600 of subsidiary coin now in
the treasury. About $16.000,O OF
this consisted of half dollar pieces. The
amendment provided a sufficient sum to

The o'Flaherty Poisoning Case

HARRINGTON, Neb., Sept. u.-TSpecial
telegram to THE HERALD. The examina-
ton of the witnesses in the preliminary
hearing of the O'Flaherty poisoning case
was completed this afternoon. OFlaherty
was on the stand in his own behalf. He
was evidently laboriag under great excite
ment. He averred ignorance of the con-
tents Of the bottle which killed one man
and paralyzed two others, and said he
ordered the druggist to put up alcohol and
corrosive sublimate IN separate packages.
During the examination of the accused the
startling story was developed for the first
time that while on his way home the same
evening the men were poisoned he met
another friend, but instead of the bottle
being used he gave him a drink of whisky
from jug. O'F'laherty's case is greatly
injured By his own evidence.

Balmaceda is question exciting universal
interest here just at present The junta
de gobierno has the matter under advise
meut now and has held several conferences
with leading merchants and bankers in re-
gard to what is best to be done. The prin
cipal banks throughout Chill remain closed
pending their decision. Very little other
money is IN circulation. The general opin-
ion is that it will be impossible for the
government to repudiate it. Up to the
present time this currency is unquestioned.
The reputation of BaImacedas notes
would have the most serious effect on COM
MERGE and all banking Institutions. There
seems to be no disposition TO persecute the
ministers and other officials who served
under Balmaceda. The tribunal of Justice
is making rigid investigation into the &C
lions OF these men. Where the offenders are
shown to nave used public moneys their
property will be confscated to paw for
their populations, and in some cases where
officials have been guilty of acts OF gross
cruelty and prosecutions of Congression-

New YORK, Sept. 11.-Many labor men
don't like j. Sloat Fassett, the Repu blican

for lack of labor legislation at tho last ses-

censed against him and blame him for the
defeat of the state printing bill. At the

ne would not use his influence against it,
In violation of his promise, they claim,
Senator Fassett brought pressure to bear
on Senator James w. Bierkett, of Brook
Ign, to vote against it, and it was his vote
that killed the bill. The typographical
unions have not taken any action in the
matter yet, but say they will before cleo

Fassett responsible for the failure of the
