the Month of August.
MONTICELLO, June 22.-Judge Ed.
wards today sentenced Lizzie Halliday
to be electocuted in the week beginning
Monday, Aug 6.
Mrs, Halliday slept the sleep of the
just and innocent last night. She ate
4 hearty supper. Her pulse, which
was 144 Wednesday morning, had
dropped to rs
When she awoks soon after daylight,
young Beeeher and another deputy who
had remained in the cell over night
asked her how she felt. She would
make no reply. She stood and looked
ut the floor for a long time, and seemed
wrapped in thought.
Court opened at $50, the room being
filled with men and women. Lizzie
came in with Sheriff Bsecher with the
same measured step. the same downcast
eyes and the same exhibition of stupid
ity. She was pushed down into her
chair, where she began the same &C.
tions carried on during the trial. She
covered her face to her eyes with he,
handkerchief and rubbed her nose and
stroked her chin. Judge Edwards was
eighteen minutes in.
While he was looking over the cod
Lizzie attempted to rise, but was forced
down Into her chair. District Attorney
Hill moved that sentence be passed

then held her up. The usual questions
were put to her, but she answered none

with her heel once or twice, but at NJ
time raised her head.
She was closely watched by DR.. Ed
ward G. Mann, the professional witness
whose testimony did so much to convie
her. and he even seemed nonplusssd a
her behavior.
Judge Edwards spoke in low, mea.
sured tones in imposing sentence. Mr..
Carpenter responded to the judges in.

WEEKLY review OF TRADE.
r. G, Dunn & Co. Report That the
Improvement Continues Solely
In Decrease of Failure.

New YORK, June OR. G. Dun G.
Coz weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow: The.week hasabeen rich in
promise but poor in performance. 1t
was confidently promised that exports
Of gold would cease, but they have not.
1t was promised that the end of the
coal strike would bring immediate re-
covery OF industries, but partial re-
sumption of work discloses compare
tive scantiness of demand for products,
while the miners Of Ohio in convention
have repudiated the settlement and
continue the strike, and in many local.
ties it fingers. and above all the coke
workers strike blocks most of the iron
manufacture in the central region, less
than quarter of the coke ovens being
yet at work.
1t was believed that late changes in
the tariff bill would be more satisfac-
tory to industries, but the new sched-
ules have not yet diminished hesita-
tion. The exports of gold have been
81, 750 600 during the week. The fosd
of money from the interior, amounting
to about 500. 600 for the first half Of
1894 continues to show the greatly re-
duced demand for funds, and at the
same time heavy liquidations in re-or-
ganizing railroads, especially by for
eign holders, have operated as a mng-
net to draw abroad the unused coin of
the country. The treasury gold re-
serve is reduced lower than it was at
any time in January and government
proposed to ship legal tenders to in =
terror points against deposits of gold in
the treasury at rates which virtually
constitute premium ON gold.
1t was confidently expected that the
settlement of the tariff rates on textiles
by the senate would improve the condi.
tiou of textile manufacturers, but there
is scarcely any evidence Of such re-
suit as yet. the large sales of cotton be.
ing distinctly traceable to mere wealth.
or conditions and to further conce,.
sions by sellers. Wool is less active
and rather weaker. with sales equal to
about last year Tor the same week last
year.
There is much disappointment that
tho partial termination of the coal
strike does not promptly enlarge the
demand for iron and steel products,
which is evidently too narrow, as yet
to support much increase of produc-
tion. Western orders are compara-
lively liberal, though much smaller
than in other years, but no improve
ment is seen at Philadelphia. while il
the central region the continuing
coke strike strike and grave uncertainty
about the July settlement of iron work
ers' wages causes much hesitation
The shoe industry appears to fare bet
ter than others in quantity Of produc
tion, though mainly in the low priced
goods, for which most Of the manufac
turers have orders reaching we'll int
the future, while the medium good.
are greatly neglected.
The volume Of domestic trade, mea.
sured by clsarings, shows noimportan
change. Compared with 1892 the de
crease is 1873 per cent, outside of New
York and 24.4 per cent. at all points
The improvement continues in fsilur
returns. which were 214 in the Unite,
States against 273 last year, aud 25 il
Canada against IA last year.

Superintendent Graham might have
concurred in this request had it been
the only made from councilma anic

broadly intimates that were he to lift
the veil on all the overtures made to
him from various person occupying OF =
fetal or semi-oflicial posiIions in the
government of Pittstou, there would
be disclosed a spectacle of voracious-
ness almost paralleIing the findings of
the Lsxow committee in New York.
President Mangan admits having
asked for three passes. at the request
of friends; but denies having done any q.
thing worse than that. aud evidently
does not regard that request as consti
tuting heinous crime.
What makes Superintendent Ora

Senator Allison, that the United States
arrange by treaty with Great Britain

The Chronicle praises the resolution.

these wishes will be realized"
The Telegraph's leader has the same
friendly tone. William Walter Astor's

UNIoNTowN, June 90 - The trial Of

evictions of families Of strikers have
abandoned all their camps and offer
practically no opposition to those who

1t is thought that should today's con-

that the big breaks will occur at once
in the ranks of the strikers, many of
whom are in desperate circumstances
and are thoroughly whipped by the
long continued siege Of starvation and
destitution. The first Of next week ia
looked upon as tho time when the big
