DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Serious Effects of the Coal Miners' Strike
in the Closing Down of Industrial
Works-Foreign Shipments of Gold and
the Depletion of the Treasury Reserve
the Most Disquieting Signs of the
Times.
NEw YORK, May i2.--. 11. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade, issued to
day, says:
The strikes begin to have a serious, though,
It is assumed, only a temporary effect. The
number Of works depending upon supplies of
bituminous coal or coke for fuel is large, and
quite a considerable proportion of them have
stready been compeled to stop operations.
No doubt the proportion is larger in iron
and steel manufacture than any other busi
ness, but nearly a third in capacity of the iron
furnaces at work a month ago appear to have
closed. Some falroads at the west are em
barrassed. dnd textile works of some import
ance must close soon unless the strike ceases.
The movement of so-called armies of the un
employed on Washington has caused little ex
citement, and is less important or significant
than the outward movement of specie, which
shows shrinking foreign demand fr products
and further withdrawal of foreign capital.
But neither strikes nor foreign distrust long
retard the progress of this country.
The capacity of iron furnaces in blast May I
was 110,420 tons, a decrease of 6e.512 tons dur
Aprili but the Irbn Age has telegralthic ro
ports Of stoppage by othef flirnaces having a
capacity of 250j2 tens, including some ex
pected to stop this week, which would mean a
decrease Of about a third In product since
April 1. The fact that prices of same giades of
pig iron, especially of foundry, shoW Wveak
ness, notwithstanding there has been no in
crease in stocks unsold, seem to indicate that
about as large a proportion of the works using
pig tron as material has also been competed
to stop, and it is stated that in the Pittsburgh
region many are close to the end of their sup
plies of fuel.
Prices Of finished products are fully main
tained and many kinds have advanced a little.
but it is noticed that the demand is not as
large as was expected, and while an early ter
mination of the strikes is hoped for, the ap
pointment of committees to negotiate regard
ing wages for the coming year brings atten
tion to the fact that existing conditions donot
favor any advance in prices, or in cost of pro
duction. In minor metals, no industrial change
of importance appears.
The textile manufactures are not improving
in position or prospects, for while orders do
not increase, uncertainties in regard to labor
grow more serious. The working force shows
much unwillingness to accept for another sea
son the wages which were temporarily adopted
in order to have works reopened after last
summer's suspension. The apathy of buyers
in cotton is reflected in further decline of
print cloths, although some qualities Of goods
have advanced slightly.
Sales of wool again drop considerably beloW
those of the same week last year. Though Or
ders for woolens are far below the probable re
quirements for the next season, few manuf tc
turers are bold enough to make up goods in ad
vance of the demand, while clothiers are very
cautious. The dress goods department has
much the best of the business. though its pro
duction is consideraly smaller than usual.
The speculation in grain has again broked
records with the lowest price ever made for
wheat, although western receipts are a little
smaller than a year ago, While exports are also
smaller by more than a quarter. The prevail
ing belief is that the yield will, as in other
years, far exceed government indications,
which are again pointing to a short crop.
Corn has changed in price but little and pork
products have been fairly steady, with oil and
coffee unchanged, but cotton is wealter in tone,
although receipts from plantations ate a little
smaller than a year ago. It is a striking evi=
dence of the general want of confidence that
there is so little speculation while mohey is
abundant almost beyond orecedent
Nothing has occurred to strengthen railroad
stocks, for the earnings of railroads continud
about as much behind last year's as they were
in April or March. Rates are cut in a most
destructive fashion, in sputd of tll the talk
about ironclad agreements, and the prospect
of foreclosutre for some great railroads in de
fault tends to dishearten holders. The aver
age price of sixty active railroad stocks is,
nevertheless, only 22 cents lower for the week.
while the audacity of speculators in sugar has
so far diminished that the trust stocks aver
age 13 cents lower.
Large exports of gold, Which at-e so far ex
pected to reach 1.000,000 this e5ek. have
ciecked hopefultess in the stock market, and
the decline of the treasury gdld reserve below
$91,000,000 suggests the possibility that contin
ued exports of the precious metal may cause
not a little trouble before the season is over.
But at present the banks are only gratified, as
the accumulation of money from the interior
has not ceased, while the demand for commer
cial loans does not yet enlarge.
One large failure about doubled the aggre
gate of liabilities for firms failing in the week
ending May 3. which would otherwise have
been quite small, but were $2,922.794. The
number and the general average of liabilities
are still encouragingly shrinking. For four
weeks of April the liabilities reported were
$8.826.862, of which $3,637.220 were of manufac
turing and $4,677,699 of trading concerns.
The failures this week have been 206 in the
United States, against 257 last year, and 42
in Canada, against 23 last year, with none of
especial importance, althougn four bank fail
ures are included.
DISASTROUS EFFECT
Of the Bituminous Coal Miners' Strike
on the Coal Trade of Philadelphia
The Small Arrivals of Coal Nearly All
Taken by the Railroad Companies-Pea
Coal Proves Valuable,
PHILADELPHIA, May 12.-The strike
,f the soft coal miners is having a tem
porarily disastrous effect on the coal
ing trade of Philadelphia, in which
the coal shipments form a most im
portant item. So great is the
scarcity of bituminous coal that the
Greenwich Point piers of the Pennsyl
vania, which are exclusively devoted
to this trade, have had to suspend ope
rations entirely, what little coal there
is in transit having been taken by the
railroad company for use in its loco
motives. 1
The same state of affairs prevails at
the Port Richmond piers of the Read
ing railroad, and all the coal destined
for the pier of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad has been seized by that com
pany. The result of this embargo
on soft coal is that one of the
largest fleets of idle vessels ever
seen on the Delaware river now
floats at anchor awaiting the termina
tion of the strike. Orders for coal
have been coming in freely from New
England points and the West Indies.
but they can not be filled. One effect
of the strike has been that the river
tugs which ordinarily use soft coal
have taken to burning pea coal and
find it a very good substitute.
Work of Fire Bugs.
RED JACKET, Mich., May 12.-Fire
bugs set fire to the barn of John Duns
lan at 1 a. m., and ten business
buildings were destroyed. The
principal losses were: John Duns

$4,000; also all his household
effects. W. A. Isaacson, brick block,
loss, $.000; insurance, $3,500. Steven
Aquilch, building, loss, $1,500;ainsured.
Murdge & Argalls, furniture, loss, $3,
000; no insurance. Jacob Aquilch, loss
on building. $4,000. Mrs. Annie Olson,
two frame buildings, loss, #5,000.
Pallman Employes Want Last Year's
Wages and a Redress of Grievances.
PULLMAN, Ill., May 12.-Between 2,
000 and 3,000 workmen in the various
departments of the Pullman works
went on strike at 9 a. m. Their action
took Mr. Pullman and his executive
managers by surprise, as it was
understood that the men were
satisfied with the results of the
recent conference. The men belong to
the New American Railway union, but
were not called out by the organiza
tion. They demand the restoration of
wages to last year's scale and the re
dress of numerous shop grievances.
FOURFOLD MURDER.
Hired Assassins Lie In Walt and Cruelly
Dispatch a Hu'band, Wife and Two
Chlldren-A Third Child, Beaten Into
Insensibilily, Survives and Tells the Story
of the Crime-r-utsuit Of the Supposed
Mutrdererst
MILAN, Mo., May 12.--Gus 1Meeks,
his wife and two children were mur
dered in cold blood Thursday night
hear Browning. Another of the chil
dren of the murdered couple was so
badly injured that it is not expected
she will recover. She was 7 years old.
The excitement is so intense in the
neighborhood that the murderers will
be lynched on short notice, if they are
fully identified, by the enraged citi
zens. The circumstances surrounding
the horrible fourfold murder are as
follows:
In Lynn and Sullivan counties of
this state there were a number of cases
pending in the criminal courts against
Winm. F. and George Taylor, brothers.
William is a banker in Browning and
his brother is a farimer. They are
charged with forgery, larceny and ar
son. William Taylor, Gus Meeks and
others were jointly indicted. Meeks
pleaded guilty, and was sentenced at
the last term of court to the peniten
tiary.
Gov. Stone pardoiled hint about a
month ago for the purpose of having
him used as a witness against the
Taylor brothers. They naturally had
a motive for getting him out of the
Way.
It is reported that the Taylors had
arrantred with the murdered husband
and father to give him a team
of horses and a wagon, so that
he could leave the county and
not be present at the time of the
trial of the brothers. The mother of
Meeks says that Thursday her son re
ceived a letter from the Taylors at
Browning, telling him to be in readi
ness to go away at 10 o'clock that
night; and that Meeks and the chil
dren waited for Taylor until mid
night, when two men whom Meeks
said were George and Bill Taylor, came
to their home in a wagon. The mur
dered man and his family got into the
Wagon and started for Browning.
The only statement regarding the
crime obtainable was from the 7-year
old girl, who was suffering greatly at
the time she told her story. It seems
that when the Meeks family and the
persons accompanying themr reached
a point on the road near the school
house in Lyon county, a small
distance from Browning, they were
attacked by two men who were
lying in wait on the roadside. The
first victim of the murderers' guns was
Meeks. His wife jumped from the
wagon in terror at the sound of the
fatal shot, and then she was murdered
in the same way. The fiends then
seized large stones and beat the life
out of the two children, leaving the
third one for dead: The brains of the
little ones were beaten out in a sicken
ing manner. It is supposed the mur
derers hauled the bodies of their vic
tims nearly two miles in the wagon to
the Taylor farui, burying them under
a hay stack.
At 4:50 o'clock in the morning the
living child regained her senses and
went to the residence of a Mrs. Carter
near by. She told her terrible story,
and a boy who was sent to the Taylor
farm to investigate, verified, the hor
ror by finding the bodies of the rest of
the family as stated.
The Carter boy, happening to meet
George Taylor, unwittingly told him of
the murders. Taylor lost no time in
starting for Browning on horseback.
There he met his brother, and both
left hurriedly on horseback. They
got away before the news of the
fiendish crime reached Browning. A
guard of citizens was placed at the
haystack.
Soon it was discovered that a blood
stained quilt wrapped around the bod
ies had been on fire, the purpose being
to destroy the evidence of the crimes.
A party of citizens also found the re
volver and a stone with which the
murderers had committed the deeds at
the scene of the murders.
On the strength of descriptions fur
nished by the living girl the sheriff
has arrested Sharon McCullough, of
Gould, and George llowlett, of Lynn
county, as accomplices in the crime.
The surviving child says tihe murder
ers beat her into insensibility and
thought she was dead.
The Taylor brothers have not been
caught yet, but it is not believed they
can escape the vigilance of the lavw,
reinforced by the citizens of several
counties.
FOUND MURDERED.
Sad Fate of the Lady Proprietress of a
Paris Perfumer's Shop.
PARIT, May 12.-A shocking murder
was discovered yesterday morning in
a perfumer's shop near the general
post office in this city. The shop,
which was kept by a young girl about
20 years of age, had been closed since.
Tuesday evening and the proprietress
had been missing from her home. As
she did not return Wednesday night,
the girl's brother communicated with
the police early yesterday morning.
The police went to the shop and forced
open the door. At the rear of the shop
they found the body of the girl lying
on the floor in a pool of blood. Around
her neck was a rope, the noose of
which had been tightly drawn and the
blade of a razor was imbeded in her
throat, which was horribly gashed.
It is believed that the crime was
committed by a man the girl was
known to be fond of, and who was
supposed to be in Jove with her.
A Fatal Shooting.
YouNsrown, O., May 12.-Thursday
night, Jesse Moody fatally shot Mrs.
Melissa Weimer, and seriously wound
ed Henry Messerly. Moody is married
and has five children but had been
paying attention to Mrs. Weimer,
who has been visiting the
family of Frank Miller. Yesterday
evening Moody called, and finding Mrs.
Weimer entertaining Messerley, who
has a wife and two children, he opened
fire with a revolver, shooting Mrs.
Weimer twice in tb , head and once in
the shoulder. After planting two bul
lets in Messerely, Moody fled.

Criminals.
PAmIs,May 12.-In the chamber of

A PHOSPaATE deposit has been dis
covered in Bradley county, Tenn.,
about twenty miles from Chattanooga,
The vein, so far as known, is sixteen
feet wide and about nine miles long.

temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
AusTR.ALIA mined 4,037,920 tons of
coal last year. The supply is apparent

what that means to her. Washing in hard
water is so difficult, and the results so poor I
Pearline reduces the labor, whether you
use soft water or hard. But use Pearl
ine, and it's just as easy to wash
with hard water as with soft water
-and the results are just as good.

than your labor, though. We'll tell you of these savings
from time to time.. Keep your eye on Pearline " ads."

-The Southern Pacific company h:
accepted the proposition of the Phoenix
Bridge Co. to build the bridge over the
Mississippi river from New Orleans to
Algiers. This will be a large and im
portant work, and its estimated cost is
about $5,000,000. The river will be
crossed by a cantilever structure with
two 608-foot anchor spanis antd one
central span of 1,070 feet. The via
duct approaches will be of spans vary
ing from 25 feet to 150 feet, as the
height of the supporting towers in
creases. The total length of metal
superstructure will be about two
miles, and it will be double-tracked
throughout. The channel span of
this bridge will be the longest truss
span in the world except the 1,700-foot
spansof the Forth bridge. The channel
span of the Memphis bridge is 790 feet
-There are more suicides in Ger
many in proportion to the population
than in any other European country.
The yearly aderage for somfte years past
has been 2.7t the every 10,000 of popu
lation. In France; Aiistria, England
and Italy the averate percentage for
the same period has beefl 1.87. 1,63, .76
and .46, respectively, to every 10,000 of
population. In the Austrian army
there is an average of 12.53 suicides to
every 10,000 men; ihi Germatly. 6.33;
Italy, 4; France, ..83, arid ingland,
2.00. There were fewer suicides in the
Prussiah army last year than in any
year since 1878. Thh curious fact is
learned that more than twice as many
non-commissioned officers as privates
commit suicide. Investigations as to
the causes which lead to so many sui
cides in the army have yielded but un
satisfactory, because incomplete re
sults. The fear of punishment for
misconduct is a chief cause.

The reader of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hal's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting naturein doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its cura
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

Don't Blame the Cook
If a baking powder is not uniform in strength,
so that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it, and uni
formlygood, light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed a falling off in strength. The food
is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
It is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket, if not in health, by accepting any sub
stitute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
It is always strictly reliable. It is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power, which no
other powder will, until used, and make more
wholesome food.
"THER. are times," said the man-with the
oratorical manner. "when we are over
whelmed with humiliation at the powerless
ness of the human mind." "That's very
true," was the reply; "I am often made to
feel so." "Indeed?" "Yes. I have a four
year-old daughter who asks questions."
