Mrs. Mary Berger's Funeral Took
Place Yesterday.

The funeral of the late Mrs. Mary
Berger took place yesterday afternoon
from her late residence, 1910 n street,
none but her most intimate friends be-
ing present. The funeral services were
held at st. Francis Church, it being her
which she had Iabored for and served
since its foundation. A crowded church
listened to the Father, who spoke at
some length Of the life and character Of
the deceased, who has lived IN Sacra-
mento many years, having come here
soon after burying her husband in Con-
necticut in 1872. Three sons survive
her, George j., who is located in San
Francisco. and Nicholas and John G.,
who resided with their mother in this
city. She leaves a brother, John Vogel-
gesang Of Burlington, Ia She was also
a sister Of George Vogelgesang and the
late Mrs. A Bergman Of this city. She
was a member of the Altar Society Of
st. Francis Church, and Of the West
ern Star Frauen Verein, and both orders
turned out in body. The flower offer
ing were beautiful, requiring two ex-
press wagons to transfer them to the
cemetery. The pall-bearers were: W.
Cassidy. J. Greisel L. B. Mohr. w. c..

terment took place in the family plot In

A Reply to a Query.

Eds. Record Union: You were
kind enough to publish for me In your
issue Of September 4th an article on
protection and free coinage.
My attention has now been called to
q query respecting the statement in my
article that the monetary value Of the
silver dollar is now 100 cents because
the Government redeens II with gold"
The query purports TO be signed by an
old Farmer" and asks what author
ity | have for that statement, which he
denies until proven
When silver bullion began to decline
in value it became necessary to take
some action TO prevent the monetary
value of our silver dollar from declining
with it's bullion value. The policy
adopted was to freely exchange gold
coin for all silver presented to the
United States Treasury. This was the
policy of both Harrison and Cleveland's
administrations, and l am informed
that it was adopted in pursuance of a
resolution Of Congress declaring that it
is the policy of this Government to
maintain on a parity all It's money,
whether 1t be gold, silver or paper.
Hence any one can take silver coin to
the United States Treasury or to the
Assistant United States Treasury of any
State and obtain gold coin for it. Here
in Sacramento it has for years been the
custom for the banks TO send their sur
plus silver to the Assistant United
States Treasury at San Francisco and
receive in exchange gold coin. Our
banks exchange a great many thousand
dollars each year in this way This pol
icy Of freely redeeming with gold all sill
yer coin which is presented Of course
has the effect Of making it freely ex-
changeable everywhere. The Govern
ment, however, would have to abandon
this policy with free coinage. for with
this policy the sole purpose Of the silver
men would be to have their silver
coined, take 1t to the treasury and re-
ceive gold for 1t.
To establish the truth Of this reply, |
respectfully refer all "doubters" to the
Assistant United States Treasury at
San Francisco, who will probably also,
II requested, furnish statement Of how

THE STOLEN MAIL.
Officers Ash and Fisher Found 1t in
Chinatown Alley.

The mail pouch stolen on Thursday
night from the United States mail
wagon was found yesterday morning by
Officers Ash and Fisher lying in the
alley between I and j, Second and Third
streets, i'll the rear of Chinatown.
There was a long slit cut in the bot
tom of the pouch, but as far as is known
at present none of the letters were
taken. The thieves doubtless intended
to get hold of the pouch of registered
letters, which was also In the. wagon,
but they were disappointed and prob
ably got nothing for their pains and
threw away the sack rather than run
the risk of being discovered with 1t in
their possession.
The wire screen on the wagon In
which the pouches are carried is gem
orally securely locked, but for few
days past has been out of order and has
been secured only with a staple.

KNEW MORGAN IN THE EAST.
One Of the ProprietOrS Of Sells Brothers
Show Speaks.
He Identifies the Dead Bandit On
Being Shown One Of His
Pictures.

The following extract from the san
Francisco Chronicle" would seem 70
settle definitely the matter OF lne
identity of the man who was kuieu ia
the attempted train robbery last Week:
Since the abortivs attempt 70 noio
UP the overland train near sacramento
Saturday night, Captain Lees ana ms
men have been striving to learn Ae
antecedents Of Morgan, the dead roO-
ber.
Yesterday he sent Detectives Gibson
and Wren to interview E. Sells or SeIls
Brothers Circus as Ii was said that ne
had met Morgan In Columbus, -. Wnen
shown the picture of the dead roDDer
Sells positively identified 1t as that OF
doc" Morgan, notorious character.
His statement of how he met Morgan
Is as follows. THE latter part Oh last
February I was in my office in Column
bus, O.. when Morgan came in and
asked me for employment. He said he
would like to travel with the circus
for couple of years, as he was In
trouble and did not want to remain in
Columbus The fellow had a bad face
and as I was satisfied that he was no
good I told him L could not give him
employment After he had left I eau
around the circus.
Several days later he walked into the
cookhouse and ordered breakfast. One
of my men, who is known as Pete, hap
pened to enter, and, seeing Morgan, re-
Quested him to leave. Morgan immedi-
ately attacked him, and If several out
siders had not interposed / am con-
WINGED that he would have killed him.
1--WE are all satisfied that he was the
man who was killed while trying to
hold up the overland train. Morgan had
two chums, who We're known as
Whitley Bliss and Elephant Slim
They were all desperate characters,
their particular graft being strong
arm work. Morgan claimed to be a ma
tive Of Kentucky, and had come to Col
umbus from Roanoke, Liberty County,
w Va He left Columbus about the lat
ter part Of February and have not seen
him since"
Sells describes Bliss as being about
33 years Of age. five feet nine inches in
hight and weighing 160 pounds. He
has light hair, blue eyes and rather high
cheek bones. Bliss claimed to be a
native OF Virginia.
" Elephant Slim is about "a years of
age, five feet four inches in hight, has
black hair and whiskers. He looks
like Spaniard, but is an American"
