Two schools OF naval construction have
come into collision over the designs for
the new gunboats. and the matter has
been referred 20 the secretary OF the navy
for final dissemination. The one school
insists that sail power shah be entirely
discarded in the new vessels. while those
OF the old school believe that the vessels
should De equipped with full sail power
and the steam power kept entirely Tor
emergencies. On the question OF economy
the old school has the best OF the argu-
men.

During President Harrison's term. In

rnand the ''free and unlimited" coinage

United States. Independent, Of all other
nations. This would doubtless result in
the practical decentralization Of gold. and
give the American people an exclusive
silver currency, such as Mexico. South
America. China and other Oriental eoun-
tries possess. The leaders OF the silver
party claim that a free coinage act by
this government alone would cause the
price of silver to advance to si.29 per
ounce the world over. and therefore that
silve- and gold would circulate and re-
main on a parity. They insist that the
characterization OF silver by the United
States and other nations was alone the
cause which produced the fall In the
value OF silver. If this be true. then
the restoration Of silver to It's old place
by the nations which discontinued its
use would restore its value. In seeking

THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

At Stafford Courthouse yesterday
evening in the train robbery case the
prosecution rested its case. Only two
witnesses were introduced, Mr.. George
w. Moss, who proved that the stolen
pouch belonged to the Adams Express
company, and Mr.. White, who linden.
tilted the pouch as the one found in the
woods by Searcey. Here the prosecu-
ton rested, and the defense stated that
they had not expected that the COM
monwealth would finish their evidence
at such an early hour, and. therefore,
their witnesses were not on hand.
They mad, however, only four, q, d
these could be examined in a very
short time to-day, and counsel for the
defense wanted time, at any rate, to
prepare instructions, and so, at four
o'clock, court adjourned. Messrs. W.
q. Merchant, kaufman, Albert B. Bolts
and James P. Corbin will be introduced
to-day as witnesses for Morgan. There
are four other indictments still against
him that will be tried before the case
will be ended.

The LYNCHBURG DEFALCATI0N. -
The defalcation of Teller Hammer, Of
the First National Bank of Lynchburg,
i. the prevailing sensation of the day.
At ten o'clock yesterday morning tie
prisoner was brought from the station
house to the bank and remained closet
ed for five hours with the bank officials
AS the result of an investigation of his
accounts, the officers OF the bank last
night gave out the following statement
An exhaustive examination into the
condition of the First National Bank OF
Lynchburg made by competent COM
mittee of the board of directors dig
closes the fact that the shortage of the
teller in cash amounts to So, S4l GS>
which, it is expected, will be diminish,
ed by his security bond of 5000. Ia
addition to this $4,000, we find in the
teller's possession the checks of sun
dry parties aggregating SS,lS6.7755,
which VIC apprehend are nearly worth
less, though this may be diminished by
some expected payments and securities
This is the worst that it is possible 10
make of the situation, and the soivency
of this institution is not impaired, aud
the assets of the bank show that it still
has large surplus, and it is entitled tc
the confidence of the people"
After the issuing Of this statement
sensation was sprung by the announce
ment that Robert H. Pannill, ticket
agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad. had been arrested and lodged
in Jail as an accomplice of Hammer,
Fannill's checks TO the amount of six
or seven thousand dollars having been
found in the teller's cash draw, and in
cluded in the $S,1S6.13 referred to in
the above statement of the officials,
Other arrests are expected to follow.

DEATH OF JOHN A. ELDER.-Ml

DEATH OF JOHN A. ELDER.-Mr,
John A. Elder, the distinguished artist,
who was stricken down with paralysis
several years ago, died yesterday at
Fredericksburg at his home, where for
long time he had been confined to his
room. He was educated at Dusseldorf,
Germany, under Lentz, and some OF
his most celebrated paintings, "rhe
Battle of the Crater" the bust of "Shy-
lock-" "After Appomattox," from
which the statue in this city is copied,
and portraits of Lee, Jackson, Davis,
Johnston, &C., are owned by General
Mahone and Mr.. Joseph Bryan, of
Richmond. He was former exhibi-
tor at art exhibitions in Germany and
in this country, and won many prizes.
In his particular line he was considered
the peer of any artist in America.
When the civil war came on he joined
the Confederate army and served on
Major Caskie's staff, but was frequently
detailed to make drawings of ordnance
at the War Department. While thus
engaged he drew the sketch of his pic
ture, "The Battle of the Crater" He
enjoyed the warm personal friendship
of Jefferson Davis and the last of his
paintings was portrait of the Presi-
dent of the Confederacy, taken at his
home in Mississippi. While at Mr..
DaYis's he CONTRACTED malaria, which
was followed by stroke of paralysis
about six years ago, from which he
never recovered. His remains were in.
tered in the City Gene cry at Fred
ericksburg this evening.

Fire in the Brooklyn City Hall.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Feb. 26.-Three
alarms we're sent out at 7:45 o'clock
this morning for fire which started in
the apartments of the janitor of the
City Hall. The fremen experienced
great difficulty in getting water on &C
count of frozen hydrants and the
bursting of the hose, and before they
could attack the fire it had spread to
the clock tower and cupola. The
flames encircled the statue of Justice
on top of the tower and made a mag
niicient spectacle. Twenty minutes
later the tower fell with q crash. The
large bell was melted by the intense
heat. At $50 the fire was under con-
troll. No one was injured, though the
family of the janitor Lad narrow
escape from death. The loss is estimat-
ed between $40, 900 and $4,000.

A WARNING TO ALL LovERs.-A
warning to lovers was given at Nc
Keesport, Pa, Saturday by Alderman
McMarlin. Several days ago A.
Delacour, grocer, made infor-
nation against Frank Morrison, a popu'
lar young society gentleman, charging
him with the breaking of rocking
chair. At the hearing it developed
that young Morrison called at the Del
acour residence week or two ago to
see Miss Delacour, pretty little
blonde, and during the evening at
tempted to seat himself on the arms of
an already occupied rocker. The rock.
er could not stand the additional
weight and broke, hence the suit.
Miss Delacour did not think the damage was
sufficiently great for suit, and so testified
before the Alderman. Mr.. Delaeour, how
ever. could not see it in that light and desir-
ed that Morrison be punished. The Alder
man assessed a fine of 81 upon the defendant

The METHODIST CONFERENCE.-THE
fourth quarterly conference of the
NJ. E. Church was held Saturday at
Falls Church, Rev. S. P. Shipman, pre-
siding elder, in the chair. The follow.
ing were elected stewards, viz. Capt
w. Y. Swicco I, I: uc Crossman, ]. NJ.
Thorne, H. A. d. Croker and N. E
Church. Trustees were elected IS fol.
lows; V. E. Kerr, w. II. Ellison, NJ.
E. Church, Isaac Crossman and ]. NJ.
Thorns. The annual conference will
meet at Ronceverte, w. Va, March a.,
and the members of the church in this
vicinity are much interestedin the possi.
BILE changes likely to take place in the
assignment of ministers. The Alexan-
dria charge is anxious to secure Rev.
S. P. ShipmaD, the present presiding
elder at Falls Church. In the event
that Mr.. Shipman is sent to this city it
is probable that Rev. S. A. Ball, now
pastor ofthe church at Falls Church.
will be made presiding elder of that
district, and either w. F. Shepherd, of
Claremont, or Rev. U. S. A. Havenner,
of Manassas, will succeed Mr.. Ball as
pastor, as it is known Rev. Mr.. Ball
will be transferred.
