Trouble In the Family.

OMAHA, March 27.-What is suspected to
be the attempted poisoning of the family of
j. s. Hascall, a prominent politician, was
brought to light to-day. Last Tuesday
while Hascall was away from home, five
members of his household were taken sud
denly sick aften dinner, and next morning
Emma Anderson, the housekeeper, died.
The others are recovering. The family
kept the matter quiet until to-day, but the
probabilities now are that the housekeeper's
Neb., will be exhumed and an inquest be
held Hascall is divorced from his wife,
and, it is alleged, the Anderson woman was
the cause of the separation. It is claimed
that threats had been made that she would
not die natural death.

Washington Letter.
tFrom our Regular CorrespondentJ
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10, 1891.


A new factor seems to DO thrown
into the Speakership fight, and it is by
no means impossible that the Repre-
sentatives elected as members of the
Farmers Alliance and those elected as
Democrats, but who are members of
tho Alliance, may by combining their
votes succeed in naming the next
Speaker. Already Mr.. Crisp has had
notice served on him by the four ALI
ance Democrats elected from Georgia
that unless he will endorse the Ocala
platform they will not vote for him.
Whether these gentlemen are acting
independently or in concert with the
other Alliance men elected to the next
House is the conundrum that is worry
ing the political prophets just now.
A Democrat thus figures how the
men OF Alliance sympathies can, unless
some one Of the candidates shall have
an overwhelming majority at the start,
name tho Speaker: ut is assumed
that there are in the neighborbood of
forty members who favor the Alliance,
and that they will all 60 into the
Democratic caucus for the nomination
Of officers Of the House. II that be
true, all they have got to do is to keep
their votes together until the man they
want nominated shall get votes enough
with theirs added to make majority
Of the caucus, and presto, the thing is
done, by casting their votes for that
man." That is an aspect of the case
that few people seem to have thought
Of until now, and it is causing no little
uneasiness among the friends Of the
various candidates.
Washington has been unusually
quiet this week, owing to various
causes, but it wasn't SO quiet that no
attempt was made to launch Presi-
dental boom-few weeks will be for
the next ten or eleven months. The
booms this week by coincidence we're
for a full ticket for each party, and all
four of the gentlemen named have been
prominently mentioned as Presidential
candidates. The Southern Democrats
are credited with having launched the
German and Gray ticket, and the old
soldier Republicans are said to be re-
sponsible for the proposition to make
the Republican ticket Blaine and Al
ger, and it is given out here that the
scheme has General Algers consent
Republicans say, but Democrats deny
it, that the meeting of the Executive
Committee of the National Association
of Democratic Clubs, which has been
called for next week in New York city,
is to be held in the interest of the
German and Gray boom. The chair
man Of that committee, Representative
Wilson, of West Virginia, has hereto
fore been classed as Cleveland man,
but Of course there is nothing to pre-.
vent his changing his mind il he wants
to.
For some time past there has been
considerable talk about the amount Of
The Coconino sun., 1891-08-15

money in circulation per capita in the
United States, therefore the tables
prepared by the Treasury Department
giving the exact figures may fill long
felt want. In 1860 the amount per
capita in circulation was SlS.85; in
1865 it was S20.S2; in 1885 it was
$23.02, and on the first Of January Of
the present year it reached the highest
amount in our history, S24.l0. Since
then it has been reduced by the heavy
shipments Of gold to foreign countries,
and on the first Of August it was
s2s;s7, or nearly back to what it was
in 1885.
1t is amusing to hear the Ohio poll
ticians of both parties, who drop into
Washington constantly, talk about the
merits Of their respective parties.
Both Republican and Democrat will
assure you that there isn't the slightest
doubt of the election of their ticket,
and in tho course of five-minute con
versation both of them will admit that
the Farmers Alliance is the real um.
pire in the contest. End that which
ever side is favored BY that organiza
tion will win.
