leading Features of Live Stock Trade at Liberty Tards. SHEEP AND LAMBS MORE ACTIVE. Few High Grade CattleMarket Slow and in Bayer's FaTor. HEATI HOGS ARE J$ BETTER DEMAND OFFICE 01 PlTTSBUKO'DlSPATCH, ? Wednesdat, March 6. 18S9. $ Supplies of cattle for the local trade has been between 73 and 80 carloads this -week, or a dozen loads more than last week, and as many less than the week before. Be ceipts from Chicago were less than for sev eral weeks past. The total from that point footed up about 40 .loads. Markets for heavy cattle haTe been very slow for some time, and the result is seen in the fact that very few heavyweights are coming to the front. In the 75 to 80 loads received at Lib erty this week there were scarcely any cattle weighing over 1,400. A leading stockman re ports that -he saw nothing above that figure. Some 3 .or 4 loads ot stockers weighing from SOO to 1,000 were among the receipts and brought better prices than they would have done for a week or two past. A few bunches of the best, weighing 1,000, sold at S3 40, with S3 00 a the lowest. After an addition of 200 pounds weight to these stackers, they will again be ready for markets in July., Thebest selling cattle were those ranging from 1,200 tp 1,300. The range of prices was $3 SO to $4 00. Very few readied the latter price. Last week better prices were paid, but the grade was then much better. As high as $4 55 was paid a w eek ago for a load of extra fine cattle weigh ing 1,700 pounds. Nothing in this week's sup plies showed anything like the quality. For the grade of cattle on hand this week markets are a fair stand-off to last week. The attendance of country buyers was larger this week than for some time back, and every thing was well cleared up to-day. IIogR. Prices of light and medium hogs are much nearer together than they have been any time this season. Heavy weights are in better de mand and promise to redeem themselves from the depression under which they have labored all the past winter. The best prices have all along been paid for light hogs weighing from 160 to 190 pounds. Anything above 250 pounds has been too heavy for this season's trade, and could only be sold at reduced prices. The rule has been in all former seasons that heavy hogs broueht the highest prices. In the past week there has been a tendency in markets to return to the old way. At Chi cago yesterdav heavy hogs brought the best prices, and at Liberty the drift ism the same direction. The run at Liberty this week has been fair. Prices are off from 30c to 40c from last week. Yorkers are quoted this morning at S4 75 to S4 S3, and heavy weights $4 CO to 4 7a Prices 'were advanced 5c at Chicago to day over yesterday's prices, and there is a firm er feeling at Liberty. Sheep sod Lambs. The run has been light, being 8 loads less than last week and the week before. With the decline of supplies a stronger market was nat urally looked for. News from the East of a discouraging nature prevented the expected rise. In New York at the beginnine of the week prices went off Jic. Here markets held their own. but .no more. Everything was cleaned up at about last week's prices, which were an advance on the previous week. Mar kets for fheep and lambs show a great improve ment on the situation througn the last half of January and the first half of February. ' By Telegraph.

LEGITIME IS TICT0EI0US, News From Hani Indicates That He Ha nippolyle on the Run. Kew Yoek, March 6. The steamer Andes arrived from Haytian ports this morning. The purser, Frank Darinis, says the Andes was at Port-au-Prince on Feb ruary 4. The day before this had been a grand review of Legitime' troops and much jollification because of the recent victories over Hippolyte's rebels. The Legitime forces had won signal victories in the provinces of the North and had driven the rebels backall along the line. At Grand Saline there was a battle fought, and Gen eral Jean Misere was taken prisoner, but was released on parole. There were no executions because. Legitime did not wish to alienate any of his country men by harsh measures. The Hippolyte forces were driven back through the Marma lade district as far as Ennery, and Hinche was taken, as were St. Michael, Valliere and St. Suzanne. "I wish to deny," said the purser, "the report that the commander of the Legitime warship Belize had been poisoned. I saw him alive and well in command of the ship. The report to that effect was sent by Hippo lyte over the cable at Nicholoas Mole. So also was the story about the massacre of Legitime's generals and soldiers. Legitime has all the navy and the larger part of the country. -No United States men-of-war were seen during the voyage. HURDEBED IN HEE BED. An Awful Crime Committed fay an Unknown Fiend In the Night. TEOT, N. T., March C Catherine Tay lor, widow, about CO years of age, was brutally murdered in her bed at her home, No. 330 Third avenue. West Trov, about 9.30 o'clock last night. She was struck on the head by an ax, a terrible wound being inflicted. One of the fingers of her left hapd was cut ofi as if she had tried to stop the blow. The assassin is unknown. A son, "William, 25 years of age, is under police surveillance. The weapon has not been found. An ax is missing from the cellar of the house, and it is believed that it was taken for the pur pose oi committing the crime. The woman .lingered until about 12:30 o'clock this afternoon, when she expired.

Steady The BlarketNcrronsnnd Un settledCorn and Ont Lower Hob Product Active. Chicago Only a moderate business was transacted In wheat to-day and the feel ing was unsettled. Fluctuations were not violent, but frequent, within la range for the day. The opening for May was llc lower than yesterday, which was the inside price of the Cay, rallied with numerous fluctuations lc, declined Jc recovered tc and closed abont Ho higher than yesterday. July ruled steadier and after opening a lower advanced 5c and closed the same as yesterday. There was nothing new in the situation, and a mystery still surrounds the trade which operators are unable to decipher. The im pression prevails that one of the large bull traders had sold out his holdings, but whether this operation merely represented a side issue and was actually in conjunction with other bull houses, it is difficult to say. There was an effort made to-day to bold the market and prevent further decline, buying orders on the break being sufficient to cause a reaction. A quiet, steady feeling prevailed in com most of the session, trade being only moderate, and almost entirely local. The market opened at yesterday's prices and closed a shade lower. Oats were more active daring the first part of the session than on any day this week. On un loading by the longs May declined c, but on buying by the shorts caused a rally to opening figures, and the close was a shade lower than yesterday. The market for hog products was the center of speculative attraction and trading was quite brisk. Mess pork opened at 1215e advance, but this was partially lost. Later the market exhibited considerable strength and prices suddenly advanced S537$c This tended to enlarge the offerings and prices receded 12 15c, the maiket closing steady.

The work of lay ing pipe 'to bring natural gas to this city has been in progress some time. A part of the gas is to come from the Indiana side. The Indiana Senate yesterday passed a law forbidding natural, gas to be piped out of the State. The owners of the enterprise here hold that the law is unconstitutional, and in any case cannot affect them, as they have an aot ot Congress permitting them to lay a pipe line across the Ohio. Remarkable Care ofLnmbng-o. O. M. Weeks, Denver, Col., writes: For nearly six years I suffered greatly with what the doctors call lumbago. I was unable to valk in that interval more than a few steps at a time, or to rise from a chair after once sit ting down, without assistance. A friend urged me to give Allcock's Porous Plasters a trial. He obtained some for me and put them on my back. I felt easier with them on than any thing I had ever tried, and continued their use for nearly three months, changing them every week, until I was absolutely cured cured so that frou that day to this I have been able to work. Th Discovered Along .Water Street and How it Came to be There. AN 1KCJDENT OP THE BIG FIRE. Petroleum Takes a Tumble and Demoralizes Both Balls and Bears. MONEI AMD ST0CK8 B0THIK THE DDHPS There is an iron mine on "Water street. How it came to be there was told to The Dispatch representative yesterday by one of a very few gentlemen who know of its existence. The great fire of 1845 swept "Water street from Terry to Grant. At that time nearly all of the iron mills of the city had extensive warehouses on that thorough fare. "When the fire broke out they con tained large quantities of all descriptions oi manufactured iron, nails and glass, which it was impossible to remove on account of their great weight. The fire ate its way up the street with such resistless energy that nothing could check its progress. All that the people could do was to stand idly by and. watch the destruction of property. Block after block yielded to the flames and were in a few hours reduced to ruins. The1 great iron warehouses shared the fate that overwhelmed nearly all of the business interests of the city. When the fire had subsided and the ruins cooled sufficiently to permit of Investigation, It was found that the Intense heat had fused thb iron, nails and glass Into solid masses. The glass was removed to the factories, and re melted, but the iron could not be disposed of in this way. It was too heavy and unwieldy for removal, and to separate the masses by cut ting would cost more than raw iron was worth. How to get it out of the way so as to permit of clearing away the debris preparatory to re building was a problem that puzzled many an active brain. Finally, after various methods had been pro posed, it was decided to dig trenches or holes in the bottoms of the cellars, and bury the iron in them. This was done, and there it is to this day hundreds of tons of it covered by the massive buildlnes, which superseded those destroyed by the fire, and as effectually elim inated from Industrial uses as if it were at the bottom of the ocean. Its money value is esti mated at half a million dollars. ARTIFICIAL WEAKNESS. The Depremed Condition of Stocks At tributed to Lack of Orders. With the exceptions of Electric, Switch and Signal and Citizens' Traction, the stock mar ket yesterday was without a redeeming feature. The stocks indicated were both higher and ac tive. The depression Is attributed on all hands to a lack of orders, and not to inherent weak ness of the securities, many of which sell under their intrinsic value, to say nothing of prospec tive improvement when the enterprises which they represent shall have been fully developed. The condition is one of artificial weakness, which a few good buying orders would relieve. Bids and offers were: MOHXTNQ. AFTERXOOV. STOCKS. Bid. Asked. Bid. AtLed. Pitts. Pet. h.&M.

STILL FEATURELESS. Local Bankers Anxiaas for the Advent of the Expected Boom. The local money market was without special feature yesterday. At one of the leading banks at 1 o'clock there was not a customer In sight. Counter business was of moderate volume. Speculators were the principal borrowers, and their favors were confined to two or three banks. This enabled Manager Chaplin to make a respectable Clearing House report, the ex changes footing up 2,170,418 49 and the bal ances 493,741 10 "Dullness in monetary matters does not mean that we are doing nothing," said a Fourth street financier. "It means that we are not doing the business we did last spring and fall and for a month or six weeks before the Christ mas and New Year's holidays. Indeed, in com parison with former jears last year particu larly money is decidedly active. Great stress is laid on the large amount of idle funds, and.it is pointed to as proof that every sort of busi ness is In the dumps. This Is a wrong view to take of it. We always have an excess of cash at this season ot the year to meet the usually large spring demand of merchants and manu facturers and to assist the farmers to make necessary improvements and to get in their crops. A bank that never has any surplus money on hand might as well go out of busi ness. If the idle funds that we hear so much about were specially detrimental to our inter ests, we could soon get rid of them by reducing rates to borrowers. That we are satisfied to hold them should be accepted as evidence that they are not so much of a burden as some people imagine."

Bears Raid the Stock Market andPall Down Prices All the Specialties Lower Foreigners Heavy Buyers Bonds Quiet. New Yoek, March 6. The stock market was somewhat more active to-day, and on the whole was feverish and quite irregular, with a gener ally heavy tone, and most stocks to-night are fractionally lower than last evening, London figures this morning were slightly lower, but the foreign buying to-day was considerable, and aided In resisting the attacks of the bear ish element upon the list, while the buying for domestic account was of the best character, and the selling was confined almost entirely to the professional element. The anxiety felt in some directions in regard to the standing of the French Copper Syndicate gave the bears an opportunity of making prices in the forenoon, and although most of the list reached their lowest figures in the last hour, the largest part of the decline was made in the early trading. Late in the day there was a de termined drive at Reading, but the result of the raid was entirely insignificant, and the other coal stocks were quiet and well held. The grangers, especially in the forenoon, showed unusual strength, with St. Paul in the lead, but all the marked movements as usual of late were confined to the specialties. First prices were generally slightly lower than last night's figures, but Texas Pacific, Pacific Mall, Short Line and Manhattan were conspicuously weak, the last named being down 2 per cent. The demand for stocks at the opening, however, was large, and on a fair business prices advanced with the Oregon stocks the special feature, and St. Paul leading the general list. Manhattan was very weak, and the other gold shares reached-the rest of the list, and the early gains were wiped out be fore the end of the first hour, when the market became less active, though a smart rally in Manhattan again placed the general list above opening figures. Dullness was the great feature of the market after 12 o'clock, and while Chesapeake and Ohio firsts preferred and Chicago Gas showed marked strength, the rest of the list gradually yielded, and Colorado Coal became the weak leature. Toward delivery hour there was a raid upon the coalers, and especially Reading, but the attack had no more effect than to keep the decline going in the general list, and the market finally closed quiet and heavy to weak at fractional losses from the opening prices. Although the great majority ot the active stocks are lower this evening, the only marked decline is 2 per -cent in Manhattan, while Chesapeake and Ohld firsts preferred rose 1 and Oregon Navigation 1. .. Railroad bonds were quiet, the sales of all issues reaching only 1,650,000. The only feature to tho trading was the animation of the Read ing secpnd incomes, which furnished 115,000 and International seconds 103,000 to the day's total. The market showed a general heavy tone dnring most of .the day, and of the im portant changes in quotations the majority are in the direction of lower prices.

Y., by five votes more than Warren Hunt, Republican, received in a total poll of 2,227. As the Mayor's term is,two years, and he has autocratic powers of appointment without confirmation, the Republicans are chagrined at the loss of city control, held by them for the last two years. The Republicans elected three of the Aldermen and the Democrats one. An awfnl tragedy was enacted on the streets of Temple, Tex., yesterday. Alfred and Herbert Rother engaged in a gun fight with Tom and Hugh Mattcck. The latter was killed outright and Tom Mattock is dying. Alfred Rother was shot in the arm.

MattocK refused and was assaulted by Rother. The brothers then opened fire. It is believed that there will be trouble at Flathead Lake unless J. E.

There were no sales on call. Oats are higher and firm. Corn is steady. The firmness of sales on call Is scarcely an index to markets. Outside deals are lively, with possibly a concession to cash customers. The wheat bears bave still the best of the fight. For spot wheat prices can hardly be quoted in this market. Our mills have for the present ceased to buy, claiming they are full. Flour is quiet and prices have declined 10015c on fancy spring patents the past week for large Job lots. Wholeale grocers report no change. Winter wheat flour holds its own, because it was not advanced with spring patents. At such an hour as we think not wheat and flour bulls may come up smiling again.
