4 Savings Department in Connection. Fire Insurance.
HAVE RETARDED TRADE.
Interest in Elections and Warm Weath
er Were Drawbacks.
New York, Nov. 14.Bradstreet's
weekly review of trade says interest
in the elections and unseasonably
warm weather in some sections have
retarded trade but the more optimistic
outlook as to the future found reflec
tion later in an enlaigement of whole
sale and jobbing business, a firmer
tone of prices and assured activity in
many leading industries. Oiiicial re
ports of past crop yields an.I advices
of largely increased re cage in fall
sown crops were contributors to tha
confident feeling. In addition, reports
as to the outlook for holiday and next
spring's trade have proved favorable.
Relatively the best reports as to trade
and collections have come from the
South, but leading Western centers
have reported improvement in re
order business, and there is rather
more snap to demand at 'th East
from jobbers. Collections have been
rather better and money has ruled
easy. Railway earnings' returns point
to moderate gains over the good re
sults of last fall, and point to a bet
ter distribution of the enlarged busi
ness heretofore noted by the railways.
TWO MEN BADLY WOUNDED.
Jefferson Guard Shoots a Briton and
a Boer.
St. Louis, Nov. 14.One man is seri
ously, perhaps fatally, wounded and
another has a painful wound in the

stop a fight between two members of
the Boer war exhibition at the world's
fair grounds. John Backhouse, an
Englishman, and Philip Mars, a
Boer, were watching a scuffle between
two other members of the company
when Trias interfered. Th com
batants then, it is said, joined forces
and attacked the Jefferson guard, who
drew his revolver and fired two shots.
The men who started the disturbance
were not injured.
SMALL SUM SECURED.

Kellogg, Minn.
Winona. Minn., Nov. 14.A tele

foiled, for when the posse charged on
Jackson and his friends the latter
drew their- guns and beat back the
posse, who retreated. The greatest ex

when it became known that Jackson
was in the city and for a time a riot
was imminent.

$100 for the capture of George Jack
son, his brother. Th other two of the
Jackson brothers are in jail here along
with Policeman Elliott, who slew Con
stable Jackson and started the row.
Chief of Police Hundley has also been
put in jail here. It is charged that
he was holding Daniels when Jackson
shot him. Hundley had remained in
Charleston after bringing Elliott here,
being advised by friends to remain
here on account of the feeling against
him in Montgomery. He was arrest
ed on a warrant.
