MORNING REPORT.

MORNING REPORT.
NEW YORK, March 10, IL a. m.-The stock
market opened strong and H@S per cert
higher, Richmond & Danville, Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis, Alton & Terre Haute
preferred, East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia
and Richmond & Allegheny being prominent
in the advance. In the early dealings the gen.
eral market advanced 4@3 per cent, Louis
vile & Nashville, Memphis>& Charleston and
New Jersey Central being most conspicuous
Following this was reaction of X OAK pei
cent, Louisville & Nashville and Nashville
Chattanooga g. st. Louis leading. At II
O'Clock there was fractional recovery in the
general list and an advance of rs per cent. in
Missouri Pacific. Sales of stocks so far have
been at fractionally higher figures and the tone
of the market firmer with better foreign de.
mand. Insiders in the management bought
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul yesterday, and
Chesapeake & Ohio currency bonds advanced
three points on good buying. Gould said yes
terday that the decision this week had been
greater than he expected. The City of Berlin
brought more stock and more Erie seconds
than looked for and the bears put out great
deal of short stock. There was now, how
ever, strong interest on the bull side and he
did not think the bears would gain another
such advantage. The market might not 60
up very decidedly until after the April corner
had been turned. The very large disburse-
ments to be made by the government and by
corporations for redemption, interest and divi-
dends would make the money market extreme
ly easy after the first of April and he expected
then to see good bull market. If the bears
became frightenednnd began to cover it might
set in sooner. Sage and Vanderbilt talk bull
ish. The latter is said to have made another
large loan on governments. Predictions OF
higher and of lower prices for Louisville &
Nashville and the coal shares are about equally
divided. The statement is made that Gould
will receive dividend en- 100000 of Mis-
souri, Pacific.

DRENCHED WITH BLOOD.
A Horrible Sight Disclosed by Entranc

A Horrible Sight Disclosed by Entrance
to q Cleveland Basement.
CLEVELAND, March 10.-Mrs. Tempey Da-
vison was found late this afternoon lying dead
in the basement bedroom under the saloon on
st. Clair, near Water street. Two frightful
gashes on the left side of the neck, and face,
neck, hands, dress, bed and floor drenched with
blood, an open razor on the floor where 1t
evidently dropped from her right
hand. She was married in Gin
clnnati last July to Chinaman
called George Sam, having previously left her
shows she has brother, Nathan Watkin, in
Clsrkeville, Ark. to whom she wrote last De-
cember from Nashville, Tenn, for money to
go to him. She and the Chiuaman went to
Nashville from Cincinnati, and as indicated
by recommendation found, she was employ.
ed as domestic by L. c. Lyshy. About three
months ago she and two Cinnamon, George
Sam, and Las Chung, came here and for six
weeks the trio. jointly occupied the
body was found. Sam made and
peddled wax flowers, Chung peddled too. Both
Cinnamon were out this afternoon selling
their wares. Sam returned at o'clock aud
found the woman stretched on the bed, cold
10 death. He informed the people upstairs,
who notified the police. Both Cinnamon
were imprisoned pending the inquest. Sam
says deceased for several days has believed that
her husband, Davis, from whom she was not
divorced, was boarding in the upper part of
the house and arrest her for bigamy. This
may explain the motive for the suicide. De-
ceased was 81 years old. The certificate of
marriage to the Chinaman states she was born
in Germany. The address of Miss Nellie Gil
gamer, Cedar Hill, Robertson county, Tenn,
was found among the woman's papers.

decidedly higher. Barley quiet. Rye dull.
Ground feed in fair demand. Bran was firm
at sl3. Baled hay was steady at $7.50@S. co.

that the injury such that the deceased lived
several days after the wounds given, goes to
show clearly, that there purpose to KILL but
that the assault if made, made rob the deceas-

You have heard the evidence touching these mat

Pleasant.

Nearly all our country exchanges,
which go upon the credit system, are
at this time issuing stirring appeals to
subscribers to pay up. During the
present year we have not stopped the
papers of more than half dozen SUBJ
scribers in Jackson county, except at
the request of subscribers. Nine out
of every ten of our subscribers are
honest and prompt to pay. True, they
sometimes need to be reminded that
they are neglecting this little matter,
and then we at once hear from them.
Look at the list of those who paid
last week. The payments range from
20 cents up to 50. These are small
sums, certainly, and those who pay
can do so without any inconvenience;
yet in the aggregate the sum made up
of these trifiRg amounts enables US to
pay two or three printers their weekly
wages.
1t is indeed pleasant to have nearly
1900 subscribers, nearly all Of whom
pay without dunning or threatening.
Now send us dollar.

ImpOl tant to Advertisers.

On and after Jan. 1, 1888, we will
in all cases charge 10 cents per line
for all advertisements in reading type,
or among reading matter, for each and
euery insertion. This class of adver-
tisements has nearly filled our reading
space on the third, or local page. If
we spoil the appearance and useful
ness Of our paper, we must be we'll
paid for it. We would much prefer
to have all paid matter classed to-
gether, as advertisements. pure and
simple, and it would be much better
for advertisers; yet many prefer their
advertisements among reading matter.
Well, you can have them there, upon
the above terms, but on no other.

The Lancaster Gazette speaks the
following truthful words about the
sham "Reformers,'' or sham "Inde-
pendents:"
'The contemptibly insignificant vote
Of Stewart, the 'Independent Repub-
lican" candidate for Governor in
Pennsylvania-less than 1900
beautifully illustrates the senseless
and knavish character Of the claim
made by his supporters before the
election, that his vote would equal, if
it did not exceed that Of Beaver, the
regular Republican candidate. It
was, in fact, about one eighth Of that
vote"

Surprise Party.

On Tuesday night Of last week
number of the friends of Susan Gale
got up a.surprise party for her, at the
residence of J. L. Long. A large
number of presents were contributed,
which were presented in the following
speech by Mrs. j. L. Long:
''These ladies have met here tonight
to offer you these articles upon this
table as small testimonial of their
gratitude, and kindly feeling for you.
To US all, in time of need, you have
been a faithful and true friend. A
tried friend, Susan, for in some of our
homes, you have been laboring near
thirty years; and now, that you are
growing old with the rest Of US, we
have thought you would not take it
unkindly if we would provide you
with some good, warm clothes, for
winter, and as this clothing warns
you externally, may Gods grace and
love abide in you, and so warm your
heart, that your last days will be your
best; and when you are done toiling,
so quietly and cheerfully in this
world, you shall be given bright and
happy home in the Great Hereafter"
Susan's reply was very nice, and
like every one else that has been sur
prised. "Said she did not think any
one could surprise her.
After prayer by Mrs. Long, refresh
ments came next in order, and Susan
instead Of being a guest as was in
tended, was too glad to get to give
them all cup Of coffee, so Grace and
her waited upon the company to the
satisfaction Of all, [ believe.

A Knabe i'm the White House,

There was seen yesterday at Messrs.
Knabe & Co.'S factory magnificent con-
cert grand, just finished by them for the
presidential mansion. President Arthur,
who is a thorough connoisseur of music,
in selecting piano for the White House,
decided in favor of the Knabe Piano as
his preference, and ordered accordingly
the instrument referred to. 1t is con-
cert grand, of beautiful finish, in a richly
carved rosewood case, and of superb
tone and action-an instrument worthy
in every respect of the place it is to oc-
cupy. 1t was shipped to it's destination

FRANK FRAYNE, the actor, who re-
Gently shot and killed Miss VonBehren
while trying to shoot an apple from
her head, testified before the Coroner
that Just before the shot he had exam
ined the gun and found it in excellent
condition. Afterward he gave the
gun to Sergeant Benninger, of the
Cincinnati police, who had it examined
by an old and experienced gunsmith.
This gunsmith pronounced the gun to
be in terribly neglected condition,
and expressed astonishment that
fatal accident had not occurred sooner.
So it would seem that either Frayne
was mistaken about having examined
the gun, or he did not know enough
about gun to know when it was out
Of order. It is no wonder Miss Won
Behren was killed.
