TRADE ANn coMMERcE.
a Fair Business in Progress When the
Drawbacks Upon Trade Are Considered.


NNDIANAPoLIs, Oct 10.
One of the Oldest and most prosperous of
indianapolis merchants to-day remarked that
there was fair volume of business in progress,
when the many drawbacks upon trade are taken
into consideration For some weeks there had
been no really important change in the bust
ness situation, and there is not likely to be I'M
til after the presidential election. Our business
men do not expect much in the meantime, and
they are not likely to be disappoint-
ed. Grocers continue to have
good trade but collections are little slow.
The sugar market continues firm but devoid of
animation some Eastern operators write very
bullishy predicting that boom is near at hand,
but the trade here do not appear to take much
stock in what they regard as an attempt to bull
the market. Coffee continues much the same as
noted for some time past; there is steady de-
nand for roasted but the green bean continues
dull; the fact is there is but very little of the
latter sold except to Foasters. The poultry, egg
and butter markets are 'slumpy." as John
Blake, editor of the Indianapolis Board of Trade
Price Current expresses it. Fine cheese fairly
active and steady at prices quoted. Green apples
more sought after, but there has been no i'm
provelnent in price as yet Irish potatoes
tinue slow and the supply of sweets appears to
be considerably in excess of present wants.

REVISING THE FIGURES.
Discrepancies Discovered and Cor
rected in the Returns from
New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Complete returns by
election districts from Cattaraugus county
have been repeated in order to verify AS
ISOLATED Press returns. They show that the
county clerk over-estimatad Blaine's plurality
BY 452 and that the press returns and footings
were correct. This will have no effect on the
returns since the clerks returns had not been
accepted as correct.
A revision OF the figures in Westchester
county show a clerical error in the Associated
Press footings. This was caused by the figure
II" being mistaken for the figure 49," the
~ having been blurred. The correction of
this error gives Cleveland 800 more votes than
the previous statement based on election dis
trics. The entire returns by districts will be
gotten from Westchester county if possible to-
day. There are two other questionable returns
In the county which if it were fonnd necessary
to correct them would add to Blaine's total. A
difference Of nearly AL has been found In
Cattaraugus county between the Associated
frees footings and the return of the coun ty
clerk. IT the latter figures stand they will
increase Blaine's plurality by AL, but if not
there will be no change. An effort has been
make to get election districts repeated separ-
ately. The footings of the districts az received
in the Associated Press office are correct and
the only possibility OF error Is in the returns
having been incorrect at frst-namely, too
favorable to Cleveland.
The situation at p. m. is this: Several
errors have been discovered which except as
to one In Westohestsr county very nearly bal
anoe. The indications are growing stronger
that the vote will be nearer even than any
estimates have yet conceded. Many counties
are yet to be revised, however, and the work
will be slow and tedious. 1t is necessarily so
since in every case where discrepancy is dis
covered or doubt is raised, the election district
returns are inquired for, but at this late hour
IL Is not always easy to secure these promptly.

A City in the Hooking Valley in
the Hands of a Mob.

CLEVELAND. o., Nov. 7.-Another riot is in
progress in the Hooking Valley. Murray City
was attacked last night by an armed force and
men supposed to be strikers. The attack was
made in about one hour after the Pinkerton
guards went off duty, giving place to new
company of police. The firing was on the town
and compsny's store from the hills on all sides.
The shots were promptly returned by both
sides. The guard was driven in from the hill
above and had it not been for prompt action
OF the Pinkerton men who came out in time to
reinforce the police, the hoppers would un-
donbtsdly have been burned. Explosives
were thrown from the hills which burst In the
town with noise that shook the earth. After
about an hours fighting, squad of Pinker-
toms men fianked the attacking party and
drove them off. The rocks and leaves in sew
eral places on the hills we're found spattered
with blood, showing that the strikers had not
all escaped unhurt. The south side of the
companys store bears marks of one hundred
bullets. Several Of the company's houses were
riddled and windows were broken over the
town.
President Greene of the Columbus Hooking
Valley and Toledo railroad, has requested Gov.
aoadly to order out the militia on account OF
the burning of bridges in Hooking county.
Gov. Hoadly is in Cincinnati and the call has
not been answered.

THE SITUATION.

The result of the election ia still in doubt
Ii we could secure 1t to the Republicans by
Claiming IL big type that they had won, we
would gladly DO it. But we do not think that
would do any good how. The thing to Co
is to find cut what vas the result of Tuesdays
election, and We have given our readers every
scrap OF information we have liberty to use
that throws light on this subject, and shall
continue doing SO until it is decided The
news this morning is meagre. During the day
Mr.. Blaine received several dispatches from
New York OF favorable character and ia
still confident of his election. The Republi-
can National and State Committees are pre.
sumed to abide by their Judgment expressed
oa Thursday night, but make no new srate-
ment except that the former declares in
response TO the Democrats that it seeks only
fair play and justice. Whitelaw Reid yester-
dag afternoon sent despatch to Washington,
claiming Mr.. Blaine'a election by 400 majority.
Mr. Jay Gould, believing Gov. Cleveland to
be elected has sent him congratu-
latcry despatch. The Associated Press
has made a careful revision and veri-
fcation of its returns by districts,
and the showing of the new footings is ma
jofity Of 1,460 for Coy. Cleveland with eigh-
teen districts not included, which gave Gar
field less than 800. Tho Albany Evening
Journal, Republican paper, comedies the
election OF Cleveland. The Democratic Ma.
tional Committee has issued an absurd in
flsmstcry address calling upon the people to
insist that Cleveland is elected whatever the
lawful canvass may show. Notwithstanding
all adverse reports, Republicans will remem-
bsr that their National Committee, the New
York State Committee, the Tribune, and
thousands of leading Republicans are conf
dent of Mr.. Blaine's election. This conf

Death Of the English Postmaster
General.

The Rt. Hon. Henry Fawcett, Postmaster
General OF England, Is dead. For many wear.
Professor Fawcett was one of the most strik-
ing figures in public life. The story Of the
circumstance under which his sight was lost
has long been familiar romance in English
households. Professor Fawcstt was born in
1888 near Salisbury, and his parents still live.
His father had been draper, and though not
wealthy had tie means to secure for Henry
the best education. He entered at Trinity
Hall, Cambridge, at an early age, and won popu
larlty among his fellOw-students by his GOOD
nature and interest in athletic sports no less
than the esteem of professors by his yiporous
nteingence and studious habits. He gradu-
ated In 1856 with high mathematical honors
and was made Fellow of Trinity Hall. His
iather had arranged for the entrance Of his
son on the profession OF law, and he entered
the Middle Temple. But one day when he
was out shooting with his father, the gun Of
the latter went off as he was getting over
stlle, and single shot put out one Of the
young mans eyes. The other eye was at once
affected, and Henry Fawcett speedily became
stone blind. Still he completed his law studies
ana was called to the bar in 1862, but was uE-
able to follow that profession. He at once a..
voted himself to the study Of political econ
omy and politics. Though he had been brou 0ht
up a Tory, he had for some time become a
Liberal, or even Radical, and enjoyed the
friendship OF John Stuart Mill, Professor
OaiInes and other leading economists. In the
Political Economy Club, of which Mill was
the centre, Fawcett was also a centre as the
rising man whose power of public speaking
was to ditfuse the views of the more secluded
thinkers His afiiotion drew to him many
friendly hearts at political meetings. But he
had resolved to master the science Of POLITICAL
economy, and TO rest his claims to public atten-
tion on his contributions to that but it was
only after his manual Of political economy
and other writings had made their impression
on the minds of the country, that he was
made professor of political economy st Cam
Driage. Thls position he continued to hold
while sitting in Parliament. He unsuccess-
fully contested Southwark in 1857, the borough
oi cambridge in 1862, and Brighton in 1854;
was returned for the last mentioned in 1854
and was re-slected in 1858. He was upseated
at Brighton in 1874 aud was elected for Hack
ney In April OF the same year. He was made
Postmaster General of England some years
ago and introduced many reforms in the
British postal service.
