Despite the stringent instructions of
the judge to the contrary, there was 4
murmur Of approval IN the room ard
a few applauded By clapping their
hands. The prisoner sat motionless,
his eyes fixed on a table before him.
There was not the slightest visible
trace of emotion in any feature, and
he walked from the court room back
to his cell with 4 firm and even step.
Neither Mrs. Bryan nor Mrs. Jack

When court recOnvened for the after

an arrest of Judgment on the ground
that the indictment did not state

overruled. Col. Crawford then moved
that a new trial be granted the pris-

DUElS AND OUEliSTS.

Fighting Fitzgerald wGs successful
In IS duels before it was discovered that
he always wore a coat OF mail. For
years his fame in society had rested on
his invariable success rs n duelist, and
this discovery was his undoing.
The most tragic duel in England was
between Lord Byron, g~rand-uncle Of the
poet, and a kinsman. II was fought in
a tavern room by the light of one
tallow candle. Lord Byron was tried
Cor murder, but got off on man
slaughter. from the penalties Of which
he escaped because he was @ peer of the
realm.
No duel;st could ever be made smile
over the famous story of the English
man and Freedman who were 10 fight
q duel in 4 pitch-darll room. Not wish
ing to kill his man, the Englishman
fired up the chimney when the word
was given. and, to his surprise, brought
down the Frepchnan, who had hidden
there. When this story is told in
France it is always the Englishman
who is up the chimney.
During the ~occuraticc Of Paris by
the allies there were duels every day,
the Frenchmcn usually being the chal-
lengers and the v~ictors, as they were
very skillful with the small sword.
Sometimes, however, they made a mis-
take, as when they jecred at an Eng
lish officer over losing his leg at Water
loo. The jeerer discovered that the loss
of his leg did not interfere in the least
with the EnSlishman's aim.

NEW YORK, May i6-R. G. Dun &
Co. say to-day:
Failures for the week have been 224
in the United States, against I'll last
year, and 50 in Canada, against 81 last
year.
1t is now the middle of May, too late
for business to change materially I'M
til the prospects of coming crops are
assured and definite shape has been
given to the presidential contest by
the conventions. Until the future is
more clear there is a prudent disincli-
nation to produce much beyond orders
or to order beyond immediate and
certain needs. If this waiting spirit
prevails two months longer. it will
crowd into the last half Of the year an
enormous business if the outlook then
is good.
For the present there is less bust.

branches more, and the delay follow

Speculative markets are compare
lively inactive, but the stock market
is stagnant and the average price OF
railroad stocks has declined less than
one per cent. for the week and the
average of trust stocks only about
half of L per cent.
An attempt was made to manufac.
ture cXcitementin cotton out of the
government report. but the price
closed exactly as it began the week,
and the port receipts have been actu-
ally larger than last year.
All current arguments based on the

maximum rate are disproved by the
closing of many mills.
As the mill stocks in northern mills
al" also abroad are much larger thar
usual. calculations which ignore these
tend to deceive, and the total supplies
are greater than requirements for
four months consumption, even at
the maximum rate.
