TRADE IMPROVING.

Fall Business Looking Up-Trade East and West Brisk and of Good Volume.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Dispatches to Brad streets indicate continued improvement in state of trade. The forecasts of recent weeks regarding the fall trade are being made good. The western cities generally report trade brisk and in large volume. Cincinnati sends word of general hardening of prices and increasing demand since last report. A marked improvement in the jobbing trade is noted in Detroit. In Louisville general trade shows gain over preceding weeks. Kansas City telegraphs increased activity with 8 more liberal movement than for several weeks. At Pittsburg and points east trade has been halting measurably owing to unsea- sonable hot weather. The temporary effect of the weather on New England trade is noted at Boston. The earnings of forty four rail roads throughout the country for August show earnings of $17,987, ,6S9 against $15,- 557, ,000 in 1885. The report of the National Cotton Exchange places the crop of 1885 S6 at (, 575, ,000 bales against 5,706, 900 bales cotton for the year was the largest known. Dry goods commission houses in Boston re- port fair amount of business. Prices are firm with occasional advances. While the mills are actively employed consumption keeps even pace with production. In the East the inquiry for crude iron has been moderate. St. Louis telegraphs that the in- creasing volume of iron is reaching consump- tion

A TERRIBLE sTORY.
A Fair Haven Woman's Sad Revsla-
 ton.

A Fair Haven Woman,s Sad Revela. ton.
 Last evening Miss Minnie Matthews, twen- ty years of age, who lives at the corner of Atwater and Pine streets, was arrested and taken to the precinct, charged with ssisting in burying 8 baby without 8 permit. Miss Matthews is 8 sister of Ella Matthews, aged thirty-three years, who it is said smothered her babe and afterwards had Minnie sink it in Quinnipiae river. MT. Pewtress, the pot tery manufacturer of Fair Haven, called on City Attorney Cable Thur sday night and told him the following story about the crime: "A day or two ago Mrs. Thomas Jones of Pine street was summoned to the Matthews home stead to see the sick mother, and not seeing the babe, and making enquiries about it, received the startling reply from the mother, I killed the baby. What cruel act it was on my part. I've been dying almost ever poor little thing. What heart a moth CT must have to do such deed , Mrs. Jones was naturally astounded at the revelation. She pressed for further in formation, especially about the disposition of the body, and was told, so the story goes, that the mother threatened to do harm to her sister Minnie if she did not take the dead body from the house. A large cloth was ob tained and the corpse sewed up in it, and then, in the darkness of the night, was car ried to the banks of the Quinnipiac river A weight was inserted to sink the body to the bottom of the river. Just when the body was thrown into the river no one seemed to know" Such in brief was the statement MT. Pew tress made to the city attorney, and what he detailed to a reporter yesterday. He added that he understood that when Minnie was going to the water side with the dead child she was accompanied by boy named Newhall, who leaves near the Shore line de- pot in Fair Haven.
 Mrs .Joneswhen seen corroborated Mir Pew tress' story in every particular.
 A warrant has been issued for the mother, but owing to her feeble condition. has not been served although the house is closely watched. The river is being dragged for the body, but up to late hour it had not been found.

A Consptracv to Kill a Man.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10.-A star tling case of the depravity of human nature has just been brought to light through the con- scientiousness of man named George Ehmes. Ehmes appeared before Magistrate Gillespie yesterday and filed an affidavit in which he alleged that on or about the 1st of September 'one Barbara Pressman did conspire with deponent and one William Gardner and one William Conrad to kill one Frank Glassmere, that the said Barbara Pressman did attempt to bribe deponent with the aid of William Gardner and Will liam Conrad by offering the deponent the sum of $50 to be paid to deponent after the killing of said Glassmere had been effected. D The facts are as follows: About fourteen years ago Frank Glassmere was the acce pted suitor for the hand of Barbara Frisch, but through some lovers' quarrel the match was broken off. Meantime Barbara married. Some few years ago her husband died and since Glassmere has been burdening Mrs. Pressman with protestations of his faithful ness which had evidently become distasteful to the lady. George Ehmes states that he was escorted by William Conrad some time ago, who inquired whether he would like to make some money. Conrad told him he would tell him at some future time how it could be made. Subsequently at confer ence at Mrs. Pressman's house the plot to kill Glassmere was perfected. At the hear ing to day Mrs. Pressman was held in $1 800 for conspiracy to murder and Conrad in $500 as an accomplics. Ehmes was placed under s1 1000 to appear as a witness.
 PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10.-Frank Glass mere when seen at his shoe store at 536 Race street to-day denied all knowledge of Mrs. Pressman's plot and said he guessed it WAS a hoax He did not think Mrs. Pressman was that sort of woman to engage in such affair.
