Track to Cause n smash Up.
 NEW ORLEANS. Dec. "A third it. tempt to wreck one of the electric cars of the New Orleans and Carrollton Rail- road company. on St. Charles avenue line, was made Tuesday night by un- known parties. Shortly after o'clock Watchman Kinsey of the Boylan police force, found a heavy scantling lying across the rails of the track at the cor ner of Valmont street. directly in the path of the Carrollton bound ear which was approaching at very rapid rate. The watchman had scarcely time to stop the car The motorman would hardly have seen the obstruction, as 1t was placed on the track just on the further side of sharp curve and the headlights of the electric cars are not the best in the world. However. 1t is hardly probable that any very great damage would have resulted. The car was loaded with people, but the heavy electrical machinery at the bottom would have prevented it's doing any, thing worse than leaving the rails. The management of the road is puzzled to know who the authors of these attempts to wreck the electric cars are. Chief Clerk Lalard Meyers thinks the wreck CTS are discharged motermen and con- ductors. Another strange part of it is that all the attempts occurred in the same locality. Last week motorman discovered an obstruction at Peters avenue just in time to ostop his car. The other attempted wreck occurred be- tween Bordeaux and Valmont streets.

A reporter, however, found him at his office and questioned him concerning the matter.
 My only information, replied MT. Cade, lis that obtained from the col- umns of the press. Matters of such importance are transacted at of ticial headquarters without the know ledge of subordinate officers. Even if such movement is in contemplation, as 1 very much doubt, no advice of such would be received by me until decis- ion had been reached.
 ''It is probable that without the pas sage of an act authorizing the coinage of the silver purchased under the Sher- man act there will be more danger Of 8 discontinuance of the local mint, for without this immense amount of bull lion to work upon the hints through out the country will have little to do. The subsidiary coinage amounts to a very insignificant sum, scarcely suffiei- ent to keep even this mint employed more than 8 few months. This leads me to believe that the Sherman bullion will be coined, for unless it is two or three of our hints will be useless in- stitutions."
 MT. Cade says he feels assured of re- maining superintendent of the New Orleans mint, and takes little stock in the reports from Washington relative to its discontinuance, in which opinion both Mir. Morgan and Captain Guion agree with him.

THE NEW ORLEANS MINT.
News From Washington to ths Effect
 That It Wn Be cl.sed.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec 7--The Wash ington dispatches relative to the dis continuance of the local mint caused considerable comment, both among the employees and among those interested in political matters.
 The dispatches referred to stated that unless an act should be enacted by con gress authorizing the coinage of the bullion purchased under the sherman act of 1890, also the seigniorage, that the mint would be discontinued, there being no further work for it.
 Superintendent Cade was absent from the city when the dispatches were re- ceived and no information was obtain able fro1rx hipn.rels1;ua tn tha matter
