a City Court Jury Out on Diminutive
Case
A complicated case of assault and battery
was tried in the city court yesterday. The
prosecutor was Mrs. Rose Sutker, and the
defendants were Rachel Mungin, Peter
Sampson and Jennie Sampson.
Mrs. Sutker, the prosecutor. claimed she
had been assaulted, first by Rachel Mungin
and afterward by Peter and Jennie Samp-
son. The defense, on the other hand,
alleged that Mrs. Sutker had first assaulted
Rachael Mungin, and that she only acted
in self-defense, and that Sampson and his
wife were only acting as peacemakers The
whole trouble originated in a children's
row. The jury at late hour last night
were still debating the case, with no pros
pect Of an agreement. W. W. Osborne,
Esq, conducted the prosecution, and r. r.

work while it is connected with CLASH

SENATOR STEWART of Nevada car
ried the war into Africa last week by
making silver speech in Faneuil hall,
Boston. He had an audience of about
eight hundred persons, who cheered
him to the echo. He said that the rea-
son why the East is against silver is
that British investors in this country
threaten to withdraw their money if
silver is remonetized. Every dispatch
sent here is doctored, and no financial
measure has been passed in the last
five years without job. The senator
said the talk about a deprecated dollar
was all nonsense. If the $780, 600
of silver bullion now stored by New
York spectators were taken up, there
would be no difficulty in maintaining
the parity of gold and silver. Ex-
Representative Warner of Ohio also
spoke, and his most striking remark
was that the time is at hand when the
question will not be how the United
States will pay her balance to other
countries, but how they will pay theirs
to us. They will then pay them in the
money which we declare to be the
money of the land. There is one thing
about the silver agitation which is very
evident, and that is that its promoters
are thoroughly in earnest. There is no
question, either, about the patriotism
and disinterestednes of Senator Stew
art. He is not silver mine owner.
He has made a special study of the
silver question, and his honest conclu-
sion is that our monetary system would
be on sounder basis if silver coinage
were as free as that of gold.
