After the interior of the building had
been partially burned out it became ap-

in danger of falling, but Fire Chief Elliott

FINANCE And TRADE.
The Return to Natural Conditions
Comes Slowly.
CONTINUED PROGRESS PREDICTED.


sumption-The Demand for Money Has
Increased East and West.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Bradstreet's review
of trade says: While no radical change
has appeared this week there are features
OF the situation pointing to continued
progress in the direction of Improvement.
| This is true of the country at large. Thus,
in eastern and middle states, while the
larger cities do not report noteworthy
changes, Providence announces that all
industrial lines. notably manufacturing
| jewelers., have received liberal orders,
with the exception of manufacturers of
machinery. Baltimore, too, reports larger
| sales in few directions. In the west cor
| responding reports come from Omaha,
where better feeling is reported through
out the tributary region. Duluth also
finds business improved, and St. Louis
anu Kansas City report stimulation in
wholesale as well as retail lines.
From the south the most favorable re-
| port comes fromJacksonyille, wherewhole-
sale trade is good aud retail trade i'm
| proving. Merchandise is moving satis-
factorily from Savannah, and from
| Charleston and Chattanooga. The pre-
viously reported large volume of business
OF Chicago jobbers is maintained. At q
number of points east and west demand
| for money has increased, and changes in
the character of merchantile collections,
as rule, are in the direction of improve
| ment.
The price movement has improved lit
| tie Wheat, corn and oats have advanced
| from previous lowest levels. Some varie-
ties of lumber, naval stores, tin plate and
few other staples have remained steady
In price, but refined sugar is lower for
i,.I,
to those governing prices in other lines.
| Concessions in prices have also been made
for pig iron, steel billets, lumber, lard,
coffee, cotton, print cloths and live hogs.
| Dun's review says: With the chief
money crops of the west and south sink
| ing i'll value, it is not strange that pur-
1 chhses of manufactured products are
| smaller than was expected. Wheat has
| touched the lowest point ever known for
| options, and cotton the lowest ever known
in any form with the present classifica-
| tion, and the accumulation of stocks in
| both products is discouragiug to pur-
chascrs for au advance. Producers are
compelled to sell at prices below the or
dinary cost of raising crops and in some
western states there is also n lamentable
failure of the corn crop. Under the cir
| cumstances it would be very strange il
| the demand for manufactured products
should be quite as large as in other years.
The condition of the industries, how
ever, is in some respects more satisfao-
tory. Evidently there is larger demand
F., for iron products than there was a month
ago, though the increase in output has
been somewhat greater than the increase
| in the demand, so that prices steadily

BATTLE WITH TRAMPS
A Train Crow Attacked by Four Hoboes
in Indiana.

ANDERSON, Ind, Oct GA pitched bat
tie between trainmen aud tramps took
place southwest Of this city. The crew Of
the southwest limited on the Big Four re-
ceived orders to side track four miles
south of the city to allow the east bound
southwestern to pass. As the train left the
city the blind baggage car was boarded
by four tramps. When the siding was
made Brakeman Wilson went to the
front platform and ordered them off. The
men showed fight and flashed revolvers.
Wilson ran to the engine cab, called the
engineer and fireman, and the three
pulled their revolvers. Firing began and
fully twenty shots were passed. The
finale came when one of the tramps stag
gered and fell. He was taken up by one
OF the four and carried to the woods at the
side of the track. Just then an east
bound train passed, and the engineer
pulled out to make up lost time. Ander-
son police officers were notified and a
thorough search was made, but further
than spots of blood nothing could be

bern, of Pittsburg, the wealthy American
resident, has been arrested for participa-
ting in the July riots, although he can
prove he was attending a dinner and
took no part in the disorders. He laid
his case before Captain O'Neill, who re-
ceived word from Washington that Ze-
laya has consented to permit American
prisoners to land in Blueields to settle
their affairs, although still considering
them exiles. This is evidently all that
America will do for the prisoners, Eng
land gave even less comfort to its exles,
and the Mohawk took them to Colombia
and Jamaica. 1t has not dropped the
case of Vice Consul Hatch, however Gen
eral Ortiz has escaped from imprisonment,

CHICAGO. Oct. 6.-Reports are current

asserted that having made himself solid
with tue Populists he hopes to be the
choice for United States senator Of such
Representatives Of that party as may sue
ceed in being elected to the Illinois legis-
lature. 1t is not impossible that the Pop
ulists may hold the balance of power in
the joint assembly, and it is claimed that
Judge Trumbull sees II chance to have
himself forced upon the Democrats us a
compromise, and Franklin MacVeagh
dropped as an impossiblity.
