Commercial from Elyria, o., says: A
frightful murder and suicide occurred

ming shot his wife, killing her Instantly,

back. He then turned his revolver on
Mrs. White and next shot himself in the

ment side by side, united in death,
though separated in life. The deed was
prelneditated at Manning had written
long letter to his relatives explaining
the causes which prompted him to com

his wife had applied for divorce were
drunkenness and abuse.

NOT uNNIIxEp EVIL.
Repeal of the Silver Law Booms Gold
Prospecting.

Prospecting.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Advices re-
ceived here from the states and terri
tories which have heretofore been known
principally because of their production
of silver, indicate that the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchasing law may not
prove to be an unmixed evil. Inquiry
made among the senators. members and
delegates representing all these states
and territories develops the fact that in
most of them the miners and prospectors
have begun to exert themselves in the
direction Of a search for gold mines, and
are prosecuting this work with TN
wonted vigor In many instances they
did not wait for the repeal bill to become
a law, but very soon after so many of
the silver mines closed down, as many
did upon the announcement of the de-
monetiZation of silver in India, and also
others after the president had is
sued his call for the extra session,
great many of the men who had been
let out turned their backs upon the
silver camp and began the search for the
more precious metal. That in many in
stances they have been successful, the
mails of senators and members bear
ample testimony. Iii Colorado, Mon
tana, Idaho,. Utah, Arizona and New
Mexico
Several New Gold Camps
have been opened which promise we'll,
and work has also been resumed in
many abandoned placers and in quartz
mines which had been deserted. It is
too early, say these Western representa-
tives, to predict how valuable the new
mines may prove to be, as most of them
are mere prospects. III some instances,
however, the mines are producing and
the local assay Offices begin to show in
creased returns of gold as consequence.
Reports from the mining states and
territories received here through the
same agency as the above, also indicate
that many of the more productive and
easily worked silver mines are
still being operated. In most
of these there has been reduction of
wages, and in some instances the owners
say they can continue. to work if silver
|
will maintain an average price of 70
cents an ounce. Some of the silver pro-
ducers are OF the opinion that this price
will not be maintained, but that it
Will BE Improved Upon,
because of the demand from Asia and
Europe and by the arts and also because
of the falling off in production. They
say, however, that it is only the well de-
veloped and rich silver mines which can
now be worked and that prospecting for
silver and the opening up Of new silver
producing mines will cease, and conse-
quently unless there is a marked inn
provement i'll the price of silver, the pro-
duction of that metal i'll this country
will practically cease when these mines
are exhausted.

for and twenty against the repeal of the

favored repeal and twenty-three were
opposed to it. This includes two Demo-
Gratis paired in favor ofrepeal and three

SHORT ON SILVER.
The Governments Purchases During
July Only 2,3s4,ooo Ounces.


Washington, July 31.-F'or the first
time since the passage of the Sherman
silver law the treasury this month failed
to buy the full quota of 4, 500, 900 ounces Of
silver. The total purchased for the
month was 1884, 900 ounces, being short
age of 2, 10000 ounces. The amount pur-
chased to-day was 900 ounces, at the
counter figure of 70.30 cents per ounce.
Two populist members of congress from
Colorado, Messrs. Pence and Bell, were
at the treasury to-day and had an in
teryiew with Secretary Carlisle and Act
ing Mint Director Preston. They were in
Mr.. Preston's room at the time he re-
jected all offers and made counter offer
of 1880 cents per ounce. Both of them
were much concerned about what they
claimed was an effort of the treasury de-
partment to bear" the price of silver in
the markets of the world The silver

RALLY OF THE SILVER MEN.
Delegates to the Chicago Conference
Pouring in.


Chicago, July 31.-Silverites from the
east, south and west, arrived in the city
to-day. Western men predominated.
They came in regular delegations, in or
ganized bodies, while those from the
south and east were fewer in number and
from scattered sections.
The Colorado delegation was
the first of any size to put
in an appearance, 100 Of them ar
irving at the Palmer house at 8 O'Clock in
the morning, and twice that number ar
irving on the night trains. 1t was the
most representative of all the delegations,
and Gov Waite Is its chairman. He is
quoted as saying: "Our delegation de-
mands an expression in favor OF free
coinage Of silver at a ratio of l 10 16.
That is the ratio and represents the ex-
pense of silver production with a slight
margin of profit to the miner"
Among some of the leading men in dele
cation are Ex-senators Hull and Tabor,
Judge Rising, Ex-Governor Routt.
Ex-senator Reagan, now commissioner
of railroads for Texas, was among the
first arrivals Mt the Grand Pacific this
morning, The ex-senator has not
lost his interest in free silver, which he
once championed in congress, and is
among the most enthusiastic delegates to

early in the day for Mr.. Reagan as per-
manent chairman of the convention,
which assumed some proportions when
Gen. Warner announced that he would
not be candidate for the chairmanship
and that he favored the selection Of MIR.
Reagan.
Among the southern men present in the
city is j. II. Mcdowell, Of Tennessee,
chairman of the Peoples Party commit
tee of the state, and one Of the ablest and
most astute politicians in the south.
The Kansas delegation, numbering sew
eral hundred arrived tonight at the
Great Western Hotel, which is also the
headquarters for the Nebraska and Iowa
delegations
The leaders of the silver movement held
a meeting at ex-senator Thomas M. Pat

Indiana, is chairman of the caucus and it
is his function to issue this call, but he
has not yet arrived in Washington.
WAITING FOR THE CAUCUS.
Uncertainty in regard to the caucus has
somewhat embarrassed state delegations
that have candidates in the field for
House offices, as they desire to have
their formal state caucuses fixed
as nearly as possible preceding
the full democratic caucus. One of
these offices, which has somehow
attracted less attention this year than
heretofore is that of chaplain to the
House. vacated by the election of Chap
lain Milburn to a similar post in the Sen
ate. So far as known there are but two
candidates in the field at this date. They
are Rev. 7. H, Stevenson, assistant pastor
of the Baptist church at Englewood, Ill,
and Kew, DIR. Haddoway, late pastor of
the Mount Vernon Methodist church in
this city.
THE FIGHT FOR DooRKEEPER.
All the candidates for doorkeeper of
the House are now on theground, and the
contest has begun in earnest. Mr. Hurt,
of Tennessee, has opened headquarters at
the Metropolitan, and MIR. Smith, of
Texas, will be here some time this week.
Mr.. Turner will make his headquarters
at his Office in the house, but is likely to
be found at those places where members
are most liable to gather. One thing no
ticeable in this is that all the struggle
participants are confident of the result
and, each is sanguine that VIC
tory win be his lot. The attitude
of Tammany towards Mr.. Turner is so
far an unknown quantity, although it is
claimed by Mr. Turner's friends that that
organization will be for HIM. A promi-
nent New Yorker now in the city said
this afternoon that Mr.. Turner would re-
ceive Is out of the 20 democratic votes in
the delegation. A state caucus will be
held, il was said, Wednesday night. Mr..
Turner is confident and claims the bulk
of the delegations from Georgia and Ala
bama, and all of Virginia and West Vir-
ginia. This claim is made as an offset
to the report that the south is against him
Mr.. Smith, of Texas is equally confident
and believes that ne will be the winning
man. So far as Mr.. Hurt is concerned,
he CLOCKS upon his chances as being as good
as those of any man now in the race.
The fight against Mr.. Yoder, the pres
ent Sergeant-at-arms of the House, is be-
ing conducted with some vigOr, that gen
tleman being compelled to meet assault
from two quarters. He finds an opponent
in his own state, S. F. Johnson, and an
other in the person of ex-Representative
Snow, of Illinois, who has opened
quarters and is showing strength.
How Ohio stands in regard to its two
candidates, is not known, although each
of the two men is claimed to have the
support of majority of the delegation.
1t may happen that in wrangling over the
bone, which it is claimed belongs to Ohio,
it may fall to some other state.
