TRADE REVIEW.

Dun's Weekly Review shows Trade TO Ne
Brisk and Money Tight-ETeot Of the
New Tariff
NEW YORK, Oct 1s.-R @. Dun a
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says: in
all directions business improves and the
volume Of trade is so increased that,
Notwithstanding tho recent enormous
increase OF circulation, the money mar
kets are growing stringent Exports
have become remarkably large, and the
domestic trade is such that exchanges
outside of New York exceed last years
by IL per cent But while New
York and Boston money markets
are fairly supplied and steady at
from to 9 per cent, the market is
tight at Chicago and stringent at Phila-
delphia, only part of the commercial
paper offered being taken at from to Z
per cent St Louis notes an active
market at Z to per cent, Milwaukee a
close market at and Savannah tight
market But at Cleveland and Detroit
the markets are rather easier, at Kansas
City firm, at Denver a good demand Is
we'll sustained, at Omaha the market is
easy and at Pittsburgh there is good
demand without stringency.
Trade is strong everywhere. At Bos-
ton wool is rising and goods in better
demand, while cottons are selling we'll
and firm. At Philadelphia wool is more
active and slightly higher, the output
of cotton is increasing, there is an in
creased demand for paper with tendency
towards advance in some grades and
the liquor trade is stimulated by new
duties Chicago reports smaller receipts
of green and cured meats and dressed
beef, cheese and butter than year
ago, but slight increase in lard and
double the receipts OF wool and larger
transactions in dry goods and merchan-
disc generally. with satisfactory pay.
mentS St. Louis merchants are ad-
justing themselves to new tariff condi-
tions and trade is strong. At Cleveland
) and Milwaukee bad weather has re-
tarded trade, which is nevertheless of
fair volume. At St Paul, Omaha, Denver
and Kansas City trade is good. At Min
neapolis the flour output declines to
166, 900 barrels, but wheat receipts were
1,S00, 900 bushels At Pittsburgh the
iron and glass trades are active, with
prospect of an advance in window glass,
and at Savannah trade is brisk.
The new tariff has caused an advance
in prices of some kinds of goods, which
together with the rise resulting from
partial failure of crops has moved up
tho general level of prices materially,
though less than one per cent on all
commodities since October q But the
higher range of prices accounts in part
for the quick absorption Of circulation
far greater than that of last year.

PANIC IN SCHOOL.
Deplorable Stampede Owing to an Alarm
of Fire.

CHICAGO, Oct 1S-There was q panic
with probable loss of life in St Stanis-
laus Roman Catholic Church, on Noble
street, in the Polish settlement in the
northwestern portion of the city this
morning
The priest, Rev. Father Barzynsky,
was conducting an eight o'clock service
for children, and the church was filled
with the little ones While the service
was in progress the altar draperies
caught fire from one of the candles and
a panic ensued. In the wild rush
about twenty of the children were
crushed and trampled on and some Of
them received injuries which it is be-
lieved will prove fatal
There were about 1, 500 children, ac-
companied by their mothers, in the
church at the time. The women and
children became panic stricken and
rushed pell-mell to the exits Those in
front were pressed upon by those be-
hind and lost their footing on the stone
steps in front of the building. where
they were trampled upon by the fleeing
multitude.
The arrival of the fire department
added to the stampede, and in few
minutes 10000 people had gathered in
the neighborhood. The fire was quickly
extinguished, and the police with much
difficulty rescued the wounded children.
None of them were dead but large
number were injured, a few seriously.
Joseph Jasak, 10 years old. has q
fractured skull and will probably die;
Stanislaus Kaminska, injured internal
ly; Frank Dreweicki, severe cut on the
head; Stanislaus Furgot Q years old,
injured internally; Martin Keoski, 10
years old; Frank Sick, 10 years; Leon
Skowkowsky, IL years
The scene after the panic was over
was terrible. The stone steps at the
entrance were covered with blood. The
carpets on the floor of the church and
many of the pews were torn up, and the
church had the appearance as ii some
bloody riot had taken place there.

CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

THERR is much anxiety felt in San
Antonio, Texas, and among the horse
raisers throughout southwest Texas
over the outbreak of glanders, which is
prevailing to an alarming extent, and
with great fatality on the ranches in
several of the counties west of San
Antonia.
THERE is doubt of the reward OF
$40, 900 offered for the capture and deliv-
ory of Rube Burrows to an officer being
paid. AS is we'll known the outlaw was
killed before he was turned over to the
custody of any lawful officer. 1t is said
the Postmaster General will refuse to
pay the government reward.
A JAIL delivery occurred at Athens,
O., on the 18th. Seven prisoners es-
caped by saving a hole through the
roof. The remarkable part OF the mat
ter is that Charles Taylor, awaiting
trial for the murder of his wife, came
back the next morning and gave him
self up.
THREE HUNDRED emigrants passed
through Gainesville, Texas, on the nth
en- route to Louisiana to locate. They
were thoroughly disgusted with Kan
sas, and said they had not raised re-
spectacle crop in five years. They will
settle on one place in Louisiana and
form colony.
THE Corncob Club is the latest social
organization to be brought into exist
ence in Chicago. 1t is composed OF a
number of bankers, journalists and
other professional men. 1t is intended
as a protest against the rise in prices OF
cigars occasioned by the new Mckinley
Tariff bill, and the only qualification
for membership is that those elected
must smoke corncob pipe on the streets
in lieu of a cigar.
Mrs. JEFFERSON DAVIS has gone to
New York, where she goes to read the

The town of Telluride, Col, is wild
with excitement. The great Sheridan
tunnel struck the vein on the 10th, ana
develope ed large body of ore, very high
grade. The tunnel was commenced In
November, 1887, and has been run 5000
feet, at cost of nearly sSOO,OO0. This
strike puts $4,000, 200 in sight

State Constitutions.

The Convention of 1917 was held by
authority of Congress to enable the peo-
pie of the Territory of Mississippi to
frame a Constitution that the State
could be admitted into the Union.
The Legislature of 1880 adopted an
act to allow the people of the State to
vote for or against the calling Of con-
vention to adopt new constitution.
The question was submitted to the peo-
pie and a majority voted for the conven-
tion. Hence, in 1881, the Legislature
passed an act calling the convention in
1882, and it was accordingly held.
Thus it will be seen that the people
in 1880 voted directly in favor of Con-
stitutional Convention, and the Consti-
tuition framed in 1882 was the creature
of their will.
The Constitution of 1868 was submit
ted twice, June IS, 1868, and defeated
by vote of 6S, $50 to So, ,231, and Novem-
ber so and December 1, when it was
adopted, its most Objectionable sections
having been omitted.
The first Constitution was framed by
a Convention which met in the town of
Washington, July II, 1917. and adjourned
August Is.
The Constitution of 1882 was framed
by Convention which mot in jackson,
September 10, and adjourned October %.
The Convention of 1868 met at Jack
son, January Z, 1858, and adjourned
May Is.

Miscellaneous.

THE good weather has encouraged the
farmers of Pamela county and crop pros
poets are looking brighter. Many who
have thought cotton greatly damaged
are changing their opinion somewhat
and have concluded that old Pamela will
make good crop Notwithstanding the
rains.
w. II. ANDREW & Bros, cotton fac
tors and planters of Vicksburg, have
entered suit for $4,000 against George
8. Irving, alleged to have been damages
done them by two letters written to
Dun and Bradstreet's commercial agen-
cies, alleged to contain false state
ments concerning their business stand
ing. They aver that Irving is the
author of both letters, which bear, how
ever, fictitious signatures. The de-
fendant in these suits, one OF the city's
leading merchants, a prominent plan
ter on large scale, and President OF
the Board of Supervisors, denies the
authorship Of the letters entirely.

Kicking sovereigns.

BRooKHAvEN, Oct. IS. - The Fair
River Association, now in session at
Bogue Chitto, Lincoln County, and
representing constituency over 1000
members, passed resolutions this morn
ing condemning the action of the Con-
Stitutional Convention in refusing to
abolish the saloon in Mississippi, and
also strongly protesting against Section
s of the Article of Franchise. The un-
derstanding clause of Section was
roundly denounced by a number of
speakers as a fraud, and both resolu-
tions were adopted by a unanimous ris-
ing vote.
The Mississippi Association, which
met few days ago in Franklin county,
took similar action. The people in this
section are not at all satisfied with the
timid, evasive way in which the suffrage
and liquor questions have been dealt
with, and indorse the proposition of
Judge Chrisman and the men who have
, stood with him.
