WESTERN UNIONS DIVIDEND.

Wednesday, March lip. IN.
The directors of the Western Union Telegraph
Company at their regular quarterly meeting to-
dav declared the usual dividend Of IA per cent.
The estimated revenues, for the actual earnings
are not known for this month. are stated at
81 256542 in excess Of charges, and, as the dlvl-
dend REQUIRES 81 .017,400, the estimated surplus
for the quarter is only $l19,l42 The corrected
statement for the previous quarter shows loss
of S27l 1913 from the estimates, but the dis
crepancy is explained partially by Interruptions
by storms and the fact that repairs to the gen
cral office are being paid out of current earnings
The following is a comparison between the es-
timated and actual earnings for the quarter ended
on December 81.

The Government Beaten in an lmUOrtant
Suit-A Decision Under Which 1t May

PHILADELPHIA, June 20.-The jury
in the suit of Meyer & Dickinson
against the government to recover

a verdict of $532. 10 for the plain

THEY CRY FOR SILVER.

Meeting of the Free Coinage Men-Gen.
Warner and Other Members of the
White Metal COMMITTEES Issue an Ad-
dress.
New York, June 22-The national
executive silver committee held meet
ings in this city Friday and Saturday.
The following members were pres
ent: Gen. A. J. Warner, of
Ohio, chairman; Francis G. New
lands. of Nevada. vice chairman; Lee
Crandall, of Washington, secretary, and
l.. M. Ramsay, of Missouri. Edwards
Pierrepont was unable to be present.
Senators Jones and Stewart, of Nevada,
were in consultation with the commit
tee during the sessions. Saturday even
ing the committee issued an address, in
which it says:
The national silver committee desires to
call the attention OF the country to the object
lesson which is being exhibited in the des
perate struggle OF the great financial institu-
tions on both sides of the Atlantic to in
crease the gold reserves to avoid bank
ruptcy and ruin, and to the fact that any
increase by one necessarily diminishes the
reserves of others. For eighteen years the
basis Of credit in gold-standard countries
has been growing narrower rs the single stand
ard has been extended and the production of
gold fallen or while the structure of credit
has been growing proportionately larger and
more insecure, until the relation of credit to
actual money, as disclosed in the Barings'
failure, in gold standard England has
alarmed the world and started anew the
scramble for gold that threatens
all business undertakings and stalks us men
ace to every legitimate enterprise. The rem
edy is in the restoration of bimetalism. Plac,
our money system again upon the broad basis
of geld and silver as the money OF ultimate re-
demption instead Of gold alone Support the
credit system of the banks and the country by
both the metals under free and unlimited
coinage. A stable and not Il f1uctuating cur
rency is required by legitimate business. Who
can doubt that greater stability resides in
money coined from the metals automatically
regulated than in credit DEVICES that to-day arc
and tomorrow may vanish!'
The committee says this is the para
mount issue in this country and should
be made such in the elections this year.
All other issues are involved in this
and cannot be separated from il.

JosEPHE. M'DONALD. Run nells Sunday
morning for the first time of his total
abandonment of all hope of recovery.
His strength had shown decided
break, and opiates were administered
in the evening to relieve the continuous
and painful hiccoughing. At 8 o'clock
in the afternoon the communion
was partalzen of by him at the
hands of Rev. DIR. NJ. l.. Harris.
of the First Presbyterian church,
in the absence of his pastor, Rev.
Joseph Miiburn, of the Second church.
The elders of the latter church and the
immediate relatives participated in the
service. Senator McDonald's mind was
perfectly clear, and at the close he said
he desired the communion as testi-
mony of his faith in Christ. He shook
hands with all present, and said that
now he would receive no more visitors.
Shortly afterward he fell into an un-
conscious state, in which he remained
till his death.
Joseph Ewing Mcdonald was born In Butler
county, O., August 90 18l9 and taken to Mont
gomery county. Ind, in 1926. At the age of /:
years, after brief period in the village
trade in Lafayette. While working ut his
trade he studied law, and when he finished his
apprenticeship he was prepared to enter
Wabash college in the higher classics. In :84s
he entered the law office Of Zebulon Beard at
Lafayette. The next year he was admitted to
the bar. Before he received his license to
practice he was nominated for county prose
cutor and elected over his whig colupe .itor
This was the first election by the peo-
pie of prosecuting attorneys. Later, 1T the
first election when attorney generals OF the
state were elected by the people, he was the
choice AS attorney general he served two
terms. and two years later was elected to con.
gress serving one term. In 1856 he was elected
attorney general OF the state and reelected
in 1885, Declining for the third time he
resumed his law practice and the following
year moved 10 Indianapolis. In 1881 was his
party's candidate for governor and canvassed
the state in Il joint debate with Morton. He
was defeated Tut there was cast bigger vote
than had been cast the two years previous
In 1878 he was elected to the United States
senate. He failed to be his own successor
Benjamin Harrison being chosen.
In his private life Mr.. Mcdonald was at the
head OF one OF the largest law firms in Indian
apolis and one of the three foremost at the In
diana bar. He was engaged in good many
prominent cases which have been tests us to
the constitutionality OF the law. Personally
he was genial. kindly and winning.
In speech he was forceful without
passion. There was no deceit in his compost
ton. He was we'll known all over the country
and familiars spoke OF him as "Joe' or Uncle
Joseph" He was married three times, two
sons surviving OF the four children of the first
marriage The great part Of Mr. McDcnald'S
life was his home life, for he was emincntly

A QUEEN OF CRIME.
A Newburg IN. W Girl Accused Of Hors
stealing, Arson and Murder.

A Newburx IN. w. Girl Accused of Horse
stealing, Arson and Murder.
NEwBURG, N. Y, June 2O.-There is
a girl in Jail at Newburg who, if all
the charges against her are true,
is the incarnation of viciousness
and depravity. She is under
arrest for horse-stealing, but will
also be charged with arson and murder.
Within three months she is said to have
married an old farmer, burned down
his house, mill and barn, roasted his
weak-minded son to death in one of
her fires, wound up by running Off
with a Newburg livery team and
surrey and trading them for other
horses and wagon. The girl was
arrested in Newburg Thursday night
on a charge of grand larceny on COM
plant of Won Allen Whitbeck, a Broad
way liveryman, and she then gave the
name of Jennie Williamson. In her
cell at the police station she acted
wildly at times and tore up her white
apron and hosiery in what seemed to
be q frenzy of insanity.
