dorsey City Undertakers Attempt to Work
with Non Union Mon.
It has become necessary in Jersey City
now to have policeman at every funeral.
The undertakers and the union coach
drivers are at variance. Each has an assO-
citation, The drivers caused the present
trouble by refusing to drive if a non-union
cCachman was in line, and arrests had to be
made of the obstinate union men. The I'M
dertakers decided last week to check
these scenes and have practically decided
to dissolve the Drivers Union. The latter
will die hard. They manifested their dis
position to fight at the funeral of Mrs Bost-
wick in Greenville The undertaken in
charge was WillAm H. Spear. The drivers
quietly organized strike to compel Spear
to withdraw from the undertakers' or
ganization and sanction the Drivers
Union. The drivers did not show
their hand until they reached the
house of mourning. Then the demand was
made. Spear would not accede. and the
funeral was about to be postponed when po-
lice aid was sought The drivers were in
formed that as they had started to drive the
mOurners to the cemetery they must exc
cute the contract or they would be arrested
for conspiracy. The drivers had a confer
ence and concluded to abandon the strike
until some other time. The funeral was de-
layed only short time.

WANTS RECIPROCITY.

Sir Richard Cartwright on the Trade of
Canada with the United States.
Sir Richard Cartwright. the Canadian
statesman, discussing trade relations be-
tween Canada and the United States, de-
clared that the policy of the Dominion Gov
eminent in this matter had been vacillat-
ing and puerile. He dwelt upon the i'm
pOrtance of the United States becoming tho
natural market for most of Canada's prod
ucts and upbraided the Government
for it's derelction of duty in not
making sufficient effort to bring about
closer trade relations with this country.
He quoted statistics setting forth that the
United States furnished customers for fully
One-half Canada's exports. He held that
the tendency of Il protective tariff was to
the formation of rings and trusts for the
purpose of increasing prices of goods to the
consumer, and strongly pronounced in favor
of unres tricted reciprocity with the United
States. This, he maintained, would be i'm
mensely advantageous to the people of
Canada as whole, opening up to them the
benefits of a population of Is, 900, 900.

AFTER MILLER'S SEAT.
Who Will Fill tho Vacant Seat on the
Supreme Bench?

Supreme Bench?
While it is not expected that the Presi-
dent will name the successor of the late
Associate Justice Miller before December,
as the appointee, whoever he may be-
would not care to participate in the DELHI
erations of the Supreme Court before con-
firmation by the Senate, speculation is
already rife as to the men whose names
will be considered by the President. Nat
urally it is taken for granted that he will
choose Western man, but will not feel
that he is confined to a selection from the
judicial circuit presided over by the late
Justice Miller. Among the names first
mentioned in connection with the vacancy
is that of Attorney General Miller, who
holds a high place in the esteem of Presi-
dent Harrison, and is said to have narrowly
missed appointment when Judge Brewer got
the prize. Friends of Secretary Noble
claim that if the nominee is taken from the
Cabinet Mr.. Noble will be more likely to be
appointed than Mr.. Miller, because
the former is equally popular with the
President and will have stronger support
outside of his own State. Respecting Judge
Gresham of Illinois, it is believed that the
President is fully aware of his fitness for
the place. Senator Spooner of Wisconsin
is popular, able, young and energetic. The
President is known to be particularly par
tial to Senator Sp0Oner. President Harri-
son makes no concealment of his desire to
take time to make the best possible selec-
tiOn from among the names that may be
suggested as available west of the Allie

Mary Metzdorff, aged II, who killed her
brother James and Louise BrOadwaters by
putting poison in the breakfast coffee was
arraigned in court in Baltimore. While the
clerk read the Indictment the prisoner sat
sobbing with her head resting in the palms
of her hands. When he finished reading
the clerk asked if SIC was guilty or not
guilty and to the surprise of all she said:
II am guilty" For time silence
reigned, broken only by the sobs Of
the girl. ado you IInow,n said Judge
Stewart, looking up somewhat amazed,

are charged, and do you realize the punish
ment attached?" "No,n she replied, II do

plea of guilty and enter one of not guilty.
But Mary would not withdraw it, saying she
would be telling a lie if she said otherwise.
Her SObbing increased, and all efforts to get
her TO withdraw her plea were fruitless.
Judge Stewart had u consultation with
Deputy States Attorney Campbell, and then
said he would accept the plea Of guilty and
suspend sentence When Mary was arrested
and told what she had done she laughed
heartily, and said she had done it for fun.
There was no cause ever developed for the
Offense Her stepmother, Mrs. MetzdOrff,
who had partaken of the poisoned coffee
but recovered, had always, as far as could
be learned, been kind to the girl Mary had
been rather hayward. and had at one time
been sent to the House of the Good Shep-
herd. At the time the poisoning was done
she was employed in a wholesale drug store,
where she obtained the poison.

BUSINESS Is IMPROVING.

In all directions the business outlook i'm

that, Notwithstanding the recent enormous
increase of circulation, the money markets
are growing stringent, exports have become
remarkably large. and the domestic trade
is such that exchanges outside New York
exceed last years by Is per cent. But
while New York and Boston money
markets are fairly supplied and steady
at to per cent, the market is
tight at Chicago and stringent at Phila-

Louis notes an active market at to per
cent, Milwaukee a close market at {, and
Savannah tight market. Trade is strong
everywhere. At Boston wool is rising and
good are in better demand, while cOttons
are selling well and firm. The liquor trade
is stimulated by new duties, Chicago re-
ports smaller receipts Of grain, cured meats,

CANADIANS WANT A TARIFF.
They Would Like to Shut Out the Prod
ucts of the United States.

According to the Government officials at
Ottawa, intelligence from the various
provinces of Canada indicate that there is
a strong feeling among business men in the
country in favor of Canada adopting a
higher tariff in order to practically exclude
American products, both raw and manu-
featured The Dominion last year import
ed meats, grain, flour and other food
from the United States at a cost of
over ST., OOO0 900. By adopting prohibit
tory duties Canada, leading Conservatives
assert, will create a home market for
her own farmers. The Cabinet Ministers
will not talk but the utterances of Hon. Mr..
Foster, Minister of Finance, at ST. John, n.
B., indicate that the duties on manufac-
tured articles will, if necessary, be further
increased, in order to protect the Canadian
manufacturers. Sir John Macdonald is au-
thor of the epigram 8 That if there cannot
be reciprocity in natural and manufactured
products there must be reciprocity in

GEN. w. w. BELKNAP DEAD.
The Ex-Secretary of War Stricken with
Heart Disease While Alone.
WASHINGTON dispatch

Washington dispatch.l
The War Department Building is
draped in mourning for eX-Secretary of
War Gen. W. w. Belknap. His many
friends were shocked this morning to
hear that he had died suddenly and
alone, and that the fact was not discOv-
cred until many hours had elapsed after
life became extinct. The precise time of
his death is unknown, but it is surmised
it was after midnight Saturday and be-
fore 9 o'clock Sunday morning. He
spent Saturday evening with friends who
live near the building in which he had
an office and bedroom, which he occu-
pied in the absence of his family from
the city.
A dream which he dreamed on the
night of Friday, Oct. 3, exactly a week
before the sudden stroke which felled
Justice Miller, made a deep and vivid
impression upon Gen. Beiknap's mind
and imagination, and, although he was
man of sunny, cheerful temperament,
by no means given to Indulgence in
superstitious or morbid fancies, he re-
lated the dream to several friends and
dwelt upon it with considerable serious
ness He said that in the dream he was
engaged in conversation with Justice
Miller and that the latter suddenly
dropped to the ground, stricken with
apoplexy A week later when General
Belknap heard that his old friend had
been stricken he became more deeply
concerned than ever, and remarked to
several friends, II haven't heard the
last of that: there is more to come"
Several friends called at Gen. Bel
knaps office on Sunday morning; but,
unsuspecting the truth, left supposing
that he was asleep in the adjoining
room. This morning at $50 a lawyer
who occupied<ehe same office with Bel
KNAPP learned that the General had not
been seen since Saturday night. The
bedroom was opened by the janitor and
the body was found lying partly on the
bed, as though death had overtaken him
in an attempt to arise A physician ex-
amined the body and announced that
death was due to heart disease.
Mrs. Belknap and her daughter, who
have been spending some time in New
York, were promptly notified of the
death of the husband and father, as also
was Hugh Belknap, the Generals son.

Wheat.
The present month opened with general
need of moisture. Pastures were very short,
and the ground needed rain for blowing and
for seeding winter wheat. AS the month
has advanced the rainfalls have increased
to a very gratifying degree. In southern
Illinois the wheat is all up and the stand
very good. Receipts from farmers hands
are very small Millers have about enough
wheat to last them for sixty days. The re-
ports from Ohio all show that the seeding of
winter wheat has been done under very ia
vorabIe circumstances. The crop is up two
or three inches and looks clean and healthy.
