LOOKING Up.

The Wichita banks report a perceptible
relaxation in the stringency of the money
market, with collections relatively easier,
obligations more promptly met and but
comparatively few extensions asked. Mer-
chants say that the country trade is
strengthening and that undeniably the
farmers of the southwest who have more
money than for years, have been less
cramped than mechanics, professional men
and townspeople generally. The retail
trade for the past len days has been, as
estimated by President Levy, full 45 per
cent greater than for the corresponding
period of year ago.

The MuscOe Case.

The case of William Muscoe, alias
Thomas Jordan, convicted OF the
murder of a police-officer at Char
lottesville, land sentenced to be.hang-
ed, .was argued in the Supreme
Court of Appeals, last Tuesday and
Wednesday.
James II. hayes, Esq, and Samuel
Page, ESQ.,, appeared for the prison
er and Attorney General Scott for
the Commonwealth. The points up
on which this second appeal is made
is first for a change of venue; second
the jury wrongly instructed by the
Judge and third; the prisoner was
not convicted according to evidence.
On the first appeal the Supreme
Court set aside the verdict and re-
manded the prisoner to be tried.
Efforts were made to lynch him,
but owing to the law abiding spirit
of Charlottesville officials, backed
by those of the state, it was not ac
c0mplished. Muscoe is now in the
Lynchburg Jail awaiting the actor
of the Supreme Court. Mr.. Hayes
has taken a personal interest in the
case spending his personal means IL
order to bring about successful ter
mination. The decision is expected
TO be announced next Thursday.

Thaddeus Fowlkes, a colOred man
charged with the murder of a white
man named Yancey, had been taken

AS the party neared brakes Branch
on the I'd inst. at about p. M, a
party of white men took the colored
man from the officers and changed
him to a tree. The prisoner could
not resist as his hand were manacled
and his arms bound also with ropes.
He was tied very much as one would
be who was about to be hanged on
the gallows.
There was no attempt made to de-
fend this helpless man.
The rope was thrown over the
limb. In the darkness only the
forms of the men could be seen.
Fowlkes, trembling in every limt
washed under the tree, the moose ad
iusted and the last words he ever
heard were ''Draw him up, boys .
So say the witnesses. He writhe,
and twisted. The body swung tc
and fro owing to the contortions o
the dying man who was being slow

The crowd then dispersed.
