made inquiry of that gentleman with
respect to the negro witness, J.B.

lyn. Woodley gave in testimony that
he worked in this city with Messrs.
Osborne d Chievcs, and having accu-

he went to New York because the in

with him, polite, well dressed, and
well behaved negro, scrupulous in his
address, and in every way PLAUSIBLE

that the boy was well educated for

intelligence: He adds, however, that

accomplished and ingIained liar, and
smart enough to make his liespass cur

North was to invest his money to bet

knows that Jim had no money. He
went North to get work and not to in

Jim told Mr.. Fullerton that he was not
married. Mr.. Osborne says he not

remembered that he used to come to

that his wife lived here and that this
was his home. Finally he took his

tate took place in New York on Fri
day last, when four lots on the Grand
Boulevard were disposed of at prices
ranging from "a 900 to "A, 800 A few

have brought more money than was
realized at this sale for the four.

Sharkey StiIl i'm Havana,

The steamer City of Mexico arrived
in the quarantine, New York, yester-
day afternoon, and was Immediately
boarded by the detectives. 1t was
discovered that Sharkey was not on
board, and that when the steamer left
Havana, he had not arrived from San
tiago, although he was momentarily
exported. The officers in spite of his
desperate character, had many friends
in Havana whom they believed would
make great efforts to prevent his alb
duction, while on the other hand, the
Spanish authorities would be very
glad to get rid of him. The captain
thought that Sharkey might be looked
for by every steamer.

The Harrisburg Patriot of yesterday
says:
Both branches of Council, on Satur-
day evening, took action toward the
erection of city gas works, which it is
claimed will reduce the price to all Gus
toners and save Harrisburg from pay
ing anything for light. As showing
the salutary effects of competition at
teption is called to the fact that in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, a new gas
company compelled the old monopoly
to reduce its rates from $5 to $2.75,
and as illustrating the practical advan-
tage of municipalities owning their own
gas works Richmond is held up for

HOW THE NEWS OF THE MEXICAN WAR
WAS OBTAINED IN 1849.
(From the Freeport Era.

(From the Freeport Era.)
The following sketch will bring
fresh to mind occurrences of quarter
of a century ago, which have lain en-
tombed in an almost forgotten past.
In the early days there was no such
thing as telegraph or railroad coming
INTO Pittsburg-in fact, Pittsburg was
nothing but "one-horsc town." so to
speak-and the manner in which a
flttsburg paper, in 1916, called the
C0n.n.erctdt DO aradl, edited by Robert
M, Riddle, obtained the news of the
Mexican war, was related to us Col.
Joseph Kinkead, the venerable printer,
now with Messrs. Bakewell & Mar
theus, of that city, who was then
pressman on the Journal, printed on a
washington press, and William Nc
Carthy, the present mayor, was his as
slstant. The news of the war came by
the steamboats, down the Monongahela.
Kinkead and Mccarthy were detailed
every afternoon to go up the river on
horseback. Mccarthy would go twelve
miles to lock, and while We steam5
boat was passing through the lock he
would SO on board the boat secure the
papers, mount his horse, and 90 the
distance of six miles as fast us the
horse could travel. At the end of tho
six miles Kinkead would meet Nc
Carthy with.a fresh animal, with which
he would go on his way to Pittsburg
at lightning speed-Kinkead bringing
the other horse in. By this means the
news was set up in type and an. n.extra
printed by the time the boat arrived.
This was carried on for some time un-
til Mccarthy, by his fast driving, ran
over o child that was crossing the
street in pittsburg, and the mayor put
a stop to it. But j. Heron Foster, of
the Morning Chronicle, got another
plan in..operation. He would take two
cases of type, and the same number of
compositors up to this lock, who would
set the type and bring it down on gal
leys. What miraculous changes have
taken place since 1S46:

Econ, tiic Vvest.

We had a conversation yestetdAy With
Mt. James Wilson, Of the Bellaite Nail
Mill, who has Just returned from a five
weeks trip to the West, touching the
prospects Of spring business In that por'
lion Of the country. He is Of the oPih'
Ion that financial and business matters
are on a sounder foundation In the West
than they have been Tor tie last fifteen
years The crops have been good fof the
last two yeats and tho people have tealiE.
ed unusually good prices for their wheat,
corn, hogs and other staple products,
They have thus been enabled to pay of
theft debts, and arc now In excellent
financial condition, and more disposed to
improve their farms, put tip buildings,
and lay out money in other ways, than
for years past.
Mt. Wilson aayS that Chicago expects
to do large business this spring with
the county tributary to II; and 30 also
do the smaller cities, such as Milwaukee,
Davenport, Dubuque, Keokuk, fndiah-
opolis, Toledo, Cleveland, and other
leading points. Hois Of the opinion that
not only are the leading business men Of
these centres Of trade in a better shape
than ever before, but also that in every
city and town the wcst.he wedding out
process has gone on so steadily since the
panic that but few weak business men fe.

spread out. There is, however, a pre-
yailing feeling that the prices Of the
leading articles Of trade have fallen to 4
point where it is saio to purchase pretty
full stocks, This is especially true Of th'
various departments Of the iron trade
such as nails for instance, and hence there
ia very satisfactory disposition to buy.
It will be noticed that Mr., Wilson's
view Of the business situation cores
ponds pretty closely with the article from
