i've Market.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Owing to the develop
ments disclosed at the meeting Of the whisky
trust on Saturday the general expectation Of a
further break in the price Of the certificates led
to large crowd and considerable excitement at
the opening of business this morning. The first
prices showed loss Of per cent from Satur-
days close, and on extremely heavy transact
tions per cent more was taken from the price,
the loss at 3S being per cent. Supporting or
ders, rather SYSTEMATICALLY displayed, rallied the
stock promptly, however, and it again reached
43, retiring at over per cent from that point
in the late dealings
Sugar was also very active. but displayed a
strong tone, and opening up 4 at 1881 rose TO
1907. There was little left Of the excitement
in tobacco, and after touching 11S again it
fuctuated within fractional limits. Chicago
gas, however was pressed for sale. and opening
down IL per cent at 80 it retired at SO. Among
railroad stocks there was little or no feature,
quiet business and small fluctuations being
the rule. though some activity in st. Paul.
Union Pacific, Rock Island and Burlington was
noted. without material change in their prices
though the break in distillers created a de-
clining tendency in the early dealings. Western
Union was weak point, opening down q at
$50 and retiring per cent further. with a re-
covery to something above the opening price,
firm at close to opening prices sia
Trading in stocks after IL o'clock was narrow,
but Reading. New England and the industrials
showed considerable animation with dropping
tendency, and New England at 49, showed a
loss of Is per cent. The industrials especially
sugar and distillers. were well supported and
sugar reached slightly higher prices. The re-
mainder of the market was entirely without
feature, and at noon it was comparatively quiet
but firmer, generally at something below the
opening figures.
Money on call was easy at 115a2 per cent.

STORY OF AN ArRocIoUs CRIME.

The crime was discovered on April 6. 1872.
Madam Rails daughter, who was e member of
the French company then performing at the
st. James Theater, arrived from Paris
early on that morning. and on present
ing herself at No. Is Park lane was informed
that her mother was absent. 1t soon dis
covered that certain doors we're locked and the
keys were missing aud that the cook could not
be found. This led to an examination
of Madame Riel was found in the
pantry, opened with duplicate keys in the pos
session Of the young lady. Her death appeared
to have been caused by strangulation, as the
neck, though there were marks of ex-
treme violence on other parts of the
body. An examination of the safe showed that
the murder had been accompanied by the rob-
berry OF gold. bank notes. French bonds and
railway shares.
gurite Dixblanc, Belgian by birth, put some
time resident in Verdun and in Paris for short
period during the reign of the commune
She was known to have been in the house
alone with her mistress on the forenoon of Sun
day, the 7th. left it stealthily IN the evening.
and was traced as a passenger to Paris by the
continen tal mail train.
further clue to her movements there was
soon obtained by letter written day before
the murder, wherein Dixblanc indicated to the
Sieur Dubois that she expected to be in Paris
soon. 1t had been misdrected to Rue Saint
Denis instead OF Rue Du Port st. Denis, and
was in ordinary course opened by the post office
authorities for the purpose Of being returned
to the writer.
On the detectives presenting themselves at
the house Of Dubois, Dixblanc was found en-
gagged in the task Of measuring out charcoal and
talking at the same time, it is said. of the hor-
rors OF the Park lane murder. She sought to
evade apprehension for brief period, but in
the end confessed having committed the crime,
and even gave an account of the manner in
which it was accomplished
ls'I first tried, she said, "to conceal the BODY
in the. dust bin, but l could not then took
it by the feet, but being unable to drag it, got
cord and passed it around her waist. Finding
the body bent double l put itround her neck.
At this moment the housemaid, who was out on
an errand, knocked at the door. l sent her
away for beer. Then tried to drag the body
upstairs, but could not, and hid it in the
CELLAR,
Dixblanc described the robbery as an afte--
thought. suggested. she said. by the keys fall
ing from Madame Kiers pocket. Extradition
treaties having been complied with, she was
brought over In custody to London, and after
various examinations committed for trial
The murderess was convicted to death, but
the jury recommended her to mercy on the
presumption that the murder had been pre-
coded by q quarrel between Dixblanc and Mad
anne Riel and was therefore not premediated.
The, authorities gave effect to the recommends
ton by committing the sentence to imprison-
ment for life.
