New YORK, April 30.-The market was de-
cidedly mixed for time this morning,
Western Union, and Union Pacific acting as
if preparing for another downward turn.
About noon sustaining orders made their ap-
pearance and some stocks were marked up
very rapidly. Illinois Central rose per
cent. aud Delaware and Lackawana did even
a trifle better Reading sold at A, Western
Union, at 63, and there was better look to
the market throughout. Prices were not
sustained, however. though the reactions were
not sufficient to carry stocks down to the new
figures of caller hours. Transactions were
heavy in all the leading properties. Jersey
Pacific shows evidences Of being still largely
oversold, Jersey loaning as high as Il for
use, while the others commanded a small
premium. West Shore bonds rose from so
to 81 on a report that the Injunction re-
storing the issue Of s25, 900 bonds had
been dissolved. About $1,000, 900 gold is
already engaged for shipment
Saturday next. The feeling be-
came quite buoyant during the last
nour, though IN the closing moment prices
yielded again, and were somewhat irregular
when business closed. It was stated that
Mr.. Keene failed to redeem his privileges to-
day.
A. NJ. Day says: "As we anticipated, the
advance made its appearance in the market
to-day. During the early hours there was
paratively little doing, but towards noon
the market became active, and the advance
was quite general. West Shore bonds, the
Changers, Western Union, Union Pacific and
Lackawanna were especially active and
strong. There was no abatement in the
strength up to the close, which was firm

Murderers Caught.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, April 30.-Scott
Hill, Brownlow Hill and Charles Spurlock,
the robbers who shot and killed Albert Woods
and fatally wounded A. S. Woods on Monday
night, near st. Albans, in this county, were
caught this afternoon in the mountains and
brought to st. Albans this evening. About
two hundred citizens were in pursuit. The
hotelin ST. Albans where the prisoners are In
confinement is surrounded by men, women
and children, clamoring for the blood of the
prisoners. Great excitement prevails here
and in st. Albans, and there is every indica-
ton that the prisoners will be lynched before
daylight. Detective Burnett and five officers
left here tonight to bring the prisoners to
the jail in this city. No doubt but the right
parties have been caught, as one of the rob-
bers made confession after his arrest.

County Democratic Ticket.
SUPPORT THE NOMINEES.

1t is the duty, to say the least, OF
every Democrat to support the nomi-
nees of his party. If you don't want
the Mexico LEDGER to support a man
you must not put his name on the
Democratic ticket. It is supposed
that the combined wisdom of the
party in convention assembled knows
and will give the party good men to
lead it to victory. Democrats when
they 60 to the polls to vote should
cali for the Democratic ticket. Don't
fold it. Don't deface it. Vote it.
It is no business of any Democrat to
look over the names on the ticket
and see if there is any man on it who
don't belong to his church, or his
club, or did not wear the same col
ored uniform twenty years ago.
Vote the ticket straight. Democrats
never take pencils to the polls with
them. The only way for the party
to succeed is to vote solid.

JUDGE ROBINSON.

Judge f. Robinson comes out OF
the congressional ace as he does
from everything be undertakes, with a
bright record, made the more bril-
Iant and his sterling worth the more
prominent by comparison with other
men under similar circumstances.
Judge Robinson has lost none Of
his prestige in this district by the
unlocked for result. His friends
have neither lost number nor ardor
by what has occurred. Judge Rob
inson, by special request, was present
at the Vapdalia ratification Monday
and made just such a speech as his
friends knew he would make. He
was received with open arms by his
friends, and democrats from the east
end Of the county tell us i've always
did like Judge Robinson; now we
love him." Judge Robinson isl true
democrat. and although if every men,
Der Of the party should, on account
Of jealousy or personal feeling, con-
trnue to fight him, it would not deter
him in his hearty and earnest work
for the good Of his party and its
nominees.
