NEw ORLEANS, La. June "a. 1874.
The attention OF the police Jurors and

committing magistrates in the parish of
Orleans, il called TO the careless manner in
which thei: clerks have been IN the habit
Of taking down the names and addresses OF
witnesses IN cases sent before this court for
trial. In many cases either the addresses are
not given at all, or are SO imperfectly or incOr
rectiv written that the attendance of wit
nesses can not be procured, and . failure of
justice Is the consequence. The response.

the magistrates themselves.

Boston Wool Market.

There has been only a moderate bust
ness doing in Fleece Woods the past
week, and the sales reported were made
mainly early in the week by Il few large
houses. The London sales opened on
Tuesday with large attendance and
good assortment of Wool, the offerings
amounting to 150, 900 bales. The at
tendance was large, and the competition
active, the closing prices Of the Decem-
ber sales being fully maintained. with a
slight improvement on Thursday. Good
Fort Philip Grease Wool, which will
shrink from ~ te % per cent, brought
16d, with higher prices for better lots.
At this price they will cost to lay down
in this market about soc. Similar
Woods are offering here to-day at soc,
and can hardly find buyers at that price.
This being the condition of things, there
is little inducement to purchase on
American account, and so far as We can
learn our Boston houses are buying very
little
The result of the sale has hardly been
felt, as vet, on Domestic Fleeces, but the
tendency has been for the past two days
towards higher prices. There are sew
eral Western holders of Wool here,
who, since the London sale opened, are
disposed to hold for higher prices. II
is likely that the coming week will
bring manufacturers into the market
again, as their purchases have been
light for several weeks. and their stocks
are considerably reduced A few days
of active trade will determine whether
prices are TO advance or not. To-day
dealers are not anxious to sell at recent
rates.
Sales for the week have been 10000
lbs Domestic and $4,000 lbs Foreign. In
cluded in the former are the following
sales of Fleece: 115, 1000 lbs on private
terms; 121 900 lbs Ohio at 53055c; 900
lbs do at 53c; 10000 lbs medium do at

Body Of Man Supposed to Have
Been Murdered i'm 1 1S63 Discovered.

DUNKIRK, IND, February 22.-It
will be remembered that during the war,
in the year 1868, some of the rebel sym
pathizers of Trenton, Blackford county,
Indiana, and vicinity, were suspected OF
having murdered Union man by the
name of Albert Whitaker, who was miss
ing under suspicious circumstances, but
the body could not be found. Several
parties were arrested at the time, but the
evidence against them was insufficient
to convict, and they were discharged.
Some time subsequently man supposed
to know something of the affair, while
on his death-bed attempted to make a
full statement concerning it, but failed
from weakness, prior TO his death.
The widow of this man has given a
full statement-as to where the body OF
Whitaker was secreted; search was made,
and the body was found as she had de-
scribed. The legs and head were cut
off, and the whole crowded into an old
store box, and buried in bog near the
town of Trenton Intense excitement
prevails in the community, and a
thorough determination exists among
the better class if citizens to bring the
guilty perpetrators, of living, to justice.

The Women's Temperance Move

The Women's Temperance Move
ment, which originated scarcely two
months since at Washington, Ohio,
has spread until Its influence Is felt
more or less, in every city, town
and village in the State. Its pro-
gress is remarkable in that it has
been met with little opposition, al
though there are many who disap-
proye of it, and some of those
against whom it has been directed
resolutely refuse to acquiesce IN the
demands of the CRUSADERS" And
the Movement is spreading to other
States, from which we have intelli-
eence that its workings will be as
little obstructed as they have been
in this. As to whether the move
ment will accomplish any consider
able lasting good, is question that
time alone will settle. 1t seems to
us that to have given better prom
Use of permanent success, it should
have been directed at the outset
against the numerous and extensive
distilleries and wholesale liquor es.
tablishments in the country. So
long as they are in operation, it isn't
worth while to entertain hope that
the great host which has acquired
taste for the ''line of goods" which
is their speciality, will long lack the
means to satisfy their cravings.
Nor should the fact be overlooked
that there is perhaps enough liquor
in store in this country to pretty
nearly fill Lake Erie if the water
were drawn off, and that the holders
will certainly find market for it,
sooner or later.

Shocking Murder Of a Woman i'm
Iowa.

Mrs. \. w. Brownie, wife of we'll
to-do farmer living near the Long Grove,
not far from Davenport, Iowa, was mur-
dered on last Wednesday evening by
some person who is at present unknown.
The husband was away from home visit
ing the house of neighbor when the
tragedy occurred, and only disc ,vered
it when he stumbled over the body
while going through the kitchen, to-
ward the door of the sitting-room after
his return home. He held his lantern
down, and saw her dead and mutilated,
her clothing having been set on fire by
the discharge of a gun. The four chill
dren-the eldest of whom is but eleven
years of age-Meae So friehtened that
they hid themselves until their fathers
return. When found they told him that
about O'Clock, while their mother was
sewing by the window, brick came
crashing through it, Immediately follow
ed by shot, then another. The woman
fell to the floor, and expired almost i'm
mediately> No one entered the house
afterward. though a sash in another
part of the building was removed. The
deed is supposed to have been committed
by two men, one of whom was at work
at this window the time the shot was
fired. No provocation can be learned
for the act, and as yet suspicion has fas-
tened upon no one.

Three Hundred Fishermen Adrift in
Saginaw Bay on Cake of Ice
Two Hundred Of Them Reported
Safe.

DETROIT, MICH, February 23.-The
heavy wind to-day has driven the ice
from the mouth of Saginaw River into
the bay 1t is reported that about three
hundred fishermen are on the floating
ice, and at last accounts they were FIVE
miles from land Great fears are en-
tertained that the ice will break mp be
fore the men can be rescued, and that "A
fearful disaster will result.
BAY CITY, Mich, February 23--ln-
telIigence reached here at noon that AZ
g O'Clock this morning large cake Of
ice, several miles in extent, had broken
off from the shore of Saginaw Bay al a
point east of the lighthouse, at the
mouth of the river, and extending down
the east shore. Upon this floating field
of ice were not less than three hundred
fisherman and several teams and sleighs.
The men are well supplied with shan
ties, food, fuel and provisions. When
last seen they had drifted several miles
northeast, and a strong southwest wind
shifting to westward, was drifting the
ice toward the east shore of the bay.
Later.
\ report from Sebewaing, this even
ing, saws that fifty men have made a
landing there. Other reports from 9th
er points says that about two hundred
men have escaped. Two men, named
II. j. Smith and John Fourier, OF
! Banks, are known TO have been drowned.
The ice is solid, and ranges from twelve
to twenty inches in thickness, and not
easily broken up.

The C )nfessiOn of Kansas Murderer.

ST. LOUIS, February 23.-The Demo
Gratis Kansas City special says: MeNntt,
who, with Winner. murdered and burn
ed painter named Seviors, at Wichita,
Kansas, last December, has confessed his
crime. He says Winner persuaded him
long ago in Kansas City to enter upon a
course of crime, and planned the whole
affair. MeNutt was to have a life in
surance of $1,000, then kill and burn
some victim, and palm off the body for
his, so the money could be collected.
For this purpose McNutt married wo-
man, with whom he was then living, and
she was to collect the insurance. At
first they intended to commit the crime
in Kansas City, but finally concluded to
go to Wichita, thinking escape easier
there. Being painters, they started bus
iness, and soon built up fine trade.
They were delayed, however, from car
rying out the plan for want of victim;
but Winner at last came to Kansas City,
engaged SEWERS to work for them, and
sent him down. They met him at the
depot On arrival at Wichita, took him
to the shop, nobody knowing anything
about it, made him hunk, and then
gave him ether until unconscious. They
then put his face over the fire and burn
ed it until he could not be recognized,
and laid him on a bed saturated with
coal oil. McNutt then cut a cash in
Winners arms with pair of scissors,
and, opening vein in SEWERS arm,
took out a quart of blood and sprink-
led it over Winner, to make il appear
that he had bled good deal. McNutt
then left his vest and empty pocket
book back of the house, where it would
appear the robbers had dropped them
and took the train via Atchison for Mis-
souri,. Winner then set fire to the build
ing, which was burned up, and reported
that he had been robbed and McNutt
killed and burneed.
The crime, as detailed, is most revolt
ing and cruel, and perfectly fiendish in
nature

In Search of a Father and Mother
for a Young Lady Supposed to
Have Been Stolen When a Girl.

To the Editor of the Commercial
There came to Carrollton, Kentucky,
about the wears 1852 and 1853, an old,
itinerant Snowman who called himself
Jack Waters, who had with him little
girl apparently about three years old
Jack made some pretentions at sleight-
of-hand tricks, his favorite one being
that of swallowing sword, which he
often did around in the groceries for
whisky He failed as a Snowman, had
town, and refused to give any account of
the little girl, who began to show neg
lect, as she had no clothes but the ones
she wore, a good red delaine dress nicely
made, white apron and other clothing to
suit. The only account the little girl
could give of herself was that her name
was Mary Collins. Old Waters left the
town, and has never been heard of since.
The circumstance was advertised in the
Carrollton paper at the time, but never
met any response. Mary has slight
marks of chicken-pox or smallpox,
from one of which she must have suffer
ed in her infancy She has lived as one
of the family with my wife and me,
since 1854. She is faithful church
member and Sunday school attendant,
with mind above mediocrity. She feels
anxious to learn something of her ori-
gin, and to crafty her have sent you
this communication, hoping it may meet
the eye of some one who can cast some
light upon the origin of the little waif,
Mary Collins. JAMES SCOTT
p. S.-Any communication directed
to myself, Lydia Scott or Mary Collins
Scott, at Carrollton, Kentucky, will re-
ceive prompt attention.

The Indian Trouble.

OMAHA, February 23.-Generals Sher-
idan and Ord, with an escort, left Chey-
enne yesterday morning for Fort Lara
mie. Troops left Cheyenne to-day. The
weather at Cheyenne is very cold, with
three inches of snow. Information re-
ceived from Laramie says it is reported
there the Cheyennesa are debating wheth-
er to stay on the reservation or go South
and keep out of trouble. 1t is thought
they will not coalesce with the hostile
tribes. Many Indians continue to go
North, for the purpose of joining the
war parties. Crazy Horses band has
declared for war. Employees at the
agencies at Red Cloud and MILESTONE
are appresensivs of trouble. 1t is con-
sidered doubtful whether the Ogallala
young men will stand by the ager1cies.
Their hostile action toward those who
have declared for peace is not consider
ed favorable. However, no trouble is at
all probable with the Indians south of
Fort Laramie. IF they they commit
any depredations it will be in Dakota,
Northern Wyoming and Montana.
CHEYENNE, w. T., February 23.--
General Baker, a noted Indian fighter,
arrived here yesterday, and left for the
front to-day. Generals Sheridan and
Ord reached Fort Laramie in safety this
morning. Nine companies of infantry
and seven of cavalry left here, to-day,
for the vicinity of Red Cloud Agency.
Considerable snow has fallen and the
weather is cold.

The Brooklyn Eagle attributes
the recent heavy reduction in freight
on live stock to the influence of the
Grangers. 1t is said that the freight
on cattle between Chicago and New
York has been reduced from s135
to $50 per car load; and between
Buffalo and New York, from
$50 to $45. This is good news for
the stock dealers, and they are cor
respondingly happy. This extraor-
dinary manifestation of power on
the part of the Patrons of Husband
ry will be duly appreciated by the
people, If the Grangers can COM
pei a railroad company to reduce its
charges they can do, more than the
State Legislature can do, although
that busy body has been working on
the problem good many years.
From $50 to $45 is big leap for a
railroad company; and when the
Grangers get down as low as the
butchers, and cause corresponding
reduction in the price of steaks, the
public would like to know that too.

the Presidential chair. It was stated
by Mr.. John G. Harlan, of Colora-

e
Missouri comes next after Iowa in
the number of its Oranges and their
patrons" AT the State Grange
now in session, 112 out of ia coun-
ties, and a membership of over 100
600 are represented. The subject
of the establishment of manufactor-
les of agricultural implements in
the State is under discussion, and
possibly some enterprise of this kind
will be determined upon. The pur-
pose is unanimously expressed not
to buy implements of agents or
middlemen, and not to use those of
manufacturers who decline to sell
direct to consumers. Old tools are
to be repaired and every shift to be
made in preference to buying of
those who insist on selling through
agents. The general sentiment of
the State Grange is that politics
shall not be discussed in the Order,
but that the Patrons, who will prob
ably number 100000, will control
the State at the next election.
