Seven Children Committed Yesterday. Five children of Margaret Cullom df 95 Putnam street were sent to the coun ty home yesterday afternoon.

CMAPEL STREET XEW YORK HOXDS IX TjOXDOX. Failure of Efforts to Prevent Their Snle The Sterling Exchange Market. New York, May 14. The Evening Post says: It was formally announced to-day by Brown Brothers & Co., the bankers, that the $4,000,000 of New York city S rer cent, gold bonds which Were offered for sale in London on Monday by their agents there, Brown, Shipley & Co., for the Vermllye syndicate, had all been taken on a 3 per cent, basis. Although it was known that the issue had been over subscribed for, notwithstanding the ef forts that were made in certain quar ters to interfere with the success of the sale, Messrs. Brown Brothers & Co. de clined to give out any figures as to the amount of the bids, etc., saying it was not their custom to do so. Private ad Vices from London to-day also con firmed the report of the sale of the entire issue of bonds. Sterling ex change will be sold against these bonds as they are paid for and when the ex change market here is favorable. Just at present in consequence of the pur chases of gold here by Germany for Russia the sterling exchange market is inclined to be weak with rates slightly lower. As is the custom in London, the New York bonds are to be paid for in instalments, but the sale makes $4,000, 000 of exchange to be sold Borne time. There is also $4,000,000 more sterling in the market or to come in the market on account of the Massachusetts state bonds sold for Blake Brothers & Co. in London, besides part, if not all, of the $3,000,000 of the Pan Handle 4 per cent, gold bonds which will be. offered in London, Frankfort, and this city sim ultaneously to-morrow at 102 and ac crued interest. It was believed the en tire offering will be placed in Europe. The sale of all these bonds in Europe is, bankers say, the one gleam of sunshine visible at the present time through the cloud on the financial and business world caused by the uncertainty as to the views of the leading candidate for the republican nomination for president on the silver and currency questions. There was some uncertainty to-day as to whether any gold would be ex ported on Saturday or not. It was gen erally considered likely, however, that some would be sent to Paris by Lazard Freres. There was $300,000 in gold withdrawn from the sub-treasury to day. The gold was taken, it was said, for shipment to Canada. An absurd report that it had been taken to the clearing house was of course denied. Wedded LaBt Evening. The wedding of Miss Edna Lavina Gates and Mr. Walter Thompson Kel ley, the program of which was given in the Courier Thursday morning, took place in Davenport church yesterday evening. Rev.

Assistant Treas urer Conrad N. Jordan, who has been visiting relatives at Fortress Monroe, returned to this city yesterday. At the sub-treasury this morning he said that, notwithstanding the recent attacks made upon the authenticity of the brown stone slab, which has heretofore been accepted as the identical stone upon which George Washington stood when he took the oath of ofllce as the first president o the United States, there was no doubt in his mind of the gen uineness of the relic. "Why," continued Mr. Jordan, "if the stone, as reported, had really been dis carded by the Bellevue authorltis as worthless and cast out to form part of a roadway it couldn't have continued to exist under the heavy traffic. Its ma terial is such that if the story were a fact the stone would not now be a stone. It woujd quickly have disintegrated into dust. At any rate, these attacks are not going to change any of our plans and the relic will, as intended, be set lip under glass inside the sub treas ury. IOWA riiOIUJilTIOXISTS.
