certain the exact facts relative 10 the

provide that the tax on national bank
circulation be reduced to one-fourth of
percent; that the banks be allowed to
issue currency up to the par value Of their
bonds. and further that banks may be
established with $25 900 capital
He takes this step without comforting
with any OF his associates. but he is con-
fdent that IL will appeal TO the intelli-
gence OF every man who is interested i'm
simple, but thoroughly practical, i'm
provement in our banking system. His
plan does not attempt TO draw the line
between gold and silver, as they are
circulating at par today in spite OF all
that may be said TO the contrary

PECULIAR STORM.

High Wind. an Abundance OF Rain.
Much Snow and Tidal Wave.
Boston. Jan. PA storm OF consider
able severity and attended with rather
exceptional phenomena passed over New
England Sunday. causing heavy rains in
the southern portion, 10 to IL inches OF
cnow In Maihe and New Hampshire,
thunder and lightning In the extreme
northeast. and practically tidal wave
on the coast from Cape Cod to Portland.
While the heavy SHOWS in Maine caused
some delay I'm railroad transportation.
and the severe rains in the south were
responsible for numerous washouts, the
most destructive feature OF the storm
seems 10 have been In the tremendous
tide which swept in from the sea at noon,
inundating a greater portion of the coast
and causing heavy loss to owners of
property along the water front and at
the beaches. At Gloucester the tide. ac-
cording to some records, was the high
est since the memorable storm OF 1861.
and caused an estimated loss 10 property
of over $4,000. Cellars were flooded, and
as the owners Of stores which suffered
were absent scarcely any goods we-e
saved from the water. Fortunately the
easterly wind subsided before noon, for
II II had increased tide of tremendous
proportions would undoubtedly have
caused far greater damage. not only in
Gloucester, but TO the cottages on Cape
Ann. At Hull and along Nantasket
besNh the tide swept up far above the
usual mark, carrying away number of
small houses on the beach, wrecking
verandas of large dwellings, and causing
loss TO the cottages of some hundreds
OF dollars.
What destruction would have been
wrought If northeast gale had been
bowling along the coast at the time can
only be conjectured, but would probably
have made the day as memorable rs that
of April. 1851. when Minot's light was
carried away. Other localities along
shore also reported losses from the tide
OF more or less extent. Several theories
have been advanced as TO this phenomena
of the storm. for while the disturbance
caused severe gales in some portions
within radius of 80 miles of this city.
exceptionally heavy winds were not re-
ported and certainly not on the coast.
The position of the moon undoubtedly
had much to do with the great height OF
the tide. but an easterly blow some dis
tance out at sea, caused by the storm,
probably had swelled the tidal wave TO
something far beyond what has been
Seen here for many years
Reports from Maine and New Hamp-
shire show that the storm was severe
throughout that region. More snow fell

and east into Portland were all more or
less delayed. Another peculiar feature
OF the storm was the electric phenomena
at Eastport and st. John. For half an
hour IL thundered and lightened like an
afternoon in July. but this was followed
by shift OF wind TO the northeast, and
nearly blizzard. The wind at one time
at Eastport reached velocity of 60
miles an hour. Altogether the storm
was rather peculiar and a remarkable
one in New England

WIDOW AS A CONDUCTOR.
Plucky Woman for Whom Trolley Hold
Ups Have No Terror.


Norristown, Pa, January S.-Instead
Of waiting for the opening up of new
fields of employment for women, Mrs.
Agnes Sadie Halle, an ambitious and
industrious widow of forty summers,
is taking the part of a. pioneer in the
effort to devaop one. With that OBJ
ject in view, she came to Norristown
yesterday from her home in Mana
yunk, to file an application with Gen
eral Manager Douglass, OF the Schuyl-
kill Traction Company, for appoint
ment as conductor on trolley car.
She says she can call, Fares, please,
as we'll as a man, and in more per-
suasive tone. and that she can perform
all the other duties of a conductor.
Asked by friend why she did not
apply for a similar position in Mana
vunk, she said she preferred to begin
her proposed new vocation where she
would not come in contact with SO
many acquaintance. Mrs. Halle ac-
ouired smattering knowledge OF the
duties of a conductor from her hus-
hand who filled such a position on
che of the lines in Philadelphia. She
saws she knows she would like the
nosition and believes that outdoor life
would be beneficial to her health.
At last accounts the plucky woman
bod failed to secure an interview with
Manager Douglass, and friends are
irving TO dissuade her from her pur-
nose

cousin were married at Stanhope,
in this county.
After the ceremony about thirty
young men gathered to charivari them.
The newly welded couple did not re-
spond as quickly with refreshments
as it was thought they should, so the
mob commenced to batter in the doors
and break windows. Through one of
the broken windows they threw the
body of polecat into the midst of the
guests.
Eighteen Of the gang were arrested
this morning, but owing to technical
mistake were dismissed. Later in the
day John A. Johnson, Rude Satire,
Gilbert Hanson and liver Hanson were
arrested and Immediately given a trial

preliminary hearing of Carter Shli-
filette was not held to-day. but VIII
take place Monday. Ten more war
rants were sworn out against him to-
day, and his bond was fixed at $lO,OoO.
Being unable to get security for TINS
amount, he was placed in Jail. 1t is
believed that $4,000 worth Of the
stolen orders are in circulation IN
Huntington. Eleven thousand dollars
worth have been paid a second time
by the city. Shiffilette still remains
firm and says he will go to the penl-
tertiary before he will divulge the
names of the parties from whom he
received the stolen orders. 1t seems
to be a matter of gross negligence
that the orders were not stamped
Paid when they were redeemed by
the city. This would have made it
impossible for any one to have de-
ceived the public with them.

A WASHINGTON LYNCH|NG.
"Blaek Eyes Chadwick Hung to the

Prevented the Lynchers From

Colfax, Wash, January S.-Marshal
Chadwick, the suspected murderer of
Young Hayden, near Pennington, the
night of October %, was taken from
the Jail by mob this morning and
hanged to the west wall of the court
house.
Yesterday there was a suspicion that
mob was collecting, but the officers
made no preparations to resist it..
Jallor E. B. Tref, the only officer about
the court house, was awakened about
2 O'Clock and Informed that an officer
wanted a prisoner locked up. He
dressed and came out and was con-
fronted by masked men with drawn
reviewers. Treff was informed tia.
the mob wanted to hang Marshal
(Black Eye Chadwick and Dakota
Slim" Mcdonald, and ordered him to
give UP the Jail keys. The officer was
taken to the sheriffs office. got the
keys and gave them to his captors.
Twelve of the mob then entered the
jail, taking Treff with them. At first
the mob went into the women's wing,
where Dakota Slim" was confined
Slim" protested innocence, and said:
Take Black Eye who admits his
guilt, and if he duplicates me, | will
60"
The mob thought this fair propo-
sition and went into the east wing Of
the Jail, where BLACK Eyes cell was
located. He had only time to say,
Don't hurt me. Before God, am in
nocent," when one of the mob struck
him heavy blow over the head with
an iron bar, stunning him. A rope
was then
FASTENED AROUND HIS NECK
and he was dragged out of the Jail
and up the narrow stairs to the SUI
perior Court room to a double win
dow, where the rope was tied around
a SIduQdIU DctNSSn Tue WluuOWS D.
"Black Eyes" body was then pitched
out head-foremost and left dangling at
the end of an eight-foot rope against
the court house wall in plain view Of
the people on Main street. While this
was being done a part of the mob re-
turned to Dakota Sims" cell. Dur
ing their absence the prisoner had
stuffed the key-hole of the cell door
with rags and fastened a sharp knife
on the end of a broom-stick. With
this he kept jabbing through the bar
red door of his cell, thus preventing
any one from approaching the door to
pick the rags out of the key-hole.
His cell had two doors, the inner one
being of solid steel, and behind this
he protected himself Finally one of
the mob, catching glimpse at
"Slim's" shoulder, fired shot at him.
The bullet passed through the stove,
struck the wall and rebounded strik-
irg him on the breast. He fell to the
floor, exclaiming: "My God, they have
killed me-"
Another shot was fired at him.
Finally they decided that "Slim" was
dead and left him. His wounds, how
ever, are not serious.
