He PRAYED, AROSE AND WALKED
After lying in bed utterly helpless for
two years, a victim of seemingly incur
able spinal trouble, Elias R. Pyle, Of
West Chester, Pa, has just left his
couch, and processes to have been cured
entirely through the instrumentality OF
prayer; the doctors having considered
his case hopeless.
The cure took effect certainly with
out the aid of medicine or surgery, two
days ago, and it greatly astounded Mr.
Pyle's family and his physician. The
confirmed invalid had been dreadfuliv
injured by being thrown over an en-
bankment, in a runaway accident, near
Bethlehem, seven years ago. After a
long siege of illness he recovered and
resumed his business as miller but
was again Frustrated % months ago
this time with spinal disease so seri-
Gus as to throw him into commissions
every time he was moved in his bed.
Two days ago, pursuant to his an

Mr.. Pyle arose from his bed, dressed
himself and walked about the room.
Since then he has been rapidly mend

AFTER FORTY YEARs.-After an alb
of forty-one years, George G.. Gaskin
who mysteriously disappeared from his
home in Brooklyn, leaving q wife and
little girl, returned the other day tc
find himself the grandfather of host
of children and his wife the mother o.
ten children by another husband. Gas
kin was sailmaker, and on the day Of
his disappearance he left ostensibly to
90 fishing. Three months after his dis,
appearance Mrs. Gaskin gave birth to 9
son, who was named after the absent
father.
Several years following her husbands
disappearance Mrs. Gaskin was married
to William Bridge. They went to live
in Long Island City, n. Y. Mr.. Bridge
served several times as postmaster
there, and was leader in republican
politics in Queens county. His family
was held in high esteem, and many Of
his children were married from that
place before he went to live in Locust
Valley, where he is now running can
ming factory.
When Gaskin's son grew to manhood
he married unhappily, and after being
separated from his wife wandered about
the country. A few months ago while
in San Francisco, he met man in sa-
loon there who turned out to be his
father. This meeting started the man
eastward.

THE SILVER B1LL.-The President, it

THE SILVER BILL.-The President, it
is said, was inclined yesterday to favor
the abandonment of the Voorhees, sub
stitute and the passage of the Wilson
bill which was approved by the House
of Representatives repeating the Sher-
man law, but when it was explained to
him by Senator Villas that the change
might lead to delay instead of expedit-
ing matters, Mr.. Cleveland stated he
was perfectly satisfied with the Voor-
bees substitute and only desired early
action. The Presidents reason for ia
voring this plan was that there is not
now quorum of the House of Repre-
sentatives in the city and he feared
there might be some delay in getting a
quorum there to vote on the amended
bill, whereas if the Wilson bill should
be passed without amendment it would
not have to go back to the House at
all, but could go to the White House
for signature at once. President Clevc
land and Secretary Carlisle are under
stood to be of the opinion that it will
not be necessary to take any extraor-
binary steps for the relief of the trea
sury before the meeting of the regular
session of Congress in December. 1.-THE
final vote on the repeal bill is taken
this week or the first of next week, it
will be possible for Congress to adjourn
Wednesday or Thursday of next week
until December.

The!Russians i'm Lyons.

When the train carrying the Russian
officers arrived at Lyons yesterday, the
people were wild with delight. The
route to the City Hall was lined with
people. The passage of the party was
slow, and often the carriages were
obliged to stop, because of the crowds.
Men and women pushed forward and
shook hands with the Russians,a land OFT
en- the women would kiss them. Boa-
uuets and loose flowers were showercd
upon them from the houses along the
route, and the procession was in every
respect triumphal one. When the
carriages were passing the Cathedral OF
Notre Dame de Fouryiere, at the Place
Bellecour, the bells chimed the Rus
sian anthem, which the visitors ac-
knowledgcd by dofIing their hats. Il
banquet was given at the prefecture.
Admiral Avelan sat between Project
Rivaud and General Voisin, military
governor of Lyons. Archbishop Coul-
lie was one Of the guests.
An enormous number Of gifts have
been presented to the Russians either
for themselves or for the Car and
Czarina. Among the presents are
twelve beautiful silk dresses for the
Czarina, a large number of silk French
and Russian flags and $500 silk hand
kerchiefs. The latter are intended for
the sailors of the Russian fleet. The
silk manufactures of Lyons are the
most important in the world, and the
gifts of this material are the best work
of the Lyonnais looms.
At Clichy, yesterday morning. while
the train conveying the Russians 10
Versailles was crossing the Seine on
the Asnieres railway bridge, woman
on the parallel bridge waved the
French and Russian flags, shouting,

jumped into the river and was drown
ed. The body when recovered was
found to be attired in a chemise neatly
made of Russian flags and petticoat
made of Russian and French flags.

THE EFFECT of the expressed deter
mination of the u. S. Senate to concur
with the House of Representatives in
the passage of the bill TO suspend the
governments purchase of silver. has
been to lower the price of stock in silver
mining companies. Well, as no body
owns stock in such companies except
rich people, who can bear the loss, the
Others are not as those without hope.
When the bill TO remove the tariff tax
on the necessaries of life shall pass, the
price of stock in the protected manu-
featuring companies will also fall, but
that loss will fall on the few rich stock
holders, while the many poor consum els
will be benefited. The government
has no more right to keep up the price
of silver stocks by aflording q ready
and high market for the surplus prod,
uct Of the silver mining companies, than
it has to maintain high price for the
stock of tobacco manufacturing compa-
MES, by purchasing all the surplus
product of those companies. This gov
eminent was founded upon the idea
that it would afford equal oppor-
tunities to all, and special favors to
none, and that idea should prevail in
all congressional legislation.

THURSDAY EVENING. OCT %, 1898
COLONEL o'FEERALL has assigned

COLONEL O'FEERALL has assigned
another reason for his refusal to resign
his seat in Congress until he shall com
mence to draw his pay as Governor.
But it is even less plausible, if that
could be, than any of those previously
offered. 1t is that "his vote in the
House may be needed on the silver bill
in the event that the Senate shall pass
the VOORHEES, bill or some compromise
measure" Why, the bill passed the
House by an overwhelming majority,
and everybody knows it would do so
again whether Colonel O'Ferrall were
present or not; so that the necessity OF
his presence when the vote shall be
taken is altogether chimerical. And
then too, why the Colonel, who, accord
ing to the Richmond Dispatch, is free
coinage man, should be particularly
anxious to record himself twice in OPP
position to such coinage, when the ma
iority of the people of his State, wrong
as they may be, are in favor of it, is
known to himself better than it is to
any body else. The Colonel would
have acted more wisely if he had as
signed no reasonI fer the course he has
pursued.

THERE is no government commission
that doesn't cost more than it comes TO-
and none of them has been of less pub
lie benefit than the interstate COM
merce commission. The latter, how
ever, now has it in its power to do the
growing pig iron industries of the
South, not only simple justice, bat
great good, by prohibiting the railroad
companies from discriminating against
them in the matter of freights to north
ern points. So great is this discrimiua-
ton that there has been a marked re-
duction in the use ofsouthern pig iron at
all the iron works of the North to
which there is only railroad transporta-
ton. At those to which there is water
transportation, there has been no such
reduction. There are two southern
members of the commission, and they
should make it their business to see
that the gross injustice referred to
shall continue no longer.

A BILL has been introduced in Con-
gress to confer the privilege of suffrage
upon the people resident in the District
of Columbia and to allow them to elect
delegate to the U. S. House of Repre-
sentatives. Attempts to attain the
same object are made at almost every
session of Congress and are supported
by many of the demagogues of the Dis
trict. The evil effects of free suffrage
in the District Of Columbia were pat
emily illustrated soon after the close OF
the war between the States, and that
they would not be lessened now is in
dictated by the facts that negroes now
constitute nearly half the population OF
the District, and that the Star, of Wash,
ington, says that city is afflicted with
idle and worthless and criminal ne
groes y to every one of whom an cleo.
ton campaign would be q satumalia.

r,o 1o;nt Debate at Waterfall.


Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.j
In the joint discussion at Waterfall
on Saturday last the populists were rep
resented by Hon. Thos. Jefferson Hud-
son, member of Congress from Kansas,
and the democrats by Prince Williams
ablest son, Hon. Chas. E. Nicol, nomi-
nee for the House of Delegates.
The former led off, declaring that for
d wears he had unfinchingly voted the
democratic ticket, and had left the or
ganization simply because the party had
repudiated the tenets of his honorcd
namesake and were bowling with Cleve-
land in the worship Of the golden calf.
He discussed ably the silver question,
as viewed by the pOpulists and free sill
yer democrats.
Mr.. Ncol followed, soon bringing
down the house" with rather vulgar,
but mirth-provoking anecdote, that
rom its antiquity, and oft repeated
use by speakers of all parties in break
ing the force of an opponents facts,
certainly commands recognition if not
respect. He declared vigorously and
ably for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver in the time-honored ratio OF
16 to /. Said the party was irrevocably
pledged to this and that it would as
surely come as the sun was in the heav
ems. On this point Mr.. Hudson and
himself were perfectly agreed, and to
the surprise of many of US were as
united as Jonathan and David.
The applause that greeted Nicols
free silver declaration made the well
kin ring, and would have added a
hundred per cent. to the backbone Of
Johnnie Daniel in his free silver fight.
Mr.. Nicol said if Congress repealed the
ten per cent. tax on State bonds, as be
hoped it would, he would offer
bill in our Legislature this winter for
the charter Of State Banks, with cur
rency bottomed on what we owe; viz,
our State bonds.
The meeting passed off most har-
moniously, each party being more than
satisfied with the efforts of its cham
pion, both parties being surprised and
gratiied that their speakers should
agree on the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l..
Both parties CLAIM the precinct at the
November election.
