On Sunday, as the family of Henry Coch rane were going to attend services in the school house, about throe and balf mile north of I'alune City, Washington, on tlx Farruington road, they not i;cl tlie rattle of 11. D. Johnson In the corral. They thought it rather strange and at 8 o'clock when Sir. Cochrane saw the cattle st II penned up, lie determined to investigate. Approaching the door he knocked twice, hut received no answer. He undod a third time and in re njonse came the voice of a child crying, "Oh, mamma." Running around to the window Mr. Coch rane railed the name of Mr. Johnson and, receiving no reply hut the piteous crying of tho child, forced oon the door and rushed into the house. Ascending the stairs a hor rible sight met his eyes. Lying at the head of the stairs was the body of Mr. Johnson. The hair was matted with blood, which oozed from a bullet wound in the forehead. A re volver was lying partly under tho body. On a bed close by lay the body of his boy Willie, the face blackened with powder and covered with blood from two ghastly wounds In tho lii ad. On a p Hot at the foot of the bed was the little girl, her face also dabbed with blood from a bullet wound. TIIR lillANTl.T INVITATION, Overcome by the terrible sectaclo, Mr. Cochrane rushed dow n the stairs and rut ot the home to summon help. A messenger was dispatched to Walla Walla to summon the proper authorities, and the neighbors Min reached the scene of the tragedy. On the front door was pinned the following note. 'Come In. 0'ti. Wc are up stairs, all dead." The neighbors entered and ascended the stairs in search of Mrs. Johnson. They found her (lead body in a bed In a room ad' joining thu one in which the others were lying. It was found that a bullet had entered the right side of the forehead of the little gir nd passed out tho left eye. When asked who hurt her she said her brother stuck a stick into her eye. She also stated that her father gave them all lemonade and that her mother screamed. The tittle girt was ten d rly can-d for, and Dm. Mageo and Wil liaiui did all in their power to relievo her sulicriugs. Scattered about the house were found the following note, written in a rranicd hand and abounding in p or spell ing: rt zri ii v kki.ioion. Crpin Cock This deed may seem strange to some, tint I do it, but it is nothing more than that this world is too wicked to live in. I don't want t live any long-r in it.

From the above it appears that Johnson Lad gone insane on religion and deliberately decided to kill his family. His neighbors have always regarded him as being eccentric. It seems that of late he hud been greatly ex cited about religion. A CAVE OF WONDERS. disi ovkiiy or ri:Titmi.i noiuu in a col- OHAlKJ MINK.

Dun's weekly review of trale says: The changes in the busioesa world during the week, though but alight, have been in the right direction. There is a little better movement of products, some improvement in crop prospecu, particularly in cotton, and with more conildcno; and strength in the Cotton market less chance of disturbing with drawals of specie for Europe. In manufac tures all changes are in the direction of improvement, and the rejKirts good from interior points Indicate a volume ol trade exceeding lost year's, and on the whole steadily increas ing. AT TRADE CENTERS. Of all cities reporting this week scarcely one notices dullness In trade and though bus iness is 'rather inactive' at Kansas City, a better demand for money Is seen. At De troit, while general trade is fair, considera ble building is in progress, and collections, slow in some lines, are good In others. Oma ha finds trade good, crops fair; Milwaukee finds excellent crop prosects, except for corn, aud business good; Cnicago rejoices in assurance of abundant crops, and dealings in provisions exceed those ol the fiiuc week lost year by 60 per cent , in wool by 25 per cent., and in live stock and hides by ID sr cent. At Philadelphia there is seen goncral improvement, at Galveston very favorable cro reports give strength, and at Huston there Is a significant harden ing of the money market. Tbo coke strike has ended aud removes apprehension of the closing of many iron-works lu the Pittsburg district. corRsr or rRicEs. In pig trou the price has advanced about 60 cents, and manufactured iron is strong. Tbo glass trado Is good. The copper produ cers have agreed t contiuuo present price. Tin is weuker abroad, but the American demand is larger than ever, arid lead is dull ot 3.H5 cents. In wool and woolen good there is not much change. Sale have been light and spinners still buy sparingly. The market for cotton goods is more sut s fac tory, but tho market for raw cotton does not yield, though the new crop is now ex pected to be large, and from two to three weeks earlier. In boots and shoes the se verity of competition makes profits very narrow. Rubber is weak and declining. With steady improvement in tho reports from the Northwest, wheat has declined three-eighths of a cent on sules of only 8,iJ,OX) bushels, aud corn half a cent on sales of 5,ot),o bushels. Oats are near ly a cent lower ami hogs 10 cents per I'M poundi. Iu oil there is an advance of half a cent, and in coll'ee prices have been lifted three fourths of a cent.

At Praddock, Pa., Friday, warrants were Issued for the the arrest of ten of the Carrie Furnace strikers on a charge of rioting, pre ferred by Deputy Sheriff Pasooe. The warrant were placed in the hands of Constable P. J. Murphy, who Went to the furnace, accompanied by Constables Sweeney, and J. B. Carney, Deputy Sheriff J. F. Richey, Richard Cunningham and Pasooe. The striken, to the number of 100, were standing around the furnace armed with clubs, who com menced demonstrations of hostile manner when the officers approached. Constable Murphy stepped forward and after telling the strikers who he was and what he was there for, warned them that it was better to submit now entirely than to be compelled to do so by a posse, and possibly after much blood would be shed. He gave them to un derstand that tho men wanted would be ar rested now or later, and better now. The striken expressed a willingness to submit, and as Constablo Murphy called the roll of the men wanted they stepped out of the ranks of the strikers and were taken In charge by the other officers. When all had been secured the officers and their prisoners started to walk to llraddock station, two miles away, aud t be other strik ers followed, but made no demonstrations which seemed to Indicato to the ofllccrs that there would be no trouble, and the prisoners were not ' handcuffed. Tho ofllccrs were compelled to wait nearly an hour at Brad dock for the east-bound train, and while waiting in the station the crowd increased to nearly 1,000 I en. When the train arrived and the officers were Just about to board tho train with their charges, they were seized behind, while the crowd yelled to the prisoner to run, which they started to do, but the officers held tenaciously to their men and only live suc ceeded in getting away. The passengers on the train were panic ftricken, and many of" them jumped from tho car windows. Constable Murphy has about 25 warrunts for men charged with rioting at the furnace, and will enter Infor mation against those who assisted in th rescue of the five who escaped. SUGAR CORNER. Reports arc in circulation that the Sugar Trust has shout completed negotiations with an English-German syndicate to get the su gar markets of the world under one supreme control. The plan contemplates bonding for a short term all the principal plantations of Cuba, tbe Philip nn Islands, Java and Mauritius, which would place the main source of raw supply under the control of the syndicate. The surplus stocks of unrefined beet su gars of Germany and France aro to be ac cumulate I in store for shipment to America at the proper time. Tho supply of raw cane sugar will be curtailed by at least t! ree fifths. All surplus uurellucd beet sugar will be shipped to America. This would create a deficiency in Germany, France und Eng land, while the American supply would still be short. It is estimated that tho Sugar Trust and tho Anglo-German partners would at least pay 25 per con . upoi, a capi tal of IIOO.OI.OJO, which, according to the rumor, will be necessary to accomplish this fc'gantic scheme.
