AIIeeneny Cattle Market.
ALLEGHENY, April %.

ALLEGHENY, April %.
6ATTLE.-With full supply of cattle
on Monday and only fair demand,
the market was little weak and, COM
pared with last week, prices ruled a
Quarter lower. The whole number on
sale footed up eight hundred head,
which is more than the retail trade re-
Quires, and with little or no inquiry for
shipment, and very unfaVorRble ad-
concluded to put prices down quar-
ter and close out as early as possible.
New York is reported as having drop
ped full cent last week, while here
lhe decline was comparatively insig-
nificant. New York buyers, however,
If there had been any here, would have
refused to buy unless there had been a
corresponding decline conceded, and,
this being the case, the butchers were
the best buyers. Prime to extra fat
steers sold at SaSMc, and good to medi-
um at 7a717c. Stock cattle range from
5Xa6Hc, and fresh cows from $4OaSO
per head.
SHEEP-There was very light sup.
ply OF sheep on sale Monday, and the
few that were here were mostly of an
inferior quality. The demand, howev-
or, was only moderate, as most of the
butchers appear to be getting all the
sheep they want in the adjoining coun-
try at less than cost here, and of finer
quality, and in better condition. Prices
range from 5a7c.
Hoas-The retail demand for this
class of stock has fallen off very much,
and prices are slowly but surely declin-
ing, though still high enough in all
conscience. We now quote in retail
way at Slla12 per cwt Ior fair to prime
heavy averages.

y7ne New YORK Newspaper Scandal.

NEW YORK, April 27-Midnight.
A change in the I1i6une'S editorial
management will probably be made
tomorrow. Mr.. Greeley and Mr.. Sin
clair have not returned, and no meet
| ing of stockholders can be held in their
absence. Mr.. Young and his friends
remained at the Tribune Office this
morning until a copy of the Sun was
received, when Young started at once
| for Philadelphia. 1t is understood he
has threatened libel suit against the
Sun, but the latter has not yet received
notice. The exposure caused much ex-
citement in New York and Philadel-
phia, and many kilograms have been
received about it from the latter city.
The EVening Post says it will certainly
be more necessary than ever for all
membe of the press who wish to save
it from disgrace to join not merely in
denounclng the impostor now exposed,
but in keeping the rest of the profes.
sion entirely above all kindred suspi-
cions.
Chas. A. Dana, editor-in-chief of the
Sun, was arrested tonight on the charge
OF libel upon John Russell Young, in
! the exposure published in the SuI to-
day. Bail was fixed at $4,000. Mr..
| Young is at the Tribune Office tonight.
1t Is understood the stockholders have
| a meeting Tomorrow or Thursday. Mr..
Greeley and Mr.. Sinclair have return.
ed.
The Sun, tomorrow, will contain
editorial on Young's.case, announcing
the libel suit, and saying "The reasons
| for exposing these transactions OF
Young appear to us very clear and very
conclusive. He has for some years oc-
cupied leading place on one the most
important and influential journals OF
the country. That journal owes the
position which 1t holds in the public
esteem to the honesty and cOnscien~
tiousness with which it has been con-
Quoted, In selecting MIR. Young for
his responsible Office, it's proprietors
have put themselves into the hands of
QUE who is, according to the evidence OF
his own letters, an uuscrupulOus intri-
| puer, who has used his great power for
improper purposes. He has not broken
apV statute, he has promised nothing
| more than he was able to perform. de
is not guilty of any otteGse OF which
the criminal code takes cogniZance.
The only method of reaching, checking
and Furnishing his wrong doing Is to
bring it to the bar of public opinion, 10
expose it, to hold 1t up as 1t ls. bis
deeds have been committed under the
cover of respecta billty and the good in-
fluence of tbs press, and 1t was Tor tne
press to take action against them. This
is what we have done, and under STINT
lar circumstances we should not iall 10
do 1t again."
tits rumored tonight that other ar
rests will be made tomorrow morning,
possibly to include all the attaches OF
the Sun office.
Mr.. Young will publish card to-
morrow replying to the Suns exposure,
! and denying the principal charges.

CAMBRIDGE CITY, April %.
Judge johnson, OF Centreville, came
here on visit to his father who Is an
old but prominent physician. His
mother who is sick had in her room a
bottle containing Aconite and one con-
tanning tincture of Gentian, and
through mistake the Judge took a
swallow of the Aconite for Gentian,
which produced death In less than
thirty minutes in spite OF every effort
that could be used to counteract the
poison. This is a sad calamity and has
thrown deep gloom over our city. The
Judge Is we'll known in Indiana, he
was Judge of the Criminal Court and Is
highly respected as an Attorney and a
man.
