BraGStreet's Review of Trade,

New York, July 14-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Midsummer influence still govern
gsnelal trade and industry; but better
weather and crop reports make for
quite optimistic trade reports in the
surplus cereal producing sections of
the west. Very favorable reports AS
to fall trade orders cOme from nearly
all points west of the Alleghanies North
of the Ohio river and thence westward
to the Pacific. Large though, except
in a few cases, not record-breaking
crop yields now appear reasonably as
sured in that entire region, and there
is a general agreement that fall bust
ness already booked exceeds a year age
at this date. Less insurance is found
in the report from the western half IF
the south, where it is feared serious
damage has been lone by inces5an1
rains to cotton, wheat and other crops,
thus partically offsetting the favorable
influences of the recent heavy advance
in cotton prices.
A point deserving note is the wide
spread activity IN demand for cotton
goods of nearly all kinds, which accepts
steady advances in prices and clamor
for more goods.

Allen would impose sentence Ipon
Rogers and Sorrcil as soon as the ses-
sion began, but attorneys for them ask
ed for a little more time so a few more
names might be added to the petition
for mercy. This was then placed in
the hands Of the attorneys. A prom-
inent business man. who like Rogers
and Sorrell, was 2 Confederate SOL
der, asked the judge for clemency.
The judge said he must punish the men
but would be as lonient as possible un-
der the circumstances. The petition
set forth that Rogers and Sorrell were
old and had served brayely as soldiers
and declared tha+ a month in Jail was
punishment enough and was really for
the same offence as the one they were
convicted OF.
Rogers and Sorrell were before thu
grand jury. Rogers told his attorney
that Sorrell did not deserve punishment
and he (Rogers) would submit to any
inflicted if Sorrell were discharged, as
the latter had at his solicitation gonc to
see Juror MdruOm, who was asked 10
look after the interests of DR.. Kitgo

TRIAL OVER A TURTLE
ExHIBIToRIs IN TROUBLE WITH
DEAcoNS
Marketman Accused of Cruelty In
Piercing captive's FllPpers-0oc-
tors Disagree as to Classification
of the Creature-Varied Testimony

Special to The Herald.
SOUTH NORWALK, Conn.,, Sept. y.
Capt. Charles E. Ducross, the mar
ketman who got the largest turtle ever
brought into Fulton market, New YORK.
and who was arrested, charged with
cruelty to animals, because he placed
the tortoise on exhibition in front of
his market with it's flipers tied over lts
back, was tried before Judge Taylcr'
in the town court, Of Norwalk.
The trial Is without parallel in It's
novelty, involving, as it does, the sus-
ceptibility of turtle to pain, whether
it is a fish or not, and whether II
should be kept stomach up. The turtle
which weighed $40 pounds, was placed
on a stand and Frank H. Osterhaus
and other persons took decided excep-
ton to the little rivulet of blood which
flowed down from the perforations OF
the f1ippers.
They said that Capt. Ducross would
have to build a pen and free the turtle
or be arrested. He submitted to ar
rest and furnished cash bond. For
the defense, Attorney Kenneth Fowler,
manager of Cheeseborough Brothers OF
Fulton market, New York, testified
that turtles were always shipped with
their fiippers tied and that they had
no sense of feeling in their paws.
"Tuhtles are crustaceans, like lob
sters and crabs. They have no cere-
bellum, and as such have no concep-
ton of pain" said DIR. M. L. Cronin,
for the defense.
Turtles are reptiles and have full
fledged brains, heart with valves and
a perfect nerve system" said Dr.
Henry L. Sherer for the state.
DR.. Sherer said there could be nc
blood without pain. Capt. Oscar St
John, who had sailed the Atlantic for
fifty years and had caught hundreds
of turtles. said:
"Tortoises amt got no sense-nc
sense, no pain. They smile when you
cut off their heads"
The church deacons testified 1t al
most made them faint to see the blood
and that the exhibition was cruel tc
them if not to the turtle.
Capt. Ducross said, on the stand. that
the turtle ate porterhouse steak and
he and his family had potatoes; thai
the turtle wore a pleased expression on
his face all the time and was getting
fat.
The turtle is now being kept in pen
