WHICH WAS DIFlCTED7
Harvey Bound oveF-The Detective and His Easily
Dipped Victim Pace to Face.

Harvey Bound over-Ths Detective and His Easily
Dipped Victim Pace to Face.
The preliminary trial of Bert Har-
vey, charged with stealing Hansford
Robinson's horses last Saturday night,
was held before Judge Evans yesterday.
Harvey is young man probably %
years of age, rather tall and well built
and looks anything but thief. He
eyed his accuser. Kidwell, like hawk
yesterday, and judging by his looks,
would like to have got his hands on
him for few minutes.
Sheriffs WoFster and Robinson were
sworn and testified TO the facts hereto
fore published, and further that Robin
son had found the horses to
be his, Kidwell, the detec-
tive was then sworn and
told his story in a very
straightforward manner. Prosecu-
ton was discussed as against him be-
fore he was sworn. After his ex-
animation, the defendant was allowed
to question him which he did in very
close manner, reminding the witness
at times that he was very fOrgetful.
The defendant was not called to the
stand nor was any evidence offered by
the defense, but from Harvey's ques-
tioning it could be seen that he had a
story as plausible almost as the detec-
tives. Each claimed that the other
logged him until he was rather forced
into the act. Kidwell claims that he
was trapping Harvey, and the latter
in turn says that the formers idea
as conveyed to him was TO ride
the horses a day or two looking for
work. and then let them go. Kidwelf
owned to stealing watermelons and
corn on the way.
at the conclusion the judge an
nounced that from the evidence he
would be compelled to hold defendant
Harvey in the sum of $500 to answer
to the next term of court. On failure
to give bond he was committed TO jail.

in the stock market and it is not inn
possible that the presidents message
looking toward retaliation may incline
some foreigners to withdraw capital
or realize profits in the impression that
international relations may be dis
turbed. Any considerable return Of
foreign capital placed here would tend
strongly TO change the outlook. The
treasury has been putting out money
more freely, holding s., JOG, 600 less
than week ago and the bank reserve
at New York is still unusually large.
At the same time reports of agreement
on Thursday between warning western
roads and the improving crop prospects
tend to help the market for stocks.
But the increase in the number of
failures continues. For four weeks
past the record covers 40 against 500

with total of 2I9 last week and 233

the corresponding week of last year the

ARMSTRONG PATERSON.

The following account is from our
Reading correspondent. The contract
ing parties are very we'll known to
many in this city:
On Thursday evening, August 23d,
our village was overtaken with pleas
ant surprise. At the home of the
brides parents. Mr.. Frank Armstrong
and Miss Ora Patterson were united in
marriage. Rev. Scott of Americas, as
sisted by the Methodist pastor of this
place, performed the ceremony. The
affair had not been nOised abroad, but
was made. as modest and unassuming
as good taste would allow. A few of
their most intimate friends were pres
ent. The ceremony was short and i'm
pressive After a few tears, which,
somehow. will start when we see dear
ones about to leave the home of their
childhood. which were soon dashed
aside and joy reigned supreme. A
splendid repast was then served, in
which all the delicacies fOrethought
could have provided appeared. Frank
is tile agent at this station, which posi-
ton he has held for several years. Ora
is IA young lady much esteemed in the
community. Many friends feel espe-
clal interest in them because of long
and valued acquaintance and wish
them the fullness of joy, helpfulneSs
of love, and many years in their double
life

Dun's Weekly Review.

NEW YORK. Aug. pr. G. Dun 81
Co., reports that better feeling grows
in every direction. Crop prospects i'm
fidence and dealers, no longer operating
against full market, appreciate the
difference. The present state of bust
ness is clearly encouraging, larger in
volume than a year ago, and growing
more confident i'll tone. Extensive re-
ports within the week strengthen the
belief that the corn and oats crops will
be large. The yield of wheat isAot be-
low recent estimates and the yield OF
cotton is better than the trade has ex-
pected. The injury to corn proves
really serious in Southern Kansas, but
over the greater part of the corn grow
ing area the promise is remarkably
good. Oats have been seriously dam
aged in some quarters. and yet the ag
gregate yield is likely TO prove the
largest on record.
The iron trade does not brighten as
was expected, though prices area little
stronger at Pittsburg. About the en-
tire output of BeSsmer ore has been
sold at Cleveland and in eastern mar
kets. The pressure to sell Southern
iron has lessened, yet Tennessee MOL is
still offered at $3.50. Philadelphia
notes lack of buoyancy; bar iron con-
tinues Irregular in price and structural
iron dull and the outlook in steel rails
is considered gloomy, quotations being
$3.50 to 5000 at the east with sales at
the west bringing only S3l.25.
at Duluth the coal trade is phenOm-
inally active and an advance in price is
under consideration. For the first
time in eight years the leather dealers
are no longer selling on a declining
market.
In the wool trade a better feeling is
seen, with larger sales at Boston and
Philadelphia, and in some grades bet
ter prices.
Money is firmer at many points, with
an increasing demand. but scarcely
anywhere is there u complaint of close
ness, and collections do not seem more
backward than is usual at this season.
In the dry goods trade an improve
ment is especially noted in Chicago and
here full average business in cottons
is in progress, with a somewhat more
satisfactory movement in WoOlens, es-
