REMAINS HAVE NOT
BEEN IDENTIFIED
Inquest Throws No Light on the Mys.
terious Suicide at Archibald.
TESTIMONY OF JOHN MlLLIMAN
He Gave the Deceased Ride in His
Wagon on Wednesday..Said That
His Home Was in Scranton and
That He Was Looking for Work.
Started in Direction Of Archibald.

Nothing new concerning the identity
of the man who sought death by poison
In field near Archibald, Wednesday,
developed at yesterdays inquest and
the only thing the jury could arrive at
was that the man had died from the
effects of laudanum taken with suicidal
intent
The inquest was held in Wagner's
hotel, Archibald. The only evidence
that threw any additional light on the
mystery was that given by John Milli-
man, storekeeper at the Ridge. He
identified the suicide as a man he had
overtaken and given a ride while driv-
ing home Wednesday. He told Milli-
man that his home was in Scranton,
that he had been in this country about
a year. and that he was going to Peck
vile to look for work. He did not give
his name.
When Milliman's store was reached
the stranger got down from the wagon
and walked up the road for a short dis
tance, returning, however, in few
minutes and sitting on the store porch
for about half an hour. He then start
ed towards Archibald. and that was the
last Milliman saw of him until he saw
his dead body in Lewis undertaking
establishment.
1t was learned yesterday that the pass
from the Wyoming Valley Traction
cOmpany's fare book No. 30.001 belonged
to Adam Wisknirski. If this man can
be found it is possible that he will be
able to tell who the suicide is. for it is
presumed that he gave him the fare
and that he knows him.
The poor authorities will take charge
of the remains

WEATHER EFFECTS TRADE
A Very Dull Week in Business CirC.,s.
Confidence in the Stock Market
Is Restored.

New York, Aug. l4.R. G.. Dun &
Company will say tomorrow in their
weekly review: The failures for the
week have been 29S in the United
States aginst 1856 last year. and &c In
Canada against 3S last year. An en-
traordinary spell of deadly hot weather
has affected trade throughout the
country, and in the east speculation
feeling was somewhat affected until
Thursday by apprehension of the pos
sible influence of the Bryan meeting.
With cooler weather there came also
on Thursday perception that the meet
ing would not affect business unfav-
Orably. But other conditions We're not
stimulating. According to government
reports the crops have sustained seri-
Gus injuries. Labor difficulties extend
and the closing Of establishments for
want of work and the refusal Of COM
mercial loans by banks. checked Oper-
ations in many branches of industry
and trade. The week. therefore, closes
as the last week did, with domestic
business unusually dull for the sea.

fidence in the stock market which be-
gan to appear on Monday. The aver.
age of sixty of the most active rail-
road stocks had fallen to $4O.S5 PEI

for the week, so that prices We're ac.
tually the lowest in seventeen and one
half years, since the first month afte,
specie resumption. Trust stocks had
also declined $2.7S for the week. There
was some selling by foreign houses,
but far more important factor was
the general feeling of capitalists and
investors here that it might not vet
be the best time to buy. Men of more
confidence put up prices a little on
Tuesday and still more on Thursday,
so that the week closed with an ad.
