NEW YORK. Oct. 17.-Business
throughout the west and south is i'm
proving. At eastern centers there Is
less satisfaction and the expected
results from the harvesting of large
crops are more slowly realized. Yet
the volume of trade. as shown by pay
ments through the clearing houses out
side OF New York, is as large as it ever
has been and for October may even
surpass the unprecedented record of
last year. The output of furnaces in
blast October l was lS1, 6l5 tons week
ly, against 10. $40 September l and
49, 63 year ago. Yet this enor-
nous production is marvelously alb
sorbed, fer stocks of coke iron are not
larger than a month ago, and of an
thFacite and charcoal are q little
smaller. The wool manufacture is
short of orders in the mems wear de-
partment though Chicago clothiers are
buying freely, but on the whole cloth
iers have not taken nearly their usual
supply of goods and many OF the mills
are closing. The demand for dress
goods is strong. and many superior
qualities are offered, while knit goods
are dull as well as carpets. The cot

change in prices. At Chicago the
clothing and dry goods trades are &C
tive and the movement of farm prod
ucts large, though receipts of cattle
fall below last years. At Detroit man
ufacturing is active and factories run
ming full time. At Milwaukee, Mime
apolis, st. Paul, Omaha and Kansas
City business is very active. especially
in lumber at Minneapolis, with advance
in prices, while the output of flour is
175, 600 barrels per week. against 49,
600 last year. The largest orange
crop ever grown promises improve
ment in trade. Foreign trade. though
smaller than year ago when the move
ment was extraordinary, is even larg-
er than in previous years, and heavy
exports of breadstuffs promise further
reinforcement of gold from Europe

BALTTMoRE, Oct 21-The mangled
remains OF young woman were found
at the base OF the Washington monu-
Inent, on Mt. Vernon place, this after
noon. She had thrown herself from
the top of the shaft, which lowered
1855 feet above her dead body. It is
presumed that the woman went 10 the
top of the monument with the dellber-
ate intention of committing suicide.
A gentleman who was on the monu-
men while she was there noticed her
agitation and asked her II she felt ill.
She made some vague reply and was
soon left alone. She then made the
swful leap to the stone tagging below.
The woman had evidently meditated
suicide. She made a visit to the top
OF the monument last Saturday. when
IL Is believed her courage failed her
The remains. which indicated refine
ment and genteel poverty, were for
long time unidentified. This evening
they were recognized as those of Miss
Alice Hecht, of 2I0 West Fayette
street.

Living on Dog Meat.

ST PETERSBURG, Oct. 2I.-Advices
from Southeastern Russia. state that
extraordinary measures are being tax
en- everywhere by the local authorities
to deal with the distress, and that sys-
tematic personal application is being
made to all the well-to-do for aid. The
appeals do not bring in as much as we
hoped on account of the stagnant con-
dition OF trade. From the district of
Jetincheh comes a peculiar story to
the effect that the dogs OF that region,
which are noted for sagacity and
which are used largely for carrying
burdens and other domestic duties by
the peasantry, have nearly all disap-
peared. having been killed by their
owners and others for food.

A River Victim.

BELLEVUE. Neb., Oct 22.- While
out hunting ducks last Sunday Frank
Smith and a companion discovered a
skeleton lying face downward and
partly imbedded in the sand and drift
wood on a bar in the river about six
miles southwest OF this place. There
was no flesh on the bones save the
skin. reaching from the shoulders to
the hips and was entirely destitute OF
clothing or anything by which it could
be identified.
Judging from the length of the
skeleton. the teeth and the hair, found
underneath the skull in the sand,
which was of a dark brown color, the
conclusion is thnt the bones are those
of a boy about II years of age.
1t is about two months since the
river fell, leaving the bar on which
the skeleton was found dry, and it is
supposed to have been left there at
that time

ternoon, killing five men and wound

explosion is not positively known. The
engine was an Ames machine and was
stopped while the separator was under

seems to be that when the engine was
started and pumping commenced. the
cold water came in contact with the

at this place, where it arrived at 7:15
this morning. The trip from Omaha

effort to impress visitors with the high
character OF the exhibit and are great
lv pleased with the results OF their la
bors. The surprise expressed at the
real character of the products exhibit
ted is no greater than that evidenced
on all sides that the much circu-
lated calamity and starvation stories

Deathin nTnnk

NORFOLK, Neb., Oct. 19.-Sunday is
the day set apart by the beet sugar fac
tory people for cleaning and repairing
the machinery and yesterday morning.
Lloyd Cobb entered or fell into one OF
the carbonation tanks, which is thirty
feet in circum ference and twenty feet
high. The door at which he entered
was six feet from the base. Young
Lloyd's duty was TO clean out the tanks
and as no one appears TO have seen him
enter, it is merely matter of conjec-
ture whether he, in leaning through
the door. fell in or whether he entered
the tank and was then overcome by
the carbonic acid gas, which is used in
the manufacture OF the sugar. AS soon
as he was missed, search was instituted
and Jules Vigereaux, chief machinist,
entered the tank to rescue young Cobb,
when he was also overcome. He was
finally rescued by G. II. AXley. Lloyd
Cobb died soon after being taken out.
Mr.. Vigeraux is still alive but chances
for recovery are decidedly against him
