trIct Court Critically Ill.
PORTLAND Orr, March %. - Judge
Matthew P. Deadly of the United States
District Court of Oregon is critically i'll,
and there is very small hope of his re-
covery. He has been in failing health
for several years, but until two weeks
ago he has been able to attend to his
duties on the bench. About two weeks
ago he was taken seriously i'll, and has
not left his room since. Yesterday he
began sinking, and all last night re-
mained in comatose condition. He re-
covered sufficiently this morning to
recognize his wife and sons, but most of
the time he is unconscious. He appears
to suffer no acute pain, and his condition
is due to general breaking down of the
system, caused by forty years. continuous
service on the bench. At P. NJ. there
was no change in his condition.

Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.

GRIDLEY, March 22.-Maddened by
jealousy and wounded vanity j. J. Ervers
early this morning secreted himself in
the rear of the house of Mrs. Christina
Oustett with the intention of putting an
end to her existence and then terminating
his own career.
1t is evident that Ervers had taken up
his station an hour before dawn, as it is
known that he left his lodgings long be-
fore daybreak.
The unsuspectiug woman about 6
o'clock this morning stepped from her
kitchen door to go to the woodshed, with
the intention of securing fuel for the
morning fire. AS she entered the little
building, Ervers emerged from his place
of concealment, followed her into the shed
with a revolver in his hand and fired.
His aim was unsteady, for the bullet flew
past her head and lodged in the wall be-
yond. a
The frenzied man then clutched the
frightened woman by the throat, bore her
to the ground, and seizing a large ham
mer fiendishly began beating out her
brains. The first blow fractured her
skull and few more strokes beat in the
side of her head.
After gazing on the unconscious woman
for moment, and believing her to be
dead, Ervers placed the revolver in his
mouth and sent bullet crashing through
his brain. The ball came out through
the top of his head. He died instantly.
The shots attracted the attention of
neighbors. who dragged out the woman
and the body of her murderer.
Mrs. Onstett was still breathing, but it
was seen that there was little chance OF
her recovery. She is liable to die at any
moment.
Ervers and Mrs. Onstett were engaged
to be married, but for some reason she
dismissed him.
She was divorced woman with four
sons and one daughter.

THE GOLD FAMINE.
The Bankers Refuse tho Proposition of
SecrotnrY of the TrensmrY Cnrllsle.

The Bankers Refuse tho Proposition of
Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle.
New York, April 25.-To.day was
considered an "of day" by the sub.
treasury officials in this city as no gold
was engaged for export and there was
less fuss and furry observable. Briefly
stated, the construction put upon Mr..
Carlisle's proposition to tho New
York bankers yesterday is under
stood to have been this: lie
wished to know whether they would
lend tho government S50,000,000
in gold for one year from May !, the
loan to be secured by ten year govern
ment 5 per cent bonds, to be issued at
1l74, which would be equivalent to q 8
per cent bond.
The terms OF this proposition were
that the bonds were to be placed in
trust with the secretary OF the treasury,
and Us the banks turned in gold certiti.
Gates to be issued to them therefor.
At the end Of the year the government
was to have the option OF paying oil the
loan in gold with per cent interest.
II tho government could not pay the
loan in gold at the end OF the year,
then the banks were to surrender their
certificates and take the amount OF
bonds to which they were entitled at
l17!.
Tho answer OF tho bankers to the
proposition was that their gold was
held in their reserve, required by law,
and that il surrendered for bonds which
were not current money it would have
TO be replaced in other money, which
would mean that they would have to
call in loans to an equal amount. The
result would BIO very stringent money,
and perhaps panic.
What the bankers arc willing to do,
although they have not made the direct
offer, is this: They will turn over
S50,000,0O0 in gold to the treasury de-
partment il it will ISSUE in exchange
certificates or notes bearing % per cent
interest, which can DO counted in the
reserve, and be used in settlement OF
balances at the clearing house the
same as money, and which will be re.
ceived for balances due to tho sub.
treasury and DO reissued in exchange
for greenbacks or legal tender notes.
Tho certificates could DO tho same as tho
old clearing house certificates issued
against collateral, which in this in.
stance would DO gold.
