Classed in the early part Of tho campaign
with Mr.. Reed as one of the leaders on the
first ballot in the national convention, but
bound to be put aside in time for some

Major Mckinley developed such strength
recently that the other chief candidates be-
came fearful that he would be nominated
on the first ballot. So several dark horses
have been trotted out of their Salisbury

NEW YORK, July 31.-The intense heat
of yesterday was broken about 1 o'clock in
the afternoon by a thunder storm, accom-
panied by a heavy rain and wind. The
memorial arch in Washington square was
struck by lightning and the big marble
blocks, weighing several tons each, which
form the southwestern section of the cap

position. Although none of the masonry
fell, the block struck was moved SIX

through it. Several people had taken

CARLISLE ON SILVER
The Secretary Answers a Query
Anent Insurance Companies,
IN TIE EVENT OF FREE COINAGE

The Government, lie Says, Would Not At
tempt ~ Maintain the Parity of Gold
and silver, Since the Latter Would be
Coined for Private Account.
LITTLE Rock, July 31.-A statement was
widely published by the press u few days
ago that President G.. l.. Greene, of the
Connections Life Insurance company, of
Hartford, had issued a circular letter TO
policy holders notifying them that in the
event that the government adopted the
free coinage of silver the mpa would
be compelled TO pay all claims in depre-
Gated silver coin. Mr.. +. w. Alsop, of
this city, sent a clipping of this statement
TO Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle with
n request for an expression on the subject.
He has received a reply from Mr.. Carlisle,
in part as follows:
In case free coinage Of silver should DO
established in this countryI presumeinsur-
ance companies and all other institutions
would continue to make their payments
by checks and drafts on banks, as hereto
fore. In my opinion the whole volume Of
u currency would sink at once to the
silver basis, and these checks and drafts
would be paid in silver dollars or their
equivalent instead of gold or its equiva-
lent las is now the case.
81 presume no n supposes for "a mo-
ment hat it would be the duty of the gov
eminent to attempt to keep the standard
silver dollar coined free for private indi-
viduals and corporations. equal in value
TO a gold one; or, in other words, that it
would be the duty of the government TO
attempt, under a system of free coinage,
to maintain the parity Of the two metals.
The dollars would be coined on private
account and delivered to private indiyid-
uals and corporations as their own prop
erty, the government having no interest
whatever in them, and being. therefore,
under 10 obligation TO sustain them by
guaranteeing their value.
Under our existing system all silver
dollars are coined on account of the gov
eminent, and are issued by the govern
ment in payment Of its expenditures and
other obligations, and it would be an act
of bad faith therefore to permit them to
deprcciate."

Insanity and Suicide from Heat.

BALTIMORE, July 3l.-A,tragic incident,
resulting in the loss of two lives, occurred
at sea aboard the North German Lloyd
steamship Roland, which arrived here yes
terday. While the Roland was in mid
ocean the heat was intense, augmeuting
the temperature of the stokehole to a point
almost beyond endurance, The flremen
had suffered terribly and there had been
many prostrations. At length one of the
men, Ludwig Triumph, who had been
affected by the heat earlier in the voyage,
suddenly became insane and dashing up
the iron ladder to the deck sprang to the
rail and leaped into the sea. Sebastian
Jurgens, one Of the crew who started to
the rescue, fell overheard while lowering
the lifeboat, and both he and Triumph
were drowned.

this city yesterday afternoon about 4
o'clock, and within the period Of thirty
minutes a mighty torrent of water had
spread desolation along both Farmers
and Fishers runs, in the lower part of this
city. No lives were lost, as there were
persons along the creeks who saw the
water coming down the valley who ran
from house to house warning the people.
Everybody fed, many wading knee deep
in water from their homes to the hills
which line the rum on both side. Two
hundred people are homeless as a result
of the flood. The damage will aggregate
all of 100000.
The water came down the creeks twenty
feet high, sweeping before the flood, barns,
houses, bridges, trees and outbuildings.
The houses that were washed away and
wrecked were owned and occupied by the
families of Mrs. Phillabau, Robert Richie,
William Risden, James Burgess, Andy
