Naucy Hanks' three heats at Independence

Down on Buck.
A writer fortt'e New York Sun wants Buck
Ewing deposed from the captaincy. Ho says:
"It is absolutely necesviry that some meas
ures be taken at once to solidify the team
and bring its full strength to bear for the re
mainder of the season. What shall that
action be, and how can the members of tlie
team bo imbued with new interest in the
welfare of the clubt It can only bo ac
complished by taking tho responsibility nnd
care irom the shoulders of Buck Ewing and
placing it in the hands of the men. Ewing
is unable to play ball, and his generalship
exerted trom the bench Is futile. Therefore,
let Buck En ing resign the captaincy of the
team and ko home to Cincinnati until such
time as the condition of bis arm warrants
him rejoinlnc the team, and le the responsi
bility rest w hero it belongs. Lot the players
next select from their number one who Is to
net as field captain, and let them hereafter
play for the pennant. Only, let It be under
stood that whoever is chosen as captain
must be endowed with the fullest power.and
let the others agree to obev his every com
mand. This appears to be the only solution
or the dinlculty. The management cannot
afford to overlook the seriousness of the
situation, and pr mpt, decisive action mnst
be taken if hopes are entertained of winning
the pennant."

SENTIMENT AMONG THE BANKERS.
The Clumsiness of Gold in Se'ttling Interna

A HETHOD THAT WOULD SAYE TEOUBLE
f SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New Yokk, Sept 6. Matthew Marshall
reviews the financial and speculative situa
tion for to-morrow's Sun as follows:
I confess to a little satisfaction at the
failure of the scheme for forming a syndi
cate of national banks to purchase 55,000,
000 of the maturing 4J per cent Govern
ment bonds, and, after extending them at
2 per cent, to take out circulation against
them. I do not claim that the expression
of my views on the question last Monday
had any influence in bringing about the
failure, for the arguments I adduced were
such as would naturally present themselves
to any intelligent mind.
In fact, as I said, all measures for inflat
ing the currency, and thereby raising prices,
are So popular that I was not prepared to
sec a sufficient number of bank presidents
carried away by this one, and its defeat was
an agreeable surprise to me. But, as if to
prove that my foreboding was not altogether
unjustified, the officers of the Fourth
National Bank, sinpe the 53,000,000 syndi
cate was abandoned, have taken a step,
which proves either their weakness as
financiers, or their shrewdness in catering
to popular prejudice.
LOAN- OF A MIMJON.
For the purpose of stimulating the return
to this country of at least a part of the
S5,000,000 in gold which we have exported
to Europe since January 1, thev have agreed
to lend the equivalent of $1,000,000 of it to
its importers free of interest from the time
of its shipment to the time of its arrival
here. In other words, they pay a premium
on the gold equal to interest upon it for a
"week or more.
As a matter of business this is throwing
away just so much money; as a matter of
sentiment it may be not only justifiable, but
good policy. In fact, the legitimate effect
of the presence and the absence of gojd in
a country is so complicated with the worK
ings of men's imaginations that it is difficult
not to yield occasionally to sentimental con
siderations in dealing with the metal.
There is a story pt a clergyman who, sev
eral times running, borrowed a $10 bill from
one of his congregation every Saturday and
returned the identiasd bill the following
Monday. Finally the lender was curious
enough to asic lor.an explanation ot tne
transaction, and got this : "Oh, I can preach
ever so much better with a little money in
my pocket"
JCST I.IKE THE PKEACBEK.
It made no difference that the money was
borrowed; it was enough that the borrower
had it iij his possession for the time being.
So, my Fourth National Bank friends are
not concerned as to the means adopted to
bring gold across the ocean, provided it
gets here somehow. Knowing that its com
ing under normal conditions indicates a
flow of capital to this country, nnd know
ing that the public, so long as they see it
arriving, will assume that it is sent in the
natural course of trade, they set to work to
produce the result artificially, with the
well-grounded expectation that it will have
the same effect as if it had been due to un
assisted causes.
Their success, indeed, has been greater
than they expected. The amount of the
shipment they nave aided has been doubled
by being reported, not only when it was
engaged, ijut also when it was put on board
the steamer, aud, probably, when it arrives
it will be counted a third time. Like the
supernumeraries in a play, the same 51,000,
000 will be marched across the stage again
ard again until it creates to the spectator
the illusion of being $2,000,000 or $3,000,
000, and ncrhaps more.
CLUMSINESS OF GOLD.
By the way, how is it that in these days
of labor-saving contrivances in finance as in
other departments of human activity, with
checks and drafts for the settlement of
home balances; -with gold certificates and
silver certificates freely used in the place of
coin, and with bank clearing houses at all
our great money centers, we still continue
to settle international balances by the
clumsy, costly and risky transportation of
actual gold?
It is counted and weighed out, packed in
boxes and kegs, carted to steamers, stored
away in their holds, then shaken and rolled
about on the ocean for a week or more to
its great detriment by wear, and finally un
loaded again and carted to its.destination
after paving roundly for freight and insur
ance. All this could be avoided if the great
financial institutions of the world would
only establish a common gold warehouse
and use the receipts of its custodian in
place of the actual coin or bars. The
United States Government performs this
function for this country. Its gold certifi
cates pass from bank to bank the same as
coin, and, years ago, the banks of this city
made the Bank of America their common
storehouse for gold, and employed its re
ceipts in settling balances between them
selves. -tVOUXJ) SATE TROUBLE.
If, in the same way, the Bank of Eng
land, the Bank of France, the Bank of
Germany, the United States Treasury
would each agree to accept certificates of
gold deposits issued by the others as the
gold itself, there would be an end of the ex
pense, risk and delay which now attend the
transfer of gold to and fro across the ocean.
Of course, it would hare to be a matter of
honor all around not to issue phantom cer
tificates, and would have to be stipulated
that in case of war" the actual gold should
be delivered, but these are not insuperable
obstacles.
To return, however, to this subject of sen
timent in finance, and to the power of the
imagination in financial affairs. Just in the
same way that the $5,000,000 bond syndicate
was planned, avowedly to influence public
opinion and to toll along other purchasers
for the maturing 4Ws, and just as the
Fourth National Bank is artificially stimu
lating gold imports lor the purpose of in
spiring confidence in the financial future,
so. I see. the Secretary of the Treas'irv is
.manipulating his monthly statements to
make them iook pretty.
THE CLEVELAND METHOD.
When the Cleveland administration came
in, the surplus was (uncomfortably large,
and every expedient was employed to di
minish its apparent bulk. First. $100,000,
000 in gold was subtracted from tne cash on
hand aud set aside, without warrant of law,
as a fund unavailable for auy purpose but
the redemption of the greenbacks. Then
the fractional coin in the Treasury, amount
ing to $30,000,000, was declared to be use
less for the payment of the nation's cred
itors, and, thirdly, but very properly, when
a check was given out, the amount of it was
deducted from the balance against which it
was drawn, without waiting for it to be
presented for payment
Now that not onlf the surplus thus di
minished in appearance has vanished, but
enough money has been taken from the
Treasury to create an apparent deficiency, a
new system has been adopted. The $100,
000,000 greenback reserve and the fractional
coin are lumped into one general fund, and
checks given out are not charged up Jintii
they are actuallv paid. In addition, the
liability of the Treasury for surrendered
National Bank circulation, amounting to
some $30,000,000 or $40,000,000, and for
which the banks have deposited greenbacks
and gold with the Treasury, is erased from
the statement altogether.

in these changes. The Government is not

it would be made bankrupt by refraining
from them, or is made solvent by their

,the Secretary of the Treasury, being a poli
tician and "knowing how people are in
fluenced by appearances, has contrived to
show a cash balance in his possession of
$150,000,000 or ?1GO,000,000, whereas, if he
had stuck to the methods of his Democratic
predecessors, he would have to acknowledge
a large deficit

TREATMENT OF IDEAS.
It is plain that it is not the eye which
sees, northe ear which hears, nor the tongue
which tastes, but that it is the mindbehind
these organs which interprets the impres
sions made upon them into sensible ideas.

An English Defaulting Cashier Is Arrested
in Detroit
Detroit, Mich., Sept 6. Sidney Olds,
alias Samuel Owen, an alleged English em
bezzler, was arrested last night by Detec
tives Myler and Tuttle. Olds is wanted
at New castle-on-Tyne on the charge of
embezzling from Fesher & Bemyck,
shipbuilders and contractors at that
place, for whom he was secre
tary and treasurer. He left England
nbout June 20 and arrived in this country
about July 1. Inspector Byrnes, of New
York City, was notified by the English po
lice, -but Olds got away and headed for the
"West July 8. He arrived in this city two
weeks ago from Chicago, and has since been
stopping at the Normandie, at which hotel
the arrest was made. Olds denied his iden
tity, but the production of a descriptive cir
cular and a photograph brought an admis
sion that he was the man, Olds breaking
down and shedding tears. The prisoner is
40 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches in
height, and weighs 170 pounds. He has a
mother, wife and children living in Eng
land. It is said that he succeeded in getting
away with $30,000. Since coming to this
country he has speculated larccly in wheat.
An officer, in answer to a telegram, is ex-pectedo-morrow
with the necessary papers
for the return of the prisoner to New York
and thence to England.
A dispatch from New York says: A dis
patch was received at ponce neaaquarters
here to-day stating that Sidney Olds, alias
Samuel Owen, who is accused of embezzling
5,000 from Fesher, Renryck &Co., of New

Deserted by One Man a California
Xa&t
Harries Another.
Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 6. On 'Sun
day Miss Killie Lee, a daughter of wealthy
parents, expected to be Mrs. Billie "Vaughn
the next morning. The wedding was setfor 11
o'clock Monday, but at the appointed time
the bridegroom failed to appear. The wed
ding was postponed one hour. It appears
there were two young men who wanted to
marry Miss Lee. Dick "Vaughn was rich,
and managed to win the consent of Miss
Lee, while Dick Elliott was poor and fol
lowed the unlovely occupation of a grave
digger at Evergreen Cemetery.
It is possible that Elliott stood best in
Miss Lee's heart, but cirtumstances decided
in favor of Vaughn. Mrs. Vaughn, how
ever, did not approve her son's marriage
and sent a letter to the bride, waiting in her
bridal robes, that her son would not be
there. The sister of the bride took the
next car for Evergreen Cemetery. She
found Elliott digging a grave. She
told him that the field was clear.
Dick went home and soon emerged in
his best suit "When he called at the home
of Miss Lee there were cries of "Dick!"
"Killie!" and the next minute the two lov
ers were locked in each other's arms. "I
nearly made an awful mistake," sobbed the
brideJ Dick kissed away the tears, and it
was arranged that the graveidgger and
heiress should be married at 3 o'clock. The
ceremony took place then, but the romance
has just leaked out

Serious End of a Dispute Between Posey
County, Ind., Farmers.
EVANSVTLI.E, Ind., Sept. 6. Yesterday
afternoon' a serious cutting affray occurred
about midway between this city and Mount
Vernon between John Carter, lately
moved in Posey county from Ken
tucky, and George Barrough. Early
in the summer Carter and Barrough had
a- dispute while working with a thresher.
Yesterday they came to Evansvillc Irom the
countrv with a friend named Chissler and
all drank quite freely. "While returning
home Carter renewed the dispute, but Bar
rough refused to discuss matters and asked
that they remain friends, as their difference
of opinion was over a trivial matter.
Carter, who is rated as a desperate man
in his neighborhood, having failed to em
broil Barrough, grew desperate, and reach
ing up, caught him by the hair of the head,
threw him back and cut a great gash in his
neck with a large pocket knife. "When
the enormity of his crime dawned
upon him, Carter leaped from the
wagon and disappeared in the woods and
a searching party discovered him at "West
Franklin, a river landing,,reaay to escape
to the Kentucky shore. He was jailed at
Mount Vernon. Barrough was taken to
the nearest physician and given immediate
attcntiou. He was very weak from loss of
blood, and at last accounts was reported

AMERICANS CAUGHT IN EUROPE.
The ISoim in Stocks Causes a Rash for the
Western Continent.
SPECULATIVE FEY.ER ON IN ENGLAND
London, Sept. 6. The ITerdld corre
spondent cables as follows: The situation
of hundreds of Americans in London is be
coming absolutely tragic. The difficulty of
getting passage back to America may be
judged by the fact that as high as $100 has
been offered as a premium for berths pn
steamers 'sailing to-day, but ''all in vain.
There is a multitude of "Western speculators
here who did not forsee the early boom irj
stocks due to big crops who have been rush
'ing back from all parts of Europe wild with
excitement and clamoring for passage back
before it is too late to make money on the
general rise.
I saw one Minnesota man last night "who
offered $200 extra for a passage on the TJm
bria. Had it not been for his wife and
child he would have gone in the steerage.
Three Americans ivent to the office of the
Guion line and wanted a cabin on the first
ship that sailed. The agent informed them
he could not give them a cabin until about
the beginning of October.
BIG- SHIPS SOLD OUT.
The agent of the Hamburg-AmericanLine
said: "We have been sold out since July
up to October. There have been many more
Americans in Europe this year than last
year. I never knew such a crush before.
The Furst Bismarck has been sold out all
the season, even to the cooks' and butchers'
rooms; in fact the Furst Bismarck was sold
out for the entire year, except by chance
that some one is giving up his cabin or
berth."
The agent of the Guion Line said: "AVc
are sold un to the becinnins of October.
Dozens who have applied for passage in the
Alaska have been turned away."
The agent of the AVhite Star Line said:
"Applications for passage are far beyond
our capacitv. Two ladies called to-day who
want to sail to New York next week and of
fered $650 for the voyage. We would not
accommodate them. There are so many
round trip tickets that most of the business
is done in the New York office."
The Inman Line agent said that the pecul
iarity of the American traffic tins year was
that people were leaving for home earlier
than usual. The North German Lloyd
Line is full up to the end of September.
T1IBOUGH THE SUDDEN TJISE IN STOCKS.
The secret of all this is the sudden rise in
stocks caused by the failure of European
crops. The storekeepers in London say that
while Americans are rushing back before
the usual time it is a certainty they will
come back to Europe earlier next year to
spend the money they make now.
The effect of the sudden and widespread
prosperity in America is electrical in Eng
land. The face of every capitalist is turned
toward the West. Company promoters are
beginning to appear on the scene again nnd
the old familiar mines and patents are be
ginning to be talked about. One company
actually proposes to float a sapphire, ruby
and diamond mine in Montana. Who
knows but in a few weeks Loudon may be
again'in the wild fever of speculation that
brought about the recent crash?

Paeis, Sept 6. Chileans of wealth and.
distinction are very numerous in this city
and since the reception of the news from
Valparaiso they have taken to insulting
Americans, whom, in their ignorance, they
suppose to be protectors of Balmaceda.
Last night at the Cafe de la Paix there
was serious trouble between two Americans
who were yassing the evening there and
three Chileans, who provoked the Ameri
cans, and repeatedly offered them the gross
est insults. The manager of the cafe, as
sisted by a number of customers,' interfered
when the first two blows were struck, where
upon the combatants .exchanged cards, with
a view to possible duels.
A similar assault took place on Wednes
day at the Cafe des Ambassadenrs, when a
certain well-known Chilean baron insulted
in the grossest manner a New Yorker, who
was quietly dining with his wife at one of
the tables. In this case the police inter
fered, and the baron is somewhat crestfallen
at learning that he is to be prosecuted.

proceeding down tire crowded church to
hear confessions, a contractor named Myers,
a former worshiper in the church, leaped
from behind a pillar, brandishing a cane,
and began reviling the minister. He soon
added blows to words.
The women in the vicinity were panic
stricken, and it was some time before the

he was held to await the outcome of the

Philadelphia Branches
TO THE FITZGERALD CONVENTION.
A Big EeTolt -Among the Members of the
Organization There.
GOING WITH TJIii IRISH FEDEBATION
"Sri-CTAX. TELSOBAM TO THI DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, Sept 6. The officers of
the Irish National League of this city, at a
conference meeting, ignored President Fitz
gerald's circular calling for a national con
vention to be held in Chicago, on October 1.
Mr. Fitzgerald, in his circular, stated that
there was never a time when a convention
of Irish organizations was as much needed
as at present.- Parliament may soon be dis
solved and the Irish representatives need
moral aud financial aid in order to bring
about home rule for Ireland. Any Irish
society, he says, contributing $15 or up
ward to the cause of home rule is entitled
to send delegates to the convention.
Among the reasons assigned by the Irish
leaders of this city for ignoring Fitzgerald's
call are,first, that the time has not yet come
'for a convention until the Irish leaders on
the other side are united. And secondly,
the local leaders here believe that it is a
plan of Fitzgerald's and Alexander Sulli
van's to have the convention held in
Chicago, in order to have themselves
elected to offices. A. convention has been
twice called for before, first at Philadelphia
and then at Baltimore, and Fitzgerald was
the cause of.having both postponed.
John O'Callahan, Secretaryof the Muni
cipal Council of the Irish National, said to
day that not one of the 48 branches of the
Irish National League in this city would
send a delegate to Fitzgerald's convention.
There is, he added, very little funds coming
in at present, and many of the branches
have disbanded altogether, yet believe Mr.
Sutton is drawing his $1,500 a year as Secre
tary of the League in this country. '
At a meeting, of the General Corcoran
Branch of the Irish National League in
Philopatrian Hall this afternoon it was re
solved to withdraw from the Irish National
League and affiliate with the Irish federa
tion of America, of which" Dr. Thomas Ad
dis Emmett is President and Eugene Kelly
Treasurer. Hugh McCaffrey, Vice Presi
dent of the Irish League of America, de
livered a long address in praise oi the new
organization, which he declared is com
posed of some of the leading Irish
citizens and business men of New
York City. Those are , the kind
of men, he said, we want Men who
will join the organization for no personal or
ambitious motives, but simply for the cause
of a down-trodden people. Eugene Kelly,
he concluded, has been one of Ireland's best
friends. Addresses were also delivered by
P. McFadden, Thomas McFadden, C Mc
Cann and a number of others.
The General Corcoran Branch was the old
est and most influential in Philadelphia. It
was formerly known as the Parnell Branch,
but changed its name about two months ago
at the close of the Parnell-O'Shea suit It
was also stated that the other branches at
their next reculnr meeting would affiliate
with the Irish Federation.

In looking at the fine chiseled chin and

A aUNISTEE IHTE0TJBLE.
Sued for Ma rrying a Conple, the Girl Being
Under 18, as Allesed.
CAMDEN, N. J., Sept 6. Suit was insti
tuted by Joseph G. Bay against Bev. Charles
D. Sinkinson, pastor of the Memorial M. P.
Church, for an alleged violation of the mar
riage laws of the State. Judge- Howard
Carrow represents Bay in this action, and
the papers declare that Mr. Sinkinson
violated the law on June 22, when he united
in marriage Bay's daughter to John F.
Stretch, and her father declares she
was not vet 18 years of age. The
minister had no authority from him to
marry the girl and did not have her oath
that she was of proper age. All parties to
this suit arc residents of South Camden, and
the girl's friends claim the suit is brought
by her father as a piece of spite work.
Bay claims ?3,000 from Mr. Sinkinson,
which is the penalty allowed 'by law for
such violation, and half of the money
goes to the informant and the remainder
to the State. The action is a civil one
and will probabty be tried at the next
term of court, which opens in about
a month. The decision in the case in no

An
Old "War Veteran Found Dead in a
Cemetery. ,
.Catskill, N. Y., Sept a John Butler
wa? yesterday found dead on the grave
of his children in St Patrick's Ceme
tery at Jefferson -by Bev. Mr. Miller,
rector of St Luke's Church." The un
fortunate man had, the misfortune to
lose several of his children recently and was
inconsolable over his bereavement His
habit of spending all his spare time by the
little graves was so well known that though
many persons observed him lying prostrate
on the ground his attitude excited no
alarm.
Mr. Miller, who approached him to offer
some word of consolation, was shocked to
find that life was extinct, and medical ex
amination proved he had been dead for sev
eral hours. He was a member of Corcoran's
Sixty-ninth Regiment and was wounded at
BullEun. .

done to-day to hasten recovery. It was
resolved to graft from the patient's own
body, in accordance with the Thiersch:
method. A razor was specially constructed
for the' operation under the direction of
Dr. C. T. Parker.
The boy was put" under ether to-day. Dm. -Van
Bensselaer and Pa'kcr, with the assist
ance of Dr. Manning, cut twelve strips of
flesh, four inches by two, from the hoy's
thigh; five were taken irom, the left thigh
and seven from the right. These strips,
were applied to the granulated tissues of
the wound. A rubber tissue was placed 0
over the strips and over this was wound,'sw
piece ot disinfecting gauze. Over these two..
was folded a bandage of cotton. Theban-
dages will not be removed from the injured
parts for six days at least
