NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Charlie and
Bob Ford, the slayers of Jesse James,
having finished their engagement at
the Broadway museum, leave tonight
for Kansas City to stand trial for par
ticlpating in the murder of Wood Hite,
one of James's gang, who lost his life
mysteriously at the house of the Fords.
father early last winter. In con
versation tonight Bob Ford said: :
well, 1 see James has come in and
surrendered. Now, 1 am anxious to
see what Gov Crittenden will do. He
promised as much as that he would
never pardon Frank. If he does then

His desire to reform is all stuff, he
simply wants to get in because he is
afraid to stand out, or perhaps he
thinks it the easiest way to get out at
once He is u nice penitent, and it
would be a nice state of affairs to
turn him loose to go cunning after me. y
The young man is evidently much ag-
itated at the prospect.

Immanaa shinmenta.

CHICAGO, Oct. There is an i'm
mense amount of goods being shipped
to New Mexico from this city to-day.
The freight depots of the Chicago. Bur-
lington and Quincy road are taxed to
their utmost capacity with freight con-
signed for the Territory. The princi-
pal portion OF the consignments con-
sists of clothing, gents furnishing
goods, boots and shoes. hats and caps.
and Wilson Bros celebrated shirts.
Car load after car load of this class of
freight leaves this city aaily, and most
of it is intended for the mammoth
clothing establishment of Lewis & Ul-
man, the Star clothiers. at Albuquerque,
New Mexico. People here are just
commencing to have an idea of the
Importance of the central city of New
Mexico, and the business men here are
of the opinion that there are more
goods sold by the Star clothiers than
by any other retail house in the west.
There is considerable excitement in
commercial circles since the discovery
of the immense business done by the
Albuquerque Star clothiers and several
of the leading houses contemplated re-
moving to Albuquerque to compete
with them for the trade, until they as
certained that the way they did busi-
ness would admit of no competition.
The best posted travelling men report
that Lewis s. U man have the trade
and are bound to keep it.

union Paclflc stecks.

NEW YORK, October IA fierce
struggle has been going on over the
Union Pacific since last Thursday, al
most entirely monopolizing the atten-
ton of the street, thrusting Louisville
and Nashville into the background for
the moment. On that day over ninety
thousand srares of Union Pacific were
bought and sold. Gould, Vanderbilt
and others of the largest holders of the
stock sold out some time ago. Mr..
Bellden, owner of the famous steam
yacht, Yosemite, bought while these
people were selling out. He is said
to have purchased forty-two thousand
shares from LIS up to 1.30, the high
est or nearly the highest point of pur-
chase. Gould and Bellden are not
friends. A transaction which occurred
some years ago enabled Bellden to get
away with a Gould deal and Gould

that at least Gould was the victim of

everywhere. Even bonds of the
company have been very freely

shown quiet decline. Most damaging
allegations have been made against its
credit, and Gould has openly declared
that the road would soon be in the
hands of it's bondholders.

Star Route bribery Case.

WAsHINGTo October 7.-Attorney
General Brewster is expected here
Tuesday, when proceedings will be in
augurated and pushed vigorously in
the Star Route bribing cases. District
Attorney Corkhill finished the pl elm
mary work and all the papers that he
had have been sent to the department
of Justice for the use of the attorney
general. The absence of the parties
supposed to be implicated in the ap-
proaches made to jurors in the inter-
est of the defence is the cause of con-
siderable comment. The opinion is
prevalent in Washington that it is at
present too warm for their comfort.
Officials at the department of justice
think the government will have no
trouble in convicting several would-be
Jury fixers, as evidence taken before
District Attorney Corkhiil is said to
almost convincing. Star Route men
exhibit great uneasiness and much
anger over the fact that the depart
ment of justice decided to take a full
charge to the jury of bribery. The
Investigator, the chief Star Reuters
organ, opens its abuse of the attorney
general to-day and others who are con-
nected with the effort of exposure of
the attempt at bribery of J. Hen

visited him during the morning. At
the hotel yesterday he wrote upon the
register, Frank James, wife and child,
remarking it was the first time he had
signed his real name in sixteen years.
There were a number of bidders for
the autograph, but the landlord dc
clined to permit the register to be cnt.
James appearance strongly indicates
the rapid approach of consumption, al
though he asserts he is in good
health. 1t is evident that lie
is considerably broken physically if not
i'll spirit 1t is the general opinion that
he coniidentially expected to be ad-
mitted to bail yesterday,and there is no
doubt that he could give bonds in any
amount demanded. The regular term
of the criminal court occurs in Novem-
Der, but it is thought that Judge
White will give hearing to the ap-
plication for bail before that time.
There is Il great difference of opinion
as to the probability of sufficient evil
dence being obtained to convict him of
the charges preferred in this county.
Opinions are also greatly at variance
as to the chances for pardon in case of
conviction. Major Edwards states posi-
lively that James had encouragement
farther than that offered in the letter
from Governor CrIttenden, published
Yesterday.

systematic Stealing.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IA Tucson
dispatch says: The Star publishes the
report of the grand jury, repeating that
the Cibicu prison rs now in Jail here
are innocent of any crime and that the
guilty Indians were long ago permitted
to escape through the connivance of
Agent Tiffany. That officer, it appears
from evidence given the grand jury,
not only arranged to have the guilty
Indians get away, but purposely ar
rested the innocent Indians and had
them in confinement for months to
cover the flight of the murderers. That
it was no mistake, but conspiracy on
the part of the agent, is shown by the
evidence of the Indians to-day, to whom
Tiffany revealed his plan, and told
them that this was the only Way to
save the others from being hung or
shot. The Indians also testified to a
regular system of stealing Indian goods
by Tiffany, with the merchants of
Globe, Maxy and other points. Inves-
legation reveals condition of grand
peeulation and dishonesty that exceeds
anything of the kind ever known on
the frontier.

railroad building in Mexico brings
nearer every day mercantile centers of

country, and it is felt that preparations
for a great increase of international
credit that must result from this open
ing, should now be decided on. Al
