Dun's Review Of Trade.

New York, April 10.-R G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade. which is
sues tomorrow, Will say:
The volume of business has not on
the whole increased nor have prices ap-
preciably advanced since April 1. when
the range for all commodities was the
lowest ever known in this country.
Breadstuffs and iron products have
risen slightly, but some other articles
have declined and the root of the mat
ter is that demand for consumption is
still below expectations.
The injury done to winter wheat by
storms and frosts at the west would
appear from reports of State officers to
have been considerable Remarkably
low estimates of conditions are pub
lished by some State authorities, and
while this may be the customary exag-
geratiOn, there has evidently been
much actual loss, which tends at pres
ent TO lessen purchases of farmers and
of dealers in farming districts. These
conditions tend to check the advance
which reached three cents. but was fol-
lowed by a reaction of one cent. Corn
-
small stocks.
The billet pool and other combina-
tiOns have raised prices of pig iron and
steel but as yet finished products have
gained scarcely anything, nor has de-
mand for them increased The output
April 1st was 19O2S1 tons weekly.
against 1S9, 5S3 March 1st but reported
stocks unsOld increased 58.16S tons in
March, or 1892 weekly, and there is be
sides the uncommon accumulation of
the great steel concerns. Prices for
lake ore are announced as expected
81 10 higher than last year and the
coke combination makes no reduction.
but gradually lessons output While
purchases of pig to anticipate future
wants have been heavy, actual con-
sumption is but moderate. Minor met
ais are dull. but lead weaker at 3.O5
cents on forced sales. Wool is weaker
with sales of the week only 2232. 500
pounds at the three chief markets. the
smallest for many years. Prices tend
lower for fine washed fleece, and manu-
facturers are rapidly reducing prOduc-
ton. Further reduction in shirting
prints, to the lowest point ever touched
failed to increase the demand mater
tally.
Failures for the week have been 2O9

year and SO in Canada, against q last
year.

WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED
A Remarkable Crime Committed at
Pentwater, Michigan.
S. B. Minchall, an Insurance Agent
and Lawyer, Kills His Wife ano-
Three Children and Commits Sui
eide Had Made an Effort to Muir
der William B. o. Sands a Few
Minutes Before.

Muskegon, Mich, April 10.-Word
was received here from Pentwater of a
bold attempt last night by some un-
known man on the life of VIM. B, o.
Sands, president of the Sands & Max
we'll Lumber Company.
Mr.. Sands had been at the Office Of
the company at work, and left for his
home shortly after 9 o'clock. When
within a few yards of his home a man
jumped from behind a corner Of the
street and commenced to fire at him
with a gun. Mr.. Sands ran across the
street to his home, the would-be assas-
sin following and keeping up a fire.
Five shots were fired in all, three find
ing resting places in his right arm and
one in the leg.
Suspicion pointed to S. B. Minchall, a
local insurance agent and attorney, as
the perpetrator of the deed, and it was
decided to place him under arrest. The
officers found his residence locked and
broke in the door A horrible sight
was presented. Mrs. Minchll was ly-
ing upon the floor of the sitting room
with bullet hole in her temple. Near
her was the dead body of her daughter
Ruby, about 16 years of age. In cor
ner of the same room lay Minchall
with an empty revolver clutched in his
hand. He. too. was dead.
In an adjoining bedroom were found
the bodies OF George, aged 4, and his
infant brother They were in bed to-
gether and evidently death had come
upon them while they slept.
The developments to-day tend TO
prove that Minchalrs horrible crimes
were deliberately premeditated. From
letter written by the murderer. found
on his premises to-day, il appears that
he contemplated killing his family two
months ago. Fear of poverty is the eX-
cuse offered. and the writer asks a Chi
cagO friend TO look after the murderer's S
family in case they survive him.

THE FILLED CHEESE BILL
Under Discussion in the House-A Word
for Mrs. MaybricII in the Senate.

Washington, April 1O.-After the
consideration of some routine matters,
the House to-day took up the filled
cheese" bill. Mr.. Grosvenor described
in detail the manufacture of filled
cheese" from skinned milk and leaf
lard.
The expectation of filed cheese, he
said. had practically ruined the foreign
market for genuine American full milk
cheese. The bill did not prohibit or
discourage the manufacture of filed
cheese; it simply forced the manufact-
ure and sale of it under its true colors.
President pro tenn. Frye was in the
chair to-day in the absence of Vice
President Stevenson from the Senate.
Mr.. Call Dem, Fla.O stated that in
quiries had been made of him by Eu-
gene V. Debs and other labor leaders
as to whether the Senate Judiciary
Committee was taking any action on
the restriction Of the power of federal
judges.
Mr.. Hoar Rep., Mass..) chairman OF
the Judiciary Committee, said all the
members believed some comprehensive
legislation in this line was needed, and
several plans were under consideration
but not fully matured. Mr. Hill Dem,
n. y had special charge of the sub
iect, and Mr.. ThurstOn Rep. Neb.,) had
presented a measure covering the whole
subject. He CMr HOar) expected a
definite plan would be presented to the
Senate later on.
There was something of a breeze
when Mr.. Call presented a Joint reso-
luton concerning the Imprisonment of
Mrs. Maybrick and requesting that the
President intervene with the British
authorities toward securing her re-
lease.
THAT ought not to be introduced
here and | move to lay the resolution
on the table" " interpOsed Mr.. Sherman.
The Senate of the United States has
no jurisdiction over the subject"
Mr.. Call dissented from this proposi-
tion and said he would insist on a vote
on it. The resolution was responsive.
he said, to wide public sentiment in this
country, and there was nothing in it
oiscOurteOus.
Mr.. Sherman insisted on his motion
To table. On a viva vOce vote Mr. .Sher-
mans motion appeared to prevail. but
Mr.. Call asked for a roll call and then
began a speech in opposition. There
upon Mr.. Sherman said he would as
sent to a reference of the resolution to
the Judiciary Committee, and this was
agreed to.
The consideration of the Indian ap-
preparation bill was then resumed.

In the LambOrn Murder Case at Leven-
worth, Kansas-The Alleged Confession
Denied
Leavenworth, Kas., April 10.-A
fresh sensation in the murder case of
the wealthy farmer J. T. Lamborn has
developed. Annie and Charles Lam
born have made sworn statements to
their attorneys denying the alleged con-
fessiOns, in which they were made to
admit having planned the murder Of
their father and in which Thomas Dav-
enport, the girls sweetheart, was
charged with committing the crime.

Kansas City detective, that he had re-
ceiyed detailed confession from the

crime, ii is alleged, and for executing
it. Davenport was to marry the girl and
come in on a division of the old man s
property, valued at $4,000. Now the
children declare that their signatures
to the confession" were forced from
them and deny in toto any connection
with the crime or knowledge of its per-
petrators
Annie LambOTn, who made the most
damaging confession" of the two. is
described as a weak-minded girl easily
Influenced. Both the Lamborn chill
dren and Davenport are still in jail.
