THE CONDITION OF TRADE! The Volume of Goods Moving is Very Batis- factory. NO VERY GREAT CHANGE IN VALUES Both State and National Banks Have Made Reports During the —Mu- 1ons of M posit in Omn "ast Wee on ¥ Goods continue to move freely in a jobbing way, and trade in that direction is highly satisfactory. So much has been said of late regarding the phenomenai increase in the jobbing trade of Omaha that nothing re- mains to bo added. Itis suficient to say that the trade of the pastweek has bzen fully up to expectations, Tho retail trale iu the country i3 very faic and collections aro accoraingly up to the average. In the city the ratail trade nas not been overly active although about on an average of that of the past two wee! Perhaps the most noticeble event in business circles last weck was the publication of the Abank statements of both national and state #" banks. For somo time 1t has been talked in s circlos that tho deposits were rap- 1dly increasing, and that there was not a cor- responding increase in the domaud for loans. The publication of these statements bears out the assertions previously made. ‘The nino national banks of Omanha, with & combined capital of £4,000,000, are carrying a line of deposits amounting 10 almost £17,000,- 000. The eleven state banks show total de- Dosits of &3, 456, 0 making in round num- bers £20,000,000 on deposit in O naha banks. Comparing this with the statements made in February and June of 1891 it will be noted that Omaha bauks have gained about §2,- 000,000, A compiled statement of the national banks was published last Wednesday. The state banks aid not finish the publication of (heir statements until vestorday.

The Very Latest Rumor from Politieal dquarters at Washington. K, March 12.—-The Herald's Washington correspondent says: ‘A strong effort is being made by the opponents of President Harrison in the scnate to have as many state delegations sent to Minneapolis uninstructed as possible, Some of tho sena- tors who are favoring this plan hope that by 80 aoing thoy imay be able to prevent the prosident from securing votes enough to suc ceed himself and thus enable some of the outside candidates to win the prize. “Senator Manderson of Nobraska is the last of these geatlemen who is talked of as a presidential possibility, The Nobraska senator is very popular in the transmissis- sippl country, and I am told that his own delegation will be a unit in his favor if he so desires. Mr. Mandersoa himself ridicules the suggostion and says that he has no ambi- tion in that direction. “*His friends insist that there 15 good presi. dential timber in him and ave talking seriously of making & concerled effort to bring him out.” g ERS IN JAIL Petty and His Mistress Arreste h Awtul Story of Cruclty. Pronria, 111, March 12.—Matters begin to look dark for W. H. Potty and the woman whois posing as his wife. They were ar- rested for maltreating their adopted daugh- ter, who is only 9 years old. In the prelim- inary heariug it was shown that Petty stole the child in St Louis, She is the daughter of Mrs. Pufnam, a widow, who1s enroute to claim her daughter. Additional particulars brought out at the trial show Petty to have practiced the most revolting cruelties on the child. She complained of being cold after being out begging all day, and he removed he scanty clothes and, after tying a handker- chief over her mouth sc nerscreams could not be beard, held her down on a red hot stove until she was terribly burned. The police learned that tho woman with Petty ran away from Memplis three or four weeks ngo. Her nume is Prentice and she belongs to a good family. The diamonds found belonged to her husband and father. e BREWERS COMBINE.

It is the most stupendous business scheme over undertaken in Iilinois, and its formation will end the bitter war between the brewers which bas been raging here since last Seo- tember. The pool emoraces every one of the twenty-three brewerics outside of the En- glish svndicate and has caused a cut of from 6 to $4 a barrel and has a most depressing effect on brewing investments. While com- petition 1s ended it 1s declared thero will be no union of the new company with the En- glish syndicate of Chicago breweries, —_— Cut Her Rival's Throat CuanrestoN, W.

The Matropolitan Strect Railway company Wwon @ victory over the Omaha Street Ralls Way company in the courts yeaterday. Somo months ago the Metropolitan people of South Omaha and commenced building their lines of rond. As soon as the Omaha Street Rail- way people learned what was being done, they entored upon the samo streots and com- menced the work of laying thelr tracks. At the same time they spplied for and securod a temporarv {ujunction re. straining the Metropolitan people from golng abiead with their work, Imnediatoly after this order tssued by the court, dohn J. Mahouey appiiod to the courts for an order to restrain the Omaha Street Railway company from takiug posses- sion of thestreets. ‘I'ho case was argued be- fore Judges Doane and Irvine, tho Owaha Street ruilway people contendiug that the Metropohitan folks had not performed work 10 entitle thom to any rights upon the streets which thoy had built over, The case was submitted, and yestorday in banding down the opinion the court said: “While the work done by the Metropolitan Street Railway company ot extensive, 1 character it was a bona filo commence- ment of construction as evidenced by the Jater acts of the company, aud thoereforo the injunction asked by the Omaha Street Rall wily company 1s denied, whilo that usked by Jolin J. Mulioney is granted Denied It With an Emphasis, The matters disposed of in criminal courd were of more than usual importance, as it was santence day with Judge Davis, Mickey Cochran was the first man to stand Yeforo the bur. This man, in company with his brother, Neil Cochran and Duteh Fred alias F'red iagerman, some months ago med a Swede, John Carison, in South Omaha. Carlson had just reached the town and was At once taken in tow by the trio of cutthroats. They first filled him with liquor and then piloted him into Syndicate park, where after Leating and bruising him uotil life was nearly extinct robbed him of & wold watch and $40. They left him in an unfrequented ravine to die. KFortu- nately ho was found and taken to town. For several days he lingered between life and death, Upon recovering he gave an ao- curate account of the three highwaymen, who were arrested, tried and held to the du trict court. Last week when the case was called for trial Hagerman turaed staw’s evis deace, confessed the ceime that implicated both of the Cochran boys. With this evi. dence and that that County Attorney M novey alroady had a speedy conviction fol- lowed. Yesterday Cochran's attorney filed a motion for a new trial, setting forth the statement that Juror Ward had ex- pressed opinion the caso fore ho went into the jury ‘'he afidavit on which the motion wa: based was sworn to by ono Kva Porany and in it she avered thai she beard Ward say tuat ho kuew Carlson and the facts connected with the robbery; that the Cochrans were hard citizens uud oucht to go over the road, T'he motion also charged that the court had orred in some of his feelings, Judge Davis 1 passing upon the motion stated that be was willing to stand upon his rulings, aud as far as the aMdavitof the woman was concerned, he had no hesitunoy in saving that it carried a falsehood upon ita face. ‘T'he judge overruled the motion and iovit- ing Cochran to lhisten to a few words, told him that the crime was the most dastardly that had ever been brought to his attention, Four strong men, each of whom was superior in ' strength and intelligence had met a poor, ignorant Swede, who was unacquaintea with the ways of the couniry. Ina cowardly mauner they had taken the man to a secluded spot, and liko fiends had beaten and robbed him and then left him to die. “‘There is not a palliating circumstance connected with the whole case,” continued the court. After concluding the lecture Cochran was sentenced to a term of twelve years in the nenitentiary, to be devoted to doing hard labor. Drunkenness No License for Crime, Dutch Fred, aliss Fred Hagerman, who hoping to lessen his years of servitude af Lancoln, was next calied up. He was aske ifhe had anything to say why sontence should not be pronounced. He begged the urt to be lonient, as he was drunk at the time. ‘“Ihat’s no excuse,” responded the judge. “What I have sad to Cochran appiles cqually a3 well to you, and the seutence of tho court is that you be taken to the peniten- tiary and there ve confined for the perlod of fifteen yoars at hard labor.” Itis anderstood that part of the sentence was on account of it having been known that Hagerman committed perjury while on the witness stand. Other Criminal Cnses. Ilaroest Stunt through Clerk of Court Moores, contributed $25 to the school fund, ' It happened like this. Some time azo Stuht was sued in Justice Wilcox's court on a § account. He conducted his own case and was defeated. C. L. Day, the lawyer on the othor side was holp- ing’ the justico figure up the costs, Stuht protested and hot words fol- lowed. During the animated discussion Stubt'tapped Day over tho bead a couple of times, after which he was arrested on the charge of assault and battery. The case went up to thoe district court, where Stuht pleaded guilty, In passing sentence Judge an in | the rosd to Davis smilingly remarked: *‘Mr. Stuht, you ought to have hired a lawyer to have con- ducted your case and llloanld him about §25, As you did not, I will fine you about sh amount.” Alfred Lougnlin, & youne Scotchman who, for o year was bookkeeper at the Grand Island” sugar factory, came to the ity De- cember 16, T'he next day he forged a chock on W. V. Morse & Co. for $0.51. This he negotiuted, but was arrested, triod in police court, and convicted, He was sentenced t@ fifteen mouths in the penitontiary.

Metz refused to pay the bill, chargiog that the moter did nob register corvectly, Metz admitted that he owed $400, but no more, The court decided that 1hat dmount constituted the entire la- debteduness, Judge Irvine also heard testimony in the case of Anna Hill against William Hill and | grauted the divorce for which the plaintif prayed. —_——— “Lata to bod and early to rise will sborten your bome fo the skies.” But early 10 bed aud & “Little Early Kiser,” th pill that makes life looger aud bLolter an wiser,
