ACCUSED OF STEALING GAS.

Snspipe win the Frtsoner'o FIAT.
John Garrett of 231 West Sixty.second street
was held for trial on the charge of ~defrauding
the Consolidated Gas Company.by Magistrate
Pool in the West Fifty-fourth Street Court yes
terday. John J. Burke, a.collector employed by
the company, who made the COMPLAINT, said that
Garrett had had the use of gas without charge
by connecting the general service pipe of the
house and his fiat pipe with.a section Of sui
eide tube"
Garrett applied for gas some..time:ago and .
quarter-in-the-slot meter was placed in his fiat
1t was Burke's duty TO collect the quarters
from the meters in his district at the end OF
each month. He never found any money In
CARROTS meteor although there was evidence
that gas had been consumed. After trying
three different meters with no better results,
the gas company decided to remove CARROTS
name from the list of consumers and the third
meter was taken from the rooms. But that
made no difference in the illumination of the
Garrett. household, although there was no re-
sort to lSersoene, candles or pine knots.
He cheated me out OF gas week after week."
Burke said to Magistrate Pool, but we could
not, prove it until the other night, when Mr..
Miller, an inspector for the company, and my
self went to CARROTS home and found three gas
jets going full blast.
W investigated and found that the service
pipe had been tapped and connected with tho
piping for,that particular set Of rooms by q piece

Justice Lippincott Refuses TO Amend the Rec-
Ord-To Apply for n Reprieve.
Justice Lippincott in the Oyer and Terminer
Court in Jersey City yesterday denied the appli-
cation made on Monday last by Senator William
d. DAILY and Allan L. McDermott to amend tho
record in the case of Edward Clifford. who was
convicted of the murder Of William G. Watson,
division superintendent of the West Shore Rail-
road, and sentenced to be hanged on the 10th
inst. The contention of Clifford's counsel
was that the record did not show that
the defendant had been tried by a struck
jury, and the amendment was desired In
order that the legality of trying n homicide case
with n struck jury might be contested. Justice
Lippincott held that the character OF the jury
need not be described In the record. and in dis
missing the application said: The conclusion
Is, upon the merits or the matter. that the record
is n record according to the truth Of the case.
and should not be amended in any particular"
Lawyer Allan L.. McDermott will apply to Gov.
Voorhees, to-day for a thirty days %rcprieve for
Clifford. Tho only chance Clifford has now is in
an appeal to the United States Supreme Court,
which will be made in a few days.

THE MINING CONGRESS,
KENTUCKY THE FIRST STATE TO
NAME DELEGATES.
Strong Men Chossn-Gov. Steunen-
berg of Boise Will Send Repre-
sentatives-oregon Also In Line.

Governors of three states We're heard
from at mining congress headquarters
Yesterday in response to the official invi-
tation to appoint delegates. Governor
Bradley. of Kentucky. emphasized his
acceptance of the invitation by naming g
number of delegates-the first representa-
tives named. Oregon and Idaho advised
Secretary Johnson that those states Will
be represented
The Kentucky delegation includes
George W. Stone. OF Lexington: J. B..
Atkinson, of Darlington; J. Il. Smith. of
London: Thomas Duncan. Henry Esk-
ridge, Bonner Coleman. and Charles II.
Barnes of Louisville. a. p. WhitSe0. of
Artemus John {. Parker. of Parker S
Lake: Charles Nield, OF Graves county.
and Sic Rowland, of Pittsburgh. KY.
From these members OF the delegation
who are known here ii is inferred that
the governor has sent the best men in
the Bluegrass state for the occasion. Mr..
Atkinson has friends here; is one of the
best known mine operators of Kentucky,
has recently demonstrated the possibility
of successful gold mining in Georgia in
a property ne bought there. and less than
three months ago spent some time in
Montana examining properties for east
ern investors. The Louisville delegates
are known to q number of Salt Lake peo-
pie and the Kentuckians will find num-
Der of old acqualntances when they come
here.
Governor Steunenberg. writing from
Boise on April 9th. says: II am in receipt
of your communication of March 81 rela-
tive TO the international Mining congress
At the proper time [ shall appoint dele
cation to represent this state"
Speaking for the governor of Oregon,
his private secretary writes: Your let
ter of the 31st ultimo received in the

tend the International Mining congress to

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.
Rush of Spring Business About Over
In the West.

New York. April S.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
A sensible quieting of demand for
staple goods is perceptible in the
various detailed trade reports coming
to hand this week. At the east the
drift of matters affecting our for
eign relations has been such as to dis
courage new business, but this tend
ency has been considerably accentu-
ated by untimely cold weather. which
has checked the usual Easter demand
to a considerable extent. Reports from
the west are that heavy rush Of spring
business is about over and that orders
coming in now are OF filing in
character.
Here again reports OF unreasonable
weather are met with.
4 fairly good business is reported at
the south, but a Slight check to our
export trade is reported, growing out
of the raising of insurance rates con-
sequent on the disturbed foreign out
look. Frost is reported to have done
considerable damage to the peach and
other fruit crops of the south and to
early planted tobacco. A fairly salts
factory trade is represented at the
northwest.
Lake navigation is now open, and
anticipation is that a prosperous year
business VIII be done.
Rather less activity is noted in
most of the country's great staples.
Cotton goods have moved fairly well.
girghams especially being in excellent
demand and except for low grade
cottons, notably print cloths, which
have made a new low price record of
9 cents per yard this week, the situa-
ton is as favorable as could be ex-
pected. Wool is dull, rejecting I'M
certainty as to future business and
unsatisfactory margins of profit.
The iron trade continues to report
a large volume of business being done,
but it is becoming evident that this
is chiefly upon orders previously
booked
Engagements for future work have
diminished alike in number and
volume, particularly in the east, pend
ing the outcome of foreign complica-
lions.
A feature of trade at leading cities
