ElNANcE AND TRADE
The Boom in steel and Iron Surprises
Even the Trade.


NEW York, June 20 - Bradstreets'
weekly review of trade says Dominating
business conditions of the week are the
continued large demand for and further
increases in prices for iron and steel which
have surprised even the trade The jump
Ia rail prices and scarcity of and higher
quotations for plates and nails have tended
to produce temporary scarcity.
There are a few evidesEes of revival
of trade in the south, but merchants at
almost all leading cities in that region re-
port that demand continues very moder-
ate and collections are slow General
business on the Pacific coast continues in
contrast to nat elsewhere, but wheat is
being exported from San Francisco rs
fast as it can be loaded into ships Wheat
flour shipments to Europe are to be re-
sumed from mills at Vallejo, after sus-
pension of over one year.

DOOM OF THE ooNsprRAroRs.
scenes at the Trial of the Assassins of
President Lincoln.

Scenes at the Trial OF the Assassins or
President Lincoln.
The courtroom in which were tried
in May, 1855, the eight conspirators ar
raigned for being concerned in the plot
against the lives Of the heads of the
government was a place Of fascinating
and perhaps morbid interest. The trial
was arranged to be secret, but it was
finally opened to those who could pro-
cure passes from the president of the
court The room in which the trial was
held is part of the great United States
arsenal establishment, attached TO
which is the penitentiary in which the
conspirators were confined. It is on
the banks of the Potomac, in the SUBJ
urbs of the city. Entering an old
fashioned brick building, one was
shown into a large. bare room on the
ground floor, where sat couple OF
staff officers receiving the credentials
of those who applied for admission;
they sent those up to the court, where
an officer inspected them, and re-
turned them, if satisfactory, with the
desired card of admission. The part
of the room which was not occupied by
the court was rallied off, and was taken
up with a few seats of reporters and
spectators generally, who were crowded
confusedly about, and rested as best
they could against the bare, white
washed walls of the room. At the
farther end of the apartment was a
wooden railing, behind which, on the
narrow raised platform, sat the ac-
cused men, all in solemn row, with
an armed soldier sitting between every
two persons. At the 1eft-hand corner
behind them was a heavy iron door
opening into the corridor along which
were the cells of the prfSO0orS Each
one of the accused was manac1ed hand
and foot. and sat grimly against the
wall, facing the court and the wit
nesses, the witness stand being a
raised box In the center of the room.
The appearance and demeanor of the
court, 1t must be admitted, was neither
solemn nor impressive. The members
of the commission sat about in various
negligent attitudes, and a general ap-
pearance Of disorder was evident. Many
ladies were present, and their ire
pressible whispering was a continued
nuisance to the reporters, who desired
to keep track of the evidence. The wit
nesses were first examined by the judge
advocate, the members of the court
putting in a question now and then,
and the counsel for the prisoners TAX
ing up the cross-exa mination, each
counsellor attending only to the witness
whose testimony affected his own
client. The witnesses were brought in
without regard to any particular Grim
inal, all being tried at once. Occasion
ally an attorney for one prisoner would
develop" the witness under examina-
ton in such manner as to injure the
cause of another OF the defendants, and
then a petty quarrel would ensue be-
tween the different counsel.

going down to the pantry was dead bur-
glar lying at full length on the pantry floor.

SHOCKING THE DOGS.
They Got Dose of Electricity and
Didn't Seem to Like It.

They Got Dose of Electricity and
Didn't Seem to Like It.
A pair of dogs had very unhappy
ten minutes in front OF Shepard & Co.'S,
on Westminster street, Providence, the
other afternoon. It was after o'clock
when the first dog came mbling4llong.
and a few minutes later the other dog
appeared. They promptly struck up a
friendship, and went on an investigat-
ing tour in Indian file. An innocent APP
pearing trolley pole stands on the side
walk, and though it was raining, the
ground about the pole was dry when the
dogs showed up. The first dog moved
up to the pole and put his nose against
it. Then he let out a series of bowls
and yGls, and proceeded to roll on the
ground, prefacing the proceeding by
kicking the second dog in the eye. The
latter animal seemed panied and sur
prised at this behavior, and he investi-
gated by putting the end of his nose
against the pole. A number of people
hurried to the spot and listened to the
canine duet, while dog No. continued
to roll around in wet places, and dog No.
2 ran up and down with his nose against
the flagstones. Somebody said the dogs
had a pair of fits between them, but
he didn't explain how one dog could
catch fit from the other. Still he ran
for pail of water. Officer O'Brien came
along, saw the dry place about the pole,
and recognized that it was charged with
electricity. He said the dogs were
shocked, and the man who saw the first
of it thought that that described the
feelings of the second dog after the first
dog had found out what was in the
pole. While the dogs were cleaning off
the sidewalk with themselves, the Off
Ger guarded the pole and warned away
drivers of horses. He also notified the
Union Railroad Company, and when the
repair wagon came, 1t was found that
the insulation in the cap over the troll
ley was worn out. and the current had
escaped, charging the ground wires and
the pole. After this interesting fact was
communicated to the dogs they stopped
rolling around and ran away.

ROY EARL YORK, THE BOY PREACHER.
He is but IS years of age, and his name
is Roy Earl York. he is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. 2. A. York of Warrensburg
Mo.
Roy was born at Abilene, Kan,
March Is, 1882. From early childhood
his mind developed strong religious
trend. His favorite childish pastime was
to ''play meeting with his little COM
panions, and he would not only talk and
pray himself, but encourage playmates
to do likewise.
In 1898 the York family moved to
Warrensburg, Mo-, and in November of
that year the lad, who showed himself
to be boy of much more than ordinary
intelligence, aside from his religious
precocity, was baptized and became a
member of the Baptist church under the
ministry of Rev. H. A. Slaughter, who
seems to have been the first minister to
discover Roy s strong inclination toward
evangeistic work and gave him every
opportunity for labor along religious
lines.
Roy preached his first sermon on Feb.
8, 1894, during a revival meeting which
was being conducted by the Rev. Mr..
Slaughter at Knob Noster, Mo, his text
being taken from the fifty-third chapter
of Isaiah. Considering the extreme
youth of the preacher, it is said to have
been a good sermon and a great sur
prise to all who heard it. He continued
preaching at Knob Noster for several
days, attracting large congregations. A
short time ago the Baptist church of
Warrensburg gave him a license to
preach, though he has not yet been regu-
larly ordained rs a minister, preferring
to wait for that rite until he has COM
pleted his education. He expects to at
tend the Southern Baptist seminary at
Louisville. Since he began preaching
he has spoken at various places in Mis-
souri, and Kansas.
Roy has just passed his thirteenth
birthday and still wears knee breeches
and the broad boys collar, which give
him very youthful appearance. His
voice still retains its childish treble. but
is strong and clear.
In g series of evangelistic sermons
soon to be inaugurated at Pertle Springs,
Mo-, Roy York will be assisted by Rev
Erwin F. Leake. aged II, pastor of the
Baptist church of Mount Carmel, Ills. q,
who is the youngest pastor in the United
States
