HORRIBLE INFANTECIDE.

In case OF alleged child murder re-
Gently tried in the Atlantic county IN.
j. courts, revelations are made OF q
state of civilization existing In the
neighhorhood OF the crime EGG HSrbor
Township at which the blood runs cold.
The following is the testimony Of the
chief witness in this atrocious case:
Mr.. Steedmsn came after me;
heard him tell my husband he wanted
me; L went up into the chamber and
saw q baby lying on the bed; the baby
was alive when l went in; David Steel
man was there and Mary and Msry's
mother; MaIy said, come up, the young
one is here;' David asked Mary what
she was fooling about she said; David
you come and do it, and he said, Il
shsnt : che said, you promised me you
would do it, and he said again, I shsnt
do it, and she went at it herself-kiiling
the baby; l asked her what she was at,
and she said she was trying to kill her
young one; saw her choke il; she put
one hand (the right on its throat 1
asked her again what she was doing,
and she said she was killing her young
one asked her how she was doing It,
and she showed me; David said he did
not care d-n about this young one, be-
longed to Elias Smith, and he wasn't go
ing to take care Of it (; l think her moth
er asked her If the child was dead David
had then taken it of to bury it when
this question was asked; Mary Steel
mans mother was present almost all the
time; 1 was present little bit before and
= little bis after; when she choked the
child shs was sitting on her knees in the
bed the child was on the outsids-on
the bed-clothes; there was something
set upon the bs5, and Mary took hold Of
the child and doubled it up and put it in
1t; l don't know whether anything else
was in it or not David took it and put
cloth over it, and he went down stairs
with it, and that's all I can tell you; 1
heard the child cry; I didn't see mo-
ton; wss scared; was as close to the
bed as am TO you; heard it once after
/ went up stairs abs said to her motLar
sac never saw anything SO long dying
ss this baby gaS, ana she said 1t beat
anything; l was up there three-qusrters
Of an hour; 1t was between eight and
niue o'clock in the morning.
The Bridgton Patriot says the Jury re-
turned verdict of not guilty, after be-
ing out three Aours, but upon what
grounds 1t is not stated.

These returns are OF no slight import
snce as illustrating the fact that notwith-
standing unusually large supplies re-
ceiyed from English farmers, the stock
on hand exhibited q marked decrease on
the 3lst Of August as compared with that
OF the preceding month. The supply OF
flour, August 81, was less by "A, 500 cwts,
and the stock of wheat was 81 ,334 qrs.
less than on the 3lst OF July. This re-
ductlon OF stock shows the new supplies
Of wheat were rapidly absorbed for i'm
mediate eoDsunlptiOD, The fact is the
new harvest found stocks unusually low,
although it ives so early that only eleven
months consumption had to be provided
for during the last harvest year. Bat
this probably throws e thirteen months
demand on the current year, ard will
occasion increased supplies. The English
harvest is estimated at not more than
1900, 900 quarters of wheat, and ST.
though this is nearly if not quite an
average, yet it falls far short OF English
consumption, so that there is kelly to be
good market for foreign grain at fair
profits. 1t is Significant that there is
scarcely any old wheat in competition
with the new grain.
France had almost ceased to compete
for foreign wheat supplies, q sure sign
Of good home harvest. The consump-
ton Of foreign wheat, however, has been
recently unusually large in thst country.
During the six months ending June so,
1868, France bought $3.50, 500 metrioal
Guintels Of wheat, as compared with
l, ,734, 500 metricsl quintsls in the CORES
pOndiBg period in 1857, and 1880 metri-
cal quintsls in the corresponding six
months in 1855. The only country that
seems to be absolutely short is Spain, a
fact that may go far towards intensity
ing the political troubles in that country.
But Spain Is not an extensive grain con-
suming country, and the deficiency will
scarcely exercise much influence upon
the markets.
The present aspect of the European
grain trade ms-z be briefly characterized
as offering far market for American
supplies, bgt st minimum profits. The
large returns arising from general scarci-
ty are not to be looked for In the present
phases Of the market. The only contin-
gency that is likely to change this aspect
is the event of European war, which,
it must be adpitted, appears more i'm
minent all the time. The collision may
be postponed until the spring, but when
1t comes it will arrest the regular Euro
pean grain movements, aud result in a
largely Increased demand for American
breadstuffs

We copy as follows from the New York
Democrat Of the 23d
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Pomsroy LEFT
the city to fill engagements on the stump
in the Interior, and has played us q nice
trick. Finding q returned soldier on
the street with an old hand-orgsn. on
which he pays ten dollars 8 year license,
which goes to the support Of the bond,
holders, he hired him to come to the
Office Of the Democrat, and from one
till four every afternoon play Dixie,n
And here he Is under our window.
We like SC, bat the editors of the StEll are
outraged One of them says it is q id
nuisance Another says Is is damnable! /!
And there he sits and gTinds
"oh, wish I was in Dixie,
Way down South in DIxisv'
hour after hour. The msn won't move.
for he says POEnsrOy hired him by the
week, The SssR folks don't like it.
Passers by wonder why in thunder he
don't change his tune. One man, from
Goshen, Orange county, stood there an
hour to-day, waiting to hear the next
tune. But no other one comes out of the
horr!d instrument. And there he sits,
grinding
Way down South in Dixie;
Oh, wish l was in Bixie"
Yesterday, Pomeroy had a row about
the matter. A Radical, who offices close
by, came down and ordered the soldier
to move on!
9 Can't DO it,n replied the cripple.
e"'Csuse Pm hired to stay here, on
these steps, under this window, and
play this iere tuns!u v
"Well, III see, and up stairs came
the excited Radical. He rGved and
swcre, threatened arrest, and all sorts of
trouble.
Cant help it,n said Pomeroy-" that
man was q s0ldier-he fought-he saved

for che season, and shall have him play
that same tune, day after day, to remind
the workingnen that

said ne, "H you touch that soldier, I'll

And the man is still grinding away,

How long he Is to grind at that mill,
God and Pomeroy only know. But it's 5
funny idea, compelling Us to sit here

DUELnrNa.- are glad to see that Sec retary Seward has rebuked the bellgerent Minister to Costa Rica:-
 Accompanying the nomination of Thad- deus Mott as Minister Resident to Costa Rica, are two letters from the Secretary of State, explanatory of the reasons for the recall of A. G. Lawrence. The first is ad- dressed to Col. Lawrence, and is as follows:
 "To A. GALLATIN LAWRENCE, Esq. :- &,:-It is Q matter of public notorietY, and it is believed unquestionable, that you have been principal party to duel near this City. By this step you have violated the act of Congress approved Feb. 20, 1S39,e ,en- titled "An Act to prohibit the giving or accepting within this District of Columbia a challenge to fight @ duel, or for other purposes. This proceeding on your part is the more to be regretted and the more unaccountable as your military experience must have made you familiar with the 25th article of war. which prohibits any officer or soldier sending or accepting challenge to fight duel upon pain of being cashier ed. The President, therefore, entertaining the opinion that under the circumstances, the offence on your part, above referred to, against the law, renders it unbecoming
 
 United States as their Minister to Costa Rica, has deemed it advisable to nominate to the Senate successor to you in that character, In his message making the nomination, he has set forth his reasons therefor. If, however, you should deem it advisable to leave Costa Rica before your successor shall arrive, the accompanying sealed letter to the President of that Re- public, announcing your recal, will enable you to do so with propriety. In that event you will commit the archives of the lega- tion to the custody of some respectable citizen of the United States.
 Yours, &c., VIM. H. SEWARD"
 The following letter of Mir. Seward is addressed, under the same date, to the Bar on Gerolt, the Russian Minister:- "S1R:-It is my painful duty to bring to your attention the fact, concerning the truth of which there is believed to be no question, that Baron Henry von Kusserow, the secretary, and Count Lothum, an att tache of your legation, have been guilty, the former as principal, the latter as sec- ond, of violating the act of Congress ap- proved Feb. I20. 1889, entitled, "An act to prohibit the giving or accepting, within the District of Columbia, of challenge to fight duel, and for punishment thereof" Although these gentlemen are protected by the laws of nations from judicial prosecu- tion for violation of the statute aforesaid, the President, nevertheless, directs mo to request that you, without delay, call the attention of your Government to the mat ter, in order that Baron von Kosserow and Count Lothum may in proper manner be made sensible of its displeasure.
 I avail myself of this occasion to renew the assurance of my highest consideration. VIM. H. SEWARD"
