THE BARFiELD MURDER.
A Woman in Aurora Gives Birth to
Four Children.

Aurora, n. c., Jan. 29.--(SpeciaD-
Investigation of the Barfield murder
has revealed the fact that Barfield dug
the grave Saturday evening, and de
coyed his wife into the woods Sunday,
but being unable to get her near the
grave, he struck her on the head with
an axe, breaking her skull. This was
225 yards from the grave. He then
covered the body up with pine straw.
Later he pulled the body, feet fore
most, to the grave, stopping every few
steps to rest. The blood marked the
track, as he went. He tied her apron
over her head and threw her into the
grave, which was nicely dug, and which
was between three and four feet deep.
The muddy spade was found near by,
also his boots, which were very bloody.
He was detected Monday morning Gov
ering up the grave with leaves. He
has been arrested, and there will an
inquest over the body to-day. The
colored people are very much wrought
up over this cold-blooded murder.
Allen Stilly's wife gave birth to four
children last Saturday.

Prices opened with about 1sc appreciation, which was established on the curb, declined cent, rallied slightly and held steady. December wheat opened from 73A to 7311c, declined to 722sc closing at I2ss Q72Nc, 14c under yesterday. Cash wheas was steady.
 Corn-The opening trade in corn was at higher prices the better quotations of wheat receiving credit for the advance But when wheat declined corn was not particularly weakened and rather inclined to hold steady. There was no trade and some peo- pie aecribed the steadiness to inactivity, May corn opened at 2S4c. sold between 9SA and 255sc closing at 2S5sT23s4c, 1sGDtlc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was steady at yesterdays prices.
 Provisfons-As the hog market exhibited no weakness this morning product enjoyed benefit therefrom, by reason of the reia- tionship existing between the two. Business was slightly more active, some evening for the week and month taking place. At the close January pork was 15c higher, January lard 711c higher and January ribs 71sgl0c higher.
