Nw York. Jan. 4. W89.
In a financial polut of view, the month that
lsjuvtover la almost parallel with the corres
ponding month of 18G7 tho number of sus
pensions being a little in excess. The number
of failures In the city 1 estimated at 111; that
of the country at large at 4450, or about
eighteen times as great. If what the pollttonl
economists of Bohemia ray be true, the po r
and rich alike bave encouragement for the
present year. It la well that some one should
always be pointing out to somebody else what
be has to be thaokful for. The rich may go
down on their marrowbones, in that an adrnuce
In commerclul values msy be anticipated; the
poor may throw up their hats in the know
ledge that grocers aud provision dealers will
re lotia be compelled to abate their prices.

of the past as an antediluvian evil, despised by
juodcrn enterprise.
THE SKATING RINKS
have ben largely visited during the past week.
The now Empire Skating Kink, built on u mam
moth scale, is the oue most patronize 3. 1 have
already mentioned its dimensions and the
almost blinding brilliancy which results at
Bight from its 700 gas jet. The great feature
of the seasou, hitherto, wai the prize race for
boysou Saturday morning the first of a series
of Saturday prize-races when adolescent boys'
skateriully inclined, are presumed to oe free
from imprisonment under de.-k, birch and
blackboards. The first ruce was for boys under
twelve, the second for thore between twelve and
cixtcen, the highest prize of the first bjinj $5
and of the second $8.
Roller-ska'.in? is also very fashionable this
jear, though a lady or peutlemnn may be an
accomplished roller-skater, and a dead failure

devoted exclusively to rollrr-skating. Thee are
the Citizens' Hkatiusr Association, at the liar'
vard Rooms, at the intersection of Forty-secoud
street aud Sixth avenue, aud the New York
Skating Association, at Plympton's Bjildmp, at

TUI TRAGIC FATS
of BIr. Rogers, the old trcntleman who was
stabbed the other day while swesping his pave
ment at seven o'clock in the morning, is point
ing a moral to nervous heads of families. "I
think Mary (the servant) must be stabbed,'' was
the remark I heard oue of these make to an
other, yesterday, at bnakiast. "Why. my
dear?'' asked matcrfomiliaa, looking up from
the coffer-urn In suddeu terror. "Why, the last
I saw of her, half-au-hour ago, she was sweep
ing dowu ihe front-door steps.''
( Mr, Rogers died on Saturday. A rewird of
; $500 has been offered by the police authorities
for the arrest ot the murderer. On dit that the
police authorities know nbo it Is. If w, why
lo they not arrest him and why do they ofler
$500? My own impression is that they know
little and do less. The only clue is a torn en
velop1, marked with "Jams Locrao, N. V. Cyty,
this will be handed you by Tom."

being brought to light. Their la'.est exploits lu
this direction have been on the body of a Dr.
Augustus Diecks, who, with his leg broken jus
above the ankle, was picked up insensible in
West Broadway. Iu this condition a police
brute uamed Jacobus to 'A him to the station
bouse, where another police brute named
Christie ordered htm to be locked up. Tor
eight hours he remulned imprisoned lu Lelpleas

was brought bent hiiu home In a curiiuge, and
-reprimanded the polieerneu !

A STRANGE CASE.
A Hnnler without any Motive.
A murder trial in England baa recently Illus
trated, in a very shocking manner, tbe liability
of juries to convlut innocent men, even of u
capital crime. In August last, a laborer named
CcrnlNh waa found murdered in a field near tbe
city of Wells, in Uomeraetsbire, bis nead beateu
in with a atone, and a man named Blsgrove
kneeling beside blm. The story told by Ibla
person on bis arrest waa, mat oeing aruuK.
iha niiiht before and finding CornisU asleep
on tbe ground, be bad goue to sleep by bit
side, and on waking uau seen a tun man
lnineaotot commuting iu uiuruer, xi, wan
ascertained tbat another laborer named
Hwe et, aud his mistrtts, a woman called Drew,
bad been In company Willi bpib ltisgrove and
Cornish up to very near tbe time of the mur
der. Both were arrested. Tbe woman being
called as a wanes tor the Crown, tealilled that
sue bad quarrelled with sweet, uad gone with
lilsgrove uione into tne noui auu leu unu mere
aitn tbe Bleeping Coin inn, and bad thau re
iolued Sweet and remaiuc-d In bis company
'until bom were at rested. Her story was sup
iostd to be au Invention lor tbe purpose of
screening uer pafHLuonr .swut, and tne jury
tvlileuily believeu tuai tuu quarrel uau oc
curred between lh two prisoners an I the mur
dered man, and bad btsen prompted i y itxtlousy.
Sweet aud 1'.ik ve were botu loutid guilty;
!tt no 8oouer hAil tliey teen remanded
to jail than Ulfgrove maile a cnulfsslouenilrely
esoi eraling tSaeet,and eurroburaliug tbe
woman's story. Tbe conlosslon reveals oue of
tbe moBtexlraortf Inury cases of murder without
Htij motive I bat ever came to our knowledge.
Tbt murderer hud none lo sleep by bis victim's
sale. "Wbeu 1 waliiil up," said be, "I waa
iioiugaway, but komeibitig teemed to tell me I
must murder that man. aim then I went over
to the river aud (runt lite s'.one aud brought it
over on my bead, and I nrowed It dowu ou the
man's bead. " Whatever made me do it
i cau t tbli k. It was uoi lor monoy. 1 bad no
thought of money."
Now the rouvlcilon r.f Bweet on aoharge of
which he was fciitiitly luneent cuuuot be
elaisedwltb tho mimakrH of cltoumstantlal
evidenoe, lc it iloi r not appear lUut there waa
any clrcniustaunal evidence against him at
all, except tbe bare fact that be waa in com
pany with tho deenasrd a little while before
the deed must bave been committed. He seems
to have been convicted because, tbe Jury
wanted to find a motive for tbe deed, audcnuld
not find oue without dragging blm in. They
made op tuelr theory of the murder, and not
bt lug able to act it out with a single culprit,
tiny had to secure a second oue. Fortunately
tbe ixior man's ionooeuce is mude clear before
the time uau come lo bung blm. A'. T. Tr.bune.
