Determined to Maintain silver

WASHINGTON, June o9.-The talk of the
radical silver men since the news from In
dia is rather defiant. Most of them tle-
clare that they are more determined TO
maintain the white metal for money stan
dad. While admitting that the demonet-
ization in India is hard blow at bimet-
alism at the present ratio, they speak of
1t rs n conspiracy and insist that it is more
Than ever important that this country
should stand by silver. They claim to be
1irmer than ever in their position and say
that they intend to fight with all their
might to prevent the degradation of silver
being any greater.

HE WANTED TOLL.
Peter GfnEon Charged with Assault
by Two Young Women.


There are two steep hills leading from
Anacostia TO the county, one being the Good
Hope HILL while the other is known as Asy-
lum hill. 1t is customary for pedestrians.
especially ladies. to accept invitations from
drivers and ride UP these hills. and nothing
is thought of such acceptance. though the
driver be a stranger. Peter Gingon, the son
OF a wealthy resident OF the county. Il is
alleged. has invited more than one person
to occupy a seat in his carriage. and he IL
now charged with having attempted 10
force the payment of toll on two occasions.
One of them was In March last when Miss
Mary Kearney accepted Gingon's invitation
in good faith. and the other occurrence
charged is alleged to have taken place On
the 18th of this month.
Miss Laura Nelson was the young lady
who got in his carriage. and she charges
that when the vehicle was about half way
up the hill the young man put his arm
around her waist and attempted to kiss
her. She objected, and resisted. and would
have jumped from the vehicle had not her
alleged assailant held her. When the top
of the hill was reached she renewed her
attempt to escape and made an outcry,
she states, whereapon she was permitted
to leave and go her way.
A warrant was sworn out. and Policeman
Mari arrested Gingon and he was released
on SO collateral
This morning Miss Nelson and Miss kear-
ney appeared in the Office of Prosecuting
Attorney Mullowney and swore TO informa-
tons charging the young man with as
sault.
He failed to respond when the cases were
called and his collateral was forfeited
Mr.. Mullowney thought the amount in
sufficient to cover the offense. and upon his
motion the court ordered an attachment
issued. The young man will have TO come
in and stand trial

UNFORTUNATE CLERKS.
Many Cases of Distress Among Those
Recently Discharged.

Patent Office people are about to give
themselves over to charitable deeds.
subscription paper is to be placed in circu-
lation for the benefit of the unfortunates
who were recently dismissed Many OF
those whose occupations are gone were
employed i'm the unclassified service, where
the salaries are not as high as the monu-
ment They could not accumulate any
great riches. and now. just on the front
end of a winter which promises TO have
plenty of snap in il, their condition is such
that charity is in order. Some OF the wo-
men who were discharged are said to be in
abject poverty. and several of the others
are on the borderland thereof Two or
three of those who were dismissed from the
classified service are said TO be in urgent
need of aid.
One woman. an ex-clerk. came to the
department a few days ago. and stated TO
enc of her late comrades that she had had
no food for twenty-four Eours, had not q
sou had been cast out by her landlady for
ron-payment of dues and had no place TO
rest. She was from New YORK, but the
only relation she had there was sister.
and she was a housekeeper and also with
out a home. There was nothing TO be gain
ed by returning to York state She had
tried to procure a situation of some kind.
almost of any kind, but had failed. She
was aged not able to compete with young
women in stores. She had applied TO one
of the charity Institutions of the city. but
could get no permanent relief. Tears came
i'm the woman's eyes as she told her story
The clerk to whom she had applied also
wept and yielded up her lunch and part
of her salary, but this. at most. was but
a temporary lift
Another bad case of a clerk who was dis
missed from the classified service, and who
while in office had received a good salary,
has come 10 light The person in this in
stance is a man well along in years. and
l,o-. tn 10 fCid af
duties which he had performed for the gov
eminent for long term Of years. In his
prosperity he had lived well. and had treas
ured up very little of his earnings. Beside
this he had dissolute son. who had the
unhappy faculty Of getting into scrapes
which cost the father goodly sums OF cash.
Now the scion cannot help the sire and the
family is i'm bad way. The Office knows
all about II. and intends TO do what IL can
TO help the unfortunates to weather the
winter
