JOSEPH HOWARD & co.'s ANNUAL To-
BACGC REPORT.
L1vERpooL. .Iannnry |.

LIVERPOOL, January l. 1885,
IN a retrospect of the past year we observe
that the British markets for North America
tobacco have run II fairly even course; the
changes in tone and prices effected have been
gradual, except the evanescent influence of
the reports of contingent ana actual injury
to the growing crops; strong reports came
about the Virginia and Moth Carolina crops
The transactions during the earlier months
of the year were the most satisfactory to sell
lers; subsequently the improved prospects of
supplies, particularly of Western strips, pro-
duced increased timidity on thcpart of buyers
and operations continued restricted. The
sampling of the new i'm port, which was offer
ed on the market somewhat earlier than
usual failed TO materially relieve the prevail
ing dullress which has continued. Stocks
have increased, but the better grades of strips
and leaf are not abundant, and command full
prices.
During the past month business has been of
an ordinary routine, and with one or two
exceptions of retail character. Manufac-
turers generally have continued very eau
tiouS and have manifested "A diSlnclination
TO operate beyond immediate requirements.
and the aggregate sales for December are
estimated at less than an average.
AS compared with year ago there is some
decline in quotations. attributed in part TO
/ the inferior character of the import, and yet
according to the most recent accounts this
will compare favorably with what is expected
to come this year. a year ago filler strips
were relatively high, which appears TO have
caused diminished consumption of this
class. Recently values have been steady, and
the low prices expected by some English
manufacturers are not likely 20 be realized.
Turning to the sources of supply in the
United States, we observe that a marked fta-
ture IN the retrospect of the past year was the
unusual difference In the weather I'm different
localities while tho-erop was growing, and in
some districts, according TO general accounts
a fairly good crop has been produced, but
generally the crop is said 10 be poor and mod
crate in quantity, and a much less proportion
of II is hurley than in recent years. Ii is rather
early to fully decide the question OF quality
and quantity, but of what Is known OF IL and
of current prices In the country districts and
in the Western markets, it is evident thai
steamers need 20 he cautious in attempting
again this season to compete with those who
buy for the Regies and for the very large home
consumption.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
The Victim Unidentified and the Perpetra.
tor Unknown.
Nashville Union.

La'e yesterday afternoon arumor was
circulated in the city that the arm of
woman, evidently severed above the ell
bow, had been found under the trestle
on Beleville street, in the thirteenth
district. A Union reporter at once
started on an Investigation tour, but no
one in the designated neighborhood
knew anything concerning it. The
fact was learned afterward that the dis
covery was made by Eugene Holt, a
machinist at the Chattanooga shops, but
when the reporter reached that place
the man had quit work for the night.
The young man, in company with
several others, returned to the spot
where he had found the hand in the
morning, determined to make further
investigation. On the north side of the
railroad, where the latter is crossed by
Belleville street, is Il large field belong
ing to Mr.. James Mason and enclosed
by rock fence. The wall extends
about six yards along Belleville street,
and at about midway a stream OF water
passes under it and crosses the street,
Owing to the recent rain and snow, the
stream was swollen and was difficult to
ford without getting the feet wet, Holt,
who lives in North Nashville, passes this
place every morning when going to
work, and he says that to avoid the mud
he gets up on the fence and walks on
the wall for some distance; on this oc.
casion he stumbled on loose rock, and
lonsing his balance, jumped to the in,

HOW IT CAME THERE.

Various theories have been advanced
as to how the mutilated remains came
to be inferred in such place, but time
can alone solve the problem. Some
were inclined to think that it was a sub
ject from some Of the medical colleges,
but this theory was put to flight upon
medical examination, which proved
that the severing OF the limbs was not
done for the purpose of dissection.
That the man was murdered is beyond
question; that his body was cut to
pieces for the purpose of being easily
handled Is evident, MS Il small piece OF
rope was fastened around one of the
wrists, as though for the purpose OF
dragging the body; that the body was
carried to the place and buried in such
Il manner rs would hide the crime, no
one can doubt. But who the unfortu-
nate victim is, by whom and Tor what
purpose he was murdered, and the place
where the tragedy was enacted Is some
thing that future developments must
determine. A reasonable theory is that
he was some stranger from the country,
who, during the holidays, came into
the city, and, going into some OF the
low dives on MclemOre, Spruce or
Crawford street, was killed, and the
body buried before the recent snow.

that the Aldermen when their turn comes to

one expected when the noted manipulation OF
surface lines was put upon the stand that he
wonld admit wrongdoing or say that the in
tegrity of our City Fathers was anything less
than iron clad but the public did not look for
a complete absence of knowledge of almost
everything connected with the building Of the
Broadway road. If the committee had gone
out into the street and captured the first citi-
zen they met they would probably have sue
ceeded in getting more definite statements
from him concerning the history OF this line,
than they have SO far extracted from the man
who projected it, who induced the Aldermen to
grant the franchise, and who carried through
the whole enterprise from start to finish. Inc
witness remarked that the examining counsel
was much better at figures than he was. In
fact no one could be worse than Mr.. Sharp Is,
if his statements are to be accepted.
No man ever known tossed about bank
checks and big rolls of bills with rnore sceming g
unconcern as TO what he got for the money. lie
cannot tell to whom he gave checks for
$l55, 900, for $4,000, for $4,000 and other
sums nearly as large. He has forgotten what
he gave them for, if he ever knew. The big
amounts raised by the sale of the Broadway
bonds were scattered IN various directions with
as little thought on Mr.. Sharp's part as to the
persous enriched by them, or the services for
which they were paid, as if he had been drop
ping pennies into the hat of blind beggar.
But really Mr.. Sharp forgets too much. He
ought to remember little something here and
there. In that case his fellow citizens might
be left in some doubt whether he did not oc-
