Q Acreage Smaller Than Last Year-In
dus.rlal sitaatloa-wool Market.

Egw YoRx, March 81. - Bqdsirsrfs jour
nal, in its commercial summary says that
the cold weather checked trade during
the week, and from almost all the large
cities word is telegraphed that the season
inbusiness circles is backward. The ship.
ments OF dry goods from Boston aud New
York are about IS heavy as one week ago,
but takings are no larger. Jobbers in dry
goods continue to monopolize the busi-
ness reported, aud makers agents await
the depletion Of stocks in second hands.
Collections in general lines, which were
better during the early part Of the month,
have fallen away. q
at Philadelphia leading merchants re-
port no rush Of business. AT Boston the
lingering winter weather retards trade,
and at Cincinnati business dfags, though
there Is no tendency TO lower prices. There
Is some disappointment at Chicago owing
70 the lack Of increasing activity, and at
Cleveland the delay in seasonable traffic
IS attributed tot the weather. Atthe larger
Southern cities there Is moderately.
active trade, except at New Orleans, where
1t continues OF aband.to.mouth character.
The erallndastriaI situation has i'm
proved to the extent that the strikers on
tue Gould system OF railways have gained
their point and returned to work.
WHEAT psospEcGs.
Brad.treet's 's,adyices from southern Indi-
ana are that the loss in wheat from de.
creased acreage and other causes will be
from 10 to q. percent The worst pros
psct is reported in Kansas, where our ad-
vices are basedon extended inquiry, point
TO one-third less acreage and serious dam
age in the autumn.sown crop from other
causes. Seeding Of spring wheat has been
begun at many points In southern and
some in northern Minnesota and Dakota.
The total acreage there Is believed 10 he
stationary or slightly decreased. In
the southern portion ofthe region specified
thereis some ediyersitication Of crops, HeS
being largely sown. In the north the
acreage to wheat is somewhat larger In ex-
pectation OF a smaller total crop this year.
While II Is probable that reports OF de-
creased wheat acreage and damage TO the
winter crop may haveibeen exaggerated, 1t
is quite certain that the autumn.sown
wheat has been injured by various causes
and that there has been less Of 1t planted.
There is little change in iron and steel.
Leading rail mills have bid S26 per ton on
iron contracts and have been underbid.
Not more than 5000 tons Of the l5, 600 tons
orders reported to be in the New York,
market are considered desirable on ac-
count OF the financial condition OF the
would-be buyers. Prices Of steel rails are
lower than ever before.

Five Persons Known 10 Have Been Killed
aud -Four Badly Wounded.
CHICAGO, March 22.-The fire which de.
stroyed the Langham hotel last night
proves TO be much more dreadful in loss
Of lie and physical injuries entailed than
was supposed until a late hour last night.
1t is now known that at least five persons
was killed and four injured. Just before
the southwall OF the hotel fell upon the
Faxon building q number OF persons be-
sides those OF the fire insurance
patrol were inside the latter build
ing assisting to save goods, as no
immediate danger was apprehended.
There is no means OF knowing Just how
many Of these volunteer helpers were in
the structure at the time, but excavations
have proceed to an extent which iustities
found. SO far as known those at work in
the Faxon building when crushed by the
falling hotel wall were as follows: Cap
tain Edward Sheppard, James Boyd,
Knute Thine, Patrick Mullens, John
Walsh and Frederick Jones, all OF the
fire insurance patrol, William Bean,
piano tuner, and John Hennesey,
clerk, both employed in the
building. Mullins and Thine being
near the rear OF the building,
were forced out through one Of the win
dows by tho rush Of air as the building
fell and are not dangerously hurt. Cap
tain Sheppard and Boyd were pinned
d wn by the falling timbers and rescued
alive about midnight, both seriously hurt,
but It is believed they will recover. Walsh
and Jones were taken out about o'clock
this morning, both crushed to death.
Ban was alive when found and taken TO,
the county hospital where he died at s
O'Clock this morning. The body Of Hen
messy waa recovered at @ o'clock tonight.
Soon after the walls fell the wreck took
fire and the fremen turned several streams
on the blazing mass TO save their com.
rades from being roasted to death, though
atsthe imminent risk Of drowning them.'
The water was Joe cold and dfenohed
the poor imprisoned fellows, chilling
them to the marrow. Mrs. q. v. Belknap,
who was killed by jumping from the up:
per window, was the widow Of Colonel
Belknap, who died some years ago at New
Orleans. She'll many friends in Gin,
cinnati, Her remains are still at the city.

FOUGHT To TnEF1NIsu.
a Horrible Battle between a Man and u
aferoelous MastIh. n

LoulsSthbE, March GA fierce batti,
between brute and man was reported yes
terday. Gottleib Hartman, German
who lives Just beyond the city, on the
Street road, recently imported a fin.
blooded dog from, Germany. Thedog gwa.
mastitf, and a ferocious brute. 1t was
ponderons in strength and as savage as
Southern bloodhound. Mr.. Hartman in,
trusted his premises to the watchfulness
and powers OF the animal, but little
dreamed that he would be the victim 70
his sentinel's faithfulneas.
Last Thursday Mr.. Hartman was called
to the city on business that detained him
until late hour In the night. Hiswife
has been Ill for some days, and to more
securely guard the premises and protect
the family he unclaimed the mastiif be-
fore leaving home. About l2 o'clock III
the night he returned and, forgetting that
he had turned his dog loose, carelessly
entered the yard. He had neglected to
take his night-key with him, and not
wishing TO arouse the family he went to q
rear window that he knew was easily
opened and was attempting an entrance
when his faithful savage dog attacked
him. 2tpaS
Just as he raised the window, the dog
sprang upon him and seized him by the
arm. Mr.. Hartman tore loose from the
hrute's fist hold only to be. gathered In q
tirmer grip. A terrible struggle ensued,
the man fighting for life, while the dog
was as tenacious and ierocious as tigress.
The mans arm was lacerated, aud he soon
became convinced that he was but child
in the paws OF his foe. The sight Of blood
seemed to increase the anger Of the mas
LII, which fought him with indescribable
ferocity.
Itwas evident that 1t was battle to tile
death, andMr. Hartman drew large dirk.
knife from his pocket and plunged IL into
The brute's throat. He Piled the weapon
several times beforethe dog would let 90
his hold. But growing weak by the loss
of blood, the brute finally fell to the
ground and expired in a few minutes.
Mr.. Hartman was terribly punished.
His arms, right thigh and both shoulders
we're bitten and torn in a frightful man!
ner. DR.. Payton was called aud is attend-
ing the patient, who is suffering intense
misery. It Is feared that amputation OF |
1is left arm will be necessary.
The dog was valuable one, and Mr..
Hartman had refused $500 for 1t only q |
ew days previous. He says, however.
hat 1t is asnre eass OF death for either
1inl or the dog, and he had to kill him to |
ave his own life. 1twas fierce struggle

WASHINGTON, D. O., March 2l.-secrc-
tary Of the Navy Whitney has written a
letter to Mr.. John Roach, in which the
Secretary declines to accept the vessel Just
completed by Mr.. Roach. The Secretary
says he found that the Dolphin did not,
upon her trial trip, come up to the
terms OF the contract, which calls for de-
Velopment Of Z, 500 horse power by her en-
gines. He says, however, that the Ad-
yisory Board report that the deficiency OF
horse power required was not due to de-
fective workmanship or materials, but that
with better coal the vessel would come up
to the requirement Of law. He, therefore,
suggests another tricl trip for the purpose
Of demonstrating that this supposition Is
correct.
