Whist SOME Prominent Mon Think Of the

Ex-Goperuor Grant.-"The pressure will
now be directed solely on the Senate to pass
either the Wilson or Voorhees, bill, and IL will
probably pass the latter, which gives de-
claration in favor Of bimetallism. Last years
production of silver was 152, ,OOO, 600 ounces.
OF this the Sherman law consumed, or took
out of the market, 54,O00,OOO ounces The
9S, ,OOO, 600 ounces outside the Sherman law
were taken for use in the arts, In China, In
dia and silver-using countries. II this de-
mand keeps up and 1t has continued with lit
tie alteration so far this year-and IL the pro-
duction OF silver falls off one.third, which is
more than likely, 1 do not look for much
change in the silver quotation. 1t may drop
for time after the repeal bill passes, but
will swing back again on the commodity basis

is not yet over. The tariff is not settled. The
West and South have been educated to look
for a change In the custom house laws, and
the East will find IT. hard work to stem the
tide of demand for revenue tariff. While
this subject remains unsettled business will
not settle down, manufacturers will buy from

THERE is no doubt that cholera has
been prevailing moro or less in
Europe all summer. In fact, there
are authentic advices from various
European quarters to that effect,
notwithstanding the most persistent
effort, on the part of European .au-
thorities to suppress the facts. 1t is
therefore greatly to the credit OF
rgeon-General Wymsn and Health
Officer Jenkins, who is cooperating
with him. that in spite of continual
immigration from cholera injected
districts the few cases of cholera in
New York are effectually corraled.
That the plague will get foothold
in the metropolis seems now improb-
able and this improbability becomes
more and more apparent rs the sea-

UNNECESSARY SHEDDING OF BLOOD
SERIOUS BATTLE IN PENNsYl-
vANlA.
Ihs Tearing Up Of Car Track CsSsss
Fight In Which Three Men
are Killed.

The tearing up OF the schuylkill Traction
Company's tracks at Gilberton, PennsylvaniA'
on Monday night By the borough offfcinas re-
suited most disastrously. When the company
officials heard Of the movements they q once'
sent force of men to try and effect an
amIcable settlement. When the break in tine
road was reached, President r. E. Jones OF
the Traction company, with Richard Amour
shenandoah, chief Of the ccmpany's police
got oil the car and In few moments had ei--
fected settlement and the tearing up of thci
track was stopped. In the car were anumper
of men taken on at Girardvillc, members OIL
the National Guard, who had with them rihcs
belonging to the company. While the rail-
way officials were engaged in n.conversing with
the borough officers, some OF the crowd
taunted the men on board the car andefieo
out, "Where is the Girardville milltiaF
man named John Briggs Of Girardville

Richard Paifitt, aged 25, spectator. Chief
Amour and President Jones had settled the
trouble and Briggs shot over Amours shoul-
der. This Immediately enraged the people
antt stones were thrown, shots from the car
became general and for . while n most terrific
battle ensued. Chief Amour tried to subduc
the trouble aud while In the act OF stopping
his men was shot in the breast and died the
next day. It is supposed he was shot by one
of his own men. The battle ragged for an
hour or more until the cooler headed people
of Gilbertou prevailed upon the crowd TO dis
perse and the dead aud injured were looked
after.
In addition to Paiftt, William Hughes.
aged 10, an onlooker, was shot and instantly
killed. Richard Connors was shot In the
hand and leg not dangerous. Evan David
shot in the leg, which will have to be ampu-
tated. James Hullihay had his skull frac-
tured by stone arti may die. Briggs, who
started the riot, was shot by u companion ac-
cidentally, and received q scalp wound and
also wounded in his leg. When the trouble
had quieted down Briggs escaped and, run
ming toward Mahoney Plane, hid IN barn,
but wus captured and, together with. Arthur
Wivale, also member OF the militia, was
taken to the Pittsvillc jail.

The people OF this country are not
the only people on earth suffering
from II financial pinch. In Germany,
where the reichstag has but recently
passed an army bill which greatly
enhances the tax burden, the young
emperor is put to his wits end as to
how to raise enough thalers to meet
the increased expense. The long
drouth in the country of the Rhine
has forced even tho importation of
hay. to say nothing OF the necessary
food supplies for man. The kaiser
and tho czar have virtually stopped
commercial exchange between their
respective countries so that big
market for German products Is cut of.

The Senate's refusal to seat Mantle of Mon
taua, which, in effect, excludes all the Sena-
tors appointed by the governors Of the states
after the failure of the legislatures 10 elect,
was a disappointment to the people of Wyom-,
ing. Governor Osborne has affirmed the
report that he would refuse to call special
session of the Wyoming legislature to elect n
senator. The free-coinagc men are already
urging the governor to call the legislature to-
geLber, but it will require a great deal of
pressure to influence him to do so. The gov
eruor says he would not be justified in put
ting the expense on the state, besides be is
fearful that II Republican Senator would be
chosen The Republicans are willing that n
special session should he called, believing
that the special elections, which would have
to be held in several of the counties to fill
vacancies now existing in both branches
would result in Republican majority on joint
ballot and the election Of c7Republcan sena-
tor.
