CHICAGO, July lS-The coroner's in.
quest in the matter Of the explosion on
the steamer Tioga was continued this
morning. City Oil Inspector Grain tes-
tilted that he had seversl times found
naptha on board vessels in this harbor,
shipped by tho Genesee Oil Company,
Of Buffalo. and had notified the con.
signees OF the fact, but had received no
answer. He had found three shipments
Of naptha by the Genesee Company via
the Union Steamboat Company during
the present month. The witness said he
had no doubt that both the Genesee
Company in Buffalo and its brauch
house here had knowledge OF the viola.
ton OF the law in this respect.
Agent Morford, OF the Union Steam.
boat Company, testified thut his crm.
pany would not knowingly accept naph.
,ha for shipment. The company was
imposed upon in the naph,ha shipment
on the Tioga. "Right after the explo.
sion," he said, "The Gennesee Oil Com.
pany sent representative to tell me
that, as | seemed to be in trouble, ii it
would help me out to have them take
the oil from the dock, he would remove
it at once. l told him, r guess not not

The coroner then explained to the
Jury that Alonzo BEDFORD, the Chicago
agent OF the Gennesee Oil Company,
had been subpoenaed to be present, but
that he was not now to be found. a re-.

well known timber dealer from Gilmer
county played neat trick the other day
on some unsuspscting furniture men in
Cincinnati, by which he scooped in over
q hundred dollars without much trouble.
Walnut timber isscarce, and the Gilmer
county timber king had splendid large
walnut tree on his farm, which he con.
cluded to cut down and sell. He ielled
his tree, and sold 1t on the ground to q
buyer Tor an eastern veneer works for d
neat sum. Before he: shipped the fine
piece Of valuable timber, however, the
wiley Gilmer county timber king care
fully skinned the bark of Of the walnut
log and laid it by for future use.
The lar seeing timber king then cut
down large black oak tree, likewise
skinned it, and proceeded to tack on to
the oak log the bark from the walnut
log. He did this job so neatly and deity
that the oak log looked and acted lust
like genuine walnut log. This he
hoated to Cincinnati, along with some
other timber, and successfully Negotiated
it as piece Of walnut timber. Tho log
was fiity.three feet long and he received

The admiral was seen on board the FLAG

Ihe admiral had no: yet had opportun.
ny 10 complete tho perusal OF the mass

tect British vessels from seizure by
American cutters, or to retake nny that

considered the matter principally from
what he had read OF It in tho press rs
purely one for diplomatic negotiations,
aad no had yet to learn what new phase
had presented itself that would suggest
the possibility OF war ships being re.
quired to take hand in the adjustment
OF the difficulty,
Admiral Holham said he could hardly
see how tho United States could estab.
lisli tenable claim to close Behring sea
and thought that Canadian interests
Must win in the diplomatic fight pro.
gress'ng. While his information on the
,snblect and on points OF international
law would not justify au opinion, he
thought 1t somewhat strange that seal
ers that had been seized had been strip
ped OF their contents, seal skins being
removed to cutters, aud then apparently
alowtd "a TO escape. When a prize crew
was put on board Of SLAYER, seized in
similar fashion, the slaves were not
taken oil, but went with the seized boat
to the nearest prize port, where their case
was adjudicated. 1t certainly looks like
a Strange proceeding to remove the sale

through the farce OF sending them to a !

Had England any intention OF sending
one OF the fleet to Behring sea this year |
to prevent the seizure OF the schoone rs |

That orders would have come long avo. |
Now, If one did go, it would practically |

CAPE MAY, July ls.-Alrs. Harrison
had narrow escape from severe injury
when riding through Washington street.
AS the Presidential carriage which con-
tanned Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Mckee and
baby Mckee was passing Wash
ington and Decatur streets a
lad in q dog cart whipped up
his horse and attempted to pass the
Harrison carrisge. In his excitement
he lost control OF the horse, which gave
g sudden lurch and struck an electric
light pole. The now thoroughly fright
ened animal dashed up the street at a
full gallop. The boy tugsed at the
lines maniully, but without avail. As
Mrs. Harrison'a carriage approached
Decatur street the runaway horse
dashed ahead msdly and barely
missed overtutuiug the White
House family in the crowded
avenue. Passing the Harrison vehicle
the irenziel animal plunged upon the
pavement III front Of Kennedy's phar.
marcy, breaking an iron post and demol-
ishing the glass Of big show window,
where it Was thrown and lay bleeding.
At the sight Of blood Mrs. Mckee faint
ed, and there wac rush OF pedestrians
to give the women assistance. Before
service was protiered, however, Mrs.
Mckee rallied, and the careful White
House coachman had whipped up his
horses and turned their heads toward
the cottage at the Point. ~

THE TREND OF TRADE,
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Re.
view Of Business Outlook.
THE SITUATION ENCOURAGING
Better Tone In tho Iron Market
Wool Dull and In Limited DC.
nand..N0 Change Caused by
tho Silver BIil...Failurcs.

New Yonx, July lS.-R. G. Dun 4
Co.'s weekly review Of trade: The sil
vcr bill has been passed and Is signed BY
the President, but has had scarcely any
effect on the markets ns yet. No change
appears IN money markets aud foreign
exchange remains steady. Tho indus.
trial outlook Is not improved by delays
in Congress, nor by drought in some
Western States which seems likely to cut
down the yield Of wheat. but the volume
OF business still continues very large for
tho sepson, and the prevailing tone in
most every department Of trade Is conf.
dent and hopeful.
Western wholesale trade is quiet IN
summer goods. Cotton goods are strong.
er, but wool favors buyers. The Chi.
cago Board Of Trade statistics continue
to show a great increase over last year
III the movemento Of all grain and flour
and in meats. Cleveland notes the larg.
eat trade since last year, though season.
ably quiet at present.
A rather better tone is reported in the
Philadelphia iron market. Shipments
for six months have been 7l3,oO5 tons,
and sales made already cover about three
months more Of production. Corn Is
lower. Wool is dull and ia limited dc.
mand. No definite improvement is seen
IN The wooden goods market. Little is
doing at present in knit goods. The
speculative markets have been curious.
ly variable. Wheat is more than half
cent lower than week ago, notwith.
some evidence Of injury from
drought. The stock carried over from
the last crop year is estimated at G0.O0O,.
O00to 10000, 900, which, with q yield even
smaller than is now expected, will more
than meet all probable requirements. |
Corn has advanced nearly half cent
higher again in spite OF favorable crop
prospects. Hogs and pork products are |
weaker, and conee is unchanged, though
the distribution is very moderate. Raw
sugar has advanced sixteenth, though
refined is lower aud the Sprcckels pro.
duct is offered below that OF the trust. |
The general average OF prices Of com.
modities is nearly one per cent lower
than week ago, and with no set back |
in crop prospects considerably lower
quotations seem probable.
The business failures occurring |
throughout the country during the last |
seven days number 2O7 as compared
with total OF 197 last week. For the
CORRESPONDING week last year the figures
we're 90S.
