Dan A Company's Weekly EevMew of Trade will say; While -the hesitation in business has not ceased, and decided activity is hardly expected now until after the close of the fiscal year, it continues to be a matter of surprise and congratulation1 that the money markets aud trade have been to well sustained in spite of heavy exports of gold. The exports this week have already been about 54.000,000 and from orders thus far it Is expected that 82,000,000 more will go out Saturday. The exports of products are larger than a year ago. with much difference in imports, but the excess of imports was very largo at this time last year. The New York money market has been easy, rates on call dropping from 3) to 3 per cent, with heavy receipts from the-interior." Ke ports from other cities show that money Is tighter at St.

Seminary. Dr.Fatton to the Contrary, Notwithstanding. New York. June 6. The case of Rev.

DrBriggs is again brought to public attention by the action of the Directors of Union Theological Seminary. They have adopted-the following: "Resolved. That the Board of Directors, after having taken legal advice, and after due consideration, see no reason tit change their views on the subject the transfer of Dr. Briggs, and feel bound in the discharge of their duties tinder the charter and constitution of tho seminary, to adhere to tho same." The Intent of the veto passed by the General Assembly at its recent session in Detroit was that Dr. Briggs should cease be a professor in" Union Seminary.

The effect of tho resolution given above that it is the judgment of the Directors that the veto was a usurpation of powers never given or intended to be given to the General Assembly, and that, since the veto was illegal, the appointment stands, and Dr. Brings will continue a professor during tho coming year as during the past seventeen years. AGRICULTURAL. RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS AT THE OHIO STATION. Deep and Shallow Planting: of Corn Whey of Milk a Feed for Piffa Its Value and Bent Man- nerof Use.

Prepared Exclusively for the Central Prett Jasociatiun, vf Columbus, 0., by the Okim Agricultural xverimen SiatitOJu Bulletin No. 14 of the Missouri experiment station (Columbia), is devoted to a report on experiments with corn made in lP'JO. In these experiments a trial of deep and shallow tillage gave an increase over fourteen bushel3 por acre, or twenty-one por cent, of the entire yield, in favor of shallow tillage in 1SS9, and nearly thirteen bushels, or thirty per cent, of the yield in 1890. The implement used for shallow tillage was made expressly for this experiment, and has a number of knives running an Inch or more under tne surface, loosening tho soil and effectually destroying the weeds In its path, but not lifting the soil suftlc-iently to cover the weeds in the h'll unless quite small. The Illinois experiment station at Champaign has made similar experiments, in.

which the average increase in favor ollhallow culturo was nearly eight bushels per acre over a period of three years. The Ohio experiment station has conducted similar experiments, using a cultivator not sk well adapted to the pur pose as tho one but with re- ults also In favor of shallow tillage. The Missouri bulletin, already quoted. also reports a secies of experiments instituted for the purpose of determining the most profitable amount of culture for corn. Tho results of these experiments, and they are in harmony with similar tests made at tho experiment stations of Illinois, New York and Ohio, indicate that nothing is gained by cultivating incessantly.

If the weeds are kept down and the ground Is cultivated sufficiently to prevent a hard crust forming two or three workings will produce as large a yield as half a dozen. Four trials were coudncted at the Wisconsin experiment station during the fall of 1390-91, for the purpose of ascertaining the value of sweet whey for pig feed-ins. The results of these trials show: First We were not successful in maintaining pigs on whey alone. Second Pigs fed cn corn meal and shorts with water required 552 pounds of the mixture for 100 pounds of grain. 1 Third When, whey was added to the corn meal and shorts mixture, it produced a marked saving in tho amount of grain required for good gains.

This was true for mixtures varyintr from two pounds of whey to one of grain, up to ten pounds of whey to one of grain. Fourth It was found when using whey as a partial substitute for grain, that 760 pounds of whey effected a saving of 100 pounds of the corn meal and shorts mixture. Fifth. Using these figures, if corn meal and shorts are valued" at $12 per ton, then whey is worth eight cents per hundred pounds; at per ton for the corn meal and shorts, whey would be worth ten cents per hundred weight. Sitth.

Shorts, pea meal and oil meal, or like feeds, should be mixed with whey for growing animals. Some corn may be fed at all times, the proportion Increasing as the animal approaches maturity.

GOOD MONEY INVESTED IS GREEN GOODS, Bat the Little Valise Yielded Nothing- More Than a Pile of Bricks to the Astonished Pur- chasers. New abk, N. June Two men, one of whom carried a satchel, were noticed by the police acting suspiciously, and they arrested them.

At the police station they said thev were Wm. F. Taylor, of Allegheny, N. and Wilder-niont Perkins, of Allegheny, Pa. The latter had SU57 in his possassion.and Taylor carried a bag, which, npon being opened, was found to contain brick.

Upon seeing this Taylor exclaimed, "My God. I'm ruined," and sank iu hU chair. He had no money. He said he had met some "green goods" men by appointment in Hoboken. and had bought $4,000 worth with S400 of good money.

The alleged "green goods" were placed in his bag. and he was told not to open it until he walkod out of town, If he did so the po- nc wuuiu reriainiy get onio it. rne cuupio rt'icueu -ewarn wituout looking Into the bag. Perkins had intended to Invest $roo. but became alitto suspicious at the Hoboken hotel and had concluded to hold on to his money.

At police headquarters the two men looked over the rogues gallery, and Taylor recognized the picture of "Nate" Sippel, a notorious "green goods" operator, as that of the man who had swindled him. Taylor accompanied a detective to Jersey City to consult with Chief of Police Donovan, and Perkins took the train for home. SERIOUS MISTAKE Made by the Clerks in the Last General Assembly. CoMTMutrs, Juno 6. The section of the Revised Statutes limiting taxation in municipalities was amended last winter, and in enrolling tho act the clerks tnado a serious wisuke almost a repetition of a mistako made last year when Toledo was left out of the statute and there was practically no limit, so far as the law was to tho taxation possible there.

Last winter the legislature croated a new grade for cities third grade A of the first class. Springfield is the only city belonging to this grade, and wbea the municipal tax section of the statutes was amended, the' intention was to limit the taxes in Springfield to ten mills on the dollar. In the engrossed bill the change was properly made, but In the enrolled biil, which is the law, the serious mistake referred to was made. The clerk who enrolled the bill left om the letter and Springfield therefore has no legal limit of tax for municipal purposes. The enrolled bill contains two items for the limitation of tax for municipal purpose in citiej of the third grade, second class, one making the limit eight and the other makiug the limit tea mills.

The latter was intended for Springfield, but owing tne clerical duesi not apply to that city. COLLEGE CONTESTS. Dcnison Wins in the Inter-Collejriate Field Day Exercises. CoicatBUs, June ft. The Ohio Inter-Collegia Athletic As sociation held a most successful meeting here.

PHii.AiEt,rmA, June 0. -Jennie Yonnj aged eigbUten years, of Olncy, was at an early hour found in a dazed condition at Fourth and York streets by Policeman Heath. Failing to get a satisfactory story from her, he took her to tho station house and placed her under the charge of the matron.

On going in the doer was shut and locked behind her, and she was made a prisoner. Here she was kept for an hour with the man, who made' know to her in brutal tones the object of her confinement.

The girl fought desporately against tho man's advances, but her strength gave way tOf the power of her captor. After tho first! brute had tortured the frail girl and quered her be hastily left the room. One by one tho other men entered until the poor girl had been made the victim of, th nine brutes who occupied tho outer room.

Th Betting- Limit of the Prtnco of Wales Set" F1v. Ilnndrsd Comment Loxdox, June It was announced la these cablegrams lata yesterday, that at the close of Sir Charles Rhussell's plea the baccarat case was adjourned until Monday. During the day toe document signed by Sir William Gordon Cumming was produced. It reads: "In consideration of the promise made by the gentlemen whose names are here subscribed to preserve, silence with re- gard to the accusation which has been 'Muade in regard to my conduct at baccarat on the; nights of Monday and Tuesday, the 8th and 9th of September, 1890, at Tranby Croft, I will, on my part, solemnly undertake never to play cards again as long as I live." In addition to the signature of Sir William Gordon dimming there were attached to the document, the wording of which Is given above, the following signatures: Albert Edward, Owen Williams, Coventry, Edward Somerset, Arthur Somerset, Arthur Wilson, John Wilson, Lycett Green, Berkely Levett, liuben Sasseen. 1 This la the document that has been held by the Prince of Wales.

In his testimony Earl Coveutry said: "When the plaintiff was shown the document, which he was asked to sign as the price of silence upon the part of the Tranby Croft baccarat party, and in which the plaln-titr agreed never to play cards again, Sir William said: 'Why this Is tantamount to an admission of guilt. I won't sign "To this we replied," said the Earl gravely and sententiously, "that is so; but there Is no hurry about It" "Sir William Gordon Cumming strongly denied the accusation, but perceiving that the evidence against him was of an overwhelming character, placed himself unreservedly in our hands, agreeing to do as we should advise, and later feigned the u'ieument," n. v-i. T.ik..a tends this to his paper: "Whether the play was fair or knavish at Tranby Croft, it was pretty high and exceedingly demoralizing. It is a revelation of life in an English country house, and of the social environment of royalty, which will tend to embitter radical criticism of the tendencies of monarchical institutions, and tho aristocratic prestige." The betting limit at the game of baccarat was 100 or 5.100.

TIIE JURISDICTION OP THE UNITED STATES LAW Oyer That of Ohio Involved la the Arrest of Two Burjrlars at Lancaster The Sheriff Threat- eued with Contempt. CoLfsmrs, Juno A very peculiar case a to the authority to hold a pair burglars has devel oped in Lancaster. Last April Charles and William Davis, two hard characters, were arrested for burglarizing, a store and postollice at Amanda, a hamlet In Fairlicld Co. Warrants were Issued by Justice Kiefaber, of Clear creek township, and in default of 500 bail the men were jailod at Lancaster. The United States grand Jury indicted the men for burglarizing lite postollice, and a capias was placed in the bauds of Deputies Pollard and Rollison to secure them.

The deputies were refused tho prisoners by Sheritl Amos Lean, of Fairtield county upon the advice of Prosecutor John M. 'Wright. Tho question Involved was the Jurisdiction of tho United States or the state of Ohio in holding the men, and that the latter possessed tho authority was tho attorney's decision. Upon being threatened with prosecution In contempt of tho United States court Sheriff Lovon sent the attorney to this city to consult with Judge Sage, of the United States court, but both ho and District Attorney Huron were out of the city and no opinion was secured. The sher ill still holds the prisoners, but is very much afraid of being held in contempt aud may give them up.

Republican Members Object to the Action of tho Democratic Oancus- The most interesting question with which the City Council had to deal last evening was brought up when an ordinance was introduced which provided for a reduction of the salary of the Public Employment officer from $1,000 per annum to $300. Schuster stated that under the law no officer's salary can bo cut' down during his term of ollice after the amount of salary has once been fixed. He asked for the opinion of the city attorney. The latter stated that the point made by Mr. Schuster was good, but that the question as to Mr.

Kane depended upon the length of time for which ho was appointed. Mr. Schuster stated it was not right to reduce Mr. Kane's salary; that the reduction would simply have the effect of abolishing the bureau in this city. Mr.

Kalbfleisch stated that one of the duties of tho Superintendent of the Bureau was to visit factories, and ascertain who was iu need of employes, but that Mr. Kano had never this. He did not know of anybody for whom Mr. Kane had ever procured employment. Mr.

Glaser replied that Mr. Kane had often procured laborers for him. Mr. Schuster stated that tho reports made out weekly by Mr. Kane show that from 20 to 30 persons, male and female, are being furnished with imploymeut every day.

Mr. Deis stated that Mr. Kano had "doctored" his reports, and sent them to Commissioner McUride, at the time Miss Larkin was a clerk in the office, showing that as high as twenty or thirty persons had been furnished employment, while as a matter of fact, as shown by the books kept by Miss Larkin, there were notover three or four who were aided in securing employment through tho bureau. Mr. Kalbfleisch remarked that if as many persons had been given employment as Mr.

Schuster had staled, nobody would ever be out of work. Mr. Hobau wished to know why Council wished to reduce Mr. Kane's salary. He had met Mr.Kanein factories seeking employment for mechanics aud laborers, and ho believed S1.000 a year was as little as he ought to be paid.

Mr. Adams moved that the matter bo referred to the Committee on Law. Mr. Bolau inquired why reiorts are not published now, as they used to be before Mr." Kane was exposed. Mr.

"Kane, he said, has not been giving satisfaction. Mr. McBride, the Commissioner, made an inspection of the office, and acknowledged that it was being seaudaloualy run by Mr. Kane, yet Mr. McBride has not seen fit to remove him.

After some little further discussion Mr. Adams motion to refer was adopted. Subsequently the following resolution wss adopted: By Mr. Adainsc-Whereas, The City Council of the city of Dayton did, on the STihdayof June, the salary of tho Superintendent of tho Free Empluymeut office, appointed for the city of Dayton by State Commissioner McBride; and Wiieukas, Said officer not being satisfactory to the citizens and the City Council of the city of Dayton; and, Wiiekeas, Tho term of said office will expire within a short period, therefore. be it ticsoirca, vy tne city vouncii ot me City of Dayton, that State Commissioner McBride be and is hereby requested to fill the office of said superintendent by some other person, as this City Council will not fix a salary for said office for the next ensuing year, and bo it further lifnoh fii.

Steger nominated Mr. Charles Kamralh for the office. On motion of Mr. Adams the rules wp re suspended, and Mr. Kamrath was elected lteports.

Among the reports was one from the Committee on Steam Railroads recommending that 1 he application of the 1). fe railroad to lay a side traelt across East first street.

Mr. Matthews said that, as he understood it.the oil company would erect their tank just as soon as tho matter of a side track was settled.

The Loyal Old Scotchman Still Lingers on the Brink of the Grave, and a Tory Leader Must be Had- Ottawa, June 6. That there is no one in Canada who can fill the place occupied by Sir John Macdonald has for years been an accepted axiom of Canadian politics. But as in the case of Oliver Wendell Holmes, of diminutive size, who remarked when called npon to speak on a public occasion instead of Ru-fus Choate, of herculean frame, that he could not fill Mr. Choate's place, but would try and rattle around in It.

Someone must soon be chosen to wear tho dying statesman's mantle. Though the garment be ridiculously large for other shoulders, an Indulgent Tory following will perhaps for a time bear with the Lilliputian who will seek to don the apparel of Brobdignag. Sir Charles Tupper, who is mentioned for the Premiership, is now In London, but will doubtless hasten to Ottawa to assume; the premiership of the Tory party. Sir Charles was born in Amherst, N. studied medicine, which he practiced with success, entered politics, and became Premier of Xova Scotia in 1864.

He was successively President of IhoTrivy Council for the Dominion, and Minister of Inland lievenue. In 1ST3 he was made Miuister of Customs; 1873-79, Minister of'1-Public Works; and in Minister of Railways and Canals. From 1883 to 1887, Sir Charles was Canadian High Commissioner in London, and on his return to Ottawa, became Minister of Finance. Recently Sir Charles was again dispatched to London in a diplomatic capacity. THE LOYAL SCOTCHMAN.

Much has beer said in favor of both; hut, upon the whole, we prefer the "sultan of the barn-yard" to the "aerial king." Sentimentally considered, the eagle is a surprising creature. Like A jax, he defies the lightning; and like Diogenes, he loves the sun. By nature a cruel and remorseless tyrant, he is, nevertheless, the symbol of liberty a paradoxical coincidence which aptly illustrates the proverb that extremes meet. Bat of what use is he? That's the question. Depicted with the "star-spangled banner" in his beak, forked lightnings in his talons and a tri-colored stellar vest on his thorax, he makes a fine appearance in heraldic blazonry; but that he has ever done anything1 magnanimous or benevolent we have yet to learn.

He is the enemy of innocence, as embodied in the lamb; and unless tradition has done him injustice, has an ogreish hankering1 after little babies. His scream, of which the poets have so much to say. is simply the yell of an assassin in the act of dashing npon a helpless, unresisting victim. No part of him can be utilized to advantage. The goose furnishes better quills than he, and his flesh is as tough as the fables that have been invented in his honor.

What a pleasing1 contrast does the bird we delight to prey upon present to this inedible bird of prey. He a vain fowl, it must be confessed, and vaunteth himself in the barn-yard; but doth he overvalue his own importance? Verily, no. Are those boastful ''aspirations of forced breath" in which he indulges, as with erect plumes and protuberant chest he struts before his dames, unwarranted? Who that hath luxuriated on his roasted corpus will venture to say so? If ever creature had a right to be "puffed up" it is he. Roast or broiled or boned" he is a fowl that not even an infidel could refuse to ask a blessing on. Your eagle is all very well for coats of arms, but coats of the stomach there i3 nothing like the turkey, lie has now figured in Epicuran annals over three hundred years, and his history during that period has been illustrated with innumerable plates.

X. Y. Ledger. A lie never stops to pat on its hat fit wij i'-T Columbus, June 6. The work of securing a jury In ths great murder trial was declared at an end shortly before 11 o'clock a.

m. Criminal Clerk Mitchell then administered the oath to the Jurymen, and the trial proper was commenced. Prosecutor Huiing made a clear, concise and complete statement of what the court and the Jury would be called upon to hear and decide in behalf of the state. Tho speech of the prosecutor was the. feature of the day, being the roost intensely interesting procedure thus far made in tho case.

The defense, in the afternoon, added another new chapter of thrilling Interest by submitting an outline of what they claim to contemplate showing in behalf of the- prisoner at tho bar. Bailiff Thrall returned with Juror Longbridge in good season and the report was made to ths court that he had succeeded In getting one of his neighbors to take chargo of his farm during his absence. This is the juror that complained of heart trouble duo to rheumatism, and Judge PughhadDr. E. J.

Wilson to hold an examination. Dr. Wilson reported that the affliction was not of a serious and thore would be no danger of the juror being incapacitated at any time during the trial. Tho panel being full the court announced to the attorneys that the jury was ready to be sworn, and inquired if they had anything preliminary to the administration of the oath to present. The defense replied that it had soma papers to file, and after a lapse of a few minutes one of the attorneys arose and stated that the defense desired to renew its challenge of Daniel Weygand, of Jackson township, the last Juror accepted.

"The Juror satted on examination," the attorney continued, "that he had formed and expressed an opinion. No doubt he would endeavor to be impartial, but we doubt his ability to do so, as he Is inexperienced in weighing evidence, and was perhaps never on a jury before in his life. This is the class of jurors which we think are the most liable to be unable to render a fair and impartial verdict, and for this reason eleven of our sixteen peremptory challenges have been used in removing such jurors. We think it Is detrimental to this defendant to allow jurors to serve who have formed and expressed opinions, no matter how honest they might bo. It has been demonstrated here that a jury can be secured composed of men who have formed no opinions.

Seven jurors of this class are now in the box and. several others who had formed no opinion have been excused for other rcasous. This Is a matter of great seriousness. Mr. Weygand is a man of excellent character and good intentions, no doubt.

'Of his integrity we have no question but do doubt his ability to lav aside bis opinion in such a manner as to leave his Blind open to the reception of all the evidence offered in the case with like favor." The court asked the attorneys for the state if they desired to say anything, saying that ho had some doubt about whether Weygand ought to be retained on the jury, but would hear them if so desired. Prrseeutor Huhng responded saying: "We have no particular contention to make on t.iis matter, but suppose the court, like a jury, should take the whole of an examination when attempting to discover the truth. The condition of this juror's mind cannot be determined from one answer, but should be adduced from the whole examination. 1 think if this is a true test, this juror is clearly qualified. If the rule is to be applied that counsel can badger a' juror for an hour and get an answer which, if it stood alone would disqualify, a jury can never be secured." Captain Barger replied that he did not badger the juror but only asked him a largo number of questions for the purpose of getting at the true condition of his mind and test the strength of his opinion and the influence it would have upon his verdict.

Captain Barger argued that it was almost impossible for a person to divest himself of an opinion after it was once formed or prevent it from Influencing him. "Prejudice is a thing," he said, "that often lurks unseen in the human mind." This juror, he said, had str.ted that his opinion would have sumu influence upon his mind as a Juror but did not know it would influenco htm. He also said that the juror's answers as to giving the prisoner the presumption of innocence were not clear. j- After a few minutes' deliberation the court said: "Well, gentlemen. I think the challenge will be overruled." 1 The defense took exceptions to tho ruling.

Mr. Converse then renewed the motion to have the twelve peremptory challenges exercised during the time that Abraham Sohull was, in the box restored, and the same was again overruled. The court sustained the challenge by the stato of Schull several days after he had passed into the box, and the defense claimed that therefore during the time that he was In the panel there were no legal twelve jurors and tho court had no right to coin pell it to exercise it peremptory challenges. At this point Captain Barger renewed the application for a change of venue and also challenged the entire array, both of which were overruled. The jury was ordered brought down by the court and after the call of tho roll Criminal Clerk Mitchell administered the oath, after which Judge Pugh said: "Gentlemen on" tho part of tho state present your case."

Some activity is noted at Cincinnati in clothing, aud at Detroit trade is up to last year's volume. i Throughout the west and south, the fine crop prospects give encouragement, almost the only complaint now coming from New Orleans, of drought in the adjoining region. In the northwest continuous rains have made the prospect unsurpassed. Chicago reports larger re ceipts than a year ago of fiour, wheat, cheese hides and three times as much Wool; smaller receipts of oats, rye.

Louis notes a fair volume of trade, Milwaukee great improvement from rains, and St. Paul also, while at Minneapolis the lumber trada Is unsurpassed. At Omaha and Denver trade is fair and at Kansas City dull because of wet weather. At Louisville the outlook-is good, but at Nashville a heavy dry goods failure causes some depression, and there is no improvement at Memphis.

New Orleans reports trade dull, cotton in fair demand. sugar active, molasses dull and rice quiet and lower. At Savannah trade improves, and at Jacksonville Is quito steady. More orders for structural iron come from the break in the building strikes, and especial caution appears in the boot and shoe trades. Sales of somo cotton goods are recorded at the lowest prices ever made.

Wool moves slowly, but yielding at the west gives a better prospect. In breadstuffs the decline continues. Pork products are lower.and coffee about three-eighths, while tin, copper and lead are all stronger. In general, the approach of a harvest which is expected to be most bountiful has its natural effect on prices, and trade is but little embarrassed by speculative movements. Are Suhject to Duty.
