NEW YORK, Jan. 2I.--T'hp Bank
statement shows that loans have in
creased over one and Il half million;
specie, has decreased nearly half q mill
lion; deposits decreased over ono and
three quarter niilion; legal tenders de-
creased over three quarter million.
New YORK, Jan. 2l.--The cotton
movement for the week shows Il marked
increase in receipts and exports, and
figures indicate a very rapid movement
ofthe crop towards the. scaboard and
then to Europe. The receipts this week
are over $4,000 bales in excess of last
week, while the exports arc more
than double those Of the corresponding
week of last year. -
Notwithstanding the increased eX-
ports this year, shipments represent
much less value in consequence of the
great decline in prices, which is the
natural result of the European war.

A remarkable case, showing the danger
of trusting implicitly to circumstantial evil
dence. has just been concluded in Toledo
Nearly three years ago Robert Sharp was
found dead, with shot and slugs in his
brain A man named Harrington, who
had been on intimate terms with the de-
ceased, was arrested for the murder. The
testimony was wholly circumstantial, but
so skillfully worked mp" by the detectives
that Harrington was convicted and sent to
the Penitentiary His lawyers had become
interested in the case, and, although Har-
rington was a poor man, they determined
to fight his cause to the end. After long
and arduous struggle through the District
and Supreme Courts. an order for new
trial was obtained, and that trial has Just
Closed. The main points in the evidence
on which he was convicted were the APP
parent correspondence Of the shot in the
body Of the dead man with that in the
shOtbag belonging to Harrington the
correspondence of pieces of newspaper
found near the scene of the supposed muir
der, and assumed to be part of the gun
wadding. with a torn paper in Harrington
residence, and a piece In his vest pocket,
and that the motive for the murder was to
be found in the alleged fact OF Sharp hav-
ing come to Toledo with several hundred
dollars Of money, which Harrington knew.
and that no one else was so intimate with
Sharp. On the second trial it was rem
dered doubtful whether there was SIM
ilarity in the shot. 1t was clearly proven
that the pieces Of paper alleged to have
been pickedup at the scene of murder were
not there at time of the finding of the body,
nor for a day or two aiterward, and the
inference was unavoidable that they were
put there by the detectives to aid them in
working up the case against Ilarring-
ton. 1t was further proven that Sharp was
destitute when he arrived in Toledo, and
that Harrington was doing his best to aid
him in procuring employment. To crown
all an altbs was satisfactorily proven. -
Harrington was declared innocent, and
the jury voluntarily gave him letter, |
signed by every member, repeating, in |
emphatic terms, their belief of his entire |
innocence of any knowledge of the sup
posed murder, and bearing testimony to
his uniform good character. The public
sentiment unanimously conceded with this
verdict. The former employer of Har-
rington Immediately took him back into
his service. 1t causes an unpleasant
shudder to reflect that a perfectly innocent
man, of good character, suffered two years
OF degrading punishment, and narrowly |
escaped an ignominious death, for crime
OF which he knew nothing. II is another
warning OF implicit trust in wholly cir
cumstantlal evidence, and protest against
the detectives in working up case
against one they choose to suspect

RAPID PROGRESS OF THE WORK.

The building of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
begun July LAST is being pushed forward with
great energy from both eXtremites of the line.
several thousand men are employed in Minnesota
and on the Pacific coast. The grade is nearly
completed 26G miles westward from Lake Supe-
nor; trains are running over $50 miles of finished
road, and track laying is rapidly progressing toward
the eastern border of Dakota. Including its pur-
chase OF the st. Paul X Pacific Road the Northern
Pacific Company now has 4l3 miles of completed
road and by September next this will be increased
to at least 500.
y GOOD INVESTMENT Jay Cooke Il Co. are
now selling, and unhesitatingy recommend, as a
Profitable and perfectly safe investment, the First
Mortgage Land Grant cold Bonds of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company. They have 30 wears
to run, bear Seven and Three-Tenths per cent gold
interest (more than n per cent. currency and are
secured by first and only mortgage the entire
road and its equipments, and also, rs fast as the
road is completed,
$1,000 ACRES OF LAND to every mile of track
or 500 Acres for cash 81, 600 Bond. They are ex.
empt from e. 5; Tax; Principal and Interest are
payable in Gold; Denominations Coupons, 800
TO 81 900; Registered, $50 to $4,000.
LANDS FOR BONDS. Northern Pacific 1905
are at all times receivable at ten per cent above
par IN exchange for the Company's Lands, at their
lowest cash price. This renders them practically

is no investment accessible to the people, which is
more profitable or safe. '.f g.
