New York, May 2l -Bradstreet's
to morrow will say: The slight i'm
provement in trade is in the tendency
of business to increase in few cities
in the Northwest, on the Pacific coast
and in South Atlantic Gulf States.
There is increased buying at Balti-
more, Atlanta. Birmingham; and New
Orleans. where trade has revived on
the announcement that the Northern
Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas
flooded districts are being placed un-
Ger cultivation and that the damage
done is less than expected There
are increased sales at Milwaukee,
Omaha, Chicago and St Louis. and
exports of general merchandise and
lumber from San Francisco have in
creased Advices from California are
the lack of seasonable rains, and long
continued dry winds have injured the
wheat and fruit crops Large Eastern
centres report the movement of mer-
chandise slow and trade dul! The
season is SO far advanced that no
general gain is looked for till after

The usual industries, notably cloth
ing. mining. iron and steel and manu-
facturers OF woolens are we'll stocked
with raw material, but owing to slow
ness of orders prices are easier.
Makers of cotton goods are at dis
advantage, owing to the relatively
high price Of cotton and the increase
in production of products There is
no gain in demand for iron and steel,
prices for which continue low. The
report that the steel rail, billet and
wire nail makers are seeking to form
pool to advance prices is not con-
frmed

SPECIAL 10 The State.
Charleston, May 81 president j..
II. Dosher of the Germania Brewing
company was shot this afternoon by
Dispenser J. B. Hyer. The shooting
took place at the brewery about dark
and was the result Of quarrel. One
word brought on another and the
matter finally eliminated when Dos
her knocked Hyer down, the latter
pulling his pisto! and firing as he was
falling The ball entered Dosher's
leg.
Eyer is the dispenser attbe brew
cry and has supervision over all beer
that goes out and conducts the place
generally 1t is known that bad
blood has been existing between the
two for some time and to-day's affair
is not in the nature of surprise to
those conversant with brewery af
fairs Dosher refused to be seen to-
night Several visits to Hyer's resi-
dence elected the response that he
was OUT Mrs. Hyer significantly
stated to The States representative
that, "Mr Hyer is a very consclen-
tious man and will not do many things
that other men resort to in business
affairs This is probably clue to
the origin of the bad feeling between
the men.

the fact that he will, by operation of

the first day of June next, and of lis
appeal to the executive for clemency,

Messrs. George NJ. Rumph and R
N. Hayne represented Mir. L c.
Riggs, whose election was being
contested, while Gen. Stopplebein
acted for himself As contestant,
Gen Stopplebeim opened by ap-
noucing his grounds of contest,
which were to the effect that at
Ridgeville and other precincts fraud
had been perpetuated by increasing
Riggs vote and decreasing his. Gen
stopplebein read mber of afida-
Wits in support of what be said. lie
then went on to charge that MIR.
Riggs was aware of the vote being
changed. He produced the poll
sheet and showed that certain men
whose names were on it aud who
were alleged to have voted did not,
and bearing out this statement he
read afidavlts from some Of the men
Gen Stopplebeim challenged Mr.
Riggs to prove that he himself had
voted, Notwithstanding that his name
was on the poll sheet as having
voted. He offered good number of
papers and affdavits in evidence.
Mr. George M 2urnph opened for
Mr.. Riggs. He made the point that
the evidence introduced by Gen.
Stopplebein could not be considered
by the executive commiate, as it was
sitting as court Of appeal and this
was after discovered evidence
Mr. r n. Hayne followed SIr.

stopplebeim He read counter aft
davits, and before concluding an
swered fully the contestant. At one
point of his speech he got rather
warm and declared if he said any
thing offensive to Gen. Stopplebein
he was ready to settle with him at
any time and place.
After considerable flibustering the
question ef calling on Mr Riggs to
answer the charge Of Gen. Stop
plebein of not having voted, was
discussed. MIR. Riggs representa-
tive opposed his being called on to
answer the question
Finally the executive committee
passed the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
the executive committee that no
nomination was made for Judge of
probate Of Dorchester county under
the rules of the Democratic primary
election. and that Mr.. j. T. Stop
plebein has as much right to stand
for election at the general election as
MIR L G. Riggs or anybody else
This ended the contest, and the
committee adjourned without action
of any sort Oh the death Of Senator

An Architectural warming.

The New York Herald wonders if the
metropolis is going to furnish food for
such satire as The Cliff Dwellers," a
novel illustrating life in the sky-scraping
structures of Chicago. THE Cliffs are
the huge preCipiceS Of houses which make
some Of the streets of the Lake City mere
rayincs.' The Herald observes that
some of the highest authorities have con-
demned this class of buildings ON account
OF danger from fire, and to health, and
that while it cannot be said that they Will
collapse. it Is too early in our experience
with them to say that they cannot.
Washington is fortunate in having elbow
room enough 10 postpone the general intro
duction OF cloud penetrating cdifices, at
least until their safety and utility have
been fully tested elsewhere. By that
time, possibly, their undue multiplication
may he prevented by taxing people for
the sky as wei as for the ground they
occupy.
