POISONED WELLS IN MISSOURI
A Number of Wells Near ST. Louis
Found to Contain Arsenic.
From the Neao York Herald.


Found to Contain Arsenic.
From the Neto York Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20.-The people of Chel-
tenham, a suburb of st. Louis, have been
considerably alarmed of late by the heavy
death rate, caused evidently by some i'm
purity in the water supply. Those attacked
would have symptoms of acute cholera
morbus, ana no less than six deaths have
been recorded during the past two weeks.
Chemical analysis of the water of one of
the wells showed the presence of arsenic in
startling quantities, and demonstrated that
the sO-called cholera morbus cases were due
to arsenical poisoning.
About two weeks ago Charles Kohl was
taken i'll. 1t was in the we'll of his prem
SeS that the poison was found, and sensa-
tonal charge of well-poisoning was pre-
terred against neighbor with whom Kohl
bad had previous trouble. The accused man
sternly asserted his innocence. A week
later Kohl was again taken sick and died.
The inquest determined the fact beyond
Contravention that Kohl's death had been
OF all the wells in the place showed that
arsenic was present in all of them.
WHERE THE ARSENIC CAME FROM.
An analytlcal chemist then made the
discovery that the Cbeltenham smelling
works used great quantities of arsenic in
the smelling of gold and silver for cleansing
and refining purposes, and that arsenious
acid was formed by the combination of the
moisture and vapor of the air with the
arsenic fumes that pour out of the com
paay'S chimney in binding cloud of
smoke
Another theory is that the arsenic is
washed from the precious metals by food
Of water. This water flows away into a
huge sink-hole, and creeps through the
earth into the wells for miles about.
Besides Kohl, the poisoned water has
caused fatal illness to the 5-year-old son of
Mrs. p W. Knott; to James Brady, aged
80; to Amelia Richstader. aged IL; to Fred
9rlck Mannheim, aged 3, and to Frank j.
Paxton, aged Al.

COLD WEATHER COMFORT,

How are you fixed for the winter? Do
you know that the outlook Is a cold
one? Indications point to ice on the
Ogeechee canal thick enough TO skate
on,and just such winter as we had three
years ago. Straws show the way of the
wind. Look at the travel already to the
south, and put it down for fact that
even in this favored cline Blankets
will be at premium. We won't take
advantage OF the cold, but the stock
will not be as full as at present. and the
prices will not fall with the tempera-
ture.

died now and We can take care of all that come.
This is Thanksgiving Week, and our Menu of
Bargains is very attractive. Indeed, we could
not have selected a more appropriate one.

change of consequence in pork products,
and oil is fraction stronger, but leather IS
again half a cent lower, butter &c and cheese
half a cent lower, and flour has declined for
some grades so to 20 cents per barrel.
Speculation in cotton is still strong and the
price is an eighth higher, with sales here of
$50, 900 bales, and exports continuing very
large.
EXPORTS EXCEED IMPORTS.
In consequence mainly of the enormous
cotton movement, the value of exports in
March exceeded the value of merchandise
imports by 50, SSS, 1896 The net exports of
gold, S., ,712, ,225 for the month, and about
81, ,000, 600 of silver, made about 81 800, 900
paid abroad against interest due and under
valuations. For the three months the ex-
ports of merchandise and specie represented
about half the estimated interest and under
valuations.
These figures show that, in spite of much
weakness in speculative stocks, the foreign
investments still exceed Withdrawals of
foreign capital, and of late the demand for
railroad and other bonds has been excep-
tionally strong. In European markets the
general tendency Of prices is upward.
Since April the fall in the average
prices of all commodities here has been fully
half of per cent. The drygoods business
in other cities is fairly on level with that
of last year, and prices are we'll main
! tained.
DRYGooDs' COLLECTIONS.
1t is a good sign that collections in this
branch seem to be generally improved. The
grocery trade has also been more active. No
sales of Lake copper are reported here, but
London prices are still lower, while tin is
stronger. The demand for lead seems to be
supplied for the present, and S. IS is the
latest quotation.
While the number of failures has beer
very large thus far this year, there is moi
the feeling of uneasiness which usually at

DUN & co.'s WEEKLY REVIEW.
The Iron Market still Unsatisfactory, Al
though Firmer in Spots.

The Iron Market still Unsatisfactory, AL
though Firmer in Spots.
NEW YORK, April 26.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. weekly review of trade says: Business
in this region is so interrupted by centen-
nisI preparations and the approaching holi
davs that the decrease in volume is not
surprising. Reports from other quarters
indicate a continued improvement, and
even in the iron and wooden branches the
signs for the present are more favorable.
Money is accumulating here and plenty
at nearly all interior points; collections are
generally better, though no improvement is
seen at Milwaukee; and while the general
complaint is that the present demand for
money is moderate, the confidence that busi-
ness will soon expand it as strong as ever.
The iron market continues unsatisfactory
here, and Southern Is sold at SIG 75, and a
sale of steel rails at less than $27 at mill is
reported. But the feeling at Philadelphia
is clearly improved, the demand for plate
and tank iron and sheet iron being fair,
while there is decided improvement in agri-
cultural iron and in nails.
BAR IRON Is FIRMER.
The market for bar iron is more steady.
1t is not yet clear that the consumption l:ill
sustain the present large output OF pig iron,
and prices do not strengthen. In the wool
market, also, a better feeling is noted. In
drugs and chemicals, also, another trade
which has been very dull, distinct improve
ment is observed at Philadelphia, with col
lections in better shape and prospects
higher.
In most Of the speculative markets prices
are lower. and that fact also gives promise
of larger and freer trade Wheat is 2 cents
lower at SO cents, with sales of 40, SOC, ,0OO
bushels for the week; corn is 11I cents
lower at 42X cents, and oats cent lower.
Coffee has not changed, but speculation in
sugar has turned downward. There is nc
