his views Of currency reform to the mon

from those of other experts and have
been carefully studied by the commits
sion during several sessions. Col. Tren-
holm recommends the fusion of the
greenbacks and Sherman notes into one
form of paper redeemable in gold. He
thinks that these notes should be issued
in denominations of 81, 81 and S5 in or
der that the people may have confidence
in the money in current circulation. He
believes that redemption fund of $780,

ITO, sailor on the fishing schooner Two
Forty OF Gloucester, lying at L. wharf
Went crazy during last night and ran
ainuck with q sharp knife, attacking his
snlpinates and badly wounding then
whlle they were lying in their hunks
uenoarlo was afterwards found dead upon
the floor OF the cabin, his throat cut. The
captain, Antonio f. Silva, says Genoario
was sleeping peacefully in his own bunk
When ne turned in at ten O'Clock last
night. Early this morning Genoario got
out OF his bunk with a fish knife in his
hano and at once attacked four shipmates
who We're in the other hunks. Howard
Spanks and Joseph Key were first at
tackled in the most savage manner by the
crazy man, Spanks being slashed on the
left shoulder and tight foot and Key
having his left arm nearly severed from
his body. Genoario then went into the
CABIN ait and attacked the other sleeping
men, but the injuries inflicted were moi
SO severe. Joseph Hudson was wounded
twice in the right hand, and Frank Gill
was cut on the right side of his neck, his
breast, left foot and twice on the left
hand. The cries of the wounded men and
the noise made by the crazy sailor
| awaked Captain Silva who rushed or
deck and cried for help. Genaorio had
evidently tried to reach Captain Silva,
for the formers body was found in the
captain S cabin.
In response to Captain Silva's call
| Special Officer Nicholas Murphy who
guards the wharf ran to the vessel and
going npon 1t, looked into the cabin. He
saw Genoario's body and Immediately
discharged his revolver i'll the air foul
| times for assistance. The excitement and
| the spectacle III the cabin were too much
| for the officer and he collapsed with what
| afterwards proved to be partial paralysis.
| Several officers who answered the cal
found they had no work to do except tc
send for a physician to attend the
| hospital where their wounds were at
tended to, and tonight, they are all re-
ported to be doing nicely. Officer Murphy
was sent to the Massachusetts, Gen eral
| hospital but it Is not possible yet to state

| Genoario had been acting rather queerly
for several days, but no special attention
| had been given to his condition Hi
body WAS viewed by the medical examiner

two and lived in Gloucester and had [
wife and several children. He is spoken
of there as having been q peaoeable mar
and had never given any evidence of be-

Fayal namber OF years ago and 1t was
said that he had similar attack of in.
