ENCOURAGING RETURNS.


New York, July 2.-The second quar-
ter OF the year closes with most en-
couraging returns to Dun eCo. Fall
ures have been little larger than in the
first quarter of the year, but the average
of liabilities defaulted to firms in busi-
ness and to exchanges through clearing
houses is smaller than in any year ex-
cept one of the past seven years.
The exports of wheat continue ex-
traordinary. During the week they have
been. -four included, 4,0O6.S9o bushels

last year. 1t is judged by experts that
about 30 percent OF the cotton manu-
factory machinery is now employed.
and yet the demand for goods is
Strengthening. The heavy stocks car
ried abroad indicate less than the usual
demand for goods there. as do the ship
ments from Great Britain. The de-
mand for wool has been almost wholly
confined to needs for orders in hand. and
yet there Is good reason to look for a
better demand for goods as soon as the
new season has opened. while with gov
ernment contracts more than the usual
proportion OF machinery is employed,
even at this dull season.

DISCOVERY BY EXAMINERS
Widow Laid Aside Her Weeds but
Drew the Stipend.
SHE RESISTED THE OFFICERS.
SHE RESISTED THE OFFICERS.

Boston, July 2.--Investigation by the
special pension examiners are causing
considerable agitation among those who
have been defrauding the department.,
and four arrests have been made within
the last four days. Eight examiners
have been engaged examining vouchers.
Ruth Warner, alias Holmes. of Flor
ence, Mass, about 40 years Of age, is the
latest victim. 1t Is claimed that at one
time she was the widow OF a soldier
named Holmes and had been drawing
q pension OF $12 per month. About one
year and a half ago she married. and
that marriage deprived her of the right
to continue to draw the pension; but 1t
is alleged she has continued to do so.
She was arraigned before United states
Commissioner Fiske and held In $500 for
the United States grand jury.
Some months ago, when the pension
examiners came across the name of Mrs.
Holmes on the pension list, they noticed
that she was continually changing the
address Of her pension remittance. One
time 1t would go to rrockton, then to
Campello, sometimes to Florence and
at other times to Eridgewater. This
seemed rather strange and an investl-
CATION was instituted. resulting In the
discovery that on the c5tn day OF Janu.
ary, 1897. Lucy w. Holmes, widow of
Private Henry 8. Holmes of the Third
Rhode Island infantry. drawing
widows pension of $12 a month, WIS
married to a man named Warner, who
lived at Florence and worked as ma
chinist at Leeds. Mass.
A warrant was sworn out few days
ago and the authorities started out
after Mrs. Warner. She had evidently
heard that they were coming. for she
led them lively pace across the state.
and Thursday afternoon was arrested
at Florence. The authorities say that
she resisted arres. and that they were
obliged TO force C. door In order to take
her into custody. At flrst. they declared,
she was defiant and denied the charges.
but on the way to Boston confessed
that she had done wrong that she
knew she had been doing wrong and
that on more than one occasion she
had determined TO give up her pension,
but the temptation was too strong and
she kept right on drawing a pension she
had no right to draw.
