county Physician Cantwell Declares Point
Blank That Young Shaun \Vas Poisoned
to Death—Forced to Take Medicine.
TREN TON, Aug. 12. —County Physician
Cantwell of '1' route: 1 was the first witness
of the day in the trial of Mrs. Mattie Shaun
f or~ the murder by poison of her son in or—
der to obtain the insurance on his life. Dr.
Cantwell testified that he saw young
Shann’ s body on the day after it was mu-
tilated, and he made the postmortem ex-
amination. which resulted in his ordering
a coroner’ s inquest.
It was he who furnished the parts of the
body which were given to the experts for
chemical analysis. He had had thebody
disinterred' In order to secure certain parts
of it. The body, he said, could have been
disembéwied in 10 minutes and did not
need an expert to do it.
Dr. Cantwell 1v as asked as an expert On
the efiect of mercurial poisons on the hu-
mansystem what, in his opinion,-was the
cause of young Shaun’s death. Counsel
fer the defense fought hard to have the
question stricken out.
The court ruled against- the defense, and
the witness answered the question by say-
ing that the youth came to his death
through inflammation of the intestines
and stomach due to the presence of mer-
‘cury in them. The symptoms of Shaun
were not characteristic of any particular
disease. The patient. he thought, had re-
ceived more mercury than the “regulation
medicinal dose.
Carrie Pyatt, a colored woman who used
to work for Mrs. Shaun, said she visited
* the family about a week before John’s
death and saw him in bed. She said Mrs.

McKinley on Neal.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 12.—While on a Go-
lumbus, Akron and Cleveland train Gov—
ernor McKinley was asked his views of the
Democratic state convention and its nom-
inee for governor. The governor said that
Lawrence T. Neal was a. gentleman, and
that considering the prominent part he
had taken in the Chicago convention it
was but right and logical that he should
receive the nomination. " '.Mr Neal’s nom-
ination, ” he continued, ”means that there
will be no straddling of the tarifi ques-
tiOn. The battle will be a square. open,
clearly defined one between the party that
has declared for a stand bya protective
tariff and the party that demands a tariff
for revenue only.”

A Scheme to Be Tried In Varioua sections
by Which LaboVring llIen Whine -
Paid Whether There Is '
Currency or Not.
1
NEW YORK, ,Aug. 12.—The steamship
Normaunia, which arrived in the morning,
brought $4,500,000 in gold. The Spree
brought over from England $4,295, OOOin
gold. In London the sum. of £265,000 in
gold was withdrawn from the Bank of
England for shipment abrOad. Of this
sum 81, 200,000 is destined for the United
States and £45 ,000 for Montreal.
London bankers expect that the large
withdrawal Vof gold will cause the direct-
ors of the Bank of England to further ad-
vance the discount rate at their meeting.
on Thursday next. It was only on Thurs-
day that the directors raised the rate I per
cent France llInst surrender Gold.
Bankers say that the Bank of France
will probably have to release a portion of
its stock of American gold 00111, as the ad-
vance in the rate of discount in the open
market' In London will shift the demand
to Paris. Arrangements have been com-
pleted to import gold from Paris, and
$1000,000' having been engaged there for
shipment to this side the Bank of Ger-
.mauy has taken precautions to keep its
stock of gold intact by raising its rate of
discount to 5 per cent.
It is estimated that by Monday morning
85, 000, 000 will be added to the stock of the
yellow metal here. The assay oflice, as
usual, is giving checks for 90 per cent of
gold received in bars immediately on de-
posit of the bars. Thursday’s gold was
largely‘ 1n eagles, which were put in cirb
culation at once.
To Pay \Vith Certified Checks.
BUFFALO, Aug. 12.—Comptroller of the
Treasury Eckels, to whom a dispatch was
sent by Vice President M. B. ”Baird of the
Buffalo Furnace company, asking if it was
against the law to issue checks certified to
by national banks, to be used the same as
currency Vin making up payrolls, has sent
the following reply:
Section 5.183 prohibits national banks from
issuing post notes or any other note to circulate
as money. except such as are named by the na-
tional bank act. Your proposition appears to
suggest the drawing of checks containing cer-
tain conditions as to payment by depositors on
banks where they have deposits to their credit,
Vsuch check to be used by the depositors and
not by the bank upon which they are drawn to
other parties to which depositors are indebted.
As understood the proposition appears to in—
volve abusiness contract bet11 eon the deposio
tors and their creditors, and In my Opinion
such transaction 11 ould not constitute violation
of section 5.183, as the checks will be issued by
thedepositors andnot by the bank. As to
certification of such check by national'bank
when drawn against deposit to credit Of or
order.I can find no legal Objection. See de-
cision Merchants’ National bank versus State
National bank, Wallace county, etc.
The reply is received with the greatest
satisfaction by the Buffalo bankers, and
the method of using certified checks in $5
and $10” ”amounts and currency for less
than 55' Is expected to furnish immediate
relief. In an interview Mr. Baird said:
“It will enable' manufacturerers to find
currency tomeet .the payrolls and will
keep thousands of men in employment
who would otherwise be discharged. The
scheme is to use certified checks of the
above denominations made payable to
bearer. A large number of the biggest
manufacturers in the country have been
interested in the decision which is given .
out by the comptroller.”

The simple truth is that a domestic
event in Mr. Cleveland’s family will re-V
quire him to be at the side of his Vwife with“
in seven days, and it is scarcely decent polc
itics to drag such a delicate matter into
a rough and tumble pelitical fight. The”

The Parties Lining Up.
The parties in the senate are beginning
to' line up. There is a slight disafiection
on the Republican side on the part of afew'
silver men, but generally they have adopt?
ed the policy of annoying their opponents
in the majority by insisting upon an im-
mediate disposition of the silver question
and therefore resisting every motion to
adjourn and calling for the yeas and nays
to put the senators on record. One Of the
Republican leaders in financial matters
said that they would keep up this line of
action until the majority was obliged to
He insisted that the
Democrats could not charge the Repub-
licaus with partisan action, inasmuchas
they were simply trying to give immediate
effect to the president’s suggestions as con-
tained in his message. '
On the other hand. the Democratic sen-
ators resent the attempt of the Republicans
to control the business of the. senate and
dictate the character of legislation that
shall be attempted. They have resolved
that they will not permit actiOn until they
have themselves agreed upon a line of pol-
icy. and the conduct of the Republicans
has had the effect to consolidate all of the.
elements on the Democratic side upon this
resolution. Meanwhile the Democratic
caucus committee is in almost constant.
session trying to arranges plan of action.
and the 'keenest parliamentarians on the
Republican side are quietly conferring
among themselves to devise means to carry
out their ideas, so that the situation in the
senate promises to be interesting.
German Holds the Key.
Between now and Monday next it is
hoped by the friends of the administration
in the senate that some possible plan of
action may be agreed upon on the silver
question, but there are slender grounds for
confidence' in the developments that have
cropped out thus far. Senator German

ot only is he chairman Of the Dcmocratio
caucus, but he is also chairman of the
"steering” committee. the . committee
which he himself appointed under” the
authority of the caucus. This committee
is composed of Senators Gorman, chair-
man; Blackburn of Kentucky, Cockrell of
Missouri, Walthall of Mississippi, Ran-
som of North Carolina, Vilas of Wisconsin,”
Gray of Delaware and White of Louisiana.-
Messrs. Blackburn, Cockrell, VWalthall
and Ransom are avowed silver men.
Messrs. Vilas, Gray and White are new
edly opposed to the free coinage of silver
and stand squarely upon the president’l
platterm of unconditional repeal. But
where Senator Gorman stands no one but
himself can tell, for he has taken. no one
into his confidence.
The Repeal Blll‘Introduced. , -
V The conference of silver and antisil'v'el“
men has reached an agreement by which
general debate on a bill for the repeal of
the purchase clause of the Sherman law is
to be limited to 14 days. This will be fol-
lowed by debate for three days under the
five minute rule, when voting will begin
on the‘bill and ”various silver amendments.
If carried out, this programs will bring
the house to a veto on the bill and ameud~
ments Aug. 28. '
Mr. Wilson (Dem., W. Va.) introduced
the repeal bill immediately after the read-
ing of the journal.
It provides that so much of the not up

directs the secretary of the tr ury to

fered in' each month at the market price
thereof, not exceeding 81 for 371/ grains of
pure silver, and to issue. in payment for
such purchase treasury notes of the United
States he and the same is hereby repealed.
But this repeal shall not impair nor in
any manner affect the legal tender quality
at the standard silver dollars heretofore
mined, and the faith and credit of the
United States are hereby pledged to main-

Mr. Rayner said that what kept silver
and gold at a parity was a misplaced con-
fidence of the people, and in his opinion,- if
known, there would be’no necessity for»
the repeal of the Sherman law—it would
repeal itself. The present condition of af-

There is no obligation to coin silver, nor

While referring to the platform of the
Democratic convention Mr. Rayner was .

Rayner. He was in favor of the coin
of silver, but in view of the havoc wrougt

the Democratic platform he would vote
for its repeal with or without condition;
The president has, in so far as he can, re.

congress to do what it can to redeem those
pledges. .
