one morning found murdered in his

thing indicated that robbery was tho
motive OF the crime. but the police could
get no clew to the perpetrators, and the
affair was finally forgotten. The widows

suspecting that she knew more about
her husbands murder than she chose to
tell. One night was called to see her
and found her slightly delirious. She
seemed to be suffering great mental dis

head, and it suddenly occurred to me to
question her regarding her husband 8

two men quarrclinS. l recognized one
as that Of the murdered man, the other
as that of his son. There was the sound
of blow, a fall, and the woman gasped
as if horror-stricken. and lay back on
her pillow as though lifeless. revived

Il. C. Dun & Conpany's weekly review of

There has been general. though moderate.
i'm! rovclnent IN distribution: manufactures
are more fully employed several great la
h>r controversies have ended. and crop re-
ports somewhat more satisfactory.
Moderate exports and better crop reports
lead to lower prices. Wheat receipts at tho
West in four days OF this week have been
1..o5. 1903 bushels. white Atlantic exports
have been only l.l.4.60S bushels and the
price has declined almost cents to sos
cents for August. The certainty that for
ci-n crops, however in doubt as yet, will at
all events lie much letter than those of
last year helps receipts here to ucpresS
prices. Corn is scarce for early delivery,
and crop prospects improve. but SO little
that the price Is unchanged at 63ia cents.
and oats are shade stronger at 80 cents.
Accounts OF cholera in Russia have caused

a fraction. Cotton is further depressed to

room. Asking him if it were not SO. he
replied at once: Not at all; on the
contrary feel the stiffness Of the night

the slightest deviation of any part of
the engine from its proper course. If,

that engine, not the most insignificant
part of its complicated mechanism could
get out of gear, but the change OF sound
