MAjtCII 20, 1902, BANKS TO ISSUE MONEY ORDERS There is an important move ment on foot among banks of the United States to issue money or ders. A meeting was held in New York city lust week to discuss the matter and itis probable that the plan will be successful. The proposition is to enter the money order field as a competitor of the express companies and the government itself. It is proposed to issue a uniform hunk money order payable through an immense clearing house in New ork city, probably the Western National Bank, with branch clearinghouses in all t he other larger cities. It is proposed to incorporate this association with a paid op capital of gigaptie proportions reaching far into the millions, that its credit may he adsolutely unquestioned and that its orders may bo circulated almost the same as currency and be received with the same faith and credit, that is now given orders of express companies and of the government. To compete with the express companies the rates for the issu ance of the order will he placed u 1 a minimum price, which it, is be lieved the express companies will . not be able to meet because of their limited banking facilities. The rate proposed is one-tenth of 1 per cent, which in orders for SIOO or less would be 10 cents or just one-third the charge by ex press companies. Hun.

In a Wisconsin store the other day a young woman shopper drop ped a penny on the floor. It roll ed away and hid in a dark corner. She insisted upon the coin being recovered. The clerks joined in the search. Somebody struck a match to light up a nook. A roll of cotton batting caught the flame. The loss to the store was about $600,000. before the embers of building were cool the young wo man shopper reminded the owner 1 that she had lost a penny in his place of business and would like to have him make it good.—Macon News. CURRENCY LEGISLATION. It is probable that a measure will be introduced at the present session of congress for reforming the prose id currency laws. The republican members of the bank ing aud currency committee have agreed upon the provisions of the new bill and it will therefore like ly pass congress and become the law of l he land. If it becomes a law it will p-organize the present monetary system in the following way: By national banks assuming to redeem currently $180,000,000 of United States notes. By permitting national banks to issue under proper safeguards and during a term of seven years asset currency proportioned to their capital. By limiting issues of silver cer tificates to five dollars or less. Bv increasing the coinage of subsidiary coin. By providing for the exchange of gold for silver. By permitting national banks to have places of business in any part of the United States, colonies and foreign countries. By requiring national banks to pay interest at the rate of 1 per cent per annum on all deposits of public money. The bill provides for a board of control which will have general charge of the national hanks ol the country. It is thought by many leading financiers that the new law will he an important im provement over the present sys tem. ‘Ts the pig a hog?” asks the | Supreme Court of Alabama.

He was present at Couch's creek last Friday when the body of Engineer Matthews was taken from the wreck, which occurred there February 27th. He talks interestingly of the finding of the body. Early in the morning the water in the basin formed by building dams above and below the engine lmd been pumped out until apart of the machinery was exposed. Parties were sent out to see if Mr. Matthews’ body could be found. After searching a few moments some one found an arm and later a hand, but the body was held down by part of the engine and could not be rescued until the machinery was raised. V ire cables were attached to the engine and the ends were connected to the wrecking trains. At a given signal both engines upon the track 00 feet above slowly raised the disabled engine in the creek. As soon as the heavy weight was removed the body of Mr. Matthews rose to the surface of the water. Members of the wrecking crew hastily threw sheets over the body to keep it from the view of the curious crowd and tenderly carried it to a box car, where it was taken in charge by an undertaker. The body was found in an excellent state of preservation, considering i the long time it, remained under j | the water, it was carried to I Columbus for burial. Mr. Bennett says there were about two hundred people present when the body was recovered. The Bratton Comedy Cos. Pleasing Barge Audiences at Opera House.
