Infantry Rivaiing Against the Govern

Infantry Eivaiing Against the Govern
ment--Great Sensation at Oporto.
OPoRTo, Jan. 9t.-A tremendous SEN
sation has been caused here by what
may turn out to be a revolution against
the authority of the government, three
regiments of infantry, openly reyolted
to-day. The remaider of the garrison,
including the municipal guard, remains
loyal to the government.
The population of Oporto hold aloof
from the movement at present. 1t is
alleged that the object of the mutineers
is to establish Portuguese republic.
The rebels and the loyalists are, as this
dispatch is sent, fighting in the streets.
Sumor has it that many were killed
on both sides. Citizens are barricading
their houses and the report is circulated
that government troops are being sent
in haste from several points to this city.

Another story of pefau,ter Pierce.

A new story in regard to j. Eldridge
Pierce, the City Loan defaulter, is that
he is in London luxuriating on his har-
vest of thefts tilched from the pockets
of Wilmington working people. He
disappeared two or three days after the
November elections cleverly covering
his absence with the plausible theory
not to appear in one of the Twelfth dis
trict election cases for which he was the
chief and necessary witness against a
fellow Republican election officer. The
story in its palpable plausibility dis
armed all suspicion and the fugitive
gained several days time accordingly.
Another statement is that Pierce left
London Christmas time for Brazil where
he has since been living.

William Ashley received $4,000 for
distribution among the Omaha Indians,
but the half-breed families complained
to President Harrison that Ashley
wishes to drive them from their lands,
and refuses them their part of the

through Chief Justice Fuller, has
granted an injunction, and United
States marshal started for the reservation
Monday to serve the papers.

A woman named Heinleich, whose
husband was one of the victims of the

Mt. Pleasant, Pa, Tuesday week, was
tue leader of an assault on Superintend-
cat Keighley, Monday. Accompany
ing her We're Hungarian woman and

Josiah Willetts entered the office of
the South Brooklyn Steam Engine
C ,mpany, in New York, Monday, and
snot Dolphin N. Cobb, one of the pro-
prietors, in the right side. Patrick
Quinn, a workman, wrested the pistol
from Willetts as he was preparing to
fire second time, and hit him such a
crack on the skull with it that he frac-
tured his skull. Cobb is about So years
old and Willetts nearly so. Some
months ago Cobb lodged at Willetts'
house, 275 President street. Those who
knew the cause of Willetts' outbreak
refused to say anything. Cobb would
not even say that he had any falling out
with Willetts. Domestic trouble is be-
lieved to be at the bottom of the matter.

Our Ottawa correspondent tells the
story of queer incident in the supreme
court. Counsel for the appellant in a
case from the west had been for good
half hour stating his case to the court.
Mr.. Justice Strong had been talking
freely with the counsel, as is his wont,
and was apparently helping the timid
pleader out, when he started at some
thing the lawyer said and asked, Are

Gold and Silver.

iNtilEltuS tlbIhlis
How can gold and silver, two articles
of unequal value, be maintained at
equity with each other? These metals
vary in the markets of the world, and a
fixed ratio cannot readily be attained
A theory that ratio proposed by law
might be held has not met the approval
of all intelligent men. The United
States government has proceeded on the
ground of limit to the coinage of the
cheaper metal, making it redeemable in
the other at par. This is bimetallism,
as generally understood. The propo-
sition Of the free coinage of both
metals without limits is difficult of en-
tertainment. There is large excess of
of silver, which the other nations Of the
world are endeavoring to speculate with,
and watch our course in America. 1t is
believed that France, England and Ger
many would take advantage of the act
to unload their surplus of the cheaper
metal here. This would make it fall
lower in value. The silver dollar is
worth about rs cents. The 412tgrain
standard does not meet the wishes Of
the people who want money, though it
hits it very nearly. As silver has been
going down in worth for seveal hundred
years, it does not follow that gold has
gone up-the one displaces the dearer,
which is boarded. Gold can be made
to come down by. a broad international
policy that compasses the globe, traffic
being wisely maintained.

ELKToN, MD, Feb. 2.-George Dit
more, q German, about rs years old, who
resides with his wife, Christine, on a
small farm in the second election dis
trict of Cecil county, about two and a.
half miles below Chesapeake City, was
terribly assaulted last night, and in all
probability will die from his injuries.
Some person entered the house about 0
o'clock and proceeded to ransack the
rooms. Mr. Ditmore, who was in bed
at the time, was struck on the head with
a heavy club. He cried "murderl' and
his wife who is also over 20 years old,
started up the stairs with lamp in her
hand. As she reached the top she was
struck on the head with club, and the
lamp was demolished.
The assailant and would-be robber
then kicked out window-sash and
jumped to the ground below. Mr.. Dit
more's injuries are of a serious nature,
all the bones being broken beneath his
eyes, his nose crushed to jelly, and he
presents fearful appearance. He was
sent to Philadelphia on the Ericsson
Line steamer from Chesapeake City to a
hospital. He is not expected to recover,
Mrs. Ditmore has bad cut on the head.
The club used was heavy board about
yard long. The old couple lived by
themselves. States's Attorney William
S. Evans investigated the matter this
afternoon. The tracks of a man were
followed from where he had jumped
from the window to cottage occupied
by Alfred Stout, a colored man Of about
80 years. He was arrested this after
noon while engaged in placing out fish
ing nets, and is now lodged in Jail at
this place.
