Medical Intelligence.

Colonel Witherspoon, to whom we
have frequently referred to as the
meanest man in Harlem, has been in
poor health for some months past. The
principal cause of his feebleness is his
unwillingness to feed himself with suf-
ficient copiousness.
A few days ago while he was taking
the air he met DR.. Perkins Soonover.
Witherspoon thought this was good
chance to get some medical advice with
out paying for it.

NEW YORK, July Northumberland
ing the FURRY in the money market to-
day. bank presidents and Others &C.
cupying positions familirazing them
with current conditions, unanimously
agree that the gener' situation is i'm
proved and will tinue to do so.
There is nothing in the financial situa-
ton. to produce such unsettling. At,
several larger banks, it is said, that a
considerable amount of currency was
received this morning. Regarding the
silver question in the west the presi-
dent of the prominent downtown
bank received the following letter to-
day from the head of "a leading r.
camille house in Denver, Col, which
has dealings throughout the sivler
states.
"In regard to silver mining in this
state, will say we candidly believe the
present situation is very much exag'
gerated and as soon as there is any
prospect for obtaining definite price
for silver a great many of our mines
will be operated on as large scale as
formerly. This we say on the sappo-
sition that the present price of silver,
say 70 cents per ounce, is rec sonable
price, as silver coSts very nearly this
figure to produco. If the price of
silver should decline materially below
70 cents per ounce there will undoubt-
eddy be a curts ilment on production
in this state, but we believe that as
rule merchants will be able to pay
their accounts in full and that loss to
the jobbers at any point in the state
ought to average a very low percent
age. The talk and threats of few
rab'd silverites is, in our opiu;on,
taken too seriously in the East, as
parties who do most of this talking
have no credit or standing at home
and we do not see any reason why
they should be believed abroad"
Mail advices from Panama under
date of July 5, say: THE tumble in
silver has created general consterna-
ton among business men who trade
in countries which are exclusively silver
which the credit system prevails
throughout Spanish-America is known
in the North, and debtors who see
their resources diminish by one-half
through the sudden depreciation of
the money he uses, is inevitably forced
to the wall. But one failure occurred
here during the year, that of Obarrio
& Co., but that had no connection
with the silver panic. Exchange
dealers refuse to fix rates of exchange
except for small sums, and but little
trade is doing"

Special to The Statesman.
LLANo, Tex, July 12.--The Rev.
Abe Mulkey closed his big meeting
last night and left this morning for his
home in Corsicana. The meeting was
in every respect grand success. There
were about 1876 conversions and recla-
nations, of which number A joined the
Methodist church, % the Baptist
church, Is the Christian church and
two the Presbyterian church, and the
remainder will be distributed among
the various churches. The collections
to pay the incidental expenses of the
meeting amounted to $ll5. The free
offerings to the preacher about $500,
and there was so collected for poor
farmer who had his house burned.
The preacher from first to last de-
nounced sin in all its forms in the
most measured terms. But perhaps
the greatest good he did while here
vast to bring about a more fraternal
feeling among the different churches
of the town. Llano will long remem-

Our sheriff is still after cattle

citizens in jail last Sunday, and in de-

we have some clouds this week aud
hope for rain before many days.
A petition is being circulated and
extensively signed asking the commits

Our magnificent courthouse is now
receiving the finishing touches and
will be completed in a short time.
The normal school for this district
opened Monday morning. There are

conducting the school, is certainly the

WORK NOT STOPPED.

page Of Work on Canal.


NEW YORK, July 1.-THE report
that the Nicaragua Canal Construc-
ton company had stopped all work
on the Nicaragua canal on account
of lack of funds was officially denied
this morning by ex-senator Warner
Miller president of the company. I'VE
have not stopped entirely" said Mil
Ter, although Of course we had to
lessen the amount of work. In times
of financial stringency everyone has
to cut his coat according to cloth.
Work is now going on on the break
water at the entrance OF Greytown
harbor, and also on the harbor. Be-
sides that we have large number of
men looking after our valuable ma
chinery.
1t is true that the company's securi-
ties are not bought. Persons have
been buying them all along and are
doing so yet. AS for the report that
there is any dissension in the com
pany, that is untrue. We had to stop
work to considerable extent at the
time of the revolution in Nicaragua.
Our boats were seized. These boat
are our only means of transportation
up the river. We expect this will soon
be settled in a satisfactory manner.
Then when the money situation be-
comes a little easier we expect to 60
ahead with work at full blast. Little
more than 81, 800, 900 have already been
expended by the company"

said the suspension was due to the
steady withdrawal of deposits since
