4 Notorious Character Held for the
Grand Jurv

On Saturday night, June 18th, gray mare
was stolen from DR.. J. f. Burlington, of New
Windsor. The next Monday colored man Of
tered gray mare for sale in Frederick city
Among others it was offered to Mr.. Murray
British. The colored man said he was from
Union Bridge and that the mare belonged to
his father; that his father was engaged in hay
packing, owned the mare and mule, and con.
Guiding that he could do without the mare
sent him out to sell her. Mr.. British bargain
ed for the mare at $40. Banks being closed,
he paid fifty cents, took the mare and told the
colored man to call in the morning for the
balance. Mr.. British, suspecting that the an
imal had been stolen, telegraphed to Union
Bridge. The colored man called in the
morning, as per agreement, to get the balance
of the purchase money. Mr.. British asked
him to wait until he could hear from Union
Bridge, whereupon the colored man objected
to Mr.. British making any inquiries, on the
ground that he did not want the people of his
home to think he was "hard up" and left.
In due time DR.. Burlington recovered his
horse from Mr.. British, and Constable Mat
thews, of this city, hearing of the circum
stances OF the case, suspected that John
Bowen, of Union Bridge, was the thief, and
arrested him on Monday and lodged him in
Jail here. Mr.. British was sent for to see
Bowen, TO ascertain whether or not he was
the man who had offered to sell him DR.. Buff
fngton's mare. Mr.. British arrived here on
Thursday, and was sent alone into the jail
yard, where the prisoners were recreating,
and in moment returned, leading Bowen by
the coat, saying "This is the fellow having
recognized him at first sight. Bowen was

Busfness I'M New York.


NEW York, June 22.-FrOm the pub
lie record of business already done, no
support whatever is afforded for the as
SertiOn that business is declining or
stagnant; on the contrary, whoever re-
ports truthfully is compelled to state
that the volume of business, both legit-
innate and speculative, whether measured
in quantities or in values, never was as
large before as at the present time.
At this season for little time specula-
ton in stocks has been dullcr than be-
fore, but exchanges in this city have been
remarkably large from the outset. The
New York exchange for the three weeks
endilg June 18th was the largest on re-
cord for three consecutive weeks, and
exceeds the hitherto unequaled returns
for three weeks of May by nearly
$30,OO0,OO0.
Last year, exchanges at cities outside
of New York amounted to $244, 933, 32S,
which is larger by nearly $12, 600 goo
than the largest amount ever previously
recorded for the third week of the month,
and closely approaches the largest ever
known for the second week. Every city
reports an increase in comparison with
the transactions of the corresponding
week last year. at every city the in
crease is over ten per cent; at sixteen
cities over twenty per cent, at nine over
thirty, and at five over forty, while the
two largest cities outside of New. York
report gains of fifty-six per cent. at Bos-
ton and fifty-nine per cent. at Philadel-
phia. The increase in the aggregate
outside of New York is extraordinarily
large, amounting TO forty-five per cent,
and only a very small part of this adj
vance can be attributed TO the advance
in prices. The fact is undeniable that
the volume of business represented by
payments actually made through banks
is larger than il ever was before. Indeed
while some spectators are going up and
down, croaking continually, some of the
largest merchants frankly admit that
they have never seen larger business.

The duke of SutlIeIland, whO has just
returned to the Atlantic scaboard from
q trip across the continent to California,
speaks enthusiastically Of the magnif-
cent farms that he saw in the west. He
was surprised at their magnitude and the
advantages of improved machinery and
many other agricultural helps which the
farmers of this country have SO near at
hand. He says he has learned. many
ways in which the railways Of this coun-
try are ahead of those in Europe. In
particular he spoke OF the difference Of
the weight of freight cars. People in
England would scarcely believe that one
locomotive could draw eighty loaded
freight cars, and yet he saw it done.
Lighter freight cars have become a great

WICHITA, Kans, June 2S.-Thc dis
patch here on Saturday, giving an &C
count of the phenomenal storm which
swept down the valley, cOmprehended
but fraction of the disastrous results
that have since been reported. A sec.
ton of country ten miles wide, west OF
the Arkansas river, IN this county, suf.
fered greatly. The standing crops OF
wheat, corn, oats, etc, of tens of thou
sands Of acres, were cut down by the
hail. level with the ground. Even The
prairie grass was mown clean. Many
buildings were damaged, and apples,
peaches and grapes were stripped from
trees and vines for a strip Of ten miles
wide by twenty miles or more up and
down the valley.
The electrical storm of Friday night
was repeated again Saturday night with
more direful effects. Alr. z. PendeFgrast,
q saddle and harness dealer, was struck
dead by lightning. He was standing by
an open window of his home. At least
there is where his body was found next
morning by his wife upon returning
from the home of sick neighbor. where
she had been spending the night Mr..
PeBdergrast was q most excellent and
highly respected citizen. During the
same storm the south tower of the Kirby
n. E. church was also struck by light
ming and considerably damaged.
