Started Over a Ten-Cent Piece.
Koepler Has Murray Danc-in?
Around a Tree Both Negroes
founded, but Only One Likely to
Die-
A fight between negroes over a game of
car is terminated seriously and perhaps
fatally yesterday afternoon.
About five o'clock a crowd of nepro
pamblers collected out on the Sprinptteld
toad just this side of the waterworks,
M ,l rnpaped in a racy and interesting
game of old fashioned skin.
Joe Murray and Elijah Keepler, two of
these in the pame, got into a difficulty
over ten cents, drew their pistols and be'-
gau firing at each other. Murray was
shot through the back, the ball lodging
under the skin over the stomach, from
which wound he will probably die. The
other negro was also shot, but his injury
was only a flesh wound.
As soon as Detective Morgan was noti
fied of the affair ho went out. to the scene
of the shooting. He found that a largo
crowd of negroos had gathered at the
gcent. but that the wounded negroes had
been carried off to their homes.
MURRAY'S VERSION OF THE AFFAIR.
Detective Morgan went to Murray’s
hou'o on Roberts street, near West
Boundary, and found him badly shot.
His injury was so serious that he will
probably die. He was suffering greatly,
bat was able to tell bow the affair hap
pened from his standpoint. He said he had
been out with a crowd of negroes
skinning on the Springfield road
just this side of the water works, and
"that Elijah Keepler, another negro, had
grabbed 10 cents belonging to him. He
told Keepler to put it down, which Keep
er refused to do. Then the difficulty
started between the two. Keepler drew
his pistol and Murray drew his and they
exchanged shots. Murray says Keepler
lired first. Murray ran behind a tree
and told Keepler that he didn’t want to
shoot any more, that he had laid enough,
and suggested that they stop. Koepler,
he said, followed him up to the tree, say
ing that he xvas going to get
one at him any how and there they were.
Murray was dodging around the tree tit a
lively rate trying to keep from being shot,
ami Keepler was hot after him trying to
shoot him.
Murray admits having snapped his pis
tol at Koeplor three or four times while
behind the tree, but said it failed to go
off. Keepler was following him at a live
ly rate and trying to shoot at every turn,
when Murray ran off and Keepler fired at
him several times, striking him in the
back, the ball passing all the way through
his body.
keepler’s story.
Deteetive Morgan then went up to
Kcepler's house on Waldburg street, a
few doors west of Cuyler. Dr. Shcftall
had just removod the ball, which had
entered liis groin and inflicting a flesh
wound, came out near the skin on tits
back. The ball was from a pistol of 38
calibre.
In explaining the diffiulty Keepler said
it arose over ten cents and that Murray
pulled out his pistol and shot at him
first, both exchanging shots. He then
jumped on the fence and Murray shot at
him again and hit him. Then Murray
ran behind a trey: he went after him
and when Murray ran off from the tree*
he shot him. He said ho had thrown his
pistol in the Musgrove creek.
Murray's pistol was found with two
empty shells and two balls in it. Keep
ler denied shooting five times at Murray,
as was stated by some of the witnesses.
WILL PROBABLY END FATALLY.
Dr. Shcftall, who attended both the
victims of the shooting and removed the
balls, says that it is next to impossible
for Murray to live, but that. Keepler is all
right and will pull through.
The witnesses in tiie ease are some of
them uncertain as to which fired first,
but it seems to be the opinion that Keepler
drew his pistol on Murray, and that .Mur
ray then drew his pistol and shot him.
Murray then ran for the tree and Keepler
went over to the fence, but returned to
renew the attack and perhaps with fatal
sesults.
'•'here is no possibility of Murray’s es
caping, but as Kcepler's wound is only a
slight one. it was decided best to keep a
watch on him and a guard was stationed
at his house lust night. Keepler is a
dangerous negro with a pistol, being the
one who tired several shots at Tony But
ler at a picnic several weeks ago. when
that negro struck him with a pair of brass
knueks.

bemoaning the general depression in trade,
lie balanced a large basket of crabs and

purchase some of his “sea output” the
old negro ventured to ask the proprietor,
wtio was getting on the outside of an Ef

no, nary time boss, buckra kin eat

I he storekeeper’s heart was touched,
and congratulating himself that he had

i lie negro a big slice of the melon.

DIFFERENT TASTES IN MONET.
In Parts of the Country Gold is Want
ed, in Psrts Paper, and in Parts
Silver.
From the New York-Sun.
Any one who travels through the differ
ent parts of the United States will notice
the differences in the kind of money in
circulation. The money of the United
States is of thrt>e kinds--gold, silver, and
paper. Paper is gold certificates, silver
certificates, national bank notes, and le
gal tender notes or greenbacks. The pro
l>ortiou of these in circulation varies in
different parts of the country in a way
that shows the different preferences of
the inhabitants and also the cause for the
desire of so much gold.
In the east silver dollars are rarely cir
culated; especially in cities like New
York and Boston silver dollars are
rarely used in trade. Sometime an em
ployer pays his men with them where lie
has a large number of laborers on small
weekly wages, because it is easy to make
up their pay by stacking the silver dol
lars like chips, while there may be a mis
take in the denomination of the green
backs, which could not easily be traced
and rectified with hundreds of names on
the pay roll. The silver dollars, however,
go back to the banks again quickly, and
from the banks to the sub-treasury, where
silver certificates are got in exchange
for them.
There is a dislike among thr eastern
public to receiving or carrying either gold
or silver. The silver is heavy and bulky.
Besides spoiling the set of the trousers or
coat it is in the way, and is a constant
temptation to be spent. Fifteen dollars
would load one of a man's pockets down
as much as if lie were carrying a itound
weight, and forty or fifty dollars in silver
would require a stronger pair of suspend
ers. The objection to gold is not the same
as to silver, on account ot its smaller
weight and bulk for the value, but the
gold has to be carried in a pocket by itself,
and it may be handed out in mistake for
something else. There is little possibility
in mistaking a silver dollar for any other
kind of coin, but a 52.50 gold piece might
be, readily mistaken for a quarter. Be
sides, gold is easily lost, and there is .the
same objection to carrying a quantity of it
that there is to carrying a quantity of sil
ver.
For these, and the reasons of habit and
custom, almost all the gold in the large
cities of New England and New York is
in the sub-treasury or the bank vaults,
and only a fraction of silver is in circula
tion. Merchants have found that their
customers dislike to get silver dollars in
change, and though, of course, they- will
take silver in payment for goods, they
exchange it for small bills at their banks
and give the small bills in change. Ex
cept about Christmas time, when there is
u demand for gold coin for presents and
for lockets, ornamental buttons, and
other Christmas souvenirs, not one dollar
in a hundred of the circulation in New
York city, outside of fractional silver, is
in gold or silver.
But on the Pacific slodo gold is prefer
red to paper or silver. The reason for this
is greatly a habit and custom. Original
ly all tlie currency in California was
gold and fractional silver, because the
gold was produced there, and the way to
get geernbaek was to ship the gold east.
This interchange would take place in the
course of time, ahd greenbacks of large
denomination took theplace of the express
companies’ drafts, but the introduction of
$5, 110 and *OO bills has been slow. So
has the introduction of silver dollars.
There used to be gold dollars, hut they
are rarely found in circulation on account
of their small size. The bulk of the Cali
fornia circulation at the stores, saloons,
cigar stores. pai>er shops, and other like
places is quarter and half eagles and
eagles and double eagles. Fractional sil
ver is given in exchange for an amount of
less than a quarter eaglo. The silver
dollar and the *1 and *2 bills are alike
unpopular. The Californian likes to
have the value in his pocket instead of a
token of it.
Through the farming districts, begin
ning in the interior of Pennsylvania and
New York and running through the south
and west to the Rocky Mountains, the
great coin is the silver dollar; not the sil
ver certificate or greenback, but the sil
ver itself. Paper money is in circulation
through the banks and among the richer
men and the professional men, but the
money of the farmer is the silver dollar.
This fact of the almost exclusive circu
lation of the silver dollar among the agri
cultural population accounts to a great
extent for the demand of the farmers for
free silver and increased silver coinage.
All the farmers want more money, though
there is nothing peculiar in this, for the
desire to have more money is common to
almost everybody. From the fact that
the silver dollar is the kind of money
they have, and almost the only kind, they
believe, if there were more silver dollars
more would fall to their share, especially
if the distribution were enforced in some
per capita manner, or through a natiou.il
pawnshop, which would take their crops
and loan them silver dollars in exchange.
Gold rarely circulates in any agricultu
ral community east of the Rocky Mount
ains. Many of the farmers have gold,
and if they accumulate money and keep
it around the house they save gold by
preference. There are few stacks of green
backs or silver dollars hoarded in the
country. This habit goes back to the
days during the war, when gold was at a
premium, and any man who had gold and
pupei- would spend the paper and keep
the gold. It was the more valuable. In
this manner hundreds of millions of dol
lars in gold was hoarded, and a great part
of it still remains hoarded.
The feeling among the farmers in favor
of free silver coinage is not so much a
feeling in favor of coining silver as a de
mand for more money. After the war
and in the early seventies, and on until
the resumpton of specie payments, green
backs and fractional silver were the only
money in circulation among the farmers.
The farmers felt that they were poor, and
that the remedy for their poverty was to
give each of them more money. As green
backs were the money they had, and
knew most about, they wanted the gov
ernment to start its printing presses and
issue greenbacks to thorn all, thereby in
creasing the amount of money each of
them would have. After the dying out of
the greenback craze and the greenback
parties, the demand for more money was
repeated in the Farmers’ alliance and the
people's party, only their demand for
more money, instead of being .that the
government should print so much green
paper, is that the goveenment shall stamp
so much silver.
Through the south the circulation of
the silver dollar is almost universal. Ex
cept in the cities the small bill is rarely
found in circulation. For sums under
S2O the silver dollar is used. The farmer
who sells a load of bay ora bale of cotton,
or gets something to boot in a trade ex
pects liispay in silver, which ho puts in
a canvas bag. Ho likes the weight of it
because ttiat shows that lie lias some
thing there.. He docs not mind the effect
it has on his walk or on the sot of his
trousers. It would lia news that his trous
ers had a set.
The kind of money in circulation in a
locality is almost a sure indication of the
amount of wealth and of the trading
habits of the community. The presence
of the silver dollar shows that the ordi
nary transactions are small and tue
amount of money and amount of wealth
per capita are both low. To a man to
whom one silver dollar seems big, eight
or ten of them are impressive, and thirty
or forty arc wealth. He no more minds
their weight than the Now York business
man would mind the w,*i*Jit of rolls of .>5
bills. It is evident that large transactions
cannot well be carried on with the use of
silver dollars, for the handling of the
money would be a good deal of effort and
labor. A man whose average income is
*3OU or S4UU a year is not likely to have
THE MO'RNTNG NEWS: MONDAY. JULY 17. 1893.
at any time more silver dollars than he
can conveniently handle. If hi* income
were larger and the amount of money he
handl' and were increased. the silver dollar
would cease to suffice him. and ho would
have to have bills of larger denomina
tions.
The whole matter of circulation ar
ranges itself uatui'ally on these lines,
that where the most money is it will be
handled in the most concentrated form,
aud that whore the less money is in cir
culation the largest visible token of it
will be used by preference.

His Personal Experience.
Hon. James W. Husted, while serving
his sixth term as speaker of the as
sembly of the state of Now York,
writes:
“State of New York, Assembly
Chamber, Albany, Jan. 16, 1890—1 desire
once more to bear my testimony to the
value of Allcock’s Porous Plasters. I have
used them for twentr-flve years past, and
can conscientiously commend them as the
best external remedy that 1 hax'e known.
Years apo, when thrown from a carriage
and seriously injured, I gave them a
thorough trial. In a very short time the
pain that I was suffering disappeared,
and, within a week I was entirely relieved.
On another occasion, when suffering from
a severe cough, which threatened pulmo
nary difficulties, which I was recom
mended to go to Florida to relieve, I de
termined to test the plasters again. I ap
plied thom to my chest and between the
shoulder blades, and in less than a fort
night was entirely cured. On still an
other occasion, when suffering from an
attack of rheumatism in the shoulder to
such an extent that I could scarcely raise
my arm. 1 again resorted to tiio piasters,
and, within a very few days the rheuma
tism entirely disappeared. I have them
constantly by ine whether at homo or
abroad. My family as well as myself
have found them to be a sove
reign remedy, both for external
and internal troubles. I never had
but one kidney difficulty in my life, and
the application of the piasters cured me
in a week. I desire, as I said before, to
bear my testimony in a public way to their
efficacy, and I know of no better way of
doing it than by giving you my personal
experience.”
SMOKERS OF HASHISH.
The Effect on the Nerous System Is
Like that of Hypnotism.
From the Daheim of Lelpsig.
Alcohol, opiffm and cocaine are the
cause of endless woe to humanity. What
if something could be found which could
be substituted for these poisons and at
the same time have a pleasing aud ben
eficial influence on man, and instead
of making him wild, would quiet him as
did the lyre of Orpheus? The African
traveler, Wissmann, describes in detail
the cultivation and use of the “riambo”
among the former cannibal inhabitants
of Lubuku, by which their customs and
manners wore made so mild that it was
even forbidden by them to shod
the blood of animals. This people, wh o
before had been aggressive leaders In
wars, are now living in peace. Villages
which heretofore had been engaged in
bitter feuds became friendly. Laws and
customs of the most peaceful kind were
introduced, with the result that the
country into which strangers had never
before ventured was open to all. This
peaceful disposition, as also this antag
onism to the shedding of the blood of
animals, point to a characteristic feature
of an old oriental people. These arc the
Indians. The same herb which made the
cannibals of Lubuku the friends of men,
and which they call “bashilange,” has
been known to the Indians for cetMurics
as an intoxicant. It is tho Indian hemp.
In the east the intoxicant extract is made
out of the blossoms and out of the whole
plant. Generally it is called “hashish,”
which signifies merely hemp. It is
chewed like tobacco, or smoked as such,
or the juice, called “damamesk,” is used
with sugar and almonds or whisky.
In moderate amounts the Indian hemp
aud its preparations have a mild effect on
the nervous system, and produce a pleas
ant state of feeling, at any rate among the
Orientals. Larger quantities produce in
toxication. In the east the number of
those who use the hashish is computed
at between two and three hundred mil
lions. Physicians are not all agreed as
to tho effect of the drug, some claiming
that it produces nausea, heart-beating,
dryness in the throat. When fully effi
cient it produces the feeling of pleased in
toxication and the most agreeable and
pleasureablo thoughts. Thereupon fol
lows sleep deep and dreamless, and on tho
following morning the pleasant visions
•re still real and present. That
opium or alcohol eventually de
stroys those who use it to ex
cess goes without saying. On the
other hand, the effect of the hcmp-chew
ingon the negro is wonderfully quieting.
Wissmann mentions several African peo
ple among whom hemp-smoking lias been
firmly introduced ns a habit, especially
the Wanlamesi. He says he is convinced
that the effect of this hemp on the negro
is to make him milder and more gentle,
and makes him more accessible to the in
fluences of civilization, although it does
have to a certain extent an evil influence
on the body, which influence, however, is
generally exaggerated. Most remarkable
is the manner in which a “judgment of
God” is secured by the hemp-smokers.
Those that are accused continue the
smoking of hemp until the guilty one is
compelled to make a confession. On the
other hand, the thieves of India use this
hemp for the purpose of pursuing their
work. They secretly make a hole in the
house and Hil it with fumqs of hemp
smoke. This lias its effect upon tlie
people of the house, and when the thieves
enter they find them in tljo most agreea
ble humor, incapable of understanding
what is going on, and even welcoming the
marauders with the most pleasant words
and gestures. These statements are
from the travels of Yon Hibru.
Then the hashish-smokers frequently
got into a state much resembling hyp
notism, in which it is possible to place
the members of the body in any position,
and to treat the body as though it wore
all made of joints. The similantybetweon
hypnotism and the effects or hashish
siuoking is so great that Dr. von Schrenk-
Notzig, of Munich, made special investi
gation of this subject. It is well known
that when a personis hypnotized a single
word or threatening action .suffices to
throw the subject into spasms of rage. Tho
authority just mentioned lias discovered
that in a similar way a person under tho
influence of hashish can be affocted. He
even discovered that persons who do not
submit to ordinary hypnotism can be put
into this state through the chewing or
smoking of hashish. The faculty most in
fluenced by this narcotic is theimagination.
The immediate present is idealized luto
tho most beautiful and fantastic forms;
hearing is made flner, and tho finest
strains of music affect as they never did
before.
