New York, May OR. G.. Dun u
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: All
ordinary business indications grow more
favorable, while speculation in some lines
is active, possibly nearing the point of
danger. The volume OF legitimate bust
ness is on the whole greater than it has
been this season, and greater than any
previous year. Money is comparatively
easy and commercial credits are und!s-
turbed.
Great industries look better, even al
Pittsburg, where the recent decline in
iron was felt most. There Ia a decided
improvement, pig being higher and hes.
sinner 81 per ton higher, with manufac
tured iron strong. At Philadelphia prices
have slightly improved.
Nothing favorable can be reported Of
wooden manufactures or trade in wool.
ems, except that makers appear to have
adjusted themselves to the situation,
though buying only for present needs
are still buying with hope that the change
of tariff may lessen foreign competition
In speculative markets wheat has been
stronger, raising &c. with sales of $4,000
bushels here and exports continue fair
Corn has declined barely 1c. and oats
raising as much; pork products are all &
shade lower.

Murder in M

SEDALIA, Mo-, May 28.--John William
son, 60 years Of age, a laborer on the
farm Of JEFF Moore, was found in a pub
lie park this morning nearly dead from
the effects of a dose of strychnine, taken
with suicidal intent. He was given
medical assistance and will ecover. Soon
afterwards a farmer living in the vicinity
OF Moore's farm reported the discovery
there of the dead bodies of jeff Moore
and his son, Charles. He also reported
that the place was deserted. Williamson,
who attempted suicide, was suspected Of
the crime. The farmer who reported the
crime, was taken before HIM and identi-
fed him az the labcrer on Moore's farm.
Moore had been missing for some time
and when Williamson was asked where
he had gone he said he was visiting
friends in an adjoining county. Moore
was poisoned with %strychnine and il is
supposed that Williamson committed the
crime intending to rob the house anu
finding nothing Of value and fearing de.
lection, attempted to commit suicide.
The doctors say he will recover. He Is
now under arrest.

feet wide. The water vas five feet deep
IN Fifth avenue and II number of houses
which were below grade were submerged.
1t was by far the heaviest and most dis.
astrous rain storm Tor years.
At Greensburg William Fry, gardner
at St. Joseph academy, was struck and
instantly killed by lightning. Heavy
rains caused great damage in the low
lands in this vicinity. Lightning also
struck Col. Huff's palatial residence,
First Reformed church, and other build
ings, doing great damage in every in.
stance.
Near W ashington, Pa, lightning struck
q derrick in course of erection on Col.
Robert Miller's farm shattering it and
killing William Furman.
Much damage is done to railroads in
the flooded districts and all trains are de-
layed. A dispatch from Oil City says
heavy rainfall to midnight, creeks and
rivers higher than since 1883. A freight
train or the Nickle Plate road went
through a bridge and 25 cars were piled
or top of each other. Tralnmen escaped.
Reports from various points indicate
storm was the severest for years.

How Many Pc pie Have We?


Mr.. Speer of Butte, who has charge of
the census for Montana, has appointed
Judge Race as enumerator for the Great
Falls district with general powers regard
ing the other districts of Cascade county.
Cascade county will probably be divided
for census purposes into seven districts
such as "Sun River" "Ulm and Cascade"
and so on. The districts will be made up
Of election precincts that are contermi-
nous. Owing to imperfect returns some
delay has occurred In fully defining the
Cascade county districts. Mr.. Speer is
now in correspondence on the subject
with Judge Race to whom he leaves the
selection of euumerat0rs for the several
districts. The judge has already report
ed favorably on the application of Mr..
Willis for Sun River district. Judge
Race says he will choose enumerators
solely on the basis of competency and
trustw orthiness. He desires that the
work shall be we'll done in order that

SPRAY OF THE FALLS.
(From Saturdays Daily

lfrOIn 5aCurQAyS Dally.J
The road to the lower falls could with
II little work be made one of the most
beautiful drives adjacent to Great Falls
At present there are q few very bad
places which should I've bridged and with
some filling in - t-i places the road
would be in sp.-Aulu condition. This
road is the shortest and most practicable
route to all the falls of the Missouri and
should receive the early attention of the
county commissioners.
Mlssoula and Great Falls were candi-
dates for the next session of the X. of p
Grand Lodge, but Great Falls, with her
customary modesty, withdrew and Mis-
s0ula was unanimously chosen. A purse
of 1850 was offered by the lodge, to
which Missoula offers to sdd $3.50, for
the best drilled company at the next
meeting, provided two or more companies
compete. Captain Owens of the lodge at
Deer Lodge also offers to present the
winning company with a regimental ban
ner.
The Anaconda Standard says. The
prediction was made today that within a
year from date the Great Northern, form
erly the Manitoba, would be running into
Spokane Falls. The gentleman making
the assertion is not altogether disconnect-
ed with the general Offices of the com
pany and consequently it is but reasona
BILE to assume that he knows what he is
talking about. Should the prediction
prove to be correct the Great Northern
will then have a continuous line to Seat
tie and other sound points. The Seattle,
Luke Shore & Eastern, at present running
between Spokane Falls and Seattle, Is
virtually a western extension of the Great
Northern, having been built with II viaw
of ultimately connecting with the then
Manitoba route, az its was called before
the recent consolidation was effected, At
the time the first named road was being
built it was generally believed that Presl-
dent Hill, if not the entire system he rep
resented, was behind the new road. Sub
sequent events have tended to strengthen
that belief.

1T WILL AND IT WON'T.

Some Pointers About the Great Northern
Extension Westward.
The following appeared in the Missoula
Gazette on Friday last as a ''speclal'
from st. Paul:
Railroad circles are today agitated over
a semi-official announcement made to
the effect hat the Great Northern rail
wsy has definitely decided upon the BIZ
Blackfoot canyon and thence through
MisSoula as its western course. This in
formation is said to come from persons
directly connected with the management
of the road, and interviews had today by
your correspondent with prominent indi-
viduals indicate that conclusions have
been arrived at whereby existing reports
and runners are materially confirmed.
1t has been for some time past generally
known here that the more northern
passes have not been found feasible
ami though preference has been
given to those sections the impracticabil
ity Of adopting them for a through line
cannot be overcome. Credence to the
reports is also extended on the ground
that Mr.. White of this city, the confiden-
tial land agent of the company, is prepar,
ing for a trip to Missoula for purposes
similar to those for which he voyaged
westward last fall. Whatever the present
rumors may indicate it is certain they
emanate from reliable sources and thai
definite results will shortly be made pub.
lie.
In this connection may be stated the
fact that the stories are totally discredited
by Northern Pacific officials here, the,
claiming to be in possession If conclusive
information to the effect that the route Of
the Great Northern will trend away
greatly to The north Of Missoula and dis
tant from the points cited.
