WInkcd the OnIcIaIS.

DILTsuoRo, IND, November ll.-About
three weeks ago three men, representing
themselves to be Kentucky officers, APP
peared here, purporting to be after Harvey
Purncl, for burning barn in Kentucky.
They reported that they had come upon
Purnel, and after firing shots, had cap
tured him, slightly wounded, and that one
OF their number was also slightly wound
ed, They recrossed tho river and as Pur.
nell was missing, their story was believed.
1t now appears that PurnGll was murdered,
and that by this rllse the murderers
escaped. last Wednesday two men came
TO this place to get the body OF the man.
They said he had been murdered near
there, and exhibited plat Of the place
where the body lay. After considerable
trouble they found some one to go with
them, and there Purnoll's body was found.
They represented that a heavy reward was
offered for Purnell's body, dead or alive,
and they wanted assistance to get the body
away to get the reward. Failing in this,
they promised to notify the Coroner at
LawrCnceburg, but went away without do
ing so. The Coroner was aitorward noti-
fed and held an inquest Friday, Purncll
was murdered by parties unknown and
the body horribly mutilated. Purnell had
lust moved into the neighborhOOd.

Fall Rad Exhaustive Reports from the PrORi'
neat Commercial and Trade CsHtsrsO Of the
COuntry Showing the Condition Of
Business and FuturS Prospects.

New YoRK, November 1.-THE condi-
ton Of trade during the past week has
been titful and irregular prices OF leading
staples receding somewhat, and the export
trade becoming more active, there has been
slightly increased business in dry goods.
The gain market is somewhat unsettled,
closing easy at u slight advance.
Provisions and pork products have been
weaker, with prices declining all through
the week, though not to any serious extent,
with some improvement at the close and
the market firm.
Cotton dull and the sales unsatisfactory,
the market closing firm at about previous
rates.
In wool fair amount OF business has
been doing, but no speculative feeling has
developed,
Refined petroleum has been dull, and,
certificates fraction better.
Freights have been generally dull and
unsatisfactory, but in petroleum ireights
there has been better inquiry.
In American pig iron u good business
has been done, and prices for oil grades
tirmer The same remark may be applied
to Scotch iron.
For manufactured iron there Is still a
large Consumptive demand. Dealers are
all busy, and the mills find it difficult to
keep abreast Of their orders.
In boots and shoes business shows the
same improvement. Manufactures have
about filled their first orders, but have not
US yet received many duplicate orders.
The lumber trade shows but little change
from previous reports.
The furniture trade shows fair amount
Of activity and the season SO fur is COnsid-
cred satisfactory,

THE BROKEN BRIDGE.
What The Railroad Commissioners
Have TO Say About IL.

ST. LOUIS. December l3.-A Globe Democrat
special from ST. Charles, received very late
last night, says. The State Railroad Com
miSsioncrS, Harding and Pratt were there,
to-day, and made such an examination Of
the wreck OF the bridge as was possible
under the circumstances. Gen. Harding
said, in an interview, that he has no opinion
a. to the cause of the disaster,
and that the commissioners will
recommend to the railroad company
some radical changes among them
the Strengthening OF the approaches to the
bridge, both of which to the structures are
sharp curves. and the filling in of the tres
tlewOrk with earth also that all of the old
part Of the bridge he reconstructed and
made aS strong and safe as the span put
up two years age. and which is believed to
be as secure as any bridge can be made.
The General also says that the reports
that statement had been made to the COM
sioucrS of cracks existing on the upper
chord OF the broken span Of wire
is untrue. They had never been apprised
of such Il thing.
General Harding reached st. Louis, TO.
night, and added to the above that he and
Mr.. Pratt had decided upon what they
would report regarding the disaster, and
its cause. but would not make it public
until they had consulted with Mr.. Sewer,
the third member of the Board, who is now
in the western part of the State. Evident
IL General Harding thinks that the broken
span fell because ii was not strong enough
to support the great weight and strain 1t
had been subjected to, and that the third
span will follow unless it is rebuilt, but he
will not say so publicly at this time.
