The conductor of car No. 131 of the Grand street, when she got on, his car at 9 o'clock this morning, and only one fare got on. But a few minutes later, when the blushing and very much agitated oonductor rang the bell for a stop at Broadway, two passengers were assisted from the car and were taken a little later to St. Vincent's hospital. Certainly a child never selected a more novel place or occasion for making its debut in the world than Baby spingle, and no case is on record of a street car conductor having his passenger list enlarged in this fashion.

PACIFIC PUBLISHIM CO. ST. LOUIS MO. 1 i in Doings of the Outs'de World Caught and Distributed By Telegraph, Tree Coinage-Express Robbers Caught-A Mother Sells Her Child, Free Coinage. Washington, Feb.

3. The house committee on coinage, weights and measures today examined Director Leech of the mint on the silver coinage question. Mr. Leech said his minimum estimats of the production of Siluer in the United States during last year was 58,000,000 ounces; official estimates would probably exceed that amount. lie said that deducting the amount used in arts and sciences the American product would be less than the government purchases.

The amount of currency in circulation in the United States he said was 124.50 per capital; this larger than in any country except France. Mr. Stone asked "la there in your judgement any lack of circulating medium in this country 1" Mr. Leech replied: sir, the New York banks hold about idle money over and above their reserves." Mr. Williams called attention to the fact that Leech had said there was no country except the United States where notes were based on silver alone and asked if European countries and the United States were not on the same basis in this respect? Mr.

Leech admitted that this was eo, and said there as in Europe notes were based on both gold and Bilver. Mr. Williams asked if he regarded the issuance of silver certificates to circulate instead of silver dollars as any obstacle to free coinage? Mr. Leech replied in the negative and said he thought the notes prefer able. Mr.

William inquired why Leech thought the silver coins of other countries would be dumped here if we adopted free coinage. Mr. Leech '1 think European silver would come here in shiploads just as fast as it could be brought in. I think the banks of France would send a large part of its 5258,000,000 of silver here. Belgium would do the same." Mr.

Williams wanted to know if silver coin could be dumped here when it was needed abroad for cir- culations in countries having it. Express Robbers Sentenced. Norton, Jan. 9. 0.

J. Bur- well and William Burwell, on trial here for the robbery of the Pacific ex press at Lenora, on the night of October 28 last, were both sentenced to-day to the penitentiary. The former for five years as an accessory, and the latter as one of the principals who fpleaded guilty to the charge, gets two years. He makes a confession in which he gives away a band of thieves who have been operating in Northwest Kansas for the last ten years. James Burwell, the acknowledged leader of the band, and the principal in this robbery, is now at large having broken jail in an adjoining county a short time since, where he was being held on a former charge of horse stealiug.

By the sending of O. Burwell to the penitentiary the band will be greatly weakened, as he provided a rendezvous for them, and has been the instigator of all their depredation. Pandemonium. Kansas City, Feb. 9.

The Journal's Guthrie special says: The past forty-eight hours have witnessed scenes of the wildest excitement at El Reno, which outrival anything ever 6een in the territory. That town is built on the claim of Major For-enrc, al! residents of the place having bought their lots of him. So, when Secretary Noble decided last Satur day that Forman's title to his claim was void, it left every piece of prop erty in town at the mercy of vandals, for nobody had any valid title to the property. News of the decision did not reach El Beno until yesterday, but when it did get there the town went wild First the loafers began jumping lots, others followed suit, and soon ail business was suspended. The court officers rushed from their offices and joined the mob, which by night fall bad become wild and unruly.

Governor Seay telegraphed the sheriff and other officers to dispersed ery thing possible was done by the excited mob to drive the orderly ele ment out and give the jumpers pos session of all the property town. Many citizens telegraphed the gov ernor that their property was being destroyed and their lives endangered and demanding that troops be sent to protect them. United States Marshal Grimes has ordered all his deputies to the scene to protect the people and Secretary Noble has been wired as to the coudition of affairs, and he will probably order troops from Fort Beno to proceed to the scene ol dis order. The feeling at El Beno is running very high tonight and trouble is like ly to occur at any moment, as the lot jumpers have been joined by the worst element from all the country around. Governor Seay says the lives of or derly people and their property must be protected, and has issued orders accordingly.

The lot jumpers will gain nothing ia the end, as the property holders who have improved their property, will get their titles regardless of the possession now claimed by the jump ers. 1 An Inhuman Woman. Schuyler, Feb. 5. A terrible case of inhumanity was brought to light today at the village of Rogers, seven miles east of here, which resulted in the arrest of Cora Wheitner for cruelly beating Mary Walkr, a little girl about 8 years of age.

The facts learned are that Wheit ner and his wife took the child last November to bring up as they had none of their own, and soon after Mrs. Wbitner commenced a series of beatings which seem to have been regularly administered. The child is now in a precarious condition and the physicians cannot say as to her probable recovery. The body of the child is a complete mass of bruises, the flesh on its back being in almost a solid pulp. The muscles of one arm are fractured and the doctors think the bone is also fractured.

One eye is closed, its lips cut, jaw bruised and scalp injured. The child says the woman has been in the habit of tying her to the bed with baling wire to whip her, and then leave her tied for half a day at a time. The last beating she received was yesterday, and it was done with a bed slat, when some of the citizens saw her and went to the rescue of the child and tiled the complaint which caused the arrest. The village was excited to the highest pitch and strong measures were talked of, but better judgment prevailed. The little one kept calling for food, and when asked if she was hungry she said the woman gave her hardly anything to eat.

The trial was continued, bonds being fixed in the sum of $500, which she was unable to furnish, and i3 now in the custody of the sheriff. The feeling here is very strong against her, as the punishment is inadequate for the injury inflicted. Young Wife in Durance Vile. Buffalo, N. Feb.

storv of the elopement of Bessie Chaffee two weeks ago with Charles Stowell, a young Springfield dude, still furnishes material for gossipers. The young lady's father obliged her to accompany him to Rochester last week, and he there applied to the Convent of the Sacred Heart to have her placed under the charge of the sisters, but admission was refused ker on the ground that she is a married woman. She was taken also to the state industrial school, but as she had committed no crime the angry parent was unsuccessful there, too. Then he took the girl home, and today she was sent to an eastern seminary. The young husband declares that he will follow his young wife and rescue her.

He will shortly come into a fortune of $30,000. For the last three weeks Miss Chaffee has been kept a prisoner in her father's house. The father's attempt to have the marriage annuled was unsuccessful. He wears that his daughter shall never live with her hasband. Wanted to be Hanged.

Lrt'onght to light through testimony in the divorce case of Mary Jackson igainst illiam Jackson, tried in the circuit court here today. The plaintiff was but 14 years of age when she was married to the defendant, who is past 30, in East St.

Louis two years ago. She is white and the man she called husband is black. Her mother forced her to marry Jackson, the lat ter offering to pay off a mortgase of $100 on a house owned by the woman She was literally sold for cash, and evidently looked upon her as an in vestment as he took ker to St. Louis and forced her into a life of shame in the lowest dives. This was shown in the evidence given before Tudge Vail, who tried the case without a jury.

The divorce was granted. Saw the Babies Married. Decatur, 111., Jan. 21. William P.
