THE TRADE OUTLOOK. Prospect* Flattering for & Good Fall Business. _ R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: In all directions business prospects continue encouraging, and the changes during the last week have been on the right side. Exports increase, and a speculative rise in breedstufis has beeu checked. Interior cities report increase in the volume of trade, and the money markets continue amply supplied, though rates are gradually hardening. The great industries appear to be in fully as good condition as last week, with clearer evidence of improvement in iron. Further crop news sustains government advices and strengthens the prevailing impression that the August report as to wheat wan less favorable than the actual situation. In spite of small advances in some prcducts the general range of prices has not materially changed, and railroad earnings continue good, though all controversies have not as yet been cleqred away. Telegraphic reports from interior cltieif all agree that the crop pros-* pects are excellent, and that the banks are as yet amply supplied with funds, while the demand tor money is slowly increasing and lenders are a little more cautious at some points. Wool is dull, dealers waiting for an advance and manufacturers for a fall in prices, the mills meanwhile working much below their full capacity. But there are some signs of improvement in the clothing trale. Wheat advanced 2 cents, reacted, and closed only cent higher than a week ago. Corn rose nearly 1 cent, but closed with only *4 cent advance, oats retaining the rise of 54. Pork products are generally lower, and cotton unchanged. An advance in some styles of cotton goods is by many expected, and the jobbing movement is large. The trade in drugs and chemicals has also notably revived, though dyestuffs are still dull. The coal trade is flat and disappointing. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the seven days included in the report number for the United States 181, and for Canada 32, or a total of 213, as compared with a total of 201 the previous week. For the corresponding week last year the figures were 219, made up of 187 in the United States and 32 in Canada. JUSTICE FIELD ARRESTED. He Secures an Immediate Release on Habeas Corpus Proceedings. Sheriff Cunningham of Stockton arrived at San Francisco with a warrant for the arrest of Justice Field in connection with the shooting of Judge Terry, having applied to Judge Rix of the police court to indorse it. Judge Rix asked the advice of District Attorney Page. The latter expressed the opinion that the warrant should be indorsed, that it was issued in regular form, and that the Judge should not consider the individuality of the person against whom It was directed. Judge Rix finally indorsed the warrant and placed it the hands of Sheriff Cunningham, who went at once to the United States Appraiser’s Building, where Justice Field’s chambers are located. Justice Field was at his office, and with Judge Brewer, of Kansas, and Judge Sawyer awaited the arrival of the Sheriff. Sheriff Cunningam, accompanied* by Chief of Police Crowley, Captain Lees. and Unitel States Marshal Franks, proceeded to Justice Field’s chambers, presented the warrant and formally made the arrest. Application was made at once for the writ of habeas corpus. Judge Sawyer granted the writ, and retired to the Circuit Court room. District Attorney Carey announced that Sheriff Cunningham had obeyed the writ of habeas .corpus and produced the prisoner, and that he now awaited the further pleasure of the court. Judge Sawyer ordered Ju-tice Field’s release, fixing the bail at $5,003, pending the hearing of the case. PLANNED TO KILL FIVE MEN. A Farmer’s Alleged Conspiracy Against the Lives of His Neighbors. A plot to kill live farmers has been disclosed at Winamac, Ind., by Charles Lytle, who filed an affidavit against John Sutton, charging the latter with conspiring to put strychnine in whisky and give it to the men, all of whom are neighbors of Sutton, and then to burn their barns, and also "the Odd Fellows’ Building at Star City. Lytle was to receive $5 for his >vork when completed. Sutton is one of the wealthiest farmers of that section, owning about one thousand acres of land and real estate. A previous quarrel with his neighbors is the alleged reason of Sutton for formihg the plan to kill them. Sheriff Burton arrested Sutton at his farm, and he will have a preliminary trial to await the action of the next term of court.

A STRANGE TRAGEDY.

TWO MICHIGAN OFFICERS SHOT DOWN DOING THEIR DUTY. An Attempt by Charles T. Wright to Prevent the Seizure of His L,ogs for NonPayment of Taxes Results Fatally to Two Men—The Murderer in Custody. A Frankfort (Mich.) dispatch says: The steamer Dewar returned from Otter creek, having on board Sheriff Case and a posse, also C. T. Wright, who killed Officers Marshall and Thurber Saturday night. The body of Deputy Sheriff Marshall, which is now lying at Watson’s undertaking rooms, is being prepared for burial. The trouble which culminated so tragically Saturday originated years ago in the refusal of Wright, as president of the Otter Creek Lumber company, to pay taxes on his mill property, which is located in Aral township. The town has never questioned its right to the taxes, but Wright’s steady refusal to pay them and his influence over the rather rough men in his employ made collection a very difficult task. Three weeks ago the sheriff seized a number of logs belonging to the Otter Creek company, and Charles T. Wright made several determined efforts to regain possession of the stock, but failed, owing to his inability to furnish what the authorities deemed a good and sufficient indemnity bond. In consequence of this seizure, the mill has been idle for some time. Wright put in an appearance at the mill with a force of men Saturday and swore that he would have possession of the logs. T nder Sheriff Marshall and Supervisor Thurber, accompanied by a posse, were guarding the property in the interests of the township, and Marshall tried to dissuade Wright from doing anything hasty. Wright would not listen to reason, and ordered bis men to release the logs and to shoot the first man who interfered. Marshall and ihurber drew their revolvers and in the name of the State called on the mob to disperse" and not to molest in any way the property at issue. Wright’s men fell back. Whereupon Wright himself, whit? with rage, made a move toward the logs and the under sheriff discharged his weapon into the air. The harmless action was answered by Wright, who shot to kill, and at the first report Thurber fell, shot through the brain. Marshall called upon his men to arr st the murderer and uphold the law. A moment later he too, fell, mortally wounded. But the mill hands, who had lent Wright some encouragement by their presence, saw the magnitude of the crime even before its enraged perpetrator, and fell back, leaving ’him alone. Wright walked away, caressing his Martini rifle, and disappeared in the timber back of the mill, his friends joining him and planning at once for his escape.

The news of the murder and the prominence of all parties concerned, spread like wildfire over the country. The sheriff on arriving at the scene of the tragedy assembled over 200 brawny settlers with a fixed determination to hang the murderer. The crowd learned that an Indian knew Wright’s hiding place, he was asked to reveal it, but on getting no answer the heaving line of the propeller Dewar was placed around his neck and he was hung up to a pine tree until nearly strangled, and let down to get his story. He at last confessed that Wright was hiding on the north bluffs and had made arrangements with him to await the departure of the lumber barge Seymour; then to meet him at the sand bluffs with a skiff and placs him on board. The bookkeeper, Fred Crosset was questioned. He confessed all he knew of the crime, during the midst of which Wright suddenly appeared at the edge of the woods and voluntarily surrendered to the sheriff, and, at the same time, claiming protection. He was taken on board the steamer, and is now lodged at Frankfort jail, with armed guards on watch to prevent any attempted violence.

The story of the capture is thus told, by Krouse: After the hanging and confession of the Indian I started out to the north of town, near the timber, with Constable Ernest, searching for Wright. We heard a slight cracking of twigs, and, being old hunters, listened. Ernest said: “There is a man dodging from tree to tree.” Soon I covered ths man with my rifle, calling, “Come out of there.” I heard an unintelligible answer, but I recognized the voice. I said: “Is that you, Charley?” A nervous answer, “Yes, Ed, for God’s sake don’t let them shoot me.” Wright then came toward me with his hands up. I cautioned him to keep quiet and cool, and then called for Sheriff Case. At this some of the crowd rushed up howling and yelling in rage. One of the first to arrive was William Marshall, a brother of the murdered Deputy, with a rifle, calling, “Are you the man who shot and killed mv brother?" Wright nervously answered, “No, sir.” Marshall raised his rifle I sprang forward and wrested the gun away Other deputies then came to my assistance, forming a circle about Wright, and kept the crowd away. We handcuffed him, and in searching him found a forty-four caliber bulldog revolver in his right hip pocket. We hurriedly marched him to his residence a;id placed him under arrest before the rest of the settlers were aware of his capture. Mrs. Wright had just returned from an absence of several months in lowa and Wisconsin, and the meeting between husband and wife was pitiful in the extreme. In an hour the officers quietly slipped Wright out the back way and through a strip of woods to the lake shore, then on board the steamer Dewar, and immediately departed for Frankfort.

BOUND TO BURN DANBURY.

Nine Incendiary Fires Within One Week in the Connecticut Town. Danbury, Conn., is under great excitement over a continuance of incendiary fires, there being three more this morning, destroying or damaging ten buildings and resulting in the loss of one life. The Danbury house, next to the fire department headquarters, was saturated with oil and fired while forty people were in the building, either in the bar room or asleep up-stairs. Soon afterward a large stable in the rear of the Central hotel, on White street, was burned. Two men were seen running away before the flames were discovered. Eight buildings were destroyed, causing considerable loss. At daylight the body of a man was found burned to a crisp in the ruins of the stable. It is supposed to be Barney Van Wise, a hostler. At 4 a. m. Sunday morning the family of William Dugan, of South street, was nearly suffocated. Some one entered the house by a windu.., cut a hole in the wall, filled it with oil and fired the building, afterward repeating the attempt twice. Four arrests have been made. Nine similar finis have occurred during the past week,
