LANES MURDERER CONFESSED.
Chas. n. III. Terrell, a Former Ex-
press Messenger, the Man,


Columbus, O., Aug. 13.-Charles r.
H. Terrell, former employe of the
Adams Express Company has been ar
rested in this city and confessed to the
killing of Messenger Lane and the rob-
berry of the way safe of the Adams Elk
press company on the Pennsylvania
east-bound train last Friday night. One
thousand dollars of the stolen money
was recovered.
Terrell was to have been married
Thursday next to Miss Lillian Costlow,
a daughter of an engineer on the Penn
sylvania line. He had been discharged
from the employ of the Adams Express
Company and confessed that the mot We
of the robbery was to secure money for
the approaching wedding. The money
recovered he had given to Miss Costlow
to keep for him, saying he had saved it
from his earnings.
The confession of Terrell disclosed a.
premeditated and blood-curdling crime
almost impossible to believe. He said
he had become desperate because of his
inability to secure employment and he
came to the conclusion he must have
money to carry on the approaching
marriage. The robbery, including the
murder of Express Messenger Lane,
had been planned carefully Terrell
had no accomplices and no confidantes
to help execute the crime. He knew
that considerable money was always
carried by the messenger between st.
Louis and Columbus, and that he was
certain to secure large sum if he rob
bed the way safe.

TRADE REPORTS.

New York, Aug. 11.-Bradstreet's re.
port on last weeks business is as fol.
lows:
Trade was still exhibiting many of
the irregularities incident to the transit
tion period between midsummer and
early fall trade. Despite the hot wave,
with it's effect on the growing distribu-
tive demand, and also because of the
reports of damage to the corn crop
which 1t has melted, a more cheerful
feeling is perceptible in general trade,
and the booking of fall orders for dry
goods, clothing and hardware at lead
Ing western centers and heavy engage
ments in iron and steel products at
lower prices are of encouraging proper
tions. Prices are not showing the pre-
cipitate declines noted some time ago,
and among the really encouraging fea-
lures is the advance in wheat, mainly
based on improved export inquiry.
Wool was rather firmer than of late,
because of the better inquiry, though
it must be admitted that this steadi-
ness is somewhat at the expense of new
business
Cotton goods partake of the strength
of raw material, and where weakness
is still perceptible in brown cottons,
print cloths and wide sheetings, the
natural corrHtive of reduced produc-
ton is being increasingly sought. 1t
has been remarkable year in cotton
and cotton goods, and although the
goods market is comparatively weaker
than the raw material, a great deal
hinges on the next months business in
dry goods circles. 1t is regarded as
certain that with a II ,000, 000-bale crop
values will be maintained at prices
lower, 1t is true, than the present quo
tations for raw material, but still high
when compared with last or previous
years range. The spring eight weight
season has opened with prices 21sc to
&c higher than year ago, and much de-
ponds on buyers in guiding manufac-
turers to purchases of raw material,
While the dry goods demand as a whole
Is still classed as backward for the sea-
son, the hot weather is credited with
some of the responsibility, and the
trade attitude as rule is one of hope
full expectancy.
An immense business in steel pro-
ducts Is reported booked at Pittsburg
and Chicago, and steel bars are really
firmer, with an advance of 81 per ton,
by western manufacturers
who have sold their product up to the
close of the year. Pig iron is still rath-
er neglected, but inquiry for this ma
terial is really better at the south,
largely on large export.
Current production is claimed to be
the lightest for months for more than
a year past, and further announce
ments of shut-downs are scheduled as
far ahead as September 1. A signifi-
can't feature of the trade is the strength
Of structural material A large guam
tity of material is reported required
for railroads, but steel rails are nomi->
nally unchanged at $35 per ton. The
