THROUGH BUSINESS LIGHT.

NO Indications of En- Early Improvement, Is
the Opinion Of Freight Men.
G. 8. Sawyer, general manager of the CONT
mental line, spent yesterday in the city, and in
an informal chat with the railroad reporter, he
remarked that the prospects for business at the
present time were not fatterng Export bust
ness was at nearly suand-still. There was some
-four going forward, and this covered nearly all
the export business; and what was worse, he
could not see signs Of an early improve
msnt. Freight meH were now hanging all their
hopes on the growing corn crop, which certainly
was very promising: but it months before
this would begin to move. The moving OF the
oats crop would cause a little squirt OF, business,
but this would he divided up between SO many
lines that ib would do hut little TO make Ur the
light movement this year as compared with last.
The Continental line, he said, last year at this
time was moving twenty cars where 1t now ham
died one, and the same was truo Of most of the
other fast-freIght lines, Fortunately, he said,
for the railroad companies interior business was
good, and promised to be for some time to come
He added, after looking the field over thorough

Democratic Candidates for Mayor.

Colonel ]. B. Maynard, of the Sentinel, is being
very generally mentioned among the working
men as the Democratic candidate for mayor,
while the men who Fix things" are clamoring
for James Mitchell. Maynard is being urged by
his friends to become a candidate while the
ward politicians are doing all that they can to
discourage him. In referring to the matter yes
terday politician remarked that 1.-THE candi-
dacy of Maynard for mayor would be a farce.
He is a man of ability. but it is not the kind
quired for position of that kind. If Maynard
wants an office he ought to try to get something
more desirable than that of mayor, and il his
friends are looking to his interests they will not
encourage him to make any such sacrifice"

 Governor Waller arrived in the city yes- terday morning at 9:30 o'clock and proceeded to State Attorney Doolittle's office, where he signed the papers brought by Detective Watts. Judge Sanford took his seat on the bench at 10 o'clock, and heard the arguments of the counsel. Ex-Judge Blydenbursh con tended that the prisoner was not legally held, and from nasty glance of the docu ment it did not appear that Net teton was charged with any of fence Mr. Doolittle said that arguments like those of counsel for Nettleton were sometimes called pettifogging in the Supe- rior court. He referred to the cause for the delay in getting Governor Walters sigma ture. p1
 A recess was taken until the afternoon, when Judge Sanford decided that the return was sufficient and denied the right of appeal or the right of Connecticut courts to review 8 Massachusetts indictment. Sheriff Byxbee then took charge of the prisoner and accom- panied Detective Watts to the State line in obedience to the Governors warrant, and there turned the prisoner over to the Massa- chusetts officer
