The Trade Review.


Bradstrcet's streets; While the gen
eral trade movement is somewhat irfeg-
ular and there are further evidences OF
falling off in demand and volume, bust
ness continues of large proportions.
Unreasonable warm weather has in
terfered with the movement of heavy
goods at the west, but rains in Kansas.
Oklahoma and Nebraska have improved
thu 3gl cultural outlook. Relatively the
gre"test activity in trade is reported from
Kansas City and Omaha merchants.
While quarantine regulations have been
raised in Texas and modified in Louis
lana, business throughout most of the
gulf states is practically at a standstIll
Speculation in wool has ceased and
demand for the staple is less than ior
weeks past. Cotton goods are duh on
the weakness OF raw cotton and jobbers
report dry goods slower thru week age.
Interior merchants in the central west
have not distributed fall stocks as
promptly as expected, and many Job
bers at western centers find that they
overestimated the consumptiye demand
when securing fall goods.
Almost all the large eastern cities re-
port decreased movement OF merchan-
disc and a tendency OF collections to fall
away, notably Baltimore, owing to its
southern connections. The industrial
situation continues 70 fyrnish employ
ment to as many persons as at any pre-
ceding period this year and at higher
wages.

VIII Not Prevent Him From Taking Part
in the inaugural Proceedings.
Washington, March 9.-When it was
announced yesterday that Mr.. Cleve-
land was again suffering from an attack
of rheumatic govt, considerable appre-
hension was felt that he would not be
able TO take part in the inaugural cere-
monies, but the report from the White
House this morning is very reassuring
and without there is a recurrence Of
his attack of Wednesday night, Mr..
Cleveland will be fully able to dis
charge the duties assigned for him for
tomorrow.
The pain in his right foot has some
what subsidized and as a consequence he
passed a fairly comfortable night, and
this morning he feels in good condition.
With the exception of half an hour
spent in his call upon Major Mchin-
ley at the Ebbitt, he has occupied the
entire morning in the examination Of
bills which from time to time are sent
TO him from the capitol and it is pro-
bable that a good part of the night will
be spent in the same way.

rnr snrrH SIDE MYsrERY.


1t would appear to be the duty Of the
county authorizes to make prompt,
full and thorough investigation of the
fire at the boarding house of Mrs. Far
rel. No. 2910 Chapline street, in which
John Henderson and his son, Percy,
lost their lives.
To be sure, the ordinary mind can
not conceive of a sufficient motive to
induce any human being TO fire a
dwelling house in which number of
people were asleep; yet there is no
doubt that this very crime was COM
mitted. at the Weisgerber residence,
less than a month ago, and kerosene
oil was then used, as it was used at
the Farrell fire.
Let us examine the evidence tending
TO show incendiarism.
A can of oil was purchased the day
before the fire. five lamps were filled
from it, and the can, still half full Of
oil was left on the porch. The morn
ing after the fire there was very little
oil in it, and the can had been filled up
with water.
That oil was poured on the floor Of
the room occupied by Henderson, his
son and Brady, there cannot be the
slightest doubt. Fragments of wood
taken from the floor where it was
charred by the fire, smell very strongly
Of kerosene.
The lamp in the room did not ex-
plode. and was intact, after the fire,
at the farther side of the room.
The fire evidently did not start in the
bed, but on the floor.
The fire was not at the head of the
bed, where it would have started, had
it been caused by Henderson or his son
smoking, but at the foot
The pipes belonging to the dead man
and boy were on the mantle, away from
the bed.
When Brady went to bed, not long
before the fire, there were no signs OF
fire. and Henderson and his son were
in bed.
That Henderson and his son were
sound asleep when the fire started, is
shown by the fact that they were fatal
" burned. They could not have been
thus burned had they been awake, in
any fire save one caused by an ex-
plosion
Bradys escape is probably owing to
his being a light sleeper, or not hav-
ing had time to fall into as profound
slumber of the Hendersons.
The door of the room was unlocked,
and any one conversant with the prem
Uses could enter without disturbing the
sleeping men.
These are the facts as they appear
after a thorough unofficial examination.
They surely call for an official enquiry,
Will the authorities act? Or does it
REQUIRE something more than the burn
ing TO death of two human beings to
start such an enquiry in Wheeling?

THE INAUGURAL BALL
President Mckinley and Mrs. Mckinley
Will BE There. But VIII Not Dance.


Washington, d. c., March 3.-The
inaugural ball tomorrow night closes
the celebration. The pension building
has been goregously decorated. The
ball proper opens with the arrival OF
the President at $50, and as he enters
with Mrs. Mckinley and the Presiden-
tial party, the full Marine band will
announce it with the opening march.
After disposing Of their wraps, the
President, with Mrs. Mckinley, will
make the tour of the ball room, leading
the grand promenade, retiring to apart
ments set aside for his use and there
receive few friends and the most
distinguished guests. Vice President
Hobart will accompany the President
to the ball, this arrangement having
been made TO facilitate the reception
of the privileged guests. AS he mas
not fully recovered from his recent at
tack of grip, Mr.. Mckinley will torego
the pleasure of shaking hands.
The great crush usually makes dane
ing an impossibility until the crowd
has been reduced.
