Alive, But Lega lily Dead.

Raleigh, N. c., March 10
William Newcomb, of Green's
boro, thought his brother, H,
Newcomb, of Petersburg, Va, had
been drowned by falling from a
steamer last September on the way
from Baltimore to Norfolk, but the
missing brother has turned up at
Greensboro, and this morning his
son took him home. When his
brother first arrived he looked upon
him as ghost, as he had long since
given up hope of seeing him. His
family were in mourning. The
courts had declared him dead and
$40, 600 life insurance had been
paid. When William Newcomb
got out of the water his mind was
impaired by exposure and the
fright and he wandered from Balti-
more to New York, Chicago and
New Orleans.

onizatiOn scheme, which he had in
view, providing cheap homes in
Georgia for old soldiers The idea
was to buy 100, 0C0'acres ofland fol
the site, and as soon as $500, 900 in
shares were sold to start the colony.
The scheme had the protection of
Gov. Northern, of Ga, and attract
ed great attention among old sol
diers. 1t is now announced here
that over $4,000 members have
been enrolled in the books of the
company, which is to be a sort of
a co operative affair.
The members average about
three shares each, so that up to
date, with shares at $40, about
s450,O0O worth of stock has been
taken. No person is entitled to
more than ten shares. Nebraska
leads in membership. Indiana is
a close second with 1000 members.
The other states which will send
delegates are Illinois, Michigan,
Minnesota and Iowa. None of
the money paid for shares is sent
to the indianapolis office. 1t is all
placed ir the hands of the sub
ireasurers of the SUBJ colonies and
will not be sent here until the time
comes for the purchase Of the land.
1t is said land can be bought for
about $3.50 or So per acre. A saw
mill, planning mill and single mil
will be sent ahead to prepare
houses and building materials.

Two OF a Kind.

The Clarion-Ledger garbles the
folio wing words from handsome
editorial endorsement from the
Memphis Scimitar of Gov. Stones
candidacy for the senate:
"He is known to be opposed to
popuhstic ideas Of finance" By
populistic ideas of finance" the
Scimitar means the free coin age of
silver, which the Democracy of
Mississippi favor, in opposition to
the gold contraction idea of Wall
street and the east.
The Clarion Ledger which,
along with the Chickasaw Messen-
ger, supported. the sub-treasury
candidate for the United States
Senate in 1891 and which favors
the same financial heresy as
Frank Burllitt, in the above para
graph, seeks to scandalize the
Mississippi Democracy. The lat
est party deliverance of the Miss
issippi Democracy is contained in
the platform promulgated by the
convention which met in this city
June S, 1892, to elect delegates to
the Chicago convention and name
an electoral ticket. The platform
then enunciated and which is the
party law OF Mississippi today,
reads as follows:
"There should be kept in con-
slant circulation full and sutli-
cient supply Of money, consisting
Of gold and silver and legal tender
paper currency at par with each
other"
1t may BE- interesting to state
that Burkitt and Henry, zone
of whom was made delegate to
Chicago convention and the other
a presidential elector (the former
having left the party and both of
whom now vie with each other III
Safeguarding the president, to
quote another plank from the same
platform:
"We endorse the Democratic
administration of Grover Cleve-
land which demonstrated the tdel-
ity of the party to its pledges and
the full worthlness of the conf
dencc of the American people"
Cleveland's financial record is
the same now as it was then.
The national convention which
nominated him repudiated a free
silver plank, contained no where
IN this country save in the popu-
lite platform, and delivered itself
as follows:
ave hold to the coinage of both
gold and silver without. discrimi-
mating against either metol, or
;harge for mlntage, BUT.THE DOLLAR
INIT OF COINAGE OF BOTH METALS
MUST BE OF EQUAL INTRINSIC AND
INTERCHANGEABLE VALUE"
This is sensible bimetallism. |
But for Cleveland's adherence to
his platform. which is in effect
he same as the s tate platform
.bove quoted, silver dollars would |
oday be worth only 80 cents and
old would be at a PREMIUM

BOND SYNDICATE.
1t DiSsOlves After DispOsing or
30 Per Cent I the Issue.

New York, Dec. 27.-The Unit
ed States government bond syndi-
cate has dissolved, after disposing
of 35 per cent of the issue. The
remaining IS per cent has been di.
vided among the members. The
new currency plan, it is alleged,
has induced liquidation by holders
of the government bonds, which
has been the cause of the timid
holders disposing OF their bonds,
and which caused the decline be-
low the syndicate price. The now
issue is now quoted at III Ia to
1888.

Assistant Secretary Curtis
Views,

Washington, Dec. 27.-Secreta-
ny Carlisle has nothing to say to-
day in regard to the published
statement to the effect that the
new currency plan, it was thought,
was responsible for the decline of
the price of the new issue of bonds
to point below the syndicate
price.
Assistant Secretary Curtis was of
the opinion tnat the pending cur
Tency bill had little if anything to
do with the matter. The fact that
some CT the small holders had H.
quidatcd their bonds he regarded
as not significant. In many cases
these liaaidations, he Thought,
we're for ..lh.a purpose Of raising
money with which to meet obliga-
tons falling due Jan. /. In Mr..
Curtis opinion there was no sig
nifcance in the reported fact that
the syndicate had sold only 30 per
cent. of their holdings. 1t was his
understanding that many of the
large holders, particularly trust
and insurance companies, had pur-
chased the bonds with a view O
holding them permanently as a Sc
curity or reserve. The bonds witt
accrued interest should now bt
worth approximately $117.515 OF
the basis of the purchase price.
