100. per CONT In coffee, q 2, In tos,
In sugar, q, and In spices, 20 per cont
The increase In coffee between 1879 and
1879 the ensuing little table shows was some.
thing like ITO. 600. 900 pounds. or 10000 tons.
II will be rememb red that the great ad-
vance In coffee ton years ago took place In
consequence Of a deficiency In the coffee
crops Of Brazil, Java and Ceylon of
together 100 900 tons. When, therefore,
the United States in 1879 importer the
enormous quantity of 100000
tons, against 1876. 900 tons in
1876, the coffee trade In Europe and here
naturally jumped to the conclusion that an.
other great advance was impending in con-
sequence Of permanently increased Ameri-
can consumption. Hence the eagerness to
sneculate in coffee, which manifested itself in
1880, and which would have proved success
full If importation into this country had gone
on at the same rate, and our country had
been able to absorb this enormous surplus
of importation 10 1879 and cope with the
of stock in 1880. This not be.
ing the case, Europe remaining indiffe rent
and crops Icing abundant, the recoil became
unavoidable, causing heavy losses and fail
ures.

Correspondence of the Herald.
SHERMAN, April q. 1881.
This correspondent endeavored to telegraph
you last night in regard to the trial OF
Antonio Stohl, charged with the murder OF
Johann Diggleman, on Range creek, in this
county, in January, 1880, and hauling his
BODY fifty. five miles to Elm Fork of Trinity,
in Denton county, and sinking the body in a
hole of water four and a half foot deep with
rocks tied to the breast and feet. The
corpse, when found, had or two shirts and a
pair of socks only besides the regalia OF
rocks and ropes. Near where the body was
found were discovered tho traces of q fire in
which Stohl had evidently burned
the other clothing of the deceased, as
there wore fund in the ashes
buttons and buckles, such as are usually on
coats, pants and vests. The place was an
out of the way place, and the body had been
dragged from where the wagon stopped to
the hole of wa.e so ne ~seventy.hve yards
distant. Stohl was seen by several some four
or five DAYS previous To the finding OF the
body, camped with deceased on Range creek,
and again in going towards the place
where the body was found, with something in
the wagon covered up with a wagon sheet,
When arrested he was taken TO the grave OF
the dead man, and the lid of the coffin lifted
for him to look at the deceased. On beng
asked if he knew him he answered yes! And
then stated that he killed him in self-defense,
as the deceased tried TO kill him because he
(defendani) had accused the deceased OF
stealing his money tom him. That deceased
shot at him three times, and that then he
struck him with an az and knocked him down,
then struck him again after he fell.
BE also gave to theioficer who guarded him
a graphic and detailed account of his feelings
while hauling the body around and being
with Il alone for two nights and endeavoring
10 conceal the traces Of his crime. He
thought he would kill himself several times.
he buried all ofthe effects OF deceased and
washed his clothes, the wagon bed, wagon
sheet and bedsing, with which he covered the
body while hauling it around
The case was given 10 the jury at 300 last

of Bessen,er steel rails had reached only
IS, i03 tons; in 1880 it was I'll ,f75 tons,

Britain in that year. The total manu-
facture of finished products of Bessemer
steel in the Quilted States in 1880 was
,O75, 266 tons, ns against ,O44,3s2 tons
in Great Britain. Tho United States
now stand mt the head of all nations in
the production OF Bessemer steel. Bat
the production of pig iron in Great
Britain last year was more than twice
that of the United States-7, 72I ,S23 tons
against 37S O2l tons in this country.
The iron product ofthe Southern States
