ing man about So years old. 4 card
found on him gives his address rs 1881
Rush street, Philadelphia. He is brok-
en-heartcd over his arrest anu incar.
ceration and the knowledge that he is
to be taken back to johnson county and
tried for conspiracy and murder. He
claims he deserted the murderous band
OF cattlemer before their first killing,
but the officers here think that he is
lying about it. He represents that his
parents arc wealthy people OF Philadel-
phia, and he is fearful lest they will
learn OF the fix he is in. He SAYS there
were iifty-two persons in the gang after
they left Casper but several su ubseouent-

was an expedition bent solely on MUIR

inveigled him into the affair, and who
are solely to blame, and throw himself

II G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly ReTlow OF tn
State of Trado.

II G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Rerlow OF the
State Of Trado.
New YORK, April l5.-R. G. Dun L
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: U
During all this year business nows
has been curiously sectional. Western
cities are gaining almost without eScep.
tion doing the largest business ever
known and inclined to resent the sug.
gestion that it is any degree below ex.
pectations. The south all the year has
been struggling with unfavorable con-
ditions doing less business than a year
ago, and looking in vain for q material
change. The east has been doing q
large business, rather less than year
ago, on the whole, but has especially
less than many traders expected to do
this year.
The iron trade illustrates the situa-
tion. The output OF furnaces April lst,
was 1S5, ,462 tons against l03,902 March
lst, and 1888 n vsnr ago, when the
great strike was in progress. The re.
duction in output OF pig is clearly nee.
essary since consumption has been TO-.
900 tons weekly below the output. Un-
sold stocks as officially reported were
132, ,366 tons greater April l, than Janu.
ary first. Yet when this increase is dc.
ducted from the production which has
been 2,500,000 tons in the quarter, tho
remaining consumption appears to be
greater than in the same quarter OF any
previous year. Coal is unchanged and
dull, copper waiting for the expected
combination OF foreign producers; tin
speculatively strong and lead very firm.
Wool sales arc large for the season
and since January have been five per
cent greater than last year, the demand
for goods having somewhat improved,
and for knit goods being far better than
was recently expected. News from
cities is rather better Ms to the east,
cheering as usual from the west, but
somewhat less satisfactory as to the
south. &
The finantial situation is remarkably
free from unfavorablc signs. Collec.
tions in nearly all parts of tho country
are better than usual, though delay Is
seen at some points in the south and
the money markets arc everywhere am
ply supplied.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven, days, number 226 as compared
with totals OF POS last week. For the
corresponding week OF last year, the
figures were 25l.

Gently to elect I county executive COM

little speech said they were there for
