There was a horse and wagon up
about Kurner's paint shop, several
buildings north of the shooting; the
defendants were in Jail when witness
next saw them, after he lost sight Of
them at South street.

Witness was not acquainted with de-
PENDANTS; he was in Wheeling on the
day of the shooting, and at that time
was coming north, at the north end
of the Market street bridge, on a bicy-
Gle; witness first heard two shots fired;
he was going at a good speed on his
wheel; he threw up his head and saw
a man shooting at another; he was
about the edge of the pavement; he
was roughly dressed. but could not
say to his hat; the clothes were faded
and lightish; the man who
was shooting was thirty feet
north of the red telegraph
pole, by the gallery; the man
he was shooting at was on the pave
ment; did not notice a bandage on the
mans face; saw the shabily-dressed
man fire four or five shots: saw other
persons-one was standing right at the
scene, and another by the e d of the
bridge; one of them was right by the
gallery door when the shooting was
going on, and he grabbed the man who
was falling; witness stopped about ten
feet from the telegraph pole, where he
jumped from his wheel; the man who
caught the wounded man eased him
down to the ground; the man who did
the shooting ran, and witness saw him
no more, as he went to the wounded
man: the man who did the shooting
took his revolver with him

Capt. DOVener asked witness a great
many questions, mainly based on the
evidence before the Coroner's jury, as
to details of the actual shooting, the
positions of the men, etc, and this part
Of the examination occupied consid-
cradle amount of time. The net result
was that witness said he had changed
his mind, since the Coroner's inquest,
as to the relative positions of his COM

Witness was asked whether the shot
which hit the door of the photograph
gallery could have been fred by any
one in the street and north of the door,

best type of the "hay-foot, straw.foot" sol.

ious than anyone to become an officer.
He pleaded with the colonel so long that
the latter finally told him if he would secure

do when there was vacancy among the Off
GERS. Campbell bought book on tactics
and stayed up late at night to learn its con-

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The VOume lOf Trade In Larger Than
Ever and Reports Say 1t IL
Constantly Increasing.

New York, Aug. 27.-R. g. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review Of trade, say:
1.-The volume OF business reflected in ex-
changes at the principal clearing houses
is 20.4 per cent. larger than last year. and
26.8 per cent. larger than In 1892. heretofore
the year Of largest business and highest
prosperity ever known. Part Of this in
crease was due to speculation at New
York. but there remains a healthy increase
over the best of previous years, and though
in some branches business is not satisfac-
tory in character. In nearly all 1t Is in VOL
ume larger than ever before. No unfavor-
able change apr ears in the prospect OF
crops. upon which the welfare of the coun-
try SO largely depends. nor Is there present
or threatening financial disturbance. Eu-
rope has not wearied Of buying American
securities. although some SPECTATORS have
OF confidence among American investors.
wheat goes down three cents for the
week. as II there were no foreign demand
coming, the obvious concert of farmers to
keep back wheat, the crop being certainly
very large. tending to encourage a consoir-
acy of traders against them. which thus far
has entire control of the market.
1.-THE output of iron and steel no longer
measures the demand. and the stipulated
stoppage Of furnaces In the Shenango and
Mahoning valleys has raised the price Of
grey forge to $9.25. without any certainty
whatever that such prices can be MAIN
tained when the valley furnaces resume
operations. as some of them are now do
ing.
Failures for the week have been l79 in
the United States. against 223 last year. and
26 in Canada. against "a last year."

You love couch cushions. You have

that there can be nothing new under

is-a delicious suggestion which you

now, because clover is coming and you
girls will all want to make one"
This is her recipe:
Arm yourself with broad brimmed
hat and pair of shears and take
along couple of clean. empty sacks.
Cut off the finest sprays of clover
bloom and with these mix about half
as many leaves. Avoid hard stems
and sticks. Fill your sacks.
When your sack is tied and full put
it on the grass where the sun can best
shine upon it. You will find by the
time the second bag is stuffed the con-
tents. of the first one will have wilted
to one-half size. The bag will need
refilling. r.

Spread the blossoms out evenly and
cover with second sheet. Let them
remain there for several days. Shake
them up and respread them several
times each day until the leaves crackle
when pushed between the fingers. They
will then be ready for the pillow.
