'I Ing, al llroadway und Leonard street, woro
p crowded all of yesterday with resident
' and non-rcsldcnt members. All of them
ijt who woro intcrv lowed on tho commercial
V situation spoke hopofully of thu outlook.
V In most parts of tho country thooffoctof tho
"t returning prosperity has already bocn folt, and I
tho prospects for a Rood fall trade aro better
; than they havo been for years. Tho reports of
I merchants covered almost tho entire country.
't Representatives from Nobruska, Ohio, Pennsyl-
it- vania, California, Kansas, Massachusetts, Qcor-
'.' gin, Arkansas, and North Carolina all expressed
.A the tamo views of tho situation. Thoso who
I camo from manufacturing ton ns rcportod that
? the mills were all running, most of them on full
t time, and that the feeling was hopeful and con-
, fldentof a steady Improvement In commercial
I conditions.
i Moslof thn merchants said that tho Improve-
' nient might be seen nlrtmdy In more liberal pur-
' chases by consumers, and n tendency unions
ft workers uf all classes to buy more luxuries and I
X necessaries. From tho dealers w ho c.imo from
v agricultural states it was loarnod that, the farm-
& ers, feeling suru that tho market for their prod-
t nets would bo a large and ritiicr ono, woro pro-
t Turing to buy supplies on n much greater scale
than they have Hiiro tho buBiness depression bo
Can. Thn tradesmen from Binull towns wero
I particularly sanguine of u good fall market.
' Many of them hao im reaped their stocks in j
S expectation of n greater demand for Btaple
,)T goods and novelties. It is common to
a luur tho visitors declare that when tho
X timo comes for tho laving In of holiday stocks
" the trade will oxi ccd th.it for many years. They
: bcliovothal by tho end of December the im-
I provorncnt will be so gre.it that tho trade in hoi- '
, iduy goods will surpiss tho calculations of man
ufacturers and wholesalers, allot whom are pre-
i pun-d for mom business than they have done
V foryvMrs. All of thum agreed thut thopresont

V appeal to them on tho ground that they will bo

tery Is now engaging thu attention of tho courts
In Susquehanna county, i'a. Tho murder oc
, currod tn Forost City, l'a but the trial Is being
held In Montrose, tho county seat. Tho alleged
murdorer is John Wultx, and the crlmowaa
committed last January, Jabez U. Lemon,
tho victim, was a widower, 00 yoars of age, and
it was first supposed that ho committed suicide.
Waltz and Lemon wero business partners and
conducted a bakery In Forest City. They did
I their own cooking and occupied tho samo sleep
ing room In the roar of tho bakery. On the
morning of Jan. 18 Lemon was found dead in
his room. He was seated In a chair facing the
wall and thcro was a bullet holo In his forehead.
I At his feet lny a revolver with ono chamber
' empty. Waltz said ho was awakened In tho
night by a shot, but that thonolso was not re
peated and he went to sleep again. A Jury was
i impanelled by tho Coroner, nnd aftor tho usual
! Investigation Waltz was held to await tho no
I tlonofthetlrnnd Jury, whlcn found an Indict
i ment charging him with murder.
Onoof the atrougest witnesses against Waltz
at tho trial now In progress la C, K. Stephens,
who occuplod rooms otortho bakery. On the
night of tno tragedy ha heard tho mon quarrel.
, Ieinon was making piteous appoala to Wulti
I not to hurl htm. This was about midnight. At
t! o'clock ho hoard a pistol shot. It was still
I after that. At H o'clo' k tho next morning
Waltz called Stephens down stairs and suld that
' Lemon wits dead. Stephens found him rigid In
tho choir wltha bullet wound In his forehead.
Ho hud been dead tlvo or sit hours. Tho pistol
I with which tho shooting had been done wns
lying on tho floor between the dead man's feoU
Thcro wero bloody llngor-marks on the pistol,
' but thorowns no blooJ on the victim's hands.
This clrcumstaiico was thotlrstto nrouso sus-
. ptclor. The prisoner admitted that there was
no one In tho room but ho and Lemon during tho
night. Ho slid that Lemon had shot himself.
Aiterwnrd Waltz told a Mrs. Davis that he did
not shoot Lemon, but that ho know who did.
One of the men witnesses was W. It. Hlgglns,
who owned tho building whore tho shooting oc-
I currod. Ho said that he bad a conversation
I with tho prisoner a few days before tho shont-
I ing. At that time Waltz told him that he did
not Ilka lo bo alone with Lemon, because ho was
afraid ho might kill himself. Ho said that if
I anything did happen ho would call on Hlgglns.
i Hlgglns said he did not want to bo mlxod up
In It, but to cnll on some ono else. Waltz also
told Hlgglns thnt when Lemon died he was to
have tho property. This was according to nn
agreement botweeu Waltz and Lamoa that the
ono who died first was to leave his share of the
property to tho other.
GLEASOX REMOVES JORDAJT.
Says thn school Commissioner's Aetloa en tbe
Bscnralon Could .lot lie Overlooked.
Tho removal of Cornelius J. Jordan as a Com
missioner of Education by Mayor Oleason of
Long Island City has caused a great deal of
comment in that place. It turns out that tho
Mayor's action in removing Mr. Jordan from of
flea involves tho moral character of two young
women. Commissioner Jordan, with tho four
othor members ot tho Board of Education, at
tended tho free excursion given tho school chil
dren by the Mayor. Jordan. It anpears, met two
young women on the barges and introduced
, them to soveral persons with whom be was
I acquainted. Soveral of thoso on board the
boats say that tho Mayor, after accusing Jordan
of bringing persons of loose morals on tho ex
I curslon. threatened to assault tho Commissioner.
This, however, both the Mayor and Jordan
deny. Tho latter says that he had been on tho
boats fully two hours boforu ho met tho two
young women.
"One of them," slid Commissioner Jordan,
"resides In Providence It. I., and tho other, ht r
cousin, lives in Long Island City. As -Mayor
I Gleason paused Ub on tho boat I bowed to him
and followed him. I caught up with him ns bo
was coming out or tbe dining room nd ho
stopped and naked mo why I had brought two
such women on board. I replied that they were
rcspictabln young women, and ho answered
hotly that I was 'damned liar.' Wo had a few
moro words that wero overheard by a number
of persona standing near, and then be announced
rather loudly that I was dismissed from tho po
sition of School Commissioner.
" I have not seen tho Maj or since that day. I
understand that tertaln persons uro clrcul itlng
reports about my official acts In connection with
tho leasing of two buildings fur school pur
poses. I court tho fullest Investigation of every
act of mine In any official position."
Mr. Jordan held the placo of School Commis
sioner for nearly two jcurs. Until recently be
was also a member of the Board of Police Com
missioners, but stepped asfdo for tho man whom
he bad succeeded In the board.
Mayor Oloason docs not deny that he ro
moved Jordan for tuking the two young women
on board tho boats. Ho said that such an ac
tion on the part of a member of the school board
could not bo overlooked.
It Is reported that tho relatives of the two
young women are considering thequestlonof In
stituting legal proceedings Hgalnst Mayor Glea
son for defamation of character.

DlNOIIAMTOK, Aug. 13. The swellest wedding
In the history of this city was not attended
by as many people as witnessed the halle
lujah wedding of tho American Volunteers nt
Itoss Park last evening. It was a wedding with
out frills. It was characterized by the utmost
simplicity. Itlch and poor were invited, and
people came from mllos around to soe It. The
big pavilion In tho park was crowded. Around
tho outsldo w as an ocoan of faces, and up as far
as tho cyo could seo on tbo neighboring hillsides
was a noisy, laughing, Jostling throng of people.
Speculations wero luado as to how long It would
tnko tho crowd to kiss tho bride. The groom
was Capt, W. J. Scott and tho brldo was Miss
Emma J. Slovens of Canton, O.
Tho crowd wns not as serious as guests usu
ally aro at functions ot this kind. They mado
all sorts ot observations about tho bride
and groom, but the couple did not seem
to mind It in tho least, Thoy were to
all onpoarances tho most unconcerned
peoplo In tho crowd. Just before tho
coromony wns perlormod they sang "Throw
Out tho Life Lino," nnd tho crowd joined In tho
chorus, Tho crowd did not keep very good
time. Tho Salvationists nnd those In tho front
ranks had finished tho first verse and wore
started on the socond when tho crowds on the
hillsides were finishing the first stanza,
"All start together," shouted the leader.
" Somo of you peoplo will never be saved If you
don't take hold of tho life line faster than that."
They started again, but some of the people on
the bill wero still singing. The Salvationists
finished first. About twenty rowc of spectators
immediately in front of the pavilion wero a good
socond. Tbo next twenty rows cume In a lap be
hind tho othors, and overy twenty rows finished
ln tho same way.
" Somo ono ought to hang out tho flag for that
crowd up there on the hill," said the loader;
" they aro distanced."
A mist bogan to fall. " God bless the rain,"
Bhoutcd some one; "it looks like a bridal veil."
Then Itpourod, and the orowd swayed toward
tho pavilion. Tho bridal couple stood on the
theatre platform outsldo the pavilion, aud Cunt.
Wooloy thought It would bo best to get under
Bholtor. Hi put tbo question ton vote, but tho
Salvationists ln tbo pavilion wero in the ma
jority and voted against It.
" I in glad to soe iho people of ninghnmton
are not afraid of water," he said; "thn wedding
will go on. I guess toe brldo and groom can
stand it If the crowd csn. Tho bride Isn't all
sugar and tho groom Isn't mado of salt."
Tho rain continued and tho speakers on the
platform couldn't bo beard twenty feet away.
Whether Miss Stevens promised to take tho
groom for her lawfully wedded husband, or
whether the groom made the corrospoudlng vow,
could not be told. Thoy mado motions with their
lips, nut their answers wero drowned by the
noise mada by tho rain and the crowd.
"This is a baptismal ruin," shouted one of tbo
officers, "and It Is Intended especially for this
couple.
"Well, they aro welcome to my share,"
shouted ono of the spectators.
Tho rain camo down harder than ever, nnd
somo ono ln tbo crowd suggested that thoy re
pent "Throw Out tho Llfn Lluo." Hy thistlinc
tho ceremony was finished, and tho groom
mounted a chair and appealed to tho crowd to
como up and bo saved. Tho rain continued, nnd
the brldo, who stood on a chair beside her hus
band, spoko in a similar vein. Tho appeals
sounded llko Irony to tho.o who wero potting
drenched. Somebody In the crowd said that
they needed umbrellas moro than they did sal
vation just then.
"Tho rain Is a blessing, but It has to fall on
the sinner und saved alike," retorted ono of the
Salvationists.
This squelched the first speaker, and the
crowd gu)ed him.
A praise servico followed, and the bride and
groom took part. Tho brldo Is a rather pretty
womnn. with a round, good-natured face. She
was attired ln tho regulation costume of tho
Volunteers, and a white snsh. which was thrown
loosely over her shoulder, was fastened at her
waist.
Before tho Bcrvlco was over the rain ceased
and the bridal pnrty took a special electric train
for the city. To-night a reception was given
Capt. and Mrs. Scott.

Ins Charge In the Illnaley Law.
Dostov, Aug. 13. Thcro was a meeting this
afternoon of tha Hoard of Directors of thu Bos
ton Merchants' Association rclatlvo to section
22 of tho now Tariff law, which imposos an
additional duty of 10 per cent, upon goods
brought ln foreign -vossels from non-contiguous
territory through foreign territory contiguous to
tho United States and destined for importation
into this country. This nfTeets u largo amount of
freight transported over tho Boston and Malno
Ilallruaa.
After a general discussion, In which It was the
opinion of most of thoso present that tho 10 per
lent, discriminating duty was injurious to Now
England's interests, it was voted to employ
former Assistant Secretary Charles S. Hamlin
to represent tho association in tho matter. This
telegram was sent to tho Attorncy-Ocneral:
"The Boston Merchants' Association earn
estly asks an opportunity to bo heard by counsel
nnd representatives ns to tho scope of section
22 of tho Tariff act. The business Interests of
New England nnd the Northwest will be most
seriously Injured If tho etloctof tho lnw Is en

Arverne-bj-lbe-Sea.
Albany, Aug. 13. The most emphatto pro
test ever brought to the attention of the 8tato
Hoard of Health against tho danger to health
caused by the operation ot rendering establish
ments on Darren Island, was received to-doy
from Dr. Samuel Kobn, Health Officer of
Arverne, L. I. Ho takes exceptions to the pub
lished statement of Col. Waring of the New
York city Street Cleaning Department, that the
complaints of bad olors from Barren Island are
" all nonsense," and Bays:
" At any time of day or night during the past
few months, when the wind blows from the
wost, the atmosphere along the southerly
benches of Long Island Is so surcharged with
tho stench from tho rendering works on Barren
Island as to produco nausea and ln some persons
vomiting. Tho acidity of tho odor awakens
many persons from tho soundest sleep nt night.
Porsons hnvo como to mo with conmlnlnts or
anorexia and Intrnso nervousness, directly
traceablo to this horrid stench in the air.
"Words, fall to adequately describe this nasty
'offaly' odor. It seems incomprehensible thnt
such an abominable nuisance should bo allpwod
to exist at the very portals of tho magnificent
harbor of New York, to the detriment of the
health of thousinds of Now Yorkers who havo
built handsomo cottages by tbe seashore, at an
expenso ol millions of dollars, Tho question has
uever been thoroughly ngltatod, becauso owners
of property are very a verso to doing or saying
anything which might docreaso the value of
thoir buildings, hut now that the question has
been brought ud this reasoning must cease and
the wnr of extermination waited to a finish.'
This complaint has been referred to Dr. George
B. Fowler, member ot tho State Board of Hoalth
from New Y'ork city, whole now investigating
tho operation of the works on Barren Island,
assisted by Stato Chemist Theodore J. Bradley.

TOR AG EXT BTOUCH'B REMOVAL.
aveltm to Cheyenne Head Chief Here ir
That the "Attack on Ihe Walterse" tin
a, rtvtlen Capl. Bead Interview the Wnl.
terse alleged Motive of the Kanchmen.
Letters which arrived in this city yesterday
from tho Tonguo Agency of tho northern Chey
enno Indians, near Miles City, Mon., mako
It appear that tho suaro which was raised in
that neighborhood a month ortwo ago regarding
nn Indian uprising and a subsequent donjand
for the removal ot Cnpt, Stoucb, tho agent, had
their origin in tho deslro ot certain of tho white
people In thnt nolghborhood to stir up trouble
and have tho Indians driven out of thoir lands.
Tho original troubles thero of this year, which
Brow nut of tho killing of a shoep herder by
somo uf tho Indians, wero described in T11K Sun
of July 15. At that time tho ShcrlfT hod ridden
Into the agency with a posse of twenty men be
hind him nnd demanded thnt ho bo allowed to
I selzo the accused Indians himself.
Capt. Stouch had refused to allow this, and
I there was much bad blood between him and the
I ranchmon as a result.
On July 14 n demand was mado by County At
torney Porter upon tho Hon. T. II. Carter in
Washington that ho should urgo Secretary Bliss
to rctnovo Agent Stoucb, and this was based
upon an alleged attack mado by Indians upon
tho house of Deputy Sheriff Winters, ono of tbe
men who had been with tho Sheriff when he
demanded tho Indian murdorcrs.
According to tho story told them, the Indians
had attacked Winters's house, fired Into It, nnd
forced Mrs. Winters, her children, and n hired
man who was thero to flco for their lives out of
tho back door and Into tho dark.
Capt. Head of tha United Statos Army was
sent to lnvestigato this story. According to the
letters Just received it npncnrs that what really
happened wns this: On July 10, while Winters s
hired man was wnrklngjln a field, two Indians ap
peared on horsehack. Thoir guns were strapped
aiross their bodies. Thoy rodo up to tho wire
feme, sat there a fow minutes, and then dis
mounting tied their horses, got through tho
fence mid walkod down the courso of n stream
of water. Tho hired man got Into a panic He
ran to tho bouso and told Mrs. WIntcrsth.it
Indians were nbou tusttackthem. Mrs.Wlnters
I gathered her threo children togethor, nnd then,
taking all the guns and ammunition ln the
1 houso, the party retreated to a stono fort which
hart been provided for such emergencies. The
fort is about thirty yards from tbo houso. It
has loopholes for guns and Is walled up
above Iho roof to mako a breastwork
for a lookout. It Is entered by a subterranean
passngo ibrough a root cellar, and has a trap
door In tho roof for tho lookout to get up
through. The hired man went to tbe roof
to reconnoitre. Tlie Indians were nbout
150 yards away, still noar the stream.
Thoy remained thero for a short time
and then went away. Then Sirs. Winters went
back to ber boue. Sbedldnotseo the Indians
nl all. Mr. Winters was not at home at the
timo. Ho told Capt. Bead that at this season of
tho ear the creeks aro full of turtles, of which
tholndl-insare very fond, and the supposition
is that theso men were looking for turtles.
Mr. Winters f urthor said that a few days bo
fore he had beard three or four shots fired just
beluw his placo on tho reservation. Ho went
down to see what tho shooting was about, and
found 1 number uf Indians sitting quietly about.
Ho concluded that they had bocn shooting at
sago hens.
The Indians were but just outside tbo reserva
tion on tho day Mrs. Winters was senr.-d.
Tho letters came to a friend of the Cheyenne
In this city, a whlto man who holds tho title of
"Head Chief" In ono of their tribes.
"This is tho kind of matter out of which cor
taln designing porsons would mako Indian out
rages," no said yesterday, " and get Uncle
Siim'tofcnd troops to oust tbo Indians from
tboir reservations whenever the Interests of tho
whites require that tbe lands set apart for tho
red roan should bo solzed either for grazing or
agriculture."
