Woman.
Harrison Handy and Birdie Knight were
in Judge Miller's court today, charged
with having made an effort to kill Mrs.
Cora Handy, the mans wife, by administer
ing dose of 1audanum, and the case was
continued until Saturday. Mrs Handy,
who has been married four years, and is
the mother of two children, is now only
twenty years old. She has been sick for
come time, and Birdie knight, who is
eighteen years old, has been nursing her.
Last evening. after the doctor had pre-
scribed for the patient. Birdie was sent for
the medicine, and it Is alleged that when
on this errand she also purchased some
laudanum. Returning to the house. she
poured cut what the invalid thought was
dose of the doctors medicine and gave it
to her. This dose 1t Is claimed, was laud-
anum.
When it was given to the patient the lat
ter swallowed 1t without any hesitation,
but as soon as The liquid had disappeared
down her throat she detected the taste of
laudanum, and Immediately grabbed the
bottle the nurse held In her hand.
On the label. it is alleged. she saw the
word Poison, and her screams attracted
others about the preuises, who ran for the
doctor When the physician arrived the
woman was unconscious, but by the use of

II was in power. During the years before
the war, when free coinage did exist, the
democratic party did not coin two million
of silver dollars, and yet in the past twen-
ty-five years the republican party has
coined over three hundred million of silver
dollars and issued three hundred million
of silver certificates against silver pur-
chased. There can be no disagreement as
to the enlarged use of silver. There are
few none who are not in favor of this.
The question is, how can 1t best be brought
about? 1t is a question of economics and
not of politics, and as such should have
careful consideration.
We must keep in mind that none OF the
great commercial ratiors of the world, the
nations of intelligence and civilization, are
users of silver alone, and the time is passed
when any one nation can found its Imam
cial system on basis not In accord with
the other great powers. The intercourse OF
nations is becoming 80 interviewer by
means of the telegraph and cable, and SO
changed are the conditions CT trade, that
it would be impossible for any one nation
to adopt a system of currency not in accord
with the other commercial nations of the
world without threatened ruin and disaster
to its commerce and plunging its trade into
chaos. The people Of this country want
more money, but only on one condition, and
that is that 1t be sound and current the

Must Come Ont for Silver to Get the

Representative 10. Abbott of Texas will
leave tomorrow for Ocean City, where he
will spend week with his ten-year-oId
son, who is attending school in the east
He will then go direct to Texas, where he
viii take an active part in the campaign
for silver that has already been inaugural
ed there. Mr.. Abbott is quite we'll satis-
fled with the outlook of his contested cleo
ton case which brought him to Washington
last week.
Il am very anxious to hear from Vice
President Stevenson" said Mr.. Abbott to
a Star reporter today. I'VE have thought
that Mr. Stevenson would come out in posi-
tive terms in favor of free silver. His failure
to do SO up to the present time is causing
a good deal of uncertainty among the DEM
ocratS of Texas.
mir. Stevenson will have my support, and
l firmly believe the support of the entire
Texas delegation in the next national DEM
ocratic convention If he comes out squarely
and unequivocally for the free coinage of
silver, but If he does not see fit to do that,
he will get no support from the Texas dele
cation. l propose writing to Mr.. Stevenson
in day or two and ask him to make some
statement of views regarding silver, so
that l can know what to say in our cam
paign in Texas.
Inc campaign III leXas VIII open at
once. I expect to begin making speeches as
soon as l return to the state, and the cam
paign will be kept up all summer. We will
lose no time in getting to work, and We
are determined to make a fight, and per-
haps of the strongest that has ever
been made in that state on any question
What Texas will demand at the next ma
tional convention will be man who favors
free coinage. Nothing else will do us.
There is no demand in Texas for Cleve-
lard for another term. His name is not

Jerry Simpson Ploughine Corn.

"I received a letter from Jerry Simpson
today" said Mr.. n. A. Dunning to a Star
reporter this afternoon. He tells me he
is ploughing corn now. He has forty acres
planted in corn, and now and then gets
time to make political speech. His health
is improving, but he is rot yet entirely re-
lieved from the troubles that confined him
to his home during the latter part of the
Fifty-third Congress. Mr.. Simpson has
LOCO acres of land In Kansas, down toward
the Indian territory. 1t is as good land as
any about that sec tion, but they are visit
ed by a drouth every three years, which
bears heavily on the farmers. Altogether,
it is not a very encouraging part of the
country, but Jerry is working right ahead
with determination to make the most Of

THEY WILL NOT COMPLY
lexington and Soldiers Home Road Con-
strues the Law.
Overf cad Wires Not to Come Down on
July 4, Although Congress
Has So Ordered. b.!

The lexington and Soldiers Home Rail-
way Company has decided not to comply
with the act of Congress which prohibits
the operation of any street railway within
the limits of the city with overhead wires.
This action, according to a letter received
by the Commissioners today, was taken
after careful consideration by the board
of directors of the railway company. 1t
will be recalled that on the 9Th instant the
Commissioners, in letter to General Man
ager Schoepf, called attention to the law.
Today the following letter was received
from Manager Schoepf in reply thereto:
II am in receipt of your communication
of the 9Th instant, in which you inform me
that under existing legislation the right OF
the lexington and Soldiers Home Rail
way Company to operate its New York
avenue line with overhead wire within the
city limits will cease on the 1st OF july
1895.
I'm reply. I beg to say that this matter
has been the subject of careful considera-
ton by the board Of directors of said COM
pany. The company is confronted with the
following situation: 1t is expressly pro-
hibted by the act of Congress from in
creasing it's bonded Indebtedness without
previous authority from Congress, vet with
out this authority it is impossible for 1t TO
raise sufficient funds to equip the road with
the underground system of electrical pro-
pulsion Necessities of the public demand
that the operation of the road by some
means of rapid transit shall be continued
Under these circumstances, and expressly
disclaimng any intention to disregard any
provision of the act of Congress, 1t seems
to be the plain duty of the company to give
effect to what would undoubtedly have been
the will of Congress had attention been di-
lected to the matter, and to continue to
operate the road until the embarrassing
restriction which now ties the company's
hands can be removed"
