One house sold 160 cases of old tobacco and Inquiry of ether ckcrs developed that about DOO cases of tobacco were told, making the weekly sales 3(10 cases. New Yerk dealers are Mill seeking low grade tobacco of the 83 crop for expert, but thus far they have net been successful in getting large quantities of that tobacco. There Is a geed demand Ibr lVs and On of the old crop, but these grades are scarce. Other dealers are looking for flne leaf of the '67 crop, but very little of it Is te be found-In the county. There la also Inquiry for line leaf of '8S crop, but packers arc net disposed te sell their tine leaf. They are waiting te dispose of their packings as they run, The growing tobacco leeks remarkably well considering that thcre has been se much rain nnd that the nights have been se cool. With a warm spell for the next ten days the crop would advance rapidly. The New Yerk Market. Frem the U. 8. Tobacco Journal. The record of previous years has been broken the past week by the unusually early sale of new tobacco for the home market. A Pearl street house sold differ ent packings aggregating 800 cases of '88 Connecticut seed leaf, at prices averaging from 18 te It) cents. This proves the lwro lwre lwro ness of our market of old goods. It also pushes the transactions in new seed leaf into the het summer months instead of leaving them for the fall. Formerly it used te be the custom of our big mamifhe tut'ers and jobbers te lay In in the fall sufllclent stock te pernlH them te . wait till the new goods had passed through the sweat. The last few years, however, they have ljceome only moderate buyers in tlie fail ; tlie conse quence was that thoywero then always in tlie market te help them through the tall end of the season, and new they are com pelled te force the season and buy goods befere the tlme for preper cure. Our big establishments are almost hare of any kind of leaf, aud the outlook Is for a very heavy trade during the roasting days of July and August. AVe are almost certain that our packers will find very ltttle leisure this slimmer toceol off cither at the seashore or in the mountains. New Wisconsin and Pennsylvania bread leaf Is nlse rapidly changing hands, but almost exclusively In lower grades for exert trade. Sumatra continues te sell In fair propor tion. About 450 bales were taken the past week, the major portion of which were goods just imported freni the into inscrip tions. The prices for the new ruled from $1.80 te $2 nnd a llttle ever. The news from Amsterdam is very discouraging for a prospective healthy condition of the Sumatra market en this side. The Am sterdam house who de the bidding aud buying in running lets seem te be possessed with the idea a very erroneous one as the consequence will prove that they can com pel the American buyers te pay them the advanced prices they put in en the bids, lint thcre are two serious obstacles for a consummation of this policy. In the llrst place the Sumatra has net turned out te lie the se much far superior leaf that it was heralded when the tirst samples made their apcarance. It particularly falls short in the light colors which are in such great demand here just new. In the second place there will be much mero Sumatra offered than we have a call for. The new crop is estimated at 170,000 bales, of which se far only 10,000 bales have been ettered at the inscriptions. New, our American buyers need net allow themselves te be bulldozed by Lehman or any ether man, bocause he wants te bull the market by buying nlone 10.000 or 1S),000 bales. Fer thcre are still 130,000 bales te be sold which will con tain mero available leaf than which we can make use of in two years." Our require ments here for u sound business are nbeut sn.tKHl bales. Any quantity alravq that must have the effect of slaughtering prices. And If nny losses aru te be incurred, our importers should be willing te let rather the Lclimans bear them than they them selves. Thcre Is no scarcity, as yet, of .Sumatra in our market, and the next rush will be for our fine seed crops. In Havana leaf business remains steady. Sales about 800 bales. The news from the Vuelta Abajo Is net very encouraging for the quality of the new leaf. Prnin tlie Tobacco Leaf. The expert demand still continues, nnd large blocks of tobacco wero this week sold for that purpose. Pennsylvania bread leaf of the '88 crop still continues te be the faverite tobacco en the ethor side of the ocean. Tobaccos from ether states wcre also sold for expert, but the accounts wero net of large dimensions. Net much is being dene in home-triido tobacco, and perhaps a number of weeks will roll by befere a brisk trade can be icpertcd. Tlie prospects are lxcellent for a protltable Imsiness for packers of domestic leaf, as the new Sumatra crop will coma extremely high, and it Is by no means a very flne tobacco j consequently line domestic wmpiers will no doubt sell te the advantage of both buyer and seller. Giiiim' itcpert. Sales of seed leaf tobacco reported by J. S. Gaits' Sen, tobacco broker, Ne. 131 Water street, New Yerk, for the week end ing June 21th: 100 cases 18v8 New England seed leaf, p.t.j eOO cases 1887 Wisconsin Havana, 10 te 13c; 72 cases 18S5-0 Wisconsin Havana, 74c; 100 cases Dutch 13 te 10c. ; 100 cases 1887 Ohie, 91c; 250 cases 1887 Pennsylvania seed leaf i te 131c; 150 cases sundries 5 te 30c.

It is true, busi ness is net bright, but it would be if the stock was in store. Parties nre en the alert for stock suitable for their punwses. In quiries nre niade by manufacturers as te about what tlme the '88 crop will be suita ble, te draw inspectors' samples. Tw.) Children Bitten By n Deg. A little daughter of Jacob Woelmuth, of High street, and a son of Jeseph Reck, of St. Jeseph street, were playing last evening in the street. A strange deg came along aud attacked the gill, biting her in the arm. The llttle fellow went te his companion's aid and tried te drive the deg oil'. The animal turned ueu him and bit him lu the leg. Dr. Kinard was seut for and he cauterized the wounds. The deg escaped. A Driving Accident. Iist evening Miss Frances Patterson, sister-in-law of 11. Ilird Cassel, and the wife of Rev. Stewart arrived nt Watts' station from Lancaster, en the six o'clock train. They were met at the station by Mr. Cassel and the ladies get into the car riage. Miss Cassel in some way tumbled out of the wagon, although her feet to te maiiicd inslde entangled In a spread. She was dragged asheit distance with her head downward, and was considerably bruised befere the herse was slopped. He Paid the Bill. When Cuba Myers kept the Coepor liouse GcorgeS.

Mr. Myers heard that he was in Reading, and made complaint him befere Alderman Halbach, charging him with defrauding a landlord. Cousta Ceusta Cousta beo Yelsley went te Reading yesterday and arrested Weller, who was glad te settle afterward. He paid the bill and costs, amounting in all te about tIO. Ilroke Ills t'ollai-llene. Jehn Relimcr was working in a hay Held for Samuel Hambright, near Eden, yester day. A lead of hay, en which he was, upset a'id'he was thrown oil. He had his collar bone broken and was otherwise bruised. The New Market liens?. This morning u large force of men were put te work en the new city market lieune, aud the erection of the building will be priMeeded with as rapidly as possible. NOT A CRIMINAL. BlTJflM.I MME M IIMGIT W JAIL IT A MtCTlY CMSTABLE. A Charge or, Libel AnaJnst Him Enter tained By a Celeraln Squlre The Offfenae Clearly a Civil One. Justice Ress C Cellins, of Colernln township, en Monday committed Jehn Moere te the county Jail for trial at the August sessions of the criminal court. The commitment en tlie at the county jail sets forth that Moero was committed "for having circulated Infamous and scandalous assertions, which are a libel upon tlie son of Sylvester Linten, the prosecutor. " Coustable Carrigati started te bring young Moere te Lancaster en the train which left Quarryvllle at half-past two o'clock. On the way the young man kept saying that he had never been iu Lancas ter but once and was net acquainted with the town. His apparent anxiety te Im press thin en the officer's mind made the latter suspicious. When the train stepped nt the King street station Carrignn and Moere went out upon the car platform to te to gcther. Tlie lattorsuddenlyjumpod te the ground from the western side or the train and running down Water street te Vine turned up Dinah's hill. Cnrrigan fol lowed, but he ran tee slew, and the boy was captured by Constable Al Pyle, who had jolned in the chase, near the Vine street schools. The boy was handed ever te the country elllccr, who at ence placed handcuffs upon him and held fast te his arm until he was Inslde of the prison doers. There wcre all kinds of reports concerning the boy's crime, which caused the oxclto exclto oxclte ment In attempting te get away, nnd he was bel loved te be a villain of the deepest dye. When the true stnte of affairs became known thore wcre few peeple who did net wish that the boy had gotten away. If young Moero has nny friends he can get out of jail easily, as the commitment upon which he is delalned.lsclearly illegal. The offenso charged is libel, but if it is anything it is slander, which is net a criminal one. The law provides the remedy for slander te be a civil suit for damages, but this would have ontalled seme expense en the prosecutor and he took a shortcut, with the aid of the Justice of Celeraln township, te get the boy te jail nt the expense of the common wealth. TIIK SAMOAN CONFERENCE. Mr. Phelps, Who Brings Heme n Copy of the Treaty, Interviewed. The steamer Fulda, which brought Com missioner William Walter Fhelps back from Berlin, was hoarded at the earliest possible moment by reporters anxious for news. Regarding the previsions of the Samoan treaty, tlie American copy of which Mr. Phelps carried in a small yellew bag, the commissioner refused te speak, saying tlie confereneo was pledged by vote net te divulge the contents of the document until it had been submitted te the Parlia ments of the three nations involved. " Wcre the terms satisfactory te all par tics?" Mr. Phelps was asked. "They wero, te all j but osiecially favor faver favor Bble wcre they te Samoa, whose can se America advocated. This is pretty geed for a nation which hed no representative nt the conference." "Was that due te the Amerlcnn commis sioners 7" "The American commissioners particu larly looked after the interests of the San mans, but nil of the pnrtlcs shewed a disposition te deal fairly nnd Justly by her. When the Samoans reach a condition where thev nre better clothed and educated," added Mr. Phelps, smilingly, "I oxpect that they will build a statue te the Ameri can commissioners." Mr. Phelps mentioned that negotiations of the conferenco were carried en In Eng lish. "And this is u fact or great signifi cance and importance. It is tlie tirst tlme in the history of diplomacy that negotia tions have net been carried en in French, the language of diplomacy. It was dene en our motion, aud as English wns the national language of six out of seven of the commissioners, and the Germans, who speak English well, fell geed nnturedly in with us, that became the languge of the conferonco, though we started out in French, which all of the commissioners speke. It may be that German antipathy te anything French helped tecstabllsh this important precedent. 1 don't knew. How Hew How evor, the fact remains. Even the language of the treaty Is English, and I de net doubt that hereafter it will bocemo the language of diplomacy. We all found that geed, stuniy Anglo-Saxen was the most exact and satisfactory tengue lu which te couch delicate and intrlcate points. I rejoice that the new era was Inaugurated by us." Mr. Phelps added that he had hastened home as seen as he could get a copy of the treaty. Count Herbert Rlsmarck was the nrsi te tcave immeuiaieiy nuer ainxing ms signature, but then he dtd net have te take a copy with him. The tirst copy was glven te America, and its custodian immediately started, leaving the rest of the commission te fellow ut their leisure. HOW CHOXI.V WAS DOOMED.

A dispatch from Chicago says that oneof the ten men of the Inner circle of camp twenty of the Clan-na-Gael, who tried anil sentenced Crenlu, has inade a confession te State's Attorney Ixmgcncckcr.

At 10 o'clock the condemned woman wns brought from the cell, and Sherlff Kruiu Kruiu bhearand Prison Physician Pax son headed the prwesslen te the seallbld. Mrs. Whlteliug was escorted by the two min isters, but they grve her no aid what ever, she walking firmly and showing no hesitation. Arriving at the scaffold she ascended the ten or a dozen steps unas sisted, excepting that each of her spiritual advisers retained a gentle held or either arm, The sheriff's deputies then placed a leather strap around her skirts at the ankles and shackled her hands, the con demned woman meanwhlle with up lined eyes repeating a prayer delivered by Hew Mr. Jones. The lilnck cap was then adjusted and at 10:07 the trap was sprung and Mrs. Whltellng was dropped Inte eternity. The fall was about II ve feet aud the physicians stated that death was Instant from strangulation, though the heart continued te beat HpasuHHlically for seme tlme there after. The Isxly was lowered at 10:41 and turned ever te Dr. Allen Renuctt, of the Norrlstewu hospital for the Insnne, for an examination of the brain, lifter which the body will be glven te Undertaker Kehr for burial by the side or the murdered hus band and children. The only witnesses of the oxecutlon were the sheriff and his deputies, the prison officials, physicians, and about a dozen newspaper moil. mils, whitdi.ine'm liii.mi:. The crime for which Mrs. Whltellng Hiillered the extreme penalty of the law was the dcllberatopelsoulngol herhusbaiid and two children with arsenic for the pur pur pese of securing the small Insurance which she carried en each of their lives. The Whlteliug family consisted of Jehn Whlteliug, the husband and father, aged 38 years; Rertha, nliin years old; Willie, nearly 3, and Sarah J. Whltellng, the murderess, who was two years elder than her husband. The husband died en March 20, 1888, and tlie doctor who attended him gnve certificate of death from inflammation of the IhiweIn. On the 21th of Apill, Bertha died aud the same doctor certified that she died of gastric rover. Willle died May 20, as was suxsed at the tlme of congestion of the bowels. Dr. Smith, who had at tended the two previous cases, refused te take charge of Wlllie's ease nnd another doctor was called In. Aller (he third death Dr. Smith's suspicious were aroused (hat all was net right and he communicated his suspicious te the corenor, who ordered that the bodies he oxhuiued. An analysis of the parts showed the prcscuce of enough arsonle te cause death. The coroner sum moned Mrs. Whltellng befere him nnd charged her with killing her husband and two children. After seme hesitation the woman admitted that she had poisoned her two children, but claimed that her husband took his own llfe. She inade a full con fession minutely detailing the agonies of her victims lu their death struggles. She first told hew her husband, who was sick ly and had been ailing for several weeks, had told her that he had taken a portion of a box of ie!sgu, which she had bought ler use in driving vermin from the house. She summoned a physician, but did net tell him that hcrlmsbaiid had taken the ikiIseii, because, as she said, of a clause In his in surance jKillcy which declared that no money would be pa hi te suicides. His llfe was Insured lu an industrial company for 115, and he was also a member of the Ilenovelent Order of Rull'alecs, which or ganization paid the widow $.", About ene month alter the death of the husband she began administering poison te the daughter Bertha, who is described as having been a sweet-faced, daik-halrcd chili), the faverite iu the school which she attended. A doctor was called lu after the neighbors had urged it, though Mrs. Whlteliug declared that she had a pre monition that her child would net live. The doctor loll rxiwdcrs te be given every half hour, but instead of giving the medi cine, the 'unnatural mother gave her chilil the jmiIseu and iu thrce days the llttle girl was dead. Her llfe was insured for 8122. Oue mouth later thu woman decided te kill her llttle boy, whose llfe was Insured for 817, and she used the same methods as described Iu llttle Bertha's case. Altogether the insurance she realized by the three deaths amounted te fc'IW. Mrs. Whltcllug's trial took place last Nevember, the defense raised being Insan ity, but "her counsel were totally unable, though a number of insanity expeits were called, te prove their client insane, and she was convicted and sentenced te be hanged. All the circumstances jieiut te the woman hanged te-day us being ene of the most calculating and deliberate murderesses ever executed. It is related that while her children were ill shggavetn the llttle ones In the ucighliorheod candy which made them very sick and In w hleh she had prob ably placed some of the deadly poison, her evident Idea Ising te cretite a faUe impression as te the cause of the death of her own children, Mnce, when tlie coroner first questioned her she told him that her children ate ft great deal of candy, and she thought that might have had something te de with their decease. Every effort had been made by Mr?, Whllellng's counsel te save her life, first by proving her te be Insane, nnd also en the sentimental ground that being a woman the extreme penalty of the law should net be administered. A number of philanthropic, women also interested thomselves In her behnlf and endeavored te secure a commutation of the death sen tence, but theso efforts were unavailing, and the misorable woman had te hang, the only clemency oxtended her being a short reprlove by the governor.
