Ingersoll's Cutf' Buttons.

New YORK, April 20.--A cable from
Rome to the Times says: Col. Robert
lngersoll is the innocent cause OF the dis
tgurement of the statue of Glordano Bru
no. Some OF his friends thought it well
to make him Il present OF a pair of sleeve
buttons made of bronze stolen from the
wreath which adorns the head of that
statue. There is no doubt bronze from the
statue of the old martyrs to free thought
would be most welcome to the great Amer
lcan agnostics, but the manner in which
that bronze was obtained does not become
more commendable on that account

American goods for Argentine Re-
public purchasers, will be an object
lesson to the South Americans, and
such a constant stock of American
goods will greatly stimulate trade
with this country. The syndicate, OF
which Senior Aceredo is the moving

with this country, by keeping goods
in stock tor home purchasers. which
could not otherwise be done. The

PANAMA advices state that the
agent of the canal company, Wyse,
is very sanguine of securing every
concession asked for from the Colom-

sions. This is directly at variance
with the news heretofore sent and the
action of the legislature which con-
venes July 20 will be awaited with

GRAHAM. TEX. March 24.-The Federal court
adjourned last Saturday. The United States
district attorney, Eugene Marshal, asked for a
continuance in the cases of Logan, Williams,
Rutherford snd Wilberson, indicted at the last
term of the United States court at Dallas for the
murder of ALT and Epp NARROW. These cases
all continues till the October term at Ora
ham.
Counsel for the defense appealed TO the United
States supreme court at Washington, first, on
the ground that the killing of the Marlows, VIII
were United States prisoners in the custody of
the United States marshal, was offense
United States has Jurisdiction; second, on
the ground that the grand jury at Dallas could
not legally find indictment against any per-
son for an offense committed in county which
assigned to the court at Graham.
If the supreme court sustains the opinion OF
Judges Pardee and McCormick-viz., that the
United States court has sole jurisdiction in these
cases-then counsel for defendants will ask to
be allowed bail for their clients. The defend
ants are now in Jail at Dallas, except Ruther-
ford, who was allowed bail, and gave bond
for Sl0, 90.
The defense will be represented before the
General Garland, and W. L. Crawford of Dallas
viii represent the government.
B. williams, one Of the defendants, has
already been tried and acquitted for this same
offense at the last term OF our state district
court at Jacksboro.

NEW YORK, March 26.-Continued selling of
our securities by foreigners is the most remark
able feature of the financial situation at present.
Gables from London or Berlin show that the
condition of the money market at both of these
centers is improving. In London money is at 34
discount for short bills is Zsl. This mornings
cable from Berlin announced that the imperial
banks statement shows an increase in specie of
nearly six million marks. Now, Just why, in
the face OF daily reports of the character show
ng constant improvement in the financial situa-
ton abroad, our securities should be sold by for
elgners on the other side and here at constantly
declining prices would be a conundrum. Only
one reason has been put forth and it is probably
the correct one, although it is difficult for in
New York to realize it's force. The resignation
of Bismarck seems to have dealt blow to the
sense OF financial security abroad more insidious
than was AT first supposed. That a European
war scare serious enough to really affect prices
can exist under the present conditions abroad is
one of the best possible illustrations of the
timidity OF capital.
London prices for American securities were
lower again this morning and foreigners
continued TO sell in our market. Con-
seQuently prices our stock exchange
were quite weak at the opening
although the market showed an upward ten
dency Later sugar trust certificates were part
ed with freely at very low figures.
An increase of over SIS, 600 in the earnings of
Ontario and Western for the third week of
March induced considerable buying of that
stock.
Missouri Pacific and Oregon TranscontinentaI
were strong features.
AS the day went on the market strengthened
very percept bly,, but it was very dull indeed.
. Sterling exchange rates advanced again to-
day. so did the New York price of silver.

trial here by a change of venue from
Hill county. Messrs. Pearre s. Boyn-

Croft of Corsicana and T. p. Whipple of
WaXahachie are defending Varuell.
Messrs. NJ. B. Templeton, G. C. Groce
and R. NJ. Clark Of Waxahachie'are
prosecuting. The case has already be-
come known throughout the state and the
additional fact that it has passed through
theE courts of the state and is now on
the second round makes it one of peculiar
interest. The aged mother of Varnell is
an attendant in the case, which gives
additional interest. There are quite
number of witnesses from Hill county.
The case will likely consume the rest of
the week and the verdict is awaited with
peculiar interest.

Gnffea Market.


Following is taken from the weekly circular Of
Henry Clews g. Co., New York:
The temper of the speculation changed entire
~ on the opening of the exchange this week,
and an active bull campaign came to an abrupt
end. Prices on Monday were from Is to 80
points below Saturdays closing and were soon
followed by further declines during the week.
To-day there was a moderate reaction, leaving
the market some IS to 100 points lower for the
week. The decline was precipitated by free
European selling and fresh advices from Brazil
giving an increased estimate of the growing
crop, say 800 900 to ,000, 600 bags. Havre was
the first market to feel the effect, and has de-
cllned from to francs, and Hamburg has been
correspondiugiy weak. After such decline we
hesitate about advising short sales, except on
rallies; but we cannot avoid expressing the
opinion that if the crop estimate receives further
confirmation, the market is q good sale now,
especially on the far months We call your at
tention to the fact that we advised free sales OF
these options when they were much higher, and
those of our customers who availed of this OPP
portunity have the chance to take good
profits. Rio has lost much of her strength in
consequence OF the weakness here and in Eu-
rope, and has been a liberal seller on the ex-
change. Receipts at Rio and Santos have been
quite large, say a, 900 bags. The arrivals here
nil. The iobbing trade for the moment is at a
StandStil.
