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

Columbus, o., Aug. 13.-Charles r.
H. Terrell. a former employee 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 Ex-
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 motive
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.

able years can produce $4,000 tons oul
of the 10000 tons consumed annually
and which could double their produc,
ton If the demand warranted it, There
Is no reason to anticipate an increase in
the demand. Therefore a much larger
output will pull down the price consid.
erably. The farmers are warned also
that while broOmcorn is a close relative
of Indian corn, flourishes on the same
soil, and needs much the same kind OF
cultivation, the crop is a precarious
one, and the business requires special
outfit of tools and sheds costing from
$500 to $1,000, which are of little value
for other purposes. The director says
also that the present high prices were
not realized by the grower, nor could
they be established unit, The crop was
practically out Of his hands. Expert.
enced growers have often made fair
profits. Sometimes, however, they,
have received only $50 ton for what
1t cost them $50 a ton to produce.
Farmers will do well to heed the advice
given them, and not rush headlong into
the broomcorn industry because a few
men did so well at it last year.

The subject of diseases in the schools
and the manner and method best
adapted to an effectual suppression Of
the danger to the public health that
emanates from this source is one of
the most important and interesting
problems with which the cities and
communities have to deal. Important
and interesting from the sole fact that
every person living in a city or a COM
munity is directly benefited by everv
measure that contributes to Jesse, ing

mated by an authority on the Inject

contagious diseases might be prevented

an officer of the New York Board of
Health, that the city saves in collins for

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 transi-
ton period between midsummer and
early fall trade Despite the hot wave,
with its effect on the growing distribu-
tive demand, and also because of the
reports of damage to the corn crop
which it has melted, 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
lions. 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 frmer 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 corrective of reduced produc.
ton is being increasingly sought. It
has been a remarkable year in cotton
and cotton goods, and although the
goods market is comparatively weaker
than the raw material, great deal
hinges on the next months business in
dry goods circles. 1t is regarded as
certain that with II 900, 00O-bale crop
values will be maintained at prices
lower, it 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 2bc 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 a rule is one of hope
full expectancy.

ducts is reported booked at Pittsburg

announced by western manufacturers

er neglected but inquiry for this ma

year past, and further announce
ments of shut-downs are scheduled as
far ahead as September 1. A signifi-
cant feature of the trade is the strength

tity of material is reported required

nally unchanged at $35 per ton. The
