In the Constitutional convention,
Yesterday the whole session was
consumed with the matter OF agree
ing on the limitations to b. put IN to
take care of the formation OF new
counties and to protect the
old counties proposed to be
dismembered. During the morning
after much debate. the convention
fixed The limit Of the area OF all new
counties at 400 square miles, and the
amount o; taxable property to oe m
Guided in any new Or CID county was
fixed at not less than one and one
half million dollars. 1t was also set
tied that no old county's area should
be reduced below 800 square miles.
The method whereby these results
were attained was interesting III the
extreme. Thcae were many votes
and many speeches during the morn
ing session.

Carlisle Shuts Down on Silver
Dollars---The Object.

WAsH1seroN. Oct. % ALI silver
coinage, except that of subsidiary
silver, has been ordered suspended
after November lst next by Secre-
tary Carlisle. In carrying out this
policy, the New Orleans, La, mint
will be practically closed and dis
mantled after that date and its 70
employees iurloughed without pay
A letter containing these instructions
as to discontinuing coinage opera
tions at New Orleans, was mailed to
Superintendent Overtou Cabe on
Monday night
The practical effect Of the action
taken by Secretary Carlisle is to con-
vert ali the silver bullion held by the
government into gold obligations.
Under the parity clause of the Sher-
man act, Secretary Window i,s Octo-
Der, 1891, construed the law to mean
that all Sherman notes issued against
the bullion were redeemable in gold
This construction of the Jaw was
concurred in by his successors, Sec
re:aries Foster and Carlisle, and has
been in practical operation during
the past six years Under it S76,-
l93, ,522 have been redeemed The
coinage of silver bullion into stand
ard silver dollars operates to prevent
Sherman notes being issued upon
them Silver certificates, however,
are issued against the standard silver
dollars and are redeemable only in
silver. Thus from the same base
the silver bullion-the Sherman
notes become gold obligations and
the silver coined into standard silver
dollars and the silver certificates
issued upon them become silver obll-
cations. The suspension Of the
coinage of standard silver dollars,
therefore, leaves the bullion silver
free from any further liability of con-
version into silver obligations The
closing up of the New Orleans mint
leaves only the United States mints
at Philadelphia and San Francisco in
operation At these min:s only gold
and subsidiary silver will hereafter
be coined unless congress should
direct 10 the contrary aud its action
should be approved by the President.
OF the employees in the New
Orleans mint, 80 are women and 40
men Secretary Carlisle for some
time past has been considering the
advisablility of stopping all silver
coinage except that of subsidiary
coi,,-, and since he has been the
l,e..i of the treasury department only
4,sS:a,, s224 standard silver dollars
have been minted. Since July l
last only 80 standard silver dollars
have been coined The coinage of
standard silver dollars during the
past few years has been as follows:
1894 $3,956,0l1
1894 75s
1893. 5.343,O00
1892 $4,000
1891 100000
The total coinage of silver under
all acts amounts to $423,2 3,289, 800
The treasury now holds Of silver
bullion purchase under the SHERMAN
act" 1871 $4,000 fue ounces, the
cost Of which was s124. 08O, 1923; the
coming value of this bullion in silver
dollars is Sl77,964,0on. If this bull
lion were coined int" silver dollars
the profit of the government on its
coinage would be aearly $4,000,
900, which sum could be paid out for
the ordinary expenses of the gov
ernment or against which silver GER
tifcates could be issued

CIRCUIT COURT.


Court met this morning with Asso-
ciate Judges Revell aud Jones on the
bench. The following bushes was trans
acted:
The jury rendered verdict In the case
of John Hance against Walter Booth,
both colored. The suit being for debt
the amount with interest, being 1872 in
all.
The case against Frederick Howard,
charged with forgery and obtaining mon
ey under false pretenses was begun be-
fore the Jury. Howard was acquitted of
former charge. The offense charged
this time is that Howard, who was the
Annapolis representative of the Metro
politon Insurance Company, forged false
agencies, on which he got acommission.
One of the most cruel cases that ever
reached court was tried here today. For
weeks the county has been full of reports
that Georgianna Duval, a young girl in
the employ of Mr.. William Barnes, at
Patu:.ent, in this county, had been Sc
duced and then assaulted and beaten to
death. One report said the assault was
made by the wife and the other by Mr..
Barnes. The grand jury indicted Barnes
and he was tried to-day. The girl was
examined whilst sick by DIR. Dubois,
who found her suffering with pulmo-
nary complaint. A neighbor who had
quarreled with the Barnes family and
the neighbours wife, was the only wit
ness for the State. They swore to indie
cent liberties to the girl 10y Barnes, and
conversations between Barnes and the
girl and kick by Barnes. Barnes and
his wife testified to the contrary, deny
ing every allegation, and, to question
of the court, Mrs. Barnes said she was
not jealous Of the girl and had no cause
to be. The State abandoned the case
and the jury acquitted Barnes without
leaving the box.

taken at this time, and would lay special

achieved by Hoods Sarsaparilla and the
