NKw loRk. Nov. 2l.-During the

the partial revival of the previous week
having proved TO be bat transient
room" ripple up0n the dead calm Of
speculation. Neither the unexpectedly
liberal gain the bank reserves, nor tAe
equally unexpected strength shown Ia
the Bank of EnglaEd's statement Of
last week, nor the gam of q per cent
in the October gross earnings of the
railroads, have had any important
effect upon the market, and the trans
actions al the Stock Exchange shrank

.ndlcates that. whatever may be sad
about the state OF the country st large,

This condition OF the market seems
slngularly inconsistent with the hopes
legltlmgtely based upon the ccmmer-
c.al stimulus that mus. attend the dis
tributlon of our extraordinary crops
and the expoftat.oD Of probably an un-

The insenslbslIty OF the stock market
10 those inspiring prospects Is no doubt
due, ia some measure, 10 a ouieLer con-
diton OF the general trade OF the ooun-

A Murder Committed . Quarter or =
Century Ago in the Courts.
KITTANNING, Nov. 22.-John B. Ruff
ner, of West Franklin township, this
county. who was arrested on the 5th
INST. to anzwer a charge of the murder
of Shields A. Rosenberger in Septem-
Der, 1866, was bound over at the prelim-
mary hearing before Justice Donaldson
yesterday to answer at the court of
Oyer and Terminer at the December
sessions.
An alteration that took place on the
premises of the defendant at that time
suddenly ended in the throwing of y
stone at young Rosenberger, who was
taking cherries without permission
from his trees. and from the effects Of
which he fell to the ground and died in
few minutes. No actual eyewltnesses
of the occurrence were called today,
but from admissions subsequently
proven to have been made by Ruffner
sufficient evidence seems to have been
cleaned to warrant an investigation IN
the criminal court.
The long time intervening between
the occurrence aud the action now
taken is attributed to the removal
shortly thereafter of the father of Ros-
enberger from the county and his ina
bility through lack of means to urge the
prosecution. Another theory is that
lll-will toward the defendant held by
outside parties had prompted them to
urge tins prosecution as . means of
revenge.
The respectability of the parties and
the investigation that will ensue has
already elected much interest in the
outcome OF this resurrected crime.

FATE FOLLOWS A FAMILY.
Tive Children Burned Up before th
Parents Eyes.

Parents Eyes.
CATLErTsBURG, KY, Nov 22.-Davld
Bartram, g farmer living three miles
from Louisa, KY, on Mill Greek,
Wayne county, w. Va. witnessed the
death of his two infant children n last
Friday night. The family had gone to
church, about two miles distant, leav-
ing three of the smallest children at
home to keep house. The little ones
retired very early and we're soon sound
asleep. Near o'clock the largest OF
the three was awakened by . rafting
noise which caused it 10 get up. On
examination it WAS found that the
house had caught fire in the kitchen
ana the flames were rapidly eating up
the building.
The first thing the eldest child
thought of doing was to warn paps and
mamma OF what had happened, little
thinking of the danger which Its little
brothers were in. The child at once
set out for the church in its night
clothes. On arriving at the church the
child ran breathles.ly into the crowd
and soon told its pitiful story to the
parents, who at once set out for their
once beautiful home, which by this
time wrapped in flames.
On arriving at the home 1t was too
late. The cries that went up when the
family stood by and saw their darling
ones burn to death were heartrending
All that could be done was to rake
from the burning RUNS the charged
boiies of the children. So excited
were the attendants at the church that
ali left at once for the place.
This is the second accident that has
happened IN the family the last few
years. The first was the killing of
their youngest son, William, while
coming from MS work IN the field. He
IS riding home on mule which had
lust been turned out of the plow, when
the animal became frightened and ran
away. The boy was soon thrown from
the animal, and away. went the mule
at full speed, with the boy bouncing
from one side to the fother. with his
feet fastened in the chains. The boy
mead was so badly mashed that he
could hardly be recognized.
The remains of the chr Idren were
gathered up as well as could be done
and will be inferred in the family bury
ing ground tomorrow. Mr.. Bartram
had beautiful country home. The
loss will probably reach SIC, 900. Moth
Ing was saved from the house.

Tar Features OF the Case.
WAsHssros, Nov. sat was gener-
atty expected that Willard Norvell, the
Detroit Treasury clerk who appropri-
ateo $500 OF government money to his
own use. would be brought up before
the criminal court yesterday moi ming
for sentence, and consequently large
crowd assembled IN the court room,
but the prisoner WAS not brought up
from the Jail. When Norvell pleaded
guilty to the charge of larceny and en-
bezzlement from the United States
Thursday afternoon II was suggested by
Assistant District Attorney Clagett that
be be brought up today for sentence,
and Judge Bradley acquesced. No or
der was issued by the court and, &C
cordIrgy, the marshal was gwen no
instructions to produce the prisoner at
the city hall.
A gOot many surmises were made as
the reasons Tor this change, but it is
understood that il is not the intention
OF the district attorney Captain Cole, TO
hurry the case IN the least. He has be-
come interested in il because of its
rather mysterious phases-the appa-
rent lack OF motive for the theft, the
attitude of Norvell subsequent to his
arrest, and the position OF the mother
and sister. Inasmuch as Norvell has
acknowledged the crime and pleaded
guilty, there remains but his sentence
by the court, and the only question
pending IS AS TO its severity. NoryelPs
crime IS contrasted as TO his previous
good record, his excellent ways, his
reasonably good habits. aud his simple
tastes puzzles the officials of this court.
The district is sad to he anxious to
AVOID doing anything that might ruin
NoryelPs future in case there Is any,
thing IN him worth saving. If this
crime is the one bad thing about his
life that will never be repeated long
term IN prison might cause him to
abandon all hope and lead wretched
existence afterward.
1t is not certain whether the prisoner
will be brought up for sentence next
Saturday. He will probablys stay IN
jail in the meantime, as he does net de-
sire to obtain bail.
