The Wholesale Druggists.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 23.-At yesterdays
session of the annual convention of the ma
tional Wholesale Drug Association the. re-
concentrations of the Board of Control in
reference to the sale of proprietary goods by
wholesale druggists were adopted. James
Richardson of st. Louis thought a uniform
system ought to be adopted by the wholesale
druggists, and offered resolution, which
was unanimously adopted, declaring that it
was the sense of the association that no
more time should be granted on sales than 30
days and no more discount than one per
cent for each within ten days. The follow
ing resolutions, recommended by the Board
of Control, were adopted:
Resolved That no member of this association
shall offer any superior financial inducement to Sc
cure the services of any salesman OF traveller in
the employ of any other house connected with
this association.
Resolved That the solicitation or purchase of
retailing trade by offer of railroad passes and paid
board bills is practice unbusinesslke and demor-
alizing, utterly unworthy of any frstclass drug
house and confession of inability to compete
fairly and honestly.

Two Men Killed by the Collapse of a
Sewer.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. pa sewer exca-
walton, 20 feet deep, caved in yesterday pill
ing up a mass of dirt ON top of the sewer
opening 10 feet in depth. Four masons,
Thomas O'Brien, Charles Derok, and John
and Mat Williams, twins, were known to be
at the bottom. In a few minutes Derok and
John Williams made their escape through a
manhole square distant, having had the
presence of mind to dodge into the complet-
ed part of the sewer when the earth began
caving in. After four hours steady digging
the other two were recovered. The plank
walls, in coming together, had crushed their
bodies, breaking a number of the bones, and
it is probable that they suffered indescriba-
BILE agony before life became extinct.

INDIANAPOLIS. March %.
The milder weather may be improving bust
ness somewhat-doubtless is-yet merchants
ore patiently waiting for more marked i'm
proyement-more snap in trade. The New York
Shipping List, in commenting on the business
situation, says; Nothing has transpred to in
dictate departure from the conservative meth
DDS of buying so long practiced. but this hand
t0mouth policy throws the burden of carrying
stocks upon jobbers importers and manufacture
ers and results in an accumulation Of supplies
that is more apparent than real, for under ordi-
nary conditions of trade the responsibility and
esrense Of carryins stocks would be more
widely distributed instead of concentrated, as
at present. 1t Is this feature that is apt
to irnpart somewhat more unfavorable as
pect to the situation, and in some degree
neutraize the effect of steady outlet and the
sctual absorption of a large amount OF merchan-
disc. The man who is not accustomed to car
Tying heavy stocks feels discouraged because his
supplies do not seem to move of more rapidly,
forgetting that he is carrying stocks formerly
saddled upon his customers who, il not buying
aa freely as heretofore, come oftener to replen-
ism, and in the end absorb much as ever for
the actual requirements Of their trade. For all
staple commodities, whether ct food, clothing or
Whatever relates TO household economy. there is
70 reason 10 believe that actual consumption has
