MORE ABOUT MORGAN'S
DEATH.
The Statement ola Lebanon, Ky,
Correspondent of the Courier
Journal Disputed by Washing
ton Parties.
Special to the Courier Journal.


WASHINGTON, August 13.-The re-
cent letter Of John Barker, of Leb-
anon, KY, to the Courier journal, de-
claring that he had it from an eye
witness that John Morgan was shot
after he had surrendered, is disputed
here. A gentleman who claims to
know the facts says that Major Chas.
A. Withers. who had been Morgan
chief of staff, under date of Septem
ber 3, 1864, wrote to Mrs. John H.
Morgan as follows
General Morgan was killed In the
garden Of Mrs. Williams, at Green
vile, while endeavoring to escape. He
was struck in the center of the breast,
the ball passing through his heart.
General Gilmore, U. S A., gave Cap
tain Rogers and myself permission to
wash and dress the body, which we
did With such facilities as we're in
our power"
Colonel Brownlow, who commanded
q regiment in the fight where Morgan
vas killed, said, III a conversation to-
day:
All the clothes Morgan had on
we're of Yankee make. His trousers
we're sky blue, with yellow stripe
running down the legs, and he wore
pair of high top boots with patent legs
and a checked shirt. all of which were
doubtless obtained from Union SOL
diers he had captured or killed in his
Kentucky raids. He left his coat
and waistcOst Of gray in the roOm he
slept in tie night before be was killed,
and those | gave to Captain Clay. of
his staff, to bury him in. He left his
coat Of gray puFposelY so he could
bettes espapa IN his Yankee blue
pants. When shat he was about to
mount his thoroughbred sorrel racer,
on which he ran the gauntlet Of the
Union forces after he escaped from
the Ohio penitentiary. He had been
treated as common convict while in
the peniteutiary, and it is creditabIe
to bis courage that no took desperate
chances rather than be subjected again
to such indignities. He was not killed
by squad of the Ninth Tennessee
cayalrG under RroYhleW, but Nv a
squad pf the IhirtesptB, commanded
by Lieutenant Colonel Ipgerton."
The Lebanon correspondent also
says that the woman who betrayed
him is begging her way through the
world and that CamDbsll %ho :
alleged by Mr. Barker to be the man
thsb killed Morgan, was killed in a
barroom in Pexas several years ago.
Here, again, Mr.. Barker is mistaken.
The woman who betrayed him now
holds comfortable position in one of
the government departments in this
city. She had recently been made a
widow by the killing OF htr husband,
Union soldier, in battle, when she
conveyed the intelligence eighteen
miles away that led to the surprise and
capture Of Morgan's command, and
doubtless undertook the enterprise
with zeal and ayidity, fer women are
not superior to tue spirit Of revenge.
As to Campbell, Colonel Browulow
says he was living in Indiana few
months ago, and that it was not Camp.

brought Morgan's body off the field.

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !

New YORK, Jan. 13.-The apathy which
has characterized the dealings in Wall
street during the past week bids fair to ex-
tend into the coming one, judging from the
tone to-day. A little life was instilled into
Delaware & Lackawanna early,bu the ten
dency was downward, and loss of per
cent, from the opening figure was the re-
in demand for a time, and made gain
from 1873 Is to 13418. After the appear
ance of the bank statement, which was
quite favorable, showing an increase in re-
serve of $3,2OO,0OO, prices improved sufi-
GENTLY to carry them above last nights
closing and there was little more
activity visible. Richmond & Denville
made another bad break to At, afterwards
recovering to 5115.
The market was pretty firm during the
closing hour, though transactions were
limited, and there was but little vim in the
final dealings. Concerted action on the
part OF the bull leaders, and an Offering Of
something more attractive than has been
rendered during the past week, will be
necessary before the public will feel in
clined to assist in any upward movement.
The market continues to be waiting one.
To-day's business was tride more brisk
than yesterdays, but it was very dull all
the same. There were not many rumors
and the boys were watch
ing for something to turn
up. Meantime the market
is getting into a temper III which less i'm
portant circumstances than heretofore
would cause an important movement of
prices. There were minor changes in
some specialties. Jersey Central was firm
on apparently we'll; founded rumors that
Vanderbilt was large buyer of the stock
in order to make his connection from New
York to Philadelphia to complete his new
line to the Clearfeld coal regions. West
srn Union was strong on repeated reports
that all litigation at present existing was
shortly to be compromised, and the Union
Pacific, on an understanding that to-day's
Boston meeting would show the company
ID be in better condition than it was be-
heved to be. Indeed, there came considerable
orders from Boston to buy Union Pacific,
although with them later III the day was
the news that the Boston meeting did
nothing. An advance rumor was that the
report of the government examiner would
reveal a large floating debt, but it he'd no
effect on the stock. There was a rattle
down in Memphis & Charleston which no
one seemed to understand. The announce.
ment that coal was being sold below cir
cular prices by the Pennsylvania company
and individual shippers did not affect the
anthracite coal road, whose representatives
will meet next week for the adoption of
measures looking to a restriction of pro-

ADJUSTMENTS.

In amusement circles the past week
the performance on Tuesday evening of
the st. Paul Choral society and the ap-
pearance on Thursday night of Minnie
Hauk, the cantatrice, supported by the
Memberships of Minneapolis, the Choral
society of this city and several celebrated
soloists.
OF the respective performances on
Tuesday and Thursday evenings,
the GLOBE has hitherto spoken at
ength. 1t has seldom fallen to
the lot of a st. Paul audience to enjoy two
more thoroughly artistic and pleasing per-
formances, and those who contributed to
make the events a success are entitled
to all possible credit.
On each occasion tAe Opera house contain
ed large ami fashionable audiences, and in
every way the entertainment was declared
a great success.
On Friday evening the Alvin Joslin Com
edy company opened at the Opera house to
a large audience. As before stated IN the
GLOBE Mr.. Davis has succeeded in making
a distinct creation of his character and the
drama is we'll calculated to afford pleas
ant evenings entertainment.
The comedy was repeated at the matt
nee performance and last night, and in
each instance it drew out laSge and en-
thusiastic audience. The DIANA is of
course frothy, but so long as it meets with
popular favor there is no occasion to carp
or kick.

"Oae Hon.an,s Life -

Miss Bertha Welby who will be remem-

''Miss Bertha Welby must have been

Miss Welby has begun her starring tour, is
written by Elliott Barnes, the author of

many of the characteristics of that drama.
The author has thrown in not a few start

role of Agnes, assume by Miss Welby,
contains many opportunities for the dis
play of the emotional strength in which
she excels. She has. moreover. fine stage

freely, and shippers were favored with
only fair number of orders
Foreign advices showed an advance of Sd
in lard, but other articles were unchanged
Eastern markets were steadier. The re-
ceipts of products were liberal and The
shipments of all kinds large. The demand
for mess pork was fairly active and the
offerings were moderate. Prices were adj
vanced 10@15c on the whole range, but
outside prices were not maintained. Cash
was quiet and steady at $17.50@17.75. The
inquiry for lard was active and the offer
ings large. Prices advanced 10@1215c per
100 lbs, but closed comparatively easy.
Cash was in fair request, and sold at 5000
@1O.7215. Live hogs sold 10c higher to-
day. Receipts $4,000 head. The market
was active and firm.
A little more life was manifested in the
market for hog products during the past
week and largely increased
speculative business was reported. During
the early part of the day the feeling was
tame and prices averaged lower, but near
the close a decidedly stronger feeling was
developed and a material and substantial
advance in prices gained, and was we'll
maintained. Spectators purchased very
freely, more particularly of the deferred
deliveries, but shippers we're not inclined
to follow the advance to any extent. The
stocks on hand are gradually increasing,
but are considerably less than at this time
last year. The receipts of product are
fair for the season of the year and the
shipments of all descriptions quite liberal
and widely distributed. The tendency of
prices in the corn market exerts an indi-
rect influence on the market for hog
products and prices therefore sympathize
to some extent. The export movement is
fair, somewhat in excess of the movement
at this time last year. 1t is estimated that
the winter packing will fall somewhat be-
low the returns of last season, and that by
the close of next month the stocks on hand
in this country will be lighter by at least
the product of 100000 hogs than at the
corresponding time last year. The move
ment of hogs is somewhat lighter than at
this time one year ago, but the probabili-
ties are that there will be little decrease
from now until the close of the season and
the quality may possibly show some i'm
provements over the returns of last
season. The packing at this point
to date is about 10000 hogs
short of the returns of
last year, and the decrease in the amount
of product made is about 100000
pounds. The stocks on hand are estimated
to be about 100000 pounds less than at
this time last year. The offerings of pro-
duct for immediate delivery are not very
large, as the difference in prices from
month to month have been widened sufi
GENTLY to induce operators to carry the
property, Notwithstanding the closeness of
the money market.

This evening Seibert's orchestra gives
its usual Sunday evening concert, and has
prepared for it an exceedingly pleasant
programme. One of the chief attractions
on the programme will be the flute solo by
Mr.. Guibert. This gentleman has been
connected with the orchestra and the Great
Western band for more than two years
and a great many people have won
dered why it is that he has
never appeared as a solo per-
former. He received considerable part
of his musical education on the flute at
the conservatorie in Paris, and is very
skillful performer on that instrument.
This being the case great many people
have been justified III wondering why he
