of Trade.
R. g, Dun & Co, : weekly review of trade
says; Bushes continues large in v0lume
and generally profitable. lii many branch
es there is noteworthy expansion on ac-
count of the new opportunities which the
revised tariff gives. Sales of wool are
rather large, but there is distinct inn
prOVement lii the market for wooden goods,
and manufacturers are more hopeful.
At Chicago there is q marked de-
crease in receipts of cured meats, dressed
beef, lard, butter, and hides, but in
cheese and wool an increase, and the volume
of business continues larger than year
ago, with satisfactory collections of dry
goods and clothing 1t is remarkable fea-
ture of returns this year that the Western
cities appear to prosper without the slight

the seaboard, At Milwaukee trade is salts

and at Minneapolis receipts of wheat reach
100000 bushels. At Kansas City trade is
healthy and at Denver good.

SAD END OF ALL.
A Brilliant Young Man Falls Into Evil
Ways and Is Murdered.

The grand jury at Danbury Conn.,, has
indicted Frank Mccoy for the murder of
William Walton. The murder was COM
mitted about week ago. and Coroner
Doten, of Bridgeport, who has since been
working up the case, has secured strong
evidence against Mccoy. Walton was a
graduate of Harvard. His father is clergy
man in New York, and gave his son every adj
vantage of education. After his graduation
Walton went to Danbury, where his father
had charge of o church, and at once en-
tered the best society. A year afterward
he became a common drunkard and was
frequently locked up for the offense.. He
went rapidly down hill and associated with
the lowest characters. 1t was while on a
spree with Mccoy that he was killed. Wal
ton contracted a love for strong drink while

QUEER CASE OF POISONING.
A Chemists Experiment Results in Mis-
fortune,

Four persons employed at the Quaker
City Dye Works in Philadelphia were poi
soned in peculiar manner Two OF them
will die. The victims are: Bernhard
Hughes, 10 years; James Tighe, 46 years;
Walter Spellman, 81 years; William Eber-
hardt, II years. For week past a chemist
has been experimenting with new dye.
Directly beneath the laboratory is the
dressing-room in which the street clothes
of the employees are kept. 1t is supposed that
the ingredients used by the chemist in
his experiments formed a compound which
produced prussic acid, and that some of the
deadly fluid leaked through the floor of the
laboratory to the dressing-room and satu-
rated some of the clothing there. The men
inhaled the fumes Of this deadly poison.
The physicians attending Hughes and Eber-
hardt say they will p;obably die. Tighe
and Spellman inhaled less of the poison,
and their cases are not SO dangerous, al
though they are still very sick.

NO LIQUOR FOR IOWA.
Judge Shiras Says Original Packages Can
not Be Sold.


Judge Shiras in the United States Circuit
Court, at Des Noines, Iowa, has rendered
an important decision on the subject of
liquor in "original packes," taking direct
ly opposite view f2om that held by
judges Philips and Foster in the Topeka
case. He said that, with all due Difference
to Judges Phillips and Foster, he was bound
to say that, in his opinion. they had mis-
stated the points in the case at Topeka. If
there was any question that is thoroughly
settled by the decisions of the courts
it is the absolute and unquali-
fed right of a State to pass prohib-
itory laws. That question has been
forever settled. In repeated cases, carried
to the United States Supreme Court, it had
been held that Iowa and Kansas in passing
laws prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors had exercised powers rightly belong
ing to them as sovereign States. The orig
inal package decision by that court didn't
involve the validity of the Iowa law.
The question simply arose as to the point at
which the State had control of the liquors
imported into it. An officer acting under
authority of the Iowa law seized some liquor
in the hands of the importers agent
and the United States Supreme Court
held that the seizure was an interference
with interstate commerce, subject which
the Constitution delegates to Congress
alone. Then Congress, in the exercise of
this constitutional power. passed the Will
son bill. But that question didn't affect the
question of the sale of liquor in the original
package. 1t simply made imported
liquors subject to the laws of a
State from the time they entered
its borders. Therefore it is not neces-
sary that the Wilson bill should work
a revival of the Iowa law in order
to make the law operative. It has been
operative all the while. The only question
was as to the point where the liquor became
subject to the law, and the Wilson bill made
it apply to all liquors within the State,
whether imported or not In conclusion
Judge Shiras said: "The prohibition law of
Iowa is in full and complete force to-day
and applies to every sale of liquor made
within it's purview, the decision of Judge
Phillips to the contrary Notwithstanding.

LONDON's TERRIBLE FIEND.
Jack the Ripper Charged with Another
Murder.

The "Jack the Ripper" scare has again
caused sensation among the police and
the residents of the Whitechapel locality in
London. In a secluded part Of that neigh
borhood passers-by were shocked by finding
in an obscure alley the dead body of a
woman whose head had been nearly severed
while her body showed evidence of kicks and
bruises in themselves sufficient to cause
death. While up to the present time no
knowledge has been obtained as to who the
victim was, it seems evident that she was a
woman of low repute, and this was suf-
ficient to start the cry that "JacI the Rip
per" had been at work again. The police
actively began operations in a search for
the murderer, but thus far no arrests have
been made.

covered a Fatal B1under.
A letter was recently sent by Senator
John r. Mcpherson to member of prom
inent importing house in New York This
letter is likely to create a sensation in
commercial circles all over the country.
Following are the more significant passages:
beg to call your attention to conference
report and tariff bill sent you about ten
days or two weeks agO-a quartO pamphlet
of 125 pages. On page IT'S you will find
amendment 449 and Sec 30-the reading
matter relating to drawbacks on tobacco
stricken out Turning over to page 176,
sixth line from the top, you will find the
following:

Now, in the tariff bill you will find:
@Sec. 30. That on and after the first day
of january ETC., ETC., ending with "stX
cents per pound,n leaving all the rest of
original Sec. 80 out altogether.
This omission is fatal to the bill, and in
the opinion of eminent wyers-SenatOr
Carlisle among them-it vitiates the whole
bill. 1t is an internal revenue section, but
being part of the tariff bill passed it stands
and falls together
IL a host of eminent authorities cited by
the New York Herald are correct, the mer-
chants of New York and elsewhere, says
that paper, may realize that they have
been emancipated from the intended eff
fects of the Mckinley bill. The President,
if the Senator is right, has signed O. bill
which never passed the two houses of Con-
gress The bill which did pass the two
houses of Congress has not been signed by
the President Therefore the alleged bill
under which the Government officials have
begun to levy impOsts since Oct. not hav-
ing passed Congress, is not the law of the
