c,,,oroformed and Tatooed.

PrTTsBURG, PA, January l6.-While
stopping at his home at Shousetown,
Pa, last Sunday night, unknown par
ties tatooed cross on the forehead OF
Charles Busscl, a young man "a years
of age. BuSsel married young woman
nine months ago, and three months
later the couple separated. AT short
intervals for several weeks he has been
receiving anonymous letters ordering
him to leave town, or he would be marked
for life, but he paid no attention to the
communication. Last Monday morning
he awakened with a severe pain in the
nose. Upon looking into mirror he
was Mortified to see Il cross OF India INK
tatooed upon his forehead. Upon his
dressing case was a bottle labelled chlo-
roform, and it is supposed that he was
first placed under the influence OF the
anesthctic and then tatooed. Iester-
dav he received another letter threat
ening his life if he remained in the vicln-
itv anv longer. The outrage has been
brought to the attention Of the author
ities. and an investigation is in progress.
So far no clue has been obtained to
the perpetrator of the foul deed.

EXTRA SESSION
Very Probable in the Spring-No Business
Done Yet.

very EronAnlc IN the spring BUSINESS
Done Yet.
Special Ts,sqrlm 20 ne Register.
WASHINGTON, January l6.-Talk OF
the likelihood of an extra session of
Congress with Spring was again started
to-day. The cause Of 10 is the SlOwneSS
with which business is being done in
the House, as well rs in the Senate.
Not one of the regular appropriation
bills has yet been finally passed on.
But six weeks of the session now re-
main. The House has disposed of
four of these bills, but the Senate
has not considered any OF them and
Is not likely 20 begin doing SO for some
days. This leaves the most important
business OF the session vet 20 be done,
and II the Republicans do not promptly
come 90 their senses, drop the Force
bin and get at the appropriation bills in
earnest, an extra session will be eX-
tremely probable. The Democrats of
the House do not attempt 20 conceal
that their policy is and will be- one OF
delay until the Force bill has been
finally laid aside. This course is en-
tirely legitimate I'm view OF the grave
interests 40 stake. They feel they
would be recreaut 10 their
duty IL they failed 70 employ
every means at their command TO
save the country from the disaster Of
the adoption Of the Force bill. They
have not as yet done anything in the
House that is clearly of diliatory
character; an they do is to insist on a
full discussion OF an measures that come
up. refusing 20 hurry matters at the
desire of the Republicans. This in
itself IS good thing, as dangerous leg
islation is always rushed through at the
close Of session. when bills are hur-
riedly passed without proper discussion.

BUSINESS REVIEW
TIE SITUATION IN TIE COUNTRY SAID TO
BE IMPROVED,
Although the Ra,ct Of The Passage Of the Free
Silver Bill May Have Sns Influence
Later-1hs Money Markets Are
Much Easitr and Trade is
kOre Hopeful.

New YORK, January l6.-R. G. Dun
Co.'s weekly review of trade, says
How far the situation and prospect may
be changed by the passage OF free
coinage bill by the Senate, as yet, is
mainly matter of conjecture. Reports
of the state of trade at different points
reflect mainly situation prior to that
vote, and show general Improvement in
the volume of business, easier money
markets and a more cheering outlook.
For the past week, with wheat one
cent higher, corn and oats practically
unchanged, exports OF wheat have been
only about half of last years, of flour
less than quarter, and of corn only
one-eighth.
Pork has not changed, but lard and
hogs are lower. Oil is &c lower.
The reports from other cities show
that until Friday the situation and out
look had been improving and a feeling
of greater confidence prevailed. Bos-
ton notes greater activity in wool, goods
selling well. Philadelphia reports cas-
ier money, and better trade IN wool.
Chicago sees increasing sales Of dry
goods. with better collections, with an
Increase in receipts OF lard, cheese,
hides and wool At Cincinnati there is
an average trade, and favorable out
look at st. Louis, and Cleveland's trade
is improving.
The money markets have been easlsr
and banks are able TO help customers
more literally, but at the east the diff
Guilty OF making commercial loans has
not entirely ceased, though money on
call is very abundant.
The great industries are not in wholly
satisfactory position. The market for
wooden goods is broader and more hope
full, and the demand from clothiers is
distinctly better, while the boot and
shoe trade continues highly satisfactory.
But the weekly output Of pig iron jan
uary lst was but l67, 500 tons. Bar
iron is unsettled and plates weaker.
The coal trade is i'm more hopeful condi-
tion. In general the course OF prices
for manufactured products is not help
ful TO producers, while the cost of living
and production is enhanced by specula-
tive advances in the prices Of many
farm products.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
seven days number All, as compared
with total of 4O3 last week. For the
corresponding week OF last year the
figures were 332.

THE INDIAN AFFAIR.
An Educational Expert Thinks the Troops
Had Revenge In Their Minds.

WASHINGTON, January l6.-The Com
missioner of Indian Affairs has received
from Elaine Goodale, Supervisor of
Education, the following letter dated
Pine Ridge, January T.:
Yours Of the eth inst, asking for re.
port of the battle at Wounded Knee Is
received. | was not an eye witness Of
the fight, and my information has been
obtained chiefly from Indian prisoners.
The testimony OF the survivors OF Big
Foot's band is unanimous on one i'm
portant point, namely, that the Indians
did not deliberately plan resistance.
The party was not war party accord
ing to their statements (Which believe
to be true), but a party intending to
visit the agency at the invitation OF Red
Cloud.
The Indians say that many OF the
men were unarmed. When they met
the troops they anticipated no trouble.
There was constant friendly intercourse
between the soldiers and the Indians.
The demand for their arms was a sur
prise TO the Indians, but the great ma
jority of them chose to submit quietly.
A number Of the men had surrendered
their rifles and cartridge belts, when
one Young man fired a single shot. This
called forth a vOlley from the troops
and the firing and confusion became
general. do not credit the statement
made by some that the women carried
arms and participated actively in the
fight. The weight Of testimony is over
whelmingly against this SuppoSitiOn.
There may have been one or two iSO-
lated eases of this kind, but there is no
doubt that the great majority Of the
women and children as well
as many unmarried men aud
youth had no thought Of any
thing but flight. They were pursued
up the ravines and shot down indiscrim-
lnately by the soldiers. 1t is reported
that one of the officers called out,
"Don't shoot the squawS," but the men
were doubtless too much excited to
obey. The killing of the women and
children was in part unavoidable, owing
to the confusion, but think there is no
doubt that in many cases there was de-
liberate and intentional killing. The
Seventh Cavalry, Custer's old command,
has an old grudge to repay.
The party of scouts who buried the
dead report that they have bodies or
men and boys, "a of women and Is OF
young children. Some were carried off
by the hostiles. A number of prisoners,
chiefly women, have since died Of their
wounds, and more will soon follow.

Newsy Notes About Distinguished Visitors

CHARLESTON, w. VA, January TO-
Senator Camden's presence in the city
has created quite a commotion among
the many prominent Democrats here.
His asseyerations that his visit is simply
in the interests of his multitude of rail
road projects and on business matters
simply, and that after he is through
he will proceed TO Baltimore,
does not deter political aspirants
from discussing with him polit-
ical matters nearest their hearts. They
all know that many are called but few
are chosen, and although this is quite
early to begin laying the foundation for
future political approximations, yet a
postponement may be fatal to even a
call let alone a choice. Hence the
anxiety of many to present their cases
and to get kind word Of encourage
ment from one of the chieftalns of the
party.

portant Office, but how far his friends
are authorized to speak for him is un-
certain. From another quarter comes
an expression that Congressman w. l..
Wilson should be the man to head the
Democratic ticket in 90. But does he
desire the nomination? AYE, that's
the rub" | learn, too, that Ohio coun-
tvs popular Delegate, Lave Garden, is
peeping at the State Treasuryship with
all the interest that is justified at this
early date. If Lave gets his eye Sot on
that position there will have to be some
tall hustling to make him come of.

The Farmers Are Solid.

TOPEKA, KANs., January l6.-Ihe
question of the success Of the attempt
of the Farmers Alliance to send farm
or to the Senate TO succeed Mr.. ingalls,
seems at present to hinge on the ability
of the Alliance to agree upon candi-
date in caucus. All the members are at
present very reticent on the Senatorial
question, but all agree that when the
time comes they will agree upon can
date and elect him. Up to the present
time remarkable harmony has prevailed
in all the Alliance deliberations,
and the only disturbing element
has been the Turner letter.
Caucuses are held every night after the
adjournment of the lower house at
which the course of action for the sue
ceeding day is agreed upen. The
caucuses are secret, but so far as has
been learned all action taken in them
has been unanimous These nightly
meetings have had the effect OF accus-
toming the Alliance men to caucus
methods, and they say that when the
Senatorial question comes up they VIII
