There have been great many singular de-
velopments connected with the Rogers mur-
der, the latest Of which is uufolded in the mar
rative of Mr.. Everett B. Delaney, formerly @
detective officer in New York. Some time last
year he was first mate on board VI @ steamer
which numbered among it's deck hands fell
low named James Mahar. Between Delaney
and Mahar an intimacy sprang up, and the
latter, being in destitute condition. was pre-
scented by his frierid with felt nat and q 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 Uni
versity place, tapped him on the shoulder, and
said, sJlm!" ''Jim" sprang as though he had
been shot, and before Mr.. d. could express his
surprise at this, and ask an explanation, o.
friend accosted him; and ''Jina" slipped away.
This circumstance, the fellows name, and
some other straws, gave the exidetectiye an
idea. He sought out Sergeant Lowry, and re-
quested permission to examine the hat and
coat which had belonged to the murderer, and
a identified them at once as the articles whichhe
had given to Mahar. OF course the latter was
sought out and arrested. EJS ,', y.
A New York letter Of Wednesday SAYS
"Our business men generally take hopeful
view OF the trade prospect, and expect a much
better season when the spring opens than the
last one. They look for great increase in
the trade Of the South, where che people are
much better off pecuniarlly than they were a
year ago, and they also expect q better and
healthier trade with the West than they have
had for some years. In anticipation OF an ac-
tive season, the importers have sent much
larger orders abroad than they did last year or
the year before. And the import entries this
year thus far show great increase ovor those OF
the same period in 1868. Last week. for instance,
they were more than double those Of the same!
week in 1868. It is possible that our merchants
ARE too sanguine, but certainly they are great
deal more hopeful than they were q year ego,
end they ssy their adyioes from She senth and
West ere encouraging. The New York oity
trade has been so much overdone during the
past few years that It is not likely TO be par
ticularly profitable, either to retail OF. whole
sale dealers. for some time, bat the out Of town
trade. and especially thAt Of the distant sec-
tions named, is expected TO make up for de-
.fciencies ut home. A few weeks will probably
show whether the expectations 0f importers
and jobbers in regard to activity in the spring,
ARE well founded or not" s TIL "a
