TRADE REVIEW,
REPORTED FOR WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER
2187, BY DUNN & CO., OF NEW YORK,
R. G. Dunn & Co.’s weekly review of
trade says: Throughout the country the
state of business is encouraging., Stocks
have not quite maintained tghe recent ad
vance, and have relapsed into dullness,
with sales of less than 90,000 shares for
‘the weck, the chief cause bering the
western railroad wars. The speculition
in breadstuffs and cotton has been slight
ly lower than the range of prices, with
but moderate transactions. Oil specula
tion is a shade stronger, and provision
steady. Reports from cities for the past
week correspond fairly with clearings
outside of New York, which show an in
«crease over last year of about four per
«cent in the aggregate, At Philadelphia,
money is active and jobbing in the dry
goods trade continues good; grocery
trade improves, exceeding last year's;
paper trade decidedly revives; liquor
trade is active, and drugs and chemicals
moderately active; but in wool there is
very little movement. At Chicago there
is a decline in the receipts of wool and
of grain, higher prices for wheat, leading
the farmers to hold back, but there is a
large increase in provisions. Trade in
dry goods and other merchandise is
quiet, after the exceptional activity of
August. For the year thus far, trade
exceeds last year’s, Milwaukee reports
constantly improving business with ac
tive money. Kansas City reports busi
ness and collections fair, an average sea
son, and Cleveland increasing activity,
especially in iron ore, with prospect for
higher rate for money. At Omaha,
great crops give good business and col
lections, and at Pittsburg further im
provement is seen in Besscmer iron and
steel, in coke and in coal with resumption
of glass works at 0% per cent. higher
wages, Southern reports also are all en
couraging as to crop propsects and pres
ent trade. These specimens illustrate the
general tenor of the reports. Great in
dustries appear to be gradually improv
ing in condition. While improvement is
slow in wool manufacture, there is clearly
more active demand at Boston, and sales
of wool there during the week were 3,-
258,000 pounds, including some former
sales just made public, but a larger
movement, mainly in fine wished fleece,
has been secured by concessions in prices.
In the iron business confusion increases,
because Southern coke number one foun
dry is offered at $16.75 for delivery to
end of January, while anthracite number
one sells at sl7 to $lB and higher for
special brands, but consumption is enor
mous and seems about equal to the large
production. Large contracts for struc
tural iron in Chicago and St. Louis ele
vated roads have been taken in Eastern
Pennsylvania, and the orders for rails on
the books September 1, were 1,185,000
tons. Copper has remained dull, aod
though 500 tons tin are reported on the
way, spot is still quoted at s2l 87. The
partial failure of potato and fruit crops,
and injury to both by recent storms,
cause an advance in prices, and the gen
eral average for commodities is now about
one per cent, higher than Sept. 1. The
movement of cattle and fresh
beef to England attracts much attention,
exports having been made over 90,000
head of cattle and 40,000,000 pounds of
fresh beef within three months, ending
with August, besides 84,000,000 pounds
cured or canned beef. With the National
Steamship line engaged in transporting
cattle rather than passengers, this move
ment seems likely to increase largely.
Business failures occurring throug%iout
the country during the past week: Num
ber for the United States 177; Canada 81;
total 198, against 193 last week.
A FATAL WRECK.
AN ENGINE CRASHES INTO A PASSENGER
COACH—FIVE PEOPLE KILLED.
A frightful disaster to a suburban pas
senger train occurred Tuesday night in
the southern cutskirts of Chicago, Il
The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
train, which left the main depot for Llue
Island, was crashed into by a freight
train at tho Lake Shore and Pan Handle
crossings near KEighty-seventh street,
Englewcod. The passenger train was at
a standstill, one coach projecting over
the crossing. Into this coach, contain
ing about sixty persons, plunged the
freight train. The wreck of the passen
ger coach was instant and complete.
When a thorough search through the
debris had been made, it was found that
three women and two men had been
killed outright, and a third man was in
a dying condition. Three other persons
were seriously injured. The five dead
were conveyed to Englewood morgue.
The list of the killed is: Mrs. Kelly,
J. McKinzie, Fred Huebner, Mrs. Brown
and an unknown woman, all of Washing
ton Heights. Those most seriously in
jured are: Gus Mulcany, fatally hurt;
Miss A. K. Steele, Anton Shuberg and
Parker Harden. The wreck appears to
be entirely due to the almost criminal
carelessness of the engineer of the fieight
train, who disregarded signals, and is
supposed to have been drunk. at the time.

AN OKLAHOMA RIOT.
AN ATTEMPT TO HOLD AN ELECTION
SQUELCHED BY UNITED STATES TROOPS.
A sgecial from Oklahoma to the Kansas
City 'imes says: ‘‘Saturday was one of
the most exciting days in the history of
the city. About six weeks ago a {action
of citizens, after failing to indace the
council to call for a convention for the
purpose of framing an amended charter,
framed one themselves and called an
election for the people to vote onit. As
it provided for the immediate ousting of
the present city government, United
States troops, under authority of General
Merritt, prevented the election. The
original charter faction called an election
on their charter for Saturday, again '
without the consent of the mayor and
council. General Merritt again sent or
ders to Colonel Snyder to prevent the
election, and Captain Stiles, in command
of the troops, carried out these orders at
the point of the bayonet. The polls
were opened, and a large crowd assem
bled. A number of persons endeavored
to vote, when Captain Stiles threw his
company across the street and gave the
command to charge. The company en
countered no opposition to their prog
ress. The leaders of the Charter faction
then rushed to another place and declared
the polls opened again. Captain Stiles
repeated his charge, and again cleared
the street. This operation was repeated
at other wards where the faction at
tempted to vote, but were routed each
time by the troops. The leaders of the
charter faction, after consulting with
Captain Stiles, then advised the crowd
to disperse. The advice was followed
and the excitement subsided. Nine of
the leaders were afterwards arrested on
the charge of conspiracy against the au
thority of the United States and city
governments.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
[HE MACHINERY FAILS, AND AN ELECTRIC
CAR DASHES DOWN THE MOUNTAIN.
An accident occurred Friday morning
on the electric railroad running from
the foot to the top of Mission
Ridge at Chattanooga, Tenn.
The car had nearly reached the top of the
very steep track, when the machinery
failed, and the car started down the
mountain at great speed. The motor
man tried to stop the car with the brakes,
but failing in this, the conductor shouted
to the passengers to jump from the car,
The car contained fifty people, all of
whom were visitors to the re-union of
the Army of the Cumberland, one half
the party being ladies. Then there was
a scene of wild excitement and the panic
seizing all on board, they began leaging
rapidly down the mountain side. ive
or six persons who remained on
the car were uninjured, as when
the load was partially removed from the
car it stopped before reaching the foot
of the ridge. Mrs. Mary Adams, of
Casey, Illinois, in jumping from the car,
received injuries from which she died.
Wm. Minford, of Casey, lilinois, in
jumping from the car, struck in a mass
of barbed wire and was badly cut. About
a dozen others were terribly injured,
and it is feared that some of them will
die.
A DARING ROBBERY.
A BANK SAFE OPENED BY BURGLARS, WHO
| MAKE WAY WITH $59,875.
One of the most daring and successful
robberies ever committed in the state, is
reported from Hurley, Wis. $59,895
was taken from a vault in the Iron Ex
change bank, of that city, Saturday
night, which was left at the bank for
safe keeping over night by the United
States kxpress company. The cashier
put the money inside of the iron vault
aud left shortly after 9 o’clock. A light
was left burning in the office, and a few
minutes after 9 o’clock a man was seen
working at the safe, but he had on the
cashier’s office coat, and nothing was
thought of it by thcse who passed the
bank. The cashier returned shortly after
11 o’clock, when he discovered that the
money was missing. No trace of the rob
bers has yet been found. The express
company had no receipt for the money
{from the bank officials. :
ST. LOUIS IN THE RING.
EFFORTS MADE TO HAVE THE WORLD'S
FAIR IN THE METROPOLIS OF MISSOURL
A well attended meeting of prominent
officials of roads centering at Bt. Louis,
Mo., revealed the fact that great interest
is being taken by them in the World’s
Fair and that active efforts will be made
by them to have it held in that city.
An assessment of $1,000,000 on the rail
roads will be promptly subscribed and in
all likelihood that sum will be exceeded
by them. A meeting of newspaper pro
prietors also brought out subscriptions
largely in excess of the sum assessed
u})on them. The individual subscriptions
of the daily papers are: Globe-Democrat,
$20,000; Republic, $20,000; Post-Dis
patch, $15,000; Star, $5,000; Chronicle,
$2,000.

Three Rude Scamps Well Answered.
Two or three idle young men were
lounging around a street corner the ‘
other evening just as the down town
stores were sending home their employes.
“Let’s have some fun with the girls,”’
said the ringleader of the trio. “‘See
that girl in the front seat of the grip?
Let’s sveak to her.” Then, as the car
stopped at the corner, the impudent
fellow tipped his hat, with, ¢‘Why,how
do you do, Kitty Johnson!” ¢‘Why,"
says another, ‘4f that isn’t Kitty John
son!” “How d’ye do, Kitty!” said the
third. The young lady, a young, pretty,
ladylike girl was surprised and indig.
nant. Her face grew red and white by
turns. Most of the passengers under
stood the situation. Finally, the girl,
her eyes twinkling with merriment, and
- conscious of the support of her fellow
passengers, answered in a clear, ringing
voice that every passenger could hear,
¢“Why, how do you do, Tom, Dick and
Harry! When did you get out of jail?
Who went bail for you all?”” The car
started up amid a storm of applause,
~ while the dudes on the corner smiled
sickly grins at each other. —Chicago

A traveler who climbed the snow-cov

the officer in charge of the Bigoal Ser

the heat of summer,” he said, ‘‘there is
always enough snow to furnish all the
water needed.” *‘Does not life become
weary and desolate here, so far from the
world?” *‘So much so that I sometimes
fear it will drive me crazy. My duties
are light; they require only an occasional
inspection of the instruments. The
rest of the time I can only read. Too
much reading becomes wearisome., Some
times I stand at the window with my
telescope. The wind without is keen
and cutting as a knife. I can see the
houscs of Colorado Bprings, twenty
miles away, the visitors mitting in their
shirt-sleeves, sipping iced drinks to keep
cool, and ladies walking about in white
summer robes. I lower the glass; the
summer scene is gone. Green trees, an

like creatures in a dream, and I am the
only living thing in a world of eternal
