Washington, Dec. 17. Secretary Gage resumed the exposition of his currency bill in the house committee of banking and currency today. Chairman Walker had left the citv. Congressman B-rosius of Pennsyl vania, presided. Some semi-political questions were asked. Kepre- : sentativt Hill of Connecticut asked if, the purpose was not to commit ) the country to the iold standard? Secretary Gage said he didn't think the more firmly fixing of the gold standard on the country did'ntcon . Ilict with the St Louis platform; the new bill in no way prejudiced any steps that might be taken towards bring silver to a higher standard of value; but designed to give such a confidence in the financial ability of the government that the discrimina tions would largely dacrease. Cox, dem , of Tenn , asked if the result of the Gage bill would not eventually lead to one kind of paper money, bank notes and no silver excent sub sidiary? Secretary Gage said noth ing was in the plan to operate to that extent now. It is in that direction, and with further legislation might ultimately lead to such a result. But he could'nt say silver would be re stricted to subsidiary The consid eration of the bill by sections was continued. Duncan Appointed. By Telegraph to the l'ress-Visitor. Washington, Dec.

The southbound local train on the Southern, which left Charlotte yes terday at 12:20 o'clock, was held up at Spartanburg for one bour in con sequence of the arrest there of the engineer by the chief of police of that city. It appears that an ordi nance was pissed for the benefit of the sleepers of Spartanburg, pro hibiting the blowing of locomotive whistles within the corporate limits of the town. TheengineerofNo.il was arrested on charge of violating this ordinance, the penalty of which is twenty-five dollars a blow. With the engineer under arrest, Conductor Jones got to work on a wire with Capt. Ryder's office, while the pos tal clerks notified the mayor that be was engaged in a serious piece of business in obstructing the United States mails, engineer had put up a bluff about not going up town under arrest, and the chief of police had given him 15 minutes in which to pay the $25 fine or go to the lock-up. The mayor stood firm, and the re sult was that in the end the engineer paid over the fine, and the train was permitted to proceed, after a detention of one hour, during which time the passengers bad become ra'her weary of the scenery about Spartanburg.

A TURBULENT WIFE. old Mr. (.rady's Testimony Mayor Ritss a Hypnotist. Mr. J. W. Grady, the poor old xe- soldier who peddles pencils, watches, whistles and other little trinkets about the city in a basket, was brought before the mayor this morning charged with having a row' in front of his house with his wife. Old man Grady fell in love with a young woman in this city and laid aside the decrep itations of age seveaal years ago and started out a hustling for a liv ing. The old fellow works hard, but he has a rough lime in his home. His wife has spells in which it is not easy for anyone to get along with her. Two witnesses swore that the old man swore and raised a general row in the street Two otliersswore that Grady did no'iiing to create a disturbance. But the witnesses against Grady gave the .strongest testimony. The old man said: "Mr Mayor, this was merely a little family dis turbance one which happens any time in every family throughout the city at least I suppose it does. A man has a wife heexpects something like this." The mayor allowed Gra dy to pay the costs. The next offenders were Harriet Whitaker and Benjamin Hinton, both colored. Tbey submitted to the charge of a little assault but when the mayor came to examine two of the witnesses to find the gravity of the trouble they all testi fied that there hadn't been any trouble. The mayor le.ned back and rubbed his head. Two wit nesses swear that there has been co row and yet the defendants had submitted. But there was one more witness summoned for the pro secution so the mayor said: "Come in here, Frank Montgomery. You're a new one. I want to see if you'll tell about this. Now just take the book and think intently, I can't speak anything but the truth. I can't think of anything but the truth. I must speak the truth.' I'll see if I can't hypnotise you," added the mayor. But the mayor seems to have failed on his subject for Frank corroborated the other witnesses that Harriet and Ben were ouly in fun. One witness was asked, "Did Hariet look mad?" "No, sir, she never looked mad, she just sat there looking 'dry and easy,' like she al ways do." The mayor said, "Well, both of you pay $2 and cost since you submitted and go along. ' The next offender was a colored boy, James Whitaker, charged with disorderly conduct last night on the steps into the hall. The mayor fined hime two dollars and costs and told him if it happened again he would be fined $25 and cost. At this point the mayor added, "I just want to say that there shall be no more cigarette smoking on the steps or at the head of the steps around the entrance into the ball. It is a nuisance and must be stopped." He said that he had rather smell a pile of guano at the door than to encounter a fog of cigarette smoke. If you want to smoke a cigarette yon must go down stairs the mayor says. The ladies have .been complaining about the nuicsance. Mr H S Leard has gone to Ports mouth to attend a meeting of the traveling freightagents of the S. A. L. They meet there today. MR. J. S. CARR'S SPEECH. His 'I a Ik lie fore the Bankers Attracts w idc Attention. The Atlanta Journal of yesterday has au editorial from which the fol lowing is taken: "The brief speech of Mr Julian S Carr, of North Carolina, at the ban ker s convention yesterday afternoon was one of the most notable events of the session, because it indicated that differences as to the standard of the currency do not divide the supporters of the movement for a more liberal and better distributed currency. Mr Carr is an extreme free silver man, but he is heart and soul with the declared purposes of the convention held here yesterday. Among other things ha said: "One speaker has told us today that we have only 'M cents of circu lation per capita in the south, while in the northern states it is nearly P'. They tell us that we don't want any more money. I say that a man ought to be able to go to the bank and be able to borrow on his credit us well as on ;onds. ' " hied From Hydrophobic A special from Guilford Cohegi. to the Greensboro Telegram says: David Moore, the seven-year-old son of Mrs. Moore, at this place died in great agony this morning. About three weeks ago the little fel low was petting a stray eat which had been there a day or two when suddenly the oat began acting strangely and jumped into his face and bit him over the eye. About a week ago he was taken with a chill ana on yesterday tie grew worse, when Dr. Robinson was called in. After examination he announced that there was every symptom of hydro phobia. The little sufferer grew worse until death came to his relief this morning. The sad and untimely affair has put Dr Robinson iD a rather uneasy frame of mind as he was bitten by the same cat a few days ago while handling it. Tb3 bite is on his ear. At present there is no indication of the dreaded disease attacking him but great anxiety is felt for him by his friends. BAIN TOMORROW. Hut ue ore Promised Colder Weather After Saturday. The forecast of the weather bureau for Raleigh and vicinity is threaten ing weather with ra'i. lonight and Saturday, followed by decidedly colder weather Saturday night and Sunday.

This depression will probably move eastward today and tomorrow and permit the cold wave to flow to the south. The tem perature is li! at St Ixmis, 12 at Chicago and 10 at Amarillo, north ern Texas, and remains below zero in the northwest. Warm, cloudy weather, with scat tered light rains, prevails in the east. It is snowing at Cleveland, Davenport and Detroit and Cleve land, and sleeting at St Louis.
