A Rome Tribune reporter has had an in
teresting talk with Mr. McKee, the hus
band of the pretty young woman who Is
now on trial for her life. Mr. McKee said:
"I could not, under any circumstances, be
lieve that wife committed the heino scrim- e
with which she stands accused. We hi th*
been man and wife a number of years, | *4,
by my hope of heaven, we have yet to have
the first harsh word. She could always get,
and did have whatever she wished, so far as
1 was able, and us she knew my circum
stances financially, she could lave at any
time gotten $125 without committing such
a crime, by asking for it. Why, at the
time Mrs. VVimpee died, I bal SI,OOO to my
credit at McGhee & Bros., aud the books
will show it.” Then he continued: “I
have now in my possession notes given by
Mrs. W impee to me for S3JO borrowed—
money that I borrowed to loan to her be
cause she offered such high rates of interest.
My wife knew all of this, and knew that
she oould get money from me at any time.”
Turning to the reporter Mr. McKee said:
“There are things that will cotno out on
this tr.al, of which I am not at liberty to
speak, but I can say that I think Mrs. Dietz
a heartiest woman to testify so flippautly
in this matter,”

The stock market to-day was more active
than on any previous day of the week, and in
the main showed a decided y strong tone, and
some marked advances were scored among a
few stocks which lead the market. The bank
statement was not as favorable a< was ex
pected, but the decrease of over $2,000,00) In
the surplus reserve was nearly accounted for
by the Increase in loans, and the statement, on
the whole, indicates that the movement of
money from this center is near y over. Tde
bullish fieling ran comparatively high in the
early trading, and Sugar. Cordage. Grangers,
and Manhattan all rose rapidly; while all
Grangers,Sugar and Chicago Gas were specie ly
active. Reading was a weak point on real.za
tions on the s iarp rise of the last few days, but
1 percent, marked tbe extent of its recession.
The general list was neglected as usual, and
among the greater number of stocks trad-din
there was scarcely any perceptible rise in
prices, but dealings in leaders gave character
to tne entire list. Tne upward movement at
tained its limit after !I o'clock and before the
1 üblication of the bank statement, after which
there ,ias a slight recession in the list, with
comparative dullness in the late trading. Tne
close was quiet and rather heavy, but still at or
near the best prices of the day. Transactions
in listed stocks rescued 99,651 shares a id in un

The Nun* cotton review says: "Future;
were easier, clos.ng partiauy one point lower,
but business was unusually good for Saturday
Tnere was a further depression in the Liverpool
market, and it was b lieved that the movement
of the crop will continue to show great exres i
over last year, but the weather reports from
the south were not very promising for the next
crop. Warm, dry weather is much needed 011
tba Atlantic coast and in the northern belt,
while from Texas complaints of drought are
beard. Spot cotton was very dull.”

acted in unison with wh~at. The entire crowd
started to underbid each other, offers to sell
varying all the way down from $1 05 to $1 0114.
and there wa no buying to speak of above the
lowest of these prices. The trading was enor
mous for a few minutes, but the vast number
of selling orders in the hands of commission
houses limited all around $1 05 wore impossible
of execution. It was difficult to account for the
very sudden change. From $1 0354 May wheat
recovered to $1 0494. hesitated which direcion
to take next, then slumped to Si 0394- The
market lifted itself in a weakly manner when
tho closing cables to the board of trade came
in. reacting May to $1 03%, but although those
toreigu advices were of unusual strength, there
was no further response, and the bears con
tinued in possession to the close, which was at
81 03)4 for May. The corn market started with
sellers at 8894 c for May and 5594 c for July. The
few sales which could be effected at these prices
at the opening were the highest prices that
could be effected all day. Tne weakness be
came very pronounced, and a decline immedi
ately took place before it rail ed again. There
was ar. oorery to 6594 c. and for some time
business w as quiet, but the market again broke,
recovering slightly ana close 1 at G7*4c, or lc
lower than it dkl yesterday. Oats followed other
cereals pretty closely. The market was excited
at the opening, when Mac sold at 5854 c, with a
few trades as high as 54®54%c and others at
5494 c. The price went off to 54c, fluctuated
around 54©5 0.4 c and closed at the lowest point
of the day—s394c, Indicating 94c decline. The
hog market was quoted considerably higher at
the yards, and, influenced bylhat, the provis
ion market started strong. The weakness in
grain of all kinds turned prices down and the
closings were at near the bottom of the day s
range.
