THE FALL TRADE IN New York.
-Ihe merchants and commercial
classes of this city have been looking
forward with great confidence to q
good fall trade, and from the eviden-
ces which are even now presented
/ there appears to be no doubt but that
their hopes will be realized. None of
them expect the "rushing'' kind of
business which characterized trade
IN general before the panic of 1873.
but all believe that sound and
steady style of business win be car
ried on, mainly upon cash principles
or on those of short credit. Country
buyers show by their orders that all
their stocks are low, and that the
line crops, having given the farmers
encouragement, have also induced
their wives and daughters d to replen-
lsh their deplete stores of dry goods
&c, to an extent which shows that
prosperity is again apparent in the
rural districts.
Firm trade has been guaranteed
by the general sweeping out of rot
ten houses and reckless traders. Here
tofore there have been located in this
city, i'll common with all cities,
number of specializing firms that
haye sought trade at ruinous sacrifi-
ces, regardless of the fact whether or
not the prodHcers of the goods, or
their agents, realized anything by
the sales. Millions upon millions of
dollars worth of goods have been
disposed of in this manner, to the
injury of the fair trader and to the
pecuniary loss Of the producers, such
unprincipled dealers generally wind
ing uD i'll failure for hundreds of
thousands, with "no assets" These
houses have been nearly all wiped
out, so that the prospects are that
trade this season will be conducted
on business principles. This state.
ment is borne out by inquiries as to
the meetings Of creditors, which were
SO common short time ago, for the
purpose of effecting a compromise
with debtors and realizing something
from the wreck---a chance which was
extremely remote, if the debtor
should take advantage of the bank
rupt laws. 1t was found that these
meetings Of creditors had lately been
exceptional rather than the rule, and
nom this fact it is believed that hon.
est business houses generally had
found bottom" and rested securely
thereon, while speculation had been
driven out to great cXtont. -.M01

THE LINCOLN ASSASSINATION. flt'
man, the we'll known photographer OF Cincin'
natl, was interviewed yesterday as TO Dis
personal knowledge concerning the trial and
execution of Mrs. Surratt for the assassination
of Abraham Lincoln. His attention was frst
called to the statement of John I. Ford, the
atrioal manager, relative to the innocence OF
Mrs. Surratt, and in answer to questions, ut
man communicated the following Information, {:
He said he was the official reporter OF the y.
8. Government 10 the assassination trial. inc
Sons of Liberty investigation. and the Con,
pressional inquiries into the New Orleans anu
Memphis riots, and subsequently OF the ku'
klux trials, all of which gave him peculiar To-
sieht into the uuwritten history OF those
momentous events. [ have no doubt. said
Pitman, of the correctness OF. Mr. Ford
statements of Mrs. Surratt's Innocence. The
grave blunders which grew out OF the assassin
alton trial were due to the theory Stanton
entertained. Booth was an active instrument
in the great conspiracy, the dctatoly power. OF
which was the Rebel Government. MIS-
Surratt was hanged for completely, OF which
she was entirely ignorant, and poor Spangier
was sent to the Dry Tortugas because a long
rome was found 10 his carpet sack with which
it was supposed Lincoln was to DO bounc, Wheo'
in fact, no other use was to be made OF 1t than
the catching Of crabs. SpaDgler bad slupsy
borrowed the rope from Ford's Theatre ior
that purpose.

EDWARD THIEs MANGLED TO DEATH BY
A FREIGHT TRAIN LAST EVENING
IN MINNEAPOLIS.

AS freight train No Is on the branch
line of the st. Paul & Pacific road
was approaching the east side depot
at O'Clock last evening, and when
above the depot, two brothers named
ThleS, one twelve and the other nine
years Of age, moved toward the train
evidently with the intention of pro-
GU ing Il ride. While the elder boy
refrained from making the attempt
when near train, the younger brother,
Edward Thies, undertook to spring on
one of the cars. He was unable to
retain his hold and was dragged under
the moving cars, and was so badly
mangled tn It he died few moments
afler receiving the injuries. The
train was stopped us soon as possible,
but nothing could be done for the in
Jured boy, except to take him to bis
sorrowing home, which if not far dis
tant from the scene of the accident.
The parents are worthy German peo-
pie residing On the east side. and
great sympathy is expressed for them
IN their sudden and great affliction.
