The More Marder Trial.
SAN BUENAvENTURA, July 18th.
To day, in the Sprague case, the
defense turned the calcium light
of testimony upon the reputation
of Jesse Jones's States evidence,
and by noon there Yves Ger.
tainly not enough of it left
to qualify him for admission into
select religious circles. To tele-
graph the evidence would only in
volve endless repetition, but it
may be said that numbers of good
citizene, including Jones's uncle
and grandfather, testified that
his reputation had been very
bad for the past few years;
that he associated with thieves;
that he lied, and that wherever,
during his peregrinations, he hap
pened to stop, there was confusion
about missing horses, blankets,
cows, spurs, etc. There was also
some evidence that the horse which
he claimed to have ridden on the
night Of the murder was an untam-
able brute which few would dare
to ride while carrying gun, and
also that the slough was dry
where he professed to
have crossed water on that
night. 1t was also testified that
the place for which, Austin
Brown, another witness for the
prosecution, was paid two
thousand dollars, was only worth
three hundred and fifty dollars.
Still, while generally discrediting
these witnesses, the defense have
not yet invalidated their direct
statements as to the murder; but
they have forty witnesses yet to
come.

New York Items.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-A meeting
of dramatic writers has been held
in this city, for the purpose of es-
tablishing u protective society for
the benefit of the craft and the fos-
tering Of stage literature on this
side Of the water.
The promised heat wave came
down upon New York this morn
ing, and at an early hour humani-
ty was sweltering and the lower
order of animals painting. The
people here do not apprehend that
that the heat will be as fatal here
as in st. Louis.
The Public says that clearing
house returns from seventeen lead
ing cities of the United States, for
the two weeks ending June 18th,
show a loss of 81 per cent.
The cities that have lost are:
New York, 1.5; Boston, 81;
Philadelphia, 10.s; Chicago,
II; Baltimore, 7; Cincinnati,
21.3; st. Louie, 6.1; San Francisco,
1873; Louisville, 200; Pittsburg,
3O.1; Providence, 12.1; Cleveland,
ISL, Indianapolis, 8: New Haven,
25; Syracuse, 21.4. Cities that have
gained: New Orleans, 4.10; Mil
waukee, 1911. Every consider
able city in the coun-
try, excepting New Orleans
and Milwaukee, report smaller
exchanges for the first half of July,
1878, than for the first half of July,
1877. The gain at Milwaukee,
means only that the grain crop OF
last year was unusually small. The
insignificant gain at New Orleans
is of interest only as 1t shows that
the crop is well cleared out by the
aid of the jetties In midsummer.
Yet discouraging as the separate
statements are, they indicate, when
analysed, condition Of business
not wholly unsatisfactory. Out.
side Of New York the decrease
| in exchanges is less than the de-
cline in prices. In New York the
