HIS suCCESsoR.

ST. Louis, Aug. 29.-John A. Snider,
Republican candidate for congress in
the Fourteenth Missouri District, is
registered at Hurts hotel from Jack
son. He came to st. Louis to request
the State Central Committee to send
speakers to his section of the state.
Mr.. Snider is especially anxious to
have Col. John X. Thomas, of Illinois,
address his constituents.
"The chances for Republican sue
cess in my district" said Mr.. Snider
last night, "are very bright indeed.
We are at present represented in con-
gress by a Republican, Hon. N. A.
Motley, and l do not believe the Re-
publican sentiment in the district has
waned any since his election. 1t
strikes me that the free silver heresy
has reached its zenith, and is now re-
ceding, and if such be the case my
election is almost assured. We are
now canvassing the district, and the
results so far are very encouraging
We have three cornered fight in the
fourteenth district. My opponents are
w. ID. Vandiver, the Democratic can
didate, and A. II. Livingston, the NOM
inee of the Populists. 1t bids fair TO
be frhot contest, but think that when
all the votes are counted the Republic
can candidate will be found in the
lead"
Mr.. Snider leaves for home this
morning.

ern states to require earnest and sys-
tematic work to win. In spite of ev-
erything, you may safely predict vic
tory for Mckinley"
Il had an interesting little expert
ence with silver once in Japan" says
Melville T. Landon (Eli Perkins).
''Kamikusa, who was secretary of the
treasury, tool me they had 100000
SOC dollars on hand and wanted to get
on gold basis. He thought that if
America got free coinage without in
ternatioual agreement Japan would
like to send over half of that silver to
be coined into dollars worth 100c. 1
asked him what he would do then and
he replied: Exchange them for
American gold and bring it back to
Japan on a gold basis He had it all
figured out and was in earnest about
it. He could do it under free coinage
too, and that is just what we might
expect to happen if the free silver
craze prevailed"
Tennessee is right in line for sound
money. A letter from William Rule,
who edits the Knoxville journal"
says that in his judgment at least 3d.
600 Democrats in that state will refuse
TO support the Chicago platform. Gen.
Clayton, to whom the letter was adj
dressed, believes this to be a conserva-
that the state will go Republican in
the coming election for governor. The
Democrats are fighting among them
selves and an extra session of the leg
islature has been ordered to meet a
deficit in the treasury. A big increase
in taxation just on the eve of the state
election is likely to throw the prize to
the Republicans, in Mr.. Rules judg-
ment.
W. ]. Cowden, one TO the secreta-
ries of the West Virginia state COM
mitteee, says that campaign work is
well under way there and able speak
ers are busy counteracting the free sill
yer fallacy among the people. "Our
gain from the Democrats is greater
than the best we hoped for" he said.
at will be more than double any pos
sible loss of votes elsewhere. The
people are getting thoroughly aroused
over the financial issue, and we will
undoubtedly make an excellent show
ing.
e. B. Ireland, president of the Nc
Kinley club, TO Hannibal, Mo-, sends
an interesting ''straw" to the Repub-
lican national committee. He says that
a careful poll Of Marion county shows
only eight silver Republicans out of
a total vote of 21,045. The sound
money Democrats outnumber the sill
yer Republicans forty to enc, and at
least % per cent of them are openly
for Mckinley.

DOLLAR IN THE MELTING POT.
From the Concord IN. HI Monitor

From the Concord IN. H.) Monitor.
This comes to us from a reader:
If a dollar be a dollar-honest coin
without deceit-one may melt it,
one may smelt it, but its value won't
retreat.
Melt ten dollars-silver dollars-in I'M
biased melting pot, and the silver
''slug" resulting only sells for five
the lot"
Melt gold dollars-melt an eagle in
aforesaid melting-pot-and the gold
en- slug resulting quickly sells for
ten the lot"
Will you tell mckinley tell mellow
these dollars equal are-if little
glowing furnace put on only one a
scar?
There was never yet equation that
demanded legislation to establish
right to bean equation is equation
else it is fallacyi
And I'm thinking-qhietly thinking
that poor man has poor sense-if
he votes to have dollar-that will
melt to 90 cents.

DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
they admit that there's something wrong
about their arguments and something
wonderful about the Discovery" 1t
isn't miraculous. 1t won't cure every
case but it cures surprisingly large per-
centage of cases even when the patient
is pretty far gone with bad cough, and
bleeding from the lungs, and reduced al
most to shadow. CONSUMPTION is a
blood disease. The lungs want fresh
supply of pure rich blood and plenty of
it that is what the Golden Medical Dis
covery" gives them. 1t is blood-maker.
It gives the blood making functions
power to produce large quantity of the
nourishing red corpuscles which make
healthy iye,giwxg blood. This stops the
wasting; drives out the impurities; heals
the liberation and begins rapid build
ing-up process, of solid, substantial flesh
and vital energy.
/ 1t isn't only consumptives who need
the Discovery" 1t cures every form of
chronic blood-disease and all scrofulous
and eruptive affections.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery had wasted

Step by step, the signs and realities of returning

ALLEGED DISCRETION.
A Sensational Scene at the Grand
Trunk Station.

A Woman Claimed that Her Husband Was
Leaving Her Alone Among Strangers.
There was rather a sensational scene
at the Grand Trunk station yesterday.
just as the train for Lewiston was pull
ing out of the station, woman rushed
in and cried: 'Stop that train ! My
husband is DESERVING his wife and
child"
Patrolmen Morse and Haggett stopped
the train for moment, and found the
man who was said by the woman to be
her husband. Having no warrant for his
arrest they were forced to let him go.
'she told me to go back to the house
and he'd be there in ten minutes. ]
didn't believe he'd keep his word and
50 followed him and he came here. l
suppose he's found a younger and hand
somer woman, but its hard to be left
alone among strangers with no money.
We were married in the South and now
he's left me,' said the poor woman and
she broke down and Dried bitterly. She
declined to give her name, and left the
station in detected and almost despair
ing way.
Two or three days ago she went to the
Grand Trunk with her child and tried
to get passed,to Lewiston, where she said
she hoped to find her husband.
The young man simply refused to go
back to his wife. 1t was said last eve
ming that the woman is almost if not
entirely out of money, aud it seems to
be very piteous case.

Death of Noted Maine Ex-Shipmast-
err.

What Jonesport People Are Doine-The
Lonely Life of Lighthouse Keepers
General Water Front News.
The water front yesterday bore am Pile
evidence of the loss the city and state
sustained In the death Of George 8. Hunt.
All along the water front flags were at
half mast. Not only was this true of the
steamers of the various lines, but many
Of the schnoners in port honored his
memory in the same way.
The steamship Monaghan sailed from
Halifax at O'Clock yesterday morning
for Portland. She brings a good cargo
and So passengers to this point.
The news Of the death of Capt d. S.
Hall Of Jonesport, was received here
yesterday. His sickness had previously
been announced in the PRESS, but he
passed away suddenly at the last. Capt.
Hall was 76 years old and was for many
years noted shipmaster He was a
captain at 90. and for 46 years was al
most constantly at sea. He was in the
ooastwise trade at first, then was In the
West India business in the days Of fast
sailing American ships. and then for
90 years was in the steamboat service,
commanding steamers Of the Interna-
tional and Machias lines. Capt. Hall
retired from the sea about 10 years ago.
John A. Beal Of Jonesport, is In town.
Mr.. Beal is a merchant, and general bust
ness man with large shipping interests.
Jonesport is one Of the most thriving of
the Maine coast towns. OF the 2100 in
habitants of the town, about 1900 live In
the villages. About So vessels are owned
there, nearly 20 of the Jonesport captains
being in the West India trade. About 500
barrels of clam bait will be sent from
there, and on an average about 1000
Holsters are taken from there during
the week, and as the fishermen are SELL
ing them for 81 cents each, they are
making good money. While most Of the
sohooners have been laid mp for the
winter. some have hardly missed a trip.
When the elder Weller felt called upon
to retire from the world, he announced
to Mr.. Pickwick that it was his settled
purpose to keep pike. He couldn't
do that here. but he might keep light
and that would be pretty much the Same
thing. D. G. French, formerly the head
keeper of the libby island light, is In
this city. This light is three miles from
land, and is about as lonely place as
one would wish to find. Mr.. French
was head keeper for ten years, and dur
ing that time II vessels were wrecked
there, but without loss of life. The
government finds the coal, wood and the
like, but the head keeper and his assis-
tants provide their own supplies. The
head keeper is paid $72O year, his first
assistant $3.50, and his second assistant
$3.50. Mr.. French concluded he wanted
"to get out among folks" and so re-
signed few months ago. 2s

DENIED THE MOTION.
For Injunction in the Pinch Handle Case
Judge Webb Rendered His Decision
Immediately.

In the case of the e. 7. Burrowes Com
pany vs.. the Davis Car Shade Company,
was concluded in the United States court
yesterday at p. M, and Judge Webb
Immediately rendered his decision, de-
nying the motion for an injunction to
restrain the Davis Car Shade Conn any
from the use of pinch handles, which
they will continue to manufacture.
The final hearing on the merits, with
the testimony will be had latter.
Yesterday Mr.. Bates concluded his
argument for tie defendant, and Mr..
Bacon made his closing argument for
the plaintiff.
The injunction was asked for on the
ground that e. T. Burrowes had been the
successful contestant in an interference
proceeding before the patent office. This
means that there had been contest be-
tween Burrowes and E. E. Piper, trea-
surer of the Davis Com pany, as to the
right to a patent or the application of
the pinch handle to the hollow curtain
stick device.
The defendant denied that Burrowes
WAS successful in the interference con-
test within the meaning Of the decisions,
because his patent was granted on a
claim which was not involved in the
interference.
The point was also urged Ey the offense
that Burrowes not being manu-
facturer of this device was not:entitled
to temporary injunction and it was
on this ground that the court overruled
the motion.
