at No. 40 Bloomfield street, Hoboken,
was driving q horse and wagon on First
street. near Clinton, yesterday afternoon.
Max Kerschell, Al years of age, a butcher,
doing business at No. 559 Clinton street,
was driving in the opposite direction. BY

part Of Kerschell was the cause of the
two wagons smashing together. Ker-

Mundo got down from his truck and was
Immediately struck in the face by Ker-
schell. Mundo was defending himself ad-

policeman took both men to the pelice
station. They both made counter charges
of assault and battery against each other
and both were locked up.
Some witnesses TO the trouble went to
the police station and told the sergeant
at the desk that Mundo was innocent of
the charge of assault and said he simply
acted on the defensive. AS the witnesses

The purpose Of this series of questions

ALL statistical facts are transcribed from

THE MONEY SUPPLY.
Q. What Is The fundamental claim of
the free coinage advocates? A. They
claim that the amount Of money in cir
c~ulation has been decreasing since the
demonetization of silver, and that this
decrease has caused a general fall in
prices.
Q. Is it true that the money supply has
been decreasing? A 1t is not.
O. What are the facts? a. So far as the
United States is concerned there has
been an enormou increase. In 1860 the

they will remain on board until tomor-

headed northwest. She drew II feet

of nearly eight feet below her water
