the following statement: "A negro man came up to me, took hold of me and as- saulted me and then cut me with knife. My father once owned the negro. He had two pieces of bacon in his hands when he came up.''
 The negro was at once arrested by three neighbo and brought before her. She identified him and her father recognized the knife that he had given the negro few days previous. The knife was bloody. The bacon was found in the negro's house, just the kind of pieces the girl described.
 Unfortunately, while the doctor was dressing her wounds, the child suffered such hemorrage that she died in few minutes.
 Sheriff Doss, not knowing that the negro had been captured, summoned posse and went in search of him. Finding the negro under arrest he resorted to some othciai tactics. With Sheriff Patterson's aid he slipped the crowd and is supposed to have landed the brute in Decatur county jail.
 Had il lot been for this justitiable decep- ton on the part of these TWO officials the English Investigating commission would have had the pleasure of recording another "outrage' on the part of southern people.

THREE MEN HELD
Charged With Being Mixed Up in the Assassination of E. Cooper in
 Tuskaloosa County.

TUSCALOOSA, Sept. 7.-[special. 1-Doe and Joe Bigham and Henry Grammer, neighbors of E. Cooper, who was assassi- mated in this county Friday, have been placed in jail, the former charged with being the perpetrator and the two last named of being accessories of that crime.
 Evidence against Doc Bigham is quite strong. He was seen hastenins from the spot where the crime was committed bear ing gun, which was afterwards exam ined and one barrel found to contain g load of buckshot, while the other had the ap- pearance of having been recently dis charged.
 There is story afioat that Doc Bigham was one of party of men who met secretly some days ago and passed sentence of death on five citizens of this county who had in- cured their enmity, and Doc was dele gated as the one to begin the murderous work. This, it is said, came out at the coroner's inquest, though the coroner, for some reason, has not yet made the evidence public.
 It will require preliminary trial to bring out all the facts in the case. In the meantime 1t is the common belief that other deeds of blood will grow out of the murder of Cooper.

 HE WAS AFTER.
 AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 17.-A telegram from Monterey, Mex, this afternoon says Detective Carr Lucy of this city has been arrested and thrown into prison by Mexi. can officials. Lucy left here on the 18th to try and capture J. B. Suttler, wanted here by the Austin Building and Loan associa- tion, and extradition papers were mailed him from the governors office. The dis patch states that both Lucy and Suttler are in prison, and the governor has wired the Monterey officials for particulars, but up to late hour had not received reply.
 In police circles it is believed that Lucy. who found Suttler in Monterey, discovered that he was about to give him the slip, and, having no papers to warrant his ar- rest, has managed to get up trouble be- tween Suttler and himself for the purpose of having both arrested, thereby holding his man until the proper papers reach him.
 His brother, who is chief of police in this city, takes this view of the matter.

All of yesterday, last night af! this morning crowds of foreigners swarmed aosHt tue vicinity of the bank anxious to find some one apon whom they might wreak their vengeance. Tho default ing bankers disappeared Friday afternoon. The only property of value in the place now is in the hands of a constable, who levied upon it for rent due the owner of the building. It is supposed that the de. faulters are heading for New Orleans, and of course authorities Tn that city have been asked to apprehend the guilty pair. The books of the firm give no information of value to the depositors, whose accounts ran from few dollars to S2000, money left with the firm for exchange 10 families and friends in Italy.

under the act of July IA, 1890, are not retired and cancelled. All such notes are reissusd. Prior to the 1st day of July, 1891, stand ard silver dollars to the amount of $36 ,3lS, 264 were coined from the bullion purchased under that act. The so-called gain or seigniorage arising from this coinage was S6, ,837 sos, which was paid into the treas ury as miscellaneous receipt, leaving S29, 4S0, ,461 to be held as fund to provide for the redemption of the treasury notes, as provided by law.
 At the beginning of the present admnis- tration this sum of S29, ,4e0 461 was still in the treasury, and anuard silver dollars to the amount Of Sl 1897 223 have been coined since that time. Of this last sum, how ever. S520, ,079 was seigniorage, leaving S1, ,077 IA to be held in the treasury. It appears, therefore, that the whole coinage under the act has been S37 ,905, ,3S7, and that the amount to be held ln the treasury for redemption purposes was $50, boy ,o0o. Of this sum S4, 12l GOO bave been used in the redemption of notes and that amount has been retired and cancelled. No treas- ury notes have been redee med in silver unless silver was demanded, the DO icy and practice Of the department having always been to redeem in the kind of money demanded by the holder of a note. The presentation Of the treasury notes for redemption in silver began in August, 1893, when there was a great scarcity of currency of small denomina tions, and there was redeemed during that month $1, ,273, ,267, which is the largest amount that has been presented during any one month. As shown above there were held in the treasury at the beginning of this administration $29 3S0, ,461 in silver coined from the bullion purchased under the act of July 1. 1S90. Notwithstanding the fact that $1 ,597 ,223 has been coined since that time, there are now on hand only $26, 1S9, PA.
