New YORK, Feb. Brsdstreet's
to morrow will say: Features of the
week in trade circles include check to
transportation by rail of grain, other
produce merchandise throughout por-
tions of the central and western states
and in the northwest, an unprecedented
clearing out of old stocks of winter
goods by interior merchants west, check
in demand for wool and rapid develop
ment of gulf ports as exporters of wheat
Unfavorsble We ather and bad roads have
had an effect in checking collections
somewhat south as well rs the distribu-
ton of staples This is conspicuous in
Texas and central southern states. There
is good, active demand for leaf tobacco at
Richmond and orders for manufactured
grades are being received there more
freely, General trade at Nashville is
active, that in hardware, and car
riages and buggies notably So.
There Is less dating ahead throughout
the region tributary to this center aud
IN increased disposition to discount pa
! per- Some improvement is reported
from Memphis in the movement of gro
/ ceres and plantation supplies. Orders
are plentiful in most lines at Charleston,
| but the larger sales to interior mercha1 ITS
are said to be On long time, while groce
ries and provisions are dull. At Atlantis
there is considerable activity in sales oi
dry goods and shoes. At Birmingham
Ala, the volume of business nearl,
equsled the average for the season, while
trade at New Orleans has increased anC
it is expected to extend further after tn
carnival. Grain exports from that por
are becoming more of feature, but su

this season. There is also good expor
demand for flour and wheat from Calves

ASYLUM BURN ED.
Forty-four Inmates Lose Their Lives
Horrible Scenes.

DovER, n II. Feb 10 Last night
the IN sane asylum of Stafford county
workhouse, about four miles out of the
city, was entirely destroyed by fire and
forty four of the inmates were burned to
death. The building was a wooden af-
fair, 130 by 35 feet in dimensions and
burned like finder, and only four in
mates-Rose Saborn, Jas. DALEY. Frank
Dauchame and William Twombly sur
vive. In making his rounds shortly after
10 o'clock, Wstchman Chesley discovered
the fire. He at once gave alarm and
William P. Driscoll, keeper, and attend
ants, rushed through the inmates quar-
ters which were mainly on the second
floor. and burs. locks to the cells and
tried to spprise the inmates of their dan
ger. The fire had gained rapid head
way, and ma jority of the inmates We're
so confused they retarded the escape Of
others, aud the scene was one beyond
description and hesrtrending to witness.
Keeper Driscoll used every possible ef
fort to liberate the inmates remaining in
he building till obliged to jump from
second story window in order to save
himself. The messenger at once dis
patched to the city for assistance and the
police department was sent to the scene,
Dut before assistance arrived the build
remained but smouldering ruins. BY
efforts of the fremen the main building
Of the institution was saved. Those who
arrived on the scene early will never for
ret the horrible scenes witnessed. Fire
brightly illuminated the country for
miles around, and poor unfortuna ates
could plainly be seen as they writheo
and turn ID about in the blazing furnace.
Fire was first discovered in cell occu
pied by a woman named LaFomian aud
vas very small, but the watchman Chesley
states that it spread with rspidity tina.
vas astonishing and before he had given
alarm to keeper this cell had gained sucf
hsadwsy, that the only thing left to be
| done was to attempt to rescue inmates
Two broke locks of fifty cells and ther
| Chesly got out his wife and two chill
dren, who lived in the building. The
| fire extended TO the main building o.
the county farm, which occupied b,
over 1000 of the county's poor. Super
intendant De Merritt at once organized
fire brigade of those people and through
their heroic efforts subducd the fire. On
of the famale inmates of the asylum
jumped from the burning building t
the yard below but unable to escape
owing to the high fence that sourround
ed that portion of the building AM
shared fate of others. The buildin,
was erected 90 years ago. Cost $40, ,00O
How the fire caught is a mystery, no on

Commercial Review.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-R G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say
1.-TWO important events, the defeat of the
anti silver legislation in the senate and
house and the concerted deposit of gold
by the New York banks in the treasury
in exchange for legal tenders have had
directly opposing but powerful influence
u oon the markets, and it is yet too early
to determine what the net result
may be, confidence manifested by the
banks strengthened markets on Thurs
day, but the defeat of silver legisl alton
in the house caused renewed discourage
ment and apprehension. 1t is not by all
realized that gold reserve of 100, 900, 900
not to be used except for protection of
note circulation and was expressly in
tended to be used for that purpose, and
as far as it is so used the notes go into
the treasury in place of the gold taken
out The banks, by placing the gold
| they do not need in the treasury instead
of notes to the extent of SIS, 800, 900 this
week, reasonably hope that their coofi-
dence may lessen the disposition to with
draw gold. In other respects the state
of trade is satisfactory, except that
severe storms and cold have much inter
fered with trade, collections and trans
portation during the week, especially
west. Southern and western trade al
Baltimore is greater than last year in
dry-goods, millinery notions and shoes
Pittsburg iron is in poor demand. Busi
ness at Louisville is full average witt
sales of leaf tobacco very large and a
Little Rock fair with improving coliec-
tions. At other points in south trad'
is noticeably improving, especially il
dry goods and groceries and at New Or

trio street car strike assumed its most
serious psese to day when two riots Oc-
Cured between the strikers and the men
in chargs of the barns In South Wheel
ing. Disturbances outdid anything Of
the sort ever occurring in this city or
even in this portion of the state. Two
men were seriously and one of them
probably fatally hurt. VIM. Newton,
chief electrician of the compsny, and
Henry Hartman, are the injured men.
VIM Tucker, foreman of the barn, was
alsl hurt to some extent. The first fight
occurred at o'clock this morning when
Hartman was badly used up. The sec
ond fight occurred shortly afterwards,
| when Newton was struck by a brick on
one side of his head. The strike seems
to be broken TO night. A number o.
strikers have applied for their old places
Very few cars were run 10 day.

THE ANTI-OPTION BILL AND
OTHER MATTERS
To be Brought Up for Discussion and
yOte-The Appropriation Bills
Are Getting Out OF the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-The anti
option bill has been only sleeping dur
ing the last few days, while the appro.
priation and silver bills were alb
sorbing the interest of the house,
but now that the latter has
been shelved and the appropria-
ton bilia are getting out of the way
anti-options will be brought to the
front. 1t is probable that Ar Hatch
will make move in behalf of his pet
measure some time next week As soon
as the appropriations bill are out of the
way the house will have some time on
it's hands There are number of re
quests for special orders pressing on
rules committee Mr. Hatch is after
special order for agricultural committee
He wants three days which is more time
than he likely to get at this stage of the
session. Hatch wants to pass the pure
food and other bills in addition to the
a1ti-option bill When he gets special
order an effort will be made to press
the anti-options bill under it. There
are indications that Hatch is getting
into fashion in parliamentary circles and
will endeavor to have cloture put on as
part of the special order reported by
rules committee. Whether or not he
will be more successful than anti-silver
men remains to be seen but his bill on
test vote is stronger than either
| side to the silver question, and the
| friends may be willing to take cloture on
it regardless of how they voted on clio
ture as applied to other measures.
General discussion of annual appro-
priation bill is usually pro forma pro
ceeding 1t was supposed however,
that when the pension bill came up in
the house to-day, there would be break
in,the dull routine, but there was not Mr..
Mitchell, OF Pennsylvania, who had charge
Of the bill, made two hours speech which
though bristling with statistics and de
ivered in his natural, courteous manner
did not attract close attention. Mr.
Grout, of Vermont, also spoke witt
great earnestness against the proposed
revision of the pension laws, but he alst
failed in securing attention of the house
Mr.. Tarsney, of Missouri, who is one o
great stamp orators of the house failed t
do himself justice when he read hi
speech. Mckinney, Of New Hampshire
who is said to be on the slate as com
missioner of pensions, was also powerles
to secure a silent audience. O'Neili, o
Massachusetts,, was in no better situa
ton. In fact, the bill, which carrie
more than S166, 900, 900, was considere,
as though ii carried no more than 16
cents. Without closing the debate tn
committee rose and the house at o'cloc
took recess till o'clock, the evenin
session to be for the consideration {
private pension bills.

The railroad car automatic coupler bill
was taken up. Debate was not enliven-
| ing as interesting, and even Mr.. Cullom,
| who is in charge of the bill, indicated
general WEAKNESS of the senate over the
discussion by appealing to Mcpherson
who had offered an amendment TO let the
bill pass in its present shape, on assur
ance that it would be carefully consid
cred in conference and made as near J
unobjectionable as possible.
The proposal was not accepted and the
discussion went on. Finally vote Wa
about to be taken on the passage of th'
