They sclt 'forth thait if the -United State«3 shtou'd alti'ne attempt free' coinage of silver a't thait latto, gold1 would' be hoarded to awla.i't a premium 'or be teWpiped to foreign Countries, and silver aiione would remain as a ci'ncuKit'ng medium.

The man In t'he oase is not entireffiy unldniawin to the comrt officials. Some years ago bis firtst wtfe died, leaving bitjp a litJtle girt. Tt is sacd that a khfort time atfterwarde be beciaime Involved with a Woman and deeded h!» praperty to his Utile daughter., Some iime ago he sought to regain possession blithe proipexty and had a guardian aiptpon/teld for the child. Wlhen the giuardlian sol/di the property by tihe ordpEjaf the dourt, Ootmlbs, it. is gar.d, sent la.a bail for keeping his own child wfaUah covered almost the entire amOuinit received from the sale. Wi'tih some reluioteunioe tlhe dourt granted the bill. Ala avrasuit the liltltl'e girl was sent to the omphlanls home. Sloime very shiady reports came fronn Swaffbrdsvilie ctonoerning the oondiulcit otf the (father. AJbiowt a year ago he rented a houtse on North Foufth street otf Miss Saraih Blinn and contradteld tlo do the repair work on the property owned by her. Sltuce thait flume rumors have been In citfculat'ilon in that neigbibOrhood ooncferning Comlbs and Miiss Blinn. It is eaid that so strong was Combs' influence over the w^tman she often left her own hbme and wewt over to oook bis meaffls. Sbe paid bis biii'ls and carried him deC-icaicies. She would stay at his pfooe until late at night, while her sl&ter woulld sit and aft tfrie gate weeping betoaxise of her conduct. Repealtediy during th69 period the elder sister'has tried to break this attaci.iment, but ais she clalimis, has only received curses from Coimlbs, wfc«2e* her sister aacvused her otf meddling. Miss Charlotte says She toild Sara'h "K she wanted to marry the fei'-Ciw to marry him right here in Terre Haute instead oif minmiing awiay." But in sf 'te otf thes? pleadinigts the pair began to get re'ady to move. Same weeks ago the intfatiuated wcmian mortigaged her property on the worth!west corner o£ Third and Chierny flor $300 and, St is dlaamed, purchased Camte two n«w suiiits of clothes. Thfe douple intended leaving the city y&slte'rday morninig &Tr Chiidago, but the eiloipement w'as nipped in the bud by •the sister. *Phe nellghlbons are very indignant.

,|OUND MONEY DEMOCRATS.

Active In Organizing the State—Movement is Growing. Indianapoil'isi, July 30.—The sound money (Democrats of Indiana have begun their work of organizing the state with vigor and enthusiasm. At a meeting of the sound money league this morning Samuel O. Pickens of this city was elected chairman of the state committee and a member was selected to represent each district. This committee will be announced as soon as the members have beencommunioatd with and the organization will tnen be spread out to each county in the state and finally to each precinct. The league also took the first steps toward organizing Marion county by electing Allen W. Conduitt, one of the most prominent Democrats of the city, county chairman.

W'ill

begin at once the work jpf se-

lecting a (Democrat to represent each precinct on the county committee. The sound money sentiment has been growing rapidly in this county and those in charge of the movement say that a sound money Democratic ticket will get almost if not quite as much support here as the "PopocratLs" ticket nominated at Chicago.

John R. Wilson, the Indiana member of the (National Sound Money committee had a pile of letters before him this afternoon representing every district in the state. "It is surprising," he said, "how this movement is growing. The other day a Democrat said to me, speakiiig of a certain county where the greenback craze had been pronounced that we would probably not •find any sound money Democrats in that county. Now here is a letter from one little town in th&t county giving the anames of twenty old-line (Democrats in one town who are itf'farvor of a sound money ticket. In all tthe correspondence growing out of thfe organization of the state I have not received a letter that is not encouraging."

SuJttma, Ind., July 10.—The mixing property of the Old Pittrfburg Coal Oo., at Hymera, wlis wtiiped out by fire early tMa m»rning. The loss Will reach $150,000 with email inaturance.

Thfe action niorw seems to have been dtailply an en'dettvor on tihe pa^t of thtotee not selected t"o fire tlhe mines to get home and be alWe to prove an alibi.

PRESIDENT KNIGHT'S VIEWS.

Thinks the Whole' Tronble Dae to the Agl. tatioji of Hot Heads. President (Knight, of the Miners' State organization, last evening talked of the action of the miners at" Hymera. "•No one," said he, "could be more shocked than I when I saw it in the evening papers, had been out of the city and did not return until late this Evening, hence I know absolutely nothing of the affair -outside of reading it in the papers. I haye spent several days at Star C.'ty, Jackson Hill, Alum Cave and Shelbura and know that the large majority of the miners are opposed to violence. I am very sorry to hear that the Hymera mine -shaft .and buildings being burned because they were up to date. It included an entire electric light plant, used to illuminate .the mine. It has entailed a^loss of many thousands •of dollars to the operators. Let me say this one thing and that is, I am against violence at all times and I think it hurts our cause more than anything else." Mr. Knight gave it as his opinion that •the riot was the result of a few hotheaded agitators that can not be controlled.

Sheriff Mills' Pecnllar Action. Word dames from SuOlivan to the etftfect that the citizens of Hyimera are highlly indignant over the inativity otf Sheriff Millls. It is said he is making no 'attempt to catch the men who fired the pSant. It is said an attorney for the coal company met Sheriff .Q's on the streets yesterday and told the official what he thought otf him.
