Chicago July 3l.-That Mrs Quinlan the wife Of
me janitor who is supposed to know much about
the Insdeeds OF II. II. Holmes, made a partial con-
fession TO the police this morning Is almost certain

Business Nearly Up TO the NOrnal-Over
100000 In New Bmiluings ana Im-
Death Rate Again-Not So the Arrest
Rate.
The year now losing has been /;
fairly good one for Brattlebora. The
Organ business as one of the Injuries,
has of course remained dull because OF
the hard times but on the whole is a
minion better than last year, and Smith
g. Co. report a falling off. But the
union Industries have nearly all done
better than ever before. Both the over
all companies have had a rushing bust
ness nearly all the year, the Jelly Co.
finds its total % per cent ahead OF any
previous year and Eddy 4 Co. good
deal ahead. The volume Of money
handled as represented by that passing
through the national banks is abou t
10 per cent less than in past years
but this is not far from the difference
in the level of prices. Their
total of deposits is fully as
good as last year, because they have
more idle accounts. The Savings
bank> deposits have increased over
$3.50, 600, due partly to the New
Hampshire troubles and partly to the
subsistence Of the craze for western
investments. There has not been a
sinlge failure among our business
men. unless We count that of ID. A
Martin which really occurred last
year though his petition in insolvency
was not filed till Jan, LIST. The fire
losses amount to only about $1,000, or
half of those of the year before and
but fraction of the premiums paid.
Is it any wander that our business
men feel outraged that insurance rates
keep going up?
The deaths during the year number 1913
or less than Is per each 1000 of inhab-
itants, more than usual but still far
below the rate of what are accounted
the healthiest places.
The year has been one Of good neigh
borliness as a whole. We got up some
steam at first over the electric road ::
but there is now prcttynearly universal
satisfaction that it is in, and the
series of burglaries during the summer
is about the only other thing that has
disturbed the even tranquility of our
life.
The record of arrests is the worst
more than three times over, for years,
