An Aged Man the Victim Of His Sons
Cruelty.

Greensburg, Pa, Aug. Last night
about II o'clock, Patrick Coyle, an old
gray-haired miner, 20 years of age,
was pounded and chOked to death by
his son, Walter Coyle, aged about "a
years. Old Mrs. Coyle, the mother of
the murderer, was an eye witness 20
the horrible crime, and on her knees
pleaded for the life of her husband, but
was finally compelled to flee.
Young Coyle's wife rcently became
demented and was sent to an asylum
on Friday last, Coyle's aged parents
taking charge of her infant. Young
Coyle came home late Saturday night
and was reproached by his father for
drinking and neglecting his child. The
young man sprang at his father and
choked and beat him to death. The
mother sounded the alarm and "a num-

in which the body lay, and steady
stream of people passed through the
house to view the remains.
The services We're conducted by the

thoroughly in earnest in his determina-
ton to slit the accident to the bottom
and to fix the blame for ii where it
belongs. He said this afternoon that
he expected that the inquest Will con-
sumo two or three days. but that he
will take a month to it if it should be
necessary to a full inquiry.
The most important witnesses will
be called tomorrow. Among these Will
be George Hauser, the signal tower man,
who gave the right of way to the eX-
cursiun train and the danger signal to
the Reading express, and who is now
under bail to answer for his appear
ance; Engineer Greiner, of the excur-
sion train: Fireman Hallihan. of the
Reading train, and Superintendents
Deice and Dayton, of the Reading and
West Jersey railroads.
Coroner Mclaughlin this afternoon
sorted and labelled by name the prop
erty of the killed in the wreck. In the
collection are a dozen watches. some
battered out of all shape, and Others un-
injured, lockets. rings and about $500 in
money. These articles will be returned
to the relatives of the dead upon proper
Identification.
A big accident of any kind nearly al
ways brings out the curious fact that
people are constantly disappearing and
leaving no trace behind them. Since
Thursday the Atlantic City authorities
have received number of inquiries for
missing people, whom their relatives
feared might have gone to Atlantic city
and been killed or hurt in the wreck. In
nearly every case none of the dead and
injured bore the slightest resemblance
to the person sought.

Nebraska City, Neb., Aug 2.-Secre-
tary j. Sterling Morton delivered
political speech here last night before
large and representative audience.
The address was confined entirely to
the financial question and contained
no reference to Mr.. Morton's alleged
candidacy for the presidential nomi-
nation on Il second Democratic ticker.
Secretary Morton declared that the
demonetization Of silver in 1873 was
done after fun discussion. The issue
of deprecated silver money caused the
boarding and taking by foreigners IF
the better gold money. This was th.
cause of the panic in 1893. The creation
of the gold reserve of one hundred mill
lion dollars declared the purpose OF
the government to maintain a gold
standard. IT there was any conspiracy
in 1873 against silver there was a crime
against the Hat boat by the steamboat,
and crime against the steamboat
by the railroad and against the horse
by the trolley ear and bicycle. People
cOnfounded the desire and the demand
for more money. There is no demand
for more money unless you have some
money. The silver dollar is not men
toned IN the act of 1873. but was de-
mun-tized in iS5, and the law did not
harm nor hinder the circulation of sill
