indicating that they are becoming aroused
10 their peril, and hereby unite with the
rest Of our brethren throughout the state
I'm their emphatic declaration in favor or
the free and unlimited coinage or both
silver and gold at the ratio Of l6 to l.
That we denounce the demonetization
OF silver I'm 1873 by the Republican party
as an iniouitous alteration Of the money
standard I'm favor of creditors and against
debtors, laborers, Taxpayers, and pro-
ducers, and which, by striking OF one
OF the sources Of supply Of primary
money, is continually increasing the value
OF gold. and so depressing the prices Of
labor. products, and other property as
to render all holdings, except money,
comparatively yalueiess.
We hereby request our delegates 10 the
Staunton convention 10 vote In accordance
with the foregoing resolutions, and 10
support the unit rule.
We endorse and commend the course
Of our Senator, John W. Daniel. and our
Congressman, Peter J. Otey. who have

Ahnnf the Ancients.

The monkey form found i'm 1885 by Du-
bois in Java assumes now a greater I'M
portance, as IL has passed under the OK
animation Of the anthropological insti-
tutes OF Great Britain. and Ireland. While
the European brain has a volume Of 800
to 800 cubic centimetres. and the largest
ape skull heretofore presented had not
more than 500 cubic centimctres. this Java
ape skull has a capacity OF l0O cubic
centimetres. Thus, as Prince hrapotkin
saws. IL stands not exactly half way, but
somewhat nearer TO man. The same m
termediate characteristics appear I'm the
thigh bone, and a closer approach i'm the
teeth to man. Then this ape-tO which
has been given the name Of AnthrpOpithe-
Gus crectus or the erect ape mans the
nearest approach to the class Homindae,
but still very TAR distant from the lowest
type OF actual man. IL may be worthy
Of mention that Nirchow. who at the be-
ginning was d.slnclned TO find any pecu-
liar nearness TO man i'm the Java fossil,
has somewhat changed his mind. At first
the opinion was generally held that the
Dubois find was made up of different OBJ
jects, as the skull Of an ape and the fe-
muir Of something else.
As 10 the origin Of the Dubois ape
Ike form, known to-day as the Anthro-
popithecus erectus, It was found on the
southern slope OF the Kendeng HIS Of
Java, I'm thick layers OF volcanic tUfa and
cay. cemented by the water OF a river.
The Bengawan river had cut a channel
through the beds. which were 100 feet
thick. Supposedly, then. the geological
date was that OF he Pleistocene. In the
immediate neighborhood Of the apelika
form were found the fossil bones Of the
hippopotamus, hyena, deer. and an ant
eater OF gigantic size. The skull was
first exhumed, and later on a mol3r tooth,
and finally a thIgh-bone. II was this
tnigh-bone which was so curious IL was
three times heavier than that OF
man. and out Of proportion 10 the skull.
AnthrOpoloGsts wait for other discove-
ries in Java, so that there may come
about a better appreciation OF the erect
ape man.

LYNCHBURG, VA. May I.-(Spec'al)
At an early hour this morning two more
victims were added TO those who have
met death In Lynchburg from electricity.
The victims were Edmund WOodson and
George Smith doth colored), and the
stable OF the Lynchburg Livery Company,
on Commerce street, was the scene Of the
fearful accident. Electricity, owing to
a severe storm, had been playing mad
pranks during the early hours Of the
morning. and about $3.50 o'clock one OF
the wires in the stable blazed up. Ed
mund Woodson, who was employed by
Conley, Pollard & Co. as a driver, went
into a stall with bucket OF water, and.
It is supposed. touched some bale-wire
which was hanging down from a gas-pipe'
and which was heavily charged with
electricity and was shocked TO death.
THE SECOND DEATH.
George Smith, an old man. employed
as night Waterman, witnessed the death
OF Woodson. and aroused the other
stable hands The wires above were then
blazing. and Smith went upstairs TO
look after the fire. He was heard 10
cry out several times. and he too. was
killed. The fre-alarm was turned in'
and shortly after the arrival Of the
fire department the flames were eNtin-

FREDERICKSBURG FOR GOLD.
A Ringing Declaration on the Cur

FREDERICKSBURG, VA, May 2l.-
CSpecial)-A large meeting of Democrats
at the courthouse tonight resulted in
the choice OF the following delegates 10
the State convention. and the unanimous
adoption of the accompanying declaration,
offered by Senator ". A. Little:
WARD DELEGATES.
Lower Ward-W. H. Hurkamp, T. Nc
Cracker, and w. $. Embrcy.
Upper Ward-J. w. Harris, w. s. White,
and -. 7. Wills; Delegate-at-Large, Hon.
w. \. Little.
THE DECLARATION.
The Democrats Of Fredericksburg, in
mass-meeting assembled, deem IL their
duty to put on record their conviction
that the currency Of the people Of the
United States. I'm the absence Of inter
national agreement should consist OF
gold, silver, and paper, all Of which
should be based on the gold dollar OF the
present weight and hneness as the stand
ard Of value. in order that the purchasing
power Of the dollar. whether paper or
silver paid the wage-earners and the
labOror shall continue TO be equal 10 the
purchasing power OF the gold dollar, and
in order that the uncertainty which is dis
tracing ali business interests may be
QlSpeLtu.
EVILS OF SILVER.
They deplore the proposed new legis-
lation. permitting the free and unlimited
coinage of the silver dollar at a ratio
of IS TO !, because such legislation would
cause silver monometallism and drive the
gold dollar from circulation, and reduce
the purchasing power Of the silver dollar
80 per cent: because the certainty OF
such legislation upon the election OF a
President and Congress committed there
TO would Immediately cause every credl-
tor 10 press his debtor for payment. and
would cause "a part that would destroy
all confidence, and stop all enterprise.
