Are to be Payable in Coin.—London Bankers Enter Into Contract to Take the Issue. Whasbington, D C, Feb 8 —The President to-day sent the following message to congress: To the congress of the United States: eation to congress calling attention to our financial condition aud sug gesting legislation which I essential to our national welfare and credit the anxiety and apprebeusiou then existing in busiuess circles have coutinued. As a precaution, there fore, against the failure of timely legislation snd through congres sional action cautious preparations have been pending to employ it to the best interest if the issue of the same should in the meantime be au- thorized by congress. The arrangemeuts thus completed which, after careful inquiry appears in present circumstauces, and con- sidering all the objects demred, to be attainable, develops such a differ- ence inthe estimation of iuterest between bonds made payable in coin and those specifically payable in gold in favor of the latter as is rep- resented by three fourths of a cent in annual interest. Iu the agree- ment just concluded the aunual saving to the government if 3 per cent gold bonds should be substi- tuted by 4 per cent coin bonds un- der the privilege reserved, would be $539,159, amounting in thirty years or at the maturity of the coin bonds, to $16,174,770. Of course there never should be a doubt in any quarter as to the re demption in gold of the bonds of the government which are made pay able in coin. Therefore, the discrim ination io the judgment of investors between our bond obligations pay able in coin and those specifically made payabie in gold is very signifi cant. It is suggest that whatever may be our views an the subject, the sentiments or preferences of those with whom we must negotiate in disposing of our bonds for gold are not subject to our dictation. Ihave only to add that iu my opivion that transaction here inti- mated for the infcrmation of the congress promises better results than the efforts previously made in the direction of effectively adding to our gold reserve turough the sale of bonds; and I believe it will tend, as far as such action can in present cir cumstances, to meet the determina tion expressed in the law repealing the silver purchase clause of the act of July 14, 1890, and that in the language of such repealing act the arrangement made will aid our ef forts to “insure the maintenance of the parity in value of the coins of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all time in the market and in the payment of debts.” Grover CLEVELAND, Executive mansion, Feb. 8, 1895 EVANS TAKES THE OATH. fle Makes an Attempt to Become Gov- ernor of Tennessee. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 6.—The action of H.C. Evans in takng the oath of office as Governor before Justice of the Peace Morris scon after all the returns had been open- ed by President Pillow in the joint convention of the Legislature created some surprise, though very little, as it was known he intended to have himeelf sworn in, claiming that the joint convention had opened and published the returns according to the requirements of the constitution; that the figures showed he was elected, and that the contest law en- acted at this session is unconstitu- tional.

Suicide of Cashier Rea of Carroll- ton by Shooting. Carrollwou, Mo, february $.—The | community was shocked this morn- ing to learn of the death of S. C. Rea, cashier of the Carrollton Ex-| change bavk. For the past year j}Mr Rea has soffered very much from dyspepsia. Last July he spent {a month iu Colorado and returned |much benefitted For the last few moutus he has suffered from his old troubles and bas been very melan- eholy. This was very noticeable to his friends aud only a few days ago they ivsisted on his taking a short resi. to recuperate, thinking that it would do him good This morning at 7:30, after eating hs breakfast, he prepared to come up town and then went to the wood- shed in his back yard aud shot him- self in the head death resulting in siautly His wife, hearing the shot rushed out and found her husband welteriug in his own blood. Her screams attracted the neighbors to the scene and they assisted in taking the body into the house, but life was extinct. No cause whatever cin be assigned for the deed except tem porary insanity, caused from ill beaith Mr. Rea had no financial troubles whatever avd his family relations were the most pleasant. In fact there is not a home in Carrollton in which there was a happier and more contented family. Mr. Rea has for years been a mewber of the Presbyterian chureb and for several years bas held the p>sition of elder. Although not yet 38 years of age he has held many important positions, having been educated at Washington aud Lee uutversity. He was splendidly equip ped for life’s struggle. He has been | covnected with the Carrollton Ex change bank for the last twenty years and has for four years been cashier of that institution. On Jan uary last he was re-elected for the fifth time. At one time he was elect- ed Councilman for his ward and during his term of service rendered valuable aid to the city in straight ening out her tangled financial af- fairs. At the time of his death he was city treasurer. Mr Rea left a note for his father In it instructions were given for the care of his family aud other private matters: also a request that his body be sent to St. Louis and cremated. A coroner's inquest was held by Justice Grant and the verdict of the jury was that deceased came to his death by a pistol ball fired from a revolver by himself. services will be held Sunday morn-} ing at the Christian church at 11 o'clock, conducted by Revs. A E.

Hutchison, Kas., Fob. 5.—The Western express on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad train bound for Colorado and California, was held up one mile west of Sylvia, this county, at 11:25 last wight by four masked men who crawled over the tender and with rifles and re volvers forced the engineer and fire- man to stop the train. Two of the men went to the ex press car and demanded adwission. Upon being refused they brokedown the door and went in. Messenger Ruble refused to open the safe und convinced them that they could get more money by boiding up the pas- sengers. At the muzzles of revolvers the engineer and firemen were compell ed to carry sacks through the coach es and sleepers while the bandits the thing of value. Every person was “held up” and a large sum of mouey, watches, jew elry, ticket and valuables were taken from the passengers and dumped into the sacks. inside the coaches and not a man, woman or child was injured but many of them were frightened badly. Some of the women went into hys- terics and one poor woman fainted away after being compelled to give up her ticket to California and $100 in cash. The funeral | sustained by the people on the train, but as many were bound for Califor nia, it would seem that the bandits were well repaid for their work.
