An outrage falsehOod and SANDER

Some days since the Richmond Time
received letter from a gentleman il
New York stating that young woman
who had been arrested in that city fol
theft, claimed that she was daughter
of Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, but that he did
not believe it. In reference to which
the Times says
1.-The woman is base imposter Gen
eral j. E. B. Stuart has only one daugh
ter living, and she is the wife OF Mr..
Robert Page Waller, of Norfolk. Our
correspondent can, therefore, emphati-
cally deny the claims of the person ar
rested in New York"
This base falsehood and outrageous
SANDER is worse crime than the theft
for which she was arrested, and should
subject the perpetrator to severer
punishment.

Burrell FOrgey and Thomas Collins, the
Train-R0bbers, Arrested

We gave an account last week, as furnished
by passenger on the train, of the attempted
robbery of the passengers on the Vestibule
train at Huntington, w. Va, about 1.30 o.
clock Monday night of last week. in which
one passenger, a German was killed and an
other slightly wounded in several places. 1t
was then thought there were three robbers,
but it turns out there were but two, and that
both of them-Burrell Forgey of Huntington
and Thomas Collins of Bradrick, just across
the Ohio River from Huntington-have been
arrested, and that both were shot, Forgey in
the arm near the shoulder and Collins in the
fleshy part of the thigh. When Collins was
arrested and found that the testimony against
him was conclusive, he made confession
saying that Forgey was the instigator, and
that they had been planning and preparing
! for it for two weeks previous to the occur
renee. Forgey's wife is an accessory before
he fact, as she prepared the masks for them.
On tbat night they had exchanged COATS to
aid in the disguise, and Collins coat which
was found in a sink at Forgey's house, and
wnicn was wSrn by Forgey, Rad bullet-hole
in it corresponding to the place where Forgey
! was HONAlNCN. OiScy W ilC otctcu Jldt OUi-
Inns wore Forgey's coat Oh that night. The
pistol which Forgey lost on the train was
| identified by the boy who sold it to him.
Forgey claimed that he had heen shot at his
home To get Collins from Ohio into West
Virginia the arresting officers told him they
wanted him as a witness in behalf Of Forgey
in reference to his being shot at home. He
readily consented to go with them When
they had him on West Virginia soil, they told
him that he was arrested as one of the train
robbers. When he learned of the evidence
against him, he made confession as above
stated.
Captain Matheson of Charleston, West Vir
ginia, who was on the train at the time, identi
fed both Forgey and Collins as the guilty
parties The chain of evidence is complete
and they will both, no doubt, be found guilty
on the trial and receive the punishment they
deserve.
AT Huntington on Monday special grand
jury returned indictments against Thomas
Collins and Burrell Forgey for murder in the
first degree and attempted robbery. 1t is nov
al most certain they viii be tried and yer
dict rendered before Christmas The father
Forgey having declined to employ attor
neys for his defense, the State will appoin
co nsel for him.

Com MERCIAL And FIN ANGLIA
THE GRAIN TRADE-CRoPs. sc.


The Cincinnati Price Current of December
18th says
When the Price Current suggested in its issue
of November "a that the average position of
the growing wheat crop was quite likely some
what better than at corresponding time last
year this view was criticized by many in the
trade, and accepted doubtfully by others. But
is fully confirmed by the Government re-
port this week, giving s7.4 as the average con-
dition of winter wheat on December 1, against
S5.3 last year.
Since the first of December the crop has not
receded in average condition. The moisture
has favored it, and recent SHOWS in many
localities have been serviceable. Still there
are regions where the crop is far from being
in satisfactory condition. Compared with
week ago there is no essential change to note.
The week closed with larger receipts of
wheat in Northwestern markets than the ear
ler portion of the period suggested, and the
visible stocks were further enlarged, reaching
| 75,570,000 bushels in regular warehouses
about II 600, 0G0 in excess of the highest rec
ord in any previous season.
When the known urgency with which far
mers have hurried wheat into market this
season, aided by unusually favorable weather
conditions, the fact that regular warehouses
have acquired u, 900, 900 bushels in excess of
the previous high record does not appear to be
an especially notable matter. 1t is reasonable
to expect that a little later on in the season
this margin will rapidly disappear.
There is continued light offerings of wheat
at the winter grain markets, and in the inter
ior There is also an enlarging call from mill.
ers southwark for supplies in this market and
others centrally situated suggesting that
home supplies have been absorbed, and thai
the demand from those regions will become
more pronounced in the near future. This is
an encouraging feature. Against this, how
ever, is the other fact that Northwestern mill
ers, who have pretty fully foreign markets
are now extending their offerings in domestic
localities where they have not been seeking
business for some time past.
The wheat market at Chicago closes &c OF
December and 1c on May lower than weel
ago, and at the lowest point of the week; TO
December, within &c of the lowest point il
October for that option.
: Speculative interest in wheat is not especi
ally active. The steadiness of the market I'm
