THE BODY FOUND.

Patrick MacAdury Was SuIooated by
Grain In the Boliyla's it6Tea" BODY OF
LONDON, DeComIoi ii u NO
Patrick MacAdurY, OF Brooklyn, n. u
was found to-day in the hold OF the AN
Choir line steamship Bolivia at GIaSgo"
from New York, embedded among INC
grain. inns suUwS UnaJ the mOIner anu
friends of MacAury were correct in
their belief that he had been smothered
in grain when the steamship was being
loaded and that his body was among
the grain.
MacAdury was the bag sewer on the
Bolivia. 1t was his duty while the YES
sci was discharging her cargo to go
down the hatchways and sew up all the
torn bags before they were hauled cut.
This was what he was doing when
missed. His work took him
down the first and second
hatche. The import cargo from the
the third hatch had been taken out and
a lighter alongside was chutelng grain
into the ship at the rate of several tons
a minute. The officers were of the
opinion that MacAdury had gone
ashore and in spite of the suspicion that
his body was IN the grain, the steamer
was permitted to go without inter
ruption. Mrs. MacAdury went to the
steamer distracted with grief and ap-
pealed TO the officers not to go to sea
with the body Of her son on board
They insisted on their opinion that The
boy was not probably on board and re-
fused to undertake the task which
would have occupied two or three day!
of removing the grain to get where the
body was supposed to be located. The
discovery OF the body at Glasgow
settles all questions as to MacAdury'

THE SILVER QUESTION.
The house Coinage Committee Holds an
Interesting session.


WASHINGTON, D. c., December IA
The silver and anti-Silver men IN the
House are engaged in a little skirmish-
ing in anticipation of the failure OF the
Brussels international Monetary Con-
ference, from which the members say
they expect nothing. Each side is now
endeayoring 10 learn something OF the
purposes and views OF the other side.
Talks with free silver men and avowed
opponents Of the Sherman law show
that II is believed to be unlikely that
ANYTHING will be done at this session,
either in the way OF repeal OF the
sherman law or the enactment OF
more radical silver legislation.
This morning the House Coinage
Committee held its regular meeting.
The day was set for consideration OF the
Williams bill TO repeal the Sherman law.
Mr.. Williams, its author, was not pres
emit. and accordingly the bill went over.
There was then some very informal gem
eral discussion OF the silver question. A
proposition was put forward In rather
indefinite shape that an opportunity be
given In the House for vote on the re-
neal OF the sherman law. The free
coinage men were not unwilling that
this be done, but in order TO preserve
their present parliamentary advantage
suggested that the method by which TO
accomplish thiS was TO take up the
Bland bill, which at the last session was
finally displaced by a few dilstory move
ments after the Speaker had found 1t
necessary TO cast the deciding vote on
the bill. Mr.. Bland and Mr.. Pierce,
leaders OF the free silver section Of the
Democracy In the House, expressed q
willingness to give the other side an OPP
Dortunity to offer the Williams
and other bills as amendment TO the
Bland bill, provided that on their part
the anti-silver men would agree TO LET
the House come to a vote on the Ques-
ton Of free silver, and on other propo-
sitions more favorable 10 the extended
use Of silver currency than the present
law. MeSsrs. Tracy and Taylor, Of Illl-
pois. without committing themselves,
were 8 little inclined TO this view OF the
case. The committee adjourned with
out action, however. It is thought
that If the committee was to agree
unanimously on some recommendation
10 the House that the support Of the
Rules Committee could be obtained to
a resolution making the Silver bill a
speclal order, but nothing in the past
history OF the committee warrants the
conclusion that it will be able to act
tremendously and as q unit on the
Question of the consideration OF silver
legislation

YSar-Old Daughter.

A Father Attempts TO Shield the Brute
who RaviShed His Beautiful Eighteen
Year-Old Daughter.
DANvILLE, ILL, December 14.-The
little city Of Rossyille is in commissions
over an extraordinary affair. George
Ruth, roustabout in the employ of w.
]. Henderson, a wealthy citizen Of
Rossville, committed most brutal as
sault on Nellie, the beautiful eighteen
year-old daughter Of Henderson. The
girl nearly died OF fright and injury,
and Immediately gave the alarm. For
some unexplained reason the father
tried to dissuade Nellie from telling the
facts, and Ruth was not arrested until
fOrty-eight hours after the commits
sion OF the crime. The trial Of
Ruth, to the surprise of every
one, resulted in .acquittal. Public
indignation was instantly fired and
grown until mass meeting of the citi-
zens Of Rossville was held last night in
which strong resolutions were adopted.
Henderson was denounced as an unnat-
ural father, monster who refused TO
prosecute the ravisher OF his daughter.
1t is told OF him that on one occasion he
drove his daughter home from party
with a horsewhip. The resolutions
avowed the exemplary life of Nellie as
a modest, pure girl and view with alarm
the return of Ruth to the community.
The unfortunate girl sits at the home of
her sister in Rossvllle weeping and re-
fuses to go home. 1t is believed that
Ruth has some hold on Henderson
which prevents him from prosecuting.
Ruth remarked that if he went to the
pen Henderson would go also. Nellie
testified at the trial that Ruth said
your father gave me permission to do
this" The whole community is ang-
cred and violence is feared.

The Bill for HIS RELIEF, with the Fresl-
dents Veto Before the Senate Again
WASHINGTON, d. c., December IA
In the Senate to-day bill authorizing
the removal of the Pima and ella In
dams from their reservations in Arizona
to other reservations, was reported and
placed on the calendar.
The Presidents veto Of last session Of
the bill to submit to the court OF private
land claims, the title of VIM. McGara-
han to the Rancho Panoche Grande, in
California, was laid before the Senate
as a special order, and the vote was
about being taken on the question.
"Shall the bill pasS?" when Mr.. Sanders
demanded an explanation on the part
of the friends of the bill Of the reasons
why 1t should pass. He explained his
own understanding of the matter, one
OF his objections to the bill being
that it rested upon the imputa-
tion that the judicial and
executive departments of the govern
ment had been for many years past
guilty OF wrong doing in the premises.
His own proposition was that even If the
executive and judicial reports Of the
government had declared the original
grant to be valid one, it still would
not have found the remotest foundation
for such provisions as were contained
in the pending bill. He thought, there
sore, that Senators should be grateful
TO the President for having recalled
their attention to the bill. The Nc
Garahan bill was debated up to o'clock
ct which time the morning hour expired
and the bill wont over until tomorrow.
The anti-options bill was then taken up
and Mr.. George resumed his argument
in support of his own substitute for it.

An Amateur Train Robbers Escapade.

GREENWOOD, MISS, December H.
A bold attempt was made to hold up
and rob the west bound mail train on
the Richmond and Dsnvllle Railway
due in this city at 6:15 p. m. yesterday.
The robber, as there was only one,
boarded the train as she left Carroll
ton at 5:32 p. N. and was evidently an
amaetur in the business, as he got on
the front end of the mail car, thinking
it was the express. Then after finding
out that he could not get in the blind
end of the mail car he climbed over the
tender and told the engineer TO stop and
as soon as the train slowed up, he
Jumped off and made for the woods.
The engineer say that he was whits
man about SIX feet tall. but that be
could not see his face for the mask
Agorn by the robber.

ST.. PAUL, MINI, December 14.-lt
has been the general opinion in political
circles that the Democrats and ALI
ance men would unite as two years ago
and control the State Senate. Senator
Ignatius Donnelly, leader of the COM
bination two years ago, has, however,
written a letter to Senator Day an
nouncing his intention Of permitting
the Republicans to organize that body.
The same course will be followed by
Senators Hompe and Dedon, giving the
Republicans % of the 81 members OF
the Senate. The House also has Re-
publican majority. The latter is Of the
utmost Importance, as the State is to be
re-districted this winter and the Repuo-
licans have it In their power to prevent
legislative gerrymander.

Granville Leech Murdered.

GOSHEN. VA. July 4.-l esterday after
noon Mr.. J. Granville Leech, a prominent
citizen. of Rockbridge county, left Goshen
10 visit his brother Col Leech, who lives
fonr miles south of town, on the river
After supper Mr. Leech concluded he
woull return to Goshen in order TO make
an early start to Lexington to attend court
this morning. A storm coming up his
brother urged him to remain over night,
which he declined to do, and left his
brothers house about o'clock. Twenty
minutes after he bad lett his brother says
he heard pistol shots down toward the
river gate and heard his brother calling
for belp. Colonel Leech ran over to the
house of Mr.. Lee Leech, another brother,
hur,iedlv snmmonlng him TO his aid. Ac-
companied by several neighbors .hey ran
down toward the point from whence the
sonnd Of the firing came. On reaching the
qata. which il not over one thousand yards
fcom Colonel Leechs house, they found
Granville Leech's horse tied nearby in
nine thicket. Mr. Leechs hat and UNI
brella were near the horse, bus the body
was not in sight. They concluded the
assassin had thrown the body into the
river. Tie river was searched, but no
traces could be found, and search was
given M for the night. Atdayllght this
morning Colonel Leech and his neighbors
were ont again and when near the river
rate they discovered the body OF Mr..
Leech living in the field about sixty yards
from the rate. face down, in pool OF
blood. with bullet wounds in his head and
one through his body made by 3S-cai-
her pistol ball, The theory is that when
Mr. Leech lett his brothers house he rode
toward the outer gate OF the fatln, where
the assassin was lying in wait Tor Elm =
When MIR. Leccb dlsmOunted to open the
gate the murderer was crOuched behind
the fence within two feet of him, when he
cred the first s. OF, which went into Mr.
Leechs left side, coming out over the
right nipple. 1t is supposed at TINS Time
Leech made the cutlery 'or help and start
ed to run, falling about sixty yards south
of the cate. where his murderer overlook
him. and putting the pistol close to his
left temDle fired ball clear through his
head. Not satisfied with his bloody work
he mt the pistol TO the right temple OF his
victim and sent another bail into his
head, leaving the powder maj IS on the
face.
Robbery was not the intent of the as
sassin. as the murdered mau's watch,
money and papers were found on his body
nndlsturhcd. There is good deal OF
mystery surrounding the murder
DR.. J. C. Walden held an inquest this
morning, the jury returning a verdict
that the murdered man came to his death
from gun-,hot wounds made by some
person or persons to them unknown.
Mfr. Leech was forty nine years OF age
and born and raised in this county, lie
was widower. Suspicion points to
certain party, who will be arrested.

Wild Cat Banks,

One of the most important planks ID
the Democratic platform upon which MI
Grover Cleveland is running is a declara-
ton in sfayor of wild cat state banks
We say the declaration is in favor oil
these banks through the language of the
platform is simply that the Democratic
party is in favor of the removal OF the
tax on state banks, Should this be done
numerous irresponsible banks would
spring up and would issue notes which
would be circulated all oyer the country
with the probability of the banks
failing almost at any time, Under our
present system, notes of the banks are
absolutely good. Even if the bank fails
the notes are good. Therefore no one
every thinks for one moment of looking
at a bank note to see from which bank
il was issued. He knows that the bank
note. unless it is a counterfeit, is good,
and that it is good whether the bank
which issued it has failed or is still in
existence.
Under the old system of state banks
10 which the Democracy desire to return,
the money issued in one part of the
country would not pass in another part
or if it did it passed at heavy discount
Men never knew when they were safe in
holding bank notes.
This attempt of the Democracy to
destroy our banking system ought to be
enough by itself to defeat their candi-
dates. -Ha,risOnburg Spirit Of the Taltey'

Dissatisfied Democrats.
New York Sun.

Letters accumulate upon orr hands
from Democrats who are dissatisfied with
the ticket made at Chicago. They come,
as rule, carrying the writer's signature
and containing internal evidence OF deep
and sincere concern for the future OF the
Democracy. They are not all from New
York Democrats.
For example: Mr. Francis Lee of this
town writes at requires no prophet to
foretell the defeat OF Grover Cleveland
at the next election. Not even the grim
spectre Of the Force bill can save him"
Mr.. s. S. Decker of Havana, New York,
writes: IL do not like Cleveland stock, and
there are thousands of the same opinion
in the State The Democrats are going
TO show the Magwumps in November
that il takes Democratic votes to elect.
Those that were for Hill are Hill men yet.
We cannot stand a Mugwump Admin
istration." Mr.. Henry Grimmel OF Brook
lyn writes: "What is the matter with

These specimen extracts will serve our
purpose as we'll as a hundred. They
show that in the Democracy at the present
time all is not burrah, band music, IRE
works, and fig hiuging. The spirit
which inspires such communications in
considerable number exists and must
be taken into account. Those enthnsi-
asts who try to persuade themselves
that it does not exist, OF that if it does
exist 1T signifies nothing, shoul go and
live in Fools Paradise.

statement
"When | was elected chairman of the
National Committee il was with the dis
tiuct understanding that my business en-
gagements then pending might render 1t
impossible for me to act in that capacity.
This contingency was fully understood by
the committee and others directly inter-
ested. Since the adjournment OF he COM
mittee have been unable TO adjust my
affairs so as to render it practicable for me
to act as chairman, and | therefore, as |
reserved the right to do, announce that
I will not so act. Under the power vest
ed 10 me by the National Committee l
will probably announce the Executive
Committee within the next few days and
that committee will meet at an early
date. At that meeting | will formally
tender my resignation, and my successor
will be then elected. My successor will
be- chosen by the Executive Committee, as
authorized by resolution adopted 10y the
