New York, June S.-The dry goods

cessions in cotton dress goods and prints

oped trading to considerable extent.

cottons there is no activity and the mar

COTTON.
New York. June S.-Crop news proved
too conflicting to have pronounced in
fluence either one way or the other. In
the absence of important changes in the
English market or decisive move in the
political situation the local trade was
disposed to fight shy of the market, re-
Sulting i'll a narrow, featureless bust
ness. The opening was about steady.
at last nights prices. Shortly after the
call there was some liquidation of old
long accounts, started by claims that the
crop was in fine condition as a rule.
Subsequently, however, the market de-
veloped quite a firm undeFtone on mod
crate covering by local shorts and some
new buying, on claims that rain was
needed. The close of the market was
dull with prices / point lower to 2 points
net higher.

CAUSED A SENSATION.

tyler GavIett, Who Was Reported Dead,
Returns and Causes An SOrtA of Trouble.
GALENA, Kan. Feb. 7.-Great excite
ment prevails over the appearance in
this city of Tyler Gaviett, who disap-
peared in Marcn last from the Windsor
stock farm, owned by Scion H. Cheney,
one of the most prominent citizens of
the county. Neigh bors took charge of
Gaviett's crop and other property, dis
posed of it and started the report that
Cheney had murdered him. The APP
pearance of Gaviett removes the cloud
from Cheney and leaves his accusers in
a bad predicament. The opinion now
is that the whole thing was scheme
to blackmail Mr.. Cheney. Gaviett has
secured legal counsel and will have
several parties arrested on charges of
stealing his property.

Der. They say he was certainly the
companion and accomplish of Redmond
in the murder, but that Redmond fired
the fatal shot. A portion of the
public, however, believes that the
police and railroad and express com
pany detectives, who have been
working on the case with the police,
have overreached themselves in their
efforts to fasten the crime on Kennedy.
Yet the mass of the public believes
him guilty and the evidence in this
direction seems very strong. Careful
investigation shows that Kennedy has
very complete alibi, which was vol
unteered in his behalf by people of
apparently good reputation and stand
ing in the community.
