the REAL nueoeaER OWNED w..


PANAMA, July 3.-Vslparaiso mail ad-
vices Just at hand announce the reprieve OF
Capt. Breceno, who lay under sentence Of
death for the killing of Policeman Gonz r.
les during the alleged Balmacedic disturb
ance al Santiago.
Despite the fact that. while ak eye-wit.
nesses swore that they could identify the
accused and his weapon--which he stated
had been thrust into his hand Immediately
before his arrest-the bullet taken from
Gonzales body was too large to fit the re-
volver alleged to have been used and the
authorities did not see any reason to order
a new trial.
Appeals poured in from all parts of the
country, and even from neighboring repub-
lies, but the government remained firm in
its determination to make an example.
At the last moment the real murderer,
who had fled to Argentine, and was watch
ing the course of events, conf lent that
Brezeno could not be executed on the evil
dence, finding that this innocent man WAS
to be sacrificed in his stead on the altar of
political vindicuveness, confessed his own
guilt and surrendered to await eItradi-
ton.
Then, and only then, did the Chillian an-
thorities grant reprieve. Ii is likely that
Breceno will not be executed now. but il
looks as if the intention is to hold him a
prisoner indie finitely on the presumption
that if he did not commit the deed he might
have done so anyway.

COL. INGERSOll ON SILVER.
He Says the Situation is 4 Bankers Panic,
and That is All.

CIScINsAr,, July 2.-Col. Ingersol, who
was in this city yesterday expressed himself
freely on the silver question now agitatina
the country. He said:
This is bankers panic. The bankers
have been predicting panic for years and
have done all they eoull to fulfil their pre-
diction. They tell US that the Sherman Law
mas done all the damage and they point to
the present price of silver as one of the
results of the Sherman law. Certainly sill
yer did not fall in price because the Sher-
man bill made market for 100000
ounces a month.
"You cannot put down prices by buying
Silver has fallen because it was demone-
uzed The value of thing depends some
what upon its ases. and the main use OF
silver has been destroyed. Supposed gold
had been ,iemonetized instead of silver
- lat would gold be WORTH"
Col Ingersoll thinks that a fair ratio be
tween the two metals can easily be estsb
lished by conference between the nations
He is a strong silver man, and gives it as
his opinion that the Sherman bill cannot bt
repealed unless something ia put in its
place, AZ there is not gold enongh in thu
world to do its business, and the present
trouble is due TO a lack of confidence of tbs
people in each other.

as might be determined upon.
i"Whafever 10 done" continued Mr. Crisp,

There are friends of Mr.. Cleveland who

The gentlemen who talk in this way for
Mr.. Cleveland belong to New York state,

They are disposed TO resent the idea that

Moody MsuiIl's Son B'inss 10 Light Sems
Queer Acts.

WooDsvILLE. n. H., July a-When
Winthrop Merrill, son Of the much missed
Moody Merrill Of Boston, came here about
a week ago to inspect the records in the
Grafton county registry Of deeds, he GER
tanly looked upon the pages Of some in
terestiug data, some Of which was news TO

He saw recorded on May 90 this year, n

IN May %. in which his now absent parent
parted with four tracts Of land IN Camp

ton.
The sale, if there was such, was evil
IDENTIFY made on the day on which Moody
Merrill left Boston, and the papers were
passed and sworn to before Winthrop
Merrill. notary public.
The son of the missing man also saw the
record of a deed in which Moody Merrill
conveyed to Mss Cathie Smith, on Jan. II,
1888, four lots Of land, which were
Conveyed to the Grantor
by A. A. Cook on Aug. TO- 1892. This

Of the missing man, the farm which so
many have saId of late was the property of
Moody Merrill.
1t appears by the records that this same
farm came into possession of the same
Moody Merrill in 1865, This latter fact
seems to prove the much asserted claim
that Edgar Merrill has made all along that
he, and not Moody Merrill, owned the
farm on which he was living.
After Winthrop Merrill had surveyed

took him an hour to do that. he asked TO

As the attachments are not recorded in
The Office Of the register Of deeds, his re-
quest could not be granted, bnt he was
,old that he could see the attachments If
lie would call on the town clerk in the
town where the property was held.
This, it seems, he did not do, but. in
tead, went north from Woodsville. some

| c could easily reach Sherbrooke, which is
midway between Montreal and Quebec,
sud the belief here is that he saw his

What his purpose was in endeavoring to
ascertain the holdings Of his father in
