CONDITION OF THE WOOL TRADE.
Boston, January 1.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-
morrow Of the wool trade:
The sales in the three principal
markets Of the country in the last week
of 1898, have amounted TO 12213,OOO
pounds, nearly 100000 pounds Of
which were domestic stock Of every
known description. This wool has been
sold on the average at prices . per cent.
in advance of the pre-Christmas sell
ing rates, and at least four-fifths of it
has gone into consumption. Never
theless. the stock purchased last. week
was all bought cheap, and was good
property, even at the utmost advance
paid for any particular class Of wool.
While a large pert OF the business has
been done with the wOrsted people, the
wooden manufacturer has been Wen re-
presented which is regarded on all
hands as a healthy symptom.
In Boston, S.156,0O0 pounds, around
six million pounds. of which was do
nestle is the market record for the
last week of 1895. The year went out
without excitement, with the market
firm on all kinds Of wool.

Pittsburg, January ALBERT Wood
ley, who is to be hanged tomorrow for
the murder of Mrs. Buchanan, a young
widow to whom he was engaged to be
married, to-day made a statement to
his spiritual advisers, Revs. Donahue
and Skillings.
He thanks the newspapers for their
fair treatment of his case, and the
court and Jail officials for their kind
ness since his arrest and conviction.
He makes special request that Revs.
DOnahue and Skillings attend the exc
cution and that after the body is pro-
nounced dead by the physicians, they
feel the pulse and make assurance
doubly sure that he is dead. after which
the reverend gentlemen are TO conceal
the discOlOration which the rope makes
about Woodley's neck and see that he
is presentably laid out in his coffin: see
that the coffin lid is securely fastened,
and at the grave, just before interment,
open the coffin again TO make certain
that dummy has not been by any
means substituted.
The murderer declares himself alb
normally afraid Of the dissecting knife
and fears that means may be resorted
to which would put his body in the
hands Of medical students.
AS TO HIS LIFE AND CRIME,
Woodley states that he is a respectable
family in the East and had Christian
training. He would not give his for
mer residence, because his parents are
still living. He states that the shoot
ing of Mrs. Buchanan is the only act
of his life that he has t0Tegret. On the
morning of the murder he was crazy
from drink, having been drunk for
three days previous On that morning,
after smoking a cigar with Mr.. McCon-
nell. the wOmans father, in a front
room, he went into the kitchen and
shot his intended wife, not realizing at
the time what he was doing. He
claims he had no ill will toward the
woman, but on the contrary, loved her
dearly.
He is anxious for the newspaper men
who may attend the execution to know
that he does not fear death and goes 10
the scaffold with the knowledge that
his being hanged is inevitable, and IN
accordance with the law. Should he
appear to tremble while going through
the ordeal. 1t will not be from fright,
he saws but the effect resulting from
the sudden change Of temperature OF
the outside atmosphere from that OF
his cell. where he has been confined Tor
so long time.

San Francisco, January scandal IS
being added to scandal N the sensa-
t.onal developments of the accusations
made by the Rev Charles o. Brown
against Mrs. Mary Davidson. The
reverend gentleman declares that he is
no new victim of the wiles of blackmail-
ers-the second tine within eighteen
months he has been made the mark Of
such women, who entered his sanctuary
to trap and persecute him.
Nearly two years ago. he declares,
Mrs. NJ. A Stockton, member of his own
congregation, a woman who assumed a
Christian spirit and won friends in the
church, planned upon him a scheme Of
blackmail. which would have succeeded
were it not for timely aid which came
to him from an unexpected source.
Some time after DR.. Brown met Mrs.
Stockton, he says, he received a mes
sage from her. She was on a bed of ILL
ness, she wrote him, and asked him to
call TO give that spiritual consolation
which n his vocation he must render
IL was MS duty to so and ne went. He
had TO more than entered the room,
he declares, than Mrs Stockton sprang
toward him and throwing
HER ARMS ABOUT HIM,
kissed him. He was dumbfounded at
the suddenness Of the attack and horri-
fed at the Offense of the woman.
Before he could release himself a
confederate of Mrs. Stockton was in the
room. a smiling spectator Of the scene
Or. Brown says he realized that he was
trapped He left the room as rapidly
as possilko Distressed and excited, he
declares le did not know what 10 do
He could not evade an understanding
Of the wOman's motive but he says he
did not feel able TO tell his congrega-
tion. He could do no more than await
developments and strive TO defeat the
schemer's plans. With his distressing
meeting with Mrs. Stockton his associ-
alton with her, he says, ceased. He
had absolutely nothing moro to do With
her and although she continued to at
tend the First Congregational Church,
he did not care to assume the duty of
exposing her.
Although he could do nothing him
self. he had friends who were active in
his behalf Mrs. Stockton had a law
yer. and if his sworn affidavit be truth,
Mrs. Stockton was not only trapped in
her game upon DR.. Brown but in two
others in which she hoped to make
large sums of money. Mrs. Stockton
is still a member of the First Congre-
gational Church, of which DR.. Brown is
pastor.
