Swarthout was murdered for the money he
vas supposed TO have about him is ,neraly
accepted by the neighbors, but thera are some
who are inclined to believe that he committed
suicide. The deceased was not only prominent

wife by death about eighteen months ago. Re-
Gently his youngest and only remaining
daughter were both married the latter going
away to her husbands home, the former and
his wife and an older son. an invalid, thereafter

man is known to have grieved very much over

tho theory of suicide believe he was led to the
rash deed by dependency.

Welch, now lies in the city hospital

heart The other, William Flannery,
whose nom du theatre is William r.
Gould, occupies a cell at station 4. n con-
fessed murderer.
The weapon used to commit the deed
was an old pattern Colts 4l-caliber re-
volver, and but one pull of the trigger
sufficed to instantly send WEIGH into
another world.
The murderer says the cause of the muir
der was in defense of his wife's good name
and honor and that he meant only to
wound and not to kill. Indeed, it seems
possible that, if Flannery himself had not
used the weapon when he did, his wife
might have done so, as i was from her
hands that he took the revolver with
which the murder was committed, and as
she was advancing toward Welchs room.
If other witnesses are to be believed the
murder was committed in cold blood. At
the time of the shooting, Flannery, clad
only in his night dress, stood in the hall

NEW York, March Ar. q. Dun %
Co. . weekly review says: Neither abroad
nor at home have unfavorable conditions
appeared during the past week. Domestic
trade gradually improved even at the South,
where much OF the trouble seems 10 nave
been due to unwilingness of holders to sell
cotton at low prices, rather than to actuai
loss on such sales. 1t Is still the fact that
the dark spots arc directly caused by over
production. Cotton receipts this week have
beeen light but the price is only 81 with
moderate sales, Efforts to curteil the pro
duction this year appear to meet with some
success.
The only possible remedy for troubles in
the iron trade is to be applied, according TO
dispatches, by the closing of some furnaces
in the Mahoniug and Shenango valleys and
the Chicago district
a better situation appears in textile man
ufactures for cotton mills are well employed
and trade in cotton goods improves all over
the country.
In woollen mills and sales Of wool de
