General Feeling of Uneasiness In All
Branches of Business.
r. G. Dun s. Con'pany's weekly review Of
trade says:
While industry and business were inn
proving daily, and prospects were brighter
than ever, the sudden alarm about cholera
came to cause some hesitation. 1t is even
said that buyers from the South who had
started for New York turned back because
they were afraid of detention by quaran-
tine there. There is reason for the utmost
precaution against importation OF the dis
ease, which national and city authorities
are taking with creditable energy. But
there is yet no ground for supposng that
the pestilence will obtain n foothold hero
this season. In all other respects business
prospects are better than year ago, and
nearly all accounts showed actual increase
In business Crop prospects are better,
money is I'm greater demand but ample
supply everywhere and industries are pro-
duciug more than ever before. Fear that
exports may be curtaile6 by pestilence In
Europe, with causes previously strong has
depressed the markets.

AFTER A CoALING STATION.
Minister Durham Negotiating for the
Purchase of SANTANA Bay.

Purchase of SANTANA Bay.
The Kearsarge. which was ordered to
Honduras on account OF the revolution
there has had her orders changed. The
War Department has been advised that the
troubles are over for the present In that
little republic, and that there is nothing
to require her presence there. She has been
ordered instead to proceed from Port-au-
Prince to San Domingo and thence to
La Guayra. Venezuela. So far as the
Navy Department is advised she is TO make
this trip for the purpose OF conveying Min
lister Durham on his usual semi- occasional
visits OF inspection TO San Domingo. 1t Is
rumored, however, that the present move
ment of Minister Durham to San Domingo
Is more than OF usual Importance 1t is
said that he is going there to close negotia-
tions for tho purchase OF SANTANA Bay as q
coaling station. The President, 1t will be
remembered, has at his disposal s25, 900 for
procuring coaliny stations and IL is thought
not unlikely that part OF this sum may
be expended on SANTANA Bay and the re-
mainder on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

TAFT HALL HANGED.
His Friends Make No Attempt to Save
Him from tho GalIOws.

Him from the Gallows.
Talt Hall, the Kentucky murderer. was
safely hanged at Wise Court House, Va,
at noon Friday. There were fears OF an
attempt at rescuH, but none was made.
The murderer, who had been kept constantly
under the influence OF liquor during the
last few days, made a speech on the scat
fold The drop fell at 2:34 p. m, and life
was pronounced extinct seventeen minutes
later His neck was broken by the fall
Sensational correspondents have credited
Hall with ninety mine murders, but Of
course this Is an eXaggeration. His record
IS bloody enough, however He himself
admits that the number will reach five, not
counting the men he killed during the war
The particular crime for which Hall was
sentenced was the shooting OF Special Po-
liceman Enos b. Hylton, at Norton, Va.
Hylton was taking prisoner to jail. when
Hall demanded that he release the man,
and upon the officers refusal shot him in
cold blood Hall had eloped with Hylton's
sister after numbering her husband, and
Hylton is said to have sworn TO kill the
man who murdered his brother in law, and
It Is pretty certain that Hall heard OF il
and took advantage OF the fact OF Hylton
