There was big failure in town
Yesterday. viz: that of Austens d
Spcer, auc,ioneers, whose liabilities
amount to millions. Their paper was
considered just as good as the bank,
and it circulated freely. There was
not the slightest suspicion, yesterday
morning, of the shock that was to fall
like a thundcrboIt upon Wall'street
at 3P. NJ. In the forenoon General
Spicer might be seen selling away
with his usual equanimity and good
humor, yet of course he was aware
that at 3 o'clock this stock was bound
to GOMEZ | understood that the amount
of this paper protested Yesterday at
ternoon was $4,000. The papers
do not give the particulars. About
six months ago, Auslens " Splcer
refused to receive their own paper in
pay for goods sold by them for others
at auction, AMI this led to an inquiry
into their condition. They made a
statement, satisfied their creditors OF
their soIvency "some how" and con-
fidence in them was re.established.

Cecil county, between two and three
miles oil, at the time the murder is
supposed to have been committed
proving the aIibI by most respectable
witnesses. This man had been in
Mr.. Cosden's house on the same day
or the day previous, to mend the clock
and was invited to remain to dinner.
During the dinner hour Mr.. Cosden
had sent up stairs 10 borrow dollar
from Miss Webster. He was dis.
charged on proving the alibi, but was
Immediately arrested en- the charge of
having entered the house OF Mr..
Stevens. at Georgetown Cross Roads,
at IL o'clock on the previous night,
so as to have him at hand if further
testimony should connect him with
the transaction. He belongs to Del.
aware, in Appoquinomink hundred.
The third party arrested is William
Shelton, who is mill hand. in the
mill Of Mr.. VosheIl. in nearly the same
ncighborhood where Roberts came
from. The suspicion against him
arises from the fact OF his having re.
Gently bought Il double. bafrelled gun,
Il revolver or double'barreIcd pistol
and some dirk knives, at Smvrna.-
He had also been seen by a boy in
the mill casting bullets from some
particular kind of metal used in the
mill, whom he cautioned not TO say
any thing about it, or the possession
OF the gun and arms, all of which he
kept concealed to Mr.. VosheII. His
personal appearance corrcsponded
with that described by Mr.. Cosden
as the man who had shot and stab>
bed him, the bullets exactly fitted his
gun, and were of the same metal as
that used in the mill, and the door
bore the mark of having been broken
open by blow from the muzzlc OF a
double. barrclcd gun. He was also
absent from the mill, from the previ
Gus Tuesday until after the murder
when he was arrested at or near the
CeciIton Cross Roads. On these
grounds he was committed for further
examination, and all three arc now in
Kent county Jail.
The excitement against Roberts
was intense, and if he had not sue.
ceedcd in proving an albi, it is proba.
BILE that he would have been Iynched
forthwith by the people.
The boy who ran 10 Georgetown
Cross Roads states that he first ran
towards Mr.. Crouch's house, but
thinking he heard the robbers in the
stable. turned his course towards the
Cross Roads.
Mr.. Crouch also Immediately start
ed an express off to arouse the neigh.
bors, and on the arrival of two men
from the cross Roads in the vicinity
of the house, Miss Webster stated
that she heard their horses hoofs
when the assassins took fright and fled
having Just at that moment shot her.
Although she made no statement OF
the kind, the physicians, consisting OF
Drs. James Higbc. G. w. Graham
and John T.. Marsh. who examined
her body after death, as well as that
of Miss Cosden, state that an attempt
had been made to commit rape on
both of them, either before or alter
thew were SHOT.
The funeral Of the four victims, Mr..
and Mrs. Cosdcn, Miss Cosden, and
Miss Webster took place on Sunday
morning at a o'clock, and was at
tended by hundreds Of persons col.
Iectcd from many miles around. and
the excitement relative to the bloody
affair has had no parallel in that sac
ton Of country.
