ST: LOUIS February l5.-Adverse wealth
er has not been able to cramp business to
any marked extent. and a very fair trade
has been done in most branches during
the week. Merchants and dealers are in
very hopeful mood, the feeling being uni
versal that the most substantial condition
OF affairs since the panic, is now being de-
veloped, and that the volume OF business
for 1879 will be the largest since the disas-
ter OF 1878 made its tunwelCome visit.
Money continues dull to move, discount
ing being quite light Shipments Of cotton,
-four and grain and provisions help to
furnish the market with Eastern exchange,
but otherwise there is little demand Tor
accommodation from the banks. Transac-
tons In railroad securities have been very
light during the week, but demand for
State and city bonds has been livelier,
sales OF tho former having been made at
good rates. Tho reports Of cattle disease
have caused q good deal Of anxiety among
dealers In live stock, and the Health Com
missioner has appointed veterinary sur
geun to inspect all the cattle Of the city,
especially dairy cattle, and report thereon
to the CITY Council. ''''

NEWARK, o. February 15.-The topic
for conversation in society circles of oul
city Is the elopement Of the beautiful and
accomplished daughter Of ]. r. Ashbrook,
the wholesale grocer, and Mr.. Fred Ross,
an employe in Ashbrook's store. All
kinds Histories have been circulated about
the couple, and the Enquirer reporter, to
obtain the truth in the case, waited until
the return Of Mr.. Ashbrook and Officer
Doc Brooke, which was this morning, and
from what we learn the story runs as fol-.
lows: Abont4 o'clock Thursday afternoon
Miss Maud Ashbrook remarked to her
mother that she was going up street, and
would return soon, as she had nothing es.
pectally TO detain her, and her mother be.
ing sick, requested that she return in q
short time. Six o'clock arrived and
she did not return, nor did Ross
who boarded at Ashbrook's, and her
lather guessing what had happened, pro.
ceeded to the livery stable, and found that
Roes had hired q vehicle and had been
gone some time. Immediately Mr. Ash.
brook, with Officer Doc Brooke, set out In
pursuit. and after travelling about one
hundred miles hunting them at different
hotels, and small towns, they found the
couple OF farm house between Johns.
town and Hartford. Mr.. Ashbrook was
raMng, and with great difficulty Brooke
held tho enraged father, while the farmer
hurried Ross away, for Il Ashbrook had
seen him, it was feared he would have
shot. They soon hurried the girl in the
buggy, and brought her home, where she
stated that they had been married at Es.

The girl Is but seventeen years

CHICAGO, February l5.-The condition
of Bishop Foley, the Roman Catholic
Bishop foriseyeral years IN charge Of the
Diocese Of Chicago, is still the subject OF
grave concern among his friends, both in
aud out Of tho Church, for he is greatly
esteemed by people OF oil denominations
as q man and Bishop. His disease is
bronchial pneumonia, the result Of a Sc.
we're cold contracted while in Baltimore
attending the iuncralofa relative. Soon ai.
ter hisreturn he was taken ii, and although
the disease has at times seemed to assume
q milder phase, encouraging his physi.
Clans 70 hope that favorable reaction
had set 10, relapses have quickly followed,
and his life may be said to have continu.
ally hung in the balance for three days
past. 1t has been almost forgotten that
Bishop Foley Is not tho regularly appoint.
cd prelate Of The, Diocese Of Chicago, but
has held the olllce ad interim for over ten
years, and. doubtless, will continue 10
hold 1t during life. The real head Of The
Church in Chicago, Bishop Duggan, is
still living; and holds the title, though
dead In life" so fur as tho exercise
Of priestly functions is concerned. He
Is hopelessly insane, and has for years
been an inmate OF a private refuge near St.
Louis, where he Is most tendcrly cared for
BY the ministering angels OF the Church,
Bishop Foley was assigned to tho charge
OF the Diocese, one Of the most populous
and important In the West, and most ably
has he administered the heavy trust i'm
posed on him. His death would be re.
garded q calamity alike by Catholics and
Protestants in Chicago. The Bishop'sphy.
sicians to-day report more favorable symp.
toms, and think the case has taken turn
that gives promise Of recovery.

Protest Against Col. Johnson.s RaiIroad
Ri1i-noW Il Would operate ON the
Coal and Lumber InteReatn.

Coal and Lamber Interests.-
GRAFTON, W. Va, Feb. 10, 1879.
EdltOn fnttllgeneer.
We notice that tho johnson Bill, (. reg.
ulating the tariff on the B. e. o. R. r. Co.,
has passed the Senate to lis third reading.
We understand the gist Of this bill Is TO
regulate frcights upon the pro rata pripcl-
pie, thus that the Company shall charge
80 much per ton per mile. This would
seem fair at first blush, but in a business
point Of view Il would be very disastrous
TO much ofthe business In this section Of
country.
To illustrate, suppose the tariff on coal
Is one cent per ton per mile, the Piedmont
coal could be shipped to Baltimore for 81.
per ton less than the Pennington, Clarks.
burg or FairmOnt coal. A car hauls ten
tons, therefore the Piedmont and Iona
coming coal would be placed In market at
$40 per car less than the coal 100 miles
west Of here, Aud as oil coal Is sold BY
contract our shippers could make no con.
tracts. The same thing Is true Of lumber
Co. could. put lumber into the
market from their boom Of Piedmont
for s. per car less than our
people at Grafton from their boom, In
short, this pro rata idea OF Colonel John
sons Is the sheerest nonsense. It Is not
founded on true business principles. This
idea Of 80 much per mile Is catch word,
and cannot stand when subjected 10 q
practical test. We are willing that the
Colonel may Indulge In any amount Of IN
nOcent buncombe to ride into Congress,
but we are unwilling that he should 10
there at the expense of the business inter.
ests;ot this portioniof the State.

Indian outraSes In victoria.

San FRANCISCO, February 1G.-A Victo-
ria dispatch by the steamship California,
which left sitka February 10 and arrived
at Esquimault February 18th, says: There
was much excitement in .Sitka when she
left, the Indians having threatened ami.
hilation Of the white citizens, who armed
and were waiting the attack. Two Indians,
who murdered Jane Brown, confessed
their guilt, were surrendered to the Col.
lector, and are on board the California en-
route to Portland to be turned over to the
United States District Attorney to await
the action Of the authorities at Washing.
ton. Three families came down on the
steamer fleeing from danger. The store
keepers are preparing to emigrate by the
next steamer.
Father Metropolisky and his congrega-
ton, in conjunction with the American
citizens OF Sitka, have petitioned the com.
mander Of His Maiesty's man-of.war now
lying at Esquimault to come 10 their
immediate aid, fearful that they cannot
allay the disturbances before the United
States government can send assistance.
It is runiored that. Cutlery & Co.'s
cannery, about four miles from Sitka, is
sacked and burned. No reliance is placed
in the rumor, because the company have
Indians In their employ who seem to be
poaceably inclined.
The Collector OF Alaska has telegraphed
to Secretary Sherman for aid.
The Indians threaten 10 kill two white
men in retaliation for three prisoners.
