pied 10y their former idol: II believe
the struggle now going on in this
country and in other countries for
Il single gold standard would, if
Successful, produce widespread dis
aSter III and throughout tire com
mercirl world. The destruction of
silver as money, and establishing
gold as the sole unit of value, must
have IL ruinouS effect on all forms
OF property except those imvcSt-
ments which yield n fixed return
in money. Those would he enor-
m0uSly Enhanced in value and
would gain diSproportiomate and
unfair advantage over every other
species of property. If, Us the
most reliable statistics affirm, there
are nearly $1,000, 900, 900 of coin or
bullion in the world, very equally
divided between gold and silver.
ii is impossible to strike silver out
OF existence as money without re.
suits that will pro- c distressing to
millions and utterly disastrous to
tens of thousands. | believe gold
and silver coin to he the money of
the constitution: indeed, the mon
cy of the American people anterior
to the constitutions, which the great
organic law recognized as quite
independent Of its own existence
No power was conferred on conwess
to declare either metal should not

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 11,-J. A.
Boyer, a well-known contractor OF
lockwood, Tenn, is mourning the de.
parture of his wife. In 1896 Boyer
met BERTHE Smith, the fourteen-year.
old daughter of James Smith, a con-
tractor residing at East End, suburb
of Chattanooga. One day the couple
went out for an airing. Before return
ing home they stopped in at leading
hotel aud were married. A few months
ago the couple went to lockwood,
where Boger obtained work on the
Tennessee Central road. Last Thurs
day Mrs. Boyer disappeared from
home, leaving her young child. The
next day the husband and detective
located her at a house here, and today
Boyer called to take her away. On
his knees, with tears in his eyes, the
husband begged his wife to return.
The girl-wife also cried piteously, but
Indignantly spurned Boger's entrea-
ties. She told the officer that she had
not loved Boger even at the time ol
her marriage; that she had married
him under compulsion, as he was
armed at the time, and she was afraid
to refuse.

Aggregate of the electoral votes,
447 necessary to a choice. 224.
According to these figures the re-
pubicans would have the advantage
at the start If they can carry the
states thus accorded them they would
have to secure fifty-two more electoral
votes. These could be obtained by a
republican victory in the following
states: Previous total l76; Iowa, l3;
Illinois, "a; Indiana, Is. Total, 22SD
Or, il Illinois went democratic on a
combination of democrats and popu'
lists, the same result could be obtained
by carrying Michigan and Kentucky,
as follows: Previous total, 176; Iowa.
l3; Indiana, Is; Michigan, IA; Ken
tucky, Is. Total, 23l.
Even these figures still leave Ten.
n5ssee and Vest Virginia in the
doubtful column, and also omit Wy
oming,' Washington and Oregon. In
the latter state the populists have
shown unexpected strength. There is
probability, according to high demo.
cratic authorities in Virginia, that the
state may go republican by combi
nation of republicans and sound mon
ey democrats, although this assertion
is emphatically controverted.

BURNED AT THE STAKE.
MaSOns Brutally Murdered by Indians In
Mexico,

City of Mexico, June 11.-Rumors
have been current that in the recent
Indian revolt in the mountains in the
State of Oaxaca a systematic attack
was made on Free Masons wherever
found, and that particularly at the
town OF Jsquila the Indians commit
ted awful atrocities, burning promi
nent Masons alive. This has been
denied in the press, but the news has
been confirmed today, and a son Of the
master of the lodge at Jaquila has ar
rived here to solicit aid for the families
of the victims, and will interview
President Diaz, himself being a Ma
son.
The indians on arriving at Jaquila,
asked who were the Masons and got
their names. They then proceeded to
the lodge and gutted it of the archives
and furniture, then destroyed the
building with fire, also reducing the
archives to ashes. Most OF the Masons
in the town sought refuge in the forest
and escaped their infuriated adver,
saries, but four leading Masons we're
caught before they had time to escape
and were bound hand and foot, lied to
stakes and burned alive, amid the
shouts and jeers of the indians. The
names OF the victims are: Octaviono
Jigon, Master of the lodge; Juna
Escomilla, Senior Warden; Carlos A.
Morales, Orator, and Jose Villavicencio,
Treasurer.
The Indians are said TO have been
instig ated by the priests, between
whom and the Masons there is the
bitterest enmity. The Indians seemed
in all their atrocities to have especial
hostility toward telegraph operators
and Masons, and in one instance de.
capitated telegraph operator, saying
tina! telegraph men disseminated false
reports, and had made all the trouble.
The Masons here are to wear mourn
ing for their martyred brethren. The
news has created intense excitement
among the Masonic fraternity.

ing. Last Saturday night, a week ago,
young Edwards and Miss Sessions
went to dance some distance from
their homes and did not return until
4 o'clock Sunday morning, claiming
that they had gotten lost Several
days after this the young lady's moth
er discovered some underclothing,
which she had secreted. Having al.
ready had her suspicion aroused, Mrs.
Sessions began to question her daugh
ter, who then told her story Of that
Saturday nights trip to the dance.
She said that Edwards had offered
her whisky during their ride, but that
she refused to drink, and that he then
gave her some candy which she ate,
and after that did not know anything
more until she reached home. Ed
wards, on the other side, says that
Miss Sessions and he drank freely and
that both OF them being under the
influence of whisky the young lady
readily gave her consent.
Miss Sessions is considered the pref.
tiest giil in Worth county. Edwards
was taken to Macon, the local officers
fearing he would be lynched if kept

Table at u SILVER Wedding,

At a dinner to celebrate a silver
wedding the table was oval in shape
and large enough for twenty-five
guests. The guests found their places
by means of large square cards at each
cover, upon which, beneath the silver
ed monogram of the hostess, the names
were plainly written. The white satin
damask cloth was covered with soft,
silvery fine net, which was not laid
fiat, but arranged in blllowy folds aud
little heaps here and there all over the
table, leaving only margin for plates
and glasses The edge Of the net was
outlined with vine OF smilax and
pink and white sweet peas. In the
centre OF the table was a large silver
bowl filled with sweet peas. At each
side part way down the table were two
silver bowls smaller in size and filled
with the fragrant flower, which had
been the table decoration at the first
wedding. Four antique silver can
delabra were the only other ornaments
on the table. A souvenir of the oc.
casion lay beside each plate in the
form of heartshaped silver bonbon
box, ON the cover of which was en-
graved the monogram OF the bride and
bridegroom of twenty-five years ago.
