NEW YORK, May President Coffin 3
annual report to the stockholders ot the
General Electric company. to be formally
presented at the annual meeting ut Sche-
nectady May 14th. has just been issued.

the statements of persons directly inter-
ested in the Northwest company. your
claim as a creditor OF that company now
proves to be without value; and certai in
other interests inherited by your company
are also valueless. The aggregate loss
from these sources is about $945, 600 (viz
$456, 494 on the account owned and about
$4S9. 600 on other items) and this sum is

DONE BY TRAMPS
Chicago and Alton Officials Deny the Alleged

CHICAGO, May 2.-Officials of the

of the road think they have the murderer
of Holmes in the man caught leaving the

train got under way when two tramps

GEORGE GOULD'S NEMESIS
The Story Told In Suit Against the Million


aire
NEW YORK, May 2.-The declaration
in the suit of Mrs.Zela Nicolaus Ruhman
against George Gould. filed with County
Clerk Fisher in Hudson county cour
house. Jersey City. sets forth that George
Gould obtained by trick and device from
plaintiff certificate fer $4,000, which
Gould had given her to satisfy just
claim she had against him.
Notice of this action and a copy of the
declaration were served on Mr.. Gould
yesterday just as he was about to sail on
the steamer NewsYork, by Peter Bentley,
a clerk employed by Lawyer Simpson Of
Jersey City. Clerk Bentley visited Mr..
Gould's Office. but was unable to see him.
Then Bentley hurried to the steamer New
York, as he knew Mr.. Gould and his
family had engaged state rooms and
would sail on that steamship.
Clerk Bentley waited in corner OF the
saloon until he saw Mr.. Gould pass hur
riediy to his stateroom. Several friends
were chatting with Gould when Clerk
Bentley attempted to enter the state
room. He says an effort was made to
close the door, but that, as Mr.. Gould ad-
vinced toward the door. he laid the pa
pers on his hand and informed him that
he bad thirty days in which to file an
answer.
The plaintiff is now living in New Jer-
sey and will claim residence in that state
when the suit is tried. Her lawyer says
the suit will be vigorously prosecuted.

of the money which it sanctions and ac-
! cepts no alchemist and believes in no

| the centuries stood defiant against the

principle that value knows it's own

ally worth and not for what the legal
stamp represents them to be worth. The
commercial world has with unvarying
precision drawn the true distinction
which exists between true value in
nations currency and the sign affixed
to it, and standing upon that line of
demalcation it has been as indifferent
to the laws Of great nations as of small.
Those who represent in this splendid
city the interests of commerce cannot
afford to be unmindful of the condition
which confronts them. If the standard
of value upon which all commercial trans
actions are based is made uncertain by
any experimental legislation, if capital
becomes alarmed and credit once more
restricted, the magn ifcent temple which
has been here dedicated to the use OF
commerce will be of little avail, for there
is no commerce where faith is wanting in
country's medium of exchange and
trade reduced to mere betting. The ques-
ton to which the friends of the mainte-
nance of medium of exchange of un-
questioned and unquestionable value
must address themselves is not how to
temporarily defeat the advocates of free
coinage of silver as they now present it,
but how to permanently secure the coun-
try against the danger which would follow
from crystallizing into law any monetary
suggestion which is based in whole or in
part upon the doctrine of fatism. Such
result cannot be attained by either
scoffing at their leaders or underestimate
ing the sources OF strength Of those who
range themselves under their banners. As
long as they have the enthusiasm which
springs from the belief in their lessening
the woes of the debt-burdened classes to
urge them to effort and the encourage
ment of the timorous in the ranks
of those who oppose them, they will
continue an active force in monetary
agitation and an element in American

sturdy opposition. The forces of fiat sill
yer currency. of irredee.nable paper and
their Populist allies can be perma-
nently eradicated as factors worthy of
consideration and sources Of discomfort
and financial loss in but one way, and
that lies through the gateway of sound
monetary education. To this work the
individual and the nations goods de-
mand that in season and out there be
such labor performed as shall at no dis
tant day result IN their being beaten
squarely upon the issues for which they
stand and the country did after the disas
ters attendant upon their hope of ultimate
success.
