LouIsvGLLE, March 24.-The clearings for
the past six days have been S6,4S2,3S2, a
million less than the previous week. This
decrease is accounted for by the unfavOra-

which have largely restricted trade. BuSi-
ness has been fair, considering. Money is
shade easier and there is a hopeful out

The whisky trade is in better shape and the

Joseph Small, and his mother was known
as Mrs. Armstrong. The couple lived to.

left. Nothing was heard OF him until live
years later, whe he returned TO claim the
child, but Frank would not leave his
grandfather, with whom he was then !iy-
ing, and he left again, since which time
nothing has been heard of him. In the
meantime his mother married a man
named Young. As Frank grew older he be-
came quite miSchieyOuS. When about
fourteen years of age he was employed
as a cabin boy on a steamer plying
between this city and the lower ports,
on which his uncle was employ ed. and con-
tinued on the river in various capacities
for a number of years. His aunt, Mrs.
Zell, was meanwhile IN ore than his mother
tO him, and his uncle also befriended him
in many ways During Franks imprison-
meut Mrs. Zelly was his warmeSt and most
constant friend. She sacrificed her own
comfort to afford him some delicacies, and
her devotion to him was wonderful indeed

Upon arriving at the penitentiary he

removed to the cigar shop, but this bust

he was appointed librarian, situation
which Frank, who dearly loved books,
highly appreciated. He remained here
until the expiration of his term. Upon his
release from the penitentiary. he returned

was arrested for murder, which was only
a few days after his release. Mean

were together just few moments before
the fatal shot was fired. But, unlike true
lovers, they have from the first told differ
ent stories of the murder, LOItie swearing
that Frank killed her husband, and the
doomed man denying that he did 80, and
intimating that it might have been Lottle

Indian Commissioner Price states that
he does not know when the commission
appointed to negotiate with the Sioux
Indians for part Of their reservation to
the government would be ready to make
their report to him. Some weeks ago, q
telegram was received from the president
of the commission, Judge Edmunds, from
Pine Ridge agency that the Indians at
that agency had unanimously agreed to
the proposition. These Indians, with
Others at Rosebud, who had previously
agreed to the snmo, constitute moro thar
half OF the entire Sioux nation. As in
dicated in the general dispatches do,
or two ago, the work Of the commission
is practically accomplished, although th,
other portions Of the Sioux nation ar,
yet to be heard from.
