A Sad Story.
Chicago, Aug. 23,—Today the remark-
S3"
able case of Geo. Dunning,tbe first biviy
of which appeared in several papers sev*
eral days ago, the name then given as
Donahue, was given in an authoritative
form for !be first time. In an interview
held in the Joliet prison, where Duntiing
is still confined, he himself told the
strange story which has been current
sometime In au exhaustive inquiry in
the Chicago papers.it is said to have been
confirmed in every detail. Dunning is hu
intelligent looking fellow, twenty-three
years of age, with a smooth, rosy com-
plexion, and an appearance that might
take the fancy of almost any susceptible
young girl, fle was very reticent when
asked about how he had been railroaded
to the penitentiary, ostensibly for bur-
glary, but really for having won the
heart of a millionaire's daughter,and how
the iniUionaire afterwards had been
blackmailed by an editor who learned
the facts. Dunning was sentenced to
four years' imprisonment, and has seven
months yet before him. The young fel-
low whose fault tn the millionaire's eyes
seems to have been his bumble station,
said that the story regarding his meeting
and acquaintanoe with the millionaire's
daughter was a trne one. Dunning was
a newspaper circulator, handling a route
on the North Side. While in the pursuit
of his calling he went to the millionaire's
<ioor early every morning and was sur-
prised after a time to learn he had be-
come an object of interest to the only
daughter, a handsome young girl just
about entering society, and chatting un-
der the restraints that had been placed
upon her, the lovers gradually came to
meet about daybreak every morning for
a few blissful moments at the door of the
millionaire's mansion. An intimation of
the situation reached the prospective
father in law, and Dunning was soon
afterward called to South Chicago, osten
sibly to see a gentleman regarding his
sweetheart, while there he was met by
a person named Frank Allen, with
whom he was slightly acquainted. Sud-
denly as the two were standing together
officers came up and arrested them on the
•charge of burglary. Both were tried,
convicted and sentenced to four years
each. A few days after Allen's
senctence was reduced to one year, and
after Dunning had been taken to the
penitentiary Allen's sentence was again
cut down by the ho nus pocus of a new
trial and he was released after a week in
jail. When Dunning was arrested he
was penniless, but the girl who loved
him had sold her trinkets and hired a
young lawyer to defend him. The mil"
lionaire found out who the lawyer was,
bought him off, and the latter persuaded
Dunning to plead guilty as the only
■means of saving him from a long sen-
tence. A hint of the real facts was
obtained by an editor, who subsequently
tigurel iu the story. The editor was
at the tima on the verge of financial
ruin and instead of publishing the
tiews he promptly blackmails the million-
aire. Ten thousand dollars was the price
of the newspaper man's silence. When
the young unfortunate entered the Joilet
prison it is said the officials were in-
structed to put him at the hardest and
most trying work in tbe penitentiary.
Dunning was a man of slight build and
was soon badly used up. had a hacking
cough and in every way presented a sick-
ening appearance. A police official, who
was an enemy of the editor and for per-
sonal reasons was running down the
latter's part in the affair, was horrified on
going to the prison to find the pitiable
plight of Dunning. The police mogul
used all his influence with the
officials at the penitentiary to
have him removed from tbe quarters.
He was then in, and lighter work given
him. At this time there had been two
attempts made to get Dunning pardoned
but some reason or other the attempts
proved fruitless. Dunning was allowed
to languish in prison despite everything
until today. He appeared to fear to dis-
cuss his strange experience, thinking it
would cause him trouble when he regatns
his liberty. When asked if he knew
what had become of the lady, he stated
that he had heard she was engaged and
would soon be married to a Chicago
man.

Onn'i Report.
New ¥oek, Aug. 16.—It. Q. Dun
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
The monetary pressure, of which so
many warnings have been given, has
operated this week to modify the im-
provement in general trade, is due to ex-
cellent crop prospects. It is quite the
fashion in stock exchange circles to res
present the rise in leading rules as artiti
cial, and Intended to affect the prices of
stock, but the truth is that speculation of
various sorts had previously withdrawn
too much money from the support of
legitimate business, and the productive
industry and tendency of apprehension
as to the future has been to cut down
time loans still farther, while many lend-
ers preferred to place their money on
call with readily negotiated collaterals.
Tie treasury meanwhile has been collect*

people at large, but disbursing

The money market is tight, and banks
scrutinize closely though they have but
little to spare.
At Boston the banks supply customers
but discriminate very closely. Here the
demand for commercial paper is very
light, and four months' paper ranges
from 6 to 7| per cent The money mar-
kets of interior cities are far better sup-
plied. At Chicago, by liberal receipts

points, because the demand as yet

prospects for fall trade, consequent upon
large crops. At Chicago the actual trans-
actions are about equal to last year, in
closing a little larger in boots and shoes
and 18 per cent larger in dry goods. The
grocery trade improves at most points,
excepting as to sugar, for w uieh tbe de-
mand has been much affected by the op-

The business failures number 306 as

figures were 214.

Washington, Aug. 23.—Acting Indian
Commissioner Bell has received a tele-
gram from Agent Roman, at Flathead
Indian Agency in Montana, in which he
says that the trouble with the Flatheads
at Domersville, which is one hundred
miles from tbe agency and off the reser-
vation, was undoubtedly caused by
whisky. The Indians, he says, buy from
people at the head of Flathead Lake all
the liquor they can pay for, and drunk-
enness is very frequent among them.
One Indian has been killed. The agent
is making an investigation.
The Indian bure iu has re""'—A **""*t?gh
Indian Agent Cole at C< eville y,
Washington Territory,a r.^.j .. jpe-
cial Agent Welton, to a letter of inquiry
relative to the arrest of certain Indian
murderers on the Coleville reservation.
The special agent in his letter to the
agent says that after learning that only
territorial courts have jurisdiction in such
cases, made complaint to District Attor-
ney Jones, who refused to prosecute on
the grounds that he did not think that if
arrested and they had to appear before
any grand jury could be
found that would report a
true bill against one Indian
for killing another, as such was not par-
ticularly objectionable or uupjpular with
the white people of Stevens, or adjacent
counties, hence it would be Incurring
much expense without any benedcial
results. In fact he (Jones) could not
see that it was a matter of any concern to
the tax ; paying citizens, so long as no
white person was killed. The Indian
bureau officials will take such action as
may be necessary to enforce the laws for
the protection of Indians within the juris
diction of the Coleville agency
Tbe Presidential Party.
