LEoNARDrOwN. Mn, April 2S.-John b
BiscOe, Colored. was executed here for the
murder of Captain r. z. Dixon, on the
Potomac river, at the close of August, 1886.
The execution was private, as under the
law only twenty persons are permitted to
be present
The murder of which Biscoe was twice
convicted, after two trials. was committed
on the Potomac river, near the mouth Of
MachOdoc creek, August 29 1886. Captain
Dixon was sailing the slOop Mary J, with
Biscoe as a hand, and they were the only
people on the boat. The sloop left Wash
ington on the morning of August q, and
nothing was heard of her until Sun
day morning, August 30, when a gentle
man discovered the boat sailing from the
Virginia shore to near the mouth OF Brl-
tons Bay, in st. Marcus county. The
sloop was abandoned by a man and left
with sailing Tapping. This attracted the
attention of this gentleman and he also OBJ
served that the boat was drifting about.
Later in the day some gentlemen boarded
the boat and found from the quantities Of
blood about the decks and in the cabin,
evidence of murder.
On the Tuesday following August g.
the body of Captain Dixon was found on
the Virginia shore of the Potomac river,
Just outside of Machodoc creek. Biscoe
was arrested on the steamer Thompson. at
Leonardtown wharf, on the Wednesday
night after the murder Last February
Biscoe made full confession, which to-day
is made public. He claimed that Captain
Dixon had repeatedly threatened his life,
and that on the night of the murder the
captain attacked him with a carving knife,
and that in self defense he struck the cap
tain over the head with stick and knocked
him to tho floor of tho cabin seDSelpss and
before he could recover he took the body
and threw it overheard. Biscoe's claim
that he committed the murder in self de-
fense was not sustained by the evidence.
and he was tried and found guilty of muir
der in the first degree. Biscoe was at
tended to the last by Fathers Jenkins and
Wallace, of the Catholic Church.

JEFrERsoNvILLE, IND, April 2s.-Walter
SEWERS, twenty one year man, and
Charles Davis, colored, two-year man,
were almost burned to death at the south
ern prison. SEWERS and Davis are cupola
tenders in the foundry. At pouring off
time the tamping bar became chilled and
could not be removed from the aperture
through which the molten iron flows. The
only remedy was to knock out the bottom,
and this being done, the molten iron, 10000
pounds or more, fell with splash. The
clothing of the two tenders, who had not
retired proper distance, became ignited
from some OF the iron falling upon them,
and in an instant they were in flames.
They ran like wild men through the yards,
and it was with great difficulty that they
were caught and the flames extinguished.
Both are burnt from head to foot and will,
it is thought die.

Is the Condition of Business and Trade
as shown by X. G. Dun & Co.'S. Week
ly Trade Review.
New YoRK, April 2s.-R G. Dun d Cos.
weekly review of trade will say: The situa-
tion is unusually confused. Advancing
markets for stocks and grain contradict
each other. The western reports as TO prob
able crops are more definitely unfavorable,
but the buying of stocks, no longer entire
ly by professionals, continues as il much
larger traffic for the future was assured.
Nearly all recent railroad reports have
shown gains in gross earnings though the
Pennsylvania Western lines show losses
and the Reading Coal Company reports a
decrease Of over $4,000 for March, and
81. 800, 900 in three months in net earnings.
The Western roads show peaceable dis
position, and exchanges at Western cities
generally indicate larger volume OF busi-
ness, while the large Eastern cities, Gin
cinnati, Cleveland and New Orleans, all re-
port smaller ciearings than last year.
Until within the past year or two, it has
always happened that shrinkage in trans
actions at the eastern centres was soon fol-
lowed by decreasing trade elsewhere. But
there are many who believe that q new
state of things come in that respect
The reports of business transacted are by
no means uniformly favorable. At Phila-
delphia there is no decided activity, but
trade is thought to be improving at Balti-
more and Charleston. AT Savannah there
Is lack of activity, and at New Orleans the
movement is light. Detroit and Milwaukee
report quiet in trade, but at most other
Western points some improvement is
noted. Collections are better at St. Paul
and Kansas City. but slow or unsatisfac-
tory at points in Ohio, Michigan and Wis
cOnSin.
There is prospect that the output of iron
will now improve, though prices do not
1t becomes more clear that the prevailing
tendency of prices and of wages is toward
lower level, though actual or apprehend-
ed scarcity of farm products affects prices
in some speculative markets
The advance in these markets arrested
exports to a marked extent in March. But
for large transfers of foreign capital TO this
side, gold exports would doubtless have
occurred in considerable amount The
movement in April has been of similar
character, but the rate Of exchange has
stitfened 50 that an outward movement of
specie might commerce. ere long. The
Treasury has succeeded in purchasing
shout s., ,0O0, 900 of bonds but offerings at
current prices gaOw scanty, and meanwhile
the money market stands in no present
need of increased supplies.
Business failures during the last seven
days number for the United States 1873, for
Canada 80, total 223 failures. For the cor
responding week of last year the figures
were 19I. l64 being in the United States and

NOT READY TO UNITE.
The Southern Presbytery Cannot See Their
Way Clear to n Union With the North
srn Church-The Negro in the Way.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 2S.-The Presby-
terry of Louisville has adopted the following
concerning the union of the northern and
southern churches;
In. reference TO the question of union be-
tween the Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America and the Presby-
terian Church in the United States COM
monty designated as the northern and
southern Presby terian churches, the Pres
bytery of Louisville, now in session, ex-
presses the following judgment, viz.
Until our northern brethren can see their
way clear to adopt the policy of organizing
the colored people of the northern States
into separate churches, presbyterres and
synods of their own; and until there shall
bea clearer and fuller understanding
brought to bear upon the minds of many Of
our people in reference to their interpreta-
ton and application of those points OF our
common ecclesiastical that now deal with
secular and political questions We judge
that the quiet, peace and prosperity of both
churches will be best secured by ceasing to
sgitate or prosecute tine question of organic
union, at least for the present
We have reached this judgment from
opinions expressed among ourselves, as
well as opinions and judgments that come
to us through various sources from differ
ent parts of our Southern church. What
ever, therefore, may be the individual
views, feelings and desires Of some of the
members of this Presbytery, in regard to
the great question of organic unity, yet, for
the sake OF harmony, and to await the un-
foldings of Gods providence in the future,
We do ell now join in the above-expressed
Judgment. And, while expressing our
selves thus. We. at the same time, affirm
that We cherish toward our Northern
brethren the most kind and fraternal feel
ings, We admire their learning and
ability, acknowledge their piety, zeal and
enterprise in preaching and extending the
spread and triumphs of the Gospel; COM
mend their interests in and lsbors for the
intellectual and spiritual advancement of
Southern colored people; believe they are
of like faith and order with ourselves, and
do therefore most heartily rejoice in their
growing power aud prosperity. Their
standards of doctrine and church order are
our standards. whatever differences Of
views may obtain between them and US in
reference to the exact Interpretation of .
few of the points contained in these.
Hence then success everywhere is, in part
at least our success We are one in Q true
scriptural sense, even in the absence Of q
visible Of accomplished organic union.

The fits and start,-using these words in
thIir literal meaning-Of the nervous peO
pie often strika the behoider as ludicrous
L Ie nerves OF hearing of such unfortunates
are painfully acute. and impinged by unex-
pected noises, lead them sometimes to per
form antics worthy of jumping jack. At
the root of nervousness. in most Instances,
is nonassimilation of the food, and conse-
quently innutriti0n of the nerves as of the
other tissues of the body. This prolonged
is of course, productive of serious nervous
disease. The remedy Is Hostetter's StOm
ach Bitters, that invigorates the stomach
and enables it to perform its function,
properly. Soon after commencing courss
of 1t, it will be found that the nerves grow
more tranquil by day, nightly repose be
comes less interrupted, and appetite mort
vigorous and satisfying. These are the in
itial indications, followed by the complet.
restoration of nervous vigOr. The Bitters
also cure fever and ague, liver complaint
and cOnstip alton.

THE NEED OF EDUCATION.
Mr. Powderly speaks on "The Special
all

PHILADELPHIA, April 2s.-In the Journal
OF United Labor. to he issued on Saturday,
Mr.. Powderly, speaking ON the Special
Call, will say:
The ricn need education. the middle
class need it and the poor require it, so
that all may know that this nation was not
built up by any one class; that it is not de-
pending on one class, and that it will not
be ruled by class The people must be
taught what their political rights are; they
must be taught that boodlers and bribers
are traitors. they must be taught to watch
the politician after his election as well as
before it; they must be taught that the
lands of the Nation belong 10 the people of
the Nation, and not to thieves who were
smart enough to steal them; they must be
taught that the rule of the corporation
would come beneath the rule of the people.
