How it Passed at the Capital and Financial Centera.

No Excitement and Running to and fro, but Withal a Very Quiet Day.

However, Speculation was Ex. ceeding-ly Dull, There Being: no Change Be- gT tween Gold and

Greenbacks. *v\

AT THE CAPITAL.

Washington, January

2.—The

interest

on registered bonds, falling due vesterda), is being paid at the treasury department to-day the majority of the holders of the checks are taking legal tenders in

reference to coin checks. In New York, of checks for large amounts, however, principally banks, are taking coin checks. Treasurer Gilfillan, to day, said, ''If the experience at other points is similar to that here, nearly all of the interest remaining unpaid will go out in legal tenders." The amount that will go to New York on coin checks will be very small, indeed, compared with the amount of interest due.

SECRETARY SHERMAN

was in his Office until 4 o'clock, and appeared to be in excellent spirits. A numDer of telegrams received by him were sent over to the president. Among them was one from Assistant Treasurer Hillhouse, received early in the day, to the effect that the amount of gold demanded for United States notes was insignificant. Jusc before the close of the office one from Assistant Treasurer Hillhouse, giving the amount disbursed at $130,000, and the receipts at

$400,000,

Spas received and read with much gratification. Treasurer Gilfillan, late this a/ternoon, received the following dispatch from Assistant Treasurer Hillhouse, at New York: "A large proportion of gold checks were paid in United States notes, to-day. at the request of the holders."

The amount of interest paid at the treasury in this city, to-day, was

all of which was paid with legal tenders, excedt $2,S6I.

Secretary Sherman was in telegraphic correspondence with Assistant Treasurer Hillhouse, and other persons in New York. He received a number of telegrams during the day, and he stated that they showed everything to be quiet, as wj^s expected would be the case.

Gen. Hilhouse, United States Subtreasurer, states that resumption, so far as the working of his office was concerned, had been attended by the most gratifying success, and that "there appeared to be no demand for coin, payments there of in exchange for paper being very insignificant. Up to

000.

o'clock, the sub-

treasury had received over

$500,000

gold, in exchange for which were issued legal tenders and certificates cf deposit, while on the other hand it was estimated that the disbursements of coih for the day would not amount to over

$125,-

RESOLUTIONS OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The chamber of commerce, to-day, adopted resolutions felicitating the community upon resumption congratulating Secretary Shermara for the success of hib policy recognizing the action of the city bAnks in co-operating with the treasury, and thanking congress for the establishment of the national banking law. A resolution was also adopted calling on congress to avert the danger attending the adoption of silver as measure of values by amending the existing law, so as to further limit the coinage of the silver dollar and its use as a legal tender.

New York, Jan

2.—Flags

are flying

everywhere became of resumption vet there is nothing at the treasury, the banks, nor at any of the exchanges to make the day different from an oidinary dull day. Special arrangements sufficient to meet any demand had been made at the subtreasun, to pay out gold for legal tender notes. The clerks in charge of the new department expected to be busy, but they have very little to do, even to the close of the day's business. Reports from the leading banks agree that the amount of gold coming in to them is larger than the amount going out. Neither banks in domestic, or foreign transactions, nor foreign bankers, nor even speculators, make any difference to-day between gold and legal tender and national banknotes. In the gold room, dealings in gold have given way to dealings United States bonds, the latter being all the business now, done in that hall. 'A AT THE CLEARING HOUSE.

At the clearing house, clearings were conducted without any distinction between gold and paper. At the stock exchange the gold department was abolished, and any quotations for gold forbidden in the future. This afternoon, the gold dial, which for so many ears has indicated the changes in the gold premium, was taken down.

GREENBACKS PREFERRED. At the sub-treasurv, to-day, men who presented gold certificates answered the clerk's question, -'Gold or greenbacks?" with ''Greenbacks are good enough for me what do 1 want with gold?" One German 6aid, "Bills! bills! do you want me to lug coin around?" The clerk said two hours after he had begun paying gold out "Nobody wants it we have receivsd enormous quantities of gold certificates, and everyone of the messengers demanded cither notes of larger denominations, or clearing house certificates.

There was little division of opinion on the subject of gold as a working medium of exchange at par, and several bankers insisted that treasury gold balances would immediately increas'e instead of decreas ing. One National bank sent

$100,000

in gold to the sub-Treasury. SPECULATORS DISCOURAGED. Some of the men about the gold room, most oi whose business lives have been

identified with the traffic, lobked very much discouraged. The scene was almost laughable, as the men who had entertained the hope that there would be a bmall speculative, or at least a loan, market after to-day, eat and gazed at the word "Par," which cfood on the blackboard in the largest letters that that faithful conveyer of information would hold.

Register MersereaiT sat behind the desk which he had occupied for fourteen vears in the gold exchange and gold room, jointly, But his days work was summed up in the line,'"Gold,

A. M., IOO—

flat," for nothing had been added to it— there was hot a sale and not a quotation. At twenty minutes to twelve o'clock he said: "I've orders from the governing committee to shut Hy up shop and here goes." He dictated to the reporter: "Gold fiat at par, and no sales" then he thumped the yellow ivory keys of hisown instrument in a reluctant way, pulled the sliding cover over them, shut his desk, and as he blipped the key into his pocket, added "There you've seen the end of it. Nobody wants gold, and those who wants to sell it can get cash at the banks or treasury."

The great event of resumption was celebrated at

o'clock this morning bv

a salute at the navy yaid, and as the first gun Bounded, the American flag was flung to the breeze from all the government buildings.

in gold was paid out by

the banks, to-day. In nearly every case the gold wa9 wanted as a novelty, customers generally preferring currency.

AT PHILADELPHIA,

Philadelphia, Jan.

2.—Resumption

specie payments here caused no stir whatever. Inquiry at prominent banks showed that the demand for gold up to noon was very limited. At the office of the assistant treasurer gold is not heing paid out, except for interest and government obligations, the whole business of resumption, for the present, being centered at New York. "COIN CERTIFICATES.

To meet the inconvenience io merchants caused by the discontinuance of the issuing of coin certificates, it has been determined to issue such certificates for the special purpose of paying customs duties until Congress can act upon the matter.

New-York, January

3.—Up

40,000

$20,000,

to noon

at sub treasury, about $11,000 of legal tender notes had been presented for gold while

gold certificates have been

exchanged for legal tender notes. Washington, Jan. 3.—

A.t a meeting of

the cabinet, to-day, the members were much pleased with incidents connected with resumption narated by the assistant secretary of the treasury. The President expressed his satifacMon with the rusulf and predicted a more general return prosperity to the country. The question of refunding the National debt was dia cussed as at present the principal financial aim of the treasury. The large sub-criptions to the four per cent, bonds was considered a good indication of success. The Chinese question was brigfly discussed and it was decided that the secrefary of st&te should open a negotiation with the Chinese government.

FIRE AT ST. LOUIS. X! .V

ONE OF HER FINEST CHURCHES AND THE MOST ELEGANT SCHOOL BUILD" ING IN THE CITY IN FLAMFS

St. Loui6, Jan.

2.—The

Second

Baptist church, Rev. W. W. Boyed pastor, corner Beaumont and Locust streets took fire between

and

o'ejpek this morning and is now burning furiously with a good prospect of being wholly destroyed. Mary institute, a branch of Washington university, situated on the opposite corner is now said to be on fire in the roof and upper story. All the scholars got out of the building safely. Both buildings are entirely new an.d among the finest in the city. The church has not yet been dedicated. Weather intensely cold, the mercury standing iS degs. below zero, and the firemen labor under great disadvantages.

St. Louis, January 4.—Second dispatch: The fire is now fullv under con trol and nothing remains of the church except the walls. The entire inside, the roof and spire being totally destroyed. The church cost about

$175,000,

and was

of roueh hewn stone, and one of the finest, most imposing edifices in the city. Loss estimated

$100,000.

Insured for

St. Louis, Jan. 3.—The Mary Institute is only very slightly damaged in the roof. A few hundred dollars will cover the loss. The origin of the fire is not definitely known Gas fitters, painters, stucco workers and others were working in the building, some of whom had braziers from which it i6 supposed the fire started.

A GREENBACK MEETING AT BOSTON. Boston, Jan. 2.—About one hundred delegates of the Greenback party from the several New England states met here to-day. A resolution favoring the forming of some Greenback organization in which all the New England states shall be represented was adopted.

Wendell Phillips made an address, in which he said he had endeavored to form a labor party, and it could not be done, and he was glad of it.

A committee reported the following plan of organization that a committee of one from each congressional district be appointed, who, together with the chairman and the secretary of the state central committees shall constitute the executive committee of the union. Alio, that the name of Greenback-Labor party ot New England be given to the organization. A resolution was adopted that the paramount issue in the GreenbackLabor movement is the immediate substitution of greenbacks for national bank currency. Adjourned.

THE management of the Illinois Midland railway has decided to move the general offices to this city. The headquarters are over Buntin & Armstrong's drug store which is a first-class place. Paris is in mourning.

THURSDAY, Jan. 9th, the Mannerchor gives another social at Turner Hall. If the last one is to be taken as an example there can be no doubt that the coming event will be very pleasant.

THE EXPLOSION.

The Coroner's Jury Returns a Verdict

OfOeatli by Accidental Explosion the

Cause ot Which is Un-

known.

From Friday's Daily.

The 'nque6t over the dead bodies of Hughes and Day was not completed in time for yesterday's issue. It is appended below,

EUGENE BRETNEY SWORN. Has charge of the men and machinery on the flower floor of the distillery. When the explosion occur ed was on the east side of the alcohol kettle. Cannot tell how the accident ozcutred. We have a man, Mr. McMaless, especially employed to attend to the water. Was probably

feet east of the boilers

when thev exploded. Witness tettified in regard to the death of William Day and Frank Hughes, by hot water and flying missiles.

Question. Who was near the boilers when they exploded? A. Herman Myers was near them also Mr. McMaless was only a short distance from them^

What do you know as to the con

dition of the boilers? A. I was there only ten or fifteen minutes before. Saw the gauges, and thev showed plenty of water.

What was the cause of the acci-

dent? A. Can not tell.' Was not near enough when it happened tQ, ^e jable

JQ. What do you know about the tupply of water that was in the boilers?

A. I saw the guages only a minute or two before the explosion. Had just examined them, stepped down and walked avvav. The guages were both flush. When the accident happened I did not think the boilers had bursty and could not believe it for some time went around to see what was the matter with the new boilers, and found no bo'lers there.

Q. Was there anv one else in the boiler room besides those that have been named?

A. Yes, 1 saw three or four others shortly before, but cannot say positively that they were there at the time of the accident. Can give no idea as to what could have been the cause.1 I at first made fun of the boys for running, telling them that only a joint was blown out.

Witness had been working at the distillery over twenty-two years. EUGENE BRKTNEY.

Recalled. Tettified that the boilers were new. Care had been taken to have an extra quality of iron in them. They were built bv Cliff & Son, who are experienced and reliable men. The boilers had been regarded as pefectly safe.

HERMAN MEYERS.

Saw McMaless try the guage cock jtM before the explosion stood just behind him. There were three gauges on the boilers, and two of them showed water when McMaless tried them. He and I started out, and when we were betweeri No. 2 and

N0.3

I returned. Told Wil

liam Day—fireman of No.

who was

killed—that I was going to clean out the furnace. I started to get the poker. Just as I got to the west side of the smoke stack the explosion occurred. I was blown through at window, and landed about thirty feet away, near tne end of the fermenting room. I was seven or eight feet from Day when she went off. We fired at the south end of the west boilers. We regarued them as safe.

J. A. PARKER.

Am a machinist, proprietor of the Eagle iron works. Have examined the boilers at the distillery. The flues I ex amined especially. The flues are broken into a number of pieces. The form of the broken sections remaining are as perfect as when made, and therefore do not give any evidence ot having been burned or overheated. Tne boilers which exploded were new. Usually when an explosion occurs far the want ot water, the flues collapse more or less aod are found to be out of their pet feet shape. The foreman of our establishment helped to set the boilers. We made all the castings and connections for them.

CRAWFORD FA IRBBNKS.

Am partner of the firm of Hulman & Fairbanks. The boilers that exploded had been in use about eight weeks. We employ two engineers, and two men to watch" the water. These take turns, there being one man always on duty especially to look after the water and do nothing else. The boilers were made from "C. H. No. 1." iron, of Co,000 pounds tensile strength, the best that can be had. We employ competent and experienced engineers.

VERDICTS.

The jury brought in a verdict on each of the deceased as follows: FRANK HUGHES.

and

when I heard the noise. 1 moved quickly toward the engine room. The smoke got so dense I could not see. I got with my boy and several oiher men. We crowded together and I fell on my knees, but then got into the engine room. I tried to blow the whistle, but could not, as it would not work told the engineer there must be something wrong. Went back and shut off all the throttle valves I could.

Witness testified as to the death of Frank Hughes and Willfam Day. Did not see Hughes, but saw Day as I passed the boilers, lie was as close as I am from this stove (indicating three or four feet). He had the shovel in his hand when it occurred. He was a firtman.

He has Something to say in Reference to Temperance Agitation.

Aud Discusses lite Question of Narrowness ill **11 its Pbuscs.

From Saturday's Daily.

To the Editor of^tho GAZETTE: Owing to a circumstance, I have

(till

now had no opportunity of replying to '•T. T." on the temperance question Not that I allow a reply to be necessary, for he introduces no new or weighty ar gument, but that I desire a little space in which to dwell on one inyiortant point, which he indirectly brings up, and which is really at the bottom of the whole, matter. That point is the subject of

NARROWNESS.

When men arc "narrow," it is not from choice, but because they can't help it. A near-sighted person can not view the tall mountain peaks to save his life. A hog in acorn field gathers the few scattered grains, but on account of its stiff neck and its natural distaste toward observing any thing higher up than the bristlej on its back, it has no idea of the great ears of corn hanging plentifully on the stalks just above it.

Again, I once saw a drunken fellow who hotly maintained that he was perfectly sober, and that everybody he saw was as drunk as

,(a

biled owl." In like

manner, every "narrow" man accuses other people of being narr jw, imagining that he only is taking a bird's eye view.

To come to-the point. T. T. and Mr Bacon una the Congregational Church are "narrow." They are as narrow in their way as an old-time Scotch'Calvinist is in his. They want to limit and hamper and tie down the temperance work to the old-fashioned straight-laced plan—that detestable old style, in which a man to be a good temperance advocate must keep howling at drunkards anu to be a good Christian, must be always bemoaning the sinfulness of the world. All over the country the masses of the people have latterly taken a great stride toward meeting each other rifeing to a broad and noble charity that recognizes every fellow being as a man, whether he wears rags or broad-cloth standing against weakness and sin on a common level, in which the fine Christian gentleman was right alongside the drunkard he sought to save. Yet here in Terie Haute is thic "temperance man," T. T„ who casts odium upon the Murphy movement because it is not perfect in result this. Christain minister, Mr. Bacon, who upholds moderate drinking and this congregation'of Christains,whose fine house is too sacred for one of those gatherings of the common rabble—a temperance meeting. T. T. 6ays 1 am "bigotted!'' Yes, and the peacdck very properly pecks at those proud little up-st&ru, the ducks "Narrowness" is what more than any thing el«e drags at the progress of religion and of every reform. A mailed knight can laugh at the arro.vs of Indians, but he can't fight well when his own arm is rheumatic. The Deople have shaken off the old prejuice in a remarkable degree of late, and the cause of teetotal temperance is just now merely resting after its recent fine run. The next temperance wave will be something astonishing and overwelming, for everything is ripe for it. But if the apostles of the old grooves get a grip on this tender little sprout of moral culture, they'll freeze the very life out of it.

SLUG SEVEN.

DIED.

Mr. David OVen, formerly of the firm of Scott, Oren & Co.. died on last Saturday night, Dec.

28,1878,

at Battle Moun

tain, Nevada. He was superintenpent of the btacksmithing department on the United States Mail line in Nevada, now under the supervision of Frank Cluggage, but lecently owned by Tuller & Cluggage. Mr. Oren had been in their employment for almost five years. His death was caused by a kick in the head from a horse. His remains could not be brought here on account of the railroads being blookaded with snow and he was, theretore, interred at Battle "Mountain, Nevada. It was impossible for his wife to go

see him. Besides

his wife ha leaves one son about twelve years of age. His family live on north Thirteenth street.

Mr. Oren was an oJd and very respectable citizen of this place and was a good business man. The heart-felt sympathies of this community are with*the bereaved widow and son.

The south wind comes very timely. The mercury has fallen so low the past three days, that no decent person can speak to N with any respect.
