AT 0'BRIEN'S.


 Peter F. Daily and Miss Flora Irwin, with an exceedingly clever company were greeted by a fairly large audience at O'Briens last night, though the au- dience was not nearly so large as the performance warranted.
 MT. Daily is to be congratulated on the make of his company for this season, as there could not be found among them one objectionable or incapable person.
 The play presented is entitled "A Good Thing" and judging from the continued applause and many curtain calls the au- dience surely thought 1t was worthy of being Pushed, Along"
 The cast was so evenly balanced that 1t would be unfair to say pleasant word for one without mentioning all.
 The specialties were clean cut and of a pleasing order and Miss Irwin's topical songs were clever. while the quartette was above the average.
 To sum it up Mr .Daily's show is. "A Good Thing" and the public, wherever they go, should Push 1t Along" 4

AN UGLY CASH
Upon the Check of a Negro Caused Three
 Arrests by Police Officers.

Upon the Check of Negro Caused Three
 Arrests by Police Officers.
 At o'clock yesterday afternoon an affray that came near resulting fatally, took place on First avenue near Twen- ty second street. As in all affairs of this kind, several stories as to the why's and wherefores are being told. One story was to the effect that negro named Will Barber was very drunk and smashed window pane Potts bar on Twenty-fourth street. The flying glass struck Tom McCabe, who hastened out side and began demonstrating with the negro.
 The other story and the one upon which the police officers based their charges, alleges the story as follows; Tom McCabe, a well known young white man around the city, whose home is in Avondale, and several other white men were enjoying some music on the inside of a bar when Will Barber, the negro, entered and began an a1tercation. Words followed thick and fast and the negro, it is said, struck at or hit McCabe and ran with the latter in hot pursuit
 At this point the story conflicts again as some persons allege that the negro fired four shots at his pursuer, while others disclaim any knowledge of such an occurrence. At any rate no firearms were found. The pursued and pursuer ran up First avenue when McCabe over took the negro and inflicted severe wound with knife. The cut ranges from the right nostrl across and to the center of the right cheek. The negro bled profusely and was taken to the Emergency hospital at the city prison where Dr. Wilder sewed up the gaping cut. Dr. Wilder pronounced the wound as not dangerous and Barber was placed in jail on a charge of assault and bat tery with intent to kill.
 Officer Patton arrested the negro and turned him over to Officers Newman and Mu1lin. Later on Officer Patton arrested Tom McCabe, but the young man made the necessary bond and was not locked up His charge is assault and battery with knife.
 Several hours later, in the early part of the night, Officer Mullin arrested an- other young white man and placed him under bond for aiding and abetting in an affray. It is alleged that the last man handed McCabe the knife that was used after the negro had been caught near Twenty-second street. Officer Mullin, be- ingon some special work, could not be seen regarding the name of this man and other information

A BIG SHORTAGE
Discovered In the Funds of Great Falls, Mont, Bank, and Temporary Clos
 ing of Doors Necessarily Followed.

Great Falls, Mont, Feb. 5.-rhe North western National bank, of this city, failed to open its doors this morning, and it is said that the directors have discovered dedication of about S27,00O. The cashier is R. D. Hatcher. The Northwestern had capital of $250, 900 and an advertised surplus of $50O0O. Thomas Couch, G. M. Hyams, Frank Kleptko and other promi- nent stockholders in the Boston and Mon tana, and Butte and Boston Mining com- panies are members of the board of di- rectors of the bank, and w. c. Conrad, a Great Falls capitalist, is president Of the institution.
 The trouble arose out of recent sale of stock, whereby the Conrad Brothers disposed of holdings to R. D. Hatcher. who claimed to represent eastern parties. The purchase money, amounting to some $180 000, was paid to the Conrads, and was supposed to come from Hatcher clients. Nothing further was known of sthe matter until 1t was discovered that S177, ,0O0, which the Northwestern bank had in the Globe National bank, of Bos- ton, had disappeared. The transfer of the money from the Globe National to a New York bank was known to the di- rectors, but Hatcher had said that offi- cials of that bank were among the pur- chasers, and it was supposed that the money transferred came from them. Last night President Conrad arrived from Boston and related the condition of affairs as far as the Globe National was concerned The Northwestern books show a credit there of $177,000, while the Globe National books show small over- draft. At meeting of the directors held last night 1t was decided to close the bank pending an investigation. The last statement of the bank shows deposits, $597, ,394 assests, about s750,000. The bank officers say there is no doubt but that depositors will be paid in full. There is no trouble in other banks so far

MAY BE ALLOWED TO DIE OUT,

Washington, Feb 5.-There are no new developments at the postoflice depart ment concerning the alleged periodical stamp" robbery. The chief postoffice in- spector is still Investigating the matter. The probabilities are that the affair will be allowed to die slowly. It is apparent that the postoffice inspectors who made the arrest have made a mistake. It is stated that the proofs of stamps, as they are said to be, found in Coleman's pos session. are fifteen years out of date, and are legitimate articles of traffic among stamp dealers and collectors: also that Coleman understood this and his refusal to go into detailed explanation of his pos- session of such quantity of the proofs as was found upon him, was simply matter of business.

DUN & CO.'S. TRADE REVIEW
Business SIN Much Below FunI Years
Il PnspsrIij.
SHARP INCREASE IN COMMERCIAL LOANS.
Present Demands not Equal 70 Xxx
pectatlons Of Cotton Manufacturers
Demand for Cotton and Corn not
Much Help to Spectators.

r. G. Dun & Cos. weekly review Of
trade rays: Though steadily increas-
ing, business is still much below its
volume in former years Of prosperity
and many express disappointment
Yet there is some gain every week,
with more hands at work and more
mills in operation, and the result, large
purchasers for consumption, cannot be
long delayed. In some branches it is
felt already; there is large distribution
Of finished goods and the demand for
commercial loans has sharply increased,
especially in dry goods and the iron
and steel branches.
While manufacturers Of cotton goods
are looking forward with much conf
dence, the present demand is not equal
to expectations, nor has the curtail-
ment in production Of print cloth ac-
complished the desired change in con-
dition. The buying Of wool, mainly
Of a speculative character in expecta-
tion Of new duties, continues remark
ably large. Sales at the three chief
markets for the past week we're 10, 791,-
900 pounds and for three weeks have
been %, 795, 800 pounds, Of which 16,-
628, 200 were domestic, whereas, the
largest transactions in any previous
year at this season were 17,105,S
pounds in the corresponding weeks Of
1862, Of which 1856. 626 we're do
mestic. No great increase has yet ap-
peared in the demand for goods, al
though a few more mills have found
enough orders 10 start, perhaps in part
anticipating q future demand. The
expectation Of new duties does not yet
influence the good markets, as might
be expected. The demand for wheat
and corn has not given much help to
speculation.
The cotton market has also been al
most hfeless and while the price has
gained a small fraction, the narrow
ness Of demand here and abroad has
IFS natural influence. Reports about
the coming crops are interesting, as
usual to spectators.
Failures for the week have been 2I6
in the United States, against 261 last
year and 80 in Canada, sgainst 40 last
year.
