A correspondent of the Missouri Democrat
writes frem Alton, Illinois, March 49,
Coroner Quarton summoned jury this morn
ing to hold an inquest on the body of man in

jury went to the Office of the Coroner, where
was elected the following
TESTIMONY.
w. w. Martin sworn-I reside on the south
east corner of Sixth and Henry streets, in this
city; am 81 years old; am carpenter and
builder; at about halfpast one o'clock this
morning, 18th March, my wife awOke me and
said burglars were working at the south window;
/ replied, 81 guess not" after u short time she
seized my arm and said There are certainly
burglars at the Window" raised myself up and
heard them on the porch working at the blind; l
started to go out; my wife called me back to
get my revolver; after obtaining 1t went to
n door opening on the porch; had my
revolver in my right hand; slid the bolt with my
left hand, and suddenly stepped upon the porch;
/ saw man ut the window, about five feet from
me; he had the blind open, and was STOPPING
down attempting to raise the window. He
jumped off the porch south and ran east; called
to him, and as he did not heed it, | snapped my
revolver, which failed to discharge; he ran into
a close place, and turned and ran towards me,
when fired my revolver ! called to him again;
he did not stop, but turned north; l fired again,
he ran perhaps twenty feet and fell.
When he ran towards me l thought he was
good chance at me and / at him. | supposed
he had an accomplice, perhaps in the house. l
called my neighbor, Charles Schafer. Schafer
brought two men with him; did not go near
the wounded man, but sent blankets to him by
Mr.. Challacomb; the man fell in Sixth street. A
year ago my provisions were stolen from my
cellar, and some six months since ] was robbed
on the same premises of clothing.
THE VERDICT.
The Coroners jury returned a verdict in
accordance with the sworn testimony, eXculpa-
ting Mr. Martin from blame.
BURGLARIES
have been alarmingly frequent here during the
last two years. and twice within the last year
Mr.. Martins premises have been invaded and
robbed. Some four or five years since burglar
was killed under similar circumstances by John
Challacomb at his residence one block below
Mr.. Martins, on the same street, and for two
years we had exemption from these pests. We
hope for similar results from this occurrence.
MIR. MARTIN
is prominent citizen, worthy man, member
of our City Council and he has the sympathy ol
our citizens IN having been made the unex.
pected and unwilling agent in shedding the
blood of fellow being, and their congratua.
tiogs for having rid society of public enemy.

THE NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
From the N. Y. Herald.

From the NJ Y. Herald
1T would seem that the speculative value of
the Funding bill is not to be suffered to be in
abeyance for the gold gamblers again employed
it to great advantage yesterday.
'"rhe frmer tone of the foreign exchanges
rendered the gold market strong in earlier trans
actions. The report that Secretary. Boutwell, had
made speech to (but no impression upon) the
Ways and Means Committee OF the House in
favor of the Funding bill rendered the market
active, and gold advanced to 1929. Here came
the story, next in turn, that Mr.. Boutwell, un-
successful with the committee, had gone before
the House. and was working most zealously for
the bill. and. moreover, for the bill with its
original features of foreign agencies. On this
announcement gold reacted to ll93s. The un-
dertone of the market Is temporarily very firm
and encouraging to the spectators on the 'bull'
side. The holders of gold paid three to five per
cent. to have their balances carried.
'The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank
were as folloWs:-God cleared, $41 1856, 900;
gold balances, $1,2O9,Ss4j currency balances,
II 1,472, ,592."

A few days since Mrs. Garner owning one of
the farms in question came to this city to pay
her taxes and visit her sister-in-law, Mrs. Gift
ford. Upon relating the particulars as above,
Mr.. Clifford was induced to accompany her
home, and Immediately commenced prospecting
for further evidence. Upon sinking shaft some
eighteen feet he reached qulcksand and gravel
SIX feet deep. The water came in 80 fast, and
the tools OF the men being insufficient, ii was
deemed advisable to suspend operations for some
length of time, when more extensive develop
ments will be made. The parties owning the
other farms will not consent, under any consi-
deration, to let an investigation be made, as the
indications are that this stratum only lies near
and on the line of a small creek. The existence
of gold may be fully established, but whether
the quality will pay for the labor expended is
the only doubt. ....

On Wednesday night a gang of thieves and
pickpockets gained access to the Church of the
Incarnation, corner of Madison avenue and
Thirty-fifth street, New York, the occasion being
the marriage of Mr.. Buckley, of Brooklyn, to
Miss Carrie Turner of No. 1876 Fifth avenue,
New York, and succeeded in relieving several
persons of their wallets and watches, only one of
the gang being detected in the act. Mrs. Edward
f. Miller charges that while leaving the
church, in company with her husband, she felt
same time thrusting his hand in the pocket of
her dress, which contained a wallet having 1856
in it. AS soon as the thief had succeeded in
getting the wallet in his possession, he moved
away from her and mixed with the crowd, but
was subsequently found by Officer Mckenzie, of
the Twenty-ninth precinct and fully identified
by Mrs. Miller as the person whom she had felt
place his hand in her pocket. Upon being
conveyed to the staLion-house in Thirtieth
street, he gave his name as John w. Fields,
and was recognized as professional pick
pocket. While the prisoner was confined
in the station-house several parties called and
reported they had been robbed in a similar man
ner, among whom was Mrs. j. w. Dickinson, of
Boston, who reports losing her wallet, contain
ing twenty dollars; another lady one containing
eighty dollars; and two gentlemen who had
parted with valuable gold watches, but were

preferred against him. He was committed in
default Of $4,000 bail to answer.

The court was held by George Barker, at the
Court House in Little Valley commencing
January "a. The first culprit on trial was Daniel
@. Burdick for the shooting of II. II. Baker
(colored), October of last year, here in our
village. The particulars are briefly these-
Baker, with his wife, had been spending the
night previous with some friends, and on re-
turning home about four o'clock A. NJ. saw
Burdick with a small cart going towards his
home. Baker followed him nearly to Burdicks
house, when both returned to the place where

the people, and j. B. Jewell, of Little

nesses were sworn, proving Burdick's previous
threats ''to fix him." also Bakers dying declara-
tion, and the case was very strong against him.
His own statement was admitted-that the
shooting was done in self-defense-but portions
of it were disproved, and his testimony was
impeached His wife and two small children
were in court during the trial, and while stating
his own case a little one was sitting upon bis

The other case was that of Theodore Nicklos,
for the murder of DR.. Andrew Mead on the even

four miles west of this place. The doctor was
an eccentric old bachelor of nearly eighty years
of age, who had abandoned practice, and was
doing small grocery trade in a building which
he occupied as both store and dwelling. On thu
evening in question his groans attracted the at
tention of his neighbors, who found his doo
locked, and, after forcing an entrance, he wa
