BANKERS AND SILVER.
I
Free Coinage Discussed by the Con
vention in New Orleans.
"Is it Practical to Have a National
Rate of Interest?" Discussed.
New- Orleans, J,a , Special. At
the Bankers' Convention W. P. St. John,
of New York, read a piper on the silver
question. He urged the reopening of the
mints to equally restricted coinage of gold
an 1 silver. lie says his plan will tend
to unite the currency by providing a sin
gle automatic issue in lieu of any capri
cious issue of circulating notes. These
no'es would be redeemable in coin, the
coin reserved for them being at face
amount of the notes.
Hou. John Jay Knox, ex-Comptroller
of the Currency, replied to Mr. St. John,
arguing against the free coinage of silver.
Mr. Johnston, of Birmingham, spoke
in favor of an honest silver dollar.
Mr. George Rutlege Gibson then read
a fancy descriptive paper on "Wall
Street."
Mr. Gibson briefly reviewed the history
the history of stock exchanges and devo
ted much space to ihe principles and
benefits of speculation; the ethic9 of
speculation; the utility ol the middleman
or broker ; the community of interest be
tween Wall street and the country; the
influence of the Stock Exchange and the
international relations of Wall strcct. Mr.
Gibson treated his subject from a Wall
trect standpoint. Speaking of the rela
tive value of railroad and farming prop
erty in the West, he claimed thatto the
railroads, in the increased transportation
facilities furnished, the farmer owed most
of the increased value of his farm proper
ty. Mr. Gibson expressed the opinion that
the bankers of the interior of the country
wc it to themselves as inlluential citizens
f the com i. unities in which they live to
combat the feeling of hostility in many
soetio:s to capital and to Wall street. He
aid a high tribute the morals of the
'.Vall-street banken and brokers, especial
ly as to their integrity in linaiieial mat
ers an 1 their scrupulous regard for the
inviolability of contracts they make, even
i the hurry and bustle of transactions
ipon the Fxchange.
A paper was read by William C. Coru
vall, of Buffalo, X. Y., on "Canadian

Process for $50,000.
Temple, Tex., Special."! Rain link
ers have been at work here. They came
from Kansas, are called the Inter-State
Artificial Rain, Company, and have their
headquarters at Good land, Kan. This
company, of which E. H. Murphy is
President, was negotiating a sale of their
secret to a stock company, and the expe
riment here was the last of a series that
resulted favorably. The stock company,
through its agent accompanying the
pait', signified its satisfaction with the
experiments.
The party, consisting of President Mur
phy, Messrs Smith, Bush and Morris, arriv
ed in the city on Nov. 1, and commenced
operations Monday evening in a small
outhouse at the edge of town. The con
ditions were extremely unfavorable for
rain.
No results could be seen ht iirst, but
on Friday the sky lecanie overcast with
clouds. On Saturday a high wind pre
vailed, and on Saturday night some rain
come from the southwest. On Sunday
rain fell all day and at night a norther
arose. Roports from 100 to 150 miles
rouud the town shows that rain fell on
Sunday in most localities iu considera
ble quantities.
The rain makers are jubilant and claim
the rain fell on account of their efforts.
They closed the bargain for the purchase
of their secret upon the results here and
Tuesday left for home. It is understood
that $.)0,C00 was the juice. Th-i process
is claimed to be that used by Melbourne.

TRAIN ROBBERY FOILED.
An Interesting Story From Down in
Alabama.
Birmingham, Ala., Special. A
story comes from Collinsville, on the
Alabama Great "Southern railroad that
sounds very much like an attempted
train robbery.
The agent at Collinsville heard that an
attempt would be made to rob the
Southern Express which passed there
about twelve o'clock. Shortly aftenvard
fifteen men, nicely dressed, came in and
took possession of the Station, refusing
to vacate when locking up time came.
The agent tlen called on tho local au
thorities, and the mayor and inarshall,
police and a posse of citizens came to
his rescue and drove the men away. The
gang was well armed and left threaten
ing vengeance. The train at Chattanoo
ga was notified and left there with all
the train meu armed to the teeth. As it
puiled iu Collinsville, four of the men
reappeared and attempted to board it,
but the citizens fired on them and tlley
fled. It is said one of the fellows was
hit and fell, but got up and made oil
again. It is believed the at tempt was
planned to have been made below Col
iinsville, but the train came through
without being molested. All the train
men on the division are now armed and
an extra lookout is observed. One of the
gang has been arrested, but his story has
