Business Outlook.

NEW YORK, Sept. AR. G. Dun s.
Co.'S weekly review of trade:
The passing of a dividend by the st.
Paul, caused a fall in stocks and the
government stock reports fall in
wheat, while the export trade. though
improving. continues nall; but the
volume of legitimate business is large
and increasing, and there is improve
ment in the productive industries.
The crop report was so much less
gloomy than other recent accounts that
it caused fall of 81 cents in wheat
and st cents in oats with corn cent
lower; yet it is well to observe that in
large sections the farmers have Jared
badly with this crop, upon which they
depend mainly for cash returns, aud
their purchases may therefore prove
lighter than many anticipate.
The annual cotton statement just
published, shows that last years crop
was 7,0l7, 7O7 bales, though the bureau
and the cotton exchanges estimated g.
800, GOO. The new crop has promised
to be larger, but the effect of recent
heavy rains cannot yet be fully meas
ured.
The monthly statement of furnaces
DldSO H1lOhS dH OuJ-DuD
of 1858 tons of pig iron
weekly; an increase of 6.577 tons for
the month, and prices nevertheless are
well maintained with stitfening at
Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Southern
productions gain largely, and the de-
mand for bar and other manufactured
iron improves, but in steel rails there
is no change for the better.
Consumption in cotton manufacture
has been Der cent larger than for the
previous year, with a considerable in
crease in SpindleS at the south.
Once more the reports from interior
points are uniformity encouraging,
both as to the volume of business and
as to the money market. Collections
are either fair or improving little.
AT New Orleans it is thought that
the injury to cotton has been generally
exaggerated.
At Kansas City recent rains are held
to have diSpelled all fears as to the
corn crop of that region, and Omaha
reports very good crops.
The volume of business measured by
bank exchanges, is larger than last
year by 10 per cent outside of New
York. though smaller than At per cent
here.
The passage of dividend by the st.
Paul has not been expected, but it con-
vinces the public That the losses of the
western roads, because of the inter
state act have been far heavier than
the spectators have represented, or in
vestors believed.
The export trade still falls far behind
last years. Preliminary statements
Tor August, of breadstuffs, cotton, pro-
visions, dairy products and oil aggre-
gate on S27 ,446, 118, against $50, 6T3 $50
last year; a decline of % per cent.
For two weeks of September the
New York exports show q decrease of
per cent, while imports here increase
Is per cent.
The rate of interest has been rapid
lY advanced; the treasury purchased
over 8, GOO 900 more bonds on Thursday
and has paid out for the week one mil
lion more than it has taken in.
The business failures number 2I7. as
compared with a total of 224 last week
and 226 the week previous to the last.
The figures for the corresponding week
of 1887 were 1S8.

Reward of Merit.

SAN Francisco, Sept. IA -Alexan-
der Goldensen, who shot and killed a
fourteen-year-Old school girl named
Mamie Kelley ON November 10, 1886,
was hanged in the county jail here a
few minutes after noon to-day.
No hanging since the days of the Wig
ilants' committee has excited greater
interest on the Pacific coast. His
crime came near causing a riot, and
two Intellectual attempts were made to
lynch him by aSsaulting the city jail,
but in each instance serious disorder
was prevented by the police. NotWith
standing the popular feeling against
the young murderer, the legal fight in
his behalf was prolonged for nearly two
years.
The murderer's last night was passed
in drinking, card playing and blasphe-
my. The only known cause for the
shooting of his victim was her refusal
to accept his attentions. Goldenson
was eighteen years old when he COM
mitted the murder and was person of
vicious habits.

AWichita Mystery.

WICHITA, Sept. l4.-The body of a
man was found in thicket, just north
of the city, on the bank of the Little
river, to-day, by some parties out
gathering wild grapes. 1t was in an
advanced state Of decomposition. and
had been eaten by dogs and hogs. The
authorities being notified an investiga-
Yion was made, when. it developed to
be the remains of J.. c. Srebold. a
young contractor, who disappeared
from his home about month ago.
The skull, which was found three feet
from the trunk. was pierced by ball,
showing how death had been caused.
It is not known if it be case of murder
or suicide, and an investigation will
be held by the coroner tomorrow.
There are several circumstances. how
ever, that strongly point to murder.

If anyone is contemplating joining
the democratic party let them read the
following by Bob Ingersol:
1 am opposed to the democratic party,
and win tell you why. Every state
that seeded from the United States
was democratic state. Every ordi-
nance Of secession that was drawn was
drawn by q democrat. Every man that
endeavored to tear the old flag from the
heaven that it enriches was democrat.
Every enemy this great republic has
had for the last twenty years has been
a democrat. Every man that shot
union soldiers was democrat. Every
man that starved union soldiers and
refused them in the extremity of death
a crust, was q democrat. Every man
that loved slavery better than liberty
was democrat. The man that assas-
sinated Abraham Lincoln was a dem
Ocrat. Every man that sympathized
with the assassiu-every man that
was glad that the noblest pres
ident ever elected was assasSinated-
was a democrat. Every man that
wanted the privilege of whipping an
other man to make him work for him
for nothing and pay him with lashes on
his back, was democrat. Every man
that raised blood hounds to pursue hui
man beings was q democrat. Every
man that clutched from shrieking,
shuddering, crouching mothers the
babes from their breasts and sold them
into slavery, was democrat. Every
man that impaired the credit Of the
United States was a democrat. Every
man hat AIYfRrf3 VrOIrl6 never n " fine

that cursed Lincoln because he issued
the proclamation of emancipation
was a democrat. Every man who
believed that any state could go out of
the union at its pleasure, every man
who believed that the grand fabric of
the American government could be
made to crumbie instantly into dust at
the touch of treason was democrat.
Every man that helped to burn orphan
asylums in the city of New York was a
democrat. Every man that tried to
fire the city of New York was q demo

invalid pensions to-day decided to rec
ommend to the house that the bill |
granting pension to Teresa Herbst, |
widow OF John HerbsG, late private
company G, fourteenth New York vol |

veto. The deceased died In 1853 of
heart disease: he was soldier in the
union army until he was captured by
the enemy on the 10th of August. 1854,
when he joined the confederate forces.
Later he was captured by General
Stoneman while in arms against the
United States government. He ex-
planned that he deserted to the enemy
TO escape the hardships and starvation
of prison life. He was released and
mustered out of the service in
October, 1865. The president in
vetoing the bill held that the disabili-
ties of which the deceased suffered at
the time of discharge were quite likely

rate army, and he declined to take any

The president Endorsed the papers as
follows: Denied-"I am moved with
pity for the six motherless children of

and regard for the public order and
decency initiate so strongly in my
opinion against the exercise of Glenn
ency that feel it my duty to resist

IF there is any reason why the
knute Nelson wing of the Minnesota
republicans and the democrats should
not vote together this year, it is not
plain at this distance" says the
Columbus Enquirer Sun. Mr.. Will

to be elected governor; President
Cleveland should have the ELECTORAL
vote, and Knute Nelson himself
would make very honest and capa-
bic United States Senator. 1t would be
an excellent arrangement for all con-
cerned." Unluckily for the democrats
Knute Nelson does think that way.

JOSEPH HOFFMAN. an ex-union SOL
der of German blood, n resident of
Washington, Texas, told the senate
committee when he testified before it
some time since to election outrages in
his congressional district that he did so
at the risk of his life. 1t appears that
his fears were well grounded, for a re-
port comes that he was shot and killed
a few days since in the town where he
had lived for years, which is in the dis
trict represented by Chairman Mills.
When the the matter was up in the
senate Wednesday, Senator Butler OF
South Carolina sneeringly remarked
that the subject did not interest him in
the least. But then he once led in
