two children were In bed. The men,
Griftiths and Lloyd, knocked at the
door twice before any answer was made
and then his mother-in-law told the
men to go away. They refused to go
and then she went out to get police aid
While she was gone the men demanded
to get in for immoral purposes.

several times. and when they did not go
he went out. When the witness opened
the door his wife cautioned him to
mind himself. for there We're three men
and one was coming towards him.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE,
Fears OF Financial Disorder No Longer
Rctard the Growth of Business-Th
General Outlook Seems HOpcful.

New York, March 9.-R. C. Dunn and
Co.'S weekly review tomorrow will say:
Congressional adjournment and proof
that though the rate of exchange rises
10 and even above the shipping point,
gold does not go out, have produced
much better feeling. Prices do not i'm
prove, and there is on the whole no
gam, but some loss in wages, while
strikes of $1,000 coal miners near Pitts
burg and several thousand building
workers here, besides strikes in ten
or twelve textile and iron establish
ments further lessen purchasing power
for the time
But anticipation of improved demand
Tor goods Is general, and many are
manufacturing and buying beyond
present needs on the strength of it.
Fears of financial disorders no longer
retard the growth of business
Strikes to resist the induction of
wages in several textile works, and re-
ductions effected in some others, by
no means contradict the accounts that
the mills are receiving somewhat bet
ter orders. Prices Of goods are very
low and print cloths have fallen to 2.44
cents below any former record.
Money markets have hardened some
what, and rather more commercial pa
per is offered, especially in dry goods
Failures for the week have been 2S4 in
the United States against 24S last year,
and 5S in Canada against 60 last year.

THREATENED COAL WAR.

Embargo on Valley and Central.

mOrS or Receiver-Reading RAISES
Embargo on Valley and Central.
Philadelphia, March S.-The officials
of the Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central
railroads held a meeting at Bethlehem
today, but what definite action was
taken in regard 10 the new coal freight
rates presented to them by the Reading
company could not be learned.
The following were present at the
meeting: General Traffic Manager John
Taylor, Assistant General Traffic Man
ager II. II. Kingston, and Coal Freight
Agent George Taylor, representing the
Lehigh Valley; General Traffic Man.
ager j. Lowey Bell and General Freight
Agent r. II. Wycokoff. representing the
Jersey Central. President Wilbur of
the Lehigh Valley stated that it was
agreed at the meeting to issue a new
tariff rate to shippers, giving them sub
stantially the same rate to all points
on the two roads as they are now re-
celving to East Penn and Bethlehem
Junction.
The threatened coal war has had a
depressing tendency upon the stock of
the Lehigh Valley and today it touched
the lowest point reached since 1877. The
stock fell today from 29A to 27h, where
ii closed. The stock Of the Lehigh Nav
igatlon company also fell from A to
40ia. There was very little movement
in the stock of the Reading company,
and 1t remains firm at 3s. The oft re-
peated rumor that the Lehigh Valley
is to go into the hands of receiver was
circulated on the streets again today
but an official denial that such thing
is imminent was made at the Office of
the company.
The absolute embargo placed by the
Reading upon the coal of the Lehgh
Valley and Jersey Central roads on
Wednesday, and which prevented them
sending any coal into this city, was
raised today. In explanation Of the
raising of the embargo it was stated by
the Reading officials that the congested
condition Of the road had been relieved
and that freight would again be moved
freely. The Readings new freight rate
to the Lehigh Valley and Jersey Cen
trai goes into effect on Monday.

this morning:
I'VE have found no traceo of Mr.. Bache

that he left the boat at Fall River and
