believed to be In Canada.

MANCHESTER. n. IT,, July % The
Cunningham murder mystery, which has
puzzled for nearly year the officers OF
New Hamrssire AMI Vermont. seems to
be in fair way of being cleared up. The
Mirror, in special from Hanover, pub
lishes the following:
On the morning Of Oct 81, 1892, the
body of James A. Cunningham, Jr,
graduate Of Dartmouth college, class OF
'ss, was found one-half mile from the Oh
cutt (vt) railroad station, on the Boston
and Maine railroad track. The head and
legs were cut of, and all the remains were
easily put In a bushel basket.
Cunningham left White River Junction,
presumably ON the midnight train, with
three companions. bound for Hanover.
His body was found In less than five hours,
and the next day
His Companions Had disappeared.
Nearly 100 feet from the body was pool
of blood as large az hat, but, strange to
cap. there was no blood on the wheels OF
the train that ran over the man, could
any be found at the place where the body
had rested.
A couple OF days afterward Cunning
hams overcoat was discovered two miles
from the body. In it We're two cuts, like
kn1fe stabs, under the loft shoulder, and
one long stab from the right shoulder to
the middle Of the seam of the coat On ex-
animation, similar stabs were found on
Cunningham's undercoat, vest and shirt,
showing quite conclusively that.the muir
del theory had SOME foundation.
While In college Cunningham played
third base ON the varsity nine, and the
Dtudsnts Became Interested
In the case. The authorities offered a
large reward, aud detectives were at once
put upon the case
Not until the present time has anything
been known. Sheriff Peck at Hartford,
VT, said:
II am daily expecting to learn Of the ar
rest OF the Cunningham murderer. The
detectives have followed the case carefully,
and now are hot on the trail of the man.
He is not in this part Of the country, but
will probably be landed this week."

of general trade conditions throughout the
country indicates the South Atlantic and
Gulf States have suffered no material
change in condition, dullness or exception
ally quiet trade being reported from
almost all points with slight exceptions, a
tendency to improvement being noted at
Memphis, New Orleans and Dallas. The
Pacific coast reports no further financial
or commercial disturbance, and with ex-
cellent crop prospects, freer exports OF
wheat and more liberal loans by the banks
to producers of wheat, particularly in
California, prospects there are relatively
brighter.
East, however, while there Is tendency
TO greater ease In money, as at Boston,
Baltimore, New York and Pittsburg, that
tendency does not include larger or ex-
tended loans. At Philadelphia there is
relatively less ease in financial circles.
Some large manufacturing industries at
the East are beginning to acknowledge the
effect of the continued depression, one or
more large woolen manufactures having
closed temporarily, in addition TO several
cotton factories earlier In the week.
The encouraging feature in iron is con-
tinued reduction of stocks, but quoted iron
prices in most instances are nominal. The
advances in the price Of anthracite Is fol-
lowed by slower movement, while in
most lines of staples quotations have been
forced lower. There is disposition West
