VILE PLOT F0ILED.
BOLD ATTEMPT TO WRECK A PAS
SENGER TRAIN
by Would-be Robbers--The Engineer
Warned by Burned Handkerchief
That Rail Was Gone,

PORTLAND, Or, April IAN attempt
was made TO wreck the northbound pas
senger train on the Southern Pacific road
About 0 o'clock George T.. Richardson, a
aborer, started from Drain TO Roseburg
on foot. At the end of a trestle short
distance from Drain he found a rail taken
from the track. While he was considering
what he should do five men appeared on
the trestle and one of them attacked him,
beating and cutting him severely. An
other struck him on the hesd with re-
volver, cutting his head and knocking him
senseless.
Then they pushed him off the bridge, %
feet below, where he lay unconscious for
over an hour. He crawled out of the
gulch, made his way slowly down the
track and met the overland train at l:26
o'clock in the morning. Setting fire to his
handkerchief, he waved il as signal, and
the train stopped.
The trainmen picked up Richardson In a
very exhausted condition. He told his
story, and they went ahead and found the
rail gone. Had the train been wrecked at
that point the result would have been dis
astrous. The passengers made up a purse
Of 500 for Richardson.
Many believe the wreckers' purpose was
not robbery, but revenge on the railroad
company for the discharge of white section
hands and the employing of Japanese.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Some Interesting Figures From Dun q
Co.'S Weekly.

Co.'S Weekly.
New YORK, April 1.--R. G. Dun e. Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: The fact of
largest influence in the record OF the past
week has been the increased distribu tion
Of goods, which appear with better weather
ut nearly all points. The streng thening
effect is already felt in some wholesale
trades, and even in some manufacturers.
Building materials, structural and steel,
paints and glass are helped, as well as
many forms of textile and leather pro-
ducts. Collections already improve at
many points, though still generally be-
hind.
While imports greatly exceed exports, IL
is not safe to calculate that outgoes of gold
will not again disturb confidence. Hence
the break in important speculations has
its hopeful side. Instead of rising, after
the close of the Lancashire strike, cotton
fell 3-S, which may accelerate exports,
though stocks of American cotton in
Europe are still third larger than usual
at this season. Exports in four weeks at
New York have been S5,1l5, 600 less than
last year, indicating total for the month
not far from 10000, 900, while the increase
I'm imports at New York has been about
ell,000,0o0, indicating the total for the
month more than S97, 900 600 This great
excess In imports, following the excess of
5000, 900 In January and February, is the
bases of doubts about the immediate mon
etary future.
Trade in cottons has improved, though
print cloths are is lower and ginghams
further reduced, but knit goods dealers
are jubilant.
Business In woolen dress goods is very
large, with every appearance of stability.
Flannels have advanced and sackings are
remarkably strong; but ia mems goods,
while sales have been very heavy, there Is
some fear of local cancellations as the re-
suit of the strike in clothing works.
Sales of wool have again increased, exceed
ing last years. for the week, though the
markets are nearly bare
The strength in the shoe trade IL un-
abated, eastern shipments greatly exceed
ing those of any previous year. Coal
Is naturally weak. Shoes are firm and
leather very strong, and lumber has i'm
proved.
Philadelphia notes large trade in dress
goods, notions and. millinery; increasing
demand for paints and glass and for
fruits, with other business steady. Chicago
reports increased over last year in trade
for the quarter, especially in dry goods,
and clothing.
