For Rent.

A youth went out TO serenade
The lady whom he loved best,
And passed beneath the mansions shade,
Where erst her chamber used to rest.
He warbled till the morning light
Came dancing DER the hilltops' rim,
But no fair maiden blessed his sight,
And all seemed DIRK and drear to him
With heart aslow, and eyes ablaze,
He drew much nearer than before,
When, to his horror and amaze,
He saw "For Rent" upon the door.

An Improvement in the General
Condition of Trade.
THE STOCK MARKETS IN CHICAGO.
Wheat, Pork and Lard Little Slow-light
Weight Clothing in Demand
The Iron Trade
About $50"

New YORK, June 10.-Special kilograms
from leading business centers throughout
the United States show that there mas
been distinct, though not great I'M
proyement in general trade. A prominent
fayoring influence has been better weather.
The distributors of lightweight clothing
and summer fabrics were the first to feel
the change for the better. The movement
of staples has also been more active at the
larger centers, particularly West and
Northwest.
The Industrial Situation
still exhibits the evidence of over-produc
ton in several lines, and to that extent no
improvement has been made.
Wheat has been lower. The prospects
for spring wheat have continued TO grow
steadily brighter, and although bear crop
adyices have rather lost their potency
through having been discounted by the
speculaters, still the generally better crop
outlook since the warm weather has served,
together with the large amount of wheat IN
sight, and favorable adyices from abroad,
70 keep prices down.
Corn and Provisions.
tionally higher. This has been on account
OF a better demand at home, and from the
other side, as well as numerous statements
from the West Of damage and the necessity
for replanting. Provisions have been low
er. Pork and lard have been in no de-
mand here, or from foreign shippers.
London advices consider prices here al
together too high, and buyers there are
not in the market for American products
It is thought that pig iron has touched
bedrock, but members of the trade say
more furnaces will have to blow out before
a recovery in prices can set in. Stocks at
furnaces tributary to New York and Phila-
delphia markets are said to amount to
100000 tons, which constitute
Seriously Depressing Influence.
More orders have been received within
few days than in similar period for long
time.
The anthracite coal trade is in 4 health
ful condition. The surplus OF l,0Oh,OoJ
toLs over the quantity mined at CORES,
pending time last yesr, it is asserted, Will
proye no obstacle to the prosperity OF the
trade as il has already gone very largely
into consumption and stocks are relatively
small, and the trade look for profitable
season. Prices it is thought, will be higher
for July.
Petroleum, on the whole, is lower. The
fight between the
Bull Syndicate
and the Standard Oil Company still con-
tinues. The fluctuations in prices OF GER
tifcates have been marked, and an enor..
nous quantity of oil on paper has changed
hands. The statistical position OF petro-
leum favors an advance, but some opera
tors object and seem to be powerful enough
to prevent it. Freights continue dull;
petroleum charters have been the feature
of the week. Consumers of Awool have
been buying cautiously, and only for near
wants. Values have ruled steady, but
there is an unsettled feeling as to the fu.
ture Of the market.

DASBuRY. CoSN., June 10-Miss Henri
etta Hodshon, of this city, was out walking
on the railroad track yesterday and was
soon in themiddle OF the bridge opposite
Whites fur factory. She was looking
round and did not notice the approach of
the Waterbury freight train of the New
England road, and was first apprised OF her
danger by the shrill shreking of the loco
motives whistle. For moment she was
transfixed with horror, but summoning
her wits she turned to flee and fell between
the ties. Engineer Allen did his best to
Stop the Train,
but as it was on a down grade it was sim.
possible, and the fate of the girl was appar.
emily sealed.
The girl, however, regained her feet
just as the locomotive reached the end OF
the bridge, and then ensued a chase for
life. Persons who witnessed the occur
renee were horror stricken as the girl, who,
realizing he imminent danger she was in,
dashed across the bridge at break'neck
speed. She reached the end OF the bridge
with the locomotive at her heels, and Just
as she threw herself to the ground at the
side the loco motive dashed by her, brush
ing her clothing as it did so. The girl was
picked up unconscious, but was soon re.
stored. though she has not yet regaiued
her wonted spirits.

yesterday given to the press. The review
comprises reports from nearly one thous.
and points in leading corn States, and gives
comprehensive review Of the corn situa.
ton. Inquiries were sent by Lindblom &
Co. during the last days in May to eleven
hundred points in the principal corn
States, ten in number, asking information
concerning the present condition Of corn
acreage planted, damage done by cold and
wet, etc. 4 comprehensive summary OF
answers 10 these questions are given.
The Condition OF Cora
Is generally very good There,is large in.
crease in acreage planted this year, especi.

thousands Of acres of ruined wheat have
been plowed up and planted TO corn. The
damage done by the cold weather aud rains

little more than the delaying Of planting

UuBvQvE, Iowa. June lO.-The lyAChing
OF the Barber brothers in Iowa is the same
to this State as the James gangs demise
was to Missouri. Ike. when hi family
st!airs we've mentioned and he was asked
flap icture should be semitic his wife, broke
---Sletely down and sobbed like a Chi,G.
He was - years old, had been married five
years anh had two children. William was
-, haO been married i've years, and had
three caildren. Their father, who came
t.am New York State, was OF French ORR
gin and located in F.yette county over 50
years sgO.
There Are Three brothers
and several sisters. The eldest brother
still lives in Fa7ette County and works
the old farm. The father has been dead
eighteen years. The mother left for Glen
dive, Montana, six weeks ago. In the
coats they left behind in the woods was
found her address. which they had 90.
tanned from one of their sisters. They
could not read or write to amount to any
thing, because rs Ike says 1--WE never paid
any attention to it.
Their Grimes.
The first notable crime committed by
them was the killing last September OF a
deputy sheriff named Marion Sheppard.
When asked in regard 10 the shooting OF
Sheriff Sheppard las: September, Bill said
they had worked Tor a farmer who had
cheated them out of their pay, and they
ran OFT with horse and sold it, and Shep-
pard came to arrest them. He drew a re.
yolyer as soon aS he ordered them to sur.
render and fired, the ball striking Bill in
the head. and Ike then drew a revolver
and killed Sheppard.
ssAfter killing him they skulked toWater-
loo, and then took a train from there to
Cedar Rapids and Council Bluffs, and went
TO Clay county, Kansas and bought ferry
on the Republican river, which they ran
three months, and afterward

work at home, but worked out some for
their neighbors and relatives. They deci-
ded after their first bloody work to be
like the James and Younger brothers,
claiming egerybody's hand was against
them. They were always looked
upon SIS roughs, and were the
Terror Of the Township.
When asked if they heard Of the murder
of a farmer and hired man in Kane county.
H., in August, 1852, they said not, but
they heard that a rich old man named
Lord was robbed there by two men of his
money. watches, ETC., but vas not hurt by
the boys at all. They get wrathy when the
case was mentioned and gave evidence OF
having been implicated therein. Parties
living near their old home said to-day that
after they came back from Illinois, where
they had been visiting a sister, they had
plenty of money Snd spent it freely in sa'
looms. They were sworn to stay together,
and the fact that Ike could easily have es.
capped on the night of their csptv-e bad he
not waited 10 help his brother, indicates
tbis.
