failure OF the manufacturers to attend,

THE VOLUME OF TRADE.
eradstreet's Report is Very En-.
couraging This Week.

New YORK, Aug. 24.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: Serious industrial dis
turbances in New England, drought in
central and far Western States, curtail-
ing nearly all staple crops. and dispog
ition in all lines to continue to buy TO-
nearby wants only, fail to greatly in
duence general trade throughout the
country, the trend Of which is toward
further improvement. Northwestern
States east of the Missouri and the AT
lantic and gulf coast Southern States re-
port relatively greater gains in volume
Of traffic, and in the spread Of that bet
ter feeling and confidence in larger
volume OF business in the fall on which
improvement in business depends.
Prominent among evidences Of ex
pansion in general trade is this weeks
bank clearings totals. $500, 900, 600. a
gain over last week of about per cent,
and over the like total one year ago
when clesrings got down to about Low
water mark, the increase is 90 per cent.
But compared with the total in the like
week two years ago this weeks aggre--
gate clearings show q decrease Of 18 per
cent.
1t is also worth nothing as sign Of
the business movement that every city's
clearings total for the week is larger
than year ago except one. Gains In
clearings at whiskey markets, Louis
Vile, Cincinnati, Paris and Lexington,
have naturally been expanded extra
ordinarily. The greatest apparent in
crease in volume of business during
the week is at st. Louis, Baltimore,
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis and San
Francisco. At larger eastern cities
there is evidence of an increase that
will bring largely augmented demand
in nearly all staples lines.
Trade at Southern cities betrays no
change within q week in volume Of
transactions or demand, business on the
whole being relatively better than in
some other portions of the country.
There is better request for lumber at
Charleston, for hardware and machinery
whiskey at Nashville Prospective
slim ulate trade in all staple lines.
Jobbers at Birmin9 ham, Ala, report q
heavier August trade so tar than year

is expected to help business generally.

been damaged by excessive rains. At

TWO OFFICERS SHOT.
Desperate Fight with AIoonshIner Near
Blueleld.

WASHINGTON, Aug. pa special to
the Post from Bluefeld, w. Va, says:
desperate fight occurred here this
afternoon between Vinson Shrader, a
moonshiner. and posse of officers.
AS result, Chief of Police R. H.
Baldwin and Deputy Marshal Brown
are lying at the point of death and
Shrader will probably be lynched be-
fore morning Shrader is Tazewell
county outlaw and yesterday wounded
constable who tried to arrest him at
Graham.
After that he took TO the woods
about twenty miles from B!uefield.
Chief OF Police Baldwin learned OF his
whereabouts to-day and started out to
capture him. He was accompanied by
Deputy Marshal Allen Brown and VIM.
G. Baldwin, the noted detective, who is
BROTHER of the Bluefleld chief.
The posse found Shrader's hiding
place shortly before dark. They ex-
pected to take him by surprise, but as
they stealthily approached he opened
fire with Winchester. The officers
then opened on the moonshiner and q
fusilade followed.
The chief was shot through the stom-
ach and Deputy Brown through the
groin. Detective Baldwin escaped in
jury, and succeeded in arresting Shrader.
The wounded man and the prisoner were
brought to Bluefield.
There is intense excitement here, and
an immense crowd has gathered.
Threats OF lynching Shrader in case
either officer dies are freely made.

Stick Work of Violet and KAN.

RICHMOND, Aug. 24.-Again did the
Crows demonstrate their ability to win
games by clean stick work. Although
Roanoke presented Boyd and Sheehan
as their battery, the score balanced Il o
3 to Z in favor of the homo team at
the end of the contest.
There were but seven errors made
altogether, four by tho visitors and
three by the home team. 1t was simply
an instance of superior batting and
punching OF hits that gave the local men
the victory.
Only about 1000 people were present,
and they were about the most quiet
1000 rooters who have ever been at the
West End Park. The reason was be-
cause after the fourth inning the
visl 'rs were out of the game.
The Mushrooms had these double
plays to their credit, beside making
several other worthy efforts. Morgan,
an ex member of the Crows, appeared
In left field for the visitors. He did
some good stick work and scored twice,
but made two errors on ground balls.

Conference on the Tariff Bill,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The case Of
OF the colored recorder OF the District
of Columbia, G. IL. TAYLOR, who has
been charged before the civil service
commission with sending circulars to
colored employees of the Govern m. Mt
soliciting contributions for campaign
purposes, was laid before Presiden
Cleveland this afternoon by Civil Ser
vice Commissioner Proctor, who has had
charge OF the matter. The report made
in the case by the commission is a short
one, but the testimony taken makes q
very bulky document.
Beside Taylor twenty five witnesses
Wer examined. Some Of these witnesses
were at first afraid to testify, fearing
they would lose their positions il they
aid 80. The commission could not
guarantee to the men that thew would
not be discharged from their Govern
ment positions IL they made statements
rejecting upon Taylor, because it had no
power to do SO, but they were informed
that the com mission would exert it's in
fiuence to prevent the dismissal of any
employe who appeared before 1t as q
witness.
Mr.. Proctor declined to say what the
findings of the commission were, but 1t
was evident that something serious had
been found in the charges or the matter
would. not have been laid before the
President for action.

Tariff Bill Conference
Secretary Carlisle, aud Attorney Gen.
eral Olney were closeted until 6 O'Clock
at the Department of Justice studying
over tho hard knot in the tariff bill,
with view to Secretary Carlise's issu-
ing circular letter of instructions to
collectors OF customs explaining its
doubtful schedules, and the hidden
meaning OF wrongly punctuated para.
graphs.
Secretary Carlisle is es oecially anx.
ious to find some law OF construction by
which he can admit goods which, under
tho present laws, are dutiable now in
bond, but which become free under the
new tariff law into the United States,
free OF duty without subjecting the
owners to tho expense OF exporting
them and then reimporting tn en-.
The Government would gain nothing
by deciding that the duties had to be
paid. under the Mckinley bill, as the
goods so placed on the free list could be
exported and reimported and the owners
would have to pay the expenses. This
point was discussed with Attorney GEN.
eral Olney at length this afternoon and
their decision in the matter will prob
ably be hrst announced in the circular
letter to collectors Of customs which
Secretary Carlisle will soon issue.

lie was excluded from the chamber dur.
ing all but four minutes of the session.
the remainder OF the time being spent
behind closed doors.
There was no test as to whether or
not quorum OF Senators was actually
present, and, in fact, matters were so
arranged in advance. by mutual agree.
ment, that the question did not arise.
The matters discussed in secret session
were not exclusively of an executive
character. On the contrary eight or ten
bills (three Of them being bridge bills)
were taken from tho calendar and
passed, and the concurrent resolution,
Tor the final adjournment OF Congress on
tuesday next az p. M, was laid before
the Senate, and was passed without

until Monday.

The House passed joint resolution
to-day providing for adjournment of
the present session of Congress at 9
o'clock in the afternoon Of Tueseay,
August %. Another effort was made,
also unsuccessful, to consider the Hill
bill for the exclusion and deportation
OF alien anarchists. An amendment
had been agreed upon by the advo-
Gates OF the measure and those mem-
bers who had previously antagonized
1t, defining an anarchist to be a person
who advocates the destruction by
force OF all governments or the Gov
ernment Of the United States. This
satisfied the objections heretofore made
but Mr.. English (Dem., N. j. entered

Notes.

The baseball game, played by tele.
graph in the storeroom formerly occu
pied by DuggaD 81 Sauter, on Jefferson
street, has become very popular with
the cranks, and the attendance is in
creasing each day. Every play made by
the Roanoke and Richmond teams is
displayed on bulletin board, and it is
almost as interesting as watching the
real game. Seats are provided for all
who attend, and there will, no doubt,
be 8 large crowd present this afternoon.
Mccoy and Nevins will probably be the
opposing pitchers.
Thompson, third baseman OF the
Hagerstown club, yesterday received o

club also wanted to engage him for the
remainder OF the season He refused
both offers and will stay with the Hs-
