TRIAL FOR BARN BURNING
WILLIAM EDWARDS'S MOTHER TES-
TITLES IN HIS BEHALF.
Attorney Harding and Detective
Thornton in "a ROw-Murderer Fer
riter's Trial in Autumn.

The trial of William Edwards, the col
ored coachman charged with arson, was
continued in the Criminal Court yesterday
The people who are pressing the prosecu-
ton of Edwards say he is a ''pyromaniac."
Yesterday the attorney for Edwards to
show that the accused was not in the
Adams barn when the structure was fired,
put Mrs. Ella Edwards mother of the
prisoner, on the stand. The woman lives
with the family of w. M. Jillson, next door
to Henry Fraser where Edwards was en-
ployed as coachman. The witness said she
was aroused the night of the fire by two
pistol shots, and ran to a window looking
out into Mr.. Frasers yard. She said her
attention was attracted by two persons who
ran out of the Fraser barn. One was her
son William, and the other was a woman
She said the woman was very light in color
but she could not say she was white. They
ran across the yard and into the street, and
later she saw her son in the Fraser barn
taking out the horses.
There were a number of barns burned in
the neighborhood of North Delaware street
within two years. ]. c. Adams had two
stables burned, the first taking fire the
night of Nov. Z, 1894. The other stables be-
longed to A. H. and NJ. b. Snow 536 North

Sept. 10, 1885, w. Miller, 1859 North Delaware
street Oct. 4, 1896. Edwards is charged with
setting fire to j. c. AdamSs barn last April.
During the morning a wordy war arose
between Detective Thornton and attorney
Harding, who represents the prisoner.
Thornton was on the witness stand and
was asked if he knew anything of woman
named Jane Strange who, it was alleged,
had been intimate with Edwards, the
coachman. The detective undertook to de-
tail a conversation he had with Waterman
Mcclure concerning this matter, but the at
torney wanted only part of the converse
ton Thornton would tell all or none of it,,
and both became very much excited. Judge
McCray got warmed UP and threatened TO
send some one to JAIL but did not. The
attorney attempted to show by the detec-
tive that the latter had said the woman
had money and wanted to settle the attor-
news fees in the case The detective de-
MED this and asserted that the attorney
told him the Strange woman was putting
up" the money to defend Edwards.

DEALINGS In WALL STREET
Transactions of the Week Lightest
in a Long Period.
Heavy Falling Off of Imports De-
creascs Materially the Gov
ernment Revenue.

New York, Nov 20.-The weekly state
ment of averages of the associated banks
shows an increase OF nearly $3,6o0,OOo in
la wful money, four-fifths OF it ia legal
tenders The character Of the money re
ceived, as well as the fact that there have
been 10 receipts Of specie from abroad
this week, show that the increase in
cash has resulted almost entirely from
the return of money from the interior CD
this center
An increase of nearly $1,000 600 in
the loans can logically be attributed to
the financing Of the purchase OF the
Union Pacific Railroad property by the
reorganization committee. The net re-
suit, ar increase OF nearly 81 $50 ,0oo iii
the surplus reserve, together with the
carefully considered program that has been
arranged for the payments TO the Govern
ment on account OF the Union Pacific pur-
chase, are calculated to allay any fears
that may have existed that the financing
OF that transa cuion might disturb the monsy
market.
The banks now hold in excess OF their
reserve nearly $23, 900, 900. The trans.
actions on the STOCK exchange this week
have been the ugliest in a long time. The

character though toward he end OF TIE
week commission houses appeared as

Tod&y's market was excessively dull and
in tie main heavy Its professional char
acter may be inferred from the fact that
the brokers on the floor OF the exchange
appeared tp take more interest in the
football matches than in the limited deal
ing in securities.

extraordinary falling off in the volume 9f

compared with last week, and also with

There is very little to say about such
market II one said not word nothing
of interest would have been omitted. The
short day yesterday was inordinately dull,
with rarrow fIucHation, induced only by
the professionals, and having no meaning
to any one. few stocks showed small
declines and the remainder of those traded
in trivial gains.
There WAS nothing in the whole day
indicative OF suggestive, except that per-
haps the bulls may take consolation out
OF the fact that there was little If any
selling pressure. TOmouow's market may
be predicted as far as its Importance is
concerned with safety. It will be like

otherwise. Whether the professionals will
