TRADE jlOJETTER.
Dim's Weekly Review of the
BnsLiesf? Situation.
Cotton an:I Wheat Lower Than
Ever Before.
WEEK'S FAILURES 253.
Exports of Gold Instead of Pro
ducts a Feature.
New York Oct. 20. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Cotton below 6 cents and wheat below
5". cents, euc 1 lower than ever since
present classification were known,
export of gold instead of products are
the salient features in business this
week. Distr bution of foods to con
tainers goes on fairly, with gains at
neatly all points in comparison with
last year, bat not j-et at a rate to sus
tain the present volume of manu
facturing production, so that prices
weaken a litt.e. The domestic trade
reported by rai'roal earnings in Octo
ber is 3.4 per eent less than last year,
i:;.4 per cent less than l.t2. The pay
ments througa the principal clearing
houses for ttu third week of October
are 2.? per jent greater than last
year, but 31. per cent less than in
IMi:'. The daily average for the
month is per cent larger tlian last
year, but 2i.V smaller than in l.s'J3.
With many features of encourage
ment, business has not yet readied
expectations and it is evident that the
loss of part of the corn crop and the
unnaturally low prices of other great
staples affect the buying1 power of
willi o n s.
Wheat for October delivery fell to
M!2 cents on W ednesday and in spite
of some recrvery the average for
October thus :ar is 2 cents below the
lowest monthly average ever made,
which was in September, and was
nearly Jo cents below the lowest prior
to this sear, the October average be
in ."() cents below that of October,
lv.il, or ;s;)Q. Western receipts are
only 4 ,'.00,4'.'l bushels for the week
ac-ainst (1,01,4,333 bushels last year,
and Atlantic ports 031,034 bushels
against .;;, 33 bushel last year, but
the controlling1 fact is that no de
mand as yet promises to clear away
the er ormous surplus. Corn declined
'';(! le during the week with receipts
not a quarter of last year and ex
ports not a tenth. Pork products
were small aid weaker, with lard a
quarter cent lower.
Domestic e ports from this city in
two weeks of October were 1 s per
cent Jess in value than last year,
while the incr9a.se in value of imports
has been 27 per cent. Much of the
decrease in exports is in the price,
but in August and September the
quantity of wheat decreased over a
third. Pro vis ons aril cotton gained
but oil decreased, and in minor
products exports in September de
clined 11 per cent. The increase of
imports exclusive of sugar was over
ZT per cent in September, and in two
weeks of October at New York over
43 per cent. With this heavy increase
in purchases, and a decrease in sales
of products abroad, the market for
foreign exchange is in a position to be
quickly affected by withdrawals of
cipitai or apprehensions regarding
the future peace of Europe. To
the half mil. ion dollars exported
Tuesday it is expected that as much
will be added to-day. It appears that
three trust companies have now over
Jit0.0u0.0o0 id!.- money, and that East
ern mill loans are being- taken from
New Yor.k by English banks, while
the Nort h western demand for monev
is unusually f inall. The treasury is
airain fa I lit. sr backward in reserve,
nn 1 large imports yield a little less
revenue than .astyear, while internal
revenue for the past three weeks is
S4.H00.oo0 sma'. ler than a year ago.
During the past week the failures
have been 2il in the United States,
against 311 last year.
llradstreet's says: With few excep
tions the leading features of the bus
11 ess situation this week have been
l '-e of continue i moderate improve
ment, although the total volume of
business as iniicated by bank clear
ings througho it the country will re
quire considerable expansion to com
pare favorably with corresponding
totals two years ago.
The valued' a good name is above
computation. The good name enjoyed
by Dr. Price's Il.iiintr Powder hug been a
fctatidard of superiority for forty years.
Its career of excellence is crowned by
highest honors awarded hi the World
Exposition and the Midwinter Fair.

man of Card inal Gibbon's household
continued the report that Mgr.
Satolli will beoorae a cardinal, and in
addition to that an archbishop will be

BOLD TKAIN ROBBERS.
A Tcih faciSo Train Held Vp la Broad
Weathkrford, Texa, Oct. 20. The
west boaal passenger train on the
'Texas Pacific railway, winch left hero
', at 10:30 yesterday morning, was held
! up and robbed by four men ne ir Gor
! don about noon. The correspondent
! learned from Mr. J. Ii. Young of Gor
j ion, who was on the west boun 1 train
I last evening, that at a point about
! two miles this side of Gordon four
J men, unmasked, approached the see
! tion gang and forced them to obstruct
the road and flag- the train as it ap
proached, and when the train was
stopped the baadits forced the express
messenger to open the door of the
express car. They also forced the
section men to go into the car with a
sledge hammer and try to batter the
combination oif the express safe, but
' their efforts to open the safe were un
fruitful. The messenger's way safe
was battered open and what money
. there was in it was taken by the rob-
bers. The a too 11 at secured, it is es-
! timated. runs any where between S"0tl
; and . S".000. To-day being payday
at Thurber for the large number of
hands that work at the mines, there
was in the combination safe $.30. 0O0
consigned to the Pacide Coal compa
ny, wiiieh was to pay off the hands.
Suspicious characters have been
seen for the past mouth or so in that
section, and tins express company was
prepared for the attack, as . they had
on the train one of their special coia
bination safes to which no agent
1 along the route knew the combina
tion. The express company had a
special man baeit in tin coach who
knew the combination to the safe
aid who would come forward at sta-
tions where he was nee. led and open
the safe. The passengers and mail
I cars were not molested by the rob
, bers.
! After the robbery was committed
the four robbers walked away toward
the mountains, whistling, going in a
southerly direction. 1 lie Texas and
Pacific Coal company of Thurber have
offered $.V)0 reward for the capture of
the robbers. The train was in charge
of Conductor J. II. MeLoud, the ex
press car in charge of Messenger Gay.
There were no shots fired during the
robbery and it is considered one of
the boldest train robleries ever re
corded in the country for a longtime.
It is thought the robbers are from
the Indian territory and are now on
their way back. Posses are out after
them, and there is som; hope of capturing-
them.
The point at which the train was
stopped was just at the foot of the
Clayton mountains, about two miles
east of the place at which an east
bound train was robbed a few years
ago.
HARRISON AUA1.N SPEAKS.
Given an Eothonaitin Receutloa at
Fort Wayne.
Fort Wayne, Ind., Oct. 30. After a
day of phenomenal audiences General
Harrison arrived in Fort Wayne about
an hour later than schedule time, to
find a crowd that exceeded arithing
he had previously seen on this or his
last week's trip. The sidewalks and
streets out to the carriages which
bore the party to the Aveline hotel
were densely packed with peo
ple, who kept up a continu
ous cheering. The ex-president
was escorted immediately after
reaching the hotel, to the balcony,
from which he spoke to a crowd of
fully 5,000. This was another speech
outside of the schedule arranged
especially for the benjfit of the
farmers, who could not s.iv for night
meetings. At 8 o'clock he was waited
unon by the committee and attended
by an informal procession and es
corted to the skating rink, in which
6,000 people had sandwiched them
selves to hear the great Indianian.
When he entered the hall an extra
ordinary scene ensued, and the great
building shook with the applause.
Peace in the kitchen mean joy all
over the house. There is peace in every
kitchea where Dr. Price's Cream Baking
Powder is used.

The Czar's Death 13 Xow
rnentarily Expected.
Mo-
All European Business Centers
Are Depressed by It.
WILL NEYEH GET UP.
Believed the Emperor Will
Never Rise from Bed.
Loxdos, Oct. 20. The last red tape
cordon that is always drawn around
i the truth by diplomacy was broken
yesterday when M. de Staal, the Eus-
; sian ambassador to Great Britain, ad
mitted that telegrams that had been
received at the ambassy nreclude any
hope that the imperial sufferer would
ever again rise from his bed. Baron
Monrenheim, Russian ambassador to
France, this morning furnished the
, Paris Figaro the same unwelcome
; news. If this is not sufficient the
; flight of court onicials, the forced and
hurried journeys of members of thj
Prussian imperial family across Eu
rope, the alarm of the various courts,
the shivering bourses and the prayers
offered up in the churches are irrefu
table testimony to the fact the czar
is dying-.
Throughout the day and evening a
rain of telegrams has fallen in this
city. Compiled and sifted, they show
the followiug facts: M. Benkendorrf,
the court chamberlain, has counter
manded every order that has been is
sued in connection with the proposed
visit of the czar to Corfu. Many offi
cials have started for Livadia. Prine
ess Alix, the czare witch's betrothed,
will arrive at Yalta, where the czar is
sojourning, on Monday, and she will
be preceded by a few hours by Grand
Duke Vladimir.
The grand duke Alexis arrived in
Paris yesterday morning, and left on
the Oriental express, which is due at
Yalta on Tuesday. Around the pal
ace there was placed triple cordons of
police and soldiers in order that no
access could be had to the palace from
without, and that nothing from with
in could escape to the world unless it
first passed through the crucible of
censorship. So grave are the issues
dependidg upon the czar's life that
even the people of Russia are obliged
to be satisfied with curt official bul
letins so meager as to suggest in very
carefully chosen words the theory
of the worst. This is the read
ing by the bourses. to which
the London stock market furnished
a prompt echo. Russian securities
declined from weakness, but it seems
the markets everywhere were checked
later by heavy purchases which it is
reported were made on account of the
Russian treasury in order to prevent
a panic Thus the uneasy feeling
among financiers found its fate. Dis
patches received from St. Petersburg
report that the city wears it-s usual
aspect, except that crowds of people
are in every street, grouped about the
places where the bulletins are posted.
Here they have clustered since morn
ing, waiting the receipt of further
intelligence.
A bulletin issued at Livadia at 10
o'clock last night says that the czar
passed Thursday night almost with
.out sleep. His majesty rose yester
dav morning as usual His general
weakness and the action of his heart
are unchanged. The oedema of the
feet, which previously appeared, has
increased. His general condition is
unchanged. This bulletin is signed
by the live doctors in attendance.
Yesterday the churches throughout
Russia held special services for the
recovery of his majesty. In the capi
tal, St. Petersburg, the highest oili
c;als joined in solemn petitions to
God to save the czar.
In the Russian church in Paris
services were also held and were at
tended by Grand Duke Michael
Nieolaiviteh. the stair of the Iluss;an
ambassy. President Casimir-Perier.
Prime Minister Dupuy and a number
of other notabilities. The services
were marked with deep emot-on. The
thoughts of those present must have
flown ahead, asking, '"When the ezar
is dead, what then?"
The Temps answers the question
thus: "In the day when his majesty
passes away beyond dispute, the
prestige of Russia will not be dimin
ished; neither will the reasons which
have drawn her to France be weak
ened: nor will the sentiments uniting
the two peoples be altered, but Europo
as a moral entity will nave sustained
an appreciable loss. She will lack a
portion of her conscience. This is
great praise for a prince. Alexander
alone has merited it."
The question which the French and
Germans, and even the Russians
themselves, are asking hourly, and to
which their bourses yesterday suggest
ed the common answer, was not felt in
London qxiite so sharplv. London ad
mits that a serious crisis is possible.
Crowd Greet Wilson.
Parsons, W. Va., Oct. 20. Hon.
William L. Wilson reached this place
yesterday morning after an early
start from Elkins. A big crowd as
sembled at the Elkins depot at 0:30 to
Bie him off, and at every station en
route, notwithstanding tlu e irly hour,
there was large groups of voters who
cheered him heartily as the train
swept by.
Neither legdtimafe competition nor
envious rivalry nn shake the hold of Dr.
Price's Baking Powder on the public.

Taerytowx, N. '., Oct. 20. The
memory of revolutionary heroes was
honored yesterday by the unveiling
of a handsome monument to the

anniversary of the surrender of Lord
Cornwallis at Yorktown.

GRANT THEIR CANDIDATE.
Th F.i-Mror Sorolnated by Tammany
la Place of Straus, Resigned.
New York, Oct. 20. Hugh J. Grant,
was named as Tammany's candidate
for mayor, vice Nathan Straus, with
drawn, at the meeting of the execu
tive committee in Tammany hall yes
terday afternoon.
Mr. Grant, iu response to the com
mittee's notification, said: '"My de
termination to accept is based upon
conditions which I will hereafter state
so there can be no mistake about mv
politics.
"My conditions are that such can
didates now oa the ticket, whose can
didacy I regard as injurious, shall be
removed "from the ticket."
The committee then escorted Mr.
grant to Tammany hall, where he
was received with tremendous ap
plause. It was announced that a
new platform had been prepared ex
pressly for Mr. Grant.
The new platform attacks first the
apportionment provided for in the
constitutional amendment and says
Democrats must tight against so uu
just division of district representa
tion. 'I he Sherman silver bill is held re
sponsible for the recent hard times,
and the platform also "haracterizes
the A. P. A. as a foul institution, the
intent of which is to divide parties
and people upon a religious basis and
to precipitate a sectarian war.

CmcAoo, Oct. 20. Adolph Kraus, tho
new manager of th' Chicago Times who
takes poMses-don of the paper today, says :
The Sunday issue of the Times will l e

policy the paper will speak for itself. I
will take a short vacation from my law
business, and will give all my time and
attention to the paper. If I liud that 1
like the work I will remain a newspaper
man. If, however, tha work dues not
prove congenial, I will tben select a
proper person to manage it for me. All
my energies will be devoted to the
Times. My work will have to speak for
itself.
"As to the politics you can say thi3: It
is (joing to be a Democratic paper, with
out losiug any of its independence. As
far as the Populists are coucerued, they
will receive fair treatment. I will see
to it that the report3 of all meeting, be
they Democratic, Republican. PopuliBt
or Prohibitionist, are truthfully given.
No change will be mada for the present
in tho force of the paper.
"As to the Harriion boys' future con
nection with the paper I cannot tell. I,
of course, would like to have the benelit
of their experience. But the matter lies
entirely with them. I thiuk they will
remain with me. I shall shape the pol
icy of the paper. Of course if there is
any hitch between us on that point my
policy wiil prevail."
Cause and consequence. First try
cheap and poisonous bilking powders.
Next call tho doctor. I'ae Dr. Price's
Cream Lakiug Powder and health will
be assured. It's better to pay the grocer

to keep the boys out of the belfry. The
janitor did hia work well, but Thursday
night forgot to lock the door. At.Mid
night some of the boys must have
climbed up the fire escape on the eabt
side of Science hall, because if they had
gone up the stairway the two professors
who room in the building would have
heard them. At any rate iu the morning
the janitor found that door, bolt, straps

Gallant Record of President Iodg of tha
Army of the Tennessee.
General Grenvilla M. . Dodge, who
was recently re-elected president of the
Society of tha Army of the Tennessee,
has a wide reputation as a gallant sol
dier and capable railroad engineer. He
is a native cf Danvers, Ma.s. , and is (3
years old. In 1850 ho was graduated
from a military academy in Norwich,
Vt., and a year later began a promising
career as a railroad surveyor. When tha
civil war began, the governor of Iowa
sent him to Washington to obtain arms
for state troops, and on June 17 of that
year lie became colonel of the Fourth
Iowa regiment, which he had raised.
He nerved in Missouri tinder General
Fremont, and early in lbC2 opened Gen
eral Curtis' Arkansas campaign. He
commanded a brigade at the battle of
Pea Ridge, where three horses weretshot
under him in the thick of the fight. Ho
was severely wounded in tho side, but
continued directing tho movements of
his men until the final ront of the ene
my. For his bravery he was made brig
adier geceral of volunteers. In June,
18(52, while in command of the district
of the Mississippi, he superintended the

construction of the Mississippi and Ohio
railroad. He was one of the first men
to organize regiments of colored troops,
and during the Vicksburg campaign he
made frequent raids into the enemy's
country and indirectly protected the
flanks of Loth Grant and Iiosec-rans.
General Grant had a very high opin
ion of his services and placed his name
at the head of his list of officers recom
mended for promotion. Brave and meri
torious conduct at the battles of Sugar
Valley and liesaca caused his promotion
to major general in June, 1864. In
fclierman's Georgia campaign Dodge led
the Sixteenth corps, and at Atlanta July
22, backed by 11 regimenta, he with
stood the attack of General Hood's en
tire army corps. On Aug. 19, at the seigo
of Atlanta, he was so severely wounded
that he was incapacitated from service.
In December he succeeded Rosccrans as
commander of the department of Mis
souri. In 1866 he left tho army, and the
Union Pacific railroad was built under
his supervision. Ho served one term in
congress and succeeded General Slier
man as president of the Society of the
Army of the Tennessee when Sherman
died.

A CONVENTION OF MOTHERS.
It Decide That a Boy la More of an Anl
li'ttl Than m Oirl.
Seven hundred women recently held
ft national convention of mothers in Chi
cago to discuss
matters pertain
ing to tho prob
lem of teaching
the young idea
how to fehoot and
were so well
pleased with the
results of their
deliberations
that they decided
to meet annually
hereafter and ex
c liange views.
The convocation
was held pursu
ant to a call is-t-ned
by the Chi
cago ivmacrgar-
MRS. J. N. CKOUSE. u,u coHfcge am
was presided over by Mrs. J- N. Crouse,
president of tho Kindergarten associa
tion. Almost every state of the union
and several territories were represented.
The range of subjects discuss-od was a
wide one and included about everything
from the subtle effects of prenatal in
fluence upon the baby mind to the del
eterious effects of candy between meals
upon the baby stomach.
One doting mamma created a sensation
by declaring that she put her baby iu a
bag at night, but the sensation died out
when she explained that the bag was
simply used for the purpose of prevent
ing the youngster from kicking off his
clothes and acquiring a bad attack of
the ever musical colic. Another mother
said that her 6-year-old boy had broken
tip about everything in the house except
tho kitchen range, which he was still
at work ou, and she wanted to know if
any girl cotild be such a "terror" as
that boy. "Or i.s a boy more of an ani
mal than a girl':" she asked.
As there were 700 women and only
about a dozen scared men in the hall,
the convocation found no difficulty in ar
riving at the conclusion that not only
boys of G, but boys of from 6 to 60, are
somehow "nearer to primitive nature
than are girls and women."
Dr. Norman Bridge caused a flutter
in motherly hearts by declaring the
somewhat iconoclastic doctrine that
fruit was not good for growing children
and that candy was better. Dr. W . W .
Jaggard, a specialist in gynecology, also
made the interesting statement that it
was impossible for a woman to influ
ence the character and appearance of
her child before birth, save by proper
attention to hygienic rules. Among the
interested spectators at the convention
were several babies who attempted to
informally address the meeting now and
then, but were either promptly silenced
or carried from the halL
