A Warning From jefferson City Concerning

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Sept 6-Sec
fetary of State Lesueur yesterday re-
ceived from John w. Moore, chairman
of the Republican Congressional con-
vention of the Sixth district the certifi-
cate showing the nomination of John
W. Redmon, of Boonville, for Congress.
This is the first certificate of nomination
received by the Secretary under the re-
quirement of the Australian system. 1t
was not in good form, as all the pro-
visions of sections 4762, 4757 and 475S
had not been fully complied with and it
was returned for correction.
In all Congressional, Judicial and
Senatorial districts in which are located
city of 5, 900 inhabitants or over certi-
ficates of nomination must be filed with
the Secretary of State between Septem-
Der and October IA or the vote OF that
city can not be counted. The Congress
sional DISTRICTS which will come under
the law are the First, Second, Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Tenth,
Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth.
Judicial elections are not held this
year except to fill vacancies, and only
the Second district will be required to
file a certificate of nomination. The
Thirtieth judicial circuit created by the
last General Assembly in the south
western part of the State does not con-
tain city of 5000 inhabitants This
year only the even numbered Senator
ial districts elect Senators, and of those
only the Second, Tenth, Twenty-eighth
and Fourteenth contain cities of 5. 900.
Unless great care is exercised there
may be considerable confusion result
ing from a misunderstanding of the
law

/ LIBERTY, Mo, Sept 5.-Lewis Griffith,
who Is under arrest for numbering Ell
vira Owensby at his fathers home near
Kearney Monday, has confessed to be-
ing guilty of the horrible crime.
Griffith was arraigned before Justice
Of the Peace Steam shortly before six
o'clock last evening to have the warrant
! charging him with the deed read to him.
The justice slowly read the warrant and
when he had finished asked the defend
ant if he were guilty or not.
To the surprise and astonishment of
the justice and the other officers present
the young man said guilty. Asked if
he realized enormity of the crime and
what the consequences would be of his
confessing his guilt, he replied that he
supposed it would be hanging.
Griff1th's indifference and manner puz-
zled those present and they could
hardly realize that he was human. He
was then told that he would have to go
back to Jail, as the case was not baila-
BILE. He called the justice aside and
after few words was taken to Jail.
Griffith said that he went to his faith
er's house from Clinton County on Mon
day morning-the day of the murder
and found no one at home but the aged
negress. He stayed around the house
until about two o clock in the afternoon,
and shortly after the neighbor boy
passed, when the old woman proposed
| that they go out behind the orchard and
! hunt for hens nests, When they had
| gotten about one hundred yards from
| the house he shot her in the head while
he was walking just in the rear and a
| little to the right of her. He was close
| to her and she fell without uttering a
word. After she fell he fired the second
| shot. He then took her pocketbook Her
| bonnet was set on fire from the first
| shot and he put it out, or thought he
| did. He did not set her clothes on fire
| purposely. AS he was starting off he
took the money-S4. 50-out of the pock
etbook and threw the book into the
fence corner. Returning to the house
he opened the trunk to get some cake
which she had given him before they
| left the house He locked the house
and left for Kearney going through the
| fields and woods. He there met Bette
| Morris at a cabin on the premises of a
banker, for whom she was servant.
From there he went to Bement on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road and
took a train for this place, arriving here
at seven o'clock and remaining until ar
| rested Tuesday evening.
CIR fifth said he did not kill the old
woman for her money, but because she
had been talking about him. He took
the money thinking he might need it.
| He knew that she carried money He
did not know why he fired the second
| shot, as she was dead when he did.
| When he went to the house that morn
ing he never had any thought of taking
her life. lie had gone to school but
very little, and can neither read nor
| write.
Neither Griffith's father nor any Of
his relatives have been here since his
arrest.

which have occupied the attention of

Young johnson was the son of A. John

petrator OF the deed should he be

TRADE REVIEW.

Dun's Report For the Week Very Encoursg-
Ing-Grain Gamblers Nipped But Legiti-
mate Trade Good.
NEW York, Sept 8-R g. Dun & Co. s
weekly trade review says:
The accounts of trade from all parts
Of the country are encouraging this
week. At Boston the money market is
pretty stiff, which affects some trades
Leather is more quiet and hides firm.
At Philadelphia sales of leather are
large at better prices and collections
improve. Chicago reports smaller re-
ceipts of grain than last year except OF
barley, decrease of half in dressed
beef because of the stock yards strike,
and large decrease in butter, but an
increase of SO per cent in cured
meats, 200 per cent in lard and heavy
increase in cheese and wool, while mer-
chandise and especially dry goods sales,
much exceed last years St Louis
notes good trade In nearly all lines,
with crop prospects hatimproved.
Cincinnati finds business favorable, ex-
cellent in boots and shoes and
healthy in other merchandise, with
advance in groceries; the carriage
manufacture is active, and some
decrease from last year in sales Of
| clothing is more than compensated by
better prices. Trade is fairly good in
nearly all lines at Cleveland, encourag-
ing at Detroit better than was antici-
pated at Milwaukee, unchanged at St
Paul and fair at Kansas City. From
Jacksonville there come brighter re-
ports and at Savannah business is brisk.
The speculative markets are lower.
| People who have been bulling wheat
observe loss of cents for the week,
in corn cents, in oats 4 cent, in pork
| 25 cents per barrel and in hogs so cents
per 100 pounds while oil is Il cent
| lower and cotton = cent. The sales have
been but moderate-26,0 600, 900 bushels OF
wheat, 1000, 900 bushels of corn, 60, 000
| bales of cotton and 100, 900 bags Of coffee
without change in price. Prices gen.
| orally have been so high that exports
were materially diminished, the value
sent from New York for the last week
| being 81, 300, 600 or 80 per cent below
last year. The general average OF
prices yields less than the prices OF
speculative objects which have been
unnaturally advanced, and leather
goods and some other manufactures are
higher, but in the aggregate fall of =
per cent. appears.
1t is the prevailing opinion that the
second order by the Treasury to pur-
chase bonds insures fairly easy money
market for the fall Trade in branches
taken together is certainly more than
10 per cent greater than at this time
| last year exclusive of speculative oper-
ations, about per cent of the
increase being due to the advance
in prices since last year and the
rest to the increase in quantities
| of products transferred. Though
commercial credit appears to be uu-
usually healthy few failures arising
from speculation are the main cause o1
disturbance. The business failures oc'
curing throughout the country during
the past seven days number 203, as COM
pared with total of 1S9 last week. For
the corresponding week of last year the
| figures were 201.
