TRADE is A LITTLE IMPROVED
There Is Better Movement of
Staples.

New York, Oct. 2.--Bradstreets tomor-
row will say:
Cool weather and continued purchases
by interior merchants, notably west and
south, continued the slight improvement
in trade recorded in the preceding weeks.
The merchants at the primary cotton
markets and at the large centers in the
spring wheat region report a better
movement Of staples due to unusually
heavy receipts Of those crops. Through
out the central west including such
points as Baltimore, Cincinnati. Chicago
and St Louis, the volume of trade falls
behind that of year ago in some IN
stances, bur it is equal to 1t in others.
AT eastern centers the improvement Is
seen in greater case in the money markets
and more disposition to discount com
mercial paper, although at unchanga ed
rates. Mercantile collections continue
slow and as difficult to make as here
tofore, except in the cotton states and
some points in the northwest. whore
heavy crop receipts have enabled the in
terror merchants to liquidate long-stand-
ing accounts.
The total number of business failures
throughout the United States from Jaau-
airy l to September 30, 1896, Is II $50 the
largest aggregate for like period since
records OF this character have been com
piled

THE SAD TALE or DEATH
THE DETAILS OF LAST TUESDAYS

Districts and Counties Laid waste
with Damages Running Up
Into the Millions.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 2.-Communlca-

the news of the destruction Of life and
property by Tuesdays hurricane De-
comes appalling. uunureds OF persons

Renorts to the Citizen from 7G different

show that CT persons were killed ana o-
injured. m,
These are the known casualties. ~
this total, probably considerable mum

occurred at that place. The destruction

Full authentic advices from Cedar Keys
late tonight show the almost total de-
struction of the town and the loss OF
$50 lives. This is believed to include the
complete roll of the dead.

near the place, a party or hVe men,
three women and three children were
camping out Some surveyors making
their way home after the storm found
II dead bodies strewn on the shore, under

were simultaneously killed by the tidal
wave.
Eight other bodies have been found
on the beach. Twenty more fisherm an

the tempest was at its height the Bet

IDAHO TICKETS CERTIFIED
But state Secretary Garrett Was
Slow About 1t.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 3.-The people of
Boise have been agitated all day, as a
result Of the announcement in the States
man this morning that Secretary of
State Garrett had decided that the sill
yer republican ticket and the electors
of the democratic ticket were both He
gal, and would not be certified. Inquiry
at the secretary's office this morning
disclosed that the secretary had the mat
ter under consideration, and had decided
not to certify either ticket-the first on
the ground that the silver republican
convention was irregular and not proper
ly called, the second on the ground that
the electors ticket filed by petition was
presented day too late.
Attorney General Parsons Immediately
telegraphed Judge Sullivan for his i'm
mediate presence, and at the same time
prepared a paper for mandamus proceed
ings. This afternoon 1t was ascertained
that the secretary would refuse to certi-
fy those nominations unless he was as
sured of the support of the Mckinley,
populist and democratic organizations.
The Mckinley and populist committees
offered every support possible but the
democratic committee realizing that such
an action would disfranchise 10000 or
| II, 600 Bryan and Sewall votes, refused
to concur in the revolutionary proceed
lngs.
| AS soon as it was known that The
democratic committee would not agree to
| support the secretary, the tickets were
| both certified and are now in the mails
| en- route to the various county recorders
| The populists who would have directly
| prof1ted by the suppression of the silver
| republican ticket are particularly bit
| ter toward the democratic committee to-
night.

SARGENT AND MoRRIssnY TO GO
To Protect Their Orders in the
Operators Strike.

Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 3.-Grand Master Sar-
gent of the Brotherhood of Firemen, and
Grand Master Morrissey of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, will leave
tomorrow for Montreal to be on the
ground and protect the interests of their
orders In the Canadian Pacific strike.
At the headquarters of the Order of
Railway Telegraphers great surprise is
expressed at the Montreal dispatch,
which declares that the vice president
of the Canadian Pacific asserts that the
chief question involved is whether The
company shall deal with it's employees di-
rect or with the officials of their organ
i2ation. This is pronounced something
entirely new, and a question not hitherto
raised by the company.
During the pending trouble Second AS
sistant Chief Pierson has negotiated
with Canadian Pacific officials without
any objection on their part, and several
months ago Chief Powell and Mr.. Pier
son secured the reinstatement of a tel
egrapher.
Sir William Van Horne, president OF
the company. made the orders himself
1t Is stated that contracts on the Cana
dian Pacific now in effect with conduc-
tors, trainmen, engineers and firemer
were procured by the officials of theiI
organizations.
