Felix The firm was one of the oldest and most
firmly established lace importers in this city, anu

about forty-nine years old He was member or

any fthese clubs, as he seldom visited any OF
them He was Of decided domestic tastes, and
spent most of the time, away from business, at
his home in Suflern, where he lived with all the
outward manifestations ST great wealth.
Nothing of his business affairs is known that
would lead him TO contemplate suicide, and no
ticcd that would offer clew to the mystery sur
rounding his death. He had been, up to the
time of his death. in the enjoyment Of his usual
health, and seemed always cheerful and contented.

Warrington. Aug. 10-A proposition was formu-
ltd this evening by the Ant-SIver Committee,
-,ch. IT Is believed, will be acceptable to the
rr.. Coinage Committee. 1t is that the House pro-
..d TO the discussion of bill providing for the
,.oeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman

.m.ndment providing for free coinage Of silver at
!. ratio TO be agreed upon by the silver men, if
that is possible If not, then votes shall be taken
on the different ratios proposed. If free coinage
a, any ratio, be rejected, amendment may be
r.rsd similar TO the Bland bill of 1878. limiting the
,urchase Of bullion and amount of coinage. This
nu,nr. the vote to be taken on the bill as intro.
duced, or unconditional repeal.
In this proposition. the first vote to be
taken will be upon free coinage and the last
upsn the unconditional repeal OF the purchasing
clause. The anti-silver men surrender their de-
uand that the first vote be taken on unconditional
SAoeal and II the silver men accept the PROPOSE

were present. A general discussion of the propo-
.itions submitted by the anti-siver committee was

ratulated themselves that the action taken was
