here that an organized mob is being
formed at Morgnntown to lynch Sam
Spcyer and Alfred Bslchcr for the murder
of Major A. H. Hamilton. The case has
been in discussion since Wednesday, but
up to this morning not a juryman had
been impaneled, Notwithstanding over ESQ
have been examined all of whom have
been rejected. Judge Settle has ordered
200 men to be summoned from the adj0in-
ing counties, and hopes to get a jury out
Of that number The excitement is at a
high pitch, and tns mob only needs a

of the Weather Burenu.

New YORK, July 6.-J. Sterling Morton
secretary Of agriculture, arrived In the
eity yesterday Tho secretary took the
ehaffing about the weather good naturedly,
and made no excuses for the first days
work Of his new chief, Willis l.. Moore,
but claimed that the now mn} y the best
forecaster of the weather bureaa
'We don't want scientific deductions"
said the secretary. 1--WE want forecasts.
This now man won his promotion by a
good record as q forecaster He was
brought up In the service from boyhood.
He was chosen on the day that Howgate,
y former chief, was sentenced to prison.
: Twenty years before, to a day, Willie
Moore was confined in the guard house by
order Of Howgate for refusing to indorse
some dishonest reports Of the then chief.
You might call 1t retributive justice.
"There has been a great deal of talk
shout politics In the appointment Of
Moore. ! never asked his politics until
after he was sworn. TO tell the truth, Mr..
Norton was his reply, II have always
voted the Republican ticket
"He was chosen because he can forecast
khe weather. " is suggested that now hs
Ia at the top, he can afford to give the
other boys in the service the benefit of his
secret, and he has promised to do so. The
result will be that we will have more
faithful weather forecasts than ever before

FINANCE AND TRADE.
The Commercial Agencies still Give Most
ENCOURAGING Reports.


Encouraging Reports.
New YORK, July 6.-R. G. Dun g. Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says; The mid
summer reports from all commercial cen.
ters are OF especial interest, covering the
questions on which the future of business
depends. They indicate distinctly better
crop prospects than other official or COM
mercial accounts, a marked increase in
retail distribution of products, an active
demand for goods and a general enlarge
ment Of the working force, with some ad-
vance In the wages of more than half o
million hands. At the same time they
show that the rapid advance in prices has
somewhat checked buying Of few classes
of products. In every part of the country
the outlook for fall trade Is considered
bright.
There were 6,657 commercial failures in
the first half of 1895, against 1000 In the
nrst half of 1894, and Q, 40l In the first half
OF 1893, These commercial failures in
volved liabilities of SIS, ,S39, ,944 this year,
against Sl01, ,739, 3Oe last year, and s163, 1884,
s44 in 1893, Manufacturing failures for
the half year were ,254, against / sol last
year, and liabilities $40, 3ol $40 against s4l,-
87e, ,109 last year and about ss9 0O0, 600 in
the first half of 1893. Trading failures for

ing the week is broken by a holiday, fa-
vorable trade conditions heretofore re-

In prices of staples and in wages of indus

have endeavored to keep track of them,

million industrial workers have received
