The Hawk Escaped.

Mrs. Anna Miller, the wife of a
carpenter who lives at Deep Creek
Falls, met with peculiar accident
which goes TO show that a gun is a
dangerous thing, even if you have the
muzzle of it pointed in another direc-
non. y large hawk perched itself in
a tree near Mrs. Miller's home, and
the temptation to take shot at the
bird, in order to try her skill as a
markswoman, was too great for her TO
withstand; SO, procuring a shot gun,
which happened TO be in the house at
The time, she proceeded to carry out
her desire. After having taken care
full aim she pulled the trigger and the
damage was done. Subsequent results
showed that the weapon had been
oyercharged, and the recoil loosen sew
eral of her teeth and broke her left
jaw, splitting it from the chin nearly
to the back part of it.-Spokane Falls

Fire.

At noon to-day an alarm of fire was sound
cd from the central school building, caused
by chimney burning out. No damage.
Owosso had reason to be glad last night
that its system of water works was ready for
service, and also for the splendid work it
did, throwing six good streams OF water.
The fire alarm was sounded at just IL o'clock
and our citizens found the old Decker prop
erty, belonging to Chas. jackson, on EX-
change street to be on fire. The flames had
a good Roadway before any water could be
thrown and despite the fine work of the fire
boys the fire spread through both buildings
and into the ABIDING one, owned by VIM.
Fletcher. The building in which the fire
originated was occupied by Stratton Il Con-
nell, second hand store, who lose most all
of their goods; the barber shop Of James
Deal was located in the next building; a
man by the name of Camp and his family,
occupying the second floor, barely escaped
alive, and lost all their household effects;
the third building was occupied by Jacob
Barries' meat market; loss to him about
$3.50. The three buildings were destroyed.
How the fire originated is mystery.

DISCUSSING THE REGULATIONS.
Attorneys for the Liquor Dealers Finish
Their Arguments.

The hearing of the liquor men and their
legal representatives before the Commi ssioners
was resumed yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Joseph
Shillington opened the arguments. He ad-
dressed himself to the practice OF permitting
the reports Of the police lieutenants to exercise
controlling influence with the Commissioners.
He contended that paragraphs b and of the
regulations were directed against persons who
had been convicted or against whom a prose-
cution was pending. and did not include those
who ire suspected only of violating the law
When the Commissioners said that they would
not license any one convicted the dealers knew
just what to expect and the Commissioners had
something reliable to act upon. But when a
police officers suspicious were allowed to have
the same effect as a conviction in court the
dealer was then placed at the policeman 3
mercy. made to suffer the same consequences
as one who had been properly tried and con-
victed. He did not mean to even intimate
that the police heutenants are not fair and sim
cere and honestly believe what they report;
but, even assuming they are, it is entirely too
much power to vest iii any one man or set of
men and unfair to the dealer. Nothing short
OF trial and conviction should outweigh the
presumptions Of innocence which the law throws
| around every one suspected of crime, and where
saloon Is suspected of doing illegal busi-
ness IL is only fair to the keeper that case
should be attempted to be made, and where no
such prosecution has been attempted, or has
been unsuccessful, then the charge should have
no weight with the Commissioners.
Mr.. Duhamel confined his remarks to the
question of signatures for liquor licenses and
said he claimed that majority of both sides
OF street were only needed and not majority
on each side. He said he opposed the require
ment OF signatures from corporations, claiming
that they counted twice, once as private in
dIvlduals and once as corporations.
Mr.. Simon Wolf closed the arguments. The
Commissioners will look into the matter next
week and reply.

COINAGE IN CHINA.
The Whole Empire to Enjoy National
Standard Measure OF Values,

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-A dispatch from Pekin,
China. says that Lii Hung Chang. the yiceroy,
has matured a scheme which will cause COM
mercial revolution in China. This is the intro
duction OF a system of silver coinage complete
and uniform for the whole empire. At present
silver Is ia ken in China by weight and fnepess

their general shape as ''shoes," and when be

has been made by Chang. the late viceroy Of
Canton, to mint silver dollars and subsidiary
coins in China and an excellent
mint has been established for the
purpose, but Chang and his advisers
knew nothing Of currency, aud even If they did
they could only make their coins legal tender i'm
two provinces. Ii Hung Chang's scheme
embraces the whole empire and has
obtained the support of Prince Chun.
the prime minister and the father Of the en-
perof. One Of the arguments in favor of the
scheme is that already in all the maritime
provinces tue Mexican silver dollar and the
japanese silver ''yeu," which is of the same
value, together with smaller foreign coins. are
current and OF extreme benefit to trade There
fore the Chinese should issue such coins them
selves and not have to go abroad for
them. Moreover, the existing system by
which native banks and change houses
issue notes at their pleasure is produc-

La Crosse, Wis, Feb. 2S-when the af-

failed last fall, came up in court yesterday a
most astounding series of forgeries was dis

indorsers had generally given one
or two renewals their names were forged on
suretles over and over again How many times
this has been done is not known, but of eleven
notes IN the La Crosse bank seven are forger-
les. Only few days before the failure an
agent OF Philadelphia firm was here
to secure the settlement of an
old account and received nine notes
upon which the name of Mr.. Semsch's father
ln-law was forged 1t was the discovery Of this
that caused Wright and the bank to attach

not spent penny, and applied the money to a
peter building up of poor business in the
hope of better times
