Bradistrect's Notes Sound Some Unfavor.
able and Favorable Features.
NEW YORK, May 9-Dradstreet's says:
Relatively unfavorable features of the
general business situation this week in
clude unseasonably cool weather, which
at some centers has checked trade; con-
tinued surplus stocks Of cotton, which
dcpress prices and bring idle machinery
in the wooden goods industry; a falling
off in demand for lumber at st. Louis
and Minneapolis, and continued dullness
in iron and steel where, although mills
and furnaces are fairly active, there is q
continued absence of new orders.
The favorable side Of the picture in
cludeS q marked increase in the total vol
ume Of bank clearings. a longer list of
staples for which quotations have ad-
vanced, almost uniform and unexpected
ly improved prospects for cereal and cot
son crops, and a reflection of the more
confident feeling as to the autumn's bust
ness in an improved demand throughout
the territory supplied by St. Louis,
Kansas City, Omaha, st. Paul. Mime
apolis, Milwaukee, Duluth and Sioux
Falls.
There are e67 business failures reported
throughout the United States this week,
rs compared with 254 last week, 22i in the
week one year ago. 1873 In the first week Of
May, 1884. and rs 219 in the corresponding
week OF 1893 There are thirty-eight bust.
ness failures reported from the Dominion
Of Canada this week, against twenty-six
last week. twenty-seven in the week one
year ago, and thirty two years ago.

Quotes Trumbull a. Saying ave Are in
the Hands of the Money Power"
CINCINNATI, May s-Eugene V. Debs.
at the invitation of the Central Labor
Council, addressed an audienc &C that filled
Robinson's Opera House last night. He
was given an ovation. Referring to Ly-
man Trumbull defending him in the su.
preme court he said that Trumbull told
him he had offered an abstract of his dc.
tense to the press and it would not carry
1t, whereupon Trumbull said: I'VE are
in the hands of the money power"
Mentioning the two famous orders of
Judge Jenkins, of Milwaukee, in refer
ence to the employees of the Northern
Pacific railway, he ssid: 'If justice were
done that judge he would be wearing
stripes today" He qualified his structures
on judges Of the United States courts by
saying there were many good, honest
judges, chief among whom was Judge
Caldwell. Otherwise his address was
very conservative. 1t included history
of the Pullman strike and the Chicago
riot and an arraignment Of corporations.

THE QUESTION OF rrEsrAss



How II Il viewed By . Couple az U.ifsd
States Court Judges.
CHICAGO, May 9-Maria Cahill won out
on the most important part Of her case
against ths Chicago Milwaukee and ST.
Paul railroad before the United States
circuit court Of appeals. She il the young
woman who lost both feet in an accident
in the stock yards, aud for whom Juror
Julius B. Clayton told Judge Seaman he
would rather "go to Jail until he should
rot" than to render q verdict for the rail-
way. The trial took place during the sec
ond week in January Of ls95. On Jan. II
the court instructed the jury to bring q
verdict for the railroad company. One
juror after another arose In his seat and
announced that he could not do SO after
hearing the evidence. The court was sur.
prised and directed the jury to retire. II
returned with . verdict for e2& 600 in ia
vor OF Miss CahilL
Judge Seaman set aside the verdict and
directed the jury to return one for the
railroad company under protest. All Of
the twelve save Julius B. Clayton did so.
The railroad had shown that the young
woman had been in the habit of using the
tracks for short cut from Packers alley,
near Fortieth street, and the court held
her to be trespasser. Fhe appeal was
heard by Judges Woods, jenkins and
Grosscup. Yesterday the opinion of a di.
vided court was handed down, Judges
Wood and Grosscup finding in favor Of
the injured girl, and Judge jenkins dis
senting. The opinion Of the majority Of
the court was written by Judge Woods.
1t deals entirely with the ruling Of Judge
Seaman on the railroad crossing. holding
that to all iutents it was q public cross

certify to the wonderful and

which is selling faster than any
medicine We ever sold. People
who never traded at our store
have heard of it and come from
adjoining counties for it. One
ease in particular is that of Mrs.
Smith Woodbridge, of this place,
who was so afflicted with her
throat for over two years that
she conld not speak above il
whisper. After she used the
first bottle of DIR. Bells Pine
Tar Honey she could talk as
well as ever and the case is
such a wonderful cure that her
neighbOrS come in to see for
themselves and are astonished
to hear her talk.

Aet. strange TO say. quite a
number of the papers of this

statement to an extent which
indicates that some people are
a great deal more credulous

Association couldn't be so
ignorant of the demands of
prOpriety: so blind to public
opinion, so destitute to reason
and discretion.
The truth is, Dabney Marshall
was not elected viee-president
at the recent meeting OF the
Alumni. At the last years
meeting, when he was in good
standing, he was elected vice
president. This year, when the
Association met, the minutes of
the last meeting was called for,
and, as Marshalrs election was
recorded in those minutes as a
