dcrod NIuintto.
Tho energetic efforts Of THE TIMES
have succeeded in lifting the veil of
mystery concerning tho identity of tho
negro found dcad-foully murdered, as
the autopsy shows--in tho West End
yard, in tho carly hours of Monday last.
Whom the reporter for TIE TIMES was
reluctantly convinced that the coronial
jury was not taking proper, stops to es
tablish the identity of the man, he in
stituted inquiries which developed tho
fact that tho brass check, numbered
"1716," was such as was used in Gay
nor's contracting camp, then at Hatch
er's Tank, three miles east of Chris
tiansburg.
A telegram was then sent to Contrac-
tors Gaynor, directed to Christiansburg.
No answer was received until last night,
and it read as follows:
CHRIsTIANsBURG, Jan. 80, 1891.
ROANOKE TIMRs-Your telegram Of
this morning received. III answer would
state we had man in our employ by
brass check No. 1716. Tho last day he
worked was on the 18th. We cannot
give any more information as to his
whereabouts. L. j. GAYNoR Sc Son.
A TIMES reporter made an eXplora ton
of the dives along Railroad avenue last
night seeking further information
and ran up against one William Nc
Allister, n kalsomincr in the employ of
Mr.. c. O'Leary. who worked last fall
for Contractor Gaynor, and who knew
and gave pretty accurate de-
scription of the dead man. Edwards, he
said. was q quiet and inoffensive darlley,
who camo originally from West Vir-
ginia. McAllistcr acted as though he
knew more than he told, and was noti-
fled by the officer who accompanied the
reporter to appear before tho chief of
police this morning.
III the meantime tho remains have
again been sent to the poor-house farm
for intcrment. Before so doing, how
ever, a photograph of the remains was
taken, and copies of it will be placed in
tho hands of tho police for distribution.
In reply to question from TINES
reporter, Coroner Gray said yesterday
that the functions OF the coroner and
his jury have been exhausted in what
has been done in tho case; they arc now
without attribute, right or power except
it should be demonstrated that there
was a suspicion, say, of poisoning, and
then the coroner could order tho body
to be again eXhumed for an examination
of the contents Of the Negroes stomach

= LONDON, Jan. ca Special "A dis
patch from Buenos Ayres received in
this city, states that information has
been received there from Chill that VAL
paraiso, Guayaquilc and Plea continue
in state Of blockade; that tho iusurg-
entS are masters of the situation that
they have seized Tarapaca and have
sacked all the stores containing or sup
posed to contain arms and ammunition
in Valparaiso. The insurgents will con-
sent to allow the port of Valparaiso to
BIO reopened to commerce, provided the
foreign consuls maintain neutral atti-
tude.
The general opinion throughout
Chill, seems to be that unless President
Balmaccda promptly resigns the whole
OF military forces Of Chilli will rise in
revolt against his authority. 1t is
added that foreigners residing in Chilli
are safe from molcstation except Ital-
ian residents, who are accused by Bal

reilly encouraged the revolutionists

DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
The New Year Opens With Satisfactory
BusIness.

Ahc Nc~ Iedr "Opens with satisfactory
business.
New YORK, Jan. 23.-[Speciall- R.
G. Dun & Company's weekly review
of trade says: The new year opens en-
conragingly. January settlements have
passed with less disturbance in trade
than was expected and tho demand for
goods which now appears is, on the
whole, considerably larger than that of
year ago. The financial anxieties,
which have occupied so much attention
for weeks past are almost removed, and
healthy and vigorous trade OF great
and rapidly growing nation begins to
exert its natural influence.
1t has been noteworthy, throughout
recent financial troubles, that tho West
ern centers OF trade have been compare
lively free from disturbance or appre-
hension, and now tho energy and growth
of the West have their effect in a larger
trade and stronger confidence in Eastern
commercial centers.
In tho South we find improving bust
ness. In consequence, Eastern centcrs
show moro activity.
The building trade Mt Philadelphia is
disturbed by the demand of the brick

tiers for larger wages, but at Pittsburg
somewhat more activity is seen in iron,
though glass is rather dull and some
factories temporarily closed.
The iron trade is stiffcned by larger
decrease in production. The demand
for bar does NOS improve, however, or
dcrs for plates arr somewhat scarce, and
trade in structural iron is only about
fair, but in pipes excellent. Tho mar
llet for bread stuns has been stronger,
and wheat has advanced quarter, coin

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 23.-[Spccial |
Tho senate to-day passed unanimously
the house joint resolution thanking
other States for making appropriations
in behalf OF the Worlds Fair a rcso-
luton was introduced setting forth that
the legislature of Alabama had laid
upon the table the proposed appropria-
ton for State exhibit at the Worlds
Fair on the ground that If the elections
bill pending in Congress should be
passed such an exhibit would be of no
value to tho State, and calling upon the
Illinois delegation in Congress to vote
against the passage Of the elections bill
in the interest of the fair. Motions to
table and refer to the committee were
defeated by the full Democratic vote,
aided by three L. nj. b. a. votes and one
Republican.
In the course of the debate it was
pointed out that two Senators from I'LL
nois hold balance of power In the
senate and can defeat the passage of the
bill. Pending action on tho resolution
