A Bold Outrage Committed by High- Waymen in Pennsylvania. Charles 0. Kaiser and his wife Emma were robbed of several hundred dollars In cash and jewelry early last evening not far from Briégeport, Montgomery county, Pa., after which Mrs. Kaiser was shot and in- stantly killed and her husband wounded in the left arm near the elbow. Kaiser, who is about twenty-eight years of age, is a crayon artist, and, accom- panied by his: wife, had driven out to de- liver a number of portraits that had been ordered of him. Having delivered the pic- tures and collected considerable money they were driving home. When a half mile from Bridgeport two men sprang from a clump of undergrowth, one of them seizing the horse by the bridle, while the other leaped into the carriage, overing the occupants with a cocked re- Volver. Without any preliminaries he de- manded of Kaiser and his wife that they empty their pockets. Mrs. Kaiser de- murred, but finally yielded under the de- mands emphasized with a pistol, and was relieved of her gold watch and chain and her purse, containing $33. A diamcnd stud in Katser's shirt front attracted the highwaymen’s attention and was instantly torn out. Katlser’s gold Watch and chain and about $100 in money were also taken. The plunder fatled to satisfy the villain and turning on Mrs. Kaiser he fired a bul- let into her head. As the woman toppled over in the carriage her murderer began firing at her husband. Several shots were fired, but only one took effect, lodging in the fleshy part of the left arm. In an in- stant both men fied through the thicket whence they had but a few minutes before emerged and were lost to, view and safe from pursuit. Hardly had the echo of the last shot died away when Frank S. Mancill, a hotel keeper of Bridgeport, drove up, accom- fantes by his daughter. Kaliser was be- ving ke a mad man, circling about in the road shouting for help. He detailed to Mr. Mancill the particulars of the robbery and shooting, and pointing to his dead wife said she had fainted. Mr. Mancill suc- ceeded in pacifying Kaiser to some extent, and, helping him into the carriage in which the tragedy had been enacted, induced him to drive home. c Mr. Mancill kept his team immediately back of Kaiser's, and, reaching Bridgeport, had him visit Dr. H. C. Mann and have his wound dressed. While Kaiser was in the physician's office the body of Mrs. Kaiser was turned over to an undertaker to await the action of the coroner. —+-e+—____ DAMAGES FOR A DEATH. A Verdict for 10,000 Against the Owner of a Collapsed Building. - A verdict for $10,000 was rendered by the jury yesterday in the case of Bridget Burke of Brooklyn, who sued Jobn Ireland and others in the supreme court; Brooklyn, to recover $25,000 damages for the loss of the life of her husband, John Burke, who was Killed in the collapse of the Ireland build- ing at West Broadway and West :id street, New York. The verdict was assessed against Ireland alone, the contractor being exonerated. ————_+e+_____ Marriage of Elopers. Mrs. Julia Borland Higginson and James Wheatland Smith have been married in Paris. The marriage is the sequel to an elopement which shook Boston society last November. Mrs. Higginson was the wife of Francis Lee Higginson, one of the most Prominent and wealthy bankers of Boston, and a member of the most exclusive clubs of that city. The man she eloped with was fifteen years her junior; a graduate of Harvard in the class of '80, a young lawyer, society man and athiete. After they reached Italy she wrote her husband asking him to take her back, Lut instead he sent her $100,000, and a divorce case followed.

The speaker expressed the belief that the Venezuelan question would soon be dealt with by an arbiter or by an amicable compromise. In the course of his address he said that the Indian government felt the gravest fears as to the possible loss of life from famine, and he suggested that the under- taking of irrigation works would do the most good toward relieving the distress. Referring to the recent statement of Sir Edward Clarke, formerly solicitor general in Lord Salisbury’s last government, that no impartial arbiter would decide in favor of Great Britain in the Venezuelan ques- tion, the Marquis of Lansdowne asserted that he was given to understand that Sir Edward referred only to the districts ve- ycnd the Schomburgk line. This, said the marquis, was a minor point, and was open to a wide divergence of opinion, but he assured his hearers that Great Britain's claim to the territory as a whole was not put forward without the most careful con- sideration. There was reason to believe, he con- tinued, that a time was approaching when these questions would be dealt with by an arbiter or by an amicable compromise, under suitable conditions. When the time came they would go to court, not believing that every point would be given in their favor, but confident that their claims, at any rate, were supported by evidence based on well-established principles of interna- tional law. ———__+ e+ _____ METHODIS?P BISHOPS IN SESSION.

A Young San Franciscoan Gets $500,- 000 for Abstinence. As a reward for five consecutive years of total abstinence from intoxicants Geo. Crocker of San Francisco has been award- ed $500,000. * April 22, 1887, Charles Crocker, the Call- fofnia millionaire, left railroad bonds, now amounting to $500,000, in trust for George Crocker, the third son, with the provision that if at any time with‘n fifteen years after the death of his father George had not taken any intoxicating liquor for a period of five years all the trust proper: was to go to him. If George did motesurd vive or Sustatay rons lqaor the property was to vi between th i of the trustees. See George Crocker did not overcome his bibulous tendencies until 1891. In Septem- ber of that year he resolved to win the $500,000 trust. That he succeeded was evidenced on September 22, when he made application for the property, claiming that he had carried ot the terms of the trust by abstaining from intoxicants from Sep- tember 22, 1801, to September 22, 1898. The court has just granted the order for the trustees’ disposal. THEDEBTORS'CHANCE Curious Phases of fhe Problem of Re- EFFECT OF CHANGING RATIOS Taking Revenge, in 1896 for the "“Crime-ef 1873.” THE WOLF AND THE LAMB Independent free coinage at 16 to 1 would benefit debtors only by swindling creditors. Every man to whom a dollar is now due would be compelled to accept for it one-half of that amount. American debtors, including the nation itself, would go into fraudulent bankruptcy at 50 cents on the dollar or thereabouts, indelibly staining the credit of the nation and that of every debtor in it, The charge of dishonesty in free coinage at 16 to 1 is met by the allegation that tre gold standard dollar has appreciated since 1873 until it is now a 200-cent dol- lar and needs depreciation itself by. one- half to be rendered honest. The theory of gold appreciation has been thorovghly discussed in the campaign and in the opinion of the sound money men hes been exploded. But there is another branch of the discussion on this point which has not been go fully or so satis- factorily explored. If it were possible to demonstrate that gold had appreciated, es alleged, this dem- onstration would not suffice to prove that the half-value silver dollar under un- limited free coinage at 16 to 1 would be an honest coin. If debtors have been gradually robbed for more than twenty years by a dollar ap- Preciating slightly though with fluctua- tions from year to year, the evil and crime ere not to be remedied by wholesale rob- bery of the creditors of today, by a sud- den and large depreciation of that dollar. One crime does not justify another. There is no retributive justice in the crime since the persons to be robbed today are not the robbers of the last twenty years. Because A, a debtor of fifteen or ten years 8g0, was swindled to an almost inappre- clable amount through gradually appre- ciating money, therefore B, a creditor of today, should be swindled out of 47 per cent of his due by a sudden depreciation of the money in which he is paid. This ig the silver view of compensation. All creditors are grouped together and all debtors are grouped together without re- gard to the years in which they lived and are arrayed against each other like the Indians and white men of old times on the frontier. If a white man Killed an Indian, tre Indians would, in retaiiation, kill the first white man whom they met. The creditors of today are to be ropbed 47 per cent because the debtors of the ‘708 and ‘t0s may have been robbed 2 or 3 per cent, though:the debtors of the ‘is who suffered thia!.small robbery are in many instances the creditors of the ‘Ws whom it is propased:ito plunder of half their due in retaliation for the previous robbery committed tm part upon them- selves. They are thus pluniered both go- ing and coming. «1 A debtor vendetta ie declared against all creditors, lasting trom generation to gen- eration, without regard to individual changes in the composition of the two classes, or even of, changes in the course of years from one ¢jass to the other. The Cure fér ‘Appreciation. The cure for the evlis of a fluctuating, appyeciating money: is not to substitute a depreciating, fluctuatfhg money, but a steady, unfluctuating Currency, neither ap- preciating nor depreciating. Any swindle perpetrated -upon ,the..debtorg of 1873 is not satisfied by swindling the creditors of 1896. The statute of limitations has prob- ably run against the previous swindle. In any event, we cannot show our abhor- rence of an old rascality by resorting to a new one. The dubious and infinitesimal crime of 187% does not justify the vast proposed crime of 1896. | Nor would the one justify the other if that of 1873 were the greater. To cure the alleged evils of an alleged appreciating money of twenty years we are asked to substitute the certain evils of a Cepreciated and depreciating moncy for today, Discarding as unreliable a constant- ly lerigthening financial yard stick, shall we substitute instead of 2 stable measure one that is constantly shortening? The evil of a changing money standard is not to be remedied on the homeopathic principle that like cures like. It is only in the nursery rhymes dedicated to Mother Goose and other members of the Goose family that the wise man who has scratched out his eyes by jumping into a bramble bush con- ceives the brilliant idea of jumping into another bush in order to scratch them in again. If on account of the imagined mysterious affinity between the price of silver and all of the commodities except gold the appar- ent depreciation of silver is really an ap- preciation of gold, and the gold dollar has been appreciating in value since 1873 until now it is a 200-cent dollar and needs to be cut in two in order to enable a debtor to pay equitably a debt contracted in 1873, it is evident that this depreciation of the dollar is just only in the case of the cred- itor of 1878. The debtor of no other year has had cach dollar of his debt doubled upon him. The number of debts still ex- isting which were contracted in 1873 or in the adjacent years, when on the silver- ites’ theory our dollar was worth approx!- mately 100 cents, is infinitesimal, and they are nearly all corporation indebtednesses, railroad, governmental and municipal, due from wealthy and powerful debtors, whose credit. was strong enough to maintain long- sustained indebtedness, and who made such profitable use of the borrowed money that they might be supposed able to pay the extra intérest or bonus represented by the alleged appreciation of the dollar of pay- ment. Against the debtors of 1873 and thereabouts (not one per cent of the entire number of. debtors) who will be justly treated by depreciation of the dollar to 50 cents, if gold has really done all the fluctuating, are to be placed all other cred- {tors than’ those who loaned in 1873 or thereabouts, who will be swindled in a constantly increasing amount as ‘the date of their loans approaches the present day. Statistics show that the bulk of existing debts not yet due were contracted within the year, and that only the most insignifi- cant fraction are older than five years, which is the maximum limit of western real estate mortgages, Result of FFucfaating Ratios. ‘The ‘assumption that silver has remained uniform in value,‘andthat our gold dollar has done all the flustuating, works out some curious results, if accepted. It is not al- ways thé debtors who,have been defrauded even on this theory..\The depreciation of silver or the appreciation of gold has not been continuous. Debtors who obtained loans in ‘86, ‘87, ‘88 and ‘89 and paid in 1890, for instance, paid in cheaper dollars than they gave, ayd defrauded their credi- tors, instead of being defrauded. The ratio of silver to gold f was 20.78 to 1; in *87, ar "88, 27.99; in "89, 22.10, and in 1890, 19.7 ‘The depreciatioW of silver in the ailver dollar represents..thesalleged appreciation of the gold dollar.; ‘The silver dollar has not depreciated nor the gold dollar appreciated continuously since 1873.

Laura McHenry, in the Ladies’ Home Journal, says : The headache par excellence or rather ad libitum among women is the “sick headache,” and by that I find is meant a headache which is attended in any stage of its action by a nausea, which increases until vomiting ensues, when the pa- tient’s skin becomes naturally moist again. And yet every woman can lessen the number and frequency of her headaches by assisting nature by natural means. The Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, which is evaporated from the natural waters of Carlsbad, taken early in the morning before breakfast, and if necessary at bedtime (about half a teaspoonful dis- solved in a tumblerful of water), will supply these means. It is an alterative and elimina- tive remedy, which dissolves ten- acious bile, allays irritation, and removes obstructions by aiding nature, and not by sudden and excessive irritation, as “most ca- thartics do. It is of great benefit in temporary and habitual con- stipation, liver and kidney dis- eases, chronic catarrh of the stomach and bowels, rheumatism and gout, etc., and should be used early in the morning before breakfast, specially during the spring and summer months. re must be exercised to obtain the genuine article, which is im- ported in round bottles and has the signature of Eisner & MEN- DELSON Co., Sole Agents, New York, on the bottle. and paid in 1890 paid in a cheaper dollar than they borrowed.

In those years the creditor loaned to the debtor, on the silverite theory, 200-cent dollars; in the natural course of events, if he recelved payment in the first six months of 1896 he would receive dollars somewhat less than those he had loaned, but what else than swindling is it to compel him to receive for the 200-cent dollars which he loaned 100-cent dollars, on the ground that dollars were worth only 100 cents in 1873? Half of the great bulk of existing debts would, on the silverites’ own theory, be stolen from the creditors for the benefit of debtors under the forms of law. The Wolf and the Lamb. The creditors who have loaned within the last five years, including 99 per cent of the class, when threatened with a depreciation of their dollar by half, in vain call attention to the fact that if the dollar of their debts has appreciated at all, the amount is in- finitesimal and justifies in no event a greater reduction than that amount. It seems paradoxical to liken a debtor to a wolf and a creditor to a lamb, but the situation strongly suggests the fable in which the lamb was accused by the wolf first of disturbing his drinking water, though the lamb was downstream, and, secondly, of insulting the wolf at a date which the lamb showed was prior to his birth; on the strength of which pre-natal insult the lamb was torn to pieces and de- voured. 3 The free coinage debtor of °S6 says to his recently contracted debt: “You committed against me the crime of 187% By that crime you have fattened at my expense to twice your original size. I will now justly Proceed to tear you in tw “Alas,” vainly pleads the youthful debt; “at the date you epeak of I was not yet born.” T. W. N. ———.__ MACEO’S SUCCESS. Bullion value of sil- ver dollar. 491 Reports of the Progress of Cuban In- surgents. Passengers by the Mascotte, arriving at Key West from Havana, report that Gen. Antonio Maceo, with 2,500 troops, broke through the trocha, and is now in the Havana district. He went over to assist Gen. Gomez in his march to Havana. Ma- ceo left Gen. Rios in charge of his troops in the province of Pinar del Rio with 10,- 000 men in the insurgent stronghold. The report that the Spanish troops had captured his camp was true, but it was the place where the insurgents were awaiting a favorable opportunity to cross the trocha, and after Maceo had broken camp. Gen. Munez of the Spanish army, with 1,000 men, made an attack on Antonio Ma- ceo on the hill known as Cacarajicaras. Maceo in the meantime retreated by the rear of kis camp with his forces and at- tacked the town of Artemisa, headquar- ters of the trocha. Maceo sent orders into the town for the women and children to leave before the bombardment, but the Spanish general, Arolas, refused to allow them to leave, say- ing that they all perish together. Maceo then bombarded the town and passed through the trocha to the province of Ha- vana, where he is now, to meet Gomez. Munez attacked the hill where he thought Maceo was and only found a small deiach- ment of insurgents on the hill to distract the Spanish general's attention while Ma- ceo attacked the trocha. The town of Artemisa was terribly wrecked and many persons are reported killed. ———+o+_____ Storm in the Southwest. - A well-defined tornado formed in Squirrel Creek bottom, four miles west of the vil- lage of Farmington, and about ten miles west of Sherman, Texas, yesterday af- ternoon. Parties who saw it at its ince>- tion say that out of a seething, tumbling mass of inky clouds a funnel-shaped col- umn descended until it touched the earth, and then it began to move northeastward, accompanied by the usual terrific crash and roar as it tore through the bottoms, ‘p- rooting large trees and demolishing every- thing in its path, which for the first mile or two was thirty or forty yards in width. The path of the storm lay at least a mile and a half east of Sherman, but the cloudburst which accompanied was furi- ous in the eastern portion of the city. A severe rain, wind and thunder storm which passed over New Orleans yesterday caused one death and did cther damage. The lightning, which was very heavy, struck five houses. Albert Trahina, an cc- cupant of one of them, was struck and instantly killed. A large number of trees were blown down and houses were ..un- roofed. THis {.
