crime had been committed and that he might
be implicated.
He crawled cautiously out of his place Of
concealrnent and tool his way across the
park. When he reached the spot where the
man had fallen his feet struck something.
He stopped and found it was a leathern peck
et-book. ThrustiDg it into his pocket, he
ran towards the cover of the trees at the
side Of the park, and soon found the spot
where the wall overlooked the cottage. He
mounted it and dropped tG the ground. The
next moment he was in Mother Blenkiu's
garden, and was about to enter the rear door
when he WAS
SEIZED BY TWO TEN.
s'You are arrested for murder one Of
them said, and be was forthwith secured
and taken to the cage.
There he was searched, and on him was
found the papers taken from Sir George
Bamfylde's desk, and a pocket-book bearing
the Baronets name and crest and containing
.e2, O95 in Bank Of England notes. Scarcely
was the search completed when d messenger
from the hall arrived il hot haste,
Georges library, and had been interrupted ia
their work by the Baronet, whom one IF
them had shot and instantly killed.
A. brief explanation will bring this singu-
lar narrative to a close. Phillip Moore hay
ing failed to return to Exeter, his friends
made inquiries and traced him by means Of
OF detectives, to LEICESTER. There they
lost sight Of him, but ascertalned that he
was last seen crossing the fields IS already
described. Search was made, and his yalise,
CONTAINING bis hat was found ID The pond. It
was discovered on the very day whose clos
ing events have been described, hat 8
stranger had appeared in the town the very
day Philip disappeared.
THIS STRANGER VAS IDENTIFIED
AS Mother Blenkin's nephew. One Of the
officers sent to investigate the case found
that Blenkin was not at home. The officers
waited around until after dark and then cap
tured him as seen. Blenkin was charged
with the murder of PhillipiMoore-in other
words himself-and Of Sir George Bamfylde
By advice Of counsel he told the unvarnished
truth, and the capture, q few days later, OF
one of the burglars who entered the library
and was wounded by the Baronet, fully ex-
onerated Philip Moore from the charge Of
having murdered Sir George.
: This man turned out to be the under-gar-
dener, who had been bribed TO aid the burg
lars in robbing the hall. Finding the library
window open, he and one of the gang en-
tered and had wrenched open the strong box
and secured some OF the plumber when Sir
George came upon him, wounding one and
receiving from the other q fatal shot.
Philip Moore was indicted for burglary,
az a matter of form, and then %pardoned. He
established his right to succeed to the title
and estates of the late Baronet, his father,
and lived in quiet possession to Q great age,
dying as late as 1887, in bis ninety-second
year.

q by the expectation Of large call for bonds.
4 Those who looked for peace among the rail
roads, however, have been disappointed thus
4 far. The call for bonds, though issued on
q Saturday, does not quite make sure, as it
4 stands, that the Treasury disbursements
4 for bonds in October win equal the sur
I plus revenues. Finally, gold ceased to
come from Europe, but did not cease
! to go out from New York, and the continued
high prices of grain, petroleum and cotton put
further off the desired revival of the export
trade. The volume of business was dimin-
isted by the deep interest felt in public affairs,
i and the exchanges were smaller than usual
4 The official statement shows imports of only
4 $SO, 400 in foreign gold during the week COW
cred by the Assay Office reports, though 1850 1000
arrived on Saturday. Out of ST. 621, 726 reported
by The Financial Chronicle as in transit on the
10th, more than half would seem to have been
lost at sea, for the receipts up to Saturday last
were only $3, 155,91S in two weeks. As any
gold which was on the way two weeks ago
should now have arrived, the natural infer
! ence is that some mistake was made
l in the quantity reported as afloat on the
10th. The only amount said to have been
shipped for two weeks is $350,O00 on the
18th, and about this amount came in on the
4 oath. The rate of exchange does not make
shipments profitable or promising; and the
delay in recovery of our export trade operates
more powerfully than the defensive measures
dadoptedby foreign banks to defer the movement
l specie. It'll also stated by The London Econo-
mist last Saturday that the advance in Ameri-
can securities at London was due to consider
able purchases there for shipment to this coun-
try, and that some large purchases on American
orders had already been made since the death
3of President Garfield. These purchases, no
doubt were due to the oversod condition of
many stocks here, and to the anxiety oil
" short" operators to guard themselves against
loss, but the immediate effect of them is to
move the rate of exchange against this
country.
The speculations in cotton and petroleum
were less active last week than during the
previous week, though prices were held quite
high. The gram speculation continues, and
No. red winter sold on Saturday at 81 so,
and No. corn Mt - cents, while corn for De-
cember sold at 793l. These prices haveE
caused exports to decrease still more, though
the movement during the week ending on the
18th contrasts with that of the corresponding /
week last year as follows:

There was but one theme in the churches
yesterday, from New-York to San Francisco
the one subject that has filled mems minds, to
the exclusion of all others, for the past week,
and will not fade from them for many weeks
1 10 come. Our local columns contain reports of a
number of sermons delivered in this city and the
vicinity. Among the more prominent clergymen
/ who are reported are Mr.. Beecher, Mr.. Coll
yer. the Rev. Drs. Dix, Morgan, Taylor, Chap
man, Vincent, Crawford and Newton. These
discourses present a variety of views upon the
Significance and effect of the unexampled ex-
perieRce through which this people has been
passing. All agree in fervent recognition of
the loftiness of the late Presidents aims, the
Ipurity of his life, the nobleness of his char
lactcr, and dwell upon the pure influences
which surrounded him from his birth, and be-
came dazzlingly visible when the fierce light
of the press was turned upon his home. All
these clergymen, who form class whose pa
triotism is as far beyond question as their in
ltelligence, express the most cordial and help
full feeling toward the new President, with,
at the same time, a distinct opinion as to what
the nature of the Administration should he.
Their attitude of strong hopefulness, and yet
OF marked watchfulness, is that Of the mass
of intelligent citizens everywhere.

Fortunately other important items of our ex-
/; port trade do not all decrease in like ratio.
The exports of cotton last week were $4,000
/ bales, against 57,269 for the corresponding
week last year; and of petroleum, notwith-
standing the high price, over II ,595, 900 gal
Ions, against $500, 200 gallons last year. AZ to
provisions, the official report for August showed
i that the advance in prices nearly compensated
for the large decrease in quantities exported,
and the same may be true this month Never
/ thelcss, some expansion of the exports is the
more desirable because the imports are be-
coming large again, having amounted mt this
port to $l9,509, SI7 for two weeks ending on
the oath, against $2O,301 1886 for the cor
responding weeks last year.
These facts show that the money market
cannot confidently rely upon foreign supplies
for some time TO come, unless the situation
materially changes. The whole course of
speculation here, both in products and in securi-
ties, tends for tho present to cut of foreign
supplies of money. Meanwhile the banks
lof this city gained in reserve last
week only 100000, although the Treas
ury had disbursed from the 18th to
the Dist, $1.SSG,020 more than all its receipts
AS its receipts included $l,i0O, 900 from the
mints, the banks really received from the
iituSuiy uuIlnS thdt tlInc TD,EOO,UDU more
than they paid to it, and yet they increased
their reserve but little During the latter half
of the week, too, the Treasury increased its
balances 81 ,697,353, of which only $500, 600
came from the mints. Domestic exchanges
continue at such rates that money goes to the
interior. The scaboard cities are being crowded
with products for which they have to pay the
West and South, while prices are held SO high
that these products cannot be sold in
corresponding quantity. The tendency for the
time is toward greater monetary pressure in
the scaboard markets, until the export move
ment becomes more free, or until an advance in
rates for transportation by rail checks the for
warding of products.
Current opinions and information rs to tb o
settlement of the railroad war are AS conflict
ing rs ever. While it is obvious that
the struggle is doing harm to legiti-
mate business in Eastern cities and to
the railroads themselves, the managers
do not yet announce any agreement
though it is stated that freight agents of the
trunk lines have received instructions du ring
the past week to make no more low-rate con
tracts. The character Of instructions given ia
such rs to Indicate that the trunk-li mana
gers think a speedy settlement not improbable
and yet it may be delayed, rs it has been for
n long time already, by the beigerent course
ofone of them. Underline circumstances, the call
for $4,000, 900 of extended bonds is accented
with general satisfaction, as giving an assur
ancc of support to the money market which
may be found necessary.

profoundly felt in business circles ~ q public
calamity. though there was no apprehension

The defeat of Ayoo b Khan on Thursday
concludes another act in the Afghan drama.
Nearly two months have elapsed since he
routed the Ameer and entered Candahar
While AyOOb Khan has since acted on the
defensive, the Ameer has taken care to
reorganize his demoralized army, and secure
the aid of friendly tribe. With the superior
force thus acquired he has advanced steadily
against AyoOb, who awaited the attack at
Candahar. The odds of battle were clearly
against AyoOb, and the desertion of two regi-
ments completed his overthrow. He fed
toward Herat, abandoning his guns and
baggage-a victim to the same tickle
ness that had enabled him to rout the
Ameer last July. Ayoob's defeat will give the
Ameer needed respite, and secure him more
consideration from England. But so long as
AyoOb holds his ground in Eastern Afghan
istan the Ameer must feel that his
throne is III danger In England, the
lctory will strengthen the Gladstone Admins
tration. Although the British people were
glad to be rid of Afghan perplexties, they re-
sented Ayoob's bitter hostility, and will be
lpleased that he has been overthrow without
their direct aid.

OF the group of strong and distinguished Ohio
statesmen who gave to their State an exceptional
influence in Congress in the years Immediately fol
lowing the war when the great questions of recon
siruction and citizenship were decided, John Sher-
man is the only nan left in either House. Wade and
Garfield are dead. Schenck, long afflicted by i'll
ness, has been out of public life since his return
from the English Mission. Bingham Is in Japan.
Shellabarger is practising law in Washington.
Ashley graviiated to the Democratic party and
thence out of politics; and other OF less fame.
but of considerable prominence at that time are lost
sight of. Ii will hardly be claimed that the new
generation of active Ohio politicians come up to the
intellectual stature of their predecessors The ex-
cepuonal influence which the State has welded for
nearly twenty years in National legislation through
the force and experience of her Senators and Repre-
sentatives will hardly be prolonged when the last of
the race of statesmen educated by the anti-sayery
agitation passes of the stage of action.

The accounts which two reporters of different
journals give of the scenes around the pool and
gambling houses IN Long Island City combine to
produce most disgusting and revolving picture.
The late action of the city authorities has driven
the worst of these "hells" to our neiyhboring
suburbs, where metropolitan gamblers can conven-
iently reach them. The usual scenes are there
varied by rioting among the gamblers, in which
exercise, as well as in the gambling the police and
other officers of the town government freely parici
pate in explanation and il is said that the
town Is bankrupt. which is not unnatural since such
industries prevail there, and that it does not paw
the police to do their duty. As consea ence pool
rooms flourish. Inquiry is made for the District
Attorney of The county i'm which Long Island City
as sl'uatedf Does he not know that pool selling is
violation of the State law. and that Governor Cor
nell lately directed the Distrct-Attorneys of the
State to use every endeavor 10 suppress the abuse
And if he does know it for fact, what reason is
there why, in view of the shameless publicity of
this vice. the Governor should suppress the Dis
trict-Attorncyf
