POPULIsTS PROTEST.
They Claim That Treasury Officers Are
Trying to Bear the Price of Silver

They Claim That Treasury Officers Are
Trying to Bear the Price of Silver.
WASHINGTON. July 3l.-Fo. the first
time since the passage of the Sherman
silver law the Treasury this month
failed to buy the full quota of $500, 600
ounces OF silver. The total purchase
this month was 2,3S4, 600 ounces, leaving
shortage OF 2,1l6, 900 ounces. Amount
purchased to day was 2I6,O 900 ounces at
counter figure OF 1000 per ounce. The
two Populist members OF Congress from
Colorado, Pence and Bell, were at the
Treasury to day and had an interview
with Secretary Carlisle and Acting
Mint Director Preston. They were in
Preston's town at the time he rejected
all offers and made counter offer of
.7030 cents per ounce. Both of them
were much concerned about what they
claimed was an effort of the Treasury
Department to "bear" the price of silver
in the markets of the world.
The silver men Indicate a purpose to
precipitate silver discussion on the first
working day of the. extra session of
Congress by a resolution of inquiry as to
whether or not the Secretary of the
Treasury has not exceeded his authority
in refusing to purchase 800, 600 ounces
CT silver in July as provided by the
Sherman law

ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Douglass lowry Arrested For a
Criminal Assault.

Moses Ferguson, who resides in West
Roanoke, came to Justice GregorY's
Office in the Terry building late yesrer-
day afternoon and surrendered himself
to the justice, saying that he had yes
terday afternoon caught Douglass
Lowry in the act OF com mitting GRIM
inal outrage upon his wife, Mrs. Allie
Ferguson, and had shot him, ut he did
not know how seriously. Justice Greg
DRY issued a warrant upon Ferguson's
complaint, charging Lowry with rape,
and he was found on Railroad avenue
and arrested and placed in jail.
Ferguson's statement is that he and
Lowry went from town to Norw oh to-
gether at noon, and went to Fergus ,n's
house. After dinner they both left, and
Ferguson took his gun and went along
the river to shoot ground hogs. After
some time he returned home, and when
he got near the house he heard his wife
scream. He ran in as hurriedlY as
possible, and found Lowry in the act Of
committing the outrage. He tried to
shoot the destroyer Of his home, but, in
his excitement, he forgot to cock the
gun. Lowry ran from the room followed
by the angry husband, who succeeded
in shooting the gun in the yard, the
shot being sprinkled in Lowry's legs,
arms and shoulder. The two men we're
not over ten PAGES apart when the
shooting was done.
A reporter went to the Ferguson home
last night and found the woman in bed
apparently in serious condition and
claiming to be suffering from nervous
prostration. Her story is that Lowry
khn o. -.
she had laundried Tor him and when she
turned to get them he seized her and
threw her on tho bed in the room. She
claims to have been SO shocked and
frightened at this that she cannot re-
member anything further and is un-
aware of anything he said or did.
When visited in iAil by 4 reporter for
THE TIMES last night Lowry stated that
the woman had never borne good
character even before her marriage and
that he. had been unduly intimate with
her for over six months; that he had
not intended to wrong her, but she had
shown her affection for him in numerous
ways before he yielded to her advances.
He was caught in i compromising confi-
ton with the woman by her husband,
who shot him.
Lowry had intended to leave the CITY
to-day, and it is thought by some that
this was cleverly concocted schem me to
extort money from him.
Ferguson Is the same young man
whose family was supported by the CITY
last winter, and the assertion was 10 ade
then shat their privation was due to the
fact that he refused to work because he
was jealous of his wife and disliked to
leave home.
The charge against Lowry will be en-
amlned before Justice Gregory this
morning.

THE PLACER MINES.


1t is hardly necessary to say
that the articles which have ap.
peared in The TRIBUNE have at
tracted widespread attention to the
placer gold mines along Snake
river. Hundreds of men are now
actively engaged in sitting the
precious metal from the sands and
new mon are arriving every day.
The profit of the business is shown
by the nuggets Of gold which are
brought into this city. 1t seems
as though some people, and even
a few so-called newspapers have
been inclined to question the
truthfulness of the TR1BUNE's state
incnts with respect to this matter,
but it is found hard gainsay the
evidence of gold nugget. The
metal is in the sands and wherever
water can be had it may be taken
out in paying quantities: The
machines which have been often
mentioned in connection with this
matter will be in operation in a few
days, and we have reliable testi-
mOnv to the effect that they will
prove highly successful. The FIRST
operations will be upon ground
owned by Commissioner Paul and
we are confident that.in . few days
full and glowing reports may be
had. 1t SCENE as though the ques'

countered no great difficulty between this port
and Mount Vernon. She occupied one and one
half hour in making that distance. A
dispatch was received at noon stating
that the craft in interest had passed
Quantico This is the last message which
will probably be received from her till her
destination is reached. The worst point in the
Potomac is SAID to be at Maryland Point. Here
the ice is believed to have the greatest thick
ness and to be gorged. The Norfolk, under
Capt. Geoghegan, will leave at Z O'Clock this
evening. If the Washington should be in need
of assistance the Norfolk will render it. The
officials of the company are hopeful that the ice
embargo is raised.
Capt Entwisle has returned from Baltimore,
where be has been overseeing the renovation Of
the L. V. Arrowsmith. He reports that the
smith ia in splendid health and will resume her
Potomac route soon as the Ice permits.
