THE CLOUDS BREAKING.
Dun's Weekly Trade Statement Full
OF Good TidingS.

X. q. Dun 4 Co.'S weekly review Of trade
says An Improvement has extended from the
banks TO the mills. The condition OF great
industries has distinctly nended, though still
seriously depressed. More important by far
than the rise in stocks is the fact that more
works have resumed during the week than have
stopped operation, so that the producing
force Of the country after months Of constant
decline has begun to increase. Dispatches
mention 2s textile and 80 metal works
which have resumed some only with part
force, while Is textile and nine iron works
have stopped. II is expected that most OF
the Fall River mills will start soon, the hands
asserting 10 reduced wages
The money markets are more healthy, the
premium on currency has almost vanished,
the embarrassments in domestic exchanges
have we'll nigh disappeared. and while very
little money is yet available for commercial
and industrial loans, there is some relief in
that respect also. In cotton mills resumption
Of work is quite general, the paper business
Is doing better. and several shoe factories are
starting. Shipments =. boots AMI shoes from
Boston were again I per cent, smaller for the
week than last ye IT, and in three months
there have been alb put 100000 cases against
l,050 900 last year.

HORRIBLE MURDER.
Daniel Robertson Kills His Wife at
New Bedford, Mass.

Daniel Robertson killed his wife by stabbing
her In the mouth with a caseknife at New
Bedford, Mass. few months ago Robertson
was sent to the house ofcorrection for drunk
enness. While there his wife sought di-
vo5ce, which was refused.
When Robertson was released he went to
the house to see his wife. Mrs. Robertson
refused TO admit him.
Robertson finally succeeded In forcing an
entrance. He angrily demanded that his
wife furnish him with some dinner. This
she persistent Y refused to do.
You shall give me my dinner" exclaimed
the irate man. Then the whole house, in
fact the whole neighborhood, was aroused
by two long. hear-rending cries.
This brought the daughter Helen to the
scene. With blood pouring from two wounds
Oh her forehead and cheek, her mother stood
screaming for help. over her stood Robert
son, holding his wife by the hair, and In his
uplifted hand the blood-covered knife. Miss
Robertson screamed, and grabbing her father,
made him give up the death-dealing knife.
The woman was nearly dead when found
by DR.. +. J. Fales, and she breathed her last
few minutes after she was carried up stairs.
Onlcer sullivan found the murderer in a ss-
loon and arrested him. He appeared cool
and collected, aud was apparently sober, al
though he had been drinking His right
hand, betwe en- the first finger and thumb,

Great excitement prevails in Franc

Great excitement prevails in France
owing to the discovery that, of the
twenty eight companies which own the
various submarine cables which en-
circle the globe as with an iron net,
no less than nineteen are English, and
that during the recent troubles In con-
nection with Siam the dispatches ad'
dressed to the French Government
from the far east we're read aud known
at the English Foreign Office several
hours before their delivery in Paris.
France is, in fact, entirely dependent
upon English companies for cable com
munication with her various colonial
dependencies, including even Tunis,
and actually goes so far as to grant a
State subsidy of 800, 900 per annum to
the English "African Direct Telegraph
Company" whose lines she is obliged
to use in ordor to reach her possessions
on the west coast OF Africa. OF the
twenty.eight cable companies only two
are French, one Danish, three North
American and three South American.
Indeed, of the 125, 900 miles OF sub
marine cable which constitute the sub
marine telegraphic system of the world
more than three-quarters are in the
hands of the English, who are placed
thereby in a singularly advantageous
position with respect to other nation

Husbands Face.

Mrs. Rose Douglass threw dipper full Of
oil Of vitriOl In the face Of her husband Hugh
Douglass, at Manchester, N. H., and then fed

The couple have lived unhappily for some

wife. and claiming the custody Of the two
small children.
Mrs Douglass has recently been driven
from the house Of her mother, and she says
she has had to sleep in cellars for the past

A HISTORIC EVENT.
Birth of President Cleveland's
Child in the White House.
The Executive Disappointed When He
Learned II Was a Girl.

President Grover Cleveland has been made
a father for the second time. The new baby,
like its predecessor, is girl. Mrs. Cleveland
and her daughter are reported TO be doing
well, and the attending physician is well sat
isned with the strength and cheerfulness
which she has displayed.
The day will hrnceforth be a historic one
in American history. Although the United
States have been in existence a. q natl on for
more than 100 years no child Of a president
had ever before been born In the white house.
There have been children born III the his
toric old pile, but they were not children Of
the executive. There il seeming fitness

in the white house should also be the lrst

had notified the president the night previous
that the event 10 which both he and his wife had
been looking forward to for some months
would be likely to take place and In anticipa-
ton Of it he advised the president that the
gates leading through the grounds In the eG-
ecutive mansion should be closed So as to en-
sure its mistress absolute privacy and quiet
ness
The desire Of every one connected with the
president was 10 maintain absolute s"crrsy
about the birth Of the child until Secresy was
no longer desirable or necessary. The plan
succeeded admirably. II was not until two
hours after the little stranger had been
ushered into the world that Washington knew
Of her arrival
There is much curiosity as to the name
that will be given 10 the baby, which will
probably not be gratined until the baby is
llptised. II is believed that only two OF the
children hitherto horn in the White House are
now living One Ia Mrs. Mary Emily Dom
elson-WilcoX, a daughter Of Andrew Dom
elson, nephew Of President Jackson, and
the private secretary and confidential
advisor Of "Old Hickory during his entire
official life. and the other is Julia Dent
Grant, the lret child horn to Col. and MIS-.
Fred Grant and now young lady, just past
sweet sixteen. Mr.. and Mrs Donoison had
two other children born i'll the White House,

MEDICAL AID SENT SOUTH.
Marine Hospital Officers on Their
Way to South Carolina.

Col. Elliot member Of Congress from Beau

vising surgeon general OF the Marine hospi-

of the condition of affairs in that part Of the
country that promptly secured the aid Of that
department and the cooperation Of the presi-
dent.
Mr.. Elliot brought with him letter from
DR.. Peters, one of the resident physicians who
examined the country in the neighborhood
OF Beaufort, and had said that unless the hos
pita service took prompt action there was
imminent danger Of an outbreak that might
spread disease and pestilence throughout the
land.
The whole coast WAS spread with debris
and the dead bodies Of animals. Col Elliot

Mr.. Cook is led to the conclusion
that germ feed has about the same feed
ing value as mixture of equal parts
BY weight of wheat bran and corn meal /;
that sugar meal and cream gluten meal
both have higher feeding value than
the above, and that these latter also
have slight effect on the richness OF
the milk.
Finally, it should be remembered
that this is but slight series of trials
and that the work needs to be repeated
several times before sure conclusion
can be drawn.
1t is necessary here to utter a word
OF caution in regard to the use of these
concentrated feeds, sugar meal and
especially cream gluten meal. They
are both exceedingly rich concentrated
feeds, and like cottonseed meal should
be fed sparingly. Three or four pounds
a day OF sugar meal per COW is as much
as 1T is safe to give, while with cream
gluten meal the limit of two pounds
per day per COW should not be exceed

BREEDING OFF THE HORNS.

1t is futile hope to expect to
breed hornless cattle by the practice
OF dishorning. There have been in
stances in which an artificial peculiar.
1ty IN the animal has become inherited.
but this is exceedingly rare and is moi
TO be taken as rule for breeders.
Lambs have been locked for centuries.
but they still come into the world with
long tails. The only satisfactory way
to have a herd of pooled cattle is to
use polled bull, and this, being in
conformity to the natural laws OF
breeding, may be depended on in time
to fix this character on the progeny.
It may not be fully effective in the
first generation or in several, but ex.
perience has shown that in time the
character of the sires will be fixed on
the progeny in the end. For dairy
cattle the polled red Norfork will
make good hornless sire. The
Scotch Aberdeen cattle are sometimes
excellent dairy animals. New York
