THE TRIAL AT TIPPERARY.

THE TRIAL AT TIPPERARI.
DUBLIN, Sept. 26.-The streets of Upper
airy were thronged with people until late
hour last night discussing the exciting
event of the day. AS little progress had
been made toward the disposition of the
case against the arrested Nationalists, and
as the general impression created by the
court ruling was not one complimentary to
the tribunals sense of fairness. there was
much speculation as to what tomorrow
would bring forth. Leading Nationalist
had prolonged consultation in the even
ing. A further attempt to bring Sergeal
Kennedy Of the police force to account for
some of the clubbing in front of the court
house yesterday will be made sensational.
Tipperary this morning is much more
tranquil than yesterday. The streets are
still lhronged with people who seem to be
laboring under suppressed excitement, but
there has been no collision with the police.
The authorities are taking special precau-
ton to guard against the possibility of an
outbreak. \ detachment of soldiers are

WEEKLY REVIEW.
General Statement of the Condition Of the
Business of the Country.


General Statement of the Condition Of the
Business of the Country.
New YORK, Sept. 26.-R. G Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Liquidation in nearly all kinds of specu
lation comes to the disappointment Of
many in connection with the largely in
creased supplies of the money, and pro-
vlded a way for healthy trade in all
legitimate branches. With lower prices
there appears desired Improvement in
exports of products and the decrease for
the past three weeks is now only Al per
per cent compared with last ear. Imports
are much enlarged by efforts to get goods
into the country before the new tariff goes
into effect, but current accounts of such in
crease are exaggerated. The value of i'm
ports for three weeks has been but 15H per
cent above last years record. A consider
able increase appears in woolens, linens
silks and other dry goods, but there is fair
prospect that merchandise exports VIII not
equal imports for the month.
Grain does not move freely as yet, but
the exports of cotton exceed last year ma
terially and provisions move in large guam
titles. Reports from other cities show a
remarkable activity in all branches of legiti-
mate trade. The excess of bank clearings
over those of corresponding weeks last year
in all cities outside of New y ork rises to Is
per cent for the month thus far and at
western and southern points the
gain averages about % per cent.
Chicago notes heavy decline in grain re-
ceipts compared with last year, but a large
increase in dressed beef lard, hides and
wool, and decline in butter and cheese.
The dry goods, clothing and boots and
shoe trade exceed last years with salts
factory collection. Kansas CITY reports a
steady trade, and Savannah notes general
activity, with firm prices for staples
Though money is very active al most
points and rather stringent at many, the
volume of business does not seem to be any
where curtailed thereby, and reports as to
collections are much more favorable than
usual.
The great industries as reports already
cited show are decidedly active, and wool
manufactures having especially improved
with much more satisfactory orders. Cot
ton manufacture is sustained by large
demand for the goods, and IN numerous
MINOR industries the expected change of
duties is said to be the basis of greater &C
tivity.
Business failures during the last seven
days number 219 as compared with 1899 last
week. For the corresponding week OF last
year The figures were 1872.

Run on q Bank.

GUTHRIE, 0. T., Sept. 26.-The failure Of
the Capitol bank Of this city Wednesday
precipitated a financial crisis today and
anxious depositors formed in line at the
paying teller's window of the Commercial
bank, the principal flnancia! institution in
the city, anxious TO withdraw their funds
Checks were paid as soon as presented.
When the stock of available cash
ran low the friends of tie
institution offered relief in the shape OF
money, which stood the drain until 4
O'Clock. the regular closing hour. At that
hour additional funds arrived from Newton,
Arkansas City and Kansas City, and were
piled high on the paying teller's desk. The
sight of so much treasured the crowd, and
many of them decided to leave their de-
posts in the bank. A quieter feeling exists
tonight, and il is believed the crisis has
been successfully passed

MORE STREET RAILWAY TROUBLE.
Accidents at Chicago Charged to Employees
for Certain Alleged Purposes.

CHICAGO Sept. 26.-The Journal says this
afternoon that the strike Of the West
Division Street Railway company is newt
able, and that the time set for it is next
Monday. 1t is asserted that there are
several causes leading up to it, chiefly
among which are the agitation by political
leaders who wish to make capital out of the
situation and the antagonism between the
unions comprising the force. The officials
of the company have reached the con.
clusion that a rike must come, and
prefer to have it now. They say they pro
pose to make an uncompromisins fight,
and will never again employ any of the
8 rikers, no matter what it costs. They
will hire new men and run the cars if they
have 10 load them down with police as
passenger. 1t is alleged that a cries of ac-
cidents which followed the opening of the
new west side cable was not due TO mad
vertence, but that they were deliberately
perpetrated by employees to give the i'm
preston that the line was badly construct d
and so gain the sympathy Of the public
when the time arrives

Outlook for Southern Steel.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 26.--A special
from Chattanooga says the last ana most
complete test of steel making by the Basic
During the past few days it used charcoal
pig iron, but at the last test tried the Or
binary pig, using two parts for one Of Sc ap
iron. The heat was finished in seven hours
and the metal ran when poured as easily a.

every particular, the phosphorus in the pig
being thoroughly eliminated. Portions OF
the steel were hammered down cold and
then bent and twi,ted in all way, withou
fracture or crack. No test could have been

Fort WORTH, Tex, Sept. 26.-Is ex-Mayor
Pendleton in Fort Worth? That is the
question over which the people of this city
are at present worked up. A few weeks
ago City Secretary Early sent out from his
office circulars to all parties to whom the
city is indebted to notify them of the
amounts due them and asking them
to call at his Office for the cash. Among
those to whom such notices were sent
was eX.Mayor Pendleton who was ad-
dressed at Chicago. This morning there
appeared atSecretary Early's desk Mrs. W..
F. Tanning, sister of Miss Addie ]. Cullen,
the telephone girl with whom Pendleton
made, his famous escapade. She
pl eseated the circular before sent
to Pendieton with an endorsement
by Pendletun making the sum named
Sl1.50 payable to Mrs. Fannin, the bearer.
With this circular was also a note address,
ed TO Secretary Early to the same effect,
dated Fort Worth, and bearing Pendleton's
genuine signature. This fact first led to an
Investigation of Pendleton's whereabouts
to. day, and this afternoon ii was developed
that man named Buchanan who had
disappeared claims to have recognized
Pendleton on eXas and Pacific tram
couple Of days ago, coming to Fort Wcrth
in a semi-disguise. This is not substan-
tiated A reliable citizen, not given to ro-
mancing, says that last night about mid
night, when in the neighborhood of Pen
dletons old residence on Seventh
street, he observed tall man
answering to Pendleton's description
heavily muffed walking back and forth
and glancing up frequently at the old resi-
dence. The gentleman says that he gave
no heed to the stranger at the time, but in
view OF today's development he has no hest
fancy in saying it was w. S. Pendleton. The
people of the city are much warmed up over
the rumors almost as much so as when first
