FOREIGN DRY GOODS.

MANCHESTER. Feb. 13-The Guardian, in
its commercial article says: Some depart
ments have slightly weakened. Occasion
ally sellers are willing to accept offers that
were impracticable on Friday. Usually
shirtings and other staples which are
we'll sold are steady, as are also
such goods which did not partake of
the recent advances. There is little new
inquiry for India, but it is mostly i'm
practicable. India merchants state that
the high rate of discount prevailing
in that dependency seriously int erferes
with the distribution OF goods at a season
when there ought to be much activity.
There is some demand for China staples
at nearly regular prices, and some of 1t Is
likely to be executed. The smaller foreign
markets are taking moderate supplies.
Some home houses are buying steadily,
titles The home demand, while good, is
especially slow. Some sellers of good
printers report fair repetition of
orders for the spring trade, while
others have had less than usual.
Manufacturers of most kids continue to
complain of the absence of a profitable
margin. Many looms are kept idle. Yarn
is quiet There is little inquiry for export.
There are some China orders at low limits,
but the demand from India and the con-
tinent is poor. Home manufacturers are
not disposed to buy beyond their strict re-
quirements, though it is possible for them
to sometimes purchase at easier rates than
on Friday.
There is no little progress in the cloth
departments. yet there are few signs of
anxiety to sell. India shirtings are steady
and well under contract. Jacconets are
sometimes offered at easier rates China
shirtings and sheetings are unaltered, al
though producers are ready sellers at Fri
days rates In some instances they would
welcome fresh orders. Best printers are
firm, with moderate business in some
directions. Common are unchanged and
are moving slowly. Home buyers pur-
chase cautiously, though steadily, and
altogether are doing little.

FEARFUL FATE OF THREE CHILDREN

MARTINsvILLE, Va, Feb IA strange
story comes from the farm of George T.
Townes. about five miles from town. A
negro woman left her two children locked
up in her cabin, and taking with her an
infant in her arms, went to Mr.. Iownes'
house TO do washing While at her WORK
She looked over the hill and saw her cabin
on fire. Approaching the danger in which
her two children were thus placed, she left
her infant playing on the ground and
rushed to the burning building. She was
too late. The two children were burned TO
death. Returning to the place where she
had left her infant the mother was horri-
fed To find that in in her absence two hogs
attacked the helpless child and had almost
literally eaten il up.

LIE CARON CONTRADICTED.

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 1.-THE testimony
of LIE Caron before the Parnell commits
sion continues to be contradicted from all
parts of the west. LIE Caron swore yester-
day concerning the trial of Alexander
Sullivan for murder that Frank Agnew
was then sheriff of Chicago and ''fixed' a
jury to secure Mr. Sullivan's acquital.
Frank Agnew's term ended December l,
1876 He was succeeded by Charles
Kern, well known and respected
German-American, during whose term OF
office the second trial occurred. That trial
began in February and ended in March.
1877. At the first trial in October, 1876
when the jury disagreed, standing eleven
for acquittal and one for the lightest SEN
tence. Mr.. Agpew was sheriff, but even
then he had nothing whatever to do with
the election of the jury because Charles
II. Reen. then state attorney, moved that
the selection OF the special venlre be taken
out of the sheriff's hands. The motion was
granted as matter of course and a Ger
man bailiff was appointed who summoned
the jury. There was only one lrishman
and Catholic on the jury. At the second
trial-months after Agnew's retirement
from otfice-the bailiffs were agreed upon
by States Attorney Mills and Judge
Moran, representing the state and the
defense. There was no Irishman and
no Catholic on that jury and il voted for
acquittal on the first ballot.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-The Star this
evening says Henry LIE Caron, the British
spy who has been doing so much swearing
in the Parnell investigation, has war

the war records of the war department.

AN APPEAL FROM BLACKS.
Colored Men, in Conference, Ask a Good
Amendment for Acknowledgement

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb 14-An important
conference of colored men was held here
today 1t gathered at the instance of
Prof. J. N. Langston. Seven states were
represented by delegates present-South
Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee,
Kentucky. Florida and Missouri. The
conference was held with closed doors and
an address TO General Harrison was form
ulated.
In substance it is as follows: ''The IN
dersigred would assure you that they are
legal members of the Republican party
that they reside in states several of which
are overwhelmingly Republican, and upon
a fair election would give their respective
electoral votes to such party by large ma
jorities. Such, however, are the undue
influences and frauds brought to bear
against the great body of voters
Of these states that the de-
sires of the Republican masses
che fifteenth amendment should be main
gained with fairness and vigor and that
ample protection through federal agency
should be given every citizen. We cannot
doubt that you agree with Us in such
opinion and that you desire that such OBJ
ject shall be accomplished in the interest
of the 1000, 900 of American citizens who
tOuRy III Cle SOuIO are pTdCllCdllg ulSLtdH-
chised and whose cause we represent and
plead In view of our present and pros
pectiye condition under your administra-
tion of the government we are profoundly
interested in the construction OF your cabi-
net so far certainly and especially as con-
Germs the attorney eeaeralship Thereof. We
offer you the name OF no man for such
position: such a course would, we appre-
bend, be unbecoming. We ask simply
Tat a PERSON be appointed to such
position whose cordial acceptance
of the great American doctrine as respects
citizenship and the ballot for the hum
blest of our citizens, however formerly
slaves and outcasts. would lead him to
search urgently and thoroughly for the
law in such behalf uninflunced and warn
ed in Judgment against our cause by rea-
son of illfounded, though strong predelic-
tons and preiudices. The importance.
the absolute necessity of the appointment
to the position which we name of man
who in addition to his great learning
in law is free from undue feel
ing and bias becomes apparent in
a single moments reflection. The officer,
with his assistants and subordinate
agents. is of prime Importance. Such be-
ing our opinion we have ventured to bring
it formally and earnestly to your consider
alton. If you have anticipated in such ap-
pointment already made the suggestions
which we here offer we shall ever be your
grateful, delighted fellow citizens"
During the afternoon it was presented to
the general.

the Democrats to elect q United States
senator at this session OF the legislature.
A conference is to be held. in spite of
Kenna's protests. He recognizes that
an effort will be made to get him to
withdraw, and has declared before
hand that he will not do so. His
latest declaration is that he is the
candidate of the Democratic party, and it
must stand or fall with him The MEM

today with the statement that they would
support. Jack, of Gilmer county, nephew
of ex-senator Camden. started the cali for
the conference Keuna had q personal in
terview with him and stormy scene en-
sued. Kenna's friends charge that Cam
den is at the bottom of the movement
against him, and Kenna himself intimated
as much to Jack. who indig-
nantly denied it. The paper, however,
is already signed by majority of
the Democrats, and the conference will be
held. A hot time is expected, for the
Kenna men will read the riot act to the
friends of all the other candidates.
The vote for senator today showed no
change. Many men who would otherwise
have deserted Kenna remained with him
in view of the meeting tomorrow night.

Zeke is the hero of the famous Going
Snake district tragedy, which took place
in 1872, when seven men were killed and
himself wounded in the knee, Among the
killed were three deputy marshals from
this place. Zeke was on trial at
the time in the courts of his
own nation for murder. The marshals
had writ for him in this court,
and went there to arrest him, If he was ac-
quilted in the Cherokee courts Zeke was
armed and surrounded by his friends, and
when the officers came to the court house
opened fire on them, and a general fight
ensued. Proctor escaped to the mountains
and defied the United States authorities,

SUSPENDED FOR INSTRUMENTATION.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 4.-Kokomo divis-
ion No. S, uniformed rank, Knights of
Pythias, has been suspended by Supreme
Chancellor of the World William Ward,
for INSTRUMENTATION. This is one of the
most widely known Of the drill squads of
that organization and has captured many
prizes for proficiency. Last June, at the
meeting in Cincinnati of the supreme
lodge of the world, drill for large prizes
was one of the features.
The judges were officers of the regular
army, detailed by the United States gov
eminent to act as such The first prize
was awarded to the Hastings, Mich, divi-
sion. The Kokomo knights, instead of
protesting in the legal way, rushed into
print and made charges rejecting on the
honor of the Judges. The supreme chan
cellor ordered Kokomo to apologize to the
judges and gave them thirty days in
which to do SO. This kokomo refused or
failed to do, and the division was suspend
ed until the next meeting of the Supreme
Lodge. Their only appeal is to the SUI
preme Lodge of the world.
