Gently returned from the West, and bring back a
goodly number of orders taken there. Our advces
report tho interior markets as having less stock OF
heavy goods than for any previous year since the
war; but there is neither the disposition nor the
ability to buy large quantities, and the sales from
manufacturers are likely to be smaller than would
be expected. The people who boots and
shoes, both South and West, are poor. and with
fair prices for their crops they will not be able to
buy anything more than supply for their most
pressing wants. We think that shoe manufacturers
fully comprehend the situation, and Ia large mum.
Der of factories idle, especially in the rural
districts, where shoe-nakers find outdoor employ

those who have placed orders have squeezed prices
to the lowest possible point, and profits will be
small. Business is quiet in Lynn and Haverhill,
and where manufacturers are doing anything at

The Stokes Case:

The decision In the Stokes case, which
grants him new trial, was rendered by Judge
Grover. A special in the Boston Advertiser
says: There are two opinions written. one
BY grover, and one by Rappelli. The charge
is held to be erroneous on the point
that the law presumes murder from the
fact Of killing, and calls on the prisoner to
mitigate or Justify; also that there were er.
rors in excluding proof of threats by the de-
ceased to kill the prisoner; also an error in
permitting Mrs. Morse to contradict Jennie
Turner in collateral matter called out in the
cross examinations namely, as to whether
she left Mrs. Morse's against her wish and
because detectives were said to be after her
soon after the homicide. Other points were
discussed, but these are the principal ones.
Stokes received the news with the utmost
calmness, and says that now he has no doubt
OF his ultimate acquittal. He hopes to be ad.
mtted TO bail at an early day, and his coun-
sci will make motion to that effect at the
hrst favorable opportunity Dos Passos,
stokes junior counsel, also says that he
thinks his client is now safe, and that no jury

defence-as on the proceeding trials. The
counsel SAID to day that they would be able to
prove that Stokes never lay in wait for Fisk;
that he premedtated no crime against him.
and did not intend to take his life. Little id.
verse criticism is made by the press or the
public upon the decision of the court of an.
peals, the fact that t3was Unanimous removing
of undue influence on either side. None Of
the papers, however, express any sympathy
for Stokes, or any desire that the next trial
may result more favorable to him. One calls
1t 'the worst murder of the century" and
another says that the feeling of security and
respect for the authority of the law, which
has lately been increasing in the city, has re-
ceved in this decision a severe and unfortu-
nate check. The case has been decided more
speedily than any similar one in the history
of New York criminal practice, having been
much expedited by the consent of Stokes
counsel to wave hi formal resentence by the
supreme court. and to go to the court of ap.
peals with their certificate affirming the judge
ment. Stokes was congratulated by large
number of friends and fellow-prisoners, ON
the favorable turn in his affairs, and levee
was held for an hour or two in the consulting
room Of the tombs this afternoon. Much
money has changed hsnds on the rendering of
the decision, odds having been laid in the ma
jority of cases, in favor Of Stokes.

Trial of Wagner.


Alfred, IL. About fifteen witnesses for the
government in the Wagner trial were exam
ined to-day. Their statements, while show
ing that the circumstances and suspicious
strongly point to the prisoner as the murder
er, no conclusive testimony has yet been
elected. Mrs. Honty ct, who was considered
the most important witness against Wagner,
took the stand this morning. She recited the
facts Of the murder, and how the women that
were killed cried out in terror and entreated
"Louis, Louis, Louis" She furthermore
stated that she saw and recognized Louis
Wagner as he stood outside Of her chamber
window, dealing blow upon the head of An
nette, by his form, not discerning his face or
dress, owing to the darkness. She did not
speak to him or hear his voice.
Frizzle, New Castle cooper, testified to
meeting Wagner on one of the bridges be-
tween New Castle and Portsmouth on the
morning of the murder, at G 40 o'clock Two
portions of the bridge had been carried away
by ice, necessitating the use of a ferry. Wag-
ner would not wait for the boat, but threw
stringer across both chasms and crossed has
tily. The greater part of the witnesses tes-
tify to seeing Wagner after the deed was COM
mitted, all bearing witness to his suspicious
appearance. Witnesses came forward to
state that the remark 81 will have money il |
have to murder for it," was made by the
prisoner prior to the murder. The peculiar
significance of the above statement lies in
the fact that the prisoner communicated his
murderous intentions to at least four differ
ent parties who have thus far testified. Mrs.
johnson, his boarding house mistress, says
that he was absent from the house the night
of the murder. He returned the next morn.
ing about 80 o'clock, saying that he felt
badly aud was afraid he should be taken. His
clothing was caked with ice, as if just com
ing from the sea. Smutty Nose island is dis
tant from Portsmouth Is l-2 miles. Wagner
has avowed that he could pull there in two
hours.
The case will be continued morrow
