Commercial Notes.

In arecently published letter Mr.. Del Mar
estimates that the total stock of coin and bull
lion in the world to-day is over $4,000 Co.,
900; that France, Great Britain and Germany
hold two-thirds of it, and with other foreign
countries nine-tenths, and the United States
one-tenth Of the whole. Since the discovery
of America the production has been over
Sl3,0U0000,00 and the difference, he states,
has been consumed in the arts.
The British Mail, in an article discussing
the growth ofprosperity in the United States
as compared with England, predicts that in
one hundred years from date we shall have
population of about $4,000, 900, or 40 00O,-
600 more than the whole population Of Eu-
rope at the present time,
Everything issprosperous in Northern Da-
kota Immigrants are pouring in on foot,
on horseback, in wagons, and on railroads.
Towns are springing up like mushrooms in
a sheep pasture.
In the matter OF wool: "Trade continues
exceedingly sluggish, and prices a,e weak
and downward in tendency" SAWS the Chi.
cago Times, and so say all the Northern pa
pers. The Boston Shipping List
volunteers this gratutous advice
to wool growers: Manufacturers are still
using up old stocks, and bot few BUYERS have
made an appearance. How much longer thew
will be able to pursue this coursei is Doubtful,
but il is evident that while the market /, un.
certain and doubtful they will purchase eau.
tiously.and only for present wants. Prices,
however, are settling down on a basis that i
likely to inspire more confden @, and it is
reasonable to expect more active movements
at an early day. This, howrver, depends

WINTHROP.
Successful Solution OF a Mystery.

WINTHROP, Nov 16.
John Morrow and Henry Sturtevant, en-
ployes at Whitman's agricultural works, Win
throp, left their homes Saturday forenoon,
Nov 9th, for fishing excursion on Lake An
nebescook. They did not return Saturday
night, and Sunday morning Capt. Strout and
Harvey Cory, employees at the same works,
walked down to the shore of the lake where
they discovered the boat bottom up about one
third of mile from the shore, above the is
land. The oars, hats, coats, and fish were
found upon the shore. On Monday search
was commenced in earnest, but with no
avail; graphing was continued until
the 18th when it was thought
the ground had been thoroughly gone over.
1t was then proposed to get divers and the
City Marshal of Portland was telegraphed for
to obtain divers to search for the bodies. He
obtained the celebrated submarine diver,
Gardner Floyd of Portland, and he and son
arrived at Winthrop Sunday. In the after
noon the first attempt to discover the bodies
was made and on Monday the search was con-
tinued with poor success until 5 o'clock p. M,
when they recovered the body of Sturtevant
from the Island. Tuesday morning about
1850 the body of Morrow was found farther
from the shore. Mr.. Floyd brought them up
IN his arms in very complacent manner Mr.
Floyd is one of the most successful divers in
the country and evinced great interest in the
attempt to discover the bodies. Much credit
IS due the City Marshal of Portland for OBJ
tanning the services of so good a diver, and
also to the citizens of Winthrop for the liberal
contribution they have made T.

A BLOODY ARRAY.
Two Men Hack and Stab Each Other.

Yesterday morning man named Alfred L.
Leighton, who resides on the west road, near
the Blackstrap Monument, in Falmouth,
came to the city and got warrant against
man named Joseph S. Staples for assault.
Deputy Sheriff Brown went out to arrest
Staples
AS near as we could learn, one version of the
story is to the effect that the two men were
quarreing in Leightons cider mill when
Staples drew a knife on Leighton and the
latter sprang into his bed room, seized gun,
fixed the bayonet, and in the melee that en-
sued Staples cut Leighton fearfully about the
face, arm and wrist and in turn was stabbed
by Leighton in the side and breast
Another version is to the effect that Leighton
lives with his niece in one half of the house
and Staples boards with Leighton's sister in
the other half. 1t is also said that Leighton
and Staples were in Leghton's part of the
house when they quarreled ON family matters
Leighton sprang into the bed room, seized a
Springfield rifle, deliberately aimed at Staples
and pulled tho trigger. Luckily the gun
missed fire. Leighton then jumped back,
fixed bayonet and lunged at Staples. The
latter, being a very strong man, seized the
gun with one hand, and with the other drew
knife from his pocket, opened it with his
teeth and struck at Leighton, who kept dodg-
ing his head in every direction to avoid the
blows. AS it was he received several severe
gashes on the face, and on one arm and hand
In the mean time Staples received serious
thrust III the side from the bayonet, another
severe wound in the breast near the nipple,
and several slighter injuries. Finally the
couple were separated without further
damage. Leighton is the same man who as
saulted Col. Merrill some time ago 1T the
Park Both men are probably between forty
and fifty years of age.
Leighton himself says that he was eating
his supper when Staples entered and threaten
ed him. Then he went and got his gun and
told Staples to get out of the room or he
would shoot and Staples rushed on him.
Staples says he was full of cider and was
passing through the room to his own room be-
You'd. That he had some words with Leigh
ton when Leighton got the gun, with the
bayonet already fixed, and attacked him as
above stated. Leighton's sister helped
Staples seize the gun and take it away from
Leighton. After the gun was taken away
Staples was so angry, seeing his bleeding
that he rushed after Leighton with ii
(who took refuge in the chamber and shut the
door, and smashed in one Of the panels with
it. He then went outside and stove the gun
to pieces. Staples was not in condition to be
brought to town yesterday and Mr.. Brown left
him in charge of an assistant with orders to

A Wild l2l Goose Hunt.

Thursday night of last week man (who we
will call Fred) in Pittsfeld, was aroused from
his slumber by the noise of geese going South,
and hearing them several times during the
night thought there must be an exodus of
geese. Friday morning as he was going to his
stable to feed his horses, he thought he could
hear them in his pasture, and as there was
heavy rain the night before he suspected the
geese must have been wearied and rested
there. SO he crawled down to the field with
gun in hand, got good sight at two of the
flock and pulled the trigger. One of them
dropped but the other one flew some hundred
rods. Taking the one he had captured he
went to the house to reload his gun and told
his wife to call one of his near neighbors (who
we will call Cyrus) Cyrus got up and took his
gun also, loading it as he ran, then he and
Fred crawled about 100 rods through the wet
grass and bushes, got good sight, and both
pulled on the goose at the minute. The wild
bird gave one or two squalls and tipped over
They th n took the bird and went back to the
house, we'll pleased with their morning shoot.
Cyrus, who, by the way, is quite natural
sportsman, was going to Oxford that forenoon
and so took one of the geese to show, as such
game i'll this vicinity is very seldom captured
Fred took the other and started over to his
neighbors (who we will call George and told
him what good luck he had in the morning, at
the same time showing his goose George
(who had returned from Portland the night be-
fore late in the evening, and had purchased a
pair of choice breed of geese) saw at once that
it was one of his geese, and told Fred he had
shot his choice bird. Fred took the joke and
has given out invitations to all his neighbors to
come and take dinner with lin.
