News from Evansville concerning Capt.
Moore, received here yesterday afternoon,
was to the effect that he died Thursday
morning at 6 80 o'clock, or about fifteen
minutes after reaching home. He was met
at ShawneetOwn by his family who accom-
panied him home. He did not regain con.
seriousness before his death, but lay in a
stupor from the time the Fowler left
Mound City until the end. Mr.. Ford re-
grets very much that he was not at home
when the Capt. was first stricken and kept
him here, believing that the removal SO soon
after the stroke fastened the Capt's death.

sojourned several days IN st. Louis and he
says there is general compliant among the
business men there of the dullness of the
times. He was in the great Famous cloth
ing house the day before leaving and there
were not half dozen customers IN the
whole mammoth establishment. But ct
Louis is no exception to the rule, Every
large city in the country is likewise afflict-
ed, and small ones, too, as is evident from
letters received by business men here from
friends in various parts of the country.
One of the newly elected alderman
speaking to several friends in down town
saloon day or two ago stated in the course
of his rather excited remarks, with eyery
evidence of the profoundest indipnation
that, though he had lived in this city for
thirty-tive years, he had never before been
"approached" as he had been approached
