II MOTHER'S TERRIBLE CRIME Administers Strychnine. to Her Chil dren and Parlafces of It Herself, PROMPTED BY MELANOHOLY Ter.lble SIght Presented to the Husband and Father Vpon Ilia Return from Work. Associated Press. Spokane, June 13. A double tragedy occurred near Spange fourteen miles from here, yesterday. Mrs. James Klr- kendall, the young wife of an Indus tlrous farmer, and her four-year-old daughter, are the, victims. The story Is told by the deceased woman's six- year-old son. The boy says hla mother mixed strychnine with sugar and water and gave it to him and his little sister and then took some herself. It tasted bitter and he spit It out, but his moth er and sister swallowed it. They then went to the woods to pick flowers. His mother and sister soon fell down, and were unable to rise. He, becoming frightened, ran home, and when his father arrived took him to the spot where his wife and child lay dead, There is no cause known for tbe deed, as Klrkendall and hla wife lived happi ly. The evidence pointed so plainly to suicide and poisoning as the result of temporary melancholy that no in quests were held. ', BANK FAILURES. . Yesterday Contributes a Formidable List of Suspensions.

COINAGE OF RfoEBf YLARB The Secretary Makes No Intimation What the Policy of tlm Ailmlnltiil"ii Is I.i;-ly To Be. Associated Press. Washington, June 13. A rcpresnta tlve of the Associated Press had chat today with Secretary Carlisle albout ihe pllver situation. In thof course of the' conversation the secre tary said that from 1792 to 1873, a peri od of 81 years, the total amount of silver dollars coined was 8,045,838. In 1873 the coinage was stopped by an act of congress, but resumed in 1878 under th. Blond-Alllaom act, under which, up to. July 14, 1890, something over twelve years, there was coined $389,880,374 in full legal tender Bllver money Issued by the government since 1878. Of this amount only $58,016,019 were in actual circulation on the first day of the present month, the remain der being held In the treasury as part of the assets of the government, rep resented by outstanding certificates. Under the act of July 14, 1890, ther has been coined $29,408,401, which makes the total coinage of sliver dol lars since 1878 aggregate $419,294,835, or more than fifty times as much as dur ing the previous eighty-one years. The secretary haa purchased, under the act of July 14, 1890, and now holds in the vaults of the treasury, uncoined silver bullion which cost the people of the United States $114,299,920, and is worth today at the market price of silver, $103,411,381!, thus showing a loss of $10, 888,634. During the lost thirteen months fifty millions' worth of silver bullion was purchased and all exoept $2,216,011 worth was paid for in gold, while the bullion itself is in store in the vaults of the treasury and can neither bo sold ' nor used for the pay ment of any kind of obligations. "It Is evident," sold the secretary, "that if this policy Is continued, and we are compelled to issue bonds, or other wise increase the Interest-bearing pub lic debt, it will be done for the pur pose of procuring gold with which to pay for the silver bullion purchased under the act referred to." The net gold In the treasury has Increased from $S9,000,000 to $91,300,000. EVANS CAPTURED. Visalla, June 13. Chris Evans, the noted outlaw, v.t.i capture J lust night at the house of widow Perkins, -where ha had gone after the battle with Ih officers. He was wounded and mad no resistance. He was shot In the right eyebrow, closing tho eyo.Another bullet plowed across the small of his back, making a wound nine Inches long. lie1 was also shot In th left wrist, the ball passing upwards through the forearm. He was not as seriously hurt as Sontag, and will have a speedy recovery. Sontag rallied a little this morning, feeling much better. Both bandits are In Jail. This afternoon Evans and Sontag held a levee, and fifty or more persons marched upstairs In the Jail and took a look at them. Then the doors were closed to all comers. Mrs. Evans and daughter were at the Jail this after noon. Mrs. Evans was in the room with her husband, and Eva In the adjoining room with Sontag. Sheriff Scott of Fresno county has served Jury warrants on both men for train rob bery and killing McGinn! and Wilson.

Frank Byrd, a brother-in-law of Evans, says Chris sent Perking to town with the understanding that Mrs, Evans should have the reward if he surrendered. The reward In question Is likely to be productive of numerous lawsuits, Judged from the present mut terlngs. PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS. Washington, Juno 13.

A RAP AT THE TRUSTS. Chicago, June 13. Judge MeConnell this afternooni hit the trusts a hard rap, particularly the preservers' trust. It was In a suit against It by a recalci trant member, Andrew D. Bishop. In overrulllng the demurrer by the asso ciation Judge McConnell said In part: "No court of record should lend its legal operations to further tho inter ests and carry out the purposes of the trust. To my mind the corporation known as the American Fruit Pre serves' Association Is but an agent of the trust, and as such the same Ille gally attaches to Is as to tho principal. The association now has three days in which to reply to Bishop. 13 LIZZIE BORDEN GUILTY? Newark, N. J., June 13. Another Bor den theory was evolved today when ft barber told a story to the effect that last fall a man with a heavy black beard came Into his shop, got a clean shave and a close hair-cut, borrowed some writing paper and wrote three or four letters, two of which he threw on the floor as unsatisfactory. One of these the barber picked up after the man had gone, and found it was ad dressed to Mayor Coughlln, of Fall River, and stated that the writer had murdered Mid. Borden out of revenge. The barber did not explain why ho kept this quiet so long. The police think the mysterious man was a crank. THE FLYER TO BE CONTINUED. Chicago, June 13.

On the contrary, they claim It Is gaining In popularity and running In either direction to its fullest capacity. TO AVERT FURTHER DANGER. Washington, June 13. Supervising Architect O'Rourke today made a pre llmlnary examination of the Winder building, occupied as the Hecond audi tor's office, the building being very old. O'Rourk said he found it safe, but unfit for the purpose for which It was used. He will examine the other tneafiury buildings within the next few days and then take up the buildings occupied by other executive departments. CiOOI TEMPLARS' CONVENTION. Dcs Moines, June 13. The thirty- sixth unnuai meeting of the World's lodge of Qood Templars convened here this morning with delegates from every quarter of the globe. The committee of arrangements for the Pioneer and Historical Society bas. ket picnic met yesterday and decided to again postpone the picnic until next Wednesday. The affair now promises to be a much greater success than was at first anticipated, provided a fortu nate selection Is made asr to the day for holding it. It was thought that Friday would have been an excellent day, but the school exercises at Upixr town would have prevented many from attending, and In consequence a ma jority of the committee favored the postponement until next Wednesday. O. P. Henry, the inventor of the' new marine marvel at present under construction bock of the O'Brien building, has something entirely new in tho way of a net. It is composed of three distinct kinds of web, one por tlon being trap web, another herring seine we-b, and a third having been taken from a gill-net. The device is intended for the the general fishing business, and ia calculated to catch anything from a sardine to an eighty- pound salmon. Mr. Henry says he will give it a trial today. Frank Patton and H. C. Thompson yesterday conveyed to . the Seashore Road Company the Astoria and South . Coast Railroad, together with all the rights of way, rolling stock, equip ments, franchises, tenements, heredita ments and appurtenances thereto be longing. The office of the new com pany is in Astoria, and 1U buHlness is to lease, buy construct, maintain, and perate a standard gauge railway be tween Astoria and Seaside." The cap ital stock Is $175,000, divided into 1,759 ehnres of the value of $100 each. The will of the late Mrs. Dillon was led In the office of the county clerk esterday. Dr. Walker is named us xecutor, with power to sell and d!s- poHe of the property at such time or lace as shall seem proper to him.
