ATTEMPT TO KILL wEYLER.
Train He Was Supposed to Be On Blown
Up With Bombs

railroad train was blown up between
Punta Brava and Candelaria, Pinar del Rio.
Captain General Weyler was at Candelaria
for short time. and 1t is believed the
authors OF the explosion supposed the cap
tain-general to be on the train which was
blown up, but he had left Candelaria several
hours before the explosion.
The damage to the train was occasioned
by the simultaneous explosion OF three dyna-
mite bombs. accompanied by a terrific de-
tonation. The engine and several cars were
derailed and n tremendous column of smoke
and dust was raised. Immediately upon the
explosion OF the bombs there were several
discharges OF rifle shots. The engineer,
fireman and conductor OF the train, six sol
diers and several passengers were wounded.
The wounded passengers wore placed on u
relief train and taken back to Cnndela,ia.
The train for San Cristobal stopped over
night at Mangas. and the lines being inter
rupted returned to Candelaria.
The news of the explosion caused consid-
cradle excitement in Havana. as IL was
known that Captain-Geneial Weyler was in
that neighborhood and tho railroad line was
being used for the transportation OF troops.

COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS IMPROVED
BUSINESS GAINING.
Industries Reviving in an Unprecedented
Way.

X. q. Dun 4 Co. in their weekly review OF
trade say. The gain in volume OF business
continues entirely without precedent More
than 800 establishments have started work
since the election which were idle, and at
ieast 800 have increased working force,
making 800 concerns which are known to
have added largely to the number OF hands
at work, and these are only part OF the whole
number. Every day thus adds thousands to
the number of those who are able to buy n
weeks supplies, and to make up gradually
for months OF enforced economy Already
this brings grent increase In the volume OF
business and the clearinghouse exchanges
for the first time In several years, not only
exceed those OF last year by 10 per cent but
also exceed those OF tho same week in 1892
by per cent. Business men are all anxious
to prevent anything like the fictitious excite
ment OF last summer, and In nearly all
branches an excessive rise In prices is pre-
vented. But with more hands at work there
is inevitably n greater demand for supplies
materials and products.
The speculative markets have been react
ing, which is also natural. Wheat had risen
with wonderful rapidity, 80 that exports had
been checked by the higher prices and real
i2ing started break, which made the close
31s lower for the week. II appears Pacific
exports OF wheat, flour included, were nearly
100000 bushels larger July to November
than Inst year, and all other exports about
l5,SOO,0 600 bushels larger, or more than so
per cent, and in November Atlantic exports
have been 4, 4,i93. 106 bushels, flour included,
against 4, 1888. 7i5 bushels last year. The de-
mand for freight room, both here and on the
Paciflc coast, is still so large rs to disclose
an extraordinary foreign demand. Western
receipts for the month thus far have been
only 14,T9G,sSS bushels, against 23,s9s,3 ,3l1
lnt yta Oh
tinue to increase, although tho milling re-
turns slightly exceed those of last or any
previous year.
Cotton has declined from s C to 1852 in
spite OF the starting of many cotton mills
and the controlling fact for the moment is
that reports Of yield smaller than 5000, COO
bales nre now entirely discredited.
Bradstreets review of the New York stock
market says:
Prices have been irrcgularly depressed
during the past week and the professional
element in the stock market have generally
assumed bearish attitude. The flrm eondi
tion OF the London money market checks any
exhibition of foreign speculative interest in
our stocks, while our own outside public's
purchasing has apparently been replaced by
disposition to realize profits or to liquidate
holdings OF long stock. There has conse-
quently been considerable pressure of actual
holdings on the market, but 1t must never
theless be admitted that the upsetting influ-
onces have in the main originated with the
class OF operators, large and small, who are
permanently active in the market.

smith, Ark, Nov. II, after five months OF
keen suffering, caused by Bright's disease
Not perhaps since the time of Jeffreys, the
historical changing Judge of the reign Of
James H., and his somewhat less noted sue
ccssor. Judge Page, has there been SO re-
morseless n trial Judge on the bench.
When President Grant appointed him to
the position which he filed until his death,
Judge Parker became known as a iurist who
never let a criminal escape, once n trial
was begun. until he had been properly sem
fenced for his sin, and the community or the
man tried never complained about the letter
of the law being fulfilled to the fullest meas
ure.
During his % years on the bench Judge
Parker sentenced over 200 criminals to death.
Judge Parker has his defenders, and, to
give him n share of the stern justice he was
himself so fond of, It must be said that his
apparent rigor was justified by the ininmy
OF his surroundings.
Most of his Judgements were iinal. There
was no court of appeals, except the Presl-
dent of the United States. and that function
ary seldom changed the decision of the Ar
kansas court. During Judge Parkers long
term on the bench, the records show that
from so to 90 per cent OF the trials brought
before him resulted In conviction.

K. OF L. DECLARES FOR SILVER.
Denounces the Attempt to Legislate the
Issue of Money to National Banks.

The general assembly OF Knights OF Labor
In session at Rochester declared for free sill
yer. The action was taken In the adoption OF
an additional clause to the seventeenth plank
Of the declaration, submitted by tn, commit
tee on law As originally framed this plank
held that interest-bcaring bonds. bills OF
credit or notes should never be issued by the
government, but that when need arises the
emergency should be met by the issue of leg
al tender non-interest bearing money. To
this was added the following:
"And that gold and silver when so Issued,
shall be free and unlimited coinage at the
ratio of 16 to regardless of the action OF
any other nation"
The proposition to reduce the ratio of
representation of district, state and national
assemblies was voted down. A new propo-
sition, granting representation to isolated
local assemblies attached directly to the gen.
eral assembly on basis OF n delegate for
the first thousand members, and one for
each additional thousand or majority frac-
ton thereof, was adopted. which gives repre-
sentation to between 1000 and GO, 900 mem
bers who are not now entitled to representa-
lion.
A resolution was adopted that the general
assmbly denounce the attempt soon to be
made to take from the government of the
people the sovereign right to issue money
and leaving ii entirely under the control OF
the national banks. and calls upon the peo-
pie everywhere to watch their representa-
lives in congress and demand from them
such legislation as will continue the issuance
of government money in preference to
money of national banks or corporations.

A WARDEN KILLED.
He Jumped From Train After an Escaping
Prisoner

An exciting scene occurred at Ellsworth
on the Ft Wayne railroad, Thursday. which
resulted In the dcnth OF Thomas McCrea
warden OF the Erie jail.
McCrea and Deputy J. +. Liebel, of Erie,
were ON their way to the Western Peniten-
tiary with % prisoners. The trip from Erie
to Pittsburg was passed without incident
until Ellsworth was reached. Here the train
boy opened the door In which the prisoners
and officers were, and instantly one of the
prisoners Patrick Cronin, pushed the boy
aside and made break for liberty.
Cronn was chained to six other prisoners
and In some manner he succeeded In picking
the lock on the handouts. He reached the
plat form of the train and jumped. The
train was going at high speed and when
Cronin struck the ground he turned SOM
ersault and struck on his head. He was
rendered unconscious.
McCrea followed the escaped prisoner and
was more unfortunate. He landed squarely
on his head.
As soon us possible the train was stopped
and Deputy Liebee went back TO the scene of
the attempted flight Of Cronin. Both men
mere brought to Allegheny.
Cronin had regained consciousness, and
was taken to the Central station. Director
Murphy ordered the man taken to the peni-
tentiary, whero his injuries were attended to.
McCrea was taken TO the Allegheny General
hospital, where he died just before reaching

MURDERED IN NEW YORK.
Found Dying on the Sidewalk and Never
Regained Consciousness.

Frank ?. Arbuckle, of Denver, COL, was
found in an unconscious condition lying in
an obscure place near vacant lot just on
the sidewalk, In n lot OF weeds, on the west
side OF Eighth avenue between One Hundred
and Fifty-second and One Hundred and
Fifty-third street, New York, at 2:45 O'Clock
Friday morning. He died in the patrol
wagon on the way to q station house, with
out regaining consciousness. That the man
was robbed and murdered Is believed from
incidents which occurred short time prev
ious to his being discovered lying In the
weeds.
The ambulance surgeon who was called
upon the finding Of the dying man gave 1t as
his opinion that he was suffering from heart
disease. The police, however, are Of the
opinion that the man came by his death at
the hands OF thugs. Ten minutes before
Arbuckle was found policeman passed the
place on his beat, and he asserts positively
that there was no one there then.
The police think it possible that knockout
drops may have entered In the game, and
this an autopsy Is to decide. While they be-

LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM CUBA
WEYLER'S WAITING WAR.
His Mortal Blow To Be Struck After
Christmas.

Gen. weyler has been interviewed In the
Jaca camp, near the town OF San Cristobal.
province Of Plnar del Bio. He expressed
himself as confident OF soon putting an end
20 the insurrection. He said, after declaring
hat he was satisfied with the operations that
nave been carried on up to the present time
hat he believed that the insurgents did not
have In the hills supplies sufficient to last
them for more than three engagements
After these engagements had occurred II
would be easier to estimate the resources OF
The rebels, but he believed that II wond then
be found that their ammunition was exhaust
ed. He added that he still had 10 or 20 days
work TO perform at the camp to complete his
preparations for an advance on the rebels,
but that he would wait until after Christmas
before he moved his troops forward. Then
he would strike mortal blow at the insur-
rection.
When questioned concerning the position
Of Maceo, the rebel leader, Con. Weyler an-
swered
"The last news | received about him locat-
ed him south OF the Western railway, on which
san Cristobal IL located. He Is unwilling to
meet our columns even when his forces are
in good positions. We will see"
This indicates that the results OF Weylers
campaign are still In the future. Maceo is
apparently following his old tactics OF draw
Ing the spanards as far us possible into the
hills from the base of supplies, when by di-
yiding his forces into small commands, he
Will be able to continually harass them with
guerilla tactics for which they have no liking.
Some distance TO the west OF San Cristobal
are mountain passes where a comparative
few rebels would DO able to hold their own
against any force that Spain could send
against them, and 1t Is thought that Weyler
will not meet the elusive Maceo until he
comes upon him unexpectedly in some OF
the mountain Businesses.
