He was wounded during the recent war between the States, m which he was an officer in the Confederate army, and to this wound, and the great expo sure to which he was subjected, Bragg has attributed his constant ailments during recent, years. His death, how ever, was entirely unexpected by his associates, by whom he was greatly re spected and valued.

Judge Cobb, of the Police Court; "with Attor ney -General Barnard and Solicitor Mitchell, accompanied by citizens, went to Almy's room in the Wheelock house this morning to conduct the preliminary examination ot the murderer. Almy, in reply to Attorney General Barnard's question as to how he felt, said he had - not any sleep and was in pain all night. The complaint against the murderer, which was in the customary form, was sjgned by N. A. Frost, and was read to Almy as he lay on his cot. When asked to plead, he hesitated and said, "I don't know what to .do." Turning to Sheriff Foster, a near neighbor of the Warden family with whom he was well acquaint ed, he inquired: "What would you do, Henry?" Foster replied: "I don't know, Frank," Attorney General Bar nard then suggested that it was - always safe to plead "not guilty" and in that way his plea stands recorded. He waiv ed examination and was committed without bail. It was learned from physicians that the pain ofwJxich Almy complained was . - morronTapples of which he had so raveneously eaten and which tempted him from his hiding place in Warden's barn Wednesday, night, than from his wound. Though he did not sleep, he was apparently much rested and he looks brighter. EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS, Of Considerable Severity in .Missouri and Illinois No Serious Damage. Eeported.

It could not be claimed that Liverpool dis appointed our bulls for futures as that market made an advance equal to 9 of of our points, and fully maintained it. But there seems to be no higher aim among our room traders than to get a "scalp" as opportunity may offer. Con sequently they sold freely at the open ing prices, and a decline soon followed. The rally was due to the echo of Liver pool market from out of town points. When this support was withdrawn prices again gave way. - STEAMER EL DORADO.
