STATE OF TRADE.

The course OF trade has been more uniform
and even, with m re steadiness Of value, but
With less magnitude Of volume. Breadstuifs
have had frequent intervals Of strength, but,
not reaching the g.ound lost last week, they
even cloee lower than ut the end OF last week.
Provtsions AID live sock have been active
and advancing, reaching the highest prices of
the season.
There is Q surprisiueiV strong development
Of facts conducive to high views Of values. for
hog products. The packing in tue west fell
OF in this single week 17S,0Oo hogs below the
number packed in the corresponding week OF
last year. and packers are beginning to dis
cuss . prospective total at the end Of March
20 per cent. less than IN the last season Of
winter packing. There is . remarkably small
run Of hogs to market even In the states with
the best corn crols aud the trade statisticiaus

able, and the gains shown probably arose
from increased resorts to depository privileges
by National banks, o view which derives color
from the fact that the government bonds used
for that purpose Rave largely advanced this
week.
Money has been hrm in the centers without

MURDER IN MINERAL POINT.
Mark Terrill, Crazed with Liz.
uor, Kills Henry Wesley.
The Victim a Negro, and Also
intoxicated at the time

Mineral Points reputation for
tragedies is not great, and when
one does occur within its limits it
shocks the community from center
to circumference. Such was the
condition of our city upon the
announcement that Mark Terrill,
proprietor of the City Hotel, had
shot and killed in his bar room, one
Henry Wesley, a colored resident
of this place. 1t happened about
lI:15 o'clock last Saturday night.
Both men were under the influence
.of liquor, yet there is no evidence
but that they were on friendly
terms. In the room at the time u
the shooting were Henry Faul, Of
Linden, "Bill" Hoskin, a farm Ia.
borer of the vicinity of Mineral
Point, and George McSherry and
Joseph McCabe employees of the
hotel. Three shots from a bulldog
revolver in the hands of Terrill,
who had stepped into an adjoining
room for a minute or two, were dis
charged so suddenly and without
warning upon his return to the bar
room, that all present were help
less and dazed with fear. The
third shot did the fatal work,
striking Wesley just above the
inner corner of the right eye. He
dropped instantly, and was soon
dead, without murmer or struggle.
A physician and officers were at the
scene in a short time, and Terrill
placed under arrest.
Sunday morning a post mortem
examination and inquest were had,
the coroner's jury rendering a YER
dict Of willful murder. On Monday
was held a preliminary examina-
ton before justice of the peace,
John w. Horn, who, from the
testimony there given, rendered a
verdict of murder in the second
degree. Terrill was therefore turned
over to Deputy Sheriff Sims, who
conveyed him to the county Jail at
Dodgeville, to await the decision of
a higher judicial tribunal.
Wesley's remains were buried in
Graceland Cemetery Sunday after
noon. By a surgical examination the
bullet was found about y inches
from the place of entrance. The
brain had not been touched.

Congressional Dist. Convention.
The third congressional district
Republican convention for the
selection of two delegates and two
alternates to represent the district
in the Chicago convention, held at
Dodgeyille yesterday, was entirely
harmonious, and It's action can but
give entire satisfaction. From the
first it was conceded that the dele
gates should be selected from Grant
and Lafayette provided the repre-
sentatives from those counties
respectively were united in favor of
suitable gentlemen. For Lafayette
county, Judge Osborne presented
the name of j. g. Monahan, the
genial editor Of the Darlington
Republican, and for Grant county
Mr.. Jas. Murphy named Hon. VIM.
E. Carter, the well-known and
talented lawyer of PlatteyiIle.
Each was unanimously elected by
acolamation, and each, on being
called out emphatically declared his
preference for the nomination for
President to be Jeremiah NJ. Rusk.
Each has a positive conviction that
Gov. Rusk is the most available
candidate yet named; has strong
faith that he can and may be nom
mated, and firm determination to
exhaust every honorable means to
accomplish that desirable result.
Further, these delegates, pre-eminent
desire, as expressed by themselves
is, to see the strongest and best man
nominated, and that man, next to
Rusk, they believe now to be
Walter Q. Gresham.
Mr.. II. G. Putnam, Of Green coun.
ty, was elected alternate for Mr.
Monahan, and Hon. Jas. Speusley
of Iowa county, alternate for Mr.
Carter, each unanimously by ac.
clamation.
After adopting resolution
strongly endorsing Gov. Rusk, and
pledging him the hearty support oi
the delegates chosen, the convention
ndinnrnnl
