to 8 per cent. The latter Manhatten Railway,
which advanced to ca from 56 at the close Of yes
terday. New York Elevated, which pays 10 per
cent. dividend, advanced from 131 to 134, and the
Metropolitan to 12 from 116k yesterday. Next
In order came the southwestern stocks, which
have ranged as follows: Kansas and Texas, 2SA
to 30L; Kansas City and Northern, 39A to 4Oh;
Hannibal and st. Joe, 32E and 351S and 59H and
6Os1 for the preferred. G. c. and l. C. has ad-
vanced from 16 to 20. After these stocks the
coal shares have advanced the most. Delaware

S4I and S61a; Delaware and Hudson between
74s4 and &c. and Jersey Central between 7s4 and
1921. Notwithstanding the recent large ad-
vance In the Goa! stocks, there is now apparently
better buying than when prices We're 10 to 20
points lower, as the opinion is becoming more
common that the coal trade is at last on the way
to prosperous condition. Wabash has ranged

The vIurder.Of Lieut.. Wier.
OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE CASUALTY.


General Sherman received a dispatch this af-
ternoon from Gen. Sheridan at Chicago, incloS-
ing the following from Gen. Crook: Merritt re-
ports from White river, October 21st, in sub
stance that on the goth he had sent two compa-
MES OF cavalry, under Vessels, to examine a
trail leading to Grand River. Lieut.. Hall with
some scouts, was also sent out for same purpose,
and with them Lieut.. Wier was permitted 10 go.
Weir, with one of the scouts, left Hall to shoot
at some deer. Shortly afterwards he was tired
into by Utes and his party carrolled until night.
when the party came into camp without
Weir. Merritt sent the battalion OF fifth
cavalry to look for Weir, and he reports that his
body has been found shot through the head. He
reports that the affair occurred about twenty
miles from White river. Copy OF Merr1tt'S dis
patch will be sent you by mail"
Lieut.. Weir was the brother OF Mrs. Casey,
wife Of Col. Casey, superintendent Of public
buildings and grounds. He was the younger
son of Robert w. Weir a celebrated painter and
for many years professor Of drawing, &C., at
West Point. He was native of New York and
a graduate of the West Point Military Academy
which he entered as a cadet July 1st. 1866.
Weir's body was recovered, and will be sent to
Rawlins and thence perhaps, to Cheyenne. At
the latter place, before he set out on this fatal
expedition, he was living in small but prettily
furnished dwelling, with younger sister, who
came from the east not long ago to keep house
for him,

MURDERED BY THE INDIANS.
Particulars of the killing of Lieut..

NEW YORK, Oct. pa special from Rawlins.
W.T., gives another account Of the death of
Lieut.. VIM. Weir reported last night. Gen.
Merritt despatched from White River agency
two companies OF cavalry under Capt. Henry
w. Vessels jr., and First Lieut.. VIM. p. Hall,
on the morning of the goth inst, TO effect a re-
connoissance in force. A number of scouts,
headed by Paul Humme, their chief, accompa-
MED the command, whose double object was TO
learn whether the hostile Utes had made per-
manent departure from the neighborhood, and
whether there was any perceptble wagon route
between the White River and the Grand. 1t ap-
pears that when the troops got some % miles
below the White River agency, Lieut.. Halls
command was attacked guerrilla fashion by q
body of Utes, who annoyed it till nightfaI with
out stampeding it or doing it any injury, al-
though the couriers report that two men were
reported wounded. First Lieut.. VIM. B. Weir,
chief of ordnance Of the department Of the
Platte who was volunteer In the expedition
attached to Gen. MerrittS staff, had in the
meantime left the command along with the
chief scout Humme to hunt deer. He was shot
down while thus detached, and his companion Is
repOrted to have escaped.
