de Bpnco.Niles, whose romantic his
tory. including her departure from the
Nh, de Chantpi convent, near Wheeling,
al the instance Of Dr.. L. E. Miles, Of this
city, has already appeared in the INTEL
t,GgScER, was in the Probate Court
here to-day, making desperate legal
Bpbt for her children, two beautiful
bows, who are closely guarded by the
sbsrifF and did not appear in court.
The leading society people Of the city
wsrc present. Tho testimony was SEN
sational. One servant testified that
vine and beer were used In the Niles
bonsehold, but that Niles had never
sesn Mrs. Niles intoxicated, as claimed.
Nh. WEIGH, neighbor, testified that on
one occasion the doctor turned his wife
ont OF the house inthe pouring rain and
refused 10 allow her TO return.
The most important testimony was
that OF Miss Hattie Taylor, who was u
domestic. Among other instances Of the
doctors inhuman treatment, she related
the following: Ol one occasion when
Madame Niles was chiding her the doc.
toT entered, and asked what the matter
wm, Mrs. Niles told him, and continued
talking to her. The doctor commanded
her 10 shut up, aud because she did not
obey him, choked her. He then took
from behind dresser a gold headed
umbrella, which he proceeded 10 smash
in two pieces over Mrs. Niles head and
Ace, giving her black eye.
The case will be continued tomorrow.
There are fears that Mrs. Niles Spanish
blood will tempt her to do something
desperate, as she is determined to get
her children. Hattie Taylor, when on
the stand second time, testified that a
neivhbor came in and asked the Gauss
Of her black eye, to whom Mrs. Miles,
for the purpose OF shielding the Doctor,
said that she had bruised IL while dust
ing the dresser. DR.. Niles returned
meanwhile, to whom the neighbor said,
0Why, Doctor, found your vile in an
awful fix" The Doctor caTelessly re.
piled, "Oh, Paula often gets that way"
Mrs. Hoover, wife Of the manager OF
the telephone exchange, who knew the
plaintiff years ago, testified that she had
always found her kind and temperate
and very proficient in the teaching OF
French. The friends Of DR.. Niles on the
contrary claim that Mrs. Niles gets
drunk, is feariully extravagant and fond
OF beautiful clothes, so that she has al.
most bankIupted her husband also that
she has such a fearful temper that 1t is
wonder the Doctor has not become In
sane by living with her. Mrs. Niles is
now trying to make living teaching
French.
Society is all torn up over the affair,
and the whole city is taking sides. The
children are closely guarded meanwhile,
as It is feared one or both parties will
attempt to kidnap them.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Shows a Quiet and Hesitating
State, But the
OUTLOOK is FAIRLY GOOD.
Tho Number OF New Establlshments
Announced for the South Fea.
ture..A Good Market for Wool.
Iron Has Better Tone.

NEW YoRk, March 27.-R. g. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: Il
no news is good news, as concerns the
condition Of business al, this season, the
outlook ia fairly satisfactory. Trade has
been rather quiet and shesitating, as is
natural at this season and there ia rather
more complaint Of slow collections. It
has been aweek Of unhealthy fpecula-
ton in some products, owing to desper.
ate efforts Of powerful combinations
to force prices on which they can unload
without loss. Wheakfose to 81 169 on
Monday, and at 81 l5t isBtill &c higher
than a week ago, sales here having been
rs, 100000 bushels, and corn with sales
Of IS. 900 900 bushels, has risen 43c, while
oats are 1c higher.
Pork products also advanced, and
coffee and oil small fraction each. The
general average of prices reached its
highest point this year on Monday, and
though now a fraction lower, is still one
per cent above last week.
The iron market has better tone.
Rails are firm but very dull, and manu-
factured products are on the whole
weaker.
Wool is selling steadily at Boston, and
the very large consumption OF Australia
woolis surprise; 1t seems due 10 part
to the bad condition OF many western
fleeces, but in part also, to the fact that
the supply Is nearly exhausted. Carpet
factories at Philadelphia are fairly busy,
many mills buying freely, having orders
for the season.
At Boston money is easy, and trade
dull because OF the weather. Pittsburgh
notes some decline in structural iron,
blooms and billetE At Chicago dry
goods, clothing and shoes are dull,
though sales exceed last years for the
same week, and receipts Of wool are con-
increased. At other North
western points trade is fair. A note
worthy feature OF the South is the mum.
Der OF new manufacturing concerns
The business failures during the last
seven days were 256, with 275 last week
and 243 the same wetk last year.

It 10 Desirable TO Drill It Little Deeper to
Make the Final Test.
Hon. N. B. Scott and ]. O. Brady, ac-
companied by Prof. l. O. White, Geol.
ogist at the State University, visited the
wheeling Development Company's test
well up Caldwell's run yesterday. The
we'll measured 4,10S feet in depth, and 1t
had been the intention to abandon 1t at
that point.
Professor White stated, however, that
the well is now the deepest in the
State, and that he would like to see II
sunk from 260 to 800 feet deeper. His
reason for this is that at that depth is
supposed to exist the lime stone from
under which comes all the oil and gas
procured in Canada. No effort has ever
been made to tap that stratum in this
section, and ne thinks there Is a posi-.
bility OF finding something OF value under
the stone mentioned.
Messrs, Scott and Brady also feel deep
interest in the well, and an effort will
be made to have 1t sunk to the depth
mentioned by Professor White. The
drilling has now gotten to a point where
it is slow and expensive, and II 1t is con.
tinued all the stockholders in the COM
pany will have to come forward and help
bear the burden.

miners employed at the Standard Goa

struck this morning against a reduction

last night.

miners struck this morning to enforce a
demand they had made for the discharge
of the wsigh.boss. The reason they give
for this demand is novel: 1t is that the
boss always carries three revolvers when
on the ipple, and has menaced miners
often with them, and that be has already
killed two men. State President Moran,
OF the Miners Federation, isat the scene
of the trouble.
The Marmet Coal Company, whose
recent defeat In the Putnam county
Circuit Court, in an effort TO evict one
hundred and twenty discharged miners
from their tenements, will be remem-
bered, has now entered similar suit In
the United States Court, and the men

Apprehension that the FINAL Move for War

LONDON, March 27.-King Leopold
during his recent visit pressed for a
answer as to what cooperation England
would give for the defense Of Belgian
neutrality in the event Of war.
Salisbury, according to credited report
promised fleet and troops II demanded
TO defend Antwerp, leaving the Belpians
free for detensive operations in the forts
OF the Meuse.
Something occurring behind the
scenes sharpens apprehension that war
will not be loag delayed. Apart from
the concentration of troops on the
Russian.AustriRn frontiers and the Czar,s
demobBtrative friendship for Carhot, Il
is reported that an agreement has been
reached between the French and
Russians in regard to the mobilIxs-
ton OF troopa. The heads OF
the powers seem informed Of a Rus

The question Of Belgian neutrality Ia nj
timately associated with England's atii-
tude in such conflict, and 1t will be-
Salis6ury's justification Il the agreement
