An Indianapolis Woman’s Last Request Complted With. Curcaco, July 12.--A dispatch from Indian- apolis, Ind., says: Mrs. Ernest Prentice died Wednesday. Her last request was that there be no funeral sermon or ceremony. All that she desired wasa brass band. She died of con- sumption and was perfectly sane. Yesterday she was buried. The body of the dead woman was laid out in a neat coffin in the front room of the house. The mourners gathered about. A full brass band was stationed in the yard. After the coffin had been closed and lifted in the hands of the pall bearers the brass band played “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The pail bearers moved slowly from tho house and out to the hearse, the last note of the sacred air dying away as the coffin was ushed inside ragon of death d the doors closed. Then the band took up its posi- tion in front of the hearse, the procession was formed and to the music of a doieful dirge the body was taken to the cemetery. A solemn piece of sacred music was played as the coffin was removed from the hearse and deposited im the vault. There was no prayer, no remarks by a pastor--ouly the music of a brass band. so Seymatn este AnOrange Parade and No Heads Broken ‘New Yorx, July 12—The Orangemen had a splendid parade here today and wound up with ® picnic at Jones’ Wood, and there was no semblance of disturbance.

When Congress met silver was 98 cents an ouuce. Yesterday it sold for 1073¢ centa. Since it had been announced that the conference had agreed upon a bill silver had gone up more than three centr an ounce, [Re- publican applause.] AN IMPROVEMENT ON THE SENATE BILL. Mr. Cutcheon (Mich.) regarded the confer- ence bill as a vast improvement over the monstrosity sent here by the Senate, which roposed to make the United States mints the Jumping ground for all the silver of the world for the benefit of speculation. It was also an improvement over the bill as it originally passed the House, It would give the country an additional currency of metal and paper for the uses of business, ‘MR. HERMANN FAVORS THE BILL. Mr. Hermann (Ore.) said that he favored the bill, although it did not contain the fullest rec- ognition of the equality of gold and silver as money metals—was a concession on both sides of the question. It was a victory for the 7 a lar demand. It was = long step toward f coinage. He had no doubt that after the fall elections there would be a strange representa- tion here on the line of the freo coinage of sil- ver. He congratulated the people he repre- sented that such an advance had been made in establishing an equality between the two great money metals of the world, LOOKING TO THE NEXT HOUSE, Mr. Bland (Mo.) concurred with the gentle- man in hoping that the next House would be a free coinage house. But that House would be. composed of those who advocated free coinage and who stood by their colors. It would not be composed of the republican party, which, ff Rag rule, had voted down and stifled free coinage. If free coinage came at allit would come from that party which had stood firm to the fiag of free coinage and which had not surrendered its principles at the beck of Wall street. He denied that the bill was the result of a free and fair conference. It was the result of secret meet- ings of the republican conferees. He. as aconferee, had known nothing of the measure untilit had been framed and the report was ready to be signed. The democratic members had been ignored in the preparation of the bill, The bill was one which practically de- monetized silver. It wasa SUGAR-COATED QUININE PILL, On the first reading it seemed that the Secre- tary was to purchase 4,500,000 ounces every month; but when a man rolled the pill around in his mouth he began to taste the bitterness “or so much thereof as may be offered.” There could be traced in this measure a stealthy and Italian hand. The bill surren- dered every principle of bimetallism. It sur- rendered free coinage. It made a combination with the bullion speculators of Wall street. In the interest of Wall street it departed trom the legal ratio and changed that ratio from 16 to 1 to 20 to 1, To change the ratio was to pile up so much capital in the Trens- ury at. the’ ~— expense_—oof—=stthe. people and in the interest of Wall street and the bullion owners; and he denounced it as a fraud and a cheat on the people who were de- manding the ratio of 16 to 1. ‘Ihe bill made silver simply a commodity to be measured by 1 upon’ which monoy shall be fesued at its gold value. It was ie = that the measure might make a «mall increase in circulation; but it would make it by a concession to the gold standard and a de- sertion of silver. It was a declaration that Con- gress would not make any further fight for bi- metallism. It was NEITHER A SILVER BILL NOR A GREENBACK BILL, but simply a political device concocted to tide over an emergency. He denounced it as a fraud and would denounce any measure a fraud that did not provide for free coinags When the bill that has his name was passed he (Mr. Bland) had fallen into the trap. Every silver representative then felt perfectly confi- dent that the next President would sign a free coinage bill. He would refer to history those members who were now willing to accept this report as leading to free coinage. Now was the time to make the fight. If the conference report was rejected another conference would be held and the objectionable features of the report stricken out and that was what he had undertaken to do, APPROVAL OF THE CONFERENCE REPORT, ‘Mr. Morrow (Cal.) expressed his approval of the conference report and proceeded to argue that the depression in the price of silver in recent years had resulted from artificial ma- nipalation. ir. Cannon (Til) favored the report and hoped that an international agreement could be reached that would establish a ratio between silver and gold, —— ee Real Estate Matters. C. B.

A COLLISION IN THE FOG, How a Terrible Disaster at Sea was Averted. The North German Lloyd steamer Weser, which arrived in New York yesterday trom Hamburg, reports an accident at sea which came near resulting in great loss of life. Her captain reports that on Sunday ‘ast, in latitude 43.29 longitude 48.32, they ran into a thick fog, and at the same time the thermometer told them that icebergs were in dangerous prox- imity. The fog thickened every moment and the captain decided that safety should come before speed, and he ordered the engines to be run st half speed. sub- sequently they were slowed down to @ quarter speed and all was made snug. The boats were looked to and everything done. to secure the safety of the crew in case of acci- dent.

A Letter Which Has Interested Post Office Department Officials. If there is one thing more than another that interests a postal official it isascheme for rapid mail service, Nearly every day some sugges- tion is made looking to the expediency of the ‘mail service and all are carefully considered. day Ma). Pollock, the acting second assistant postmaster received a letter which made him rub his eyes and then pinch himself to see if he was dreaming. To say that he was amazed will be putting it rather mildly. The writer, without putting om any frills, simply stated that he had invented a machine for traversing the air, which he de- signed for special fast mail service. He then inquired the cost of mail service and asked for other particulars with the view of going into the mail transportation business. Maj. Pollock was so delighted that he sent the following ENOOURAGING REPLI: “I bave the honor to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your communication of the 8th instant announcing the invention by you of a ‘machine for traversing the air, for special fast mail service and capable of carrying mail from New York city to San Francisco in ten hours and short distances in comparatively short — of time.’ Youask as to ‘the present cost of carrying the mails and whether, if matters could be shown satisfactory on your part,there would be any posmbility of your getting a job. “In reply you are respectfully informed that the cost ol Sarrying the mails for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1890, has not yet been definitely ascertained, but that the cost of carrying them in the United States and terri- tories for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1889, as shown by the last annual report of the Post- master General, amounts to the sum of @34,- me ald be any possi # er there wot any - bility of your getting a job if matters could be shown satisfactory’ on your part, depends largely on circumstances and considerations, some of which I will mention. By gettinga ‘job’ I suppose. of course, you refer to # ‘job’ in carrying the mails. I take it for granted that you are aware of the fact thst railroad compa- nies have practically a monopoly of carrying the mai on railroad routes. There is no competition among them for this service and their compensation is fixed by law on the basis of the amount of weight of mails carried, and it runs, and runs pretty fast, too, all the way from €42.75 per mile to $2,824.30 per mile per annum. In that service, of course, there would be no chance for a job for you, and we try to arrange matters in such s way that there is no job in any of the postal service for anybody. in the cave of star service, however, there is great competition among bidders and the service is awaraed to the lowest responsibie bidder whose proposal is in proper form. Consequently in the star service there would be not only a possibility, but a very strong probability, of your getting @ job, especially if you should prove to be the lowest bidder and responsible. “Allow me farther to suggest thet there might be a better opening for your machine in plauet- ary postal service, should that class of service come to be finally established. It would fur- nish @ broad field for the operations of your invention and possibly a profitable one. This latter class of service has never been esta>- lished, partly because of the supposed imprac- ticability of aerial navigation, the problem of which bas been now happily solved by your in- vention, but mostly because there has Das yet no demand for it. “If your machine proves to be practical and successful, of which you seem contident, its es- tabhishment may bo much nearer at hand than is generally supposed by the unscientific por- tion. of mankind. “Should this airy service be established Uncle Samuel would. be enabled, by the uid of your invention, to enter the great Universal Astronomical Postal Union to the tune of Yankee Doodle, with hat and boots on and with flying colors.” THE FEDERAL ELECTION BILL. Representative Payson Says There ts No Doubt it Will be Passed by the Senate. “The federal election bill will be taken up by the Senate and will be passed,” said Rep- resentative Payson to Stan reporter today. ‘This is as certain as anything can be that has not been actually accomplished. It is non- sense to talk of lying back and saying that the House has performed its duty and there let it rest. If there was reason to pass the bill by the House then it must become a law ana be applied to the elections this fall. The bill will be passed by a party vote. Having taken bol of the p'owit will not do to stop and look back.” THEY MAY SIT IT OUT. The Passage of the Lodge Bill a Ques- tion of Endurance. By subtle and skillful manrpulation the ad- vocates of the Lodge election bill are gradually closing in upon the opposition, The commit- tee of Senators appointed to consider by what means the federal election bill could be passed through the Senate, if it is determined to take it up and press it to paesage, have been con- ferring during the day. The proposition submitted to the next caucus will probably be to have a motion made in the Senate to fix a time for taking a vote on the measure and to let the fight come up on this motion, There would be no parliamentary means of limiting the debate upon this re- strictive proposition, but the majority would, 11 they adopted this course of procedure, rely upon a test of physical endurance to force a vote, hey would prevent am adjournment and then see which party would get tired first, ‘Yhis plan will in all probability be presented tothe next caucus fur consideration. There will be strong opposition to it, but just how strong is a question, It 1» reported today that if the major- ity do resort to a change of rules then they will determine to go the full length and will take up the apportionment bill also. Superintendent of Census Porter and some of the Senators have been talking over the progress of the work of the ceusus, and it is said that he has informed them that the census enumeratiqn will be completed and verified in a short time, CAUCUS TO BE HELD MONDAY NIGHT. The caucus will be held on Monday night. The committee bas definitely decided on such achange of rules as wil! permit of the calling for the previous question. A NOTICE TO MR. COLEMAN.

Typhold Fever Piped From Two Great Rivers. The appearance of cholera in Spain and the Possible chance of # visit from the black scourge to this side the ocean has started an examination of drinking waters in many of large cities. The chemists keep a out for the deadly germ in the shape nia, either free or in the shape of albuminoid combinations, A good water may have 0.15 in a million of water. this is doubled the water isbad. Prof. Cresson made during the interval from 1884 to 1886 thousands of tests of water from Belmont Inlet, Spring Garden Inlet, Fairmount Inlet, Fist Rock dam and from the springs below Consho- hocken, showing that during that interval the water contained over 0.30 parts of albuminoid ammouia and twice over 40 parts of free ammo- nia. Nine times it contained between 0.20 an@ 0.30 parts of albuminoid ammonia and very frequently between 0.15 and 0.20 parts, In other words, according to Prof. Cresson’s eral table, the water of Philadelphi an interval of two years, on four occasions con- tained enough ammonia to be totally anfit for drinking purposes: nine times it contained enough to be bad and in only # few instances was it sufficiently free from ammonia to be passable. The explanation is in the amount of se: reaching the rivers from the towns along borders, and today, even though the Schulykill and Delaware have been washed and cleansed by heavy rains, an analysis of their waters shows that they contain ever 0.30 parte of albuminoid ammonia. “In fact,” said Prof. Cresson, “should the cholera, which has broken out ‘thus early no farther away than Spain, get a foothold in this country, Philadelphia's chances, next to those —= being = first and worst to suffer are better than those of an} cil thus far heard from. Iu the punsaue etal tion of our'water, as shown by the high per- centage of ammonia it contains. if the infection: from one case of cholera should reach it the spread of the disease would be almost a cer- tainty. The frightful rapidity with which the cholera germs develop iu just such conditions of water as we now have is beyond the human intellect to conceive.
