Two Suicides.

Danbury, Conn, January 15.-The
body of Mrs. Albertina Strom, the Wat
erbury woman who escaped from the
Danbury hospital Saturday night while
suffering from melancholia, was found
this morning in Wooster cemetery sus-
pended from tree. She had tied her
bonnet ribbons tightly around her neck
and hanged herself from limb of the
tree. The cemetery is but a short dis
tance from the hospital and it is evident
that the woman wandered in there soon
after she escaped and ended her life. Her
body had been there all day yesterday
and all night while searching parties were
securing the surrounding country for
her.

Bath, January 15.-A visit to the New

Portland Steam Packet Company's new
boat is being constructed, shows that
good progress is being made ON the ma
terial for the craft Treasurer Coon bs
said today that good part of the frame
was already sawed and the keel planed.
The keel will be laid about February 1st.
and the crew of carpenters will then be-
gin work in good earnest
Although intended as a twin sister to
the Portland, an entirely new model was
built containing few very slight changes
Her owners desired the new boat to set
down in the water more than the Port
land" said Mr. Coombs, ''and she is
built with a sharper floor for this rea-
son." Her dimensions are the same, and
the arrangement of cabins, ETC., almost
exactly similar. Fred Rideout made the
model of the new steamer
She will launch next summer, and
about September LIST will go to Portland
to receive her engines, which, as in the
and other well known vessels, will be
furnished by the Portland Company
She is to be finished ready for use March
1st, 1895.
If Sewalrs iron ship launches Febru-
ary 1st, as is the intention, it will be the
third launch of an iron vessel in this

1T WAS A HIPPODRoME.

Jacksonville, January 15.-Harris and
Watkins, the negro pugilis is, met at the
Opera House tonight under articles of
agreement identical with those signed
by Corbett and Mitchell. They were
not interfered with. The meeting was
under the supervision of the chief of DO
lice and the referee was vested with pow
er to stop the mill whenever it
reached point indicating danger to life
and limb. The club people are disap-
pointed that the state authorities took
no action to stop the contest. The
meeting tonight was hippodrome. and
amounted to nothing. The idea of the
club has been to use this as test case,
in the hope of getting decision favora-

Augusta, Janury 15.-Augusta is having
street railroad war which is of doubt
full termination. The mayor declared the
principal street in the city unsafe, and
ordered the street commissioner to fill
the track which was done. The compa-

the company to keep the streets safe for
travel for their entire width. The com

To Discuss a Bond Issue.


Washington, January 15.-The regular
meeting of the Senate committee on
finance tomorrow will discuss the SUBJ
ject of bond issue, and it is not i'm
possible that bill may be reported on
that subject although it cannot be done
without strenuous opposition on the part
OF the silver men of the committee who
will urge that the seignorage growing
out of the purchase of silver bullion
shall first be coined. The proposition
the committee will discuss tomorrow is
for the issue Of short time bonds at low
interest, of denominations so small that
they can be readily taken up by the
people and amounting in the aggregate
to a sum sufficient to make the 500, 600
gold reserve intact and make good the
deficiency that will occur at the end of
the present fiscal year. What this
amount will be the committee cannot
tell. with accuracy, but the impression
is that the amount of bonds to be issued
will approach very nearly to $50, 900, OOO.
The silver men on the committee will
insist that the fifty-five million of
seignorage in the treasury shall be
coined and that the remainder of the
deficiency can be provided for in bond
issue: This plan is understood to be op-
posed by Mr.. Carlisle.
CarlisIe's Plan.
Washington, January 15.-Secretary
Carlisle recommends the passage of a
bill authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue from time to time, as
l he may deem necessary, United States
bonds in denominations of TWENTY-FIVE
dollars and multiples thereof, redeem
albe in coin at thespleasure of the United
States after - years after date, and
bearing interest at rate not exceeding
3 per cent per annum.

TEN. He went on to argue that the
theorY of wages being dependent upon
the law of supply and demand was ex-
ploded. What Democrats said they
needed was an extensive market. They
wanted to go forth into the rest of the

where else by giving up Il market which
they had here. (RepubI applause J
The Republicans on the contrary. believed
In enlarging the markets in different
direction. They did not mean to 90 to
the ends of the earth and struggle with
the cheaper labor of the old world. What
Ihey meant to do was to elevate the maj
Ket OF this country by giving higher
wages to labor. 1t was not the arbitrary
hXatIons of markets. but the growth of
intelligence the growth of desires and
wants on the part of the laboring popu-
lation that forced markets. What was
the direct means of reaching that
position? 1t was by labor unions, by
making manufacturers understand that
they must give higher wages. But there
We're limitations to this as there were to
all human tendencies. There was "a
tremendous struggle going on between
the demand of the public for lower prices
and the demand of workingmen for
higher wages and shorter hours The
Democratic party proposed to bring the
laEorer in contact with a'lower civiliza-
t1on without protection. 1t proposed to
make the struggle absolutely impossible
on the part of the laborer and crush him.
But, thank heaven, Mr.. Reed exclaimed,

praise but undo the laws of the Lord

the Lord of Hosts rather than on the

The following is copy of a cir
eular letter that has been sent by
all leading cotton factors to the
merchants and cotton buyers
throughout the country: "The
cotton trade in this section were
obliged to pay heavy claims the
past season on account of the ex-
cessive bagging used in covering
the bales. The use of extra bag
ging has assumed such proportions
and caused US such loss we will be
forced the present season to dock
all bales 1-16 cents per pound
where covering in excess OF the
customary six yards is used. The
American, English, and Continen-
tai spinners have alike protested
against this over use of bagglng,
and if persisted in, considerable
trouble will doubtless arise. Please
use your efforts with the planters
and ginners to have cotton baled
with only the usual two strips OF
Fix yards, of two pounds to the
yard" The farmers and glnners
throughout this section should
read the above paragraph careful
ly and act accordingly. The local
buyers will have to be governed
by it, and every farmer who uses
more than six yards of bagging on
a bale of cotton will certainly be
the loser.

THE BEGINNING OF THE
END.

At the meeting of Conservatives
in the courthouse on last Satur-
day about sixty were in attendance,
not an outpouring not a mass
meeting, but fairly respectable
crowd, so far as numbers were con-
cerned, and eminently so SO far as
the individuals were concerned.
Among others Gov. Sheppard was
in attendance but declined to be q
delegate.
Mr.. R. A. Cochran was made
chairman, and without any speech
making or high-jinks of any kind,
quietly, decently, and in order, the
following delegates were elected to
90 to Columbia: Thos. W. Calwile,
J. H. Brooks, Mark Toney, Thos. G..
Smith, A. J. Coleman, J. R. Beall,
w. S. Allen, F. A. Townsend, Thos.
Meriwether, H. G.. Wright, Chas.
Hammond. J. H. Watson.
Now, what does all this mean?
What are the motives actuating
these eminently respectable citi-
zens? Do they intend to organize
an opposition party to the Democ-
racy of this State or do they only
intend to perfect and keep up their
own organization within the party
lines and for the fight of 1895?
If the first, they have made a griev-
GUS mistake, if the last, they have
done only what they had a perfect
right to do.
It IS fact that the nomination
