Bradstreet's Journal, in its commercial
summary OF the 18th says: The condition
OF general trade is quite as favorable as that
mentioned at any previonsdate withinse "
eral weeks past. The steadiness and strength
manifestetlby the demand fordry goodsand
for wooden fabrics have encouraged many
dealers at eastern distributing centcrs to
look for stcadiness in the movement. 1t
may be added that the gain in the demand
Tor pig iron tends in some degree to inspire
the confidence manifested in various quar-
tiers thata turn in the tide has at last taken
place and that the increase in consump-
ton OF staple commodities may preserve
Il steady growth 1t is a welcome sign
that tho boom is discernible in any direction.
The Financial and Commercial Chronicle
OF the 18th says: The exchanges for five
days, as received by telegraph this evening.
do not differ materially from the figures OF
the preceding period, the gain in aggregate
being $~3,515,372. The comparison with
last year, however, is more favorable, the
increase in the whole country reaching 1914
per cent, while outside OF New York the ex-
cess is I'd per cent.

shooting by the boys, the dancing by Con-
ductor Clark, and the few minutes delay
OF the train were not denied, it was claimed
that no damage to person or property was
intended. The jury deliberated two hours
and found the defendant guilty. The court
imposed q fine OF $40, which, with costs
makes a heavy bill for a few minutes fun.
The other TWO, julie Klein and Jack Tis-
dale pleaded guilty and were fined $500

John W. CARROTS Millions.

BALTIMORE July IAN inventory
of the estate of the late John w.
Garrett was returned last evening to
the Orphans Court for Baltimore
county by o. P. Macgill, the ap-
praiser. Messrs William f. Frick
and T. Harrison Garrett were pre-
sent when the document was filed.
The gross amount returned was S5,-
774.509.56. This does not include
any of Mr.. CARROTS interest in the
firm of Robert Garrett & Sons and
no portion Of the real estate. As
the above amount is only a part of
the deceased millionaire's wealth,
and a smaller part of it, it does not
indicate the extent Of Mr.. CARROTS
possessions. The bulk of the pro-
perty is invested with the banking
houses of Robert Garrett & Sons,
including the 10000 shares of Bal,i-
more and Ohio stock, which is to re-
main. intact for twenty years, and
then TO be divided between the
three children-Robert, T. Harri-
son and Mary Elizabeth Garrett.
The real estate also forms no incon-
siderable portion of the estate, that
in the city alone being valued at full
ly two millions of dollars. As the
moneys invested with the banking
house will not be returned the
amount cannot become known !;
consequently the exact sum left by
the railroad magnate will be known
only to the executor and the chill.

gave out Cleary limped from the
hallway and advanced, taking de-
liberate aim. Dudenhoefer thrust
his hand into hia captive's pocket

JoHNsTowS N. Y, July 3.-Las,
evening people here were startled
by seeing a man driving through
Main street on run, inquirinc for a
doctor, saying that man had shot
a girl and then killed himself. 1t
appears that Israel Wollenski was
desperately in love with handsome
young lady named Clara B. Jeffers,
only daughter of Robert b Jeffers,
a well-to-do farmer residing about a
mile and half west OF the village.
On Thursday evening Miss Jennie
Stewart and Miss Jeffers we're out
riding when WolIenski drove up
and asked the latter to ride with
him, which she rafused to do. He
repeated his request several times,
urging her to go but she refused and
started to drive toward home. VOL

should go with him, saying. "If
you do not go with me, I'll take
your life and commenced firing.

firing three or four shots. He then
stopped and shot Miss Jeffers four
times, once in each hand, once in
her back and againin the bre; 8 and
then shot himself on the right side
of his head, the ball coming out of
the LETT eye, taking the eve with it.

be fatal.

An Ohio Farmer Unearthed $1,000
worth Of Gold and silver Coin.

RACINE, o., July 3.-While Adney
Larson, who lives on a farm seven
miles back of here, was planting a
piece of newly cleared ground, he
unearthed a pile of old coins, most
ly foreign, some dating back to the
year 100. Most are 5-franc pieces.
with some Mexican pieces, and a
few rare Americans coins. Larson
has acknowledge to finding $1,000.
Traditions of money having been
buried in the vicinity have hoated
around the neighborhood ever since
Its settlement, but without definite
ness. The farm was in the line of
Morgan's retreat in 1863, when treas
ure is said TO have been buried by
his men in the neighborhood, but
that would hardly account for the
peculiar kind of money found.

SCRANTON, Pa, June 30.-A terri
BILE explosion of gas occurred early
this morning in the lower vain of the
Delaware. Lackawana and Western
Diamond Mine. The shaft was
completely destroyed and the fan
house wrecked. The explosion shook
buildings all over the city and threw

Riosous Strikers in Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The strike of
the street car drivers nearly precipi-
tated riot to-day. Three cars, the
foremost containing eight policemen
and reporter, and the others filled
with police and deputy sheriffs,
went down town on Madison Aven-
ue from Western avenue, and were
unmolested, but at Jefferson street
on the return trip, they were met by
a crowd of 1000 people led by the
strikers. The mob hurled beer bar
rels, bricks stones and other missiles
at the cars, smashing the windows
and finally wrecking the cars.
Several arrests were MADE. but the
police were powerless to handle the
mob. At Union Street the cars were
stopped by distractions placed on
the track, and shot was fired by
policeman at a supposed ring-.eader
but did not take effect. Missiles
were even thrown from the build
ings at the cars. The mob grew
larger, and several policemen were
injured by stones. AT Ann street
the cars were so totally wrecked that
they were pulled from the track and
taken under the escort of heavy
guard of police to the company's
barn on Western Avenue. The riot
Gus demonstrations then ceased.

THE FOURTH.

Although historians may cavii and
doubt as TO the actual day ON which
the signatures were affixed to the
declaration of Independence, yet the
American people have by common
consent settled upon the 4th of July
as the anniversary ofthe severing OF
the ties between England and the
colonies and the naming of them as
"free and independent States" The
old Puritan rigor, that made every
act of life devotion and every as
piration a sacrament, that character
lied the celebration in the days when
we were near to the shadow of Bunk
er Hi, and the SHOWS of Valley
Forge, has in a measure passed
away, and if we no longer look on
the smoke of powder as incense, or
spread-eagle oratory as eulogy, it is
because the Independence of the
Republic has become not only known
of, but an example to all nations.
Though celebrations are less noisy,
patriotism is Just as deep and as
ready to respond to the call at the
slightest approach of danger as when
it sent back the grand response, 1--WE
are coming, Father Abraham, hun
dred thousand strong" Devotion
to the true principles OF that Dec
laration has become part and parcel
of the very life of our people, and
we are more inclined to remember
the fruits than the planting of our
independence. The step involved
fearful peril to those who took 1t,
but out Of the grand possibilities has
been garnered such a glorious har-
vest of success that we are apt to
forget their struggles and rest con-
tent in the enjoyment of their VIC
tory. Never was faith in principle
more severely tested, nor has it ever
received a more glorious reward.
Let the date be what it may, it is
well that by general consent we
should dedicate one day to rejoicing
over the beneficent results that have
followed that Declaration, and the
great advancement it has made pos
sible in individual liberty.

ed Ont.

New YORK, July 4.-The careless
use of fireworks in the basement OF
the building No. 63 Broadway this
evening led to a conflagration which
damaged the building owned by P.
Harmony & Sons to the extent OF
$4,000. A much more serious loss,
however, was sustained by the Bal
timore and Ohio Telegraph and Ex-
press companies whose main offices
were in the building and whose loss
in furniture instruments, wires, etc,
is from $4,000 to 100000. All con-
nections with outside offices was cut
off for several hours until temporary
quarters could be procured else
where. The company expect to
have things in working order by
Monday. The Delaware and Lacka-
wanna Express company also lost
its valuable furniture. Two fireman
were. seriously injured, and the jani-
tors family narrowly escaped suffo-
cation.
