A DETECTIVE SHOT.

The Great Crouch Murder Case Likely to
he UnraveIed at Last-Judd Crouch Sup
posed to be the Guilty One-Thrilling
Details Expected.
DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 8.-Dlspatches have
been received here, stating that a volunteer de
tective named Brown, who has been working at
at the famous Crouch murder case was shot this
evening near Horton, two or three miles from
the Crouch homestead, by two men who passed
him In buggy. The wound is dangerous one.
Bro Tn is confident hat the man who tired the
shot was Judd Crouch. If this proves true, the
day which shall reveal the perpetrators of that
hldeous quadruple murder is close at hand.
JACKSON, Mich, Feb. 8.-A few minutes after
his evening Detective Brown, of Jonesville,
who has beea engaged on the Crouch murder
case FOR snme time, and has been operating in
the neighbolhood of the Crouch farm, was shot

and he replying IN the affirmative, when one of
the occupants OF the buggy placed a revolver at
Browns breast and fred The ball entered not
far from the heart and lodged near the shoulder
blade. Brown fell, and the men drove rapidly
away. The wounded man, however, was able to
rise, and after walking about quarter of a
mile, two young men from this city happened to
be going toward Horton in buggy, and con-

properly cared for, and although the
wound Is severe one, it is thought it will not
prove fatal. 1t is reported here tonight that
Judd Crouch was seen in the village of Horton,

New YORK, Feb. 8.-The freshets in the
southwestern states have caused more or less IN

Clothing and boots and shoes remain dull. At
many cities not previously 50 reported the
movement of general merchandise has material
ly increased.
The wheat and corn markets have gained
some, though this has been due rather to light
receipts and considerable reduction in the Wis
ible supply than to any increased supply. High
rates have still further checked exports. The
gain on wheat for the week has been about "a
13sc per bLshel, and on corn about 3s@Tc.
Provisions have advanced some on good
home demand, and decreased receipts of hogs,
with the advancing prices thereof, and the out
look for decreased pack during the season.

being below the supply, Iron continues firm
at the prices previously noted.
There were 257 failures re-
ported to Bradstreet's the p7st week, being
I08 less han for the preceding week; one more
than for the corresponding week of 1888 and
ninety-eight more than for the same week of

New YORK, Feb. 3.-Fhe liability of railroad
companies for damages for Injuries sustained
by persons travelling upon free passes is to be
tested by a pending suit. Emigration Commis-
sioner Ulrich was a passenger on the ill-fated
Albany train which was wrecked in collision at
Spuytenduyvil Jan. 13, 1892. He was seated
in the drawing room car. He was terribly
bruised, lacerated and scalded. When extri-
Gated he was taken to the house of friend and
a physician was called. The injured man was
laid up for three weeks. Recently he brought
suit against the New York Central & Hudson
River Railroad company Tor $4,000 damages,
and the trial was begun yesterday before Judge
Beach and a jury, in the court of common pleas.
Counsel for the defense moved to dismiss the
complaint on the ground that at the time of the
accident Commissioners Ulrich was travelling on
a free pass, on the back of which there was an
agreement that the holder assumed
all risk of injury by acci-
dent or otherwise In opposition
to the motion it was urged that the plaintiff was
not riding entirely free as he had paid for his
seat IN the drawing room car and that, how
ever, lie had never actually read the contacts
on the back Of the pass 1t was claimed that
the acci'ient was caused by the negligence of
the corporation and not By that of employees or
subordinates and that as against such negligence
poss ls no protection. Judge Beach reserved
his decision on the motion to dismiss the COM
plant until Monday morning.
