A Financial BCnut,


The perennial PETER rises with a PROPOSE
lion for the appointment of a commission to
investigate and report on the establishment
of a permanent monetary system. As the
commission is to consist of one national
democrat one silver republican and one
populist they would undoubtedly report a
truly large and varied assortment of none
tary systems.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1O.-Tfis has been
another day of sitting heat, during
which funeral parties passed in a
continuous stream over the cemetery
thoroughfares. The sky was without
a cloud, and the occasional gusts of
south wind swept over the city in
furnace-Hke waves Of heat. The de-
grees of temperature registered by
thermometers bear no relation to the
suffering entailed, as the long siege
has left thousands helpless to with
stand even a moderate degree of heat.
Analysis of death certificates today
and yesterday show that over half
were stricken four or five days ago.
From last midnight to 9 pm, fifteen
deaths were reported within the city
limits. The suburban towns are in a
like situation. The prostrations are so
numerous that only those treated at
the city dispensary and the hospitals
are recorded. These number thirty
four today. The local forecast is for
continued clear weather and lower
temperature tomorrow.

here at $50 p. m. was sent into a. head
end collision with yard engine near
the Sandusky street crossing tonight.
The two engines were completely tele-
scoped and the combination baggage
car and mail car Of the passenger train
was thrown from the track down a.
steep bank and crushed. Charles Vance,
the engineer of the yard engine, was
crushed to death. Charles Cullison, en-
gineer of the passenger train, and his
fireman, William st. Clair, were fatally
injured. None Of the passengers were
injured

GROWING WOR Sc.
Death Roll at Chicago Assuming Eix-

Death Roll at Chicago Assuming Elk
tensive Proportions.
CHICAGO, Aug Discontinued heat
of the most dangerous kind made an
other death roll today larger than its
predecessors of the present spell, and
no hope is extended by the weather
forecaster of a cooler day tomorrow.
Of the deaths reported to the health
and police departments and the cases
taken to the county hospital, forty
three were recorded as having died,
directly or indirectly, from the heat.
Among the serious cases of the
scores who were Frustrated but still
live is that of Very Rev. Prior Aug
ham of London, brother of the English
cardinal, who arrived in Chicago this
morning ON his way east around the
world, by advice of his physician, be-
cause of a dropsical disease. The aged
prelate suffered much from the heat
during the journey from San Francisco
and his condition was SO serious upon
arrival here that the party went to the
Auditorium annex Immediately. His
secretary said he was fearful of the
result.
The temperature kept at 80 and
above from s o'clock this morning, and
ant 1 pm. began climbing into the COS,
reaching 81 late in the afternoon. The
night brought no relief to suffer
ing humanity and in places on the
west side where poverty and death link
hands there was barely life in the
burning, fetid atmosphere.
The number of dead animals report
ed on the stress and alleys last night
was 633, the largest record for any
week in the history of the city. 1t is
estimated that over 1000 carcasses are
lying in the thoroughfares because the
facilities for removal are insufficient.
Half a thousand complaints of this fact
were received at the city hall today.
The postoffice cut off two deliveries
and two collections today on account
of heat.

RESULTED IN BLooDsHED.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Aug. TO-
There was fight at the convention
of the Fourth judicial district here
this evening which resulted in blood
shed. Judge Marcum and Judge
Thomas E. Harvey, a brother of
Coin" Harvey, were aspirants for the
nomination. The judicial committee
appointed Carey Anderson, a Harvey
man, temporary chairman. This made
the Marcum crowd mad and they
rushed to the platform. Anderson was
pitched over the railing into an aisle
and received several fierce blows. The
Harvey faction then took hand in
the fight. The revolver of Sheriff Jen-
kins was wrenched from him and he
was knocked down. Someone struck
Captain j. G. Dickson with steel
knuckles, seriously injuring him. AL
bert Watts was severely cut about the
head and his condition is critical. Many
others were more or less injured.
Both sides held a separate convention
later and there are now two candidates
in the field.
