an Alibi.


CHICAGO, July 21.-A special to the
Inter- Ocean from Marion, Ind, says:
"Blair Mock of this city, whose name is
mentioned in Van Vert, O., special in
connection with the murder of Eugene
Vanderventer, will have no difficulty in
proving an alibi. Young Mock is now in
the delivery business here. He was here
Friday night and his father states
that he has not been out of
town but once since his pardon, and
that was when he attended the Wabash
races last month. The trial of Mock for
the murder of Harry Vanderventer oc-
Cured in this city on a change of venue
from Huntington. He was tried twice and
at neither trial was the victim of the Van
Vert tragedy present, either as a spectator
or witness, and consequently the statement
that Mock vowed vengeance against the
dead engineer for testimony given at that
trial can have no foundation"

BUSINESS REVIEW.
STRlNGENCY IN COMMERCIAL LOANS CAUSE
OF THE PRESENT DISTURBANCE.
4 Distinct Improvement Noticed in Domestic Affairs
Volume Of Trade Throughout the Country Con-
tinues Heayy-Adyance in Prices-NO
Change in the Industrial Situation.

New YORK, December Or. &. Dun
Il Co.'S. weekly review of trade says:
Stringency in commercial loans, noticed
last week as the chief cause OF the pres
ent disturbance, is now almost the re-
naming cause. In domestic affairs
there has been distinct improvement
in the disposition Of banks and money
lenders TO give necessary support to
legitimate business, curtailing specula-
tive advances as far as possible. At Bos-
ton there is better feeling. Providence
notes quiet trade. Philadelphia reports
some activity in holiday trades, though
the grocery trade Is only fair. Wool is
extremely dull, and tea and coffee are
fiat. About ST, 900, 900 of clearing house
certificates are out, and banks are dis
counting custom house paper literally,
The movement Of products at Chicago
shows an increase over last year OF one
half in oats, dressed beef and barley,
some increase in lard, cheese and hides,
and decrease in wheat, corn, cured
meats and wool. In general the vol
ume of trade throughout the country is
so heavy that with the advance Of ~
per cent in prices since year ago,
larger supplies of money are absorbed.
The speculative markets for the pro-
ducts APE relatively high already, wheat
having advanced shade for the week,
and corn no less than2 cents, oil cent
and pork % cents per barrel.
There is no especial change noted in
the great industries, though pig iron is
rather weaker in tone. Demands for
finished products of iron and steel are
still large, though distinctly less than a
month ago, and rails are weak with
scanty sales. The woolen manufacture
erS are much more hopeful and conf
dent that six months or a year ago, but
manufacturers are moving with caution.
Labor troubles are very few, and the in
duStry of the country is remarkably
well employed at fair wages.
Tho business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number 3l2, as compared
with total of 2io last week. For the
corresponding week of last year the fig
urcs were 3l6.

Der 5.-On Monday Captain Ketcham.
of the Twenty-second Infantry, who
was Admtant General for Stanley in

Wolf. Necklace, Big Head, Black Toma-

The Indians stated that they had no
grievances, and with one accord said
the later treaties had been complied
with. They expressed grave fears lest
the conduct of Sitting Bull and others
would result in war, and that the Crook
Foster-Warner treaty would be abro-
gated thereby. They We're assured that
friendly Indians would not suffer, and
were content.

No one i'm this reservation not actual

expressing the firm belief that he should
be arrested, and as speedily as possible.
He is surely arrogant and recalcitrant,
and is regarded as 4 standing menace To
peace. not only by whites, but by such
Indians aS Call and John Grass. Many
who know the man, and believe him u
be a coward, think he would submit to
arrest peaceably. Others think he
would fight hard.
