keeping the business world in turmoil such as has never
been known before there indications that the coming

We saw in dingy Democratic paper
that the Republican party intend to do
away with silver. What falsehood.
The Republican party furnished all the
silver dollars there are-5OO, ,OOO, 900 OF
them; made them to pass current as
good as gold and propose to stand by
them and keep them SO. 1t proposes
to keep as much silver sfloat a. gold;
1t has done 90; will do 30. The Repub
lican party is the only friend silver has.
The policy of its adversaries il to
lower it; to detract from i.s worth; to
make it one thing one day and another
the next. and thus make it unreliable
where reliability is demsnded.-Ironton

OLD JOHN DEANS MURDERER.
Lorenzo Barnes, Wood Chopper. Arrested
 for the Crime.

for the Crime.
 Maynard, Mass, Dec. 18.-Lorenzo Barnes, a. wood chopper, about thirty three years of age, was arrested at the residence of Arthur Subway, about a mile out of this village, this afternoon, charged with the murder of John Dean, the aged farmer, who was found lying dead on his kitchen floor last night with his skull crushed and head horribly mangled Barnes, who is married, has lived in this town most of his life, although his parents reside in Marlboro.
 The arrest was made by State De- tective Hammond, assisted by the local authorities, and Barnes was brought to the town lookup, where he was searched. Although Barnes has been out of work for some time, it is said that a con- siderable sum of money was found upon his person.
 It is known that Barnes bought a new pair of rubber boots last night, and it is said that upon the other pair, which ne threw away, blood was found; also that blood was found upon his clothes. He was seen not far from the Dean place about o'clock last eve ming, but his description does not ex- actly tally with that of the man, who was seen passing by MT. Deans neigh bor shortly before o'clock. While the prisoners reputation, is not, perhaps, the very best, still 1t cannot be con- sidered to be absolutely bad. Barnes is said to have been intoxicated when ar- rested. He will probably be taken to Concord in the morning and arraigned in the Middlesex district court.

FATHER AND SON LYNCHED.
Another Son RiddIed With Bullets in a
 KentuckY Jail


 Russellville, Ky, Dec. 1S.-Dink and Arch Proctor, father and son, were talk en from jail at o'clock this morning and hanged to a tree just outside Of the town, and Bill Proctor, another son, was shot and killed in his cell. A mob of 100 men broke into the jail and the jaiIer was forced to give up the cell keys. Bill Proctor swore he would not leave his cell alive, and a volley of pis- tol shots was fred About thirty balls entered his body.
 The mob then took Dink Proctor and his son Arch out of their cells, and the iailer had made an unheeded plea for mercy for the father.
 Arch Proctor killed Aaron and Doc Grafton at Adairville, October 24 Bill and Dink were charged with conspir- ing to have the Craftons killed Their trials were set for to-day.
 Bill Proctor was one of the four who was charged with hanging Ed Traugh- Der about two years ago. He had kill ed several men, and had been tried four times for his life, but always es- capped on trial, and this fact caused the mob to take the law in it's own hands in the present case. Dink had always been quiet fellow, and this was the first time he had been in trouble The general public approve the killing of Bill and Arch, but think that Dink should have been left alone. Great crowds are viewing the dead bodies.

MRS. YOUNG'S TERsION OF TT. She Says She Did Not Wish to Die With
 Yonng Frizzle.

Plymouth, N. H., Dec. 18.--Mrs. Edith Caldon Young, who was shot in both ears last Wednesday by Harry Frizzle, regained consciousness to-day and made a sworn statement before a. jus tice. FriZzle shot Mrs. Young and then attempted to kill himself. He left letter saying in part that "Ede would die rather than leave him, and that they had determined to die together"
 A few hours after the shooting he regained consciousness and said that the shooting was done and the letter was written at Mrs. Young's sugges- tion; that he loved her, and that neith- CT of them desired to live. The story as told by Mrs. Young to-day is entire- ly different and contradicts young Friz- zie in all particulars. She says she de- spised Frizzle and had desired him to leave her boarding house, that she had no idea of killing herself, nor did she plan to have Frizzle shoot her. She did not know he was in the house until, when she was sitting in the sitting room, she heard the door open and Frizzle entered and with an oath threw his arms about her neck from behind and shot her in the ear She says she had heard that FrizZle had bought the revolver less than half an hour before the deed. The attending physician says that there is no more than an even chance of both recovering.

HOUSE MORE CONSERV4TIVE.
General Opinion That the Lower Branch
 Will Reject the Resolution.

Washington, Dec. 18.-The members of the house heard with surprise of the action of the senate foreign relations committee in recognizing the independ- ence of Cuba, and if the opinion of the members of the foreign affairs com- mittee and some of the democratic and republican leaders in the house is to be taken as a. criterion, the house will not sustain the position taken by the sen- ate committee.
 Mr. Hit of Illinois, chairman of the house committee, is out of the city. Several other members of the commit tee were not in their seats to-day, and have presumably left town. Five of those who remain, when interviewed on the subject, strongly opposed any ac- tion at this time. The republicans ob- jected to any step which would, in their opinion, bring about a. war with Spain. on the ground that the Mckinley ad- ministration ought not to be met, the very moment of coming into power, by so serious an international problem. It was thought better that MT. Mckinley should formulate his own Cuban poli- cy, and in this conclusion the demo- crats concurred. Other members felt that it would be iniudicious on the

his motion to appropriate $12,000 for an engine house for the Tenth ward, but the increase of the tax rate avoided the necessity of referring to the Union avenue extension estimate, and MT. Pickett's motion went through, but not without an attempt on the part of the Fair Haven members to get the word Twelfth substituted instead of Tenth, The amendment was lost by a vote of 12 to 9. Councilman Petrie at this june ture renewed his efforts to be recogniz- ed, and at the same time four other
 members tried to get the attention of
 President Dewell, who got out of the dilemma by allowing all the contend ing members to be seated and try once
 more. Councilman Petrie was too quick for his colleagues, and President Dewell awarded him the prize. It was for the purpose of getting the harden ing of Lloyd street properly before the
 board that Councilman Petrie wished
 to be recognized. He asked for S2,000, and the board granted the money Eff teen thousand dollars of the estimate was voted for the purpose of grading and curbing Edgewood avenue, west of Mott street The remaining $3500 of the original estimate-the hardening of Blatchley avenue, $2,O00 being already taken out, was allowed to remain for
 the purpose reported by the finance board.
 The street sprinkling question was still unsettled, and Councilman Pickett
 then made motion to apply $l5,0OO to the street sprinkling account to com-
 plete old contract to June 1, and for the purpose of renewing contracts. The
 motion prevailed.
 The board at this stage of the meet ing began to take some heed of Presi-
 dent Dewell's warning not to exceed the amount of money at it's disposal Each member seemed to be well sat | isfied that he could meet his constit- uents this morning with a conscious
 ness that he had got all the money pos | sible, and then some one moved tc place the balance CD at the disposal oi | the finance board.

After getting within thirty miles of her destination she was struck by heavy gale from the north east, and was unable to make port. when the vessel was run before the gale for Mount Desert. The storm in creased to hurricane force, with thick snow and extreme cold, and the vessel continued to run before the wind for Booth Bay and made Matinicus when the close -raefed mainsail was blown to pieces, and the sea, sweeping the yes sel fore and aft, washed away the boats, galley and every movable thing from the decks.

LIKE f MONSTER FISH.
New Torpedo Boat Plays in the Waters of
 the Sound,

the Sound.
 Providence, Dec. 1S.-A new flyer put out from the Herreshoff docks about noontime to-day, and for an hour or more darted about the waters of lower Narragansett Bay like a monster fish at play. It was the new torpedo boat No. on her first trip out. The trial was entirely informal and no attempts were made to accurately make any speed tests; in fact it was quite evil dent that the propelling machinery was not subjected to high pressure. It was merely a trying experiment for the benefit of the designers and build CTS.
 Observed from shore, the craft made a most favorable impression in regard to speed and seagoing qualities. She appeared to handle readily and quick ly, and even under low pressure attain ed a high rate of speed without caus- ing much water disturbance. All the forenoon steam was up, and the en- zines were turning at full speed.
 At Il 30 o'clock she proceeded out into the bay under her own steam with the designer and some naval officers on board. While she did not got at full speed when she got away from the wharf, she went along at a lively rate. and when off Lappoosesquaw began to speed up and was soon out of sight. The wakes she left astern could be plainly noticed from the shore. The boat returned in an hour, having gone down the bay as far as Gould Island. It is reported that she attained speed of about twenty-two miles an hour.

MT. Dewell is in no sense seeking the office, though his record as presiding officer of the lower body has fully demonstrated, his friends say, the eminent fitness of their candidate
 Those who have had business before the councilmanic board during the past year, have been impressed with the thorough businessIlike methods that have marked all the doings of this body While conducting the work of the board MT Dewell has always main tained a courteous and dignified man. ner toward the members. His friends refer to his record on the floor as a member as we'll as to the success he has made for himself while presiding over the deliberations of the body. MT. Dewell is not seeking the office and when asked regarding his candi- dacy last evening, said that "the office if it came to him, must seek him.
 The three candidates already in the field will find President Dewell g. for midable candidate should his friends insist upon his running, which they assured everyone last evening they would do. The contest which has been g. triangular one between Messrs. Lam- bert, Nicoll and Chillingworth, takes on new zeal now that MT. Dewelps friends have announced his candidacy.

I have been paid for my work, and that is all the interest I had in the movement. Whether the trip is abandoned or not that makes no diff ference to me. I think, in spite of the effort being made by several of the jealous ones who were not invited to go, to down it, that Sanford will have a strong team"
