The coroner concluded his ctarge a follows: "The question for you to decide is, wha was the primary cause and could it have been avoided and the lives of these meE saved? If it could have been, then it is you: duty to designate by name every person wh< you may deem culpable of either negligence earelessness. incompetency or indifference.' The jury held the following men respon; sible for the death of those who were killed in the collapsed building: John Parker. Thomas Walker, Charles R Behrens, Thomas Murray, Edward J. You dale and Dennis A. Buckley. Joseph Guider and John E. Selleck were exonerated by the jury. The collapse, the jury says, was caused b) insufficient foundation, and that the middli column was weakened by being above the old eistern. The iron work of the old build ing was defective.

UOR~i'ESTER, MASS. FREE SILVER IS PROSPERITY, EX-SENATOR JARVIS' SPEECIt AT MORIGANTON, N. C, Advised His Auditors to Study the Question and Join Whatever Party They Might Believe Would Give Them Free Silver. Ex-Senator Jarvis spoke in the cottt house at Morganton, N. C., in the interval between the morning and afternoon ?essions of ludge Bryan's eourt Governor Jarvis said his presonce wi due to repeated pressing invitatious for him to speak in 3organton from a distin guished citizen of the town. le said he would speak with kindness and good will to all. The pcople of the United States are all powerful: they are the real sovereigns, and hey, ultimately, must determine the finat= cial policy of this country, No matter wha the attitude of the great men of the day diu these questions of governtnent and political economy, the people must finally settle them at the ballot box. where the carriage-driver of the Preside:t stands an equal ehoAt fith that dignitary. and th hoot-bli-ek of the Secretary of the Trea-suirY 'ith him. H, to(Ia~v would address himself to the of a subject which touched every home, every inilustry. every individual. "I care not how grand a man you are, on tha question I discuss to-day the situation iS tho same in the hunblcst fIre'iio as with that of the riefiest man in the land. I need not tell you it is the great money question-what i4 to be the dinancial policy of this great edua= try of ours." He said he was speakiujig tC. those only who did not know more about the finan'ial.ques tion than he did.- H: did not know all about it, and he doubted if any man did. Vut he hal convictions n the question, thn resuit of much reflection and tudy, Vo0l merly the papers wrr full of talk of "thd I:,rjf.' but now yta 'naTnot pick tip It 10 litical pape (and soimeti'mesa religious jour nal) without seeing something about two wor-is: bi-m'taism" and "mono-metal lisa." Th speaker proceeded- to give hi3 ideas of the tw.) terms: "A bi-metallist is a man in favor of the free nnd unlimited use of both gold and silver, as the money of the peolle." O: the othor hand, "a mono-me tallist is a man in favor of disearding one metal and simply using the, othler, generally gold. and always gold in the "United States." "Nor.' continued the speaker, "1 want to lay down this proposition: M.ney may and ought to be d~vided into two great classes: First, primary or redemption money; and seond, redcemable or secondary money. The first is always metallie, gold or silver, or both. Take a silver or gol coint No prom is- to redeem is stamped on it, It is re demptio , money itself. You will see written thereon these four memorable words: -In God we trust.' Iow you or I shall interpret them makes no matter. but as for me I can say 'Happy is the man who trusts in the living God, for all alon- in the history of the world we see the evidences of IIis benefi cenee." This over-ruling providence was maimfested in God's putting gold and silver into the earth, and allowing enough of it for .,ll the needs -f commerce. Then again take a Treasury note. If it is a $5 "ote you see on it a promise that the ITreasury or government will pay to the holder. wh~en presented at the proper place S 5 in coin, It is redeemnable because of the nromise to r~edoem in coin." 'Another proposition: redemption or pri mary money ahvays measures the value of iproperty. This is a proposition which can inot be disputed. A yard, and inch, a pound, -are standards of measurement or weight. So a dollar is a measure of value. The value -of anything is measured by something whichi by comnmon consent has been established ty law. Up to 1872l, when silver was demnonetize'd, a dollar's worth meant anythin;, worth 371%~ -grains of pure silver or with the alloy 412% grains of standard silver. An act of Con gress early in the history of this country said that must be the unit of value ma this * oumntry by which all the property of this z ountrv should be measured, Another proposition still, was that re deemable money, paper, wais simply used as a medium of exchange. Here .the speaker went into an explanation of credits ulti miately redeemable in coin. He illustrated by showing how a check might pay many iebts before being presented at the bank. The cheek didn't measure value; it was simply a mnedium of exchange. ' One more proposition the specaker said he wished to make: "JTust as~ von reduce the stock of redleemnable mo)ney you re duce the Kvalue of all prope'rty,'so that when Congress, in 187;3. struck dlown silver as redeemable money, it redued the value of property,and iil valuos have since declined about one half. Your wheat, corn, cotton, lands and prodlucts of the soil have been reduced by it about one-half in value." Then said Governor Jarvis: "If I'm cor Srect in that statement. what ought we to do' as an intelligent, liberty-loving people? It is the bounden duty of the American people to restore silver to its position before 1873." * il nther proposition: the ideal money for the use of the people is that money - which is fixed, invariable and permanent, in its measure of values. If I exchange my -note with you for $100, payable in three v ears. it is important that I should know w hat that note should require when it be -conmes dlue-to know how much- of land, or wheat, or iron, etc., etc., it is going to take to pamy that note. If it takes twice as much to pay as when the note was given, I am Ihurt; if only half, then you are hurt. "But I will show you that the best stand ard of value is when you have both gold and silver. Together they form the most sta~e money in value the 'world ever yet tried. But wh-len you take a single metal, as a stand ard of value, just as you make it plentiful, its purchasing pioweur goes dlown; or scarce. utp..: .A single standard. therefore, is a vari I ble measure of value, -In 1s;:3 gold was made the standard of lvalue, and to-day it ta'kes twice as much of the produets of the soil and of labor to pur chase $100 ais it dlid prior to tue demonetiza tioni of silv'r. "Oumr friends." said the speaker. "who an tagoizea free silver say the reason lands and produ'ts have gene down is (Iue to other en'uses. mlui not t'' the applreciation of gold, Thiev talk ab'.ut th~e honiest dollar.

At Brooklyn, N. Y., three distinct earth quake shocks were felt about the same time. The shock was severe in Coney Island and many people were awakened from their sleep. Pictures, crockery and even furniture in many houses were dislodged from their positions and their owners who were not awakened by the earthquake wondered how it came to pass. The shake was felt at many other points in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.

The firm of Barnett & Wenar, ticket bro' ers. doing business on Canal street, New rleans. have for some time been giving evi- Fl ence that the firm was engaged in a boom- m, ag business. For months past the Southern acifle railroad has been quietly investigat- in! ag the travel to and from points in which st< is interested. There was a great passen- in er business, but somehow the reeenues did ot compare with the number of tickets old. Evidently something was wrong and he company tried every plan to unearth the ystery without success. The more it was nvestigated the more apparent it became th hat a gigantic fraud was being perpetrated tb n the Southern Pallie. a I Finally new Southern Paciict tickets were th rinted and quickiy distributed in all see- I , ions where it appeared the fraud was being iw orked. A minute eheek mark on these in ew tickets was the only differenee between pj hem and the old issue. The special agent of f the cempany at this point then begun to il ook for bogus tickets. One ticket lacking b he cheek mark turned up and vith this clew he special agent soon run the trail down. rn ie conspirators offered the agent :25.000 if i ie would simply keep his mouth shut and gr et thin::s run along as they had been run- ri; 3ing for so long. ie figured out that whilo Ei [e felt sure lie had his own case dead to pi rights. a successful prosecution might fail if m1 he eviden'e of fraud were not strengthened fu >v more conclusive proof. He asked them pi r6r time to coi sider the offer and aid the wheme before the railroad company oflicers. 61 With their approval he appareintly permitted M himself to be made a party to the fraudulent t0 pratiees, but began to collect evidence of fe the guilt 'of the conspirators. Saturday the ase was ripe and Baruett & Wenar, ticket is brokers, were arrested and the printers of t( he tickets and all concerned will be made arties to a fraud of surpassing interest and tM col ssal proportiois. whiei can only be ad judicated ly the United States court. Bar- S nett & Wenar were brought before United States Conmissioner Wright and placed un- c; der $2.000 bonds for their appearance before 1, the United States court on the charge of us- a ing the mails for fraudulent purposes. . prisate teletgrams frori New York state a that Clarence Barnett, another member of d the firm. was arrosted there and 4,000 of the v. fraudulent tickets were found in his posses- p This as,: ha.. caused agreat sensation. n Stoves to C nelihgir Saturday nighJt the Chattanooga, (Tenn..) stove works shut down its plaut, telling its C employees that there would b-4 no further work for thirm until the proecf stoves went up.

The uses to which worn-out steel rails are put are various. Their aver age life on the railroads is from nine to twelve years. They are then usu ally sold as junk for about half their original price. Some are used by fac tories for small railways and sidings. A great deal of old railroa~d iron is made into barbed .wire for fences, and old rails are often used just as they are for the foundations of buildings.

An old lumberman just in from the headwaters of the Allegash, above Moosehead Lake, says there are 50,03D hundred-dollar violins growing on two townships of land near Lobster Lake. Until lately, says an authority on the fiddle spruce, about all the spruce fit to make into violins was procured near Lake Saranac, N. Y., and here it was getting to be so scarce that the men who were sent to hunt it up made poor wages. In fact the chief supply of "fiddle wood" has of late come from the spruce and fir floor boards of the. colonial mansions. It is found that clear boards, seasoned for years under cover, give forth a very resonant tone, even if they are not fine grained and "kinky," like the true violin sprace. Boards from the under floors of aged houses are preferred, and those which were laid nearest the big old chimneys are the best of all. Kiln drying spoiis the tone of the choicest woods; but a slow, dry heat, away from the light, under such conditions as floor boards are dried, seems to bring out tha melody in stock that is worthless when treated by the usual methods. The true "fiddle spruce" is the "abies rubra" of Gray's botany, and it seems to be a fine-grained variety of the "abies nigra," or black "beer spruce," which is common throughout the Eastern States. It is found on cold hillsides at the far North, and it is a slow-growing, close-fibred wood of a reddish tint, and remarkable free fromrosin. When a man discovers a tree of this class, largo and straight and free from big limbs and knots, he can ventura to fell it, knowing that he stands about one chance in twenty of finding a fiddle spruce. If the grain of the wood proves straight, with a cleavage which makes toothpicks, he has spoiled a timber tree for nothing. If the wood is "kinky," however, and full of dots, like a bird's-eye maple. the tree is worth fifty cents a cubic foot where itlies, and three times that sum when it is sawed and seasoned. This wool not only gives an even, resonant sound when made into a vio !n, but it takes a beautiful polish, which brings out the wavy and spot ted fibre in a way to make it admired by all. About fifty years ago a man in Newport, N. H., planted the cones of a fiddle spruce in a nursery, hoping, as he said "to raise his own fiddles." They grew well, but out of over 200 seedlings there was not a single tree fit to make into violins. -Springfield 'Republican. THE SOUTH BOOMING. A Noticeable Sign is the Expansion of The Steamship Service. The 3anufa-turrs' R 'eord, in its weekly review of Southern business interests, says that one of the notitea',le signs of the times is the rapid expansion of steamshin service between Southern ports and Ea:-,pe. Dur ing the last few days a n-m'2mr of important announcement ha;-3 been mad1e for new steamship lines; oneO from Norfolk to H:am burg, one from Pensacola to Liverpool. one from New Orleans to Colon, and the organi zation of a company to run regular steam ship lines from Gaiveston to several Euro pean ports. Among other notable events for the week were the saleof 25,000 tons of Alabama iron to Carnegie for steel making purposes. One steel plant is now under construction in Alabama; part of the nmaterial has been or deed for an ther and the capital is now being raised for building a third: indicating that Alabama is soon to take an active posi tion in steel making.
