Products.
NEw York. Aug. 14.-R, G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review OF trade says:
Every city reporting this week notes
increase ia trade aud nearly all bright
crop prospects. The great change in
bushes, is emphasized By the pres
! ence Of Il multitude of buyer, from all
part, Of the country, by their state
meuts Of the situation at their homes,
and more forcibly yet by the heavy
purchases they are making.
But the customary signs Of prosper
ity are not lacking. Tho strong rise
ia stocks, the growth Of bank clear
ings and railroad earnings, the heavy
speculation in many products, but
most Of all in wheat, have made the
week one Of surprising interest even
to those who best remember the up
ware rush in 1879.
At the principal clearing houses
throughout the country payments in

larger than IN 1892, and Ito per cent.

THEY CAME TO BLOWS.

A Long-stand!ng Quarrel Between Rival
iiiinoi- Towns For Possession of Head
quarters OF the Modern woodmen OF
America Results in a Hand-to-ftand
Conflict In Which Many Are Seriously
Injured.
FULroS. H., Aug. 1.-THE long
standing fight between this town and
Rock Island, H., for the location of
the headquarters Of Modern Noodinen
of America, eliminated Yesterday in a
hand-to-hand fight between scores of
partisans Of the respective towns in
which a number OF persons were seri-
ously injured.
The contest between the two towns
dates back several years. At the recent
convention of the order held at Du-
buqur, la. it was decided to move the
offices and books of Head Clerk Halves
10 Rock Island. Then there was a luli,
but the factions were by no means re-
conciled. Those who are DESTROYS of
having the headquarters retained in
this city applied to the courts for an
injunction restraining their removal.
a temporary injunction was granted
and the controversy went over until
the fall term OF court. This was not
the first time the courts have been
called upon to intercede between the
warriEr towns. The slow process of
law vas not satisfactory to the Rock
Islanders, 50 they determined to take
the matter into their w hands.
Yesterday a party was made up n the
city by the Mississippi and plans were
made for Il raid ON the Fulton head
quarters with the object of forcibly
taking possession of the books, records,
etc, OF the order and removing the
Office Of Head Clerk HAYES t. Rock
Island.
A train was chartered, consisting Of
three coaches, a baggage ear and two
box ears, and the invaders were soon
on their way to Fulton.
The inhabitants OF the latter town
we're ~forewarned, however. and made
ready to give their unlnyited guests 4
warm reception. \ fire alarm was
sohudcd and lines of hose were laid to
the points where it was thought the
Rock Islanders would be most likely
to dlScmbark.
The arrival Of the special train was
the signal for the ho&tilitics to begin.
There was intense feeling on both
sides and a great variety of weapons.

lowing casualties:
VIII Bennett, city m~arshalof Fulton,
