HIS Replies TO Questions by tho
Monetary Communication.

The monetary commission has received
| from Mr.. Horace White answers to the in
terrogatories addressed by the commission
| to fnanciers and others throughout the
country. In answer to the questions re-
garding the maintenance of the gold stand
ard. Mr.. White says:
Il would recommend the redemption, re-
tirement and cancellation of all legal ten
der notes as a first step. Probably the sill
yer certificates and silver dollars would
thereafter remain at par with gold, like
the outstanding thalers CT Germany, and
| would not be presented for redemption in
like the smaller silver coins for circulation
in retail trade After the retirement or
the legal tender notes We should be able
to see better what to do next"
Mr.. White thinks that for the purpose Of
facilitating the of existing silver cur
rency. the smallest denomination of United
States notes to be put in circulation should
be ten dollars at first; but this should be
made matter of experiment, the object
being to determine the dimensions of the
field of circulation which will absorb the
silver currency. leaving the rest to bank
notes.
In regard to the legal tender notes. Mr..
White favors the gradual but entire with
Grawal Of the treasury notes of 1880, and
of the United States notes, on the ground
that there is no certainty. and can be no
certainty, that the government will always
redeem them in gold. Redemption or nom
redemption is a political issue to be fought
over in elections. and must remain so as
long as this kind OF paper is outstanding.
Mere uncertainty is always a drawback to
business prosperity. Failure of redemption
would be bankruptcy. public and private.
Mr.. White believes that in process OF
time 1t will not be possible to rely upon
national bonds as security for bank note
issues, because of the extinction of the
public debt. - In reply to the question
whether any safe and practicable plan can
be devised for using other securities, he
says that he thinks not. He believes that
ed capital Of the bank should be the limit
of the note issues and that a cash reserve
should be held for the redemption of notes,
the same as now provided by law for de-
posits viz: 25 per cent in reserve cities
aid 10 per cent elsewhere, with the right
to keep three-fifths of said Is per cent -
the reserve cities. There is no difference -
itself is concerned, and 10 reason why the
reserve should be greater or less for the
one than for the other. The reserve should
consist of gold, and should be in the vaults
Of the bank or in a clearing house deposit

Whiteside Coming.

Mr.. Whiteside's forthcoming
engagement will from present
indications be one of the most
successful ones ever played in
this city. In these days when
we are regaled or rather assailed
with so much that is unworthy a
place in the amusement world, it
becomes a pleasure to welcome
to our midst an actor, whose
auditors are never depressed with
the sense of being unworthily
occupied, but who steadily feel
the force of a commanding in
tellect and an intense nature
concentrated on the sincere and
beneficial treatment of momen-
tous themes.
Mr.. Frederick Pauling, who as
many theater goers will remem-
Der, starred with Mazda Cragin
two seasons ago, is with the
Whiteside company this season.

some one entered the front of the
drug store and the doctor went
forward to see what the new GUS
toner wanted. When he return
ed the fakir was gone, and like

DAMAGE Suit Filed.

In the district court Francis
Fields and John Fields, by his
next friend Francis Fields, have
filed suit against the Houston
and Texas Central railroad COM
pany for personal damages
amounting to $4,000. In plain
tiffs' original petition it is alleged
that on June Goth John Fields, a
minor, entered Central passen-
ger train for the purpose of
assisting two women with their
baggage. That before this was
accomplished the train started
and got under such Roadway
that he was afraid to jump off.
While standing on the platform
it is claimed he was pushed off
by the conductor or some other
employee of the company and fell
under the wheels, sustaining
injuries that necessitated the
amputation of one foot. Francis
claims $500 for the loss of the
services of her son for two years
and S100 for doctor bill. John
wants $1,000 for mental anguish
and physical pain and $4,000 for
actual damages in the loss of his
foot.

Death of MI. Fritz Sto1tz.

2 The death of Mr.. Fritz Stoltz
which occurred Friday afternoon
at the residence of his son, Mr..
julius Stoltz, seven miles north
of the city, removes from the
walks of men one of Washington
county's most venerable and
venerated citizens. Mr.. Stoltz
was an octogenarian, and had
been a resident of this immediate
vicinity for more than forty years.
He was born in Germany, but
the BANNER is not informed
as to the place of his nativity or
the exact date of his birth. By
the exercise of industry and the
practice of frugality he accumu-
lated a comfortable competency
and lived to enjoy the fruits Of
his industry decade longer than
the allotted three score and ten
years. His wife preceded him to
the tomb by several years. Sew
eral grown children and host
of staunch friends mourn the loss
of their venerable father, friend
and counselor.

Death of A. 7. McNamara.

Died, on the 10th instant, at
the County Poor Farm, A. J.
Mcnamara, aged 60 years.
Deceased was a member of Co.
E, 9TH Texas Cavalry, Green's
Brigade, and was a courageous
and gallant soldier, participating
in every engagement of that
gallant command during the
entire four years. He was an
Irishman, and was as gay and
fearless in the discharge of duty
as it was possible for mortal man
to be; but like many other good
soldiers who went through that
sanguinary struggle, he came
out broken down in both health
and purse. For several years
he had been a sufferer from
chronic diarrhoea, superinduced
to some extent by a too free in
diligence in the use of alcoholic
stimulants. He had been an
inmate of the County Poor
Farm for the past five months,
where he received kind and
careful attention. Peace to his
ashes.

has been conducting a very

during the past week. On last

audience assembled at the creek
to see fourteen candidates for
baptism immersed. The church

AFTER THE CONSTABLE.
Julius Russi of Burton Wants Heavy
Damages for False Imprisonment.

)
Damages for False Imprisonment.
H. NJ. Bryan, constable of pre-
cinct No. 4, Burton, and his
bondsmen have a full-fledged
damage suit on hand, and have
been cited to appear in the dis
trict court at the September term
and show cause why julius Russi
should not recover damages as
prayed for in a petition filed with
the district clerk Wednesday by
Messrs. J. 3. Matthews and j..
NJ. Mathis, attorneys for the
plaintiff. The bondsmen are A.
S. Whitener, J. M. Craig, T. j.
Await and G. W. Homeyer. The
defendant prays judgment for
$4,000 actual and $500 exemplary
damages, $1,000 of which to be
against Bryan and his bondsmen
and the balance against Bryan
individually, $1,000 being the
amount of the constable's official
bond.
In the petition the plaintiff
makes the usual allegations as to
good character and standing in
his community, and asserts that
on Nov. 26, 1896, the defendant
constable filed an affidavit
against plaintiff before Justice
j. J. Mccain, charging him, the
plaintiff, with the theft of cotton
of value less than $50, from the
said defendant constable; that
when the plaintiff denied his guilt
when being arrested the consta-
BILE struck him over the head with
a six shooter; that the constable
brought him to Brennan and
lodged him in Jail, where he re-
seven days, until released
by order of the county attorney.
The plaintiff claims that the con-
stable acted in the matter through
malice and without reasonable
cause for so doing.

Sin Killer Griffin, who. came
here about two weeks ago pre-
pared to raise the roofs off the
houses of the colored people Of
Austin with his eloquence, folded
his mantle around him yesterday
and quit business. Last night
his camping grounds out on the
dam road were vacant and there
was no Sin Killer. He had ex-
pected to stay all this week and
possibly some of next, but his
meetings have not been as sue-
cessful as he expected. The coll
.ored people of Austin are we'll
educated, and, therefore, are Pc
culiar as compared to colOred
people of other towns in their
tastes, and the Fourth of Julyism
of Sin Killer did not catch them
as he thought it would, hence he
did not play to good houses. For
this reason, doubtless, his meet
ing was cut short, and last night
the few who went out to the dam
found only vacancy awaiting
them.-Austin Statesman.

UNDER THE WHEELS.
The Exchange Hotel Porter's Narrow
ESCAPE

Escape.
If there is anything in the az
ION that "a burnt child breads
the fire" there is very little doubt
that Jesse Vinson, the youthful
hotel runner for the Exchang,
will lose his taste for train
jumping. Very few experts in
this particular line of adventure
have ever survived such an ex-
perence as befel him Friday
morning.
When the Alligator Limited
pulled into the city at the rate of
six or eight miles an hour Jesse
attempted to board the platform
of the front passenger coach with
the intention of riding up to the
station. In attempting to swing
himself up to the steps his hold
slipped and he fell to the ground.
The front truck barely missed
him, and in trying to scramble
back to a place of safety he roll
ed directly across the rail. The
helpless and Mortified spectators
who were watching him expected
to see him dismembered by the
second truck, but in the nick of
time he rolled out just as one of
the wheels grazed his clothing.
1t was close call and one that
Jesse and his companions should
every time they feel
inclined to engage in train jump
ing.
