and also for discouragement can be found by those who seek that and nothing else. But business men who want to sec the situation exactly as it is find accounts so far conflicting that it is difficult to strike a balance. In the aggregate, business is about a tenth larger than last year, but still falls about 25 ]ier cent below a full volume for the
season.
The iron business after its great increuso of output last month shows a disappointing weakness at all eastern and central markets with consumption not large enough to keep fairly employed the mills in operation. Bt*semer pig is lower at $11.50 at Pittsburg and the business in most manufactured products there and at Philadelphia is generally done at some concessions, though in structural work and in sheets the demand is excellent.

Akron, Colo., Sept. 22.—A verdict of manslaughter has been returned by the jury before which Dr. D. G. Deck was tried for the murder of his wife. It was shown that the doctor, in order to get possession of property belonging to his
wife and to get her out of
that he could marry again, killed her by slow poison. Mrs. Deck made a will giving her husband sill her property. Just before she died, however, unknown to the doctor, she changed the will, giv-

Livingston was standing at the news and cigar stand, when Desha Breckinridge came in and bought a package of cigarettes. Livingston spoke to Desha and extended his hand, saying: “It is all over now; we ought to be friends. Shake hands.” Breckinridge, with an angry look on lis face, replied: "No, you one-horse scoundrel, I will not take your hand. You profess to be a man’s friend and
then stab him in the back.”
Livingston replied to this by saying that he had done nothing of the kind, when Breckinridge called him a d d

The strike at Fall River and New Bedford has not ceased and aliout a dozen additional cottonmills have gone into operation elsewhere, several with reduced wages, but the orders for the present are narrow and much smaller than usual, although recent advances m prices are maintained. The demand for woolen dress goods is better and will occupy some mills until December. Breadstuff's are weaker, possibly because. the government official report went so far in predicting short crops its to cause a reaction in opinion. While lower estimates of corn are commonly accepted, the price fell 3 1 •> cents and men are reasoning that if the official estimate of wheat has been found 100,000,000 bushels out of the way, the corn estimate may err 400,000,000 to 500,000,000 bushels. While corn declined, neither ]>ork nor lard yielded in price here, though lower at Chicago. Wheat receipts were 5,481,418 bushels against 5,082,020 last year, and Atlantic exports only 902,880, against 1,808,384 bust year, and prices fell 1 cent.

Kctnnin* of Eli McDnutal* Found In the Mixhouri Klver. Atchison, Kan., Sept. 22.—The remains of Eli McDaniels, who mysteriously disappeared over 20 years ago, were found yesterday near Kickapoo. William Adkiusou was walking along the river bank when he saw the remains of a man out in the Missouri river. An | investigation revealed only a skeleton in a badly decayed suit of clothes. Drake Spencer, an old settler of Kickapoo, t identified the remains bv a wooden leg and articles in the clothes as those of Eli McDaniels. Foul play was suspected at the time he disappeared. The body has probably been buried all these years in the sand, which preserved the

Condition of General Trade an Improre-

New York, Sept. 22.—Bradstreet says today: The condition of general trade this week is an improvement over one week ago, in that favorable features reported then have been maintained. The surprisingly gtxsl reports of business south and, with some exceptions, west are indicated by onr special advices from Baltimore, Nashville, Chicago, Kt. Louis, Portland, Or. and San Francisco. Baltimore jobliers in all leading lines report the volume of merchandise distributed iu excess of expectations, especially dry goods in South Carolina, Georgia and

Bristol, Tenn., Sept. 22.—News has just reached here of the assassination of Janies Darecy, a merchant on White Top mountain, Va., Wednesday night. The information is that Darcey posted revenue officers regarding the location of illicit distillers on the mountain, ; which resulted in the capture and incarceration of a moonshiner named Woods, others narrowly escaping. Unknown parties, evidently friends of Woods, went to Darcoy's home and call- , ing him out riddled his body with bullets. Darcey was a good citizen and was opposed to the lawless practices resorted to by the moonshiners. GIVEN A LIFE SENTENCE.

The cold steel sent a shudder through Livingston’s frame and he grasped his right hand with his left iu order to stop the flow of blood.

Trouble With a Judge.
Livingston was huroied into the washroom, where his wounds were bathed. Just before the trouble occurred with Livingston, Desha and Lane, who were walking up Main street, in front of the Breckinridge headquarters met Judge George B. Kinkead, who made several sjieechcs during the campaign denouncing Colonel Breckinridge in the most scathing terms. Desha Breckinridge said to Judge Kinkead that the election was over and he wanted to tell him that he was a liar. He also applied several other vile epithets to the judge, who replied that he was unarmed and did not want to have any difficulty on the open streets. Desha told him to go and arm himself and he would meet him anywhere or at anytime. The judge

DEATH
Cyclone Passes Tluoii<rli Iowa, Killing a Nmnlier of People. Emmkttsbprg, la.. Sept. 22.—A terrific cyclone passed over this section last evening, causing several deaths and the destruction of much property. The Foley House is demolished, a daughter is dead, and father, mother and sou are frightfully wounded. Mrs. Foley’s arms are both broken and she can hardly recover. Mrs. Alexander Golden is dead and Mr. Golden is not expected to live. At the little town of Cylinder there are two or three houses blown down and several persons injured seriously.
