There have been q great many singular de-
yelopments connected with the Rogers MUIR
der. the latest Of which is uufolded in the mar
ratiye of MIR. Everett B. Delaney, formerly q
detective officer in New York. Some time last |
year he was first mate on board of steamer
which numbered among its deck hands o fell
low named James Mahar. Between Delauoy
and Mahar an intimacy sprang up, aud the
latter, being in destitute condition, was Pre-
sented by his friend with felt hat and a dark
blue flannel coat. Both men afterwards left
the boat, and their association began gradually
to die out. On the morning after the Rogers
murder, Delaney met his former friend IN Unl-
versiry place, tapped him on the shoulder, and
said, sJlm !" ''Jim" sprang as though he had
been shot, and before MIR. D. could express his
surprise at this, and ask an explanation,
friend accosted him, and Jim slipped away.
This circumstance. tho fellows name, and
some other straws, gave the eS-detectiGe an
idea. He sought out Sergeant Lowry, and re-
ouested permission to examine the hat and
coat which had belonged to the murderer, aud
identified them at once as the articles which he
had given to Mahar. OF course the latter was
sought out and arrested
"A New York letter Of Wednesday says
sour business men generally take hopeful
view Of the trade prospect, and expect q much
better season when the spying opens than the
last one. They look for great increase IN
the trade Of the South, where the paoplo are
much better off pecuniarlly than they were
year ago. anil they also expect better and
healthier trade with the West than they have
had for some years. In anticipation OF an &C
tive season, the importers have sent much
larger orders abroad than they did last year or
the year before. And the import ontries this
wear thus far show great increase over those OF
the same period IN 1868. Last week. for instance,
they we're more than double those of the Same
week in 1853 1t is possible That our merchants
are too sanguine, but certainly they arc great
deal more hopeful than they were year ago,
and they say their advices from the South and
West are encouraging. The New York city |
trade has been SO much oVerdone during the
East few years that it is not likely to be par
ticularly profitable, either to retail or whole
sale dealers. for some time, but the out of town
trade, aud especially that OF the distant sec
tions named, is expected to make up for de-
ficienoies at home. A few weeks will probably
show whether the expectations of importers
and jobbers, in regard to activity in the spring,
are well found, or not"
