The Jury impaneled by Coroner Swanson to Investigate the death of William Walker returned the following verdict at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon : "That William Walker came to bis death from a blow or blows at the hands of An drew Dupont at a prize fight held at Hlum's hall In South Omaha on the night of Octo ber 17 , 1598. We further nnd that the fight was held In violation of the laws ] of this state. The evidence further discloses ' that the chief of police , John C. Carroll , I was present at the fight before It began and during the entire time of Bald fight. That he , said Carroll , had knowledge that such fight was to take place before It began i and when It was In progress. That ho de manded the sum of $25 before he would ] allow the fight to begin and continue. We therefore recommend that Iloth Andrew Du- jiont and John C. Cnrroll bo held to answer for the death of William Walker. " The Jury which listened to the testimony and rendered the verdict given above was composed of id Johnston , George k. Dare , T. H. Hatcher , Joseph Slpe , John Haab and John Sautter. Coroner Swanson held the Inquest in the oUlcp at Brewer's undertaking establish ment. County Attorney /laldrlgo and As sistant County Attorney Jeffries conducted the examination of the witnesses for the state. TJr. J. r. Summers , Jr. , of Omaha was the flrsl witness. The doctor testified to having made a post-mot tern examination of the body and described the operation In detail. Iti his opinion death "was caused by pres sure on the brain of a clot of blood which had been formed by the rupture of a blood vessel. It appeared to be a difficult matter to secure witnesses to testify bcforo the Jury , but after considerable } chasing around on the part of Manager Ilucklcy of Brewer's establishment three men who were wit nesses of the fight and were willing to tes tify were found. AV'lint a CiirneiiJer Snw. Matthew Smith , n carpenter , whose homo- Is at Twenty-first nnd N streets , testified that ho witnessed the fight. He said that ho saw IJupont hit Walker a number of tlmenTra the breast and face. Both fighters wemlown a couple of times during the twelve rounds. As Walker started to fall in the last round Dupont struck him twice , once with his right nnd once with bis left hand. Witness then described how Walker's seconds picked him up nnd carried him to his corner. Dr. W. J. McCiann was the next witness. Ho'stated ' that lie. was called to Blum's ball after the fight and found Walker In a comatose - toso condition. This condition was fre quently brought about by shock. Witness aaid that Walker never regained conscious ness , although at one time a slight Improve ment for the better was noticed. On the morning following the fight evidence of con cussion of the brain showed itself. In the opinion of the witness It was a blow on the , Jaw which caused concussion of the brain , which was primarily the cause of death. Olrver Piper , Twritj * " slltf and I , streets , testified that ho was a carpenter and had l.cen asked by Tom McGuIre to set four posts In nium's ball for the light. Ho received no money for this work , but stayed to see the fight. He did not know any of the seconds ends , neither was he acquainted with the timekeepers or referee. When nskcd to name those present with whom ho was acquainted Hinted that he saw Fred Daniels , Matthew Smith , Mike Ford , Pat Ford , Billy Hughes. Chief Carroll and several policemen. The fight , Including the last round , was described by the witness and then ho was excused. Chief Can oil was telephoned for and re sponded promptly. Ho was requested by Mr. Baldrigo to take the stand and In reply to a question said that he was at the fight Witness raid that he learned of the flghl through the newspapers nnd he went to the hall nnd talked with Tom McGuIre about it Witness was Introduced to Walker by Me- Otilre. who stated that the contest was to be n friendly bet-to. When asked about the gloves used witness stated that they were of medium size but professed Ignorance as to the weight. Ho told Captain Allle and two or three more officers to remain in the ball and preserve order. In connection with the referee , witness said that some ono in troduced him as Monahan of San Francisco. Witness further stated that ho had in his possession a warrant for Monahan's arrest , but eo far had been unable to find him. At torney Baldrigo then asked witness to de- Ncrlbo the fight nnd the story was gone over ngaln. The knockout blows were described In detail by the witness. Mr. Baldrigo then asked the witness If ho remembered who at tended the fight and half a dozen names were mentioned , among them being Hodle Itcdmond , Tom McGtilre , John Walker , Oliver Piper and Fred Smith. Witness de nied knowing any of the seconds or bottle holders , neither did ho know the timekeep ers. ers.Fred Fred Daniels , who gave his occupation as a drayman and his home as Twenty-sixth and N streets , was celled next.

McCouucll Drue Co , Sam Walker , one of the brothers of the dead pugilist. tfMlflPd that his brother had the understanding that If $125 was taken In J25 was to go to the mayor. Witness then told the story of the fight nnd snld that there was no hard hitting until the tenth round. In describing the last round witness said that Dupont first hit his brother under the chin , which stunned him , and his Jaw fell. Hupont then delivered an uppercut and Walker started to fall forward on his knees. The third blow waa struck on the back of the head , as Walker fell. Upon being questioned about fixing the matter with the police witness stated that the mayor pent Chief Carroll to collect ? 25 bcforo the fight commenced. When the matter - tor was argued a little witness said that Carroll remarked , "Hy God , this fight won't go until I get $25. " This remark was made to witness and another man In the ticket office. Witness stated that he told Carroll that If $25 was taken out of the gate re- celpts nothing would be left for the fight- ere. Cvrn this did not soften the heart of the chief , who still held out for the amount first demanded. Witness then described how ho counted out the money and how It was paid to Carroll. Prior to the payment of the money and Just after the first demand was made by Carroll witness said that ho j tried to Induce his brother to give up the Idea of fighting nnd go home. His brother refused to listen to him and the hat was passed among the crowd for the purpose of making up the deDclt caused by the dona- tlon to the police. J. M. Walker , another brother of the de- coabcd. testified that the morning after the fight Carroll came to him nnd offered to do what was right. Wltneia said he told the chief he better give up the amount ob- talned the night before. This was not done , lowcver , and Carroll left after agreeing to do anything ho could for the Injured man. Witness stated that Carroll had secured a couple of doctors and had otherwise shown an Inclination to square himself. This closed the testimony with the excep tion of the statements made by two news- , mper men and the Jury took a recess for an hour. Upon reconvening at 1 ! o'clock the Jury went Into executive session and in the course of llttlo less than an hour rendered the verdict printed above. Cnrrull Not AVorrleil. When told of the verdict rendered by Iho | ury Chief Carroll merely cave a little chuckle and said nothing. Mayor Cnaor still maintains that ho knew nothing about the affair and denies having made any deal with the Walkers for a portion of the gate re ceipts as waa testified to. The mayor also denies knowing anything about the payment of $25 to Carroll. Walker's remains wore forwarded to Dee Molnes last night for Ilucklcn'M Arutua Halve.

Exchange Abroad Mainly Affected by Polit ical Uncertainties in Europe , ENORMOUS EXPORTS STAGGER PROPHETS IIIIP In Wheat Would lime lloi-ii ( Jreutor Hut for rrclliiR Tlutt the Fore I mi Dcinnnil Would Not Lnnt. NnW YORK. Oct. 21. R. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will eay : With growing demand for American prod ucts exchange Is influenced mainly by po litical uncertainties abroad. While Europe . awaits the outcome between England and France about the Upper Nile , the financiers of all European countries are trying to force upon each other the burden of providing cash for the enormous demands of the United States. England has so managed as to make Franco and Germany send most of the gold and the resulting war of exchanges between foreign nations checks for the moment the movement of gold this way. Yet thcso and ill other causes do not so far hinder bus- ness as to prevent nn excess over the most > roaperous of previous years. The exchanges hrough all clearing houses for the past week have been 1.6 per cent larger than last year and 1.7 larger than In 1SI2. ! but outside New- York transactions were smaller than In 1S02. The outgo of wheat staggers nil prophets of disasters , but , while the price has ad vanced 3 cents at the west , the rise would nave been much greatet but for the feeling : hat the enormous foreign demand would not last. Exports of wheat , Hour Included , have been 3,330.539 bus-hols last week at Atlantic ports , against 3,3.)0SG7 last year ; 'JL'3,938 bushels from Pacific ports , against 1,21)5,104 ) last year , making for the three weeks 11.- 9S4.53S bushels , against 14,227,390 bushels last week. Without doubt , many western farmers are still holding hack their wheat and yet the receipts at the chief western points have been In three weeks 30,33nil bushels , against 23,725,801 lost ye.ir. It Is significant that this demand continues after foreign crops , which officially are re ported ns fairly large , have been almost everywhere harvested. The corn exports continue large , 2,634,411 , against 652,377 last year , and 7,007,000 bushels for three weeks , against 3.914,764 last year , and , although It Is the bottom point of the year for corn , prices have risen nearly 114 cents during the week. Whllo cotton spinners are said to have agreed upon a selling agency and a curtail ment of production , there Is a better demand for staple goods und prospect of a better de mand In future. In woolen coeds also there has been a marked Improvement during the past week and better sales , with extensive Inquiry. This Is reflected In the larger trans actions In the woolen market , sales having amounted for the past week to 4Uoj,400 ( pounds , of which 2,714,000 were domestic , making for the last three weeks 1,836,100 Bounds , against 31.1C2.190 for the same week last year , 20,7G5iOO for the same week in 189C and 19,481,530 for the same week In 1S92. Sales in Boston have been the largest for nearly two months , but at some conces sions in price , which are not published In public quotations. With orders for the next season , manufacturers are together encour aged by the Increase and have reason to be lieve that the expected demand has set In. But there is vet the fact that the current demand Is largely for low-priced goods. There Is much hesitation in the Iron and steel trade , partly because the outcome of various combinations In Bessemer pig , steel rails , bars , wire nails and the like cannot yet be definitely anticipated. If general buying was expected to result from these movements It has not appeared thus far. Yet prices of domestic products have not declined and , although the tone Is somewhat weaker for bars and plates , auntntlnna < .r in part sus tained by considerable orders for export. The plato mills hove received orders lor 25,000 tons from the government for ship purposes and the bar and billet mills have a ery encouraging demand. Failures for the week have been 221 in the United States , against 224 last year and twenty-lour in Canada , against thirty-six last year. ItlSVIEW OF THE STOCK MAHKHT. Advance of Government Iloniln a Fu- vorablc Symptom nf the Tlnien. NCW YORK. Oct. 21. Bradstreefs Finan cial Review tomorrow will say : Dullness of a profound kind settled down on the stock market this week. On at .sast two days the total trading on the Stock exchange fell to less than 150.000 shares nnd throughout tbo week the imbllo has been absent and the transactions entirely profes sional. The disposition on all bands Is to wait for the election and the outcome of the foreign political complications. The ilsu of the European money markets nnd the threatened trouble between England nnd France have led to some selling by London In our market. In spite of the dullness the waiting and the unfavorable and disturbing outlook abroad , prices have not declined , save In a few special cases , and the under tone of the market was strong. The public Is not selling , even If It will not buy se curities at present , and holders seem to bo encouraged by the ease of money , the sat isfactory railroad earnings and traffic and the heavy export purchase of our brcadstuffs. The professional short Interest has consequently quently been forced to cover from time to time and the market , as a whole , displayed greater readiness to advance than to sell off Bonds have been dull but firm , though the demand for governments and the advance of the new 3 per cent bonds to 10574 were among the few features of the week. The abundance of capital for investment Is shown by the large buying of bills of foreign ex change that Is now In progress and by the utterance of our money market to the rise of discounts and recent marking up of bank rates not only by London but the continental financial centers. imAUSTIlECT'S HKVIEW OF THADE. Distributive Trade In Went Suffers from Had Weiither CoiiilltlonH. NEW YORK. Get 21. Bradstreefs tomor row will sav. The dominant feature of the general bus iness situation Is unquestionably the active foreign demand for wheat , flour and Indeed all our cereal products , and the business re ported on this account during the past ten days seems worthy of rank with the highest recorded In anv corresponding period. Whllo straitened stocks abroad nnd less satisfactory advices from other countries , notably Russia , Austria and Argentina , have furnished a plausible basis for much of the recent activity , an additional stimulating feature tvas Inlected into the fltuntlon thin week by the more warllko appearance of the Franco-British situation and the earlier davs witnessed rumors which were practl- cnllv in command of the market. There was short covering by steadfast bears. Lest the rther moderate figures of cur rent export should prove disappointing , in view of the heavy engagements reported , It might bo remarked that much of this de mand Is necessarily what might be termed forwarded business , and Indeed stocks In this country , in spite of heavy current de liveries by farmers , could hardly allow ot prompt shipment , even If the ocean freight situation wan not a strained one. Freight rates have acted aa a deterrer on this expert - port business. General distributive trade , particularly at the north , appears to have suffered from bad weather conditions this week , wbl-h have interfered with regular business nnd deliveries , but. on the other hand , have In duced considerable buying of boots ana ihoes , rubber goods and heavy doting at many markets. The alluvion at the south Is rather more favorable than for some time past , this resulting mainly from the ubm i- tlon of many senseless quarantine regula tions ai a remit of the advance of the frost line southward toward the gulf. Some Impor tant changes In the situation of textile goods and particularly cotton and wool products appear to be Impending. Rather moro firm- UPSS baa been Imparted to the former staple by the talk of frost checking further growth of the plant in the south and the establish ment at Fnll River of the long-expected and long-threatened joint selling agency for print cloth * and similar goods has stiffened ttf .price of thoio products quite materially. In wool and woolen goods , too , signs of Im provement are a trifle more numerous The foreign trade situation is about ns described last week , except that large de crease. ' In n few leading exports have been partly made up by Increased shipments of American manufactures. and the nine months' figures point to a complete calendar year's business In advance of all predeces sors In volume of export rade. Our Import trade begins to show light Increases over corresponding periods a year ago , and the substitution of dutiable for non-dutiable goods in this movement points to on easier position In the customs situation. Since July 1 , this year , tin- exports of wheat aggregate 61.210.SS9 buihels , against 72.472.203 bushels last year. Corn exports for the week aggregate 2,307.- 191 bushels , against 2.7.292 bushels last week 1,177.543 bushels In this week a year ago , 2.979.9S4 bushels In 1896 , 1,343,050 hush- els In 1S95 and 92.0S7 bushels in 1894. Since July 1 , this year , corn exports ag gregate 44,345,134 bushels , against 47.020.3G1 bushels during the same period n year ago. Business failures In the United States this week number 213. twentv less than last week and comparing with 205 In thin week n year ago ; 212 In 1896. 279 In 1S95 and 221 In 1S91.
