The Skies ARE Clearing.
Bright Pictures Presented by Dun &
Company's Review.
BUSINESS BOOMS EVERYWHERE
In Spite OF Strikes and Other Agitation
There Is Gain All Along tho
Line - Railroad Stocks Arc
Reported Active.

New York, May 10.-R. G. Dun & Co. 3
weekly review OF trade tomorrow will
say:
The event of the week IL the demoral-
ization OF foreign exchanges by enor-
nous sales OF bonds abroad. Besides a
sale of $4,000, 900 Manhattan and other
railroad bonds through the syndicate.
large purchases on foreign account
have been recorded for some weeks,
so that the aggregate probably eX-
ceeds $500OO.00O since the sale of gov
ernments. Safety for the summer
means much for all business. and the
syndicate deems 1t so fully assured
that 1t distributes forty per cent OF
the money advanced by the associates,
which release n large amount to stimu-
late operations in securities and pro-
ducts.
Crop prospects also have greatly i'm
proved. and this is of still higher i'm
portance, as it will do much to deter
mine the character and volume of
all business after summer uncertainties
are over In addition business Is re-
viving, though the gain in great indus
tries Is retarded by many strikes. The
volume of business represented by ex-
changes for the first full week of May
Is 27.2 per cent. larger than last year,
and only 17.2 per cent. less than in 1893,
but bond and speculative operations
have so swelled transactions here that
the gain Of IA per cent. over last year
outside New York Is for the moment a
closer indication Of general business.
Railroads earnings are also better for
the last week of April, exceeding last
years by 1913 per cent, and the loss
for the month, compared with 1893, is
only III per cent.
The successful bond transactions
caused flames of speculation which had
been dying out to blaze up fiercely.
Stocks have risen an average of SITS
for railroads, and 81 cents for trusts,
and an easier money and safety for the
summer seems assured, with ground to
hope for good crops and larger earn
ings, the rise has a more substantial
basis than before.
The output or iron still exceeds the
consumption, but has fallen 1878 tons
weekly in April to 1854 May /.
The most noteworthy gain is in or
ders for steel rails. 10000 tons for the
Pennsylvania and $4,000 for western
road
The failures this week have been 227
in the United States against 206 last
year. and "a in Canada against AZ last
year.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
A Frightened Horse Dashcs Into a Vehicle
Ahead of 1t While Going Down n Steep

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Montrose, May 10.-An accident
which may prove fatal occurred at
Birchardville early on Friday morn
ing.
A 14-year-old daughter Of Harrison
McKeeby was driving down the steep
hill approaching the town; Immediately
behind her came Mrs. Charles Burr
and two children. While on the very
steepest incline the holdbacks of the
harness on Mr. Burr's horse broke, and
her horse, frightened at the occurrence,
rushed wildly after the wagon in front.
Soon 1t was reached, and the concus-
sion threw Miss McKeeby between the
wagon box and right front wheel. On
ran her horse, kicking and jumping
closely followed by Mrs. Burrs horse.
Mrs. Burr and her two children were
thrown out in front of the Birchardville
postoffice and crushed through the
door. They were severely bruised, but
none save the small child of Mrs. Burr
badly injured. Miss McKeeby, how
ever, was kicked in the head so badly
that she now lies unconscious at her ia
ther's home, and her death is hourly
expected.

1t Is Alleged She Has Expressed Such ON
Intention TO Lord Roscbcry's Cabinet.
London. May 10.-Much gossip was
heard today with regard to the Queens
seventy-sixth birthday anniversary,
May "a 1t is not so much the festivi-
ties, as the fact that it is freely rumored
that she will abdicate on that day,
that Is commented upon, and that after
that the Prince of Wales will reign as
King Edward VII.
1t is learned that the Queen expressed
her desire to abdicate at a meeting not
long ago. at which the Prince of Wales,
Lord Rosebery and at least two men,
bers of the cabinet We're present. If
she surrenders the crown on that day,
she will have reigned fifty-eight years,
the longest reign of any monarch of
the nineteenth century.

The Judicial Question.
There In also trouble over the judicial
apportionment. Phe house has passed
Its bill over a month ago. but after
weeks of hearings and discussions the
senate committee rejected the house
measure and substituted its own. The
main difference between the two bills
ls known to all who have followed up
the appoMionment question. In the
senate bill Greene county IL made a sep
arate district. In the house measure II
IL attached to Fayette as at present.
Senator Walton, of Greene. IL chair
man or the senate committee and he
would rather see Green stand alone
than be tied to Fayette.
The Elk. Cameron and Clinton dis
trict Is causing the most trouble. The
house bin wipes out the district, which
Is Democratic and is presided over by
Judge Mayer. of Lock Haven. The
Judge Is backed by Senator Cochran
and Attorney General Mccormick. The
difficulty has been what to do with the
counties, Cleartleld objected to taking
Clinton, the Republicans claiming they
had enough people in Clearfield to en-
titled them to separate district. Cam
eron was saddled on Mexican and Pot
ter and there was some objection to
this arrangement. jefferson county
people objected to have Clarion as a
sattekite, but the house and senate
committees agreed on this district and
no change was made. Senator Mitchell,
of jefferson, Is keeping alive his bill
making a separate district OF his coun-
ty. Should the judicial apportionment
fail he hopes to be able to rush through
the Legislature before the adjournment.
Several other bills Of the same charGc-
ter are being held in reserve.

circulars were sent to Honesdale on

gave the following: Several weeks ago,
at Pittsburg, Mr.. Washburn discharged
an employee for stealing. The man
vowed vengencc. AS the circulars were
mailed from Pittsburg, he is evidently
carrying out his threat. The health
officers of Corning visited the circus
and could find nothing out of the way.
They telegraphed Mayor Bauman as
follows.
Examined Washburn's show and
employees; find all in good health: am
satisfied that the sending out of cir
culars was a case of malicious black
mail, forwarded by discharged en-
ployes."

of the wheelmen when they approach

them under their arms and walk
through the gate, thus avoiding the
payment of toll. Suits may likely grow
out of this plan of the bicyclers.

Missing OF Oxerdue.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 26.-The list of
missing and overdue ships is increasing.
Lord Brassey, 81 days out from Hong
Kong for San Francisco, is reinsured at
15 per cent. Other vessels concerning
which there is anxiety are Lady Law
renee, from Newcastle for Valparaiso, on
which 55 per cent reinsurance has been
paid; the Middleburn, from Newcastle
for Pocopilla, rs per cent; the Soudan,
from Cardiff for Callao, so per cent, and
the Nimma, from Melbourne for Lon
den, 35 per cent. Vessels in which San
Francisco people are most interested are
Star of Australia and Lord Spencer,
which are considered as good as lost,
and to those have been added the Earl
of Hopetown, from Tatoosh for Adelaide,
on which 40 per cent is offered. The
Nordlyset, from the Clyde for San Fran
cisco, 20 per cent. These two are good
risks.
On board those of the overdue fleet for
which there is no real cause to feel anx-
iety, are about 100 men and officers. On
board the vessels overdue for which
there is cause for some but not serious
anxiety, are about as many more souls.
On the vessels that are posted as MISS
ing the last eight months and for which
there is no hope, are about $50 souls.
The amount of property represented
by the overdue feet is valued at about
$4,000, 900, including the values of ships
and cargoes.

Ambassador Eustis' Wife.

PARIS, Oct. 26.-Mrs. Sames B. Eustis,
wife of the United States ambassador,
died suddenly this morning at Ratoath,
Ireland, of heart failure. She had been
i'll only a few days.
Mrs. Eustis, at the time of her death,
was visiting at the country residence OF
her nephew, William Eustis. Mr.. Eus-
tbs had just been notified of the illness
of his wife, and was at the embassy, pre-
pairing to start for Ireland, when he re-
ce1ved the dispatch announcing her
death.
Mr.. Eustis, who was suffering from a
bad attack of bronchitis, sustained such
a severe shock that his condition became
worse. If his physicians permit he will
proceed to Ireland.
The funeral ceremonies will probably
take place at Ratoath, and the body will
be shipped from Queenstown to the
United States.

A Communication.

To THE EDITOR = The Rattlesnake
road question has gained sufficient i'm
petus to be able to almost move without
the necessity of lifting on the wheels.
There are, perhaps, still few who
would unite with the railroad monopoly,
such as some merchants at points along
the railroad. The letter in the last issue
of the Observer, and signed by "Mer-
chant" seems to say: ''We demand
the right to hold you as our slaves, and
have you do our biGding and serve us :"
but we, the people of Sherman county,
mean to be free, and such articles, like
the one the Observer printed, only him
der the time when we will be able to
reap the fruits of our efforts.
