WUUIn 3 wwksaiu-r money Is out, see If the dute H thans-ed. No other receipt Is neowaarv.. Leiianok, Pa., September Oth. G. Dawson Coleman, a prominent citizen of this plnce and president of the state board of publlo charities, died at his res idence here this afternoon. It Is reported that a well-known firm of manufucurers In Newark, N. J., who were singled out by Dennis Kearney as a proper target for his vituperation, have determined to test the liberty of speech which penults a ranting black guard to defame whomsoever he may see fit, by bringing a libel suit against him. The Maine Election. The result of the election In Maine is rather surprising to all parties. The Republicans are beaten and so are the Democrats, the Greenback party hav ing secured enough votes to throw the election for State officers into the Legis lature. The Republicans lose two mem bers of Congress, the Greenbackers and Democrats combining In two dis tricts. The House stands now, 05 Repub licans and 2 Democrats supporting the Republicans, 21 Democrats and 58 Greenbackers. Five are not reported of which two are known to be Greenback ers. This makes it 07 Republicans to 81 opposition. It is a question If some of the hard money Democrats may not affiliate with the Republicans. A charge of fraud In ward 4 of Portland leaves a chance to change four votes to the Republicans. That may give the Republicans a majority on the joint bal lot and permit them to elect their Slates officials, but it is hardly probable. One of the peculiarities of the election Is shown by the following figures. Last year in Maine the Republicans polled 53,031 votes ; this year they polled 57,000 votes ; gain, 3,031. Last year theDemo crats polled 42,114 votes ; this year they polled 28,000; loss, 14,114 votes. It will thus be seen that the Greenback vote was largely obtained from the Demo crats in that state, while In other sec tions of the Country the Republican party is expected to furnish the Green back vote. It seems certain that the " Nationals" are to be a positive, but as yet an unknown power in the elections this fall. Financial Facts. The following few facts may be inter esting reading for those who say the cause of hard times Is lack of money, and who consequently insist upon an increase of the circulating medium : The indebtedness of the nation cul minated on the 31st of August, 1805. At that time the aggregate of currency in circulation was, in round numbers, S636,000,000,having a gold value of $440, 000,000. The total interest bearing debt on that day was $2,381,000,000 expressed in thousands,on which the annual inter est charge was $150,977,000 similarly ex pressed. From that period to the pres ent time the policy of steadily reducing the debt has been pursued, accompanied by a steady reduction of taxes and cur rent expenses. Adding the non-inter-est-bearlng debt to the aggregate above given, we owed on the 1st of August, 1865,the enormous sum of $2,757,689,000. On the first day of June of the pres ent year the aggregate of currency in circulation was, in round numbers, 5S7, 000,000, having a gold value of 581,000, 000. During this period of thirteen years the reduction of the interest-bearing debt was $571,852,000, accompanied by a reduction of taxation amounting to $247,521,000, and of annual interest charge amounting to $55,796,000. A marked coincident of this reduction of indebtedness, taxation and interest charge was the appreciation of the cur rency dollar from 09.2 cents, its value in gold August 1, 1865, to 99.1 cents, its value in gold June 1, 1878. President Hayes on the Currency. Madison, Wis., Sept. 10. The Presi dent received a hearty reception here to day. In the course of his speech at the fair grounds he said : Some of our good friends think that our currency is not cheap enough. They tell us they want currency cheaper than gold and silver, and of such quality that it will be good at home although it may not be good abroad. Truly that must be a very de sirable quality in currency a currency that will always stay by you. The champions of this currency tell us what they ought to have a species of paper which by act of Congress Bbould say one L N I 'iiiwiwiMsisiisiiiiiMiiiMisiHiiiiPiiMiiiMiMiBiMiiiMiiiiiiisiT s si 1 ii1 -nil ismiiiiiwiw mAmmum0ammmC9mmmmmvnmHmmmmmMmmti mu i a m i n i m mi n mm t iwpmws two imm niwpmwwiuwMi mmmm wsr w ii mm i m mte i ummum ww wsmhiimiwiiiwimiI'i m m m m mu mm m- mn nm,, uihiii ,m mmnr dollar upon it, and be worth one dollar in this country. Of course we do not want It counterfeit, they say, but I, am afraid it would not be a great while after it was issued before It would not be of sufficient Value to be counterfeited (ap plause and laughter). They say they want good currency. With us that means a coin dollar. We khow what such a dollar costs ; that if represents a day's work or a bushel of wheat. Does a paper dollar represent any such Unit of labor ? No. The cost of Its production is less than one cent for each dollar bill. Herein we certainly have a great saving a saving of nine-ninety cents In labor over the silver or gold dollar. After further Illustrating the subject, the Pres ident concluded as follows : We should remember that the necessities of trade with foreign nations require that our financial condition should be based upon principles whose soundness and wisdom are sanctioned by the universal experi ence and judgment of mankind. Bal ances must be settled in cash, In the money of the world. With diminished and still decreasing burdens of public debt, expenditures and interest ; with an Improved condition of currency and for eign trade, we may Biirely predict that we are about to welcome better times. But we must not forget that the surest foundation of a restored financial pros perity Is a sound constitutional currency and the national credit untarnished. Yellow Fever In Ohio. Cixcinnati, September 11. There was another death from yellow fever at Galllpolls, Ohio, yesterday, thatof Mr. Joseph Martin, who was a watchman on the steamer Porter. He was taken sick on Saturday. His body was not permitted to be removed from the house, and the neighbors would not allow his wife to leave her home, rhysicians will make an effort to bury him to-day. There is a pretty general scare in that region over these deaths. Three new cases are reported. All the public schools were closed yesterday, and fires of coal tar have been burning the last twenty four hours at the terminus of every street opening ou the river. Many citi zens are leaving, and business and travel are almost suspended. Cairo, 111., September 12. Thomas Nally, editor of the Bulletin, died to day of what physicians pronounced at the last moment to be yellow fever. Isaac Mulkey, an employee of the Bul letin, Is very low with the same com plaint. The Bulletin this morning re ported Mr. Nally as recovering from bilious fever, and until noon this was believed to be the fact. The announce ment of these cases as yellow fever cre ated great excitement and many are leaving the city to-night. Proper pre cautions have been taken to prevent the spread of the infection. The publica tion of the Bulletin has been temporarily suspended. No other cases are yet re ported. It is stated that a very malignant type of fever has broken out at New Richmoud, Ohio, a small town twenty miles from Cincinnati up the river. Of six or seven persous attacked up to this time five have died. The wife of Rev. Dr. Lowe and a servant girl of the next door neighbor died on Tuesday. Short ly after the wife and sister of Mike McGlone, where the servant died, were attacked and died. A daughter of Dr. Kincald was attacked, but recovered.' The patients turn yellow and before they die present the peculiar symptoms of black vomit. The physicians pro nounce the disease bilious fever, how ever. 63 A New Orleans special dispatch says: The undertakers report nine nine deaths for the twenty-four hours ending at 6 P. M. There appears to be difficulty in getting the dead buried. At At Elmwood for single Interments trenches have had to be dug and coffins placed in rows very close together. The same is done at Potter's Field. Among to-day's dead are Dr. Venable, Ben Coleman and J. J. Sullivan, of Flaherty & Sullivan,undertakers. Hugh Torrence, an old citizen and possessed of considerable property died to-day, and owing to the absence of friends was about to be burled In the Potter's Field among the . paupers, when one of the Howards interfered and had him inter red in Elmwood. Among those taken down, however, are Jessie W. Page, P. W. Slmmls and E. W. Foster, members of the Howard Association. Fever Incidents. , A Memphis paper says : One of the remarkable features of the disease Is it that whole families have been swept out of existence father, mother, and chil dren have followed each other in rapid succession to the grave, and in several Instances several members of the family are lying dead at the same time, having died almost within the sama hour. This has been the case in several instances in what is known as the infected dis trict. The list of new cases reported shows that several members of the same family have been stricken down almost in the same instant, and thus become totally dependent upon the nurses fur nished by the relief . societies. These are only a few new features of the pre vailing epidemic never experienced in any preceding visitation. ', ' "' ' A Coal Pit on Fire. : ' London, September 11. A frightful colliery explosion occurred , to-day at Abercarne near Newport, in Monmouth shire. , There were 871 men in the plt,80 of whom have been resdued. ' It is fear ed that no others have survived, as the pit Is on fire. London, September 11. Ten more men have been taken out alive from the colliery at Abercarne, but they were much burned and the dead body of one boy has been recovered. The fute of the remainder may be judged from the fact that the explorers found fourteen horses dead only a few yards from the foot of the shaft. The air in the mine was found to be very impure. Silver Bullion Shipments. New York, September 11. Twenty two tons of fine silver, amounting to $800,000, were shipped this morning from the United States assay office to the Philadelphia mint for the coinage of silver dollars. Total amount of ship, ments to date from 24th of July, $2,-100,000. Editor Sued for Libel. Mauch Chunk, Pa., September 9. Joseph Lynn, editor of the Mauch Chunk Democrat, was sued for libel to day, by Robert Klotz, on account of charges against the latter, who Is a can didate for Congress In this district. tW Boston, September 10. The Dem ocrats of this city held caucuses laBt eve ning for the election of delegates to the State Convention. In nenrly every ward Butler delegates were chosen. The gen eral complexion of the entire Boston del egation is said to be decidedly in favor of Butler. Johnstown, N., September 9. Mrs. Lucius Smith, a bride of two weeks, died very suddenly last evening from an overdose of oil of tansy taken to produce an abortion. An inquest was held to day. , OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, September 12, 1878. A picnio on a grand scale and of several days duration was given last week by the Butchers of this city, in the form of a barbecue, the scene of action being Schuebzen Park, tbe Germans' pleasure ground, a mile or two out of town. The entertainment furnished substantial as well as pleasing amusement, In that each day bullocks and oxen were roasted whole, and distributed free to the hungry ones pres ent This Park Is fitted up for pleasure par ties better than any other in town, having eating houses, swings, bowling-alleys, dancing pavilions, and other good time ac cessories. It is owned, and for the most part used, by a Germau Sohuetzen Verien but is occasionally rented for some such purpose as that mentioned above. Another of our popular pleasure reports iB the swimming school. It is a recent es tablishment only having been In operation a few weeks, but it bids fair to become a favorite as well as a healthful place of re sort. One serious accident has already oc curred there, owing to carelessness on the part of the victim, however. The bottom of tbe pond is a concreted inclined plane, tho water being 8 feet deep at its shallow est and 8 feet at its deepest. . Wejare having most delightful weather since the three uncomfortably warm days that saw August out and ushered Septem ber in. On the whole our summer has been a quite a bearable one for this climate. President II ayes has recently made the longest speech he has indulged in since his inauguration. His Western trip has been one of much distinction and elate through out. Tbe party consisted of ten or a doz en persons, congenial, friendly, famous. They traveled, of course, in a special pal ace car with every accommodation for com fort and convenience possible. The excur sion must needs be enjoyable. People who are not over friendly towards the Adminis tration do say that Mr. Hayes possesses neither originality of thought nor oratori cal ability, and that his late Bpeech was but a rehash of Secretary Sherman's re port. However, nobody denies that tbe President's party has been enthusiastical ly received at all bis stopping places. And a little episode that occurred in Minnesota the other day pleasantly illustrated how the very extremes of American society as well as the grades between, are interested and earnestly trying to help the fever-suffering South. The President came upon tbe platform, at one of his receptlons,wlth a bible in his band which be informed tbe crowd was the only possession of a poor man who wanted to contribute something for tbe yellow fover sufferers. . It wa's sold on the spot for one hundred dollars where upon the throng of people shouted loud for the appearance of the lady purchaser and she was obliged to rise in her seat and bow ber acknowledgments for tho appreciation of her generosity, ; i . i , . , . OUVE. Be Ye Like Foolish. ' " For ten years my wife was confined to her bed with such a complication of ail ments that no dootor could tell what was tbe matter or cure her, and 1 used up a small fortune in humbug stuff. Six or seven months ago saw a U. S. flag with Hop Bitters on it, and I thought I would be a fool once more. I tried it, but my folly proved to be wisdom. Two bottles eured ber, nnd she is now as well and strong as any man's wife, and it only cost me two dollars. Be ye like foolish."..

Dcndab, September 9.

The burglars escaped. New Yokk, September 9. The total liabilities of tbe Oxford iron company, of New Jersey, will not exceed $1,000,000, of which $250,000 is due the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western railroad company, which is fully covered by mortgages. The company's loss will be very slight,' if any. Buffalo, September 10. While a num ber of men were constructing a new dry dock at the Union cry dock wotks a der rick which they were using broke down, owing to a defect of tbe iron. The whole apparatus fell upou the workmen in the pit, killing one man and injuring five others, two of them fatally. E3F" The mayor of Manchester, Englaud, has received a telegram from the British consul at New Orleans, asking help for the yellow fever sufferers.
