OF New York IS none the less para

Her great city is the fe-giving heart
OF the democratic party. Her electoral

Dun,s Weakly Rax,.w.

Auub weekly Review
r. G. Dun &aCo.'s Weekly Rcrtc,p of
Trade says: The business outlook is
distinctly improving. There has come
a distinct increase in the marketing of
manufactured products and greater
activity IN MANY lines of domestic trade.
This is in part due to more favorable
weather in mo sections end the i'm.
proved conditions of country roads and
to the prospects of an early spring.
The manufacturers are doing we'll.
Probably the cotton manufacturers have
not turned out as great IL quantity of
goods at any other time as they have
this year thus far, with less accumula-
tion OF their products in the hands of
manufacturers or wholesale dealers.
The distribution has been remarkably
large and tho result of trade generally
satisfactory, as prices for material has
been declining while goods, though on
the whole are as cheap us ut any other
time, are fairly maintained in prices.
The wooden manufacture also shows
distinct improvement in some branches,
though not in carpets, nor in the lower
grades or mixed goods for mems wear.
The better all wool goods. worsted and
dress goods are more largely produced
than in the past years. and no undesira-
BILE accumulation is seen. The boot
and shoe business is also increasing
and accumulativc, shipments now en-
ceeding last years and orders being
large.

dence OF deliberate fraud in the recent
Democratic primaries was discovered
by the committee of seven to have been
committed by the Foster faction in the
Sabine Parish. 1t was shown by COM
pairing the triplicate returns THAT the
Foster commissioners had added one
hundred fraudulent votes to the forty
two actually pollcd. 1t was in Sabine
Parish that the Foster contingent de-
stroycd McEncry presses and ordered
certain McEnery followers out of the
parish. In the 100 fraudulent votes
added to the poll list were the names of
absent McEnery poll commissioners
who were intimidated. and u number of
Republican negroes. The committee

adds: "1t seems to be true that each

IN THE EAST.

PHILADELPHIA. special: Since the
sugar trust absorbed the reiinerics of
Harrison Frazier & Co., l.. c. Knight&
Co.. and Claus Speckles, thus acquiring
control of all the retincries in the coun-
try. the Wholesale grocers, g brok-
ers and other classes of business men
have been contemplating steps to arrest
the threatened monopoly, and have pre-
pared i; bill for the repeal OF the duty
OF l. cent per pound on refined grades
OF sugars, which they claim serves only
the purpose of allowing the trust to
control absolutely the refining trade of
this country. The draft of the bill it is
understood has already been prepared
by Samuel Cuisine Thompson, on emil
ncnt lawyer of this city and friend of
ex-Prcsident Cleveland. MIR. Thompson
has been recently living with Mr.. Cleve-
land at Lakewood and this has given
rise to the impression that the bill has
been favored by Mr.. Cleveland with the
idea OF forcing the Republican party
into an attitude of defending a monop-
oily if they resist the passage of the bill.
Since the combination acquired control
of the three retincrics named the price
of refined sugars in this city has adj
vanced y cent per pound. Atthe same
time raw sugar has declined from the
FAC that there is but one buyer--the
trust. The bill will be sent to WASH
ington. Mr.. Thompson declined to say
who would offer IL, but it is believed
that it will be either Mcmillan or
Springer.
Nfw YORK special: Judge Pratt of
the suprde Court of Brooklyn, has
handed Down a decision granting Mrs.
Chariot Louise Bolton an absolute di-
vorce from Vim. c. Bolton. This case
attracted considerable attention last
September when Mrs. Bolton secured
her husbands arrest on u charge of
bigamy ssand abandonment. These
charges fell through, and then Mrs.
Bolton sued for divorce. and the legal
ity Of Il divorce obtained by her hus-
band in Sioux Falls. S. d., was brought

n alleges that after he had obtained
that divorce he was free to marry Miss

The precise population of New Eng.

for the purpose Of war, 1t may be said
that the forces on one side ard on the

those days was but IN inefficient weapon

1t seems certain that In Europe flint
locks had been introduced before this
time; but the Puritans still relied on the
matchbox. The form Of this can be
readily explained to any person who has
seen the old afntlock Of the present
century. A hammer good deal
larger than the hammer which after
ward held the flint, but quite like IT,
had q screw which frightened or loosen

Each soldier was obliged to carry
when the battle began he lighted the
piece of this match which was fixed in
the hammer of the gun. A pan which
held powder. exactly as the pan of q
ffntlock afterward did, was in front Of
the hammer, with o projecting
from which a sort o. a horn ran up 9
ly vertical, to be opened by the hammer
when the soldier pulled the trigger.
The fire of the match then communi.
