ers experienced great difficulty in OBJ
tanning accommodations. There is
much shifting of loans, and collaterals
are scrutinized closely, owing to the de.
preston IN the stock market. Curren-
cy continues to flow from this center and
the treasury disbursements are very
light. The discount market is entirely
nominal. The renewed depreciation in
the market is due to dispatch from the
west to the effect that the roads are

Minneapolis and st. Paul The activity
in money is also forcing many weak
holders OF stocks to sell out.

A Pardon Revoked.

LAWRENCE, Kds., Nov. 23.-One oil
the parties whe becnme notorious in
the Bousman murder, which resulted in
the hanging of three negroes from the
bridge, came near getting his freedom
from Justice TO-DAY. 4 young law stu
dent who has for some time acted in
the capacity of correspondent for the
Kansas City journal, wrote to Gov. st.
John on letter head of Hon. s. o.
Thatcher as q correspondent of the
Journal that B. F. Fennimore, now
confined in the county Jail, was a repu.
never been accused of any previous
crime and was convicted only on the
testimony of two disreputable persons,
now in the penitentiary, and that they
had since confessed that they peTjur-
ed themselves. This young man and
others recommended FennimOrc as a
fit subject for executive clemency. Gov.
st. John wrote out a pardon, but as a
matter OF caution sent il to Sheriff
Asher befIre its legal issuance. The
sheriff at once explained the matter TO
the governor and the pardon was re-
voked. 1t is not thought that the young
student is IN any way one of the accom-
pliCes of Fennimore, but that he is the
tool OF INSCRIPTIONS men
Fennimore is most dangerous GRIM
inal, and was convicted of murder in In
diana and sentenced to ten years in the
penitentiary. He broke jail and is sup
posed to have been q leader in several
crimes here and elsewhere, and il would
have terroriZed the community to have
had him again at large.

Globe Democrat: Two things about
the disturbance in the iron trade are
specially noticeable. 1t is thus far con-
fined to the west, and, SO far as steel
rails are concerned, has been primarily
occasioned by the reduction of prices At
certain Pennsylvania mills below the
level at which western mills can pro-
duce. Pittsburg, usually the center of
agitation in this business, Is quiet. So
is Cleveland. Every rolling mill in
Philadelphia is running ON full time.
With regard to the price of rails, one or
two eastern works have taken contracts
at $40 TO $42 ton, or SO to $40 below
the English price plus the duty. These
facts must be taken account OF in fore
casting the future Of the iron market. Il
looks little as if the west needed pro
lection against the cast, just as the cas-
desires 1t against England.

Hure Rohberies by E,npIoyes.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25-The Times says
late last night it was rumored that the
wholesale boot and shoe house of Phelps,
Dodge s. Palmer had for ten months
past been systematically robbed of some
$4,000 to $4,000, possibly more, by
some of their travelling statesmen, in col
fusion with other of their most trusty
employees. The plan pursued was for a
salesman to send in from new
towns in the west fictitious orders from
imaginary firms, or those which dis
solved partnership. Double orders
would then be shipped, the duplicates
being taken up by the travelling sales
man and restored to the Chicago firm.
The greed and boldness of the cOnfeder-
ates excited suspicion and an investiga-
ton followed, which it is said unearthed
the fact that upwards of dozen men
were in the Conspiracy. One of them,
G. N. Wells, is said TO have been ar
rested and cannot be found here. The
whole affair has been very quietly con-
Quoted and the policy of silence has
