He told a straight story, j thonjrh cross-examined without gloves by Mr. Burleigh. A number of witnesses tes tified in iavor of the Alderman. The Alderman Porter trial for conspiracy was continued before Judge Slagle in Criminal Court yesterday. Bichard Allen, vho was a deputy constable and did fcomo -work for Alflerman Porter, testified that he served the 'warrant on Mrs. Clinton; was present during the hearing, and was sure that no money was paid. Charles A. Sullivan, Esq., testified as to having acted for Mrs. McMinniman, and received from her 545, out of which he paid the costs in the case. The witness flatly contradicted all the statements made on the stand by Mrs. McMinniman, and also denied having acted as attorney for the Detective Agencv. Mrs. Celia Bosaler testified to having visited Mrs. Clinton often, and that she said she paid money to both Porter and Sheppard, yet she would often contradict herself. Mrs. Drum was a witness in the case against Mrs. McKulty, and saw her lay monev on the'Sanire's desk to pay the costs, but the 'Squire refused to take it, saying that the case would have to go to court and the grand jury pass upon it John S. Robb, Esq., testified that Alder man Porter bad consulted him about a re hearing in the case or Maud Campbell, and that he advised the 'Squire that a rehear in? could be had where the defendant was not in condition to make a proper defense at the first hearing. Thomas slogan testinen mat ce mougni he heard J. J. Jordan, Esq., say that the Porter gang had been indicted, and ne would see that that they would get four years apiece, but he was not quite sure of It, as he paid little attention to it. "Will iam Desso. clerk for Alderman Porter, stated that he remembered the 'Squire telling Mrs. McMinniman to quit foitune telling and to embark; in the grocery or some other business. Alderman "W. H. Porter was then called to the stand, and testified that he had been Alderman in the Fifteenth ward for 17 years. He had been commissioned by the court as a detective and to conduct a detec tive agency. The original purpose of the agency was to make a place for Hugh Daly, so that he might ferret out Allegheny Val lev Bailroad thieves. The only other de tective specially encaged was a man named Perry Bailey; Sheppard and Krusa were deputy constables, while Packer was the regular constable of the ward. Tom Car ney was about the office; he served subpoenas, etc, but never executed a war rant. The list ot persons who testified that they had paid money for the settlement of cases was gone over, and a specific denial entered in each case. The only money re ceived was as costs. The witness staled that there was only one case where he ever ad vised that a settlement be made, and that was in the case of a woman named Kate Cordell, who was poor and had a large fam ily. Her husband was an old soldier and was paralyzed. He did advise the settle ment of that case, purely on charitable grounds. The case against Mrs. Curry was entered after the inquest on a girl who had committed suicide because of bad things predicted that would happen to her by a fortune teller, and was discharged lor a lack of evidence. The cross-examination, which was rather severe, was conducted by Mr. Burleigh. Mr. Porter, however, gave prompt answers and was not tangled up very much. Mr. Burleigh The money that yon got as a forfeit from the girls in the house ot Mabel Gilbert did you turn over to the city? Mr. Porter I think I did, or else I still owe it; but I think I turned it over. Mr. Burleigh Do you say that Mr. Jor dan did not pay you any money? Mr. Porter He did not, unless it was bor rowed money. Mr. Burleigh Did he ever borrow 523 from you? Mr. Porter No, sir, he did rot I never had confidence enougn in him to lend him that amount Mr. Burleigh Did Laura Bailey ever net as one of your defectives? Mr. Porter No. sir; she did not Mr. Burleigh You did not collect costs from the countv in any of these cases cited? 'Mr. Porter No, sir; I did not The reason was that at tbe time there was considerable newspaper talk about Aldermen collecting costs from the connty, and I wanted to be careful. In the last 13 months I have not collected one-half of my costs. Mr. Burleigh How'much did you collect in 1889? Mr. Porter I can't state just now, but if you will give me until to-morrow morning I will tell you every name and every cent I collected'for five years. Mr. Bnrleigh Did you ever collect costs from both tbe prosecntortind the county? Mr. Porter I did in one case bv mistake. That was in the case of Mrs. McNulty. and as soonasldiscoveredthemistake I gave the money to Mr. Brennen, who was Mrs. JJcNulty's attorney, to be sent to her as a matter ot justice. Mr. Porter further testified that he had been a deputy Mayor for 11 years and for two years acting Mayor of the city. He was still on the stand when court adjourned. The case will go on to-day. BETEEAL EKOTS UNTIED. A Kamber of Conples Tranifoimed Into Single Blessedness. Seven divorce cases were concluded in - Common Pleas Court No. 1, yesterday, de crees being granted in all of them. Thomas A. Cunningham was granted a divorce from Margaret L. Cunningham. Cunningham is an employe in the Black Diamond Steel Works. The testimony was to the effect that he was married in the old Court House on October 18, 1884. He was then 16 years old and his wife 22. It was a forced marriage. Since then his wife has been unfaithful. 'Prank B. Hancock, of South Diamond street, Allegheny, was granted a divorce from Eliia G. Hancock. It is stated that Hancock was compelled to go to the conn try on account of ill health. His wife would not go with him, and when he re turned eight months later she refused to lire with him. She paid no attention to his re peated importunities to return to him, but remained with her family. On one occasion she told a friend that she did not know why she had married Hancock and wished she had never done so. Thomas Boland, a river man, living on Franklin street, received a divorce from Bebecca Boland. The couple were married in October, 1887. Boland states that he made a trip to "White river, and when he re turned fonnd his wife living with Edward Sbingliss, of the Southside, as his wife. A divorce was granted in the case of Mrs. Fannie Shirk against Harrison C. Shirk. They were married in 1878, and last July she had to leave him on account of his abuse and ill treatment On one occasion he tried to set the house on fire, and when she pre vented him tried to stab her. He was stopped br a boarder in tbe bouse. Ewin W. Over, of No. -5006 Penn avenue, obtained a divorce from Alice M. Over. Some time after their marriage Mrs.Ovw, it stated, returned uome, stating tflat ner feelings ha.il changed, and positively fe fusing to lire with her husband. Mrs. Anna Oertel received a divorce from,' Emll Oertel, a piano toner, living on Villa street, Allegheny. She alleged that be ill treated her, compelling her to leave him. Mrs.' Mary Brooks was given a divorce iron) Julius Brooks. Thev were married in 1881. He abused her, and finally deserted her four years azo. TWO WILIS WERE PILED. A Blngntar Probato Case Which Register Connor la Worried Over Mrs. W. BI. Grace Presented Two Wills or tier Husband. A hearing was had before Register Con nor yesterday in the case of tbe contest of the will of William M. Grace, of Ingram. Mr. Grace died on August 12. Shortly afterward Attorney N. W. Sebafcr pre sented a will for probate, but as it was un signed the Begister refused to admit it The document, which bequeathed all of Grace's property to his widow, Elizabeth Grace, was then taken away. Borne time later Mrs. Grace herself appeared, bringing with her a duly signed document similar to the first, which she filed. This will was exactly like the first one, the wording being the same and it was written on the same kind of form, the only difference being the addition of tbe signa ture. Mrs. Grace explained that she had fonnd the document in her husband's desk, where the other had been, and as it was properly signed, brought it in. Mr. Grace's brother, .however, filed a caveat, protesting against the probate of the paper, holding that it had not been signed by tbe deceased and was not bis will. At the hearing yesterday, witnesses were pro duced by Mrs. Grace to show that the sig nature was that of her husband. They testi fied that it was similar to Mr. Grace's sig nature, and they thought it was bis. One of them, Wilson S. Smith, first said that he was familiar with Mr. Grace's hand writing, and the signature was not his. He afterward said that it looked something like Mr. Grace's signature, and then that he was sure it was his. Bsgister Conner continued the hearing until next Friday. HADE IN CASE HE DIED. Mr. Kcnworlbj's Will Was Made While on Bis Deathbed and Told If Ho Got Well. The will of the late William Kenworthy, dated December 3, 1889, was filed yesterday for probate. Mr. Kenworthy, after be queathing his property to his wife daring her life, at her death to be divided among his children, makes the following unusual condition: "I desire that, should I recover from my present sickness, the above bequests shall again be considered by me. and shall be of no effect but void, unless God, in Hii good providence, should at thts time claim me as His own. Then this last will and testament shall remain in full force, as above stated." It Is Dangerons. Some people suggest that if theconrts would exercise more stringency in granting detective licences, crooked Aldermen would not do so much mischief. John Marron, Esq., states that where old-time constables are not emploved to make business there is but little trouble, but the detective agency business ofiers too much temptation to an Alderman of weak moral structure. Slllksbnke Martin Gets a Stny. The execution on which John A. Martin, the milk dealer, had been arrested for the fine and costs in one of the Sunday selling cases was stayed yesterday by an order of Court. General Blakely, Martin's attorney, had filed exceptions to tbe commissioner's report of the costs taxed and the writ was stayed until the case could be argued. The fine and costs amount to about 557. The Testimony Taken. The testimony of the defendants in the equity suit against the Pennsylvania Salt Works at Natrona is all in, and if the plain tins do not spend much time in rebnttal tbe matter will soon be ready for submission to the court To -Day's Trial Lists. Criminal Conn Commonwealth ts J. C. Blackstock, Amos Dockratn, Bobert Heckert, Samuel E. Calhoun. P0SlT0iD FOE A WEEK. Doctor Gun Wnb and His Manager Fnrnlsh 81,000 Ball. Gun Wat, the Chinese doctor, and C. A. Bernard, his business manager, were ar raigned before Alderman McBTenna yester day afternoon, but their case was continued for one week, at the request of the prosecu tion. Mr. Burleigh, the attorney for the Police Bureau, was unable to so on at that time. Bail to the amount ot 1.000 fot- each was signed by Councilman George Treuscb, of the Fourth ward, A. Israel appeared to detend the men. Gun Wah has temporarily ceased the sale of medicines, and will not attempt to renew his business until the pending case is concluded. Arrested on Suspicion. Yesterday forenoon Magistrate McKenna sent to the jail a man named John Allen, who is believed to be one of the men who assaulted Donaldson, on the Twenty-eighth street bridge, last Christmas night. He will be held until the police have made further discoveries. They think they have located another of the assailants near the city and will arrest him to-day.

NO DEMAND FOR COAD AND WOOL, Stock Speculation is Retarded bj a Tight Honey Market. IEOH 18 A CONSPICUOUS EXCEPTION It the Dullness in Other tines, and Contlnnes to Enjoy a Boom. The reports to Brad&treet's and E. G. Dun & Co., show that business is generally quiet " The prospects, however, are re garded as excellent The future of coal and wool wjll depend on the weather. rsrrciAL telegram to tits disfxtcii. New Yoek, December 27. Special tele grams to Bradttreet't show that general trade has been much quieter even than is customary at this season in jobbing circles, owing to the observance of holiday cere monies, to the prolonged mild weather and to the interference of stock-taking. In Cali fornia there have beeu only six fair days within a month, and trade is much de pressed by continued rains. The movement of Indian corn and flour is quite heavy, and tbe lack of railway cars at Western dis tributing centers to meet demands made upon railway companies for freight room on old business remains as conspicuous as lost week. The New York wholesale trade has been quiet Betail trade during the holidays has been disappointing in furs, woolens and other lines of heavy goods. Country road ways are heavy. The bank reserves in creased again, but call loans at Sew York on Friday were quoted as high as 30 per cent, which served to check stock specula tion. New York, Philadelphia and Boston interest and dividend disbursements on Jan uary 1 are estimated at ?115.000,000. The stringency at this time is caused by prepa rations to meet this.demand on the Cants. SPECULATION NOT ACTIVE. Stock market transactions aggregate a very small amount Many operators feel confident that after the opening of the new year Wall street will be in position to reflect the general 'prosperity of the country. Lackawanna advanced to-day afterdeclaring al per cent quarterly dividend, aud Bead ing is higher. There are 20,000 idle coal miners, and 20,000 more are to be cut down one-quarter as to working time and wages on January 1. The coal companies cannot have received as much gross this year as last by $15,000, 000. Special returns to Bradttrett's show that the wool and woolen goods trades have suffered three times as heavy financial losses from failure in 1889 as they did in 1888. The total of such failures in the United States is 72 this rear against 67 last year, and of lia bilities $10,442,000 as compared with 3,637, 000 in 1888, and of assets $7,032,000 against 51,976,800 a year ago. Exports of wheat (and flour as wheat) both coasts, for this week continue heavv, aggregating 5,251,634 bushels against 2,872, 21 bushels last week and 1.229,141 bushels in the last week of December, 1888. The total shipped abroad July 1 to date is 52.- 447,256 bushels against 51,230,000 bushels last year and 74,500,000 bushels in a like portion of 1887. AGBICULTUBAIi LINES. All cereals declined this week. Flour has shaaeS on free offerings and reports of heavy shipments. Wheat markets abroad nre very dull and prices here are down s. Indian corn on a heavy move ment from the interior has been very active with price 22c lower. The use of corn for fuel in the Western States, with coal. at 20e, and corn at 15c per bushel, is extend ing. Oats shared in the depression of corn to the extent of jJo. Bye on pressing offers is down l2c. Hog products have been unsettled and depressed in sympathy with the West, lard and pork noticeably so. Makers of pig iron are declining to name prices for delivery after April 1, and mill owners are placing orders freely, as fur nance managers are willing to accept busi ness for the first three months of the year at and coke and a possible advance in the cost of labor at the opening of spring have in spired caution on the part of the manufact uring interests. A speculative tendency is apparent in crude iron in several "Western markets. The possibility of an advance in freights, particularly on Southern irbo, is also recognized. Western buyers have placed large orders with Southern turnace managers, to be delivered during the first half of the year. At Southern exporting points inquiries from foreign sources are being received for prices on crude iron. THE BUSINESS FAXLUBES. Business failures reported to Bradstreet's number 237 in the United States tbis week, against 330 last week and 334 this week last year. Canada had 30 this week against 34 last week. The total failures in the United States January 1 to date is 11,590 against 10,416 in 1888. The disturbing political and financial news from Brazil, coupled with the decline in Klo exchange, checked trading in coffee, and prices ended 2535 points lower1. On a restricted movement refined sugar is ic lower. B. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review says: At Western points. With scarcely an excep tion, the open weather and bad condition of country roads are noticed as causes of un usually slow collections. In other respects the reports of trade are generally satisfac tory. The movement of grain at Chicago continues, equal to that of last vear to date. The weak points of the situation are those trades which are most affected by two suc cessive mild winters. The anthracite coal trade is stagnant in the absence of demand, and the situation is almost without prece dent , IKE WEATHER RESPONSIBLE, More than half of the Beading coal mines have closed, throwing 8,000 miners out of work, and it is stated that-20,000 miners are working on three-quarters time. The bitu minous coal trade is more active, but lack ing cars. No definite relief in the wool goods can be expected until prolonged cold weather has caused a well-sustained de mand, and the clothing business in all parts of the country must necessarily depend to a great extent ipon the weather."

Bales of 35,000 tons of steel rails are reported, with tbe price steady at $35 East and 536 25 at Chicago. Bar iron is firm at 2 cents, and confidence in the future is in all branches of the iron and steel busi ness undiminished. A larger demand for copper having en sued, the syndicate has advanced lake to 14) cents, with sales of 750 pounds, but lead, is quiet at $3 87, and tin has been depressed at London by specnlative realizing, being quoted at 21 cents here. In speculative markets, corn has dropped 2)4 cent:, with sales of 11,000,000 bushels. Wheat sales were but 9,000,000 bushels, but oats are nearly 1 cent lower. BUT UTILE CHANGE. Pork products are substantially un changed, petroleum a quarter of a cent lower with insignificant trading, coffee a quarter higher with sales of only 160,000 bags, and cotton steady with small sales, thongh tbe exports again exceed those of the corresponding wees last year, and the receipts are nearly tbo same. The belief in a very large yield grows stronger, but also a faith In large increase in foreign consump tion. Tight money continues here and at Phila delphia, and relaxation is not to be' ex pected now until after the January dis bursements. The November exports ex ceeded imports by the unprecedented sum of 34,653,716, and at New York in Decem ber the exports show1 a decrease of 5.1 per cent, while imports increase Z per cent, but even at this rate tbe excess of imports for tbe whole country would be over 510,000, 000. The treasury is so conducted as to sustain the money market as far as practic able, and $3,200,000 has been paid out in excess of receipts this week, but the move ment of S70.000.000 cash from the treasury and the banksHo the West and South since August 1 makes the present stringency by no means surprising.
