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

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

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.".. II.,
