
On good authority it is stated that the
affairs between the United States and
Guatemala are in very critical condition,
owing to the seizure of firearms aboard the
Colima and the tampering with official
correspondence of the United States BY the
Guatemalan Government. Two American
men-Of-war are already in the port of San
Jose and are ready to meet any emergency.
. Other cruisers from the United States are
expected soon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-At last Lansing
B. Mizner, United States Minister Resident
in Central America, has been heard from.

in Guatemala, and he was in cOmmnnica-
tiOn with the commanders of the United
States vessels ThetiS and ranger. Here
Miner stopped without saying word about
the bloody conflicts supposed to be in
progress between Guatemala and Salvador.
Minister Miners silence as TO all impor-
tant particulars is thought to signify
that either he received none of the dis
patches sent him by the department during
the past two weeks or else he is not allowed
by the Guatemalan Government to send out
the particulars of any Of the internal affairs

NEW LONDON, July 27.-Mrs. R0senstihl,
a resident Of the river village of Hamburg.
ten miles west of this city, in Lyme. is the
latest hydrophobia patient in Connecticut
to 60 to New York for treatment by Dr..
Gibier of the Pasteur Institute. The hy-
drODbobia scare continues in this State,
and half dozen dogs, believed to be mad,
were shot this week in different country
districts, after they had run through sever
al towns. frothinR and swapping at every
one. Mrs. RosenStihl was bitten by an
infurlated hog that had behaved queerly IN
its pen. The woman went into the pen and
the vicious animal sprang at her and sew
cred two of her fingers. Then the hog saw
agely pursued her about the sty and her
screams were heard by the hired men, who
rescued her after she had been bitten again
on the leg. Then the hog bit several pigs
in the pen, and, all together, the drove of
furious hogs then broke down the enclosure
and rushed into the neighborlng lots. They
bit several cows and ran amuck through the
Hamburg district. The people rallied and
with guns and pistols, pltchforkS and
clubs, hunted them down. Mrs. Rosen-
stihl suffered greatly from her wounds, and
in few days showed symptoms of hydro
phobia. She went to the Pasteur Institute
and was successfully treated. Her case is
the first one of the kind treated there in
which rabies was communicated by a mad
hog.
At JohnstOWn a few days ago horse be-
longing to Paris Ii. Mathewson, which was
bitten not long ago by a mad dog, died in
frightful agony of hydrophobia. The
horse tore itself with its teeth, and furi-
ously attacked people and animals. so 1t
had to be bound with chains and ropes.

The Site for San Joses New Postofice Sc

SAN JOSE, Aug. 3-Colonel James P.
Low. agent of the Government for the Sc
lection of a Postofiice site in this city, has
about concluded his official labors, having
made careful inspection of all the sites
offered, and is now devoting himself to
viewing the charms of San Jose and sur
rounding country. Yesterday he visited
Mount Hamilton as the guest of Mayor
Ruckpr. To-day he was driven through the
orchard districts, and tomorrow he will
visit the Leland Stanford Jr. University
with the special purpose of Inspecting
the sandstone used in its construction.
As to the site here he is of
course non-committal, but it is believed
that the northwest corner of Market and
Ell Dorado streets will be selected, as it is
unanimously favored by the press and
citizens generally. IL has that further dis
tinction of being the only lot offered at less
than its assessed value. most of the Others
being held at double that of the Assessors
estimates. The price at which this is
offered to the Government is $4,000, or
about one-half its value, the remainder
being guaranteed to the owaers by con-
tiguOus propertyholders.

ANOTHER ARREST MADE.
The Miners Foundry Fired at by PEI
sons in Hiding.

Tho Miners Foundry Fired at by Per-
sons in Hiding.
More pistol practice was INDUCED about
9 O'Clock in front of the Miners Foun-
dry, on First street, between Folsom and
Howard, but before any serious damage
was done the culprit who is apparently re-
sponsible for the mischief was in the af-
fectionate embrace of Police Sergeant
Tobin and marched in short order to the
Southern Police Station.
He gave the name Of Mcleod. but
whether he is molder or not could not be
learned. Sergeant Tobin and one or two
others happened, by the merest accident in
the world, to be walking along First street
and in the neighborhood of the Miners
Foundry, in which are several of the nom
union molderS at work. as can be seen by
passers-by on the street. .
TWO MEN EsPIED.
The discharge of a pistol had called the
attention of the officers in that direction
shortly before, and of course they were on
the alert for anything of a suspicious char
acter. Thus it was that on the opposite
side of the street from the foundry the Ser
geant espied two men, and moving around
the corner so as to come as near them un-
noticed as possible, he heard one of them
say, Try it on 'em again."
The officer concluded at once that some
thing mischley0us was up, 80 he made rush
at the two and caught one OF them. Quickly
as possible the man poked his right hand
into his front pantaloOn pocket, and with
like alertness the officer poked his hand into
the same pocket. Then he found that the
fellow had huge pistol in his hand, and was
trying to conceal it, but the officer ierked
it out and took possession of it.
FLATTENED BULLETS FOUND.
Arresting the man, he was taken immedi-
ately to the Folson-street Police Station.
The Sergeant did not see this man do any
shooting, and has no proof that he did, but
he was informed by others at the Miners
that some one had shot at the men through
the window. A little investigation proved
that this was true, for a window or two
had been shattered, and on the floor in
side were found three or four battered and
hattened-out bullets. :.
In the window-casing next to the brick
was also found place where bullet had
imbedded itself deeply i'll the wood. So
much shooting in that locality had caused
the Police Department TO station several
extra officers on duty in that section, so that
all night long it was impossible to go a block
without eucOulLerIuI LMo ar LnrtV.

sIERERT.a DEATH.
The Remains VIII Be Buried To-Morrow

The Remains Will Be Buried TG-Morrow
by the Molders.
The chief topic of conversation among
the striking iron-molders yesterday was tie
killing of Henry A. Siebert by Walter Ride
out in the PowelLstreet car on Saturday
night. Several of them, as well as other
friends of Siebert, visited the Morgue in
order to view the corpse, and, in speaking
of the matter, President Valentine said;
"Siebert was not one OF the pickets or
duty at the City Iron Works, and think.
he was just going over to North BeaciS
when he saw Rideout get in the car. Sle-
bert was talkatiye, and believed in arguing
III relation to strike troubles. He probably
intended to talk with Ride0ut, but the exact
circumstances of the shooting [ only know
from what | read, though Siebert's last
words ere he died were breathed in my ear,
and he said he had done nothing to deserve
being shot for. =
INQUEST OF A RED-HAIRED MAN.
"The reports say there was red-headed
man with Siebert, and he stood on the car
platform and ran away when the shot was
fired. I'd like to know who that man was,
as he would be good witness for us; but
/ cannot identity him as any one belong
ing to the union. / would like to know by
what right the police allow these men to
carry pistols to fire off in the street with
reckless disregard for the lives OF people
who may be in the vicinity.
why, the police do not even know the
men they give the weapons to, and as | un-
derstand it the men have received instruc-
tions to use their guns at every opportunity
in order TO intimidale our pickets, and
events show that the men are following OUT
their instructions"
DR.. Estes made an autopsy on the body
of Siebert yesterday afternoon. 1t showed
that the fatal bullet struck him in the left
breast below the nipple, passed through
the wall of the apex of the heart and then
through the stomach, liver and kidneys.
The range was downward, as Siebert musg
have been in a STOPPING position When shot,!
The bullet lodged in the muscles Of the /;
back near the base of the spine. 8
REMOVAL OF THE REMAINS.
The body was then taken to Mallady's un-.
dertaking establishment. and afterward to
the home of Sieberrs mother, Sheridan
place. The funeral will take place tO-mor-
row, under the auspices of the Molders'
Union, and a special meeting of the mold
ers will be held tonight at st. Georges
Hall, 909h Market street, to make arrange ..
ments for the affair.
A number of friends Of Walter Rideous
visited him ia the City Prison yesterday,
and his wife was with him the greater part
of the day. The young man was quite cool,
but declined to speak to any one about the
unfortunate affair Of the preceding night.
Coroner Eaton will summon jury to-day
and the remains will be reviewed. An in
quest will be held some time during the
week, or as soon as all the evidence can be
gathered.
