NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET.

NEW YORK. April THE Journal Of

its weekly review Of the dry goods mar
ket says:
The weather is I'm the forefront OF in
nucnce Immediately affecting dry goods
m arket. and as IL has, with the exception
OF a delusive day or two. been OF an UNI
scasonably winter character its effect
has proved decidedly unfavorable. The
local retail business is generally reported
quite backward. and there is nothing in
the various reports coming to hand that
materially better conditions exist else
where. With retail dealers it is not
surprising TO find the Jobbins quiet and
primary dull. to fun expectations OF q
near revival of business growing weaker.
There has been but a moderate attend

WROTE OBSCENE LETTERS
Ed. GOLD INDTCrFD ny the 4. y.
GRisD jury.
Sent Letters to Governor and Mrs 20 'Ferrall
Making Serious Charges Against city
Oliciais and Richmond Lawyers.


The United States District and Circuit
Courts convened yesterday. and the grand
jury was in session until after o'clock.
A large crowd was in attendance, ca
gerry and anxiousiy awaiting some news
In the case of Sanitary Inspector Lamkin.
but the grand jury failed to reach the
case yesterday, and the crowd was dis
appointed. Ii is hardly probable that the
case will DO reached to-day.
This term IL an exceedingly busy one
and there are over thirty indictments TO
so before the grand jury. District-Altor-
noy Lassiter was busily engaged all OF
yesterday in attendance upon the grand
jury.
quite a number Of police officers were
present in court yesterday awaiting news
I'm the Lamhn case. Several OF them had
been summoned as witnesses.
OBSCENE LETTERS.
The grand jury found true bills against
Nelson Winston, charged with violating
the internal revenue laws. ana Edward
Gold. charged with sending obscene let
tiers through the mall.
Considerable interest is attached TO the
latter case. Gold Is a shoemaker and
lives in Norfolk.
before Christmas he wrote Governor
O'Ferral a letter in which he made whole
sale charges OF gross immortality on the
part Of prominent city officials and other
II is-ns of Richmond, naming a we'll
known office building IN the city as Il
rendezvous for these men, ana Wbefe
they commit their offences. He also
claimed that he had been robbed Of his
property by lawyer here.
The Governor raid no attention TO inc
letter.
ANOTHER LETTER.
on January 10th Gold again wrote a
similar letter. ami this time addressed II
TO Mrs OFerrall. but. fortunately, II was
intercepted by the Governor, who called
In Sergeant John 4. Hall and turned
the matter over 70 him.
A few days later Sergeant Hall arrested
Gold in Norfolk. Re admitted writing
the letter. and at the preliminary near
Ing which be had was sent on 70 the
grand jury.
IL also appears that he wrote an obscene
letter TO Mr. Edgar Allan, Jr. Gold y
the man who Eve or six years ago was
arrested for taking and exhibiting nude
pictures of women.
He was convicted upon this charge ana
served a term in prison.
The grand jury will convene again TINS
morning
Gold will probably be brought 10 Rich
mond to-day from Norfolk, where he Is
in Jail.

cast-southeast from Barnegat. A re-
porter today found Salvador ArbOrs.
who had charge of the medical depart
ment of the Hawkins expedition.
He said that the trouble began on the
steamer Hawkins on Sunday night at
II o'clock. In fact she was then in a
sinking condition, but the filibusters
worked manfully to save her and the
ammunition they had on board for their
fighting countrymen. But the vessel
was doomed and the ammunition had
to be thrown into the sea. 1t was go
o'clock on Monday morning when the
steamer went down. There was no
time to save anything that was left of
the property of the iilibusters. 1t was
case of every man for himself in
search of Il place of safety.
There was u rumor about this morn
ing that the ammunition and arms on
board the Hawkins had been trans
ferred to another vessel, and that the
insurgents had then scuttled the ship
on purpose to throw Spanish spies Off
the scent. OF course the Cubans in this
city denied that rumor.

ceed to Turkey and there decide what
to do. Further than this they really
had no plans.
