Finances Likely to be Easy-Business
Chanses-FIiltiDss OF tho
Househoidsrs.
The first of April, the business Of which
will be divided this year between Satur-
day, March 81, and Monday, April 2,
draws near and signs multiply that there
will be no stringency in the money market
here nor any depression in business circles.
For month past parties seeking
investments have been busted III
investiy cations of their security and
the lawyers and court house officers
have been engaged in making searches
and 1t is now manifest that for we'll Sc
cured loans the ruling rate of interest will
be about ) per cent. There will be fewer
changes OF Investment than last year be-
cause then moro permanent loans were
made than usual, and less money is now
seeking investment. We hear of some
extra good loans made at II and few even
as low as 4, but tho security is gilt edged
and the term 4 long one, while agreat many
Of good average security are made ut D,
and few now held at that rate are dis
turbed by borrower or lender. Business
men generally report 4 good account of
last years business and little difficulty
with settlements. The freedom with
which the tobacco crop has moved off in
the last sixty days has made the farmers
easy and frightened up business.
Rents are moderate and few good
houses are empty or hunting tenants.
The signs of preparation for extensive
building operations throughout the city are
very numerous and material men and
mechanics are hopeful ola good season
for them. The two new market houses
projected are among the chief improve
ments of q public character, while the
Fulton bank building, Martins commodi

Duke and Chestnut streets, the block of

the Columbia turnpike beyond the watch
factory, and John /. Hartman's elegant
new mansion Oh North Duke, near James,
are among tho notable improvements of
the past season which are just approach
ing completion or are already occupied.
| The conservatism of local business in
terests is illustrated by the few changes
of firms or reorganizatiOns that are an

ltA Very KemArkAbio Features.


Dick Heilig is still in Jail, and his case
creates much comment among lawyers and
aldermen. The original charge against
him was larceny. A tru, bill was found
against him. He gave bail to answer at
court. He jumped bis bail: A billpiece
was taken out by his bondsman, and he
was arrested, but escaped from the consta-
bic, He was q fugitive from justice for
months, and was arrested in this city
few days age, as has been before reported.
He was locked up and two other charges
were made against him-one for feloniOus
assault and the other for carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons. A duplicate of
the bail piece was also taken ont
yesterday, Heilig had hearing OH
habeas corpus, and Notwithstanding the
duplicate bail piece he was discharged by
Judge Patterson, the district attorney hav.
ing made statement that the charge of
larceny agaist him could no. be sdstai ined
Notwithstanding thOiinding of the grand
jury. 1t is said there is no doubt that the
larceny was committed by Heilig, and the
only difficulty in cohvicting him results
from disinclinatiou Of the prosecutor to
appear against him. There is good deal
OF unfavOrable criticism on account of his
discharge on habeas corpus, on his own
recoguizance, after the bail piece had been
duplicated and executed, as this action
releases the original bail from all respon-
sibility and Heileg's recognizance is
worthless. He is still prisoner, however,

DETERMINEO SUICIDES.
1he Ending OF Penitentiary Convict.

ihe Ending OF . Penitentiary Convict.
Charles Deckert, aged 81, prisoner
under sentence of eight years in the
Eastern penitentiary for robbery and
larceny in Lebanon county some time pre-
vious to August 25, 1879, the date of ar
rival at the prison, committed suicide some
time on Monday night by hanging himself
to gas bracket in his cell. At his re-
quest he was recently given muslin shirt
to wear, as he complained of the usual
prison garb irritating his flesh. Yester-
day morning, when he was discovered
hanging by Keepers Hagney and Park, he
was found to have torn the shirt into
strips, which he had made into moose
and fastened to the bracket. Into this
moose he had thrust his head, throwing
the weight of his body upon his neck, one
leg hanging on the floor and the other
resting lightly on the seat of a bench. The
suicide was deliberate, as the man could
have extricated himself at any time by
supporting himself on his legs and with
drawing his head from the moose, which
was but loosely made.
Suicide After Many Attempts.
Dennis Tcomey, of Shenandoah, hanged
himself in his bed room. His daughter
had been to a ball and returned home
about three o'clock and was horrified to
find her father suspended from the bed
| post dead. He had attempted self
destruction a number of times. Several
months ago he was discovered hanging
from the rafters of an out house, but was
cut down by a neighbor in time to save
his life. He was IS years of age and a
miner by occupation, working regularly.

CoNKL1NG was discharged from
further custody in New York yesterday,
not, he it noted, because the man
whom he shot was his wayward sisters
paramour, but because the judge thought
he had acted in self-defense. 1t may
be, as Conkling's lawyer insisted on
claiming, that the "moral seoti-
mcnt" of the community holds
him guiltless on other grounds
but if so it only proves anew that the
conservative judgment of the law is
better than the hot-blooded decision Of
the community" The judge who dis
charged the accused put his action on nc
such sandy foundation as that he had
avenged his {" family HONOR" but upon
the broad, natural and legal principle OF
the right of self-defense.

John Howard Payne receives undue praise
for his song OF Home, Sweet Home
when SO much Of its popularity is due to
the melody Of its music, By Sir Henry
Bishop, are reminded that he did notinvent
the air. It is an old Ca!abrian peasant
song sungfor generations il Sicily. Bishop
obtained it from Capt Alexander Stuart,
who served under Lord Bentick. He
never claimed it as his own, but on the
title of the original English edition, stat
ed the source from which he obtained it.
When Payne was living, or rather starv-
iug, in Paris, in 1928, Charles Kemble
bought his manuscripts, among them a
play entitled Clari, the Maid of Milan"
Kemble persuaded Payne to alter this to
the ibretto tor an opera, to which Bishop
was to furnish the music. This was done
and Payne introduced his poem Home.
Sweet Home, " to which Bishop set the
music Of the old Sicilian folk.song. The
following two stanzas, generally omitted
in the publication of the song, are cited to
prove its general lack of literary merit
and that its popularity is owing to it's
sentiment

In the New Jersey Methodist confer
ence the report of the committee on
the state of the church " being made, as
its trainers claimed, mot to please the
conference, but merely to represent lie
case in its truthful aspect, unpleasant
though it be-" was of such character
in its statistics in regard to pfobationeIs
and in its comments thereon that the
members of conference waxed indignant
over it, claimed that it slurred them,
that to put it OIL the minutes would bea
disgrace to the conference and that 1t
should be suppressed lest it bring disgrace
on the church. After considerable OF
this sort of talk and a cOrresp0ndlnSiy
warm defense Of the truthfulness OF the
report, "the difference was adjusted by
substituting the last year. report OF II e
committee on the same subject" Ii Will
strike the average secular mind that this
WAS a most remarkable way to dispose
of an unpleasant subject. If the report
was inaccurate and unreliable it should
have been gainsaid and its statistics e.
futed by those who denied them if this
could not be done it was certainly more
of a disgrace to the conference to sup
press the report than it would have been
to have received it and proiited 1rcni its
showing. But, most ludicrous of all, was
the idea of substituting for it the report
of year previous on Il different period
and another state of facts. This recalls
the story of the woman who would not
consult the almanac for the current year,
but went by the old one because the new
calendar predicted rain OH the day sie
had set to wear her spring bonnet.

EX-SENATOR KELLOGG, of Louisiana,
who is at present representative in
Congress-, and who has been a coDSpicl-
Gus illustration of successful political
rascality, seems to have come TO the end
of his rope. He finds himself under in-
dictment for bribery. There is no ques
ion that he has been guilty of varied
assortment of crimes &; the only question
is rs to their proof. He fraudulently
occupied seat in the United States
Senate and avoided no means, however
disreputable, that tended to keep him in
possession of political power in Louis
lana. That his evil. practices should at
last bring him into criminal court is
not surprising the wonder is that he
so long escaped.

DUKES has cut the gordian knot of

He proves that he has some sense left or

seat in the Legislature would only have
intensified public Indignation at him
right or wrong it would likely have beer
denied him, and even if obtained its oc'
cupancy would have been made anything
but agreeable for him. Toa constituency
which would not elect him were it to be
done over, and to the House, which was
in quandary as to its legal rights i'll the
matter, he has afforded relief by taking
himself out of the public service and
sight. The nearer the. authorities APP
preached to the question of his expul-
sion the more difficult it became,
especially in view of the congressional
precedent-cited by the New York
Tribune in discussing this very matter
in the case of Herbert, the California
congressman, who shot and killed a
hotel waiter in Washington. a resoIu-
tion was introduced to expel him and Il
petition was received from ., 2S2 citizeus
