TO Ntw Haven, Aug. 12.— Robert Drakeley, of Baltimore, ltt years old, and said to be worth $50,000 in his own name, took up his residence in Woodbury, Litchfield county, six months ago. Five weeks ago be married Mrs. Marwick, of that place, who was twenty years his senior, and was divorced from her first husband some yeai-s ago. The marriage was considered strange by the people of Woodbury, and they were not surprised when it was seen that Drakeley and his wife lived unhappily together, with frequent quarrels. Tuesday night, about 11 o'clock, Drakeley shot his wife through the heart, killing her instantly. He then shot himself in the hand and foot, perhaps accidentally. He gave himself up without resistance to officers, whom he met as they were going to the house to arrest him. He admitted killing his wife, but would make no statement of his reasons, and expressed no feeling in the matter.,VHAT THE MONEY HANDLERS WANT Author, Dead.

Dr. Hamilton was born at Wilmington, Vt, in 1813, He was graduated from tlx Pennsylvania university in 1883, and first settied in Auburn, N. Y. In 1844 he went to Buffalo, and with Dr. Austin Flint and Dr. J. P. White established the medical department of the Buffalo university. In 1800 he removed to Brooklyn and after his service in the war, where he rose to be medical inspector of the army, he took up his residence in Now York city. He was one of the founders of the Beilevue Hospital Medical college. Among the many honorary positions held by him the following may be mentioned: President of the Medical Society of the State of New York, 1855; president of the New York Pathological society, 1866; president of the Medico Legal society, 1875. He was consulting surgeon of nearly all the great hospitals of this city. As a writer on medical subjects he was an accepted authority. His "Treatise on Fractures and Dislocations" is regarded in all countries as the leading work on the subject Dr. Hamilton's boldness and success in surgical operations waa remarkable. He also invented many ingenious mechanical aids to surgery. Opinions advanced by him twentyfive years ago in regard to treatment of bona fractures have but lately come into general recognition. Dr. Hamilton became widely known throughout the country in 1881 as one of the physicians in attendance upon President Garfield. He was noted for benevolence. He leaves two chiloren, Theodore & Hamilton and Mrs. Daniel Davis. His wife diod a year ago. Ittmn His Relatives. Servants and Njcw York, Aug. 12.—Mayor Grace , did not visit his offloe yesterday, and all sorts of rumors were flying about. One was to the effect that counsel for the defense in the Squire matter had lent a communication to Mayor Grace at Great Heck, peremptorily refusing to go on with the trial before his honor today, as ordered, and that they had received a reply that tbe case must go on. Squire's counsel, it is said, claimed that it wauld be doing their client a great injustice to Insist upon his continuing before the mayor, because it would necessarily place him at a great disadvantage in defending himself against the charge of misdemeanor by exposing his line of defense. They also claimed that the trial before the mayor Would be rendered useless if Squire should be convicted in the criminal court, his conviction being sufficient for the purpose of his removal by the mayor from the offloe of commissioner of public works. Upon these grounds, it is claimed, an adjournment will be asked for lasting over the trial in court, and counsel for the accused commissioner win cits the mayor's decision in the Shaler case, wherein adjournments were granted dhy after day for months on the ground of Gen. Bhaler's indictment. Rumor had it also that Governor Hill, who takes a great interest in this case, had declared that Mayor Grace would be doing great Injustice to the indicted commissioner if he persisted in prosecuting the case despite the proceedings for a misdemeanor in a criminal court, ami that in case of his insisting upon the defense going on, if the papers are submitted to him be will not take any action upon nwtfl the termination of the trial for There is an evident deaire tocrwMiamine Squire by tbe lawyer* for the prosecution and make a strong effort to tangle him up and wwVn him contradict much of his testimony, lawyer Miller, who was seriously attacked by Commissioner Squire last Wednesday, Insists upon going on with the case, and is spoiling to get at tbe witness Squire, to repay him in his own coin for remarking that Miller was '•a pliant tool and wanted to get his Angers in every pie." At 11 o'clock this morning Squire and Flynn plead before lodge Cowing to the indictments. A plea at not guilty was entered with a reservation to substitute a different plea later Boston, Aug. 12.—Hon. W. L Trenholm gave a very full and elaborate address on the banking and financial situation. He snld that as far as he was able to judge from the comprehensive system of reports, which enable the comptroller of the earrency to obtain a general review of all the banks of the country, he could say that, as a whole, these institutions were strong in resources, sound in condition and conservative In management. His address was received with warm demonstrations of approval, a vote of thanks being tendered. Public Libraries.

N«w You, Aug. 14—The will of the late Samael J. TOdan wOl tie filed for probate at White Plaina, the capital of We*che«te» oounty, thk morning. It* content* wen Baltimore, Aug. 12.—Apropos of the tragedy which occurred in Woodbury, Conn., in which young Robert Drakeley figured as the murderer, the history of the boy's family will be interesting. The Drakeley family has, since the death of its head, been unfortunate, and its history is peculiarly sad. Young Robert Drakeley is a son of the late Henry W. DrakSey, of Baltimore, who was engaged here for many years in the wholesale provision business. After the father's death his valuable property was divided among his sons, one of whom was arrested some - years ago for an offense in connection with his business; another was of very wayward tendencies, and paid little or no attention to work or business, and only one of the sons proved to be of steady habits, Another of the sons was Charlie Drakely, who mysteriously disappeared several years ago in Boston. He was visiting friends there, and had invited a young lady to go to the theatre. When he called fen- her in the evening she refused to accompany him, and he, becoming enraged, left the house without hat or coat, after having torn his watch from his pocket, and declared to the young lady, as he gave it to her, that she would never see him again. He fled tife house as she swooned away, and nothing more was ever heard of him. As the place whore he was last seen is near the steamship docks, it was generally believed he drowned himself. Robert Drakeley is the youngest of tbe family, and has been rather a rolling stone. Until reoently young Drakeley had been living with friends on Harlem avenue, in this city. Addresses were also delivered by Mr. George 8. Coe, president of the American Exchange National bank, of New York city; Mr. E. K. Olmstead, of New York; Mr. George Hague, general manager of the Merchants' bank of Canada; Mr. F. H. Tuthill, cashier of the First National bank of Hammond, Ind., and W. A.

The mortgage on it is to be paid and two sums ot $50,- 000 are to be invested in Wko separate trusts, the income from which is to be paid to Mrs. Felto* during her lifetime. Upon tj»e decease of Mrs. Pelton one ot th» trusts of 150,000 is to be applied to the use at a grandnieoe, Laura A.

Ten thousand dollars are to be *et specially aside for the keeping in a proper condition, after improving it, the New Lebanon cemetery, in which many members of the Tilden family are buried. A sum to be tned for a monument to Mr. TUden's memory is provided for. and other amounts for tbe publication of hit speecbee and letters. The witnesses are Edward H. Dixon, of Hastings; Charles K. Simons, of No. 742 Lexington avenue, New York, and Leighton Williams, of Noi, 87 Grove street, New York. Following is the address of Mr. F. H. Tuthill, of Indiana. Mr. President and gentlemen of the convention;In view of the imminent danger of the United States government soon finding its stock of gold so depleted that it will be compelled to make payments in silver, thus suddenly reducing the value of paper money from that of gold to that of silver, and putting all our financial and commercial transactions upon a silver basis, turning legitimate trade into speculation, inaugurating an era of inflation of prices, to be followed by its consequent reaction, and thus reproducing our financial experience during and after the war, excepting only in degree, it behooves prudent men to take what measures they can to avert the dire calamity. The associated banks of Now York can do this by an honorable agreement without the change of any existing law. It can be done at once and the oountry relieved of a great horror of apprehension, which overhangs us like a paralyzing nightmare; and for averting this threatening disaster the banks of New York, and the men who direct the movement, will deservedly receive the thanks of the country for a generation to come. Although thsre is a provision in the will revoking the bequests to any who contest it, it is believed by many that a big legal fight will yet grow out of its provisions. Mr. George Tilden is dissatisfied and Mr. George W. Mc- Lean, who was for a long time Mr. TUden's man of business, and is a relative, is also understood to be most deeply grieved. He is not mentioned at all in the will, although it was generally expected that be would come hi for a liberal bequest ▲ Captain Put Ashore. Portland, Me., Aug. 12.—The schooner J. G. Cragg, Capt "Webber, Jugt arrived from Grand banks, brings additional particulars of the mutiny on board a three-masted schooner on the banks. They say the captain, who was seen last in the power of his crew, was Capt Nicholson, of Bucksport, Me. He killed three men, and the mutinous crew declared they should put him ashore. Nothing has been heard "of the Teasel up to the time whan Capt Webber left the banks. THE ANARCHI8T TRIAL. A Practical Confession of Guilt By the Defense. Chicago, Aug. 12.—The defendants, Mr. Walker said, stood indicted under the law of the state of Illinois for the crime of murder. The lawyer read authorities on the legal definitions of "murder" and "accessory," The defense, he said, had practically entered a plea dt guilty by saying: "If the defendants have been guilty of conspiracy, punish them for that, but do not wrongfully sonvict tliem of murder." They had forgotten that when the objects of a conspiracy are accomplished in murder, than the conspirators are guilty of Flight and Capture. Racinx, Wis., Aug. 13.—Henry Dempf, a Milwaukee Anarchist who was convicted during the recent labor troubles in that city, feat upon whom sentence was suspended until Aug. 10, failed to appear, and his bail of 9500 was forfeited. A deputy sheriff from Milwaukee arrested the man in Racine, but while being taken to Milwaukee he jumped from the train and ran into the rivor. He was followed by the officer and compelled to surrender at the muzzle of a revolver. Lone Sentences for Rioting. The means are most simple. Let New York city associated bonks keep all accounts in gold. That is, live up to the agreement made in November, 1878, by which the New York banks abolished accounts kept _n different currencies, and take no paper money or silver on deposit except at its gold value. Keep no currency or silver accounts. Do business on a gold basis. Let all notes, cheques, etc., read, "Payable in gold coin." When silver is quoted at a discount instead of gold quoted at a premium, the true standard is kept in mind and the battle Is won. Upon the decease of Mary B. Pelton the prinrtpal of the third trust, *60,000, is to be applied to Mr. Tilden's niece, Caroline B. Whittlesey, during her natural life, and upon bar decease to be paid over to her heirs, if she bare any, or as her last will and testament may direct. In addition to these provisions for the benefit of Mary B. Pelton the executors and trustees shall invest not exceeding 180,000 as a distinct and separate trust, the income to go to the use of Mrs. Pelton during her life, and after her decease the principal sum to the Tiklen trust. The income of two separate sums of $25,000 each is tb go to Mrs. lacy F. Tilden, widow of Mr. DTilden's late brother, Moses Y. Tilden, during her life. After ber death, unless by will otherwise directed, the income of (85,0M mom lo Mrs. Tilden's adopted daughter, Adelaide U Buchanan, who may will tfce principal as she chooses.

One hundred dwiw of the stock of the Cleveland & Pittsburg Bailway company are set aside for the benefit of Mr, Tilden's niece, Caroline B.

Brussels, Aug. 12.—The trial of the rtofcers who sacked the Randeaux glass factory at Charteris in March last, has been concluded at Motw. Oscar Falleur, the secretary of the Union Verriere, and one Schmid, Were sentenced to twenty years penal servitude; another of the rioters was sentenced to fifteen years, two to twelve years and seven to three months Imprisonment The remaining six of the eighteen who were tried for the above offence were acquitted. make this advisable. If the mayor persists in his refusal to grant an adjournment to Squire, the latter cannot afford to let his case go as it is without further evidence, although by refusing to go on ha will avoid a cutting cros*examination by murder. Mr. Walker read copious extracts from many legal works, setting forth that where sevoral persons conspire to do an unlawful act, if that act is carried into effect, all who took part in the conspiracy are equally guilty, and a murder by one, In pursuance of a common n, la a murder by each and aD. Under the Illinois law, he contended, one encouraging or advising in a crime was as guilty as if present, and punishable qg a principal.  what he denominates "bloodthirsty persecutors."L»t Fishermen. Rumors affecting City Chamberlain William M. Ivins were circulated freely yesterday, and at onetime it was asserted that both he Mayor Grace, together with James S.

F., say that the schooner Gardner W. Tart, from Grand banks, reports the loss of four men. While attending the trawls in a dense fog six of the crew went astray. Two of the men were afterward picked up, but the rest have not been heard from. The schooner Electa A. Eaton, from Grand banks, reports losing four men who went astray on Aug. 8 while attending trawls. The burgomaster of Brussels has definitely authorized the holding of a Socialist meeting on Sunday next, on the condition that the procession shall avoid the vicinity of the royal palace. ~~ The example of the New York banks will enable the business men of New York to follow it. It will be imitated by most of the other large cities. When every bank in the country finds its New York account kept in gold it will issue gold drafts, which, circulating over the country, will do much to remind the people that gold is really the standard and to holp them to do business on a gold basis. If the country banks have a gold basis their customers can have also. A reporter visited District Attorney Martine, who emphatically denied the rumors, adding that be did not think such a thing possible and asserting most vehemently that no suoh indictments had been procured. Chicago, Aug. 13.—The woman whose body was found near the northwestern city limits, shot through the body, has beon identified as that of Mrs. Mary Strobel, the wife of a Bohemian saloon keeper, and it has been ascertained that the man who killed her was one Anton Pekcsky, a Bohemian, who shot himself dead in Lincoln park yesterday. Matthias Strobel, the husband of the woman, testified at the inquest that his wife tended bar for him, and was friendly to young Pekesky, but, ps far as he knew, there was no criminal intimacy. The jury returned a yerdict to the effect that Mrs. Strobel died from wounds inflicted by Pekesky. A Double Tragedy. A HOT WAVE OOMINQ. The Heat Intense Throughout the West Yesterday. Chagrin Falu, O., Ag. 12.—Dr. D. W. Bliss, of Washington, who is visiting relatives here, Is suffering so seriously from the effects of a runaway accident In Cleveland a week ago, that grave fears are felt that he may not recover. Dr. Bliss is well known as the physician who attended Gen. Garfield during his last illness. ' Dr. Bills In Danger. New York, Aug. 12,—After the pleasant weather of the past few days yesterday scorned an exceedingly hot day. Men and car horse* suffered alike. The thermometer, however, failed to record the sensible heat, and gave an imperfect idea oI how hot the day was. The temperature recorded at noon was 80 degrees, and the highest temperature of the day at 3:90 o'clock was 87 degrees. The mercury had fallen 2 degrees at 6 o'clock. Bat the general talk about town waa to the affect that Chamberlain Ivins had severely committed Mm—W as a co-operator with Thompeon, Flynn and Squire out of his own mouth, and that the district attorney could not avoid the indictment of both Ivina and the mayor. Why cannot the New York city banks do this? During the war California .remained on a gold standard, although the laws were as bad then as now. Public opinion then kept men there from paying debts in depreciated greenbacks; public opinion can do as much with' us now, and especially if supplemented in all commercial paper by the words "in gold coin," which hare a legal effect. No law of congress can prevent us from buying and selling for gold only. The law forbidding a national bank to refuse silver from the clearing house will be of no consequence if they agree never to offer silver. And better leave the national system, if thereby they can save the country from the consequences of a fall to a silver standard. At the Hoffman house last evening beta were freely offered nuking for long odds that City Chamberlain Ivins would be indictod within a week, and Mayor Grace within two weeks, but there were no takers. One gentleman offend to take both beta together as one bet, but beyond this there Were no takers, Logan Uoniied.

It would be well to begin gold accounts and notes "payable in gold" now. The stook exchange has already taken the step: no bonds can be listed there unless payable in gold. No one can object now. Beginning thus early to educate men to true ideas, by the time the crisis comes much of our paper will read "payable in gold coin." If any man thereafter forces us to take legal tenders or silver in place of gold for a debt previously contracted we can refuse to have any more dealings with such a *»an, and publish him to the other banks. Few would refuse to do so honestly under such circumstances.

In Peabody a strong detachment of state officers aided the local police in shielding Osborn's men from attack. The manufacturers in both towns are putting up barracks and announce that they will employ all men that offer. By next Saturday it is not improbable that 200 new men will be at work. The efforts of the strikers to buy off the workers are futile. Of course this may not prevent the payment of the government bonds and many private obligations in depreciated currency, but it would avert the incalu&ble injury to the country a change to a silver basis would entail  The friends of the club say they do not fear Die result, while ita enemies say that if the committee does its duty some of the members of the club will have to leave the city.
