A RELIEF BOARD.

In this city 1t Is proposed to get
around the difficulty in another way
A firemens relief board is to be Or
ganized, consisting of two members
from each fire company in the city, to-
gether with the chief of the fire de-
partment, mayor, city treasurer and
city controller, Claims for relief will
be reported by the members from each
company and after being approved by
the board. will be presented to coun-
ellis for passage, as other fire depart
ment bills are. 1t is thought that this
can be done without encountering any
legal snags.
Next year when the annual appro-
priation ordinance is made up councils
may be asked TO insert a line in the
fire department section of II providing
a disability fund equal to the amount
that will be received from the state.
The firemen are confident that all of
this can be done. City officials are not
SO confident.
Treasurer Boland said yesterday that
the money will have to go into the
general city fund and while he sincere
ly hoped the firemen will be able TO
receive the money he was at a loss to
see way by which It can legally be
done under the opinions on the sub
ject that he has read.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Free Coinage to Re Tested in tho

coinage may not be the battle cry OF
the democrats III 1900. They may
change it to "the enforcement of the
free coinage law When the Bland
bill passed the house the first section
read as follows: "There shall be
coined at the several mints of the
United States silver dollars of the
weight OF 412la grains (troy) of stan
dard silver, as provided in the act of
Jan. IS, 1887, on which shall be de-
vices and superscriptions provided by
said act; which coins, together with
all silver dollars heretofore coined by
the United States of like weight and
fineness shall be a legal tender at their
nominal value for all debts and dues.
public and private, except when other
wise expressly stipulated in the con-
tract.
In the senate this section was
amended by Senator Allison so that
the secretary of the treasury was di
rected to purchase silver bullion suffi-
cient to enable him to coin two million
silver dollars every month, provided
that the silver could be purchased at
less than the coinage value of the
silver used in the dollar.
OF course 10 silver was coined except
that purchased by the government.
Some years ago a man named Mer-
rick carried silver bullion to the Phil
adelphia mint and demanded it's coin
age, claiming that the paragraph
quoted above restored free coinage
The superintendent of the mint re-
fused to coin the silver. A suit was
brought against the secretary and the
superintendent, asking that the court
compel the coinage of the silver
The court refused and the case was an
pealed to the supreme court and fin
ally dismissed
Now the democrats, populists and
silver republicans propose TO make an
other tender of silver and bring an
other suit claiming that the first was
lost by mismanagement, and claim
that they can win on the merits of the
case if prOprelv presented. Senator

MAY WITHDRAW THE
TROOPS.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. 16, 1897
The length of the stay of the military
in the Hazleton mining district will de-
pend on Sheriff Martin.
General Goblin says he stands ready to
withdraw the soldiery if the Sheriff
says so.
A rumor gained currency today that the
Sheriff had concluded to assume the re-
sponsibility of preserving the peace
again. This brought an avalanche of
kilograms from the officials of the coal
companies, advising the Sheriff not to
let the militia go until there was a more
settled feeling in Hazleton and vicinity.
Labor leaders have also appealed to the
Sheriff. They say the presence of the
troops prevents a settlement'of the strike
as the operators take advantage of the
situation. They say the presence of the
militia has tendency to overawe the
men, and every day they remain it is a
point gained for the coal companies.
Sheriff Martin will be governed by what
his legal adviser says. He has great faith
in his attorney The feeling of the latter
in the matter is well known. He thinks
it would be unwise to withdraw the troops
now, as it might lead to further dis
turbances.
Sheriff Martin states he is not afraid to
face the issue.
He says in the absence of the troops he
will do his duty and if law and order is
not upheld it will not be his fault

oATsKILL-sT. JOHNS COLLISION
Three People 1t hs Said Lost Their
Lives in the Accident.

NEW YORK, Sept 16, 1S97.-Confiicting
statements and failures to trace sup
posed survivors lead to the belief at a
late hour today that at least one, if not
three persons, lost their lives in the col
lision last night in the Hudson River be-
tween the steamers Catshill and st.
Johns.
The pilot of the Catskill and the Off
GERS of the steamship line persist in de-
claring that no lives were lost. How
ever the grandfather of little BERTHE Tim
norman, of Leeds, N. Y, called at the
office of the line today and stated that
he had been unable to find any trace of
the boy. Neither George Clark nor Miss
McCree who were in charge of BERTHE
Zimmerman when the collision occurred,
have heard or seen anything of his today
and it is feared that despite the reports
of his rescue, he was drowned.
Mrs. Maria Mcdonald and her daughter,
Mrs. Susan Morris of West Hoboken who
were at first reported missing and then
were said to have been rescued, have not
vet arrived at their homes. Henry Nc
Donald, husband of the former called at
Police Headquarters, and stated that he
had been unable to find any trace of his
wife and aughter He fears that they
were drowned The failure of the sur
vivors to report to the police or at the
steamship offices makes it almost impos-
sible to state definitely the result of the
disaster.
