TRADE is IMPROVING.
More Favorable Reports Made by the
Weekly Reviews.

New York;. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review Of trade, says:
Tine sudden change from sleighing
TO summer heat, with fair skies in
most cities, has tested the prevalent
idea that good weather only was need.
ed TO bring genearl improvement in
business Everywhere there has been
more retail buying, and in some
branches better demand at wholesale.
There is no abatement OF the almost
universal disposition TO deal with IN.
usual conservatism and not to antici.
pate future wants, and this mas been
especially conspicuous where combina.
tlons have been formed or prices ad.
vanced. The comparative in1requency
OF serious failures, with money less dis.
turbed since gold exports began than
might have been expected, helps TO give
encouragement, but does not kIndle
speculative fires, and such Improvement
as appears is mainly of healthy sort.
To many interested in iron ore and
coke, steel blllets, Bessemer pig and
various forms Of steel, it may be dis.
appointing that the forming Of com.
binations and fixing Of prices have not
started again the rush TO buy ahead OF
needs, which made last year SO mem.
orable. But it is not easy to forget the
lesson which the past year taught. In.
stead OF increasing, purchases have, on
the whole, rather slackened, though
sales are little better in tank plates
and in sheets at Chicago. Bessemer
pig and gIsy forge are little lower at
Plttsburg, as is the average of all iron
and steel quotations, and obstacles
have not been overcome. The greatest
consumers of lake ore have not hastened
TO make contracts at advanced pirces,
and the output Of coke is stationary,
Tlnplste makers are meeting, and some
propose TO produce steel for their trade
at plants of their own. Unsold stocks
increased IN March 1875 tons more
than was reported last week. At the
West almost every other town seems 10
want steel for some building, and good
orders have been placed for bars by i'm.
plement and carmakers. Heavy pro.
ductIon of copper defeats heavy ex.
ports, and 1889 is quoted for lake, and
spelter has broken TO $4.l0.
Wheat rose about SC last week, met

NICE KIND OF EVANGELIST
Deserted His Family and EIoped win
a widow.

Deserted His Family and Eloped With
awidow.
New York, April 2O.-The Rev
Harry NJ. Covert left his home in
Brooklyn March 81, and on the way
same day. and at the same hour, BY
what may be strange coincidence, Mrs
Helene Springer, widow, also left her
home, which was just around the cor.
ner from where the Coverts lived.
When the Rev. H. NJ. Covert, who i
one of the best known evangelists in
the country. left his residence, he left
behind handsome wife and stepson
aged IA. When Mrs. Springer left her
home she deserted a son by her first hus.
band and married daughter. She did
not go away, however, until she had
sold her residence, disposed of 81, 900
worth of household furniture, and ne.
gotiated the sale of $4,000 worth Of
bonds and stocks, which gave her a
total capital of $4,000.
Covert married Mrs. Alice Mason in
June, 1892 She was a particularly
comely woman of about 40 years, and
ne was a man prepossessing in appear
ance. 1t was she who had the money:
he had nothing. Years before he had
been real estate speculator and had
massed anything but an excellent repu-
tation on the exchange. She inherited
from her husband an estate amounting
to something more than $4,000
MIR. Covert, after his marriage, be-
came an evangelist of the Baptist faith.
OF magnificent ply ysique, splendid voice
and a native eloquence, which was rare
and pleasing, he gained a reputation as
platform orator. He was known in
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston. Kansas
City, Omaha and in smaller cities.
Mrs. Springer is perhaps so years Of
age She is still decidedly handsome.
Neighbors call her "dsshy" whatever
they mean. Mr.. Covert met her at 8
missionary meeting in BROOKLYN. and
since that time his attentions to her
have been marked. People told Mrs.
Covert of this, but she had faith in her
husband.
An expressman called on Mrs. Covert
one afternoon and asked for Mrs
sprinser's trunks, saying they were to
be shipped TO Los Angeles, The express.
man said he had been directed to the
Covert house. Mrs. Covert obliginsly
directed the man to the widows resi-.
dence. That same afternoon the evan.
selists wife received the following let
ter:
Dear-l am going away, probably
TO Chicago. My love for you is dead,
ana will never return. 1t seems hard
that we should part thus, but the Lords

with you, but may the Lord ever

A MANIAC IN CHURCH.
An Armed Lunatic Created a Sensation
in Oakland.

An Armed Lunatic Created a Sensation
in Oakland.
Oakland, CAL, April 21.-Wildly
fourishing cleaning pistol over his
head, Lewis Pastor shouted when the
anarchists threw the bomb in the
French assembly," as be stood in front
of the pulpit of the First Unitarian
church this morning. There was a
stampede in the crowded auditorium,
and rush of men and women TO get
out of range of the weapon. a panic
was averted by the call for order from
cooler heads
That was the very sensational inter-
ruption that occurred almost immedi.
ately after the organ prelude at the
Unitarian house OF worship gave the
signal for the commencement of the
morning service. a roughly dressed
man walked up the aisle with his hat
on, and, fiourishing his revolver, com.
menced to shout, But the wildly dis
claiming speech maker was suddenly
cut of. From four corners of the
church four men rushed toward him.
They were John Yule, John P. Irish,
Sam Hall and David Bush. Each ip-
stinctively seized the t1our;shing arm
and grappled for the pistol. Some Of
the audience watched the struggle.
There was very lively bout. but the
weapon.wielder was presently over.
come, and little further time elapsed
before he was hustled out of the
church.
He was taken to Jail, where he gave
the name of Lewis Pastor. He said he
was laborer, homeless, and in need Of
assistance. Chief Lloyd ordered him
charged with carrying a concealed
weapon and disturbing a religions
meeting. The pistol was loaded in
every chamber. City Physician Nav.
one examined Pastor and pronounced
him insane.

MOVE BY MATABELES.
Hostile Natives Suddenly Disappear
Prom BuluwayO.

Buluwayo, April 2l.-So far as the
situation is improved here over that OF
yesterday, it is due 10 the departure of
the enemy. which has been massed TO
the north of the town for several days,
and from where an attack has been al
most hourly expected. This move
ment, however, brings little comfort to
those in Buluwayo The excited man
ner in which the natives quilted their
positions indicated confident purpose
of mischief. There is no evidence that
they were alarmed Friday at the
demonstration Of the patrol of "a men
from Buluwayo upon their vanguard.
Although this vanguard was driven
back upon the main body, the patrol
did not dare to place itself within reach
Of the overwhelming numbers of the
main body.
The direction taken by this great
body Of hostile natives, after quitting
the position TO the north, has not been
learned. But it is feared the purpose
of the movement is TO try to effect a
junction with the rebels in the Matop-
po hills, and thus sever communica-
tion TO the southwark. The road runs
through the Matoppo hills TO the south
Of Buluwayo, and it is a difficult and
dangerous Une lUr 90 miles from mere,
at which distance the road reaches the
Mangwe pass. This angular and pre-.
cipitous defile, it is felt, must be held.
1t is Of such a character that it can be
made impIegnable against the attacks
Of native warriors. But for the same
reason, if allowed TO get into the hands
of the natives it would be extremely
difficult, and perhaps impossible, to
dislodge them with any force at present
available. To leave this pass to the
enemy would effectually cut of the
intercourse Of Buluwayo with the out.
side world. To hold the pass and to
patrol the road between it and Bulu-
wayo, measures which are felt to be
imperatively necessary for the safety Of
this place, requires large proportion
of the available force, less than
thousand men, in Buluwayo.
The threatened movement of the
enemy upon the line of communication
perplexes the authorities with the prob.
lem of how far can they further denude
Buluwayo of its fighting force to guard
the road. The lack of certainty as to
the whereabouts and immediate des.
tination Of the great mass of natives,
moving so near the town, causes much
dread and anxiety.
