The Same Report of Dull and Uninteresting
Market.

-.- INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 80.
The markets continue lifeless and uninterest-
ing. There is some business in all branches, of
course but not such as to satisfy dealers. Gro
eeries and dry goods are steady but dull Prod
uce is pretty active, but butter is weakening by
reason of the increased supply. Eggs are still
scarce. Poultry is in excessive supply and weak
at quotations.
There is nothing doing yet in provisions.
Packers are all ready to begin operations, but
will not open till about the second week in No

be plentiful and cheap Great confidence is felt
in the fattening qualities of the new corn, one
bushAs of which is believed to be equal to two of
the old crOn.

TAX DISCOUNT. The Campaign calls at

lCOMMUSICATED

CLIFTON STATION, Fairfax county, Va,
| April 2lst.-Much surprise is expressed that
the railroad officials feel so little interest
| in US, and so sadly neglect their own inter
est as to still refuse to build depot for
| freight at Clifton.
The want of such a convenience with other
facilities and accommodations as this Sec
ton richly deserves, is great drawback to
its more rapid development But for the
courtesy of L. Makely, esq, passengers
would have no place to go to wait for the
trains, and freight and express matter would
have no shelter.
Persons with grain to ship, or other bulky
freight, have to depend upon such portable
depots (box cars) as are occasionally left on
the side track, they being moved up and
down the side track by every passing train,
so when load of freight arrives the strength
of our metropolis is called into requisition to
push said depot in position to receive the
freight.
Our honorable member of Congress and
railroad president is kept very busy, we
know, but still we think he might do some
thing to hush our eternal whining. Al
any rate he has promised to visit the scene
of our troubles, and our side boards Law
spread for his reception, with hope through
long INDUCED, still Pickering bright as the
taper burns low.
Clifton Station is we'll known to be one
of the most business and enterprising sta
tions on the road, with Makely & Ford az
its leading merchants, besides other objects
of enterprise, all doing well, and the country
for miles around offering inducements to
immigrants with capital such as is rarely
found in any county. For one to satisfy
himself of the natural good qualities of the
soil, though apparently poor at fist sight, he
has only to visit the farm of Judge Fullerton,
near here, and of others who have spent far
less money. The former will be found suf.
6cient to satisfy the most skeptical that with
labor, skill and money this whole country
can likewise be made to bloom as rose,
since no prettier or more productive farm
can be found in the State.
Our people are deeply interested in the
veal of Alexandria, and insist on recogniz-
ing, in what some would irreverently term
the last agonies of her death struggle, the
ushering in of glorious existence, the
rising sun of new day. Her interests are
ours, and vice versa, and long may they
thus mutually coincide, and the railroad
magnaCeS OF Inc one, ANU Cne SIuIuy yOe-
men of the other look with confidence to

that Alexandria should feel proud of her
Mayor, which his return to that Office, in
the face of so valiant an opponent, amply
attests but aside from the praise due him
as an official and business man, which all
unite in bestowing, am constrained to add
that more skiful gunner cannot be found
on land or water, nor one more generous in
his game among epicurean

Parties from the ueighborhood of Yellow

Parties from the neighborhood of Yellow
Branch, Campbell county, state that negro
named Jesse Slaughter has been arrested
and imprisoned in Jail, charged with MUIR
der. In March, 1882, the dead body of a
young colored woman named Eddie Moor
man was found in thicket near Yellow
Branch, with the throat cut and two bullet
holes in the head. A negro named Jesse
Slaughter, who lived on the same farm, was
arrested upon strong suspicion, but the evil
dence against him being insufficient, he was
released. While a young man was hunting
in the neighborhood few days ago he dis
covered pair of overalls covered with
blood concealed under a log. Upon calling
the attention Of others to the overalls, sew

Slaughter. 1t is stated that at the time the
murder was committed Slaughter who had
been intimate with the mother of the girl,
had quarrelcd with her and threatened her
