Paris Clear of the Rocks.

London, July 12.-The American line
steamer Paris is now clear of the rocks.
The salvage crews have moved her
astern for distance of $50 yards, and
have shifted the vessels position slight
ly to the eastward. The intention Of
the salvagers was simply to slew the
stern of the liner, so as to facilitate the
operations of the divers, but it was
found that she moved more freely than
was expected. Three salvage boats
practically unaided removed her from
her critical position.
Falmouth, England, July 1S.-The
American line steamship Paris entered
the harbor safely shortly after mid
night. Preparations are being made to
beach her in the tide harbor.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Condition of Business for the Past
Week as Reported by
Dun's Agency.

New York, July 15.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: Because
every prospect pleases, it is the right time
to watch most closely for signs of trouble.
But it is not easy to find them when the
volume of business is 63.7 per cent. larger
than last year and 75.5 larger than in 1892,
the best of all years except the last, or
when failures continue the smallest ever
known, or when the exports of staples be-
gin to improve materially, or when rail-
road business is by far the best ever
known, or when New York bankers appear
in international operations, listening to
Russian inquiry and undertaking a Mex
lean loan. Even the industrial disputes in
cident to the season cause less trouble
than usual, the largest of them having been
settled Thursday by the tin plate COM
pany. The Bank of England finds it diff
hcult to borrow more from this side and
frankly raises its rate, while this country
begins to ship fresh crops for which Europe
will run into debt.
Failures for the week have been 1863 in
the United States, against 215 last year, and
"a in Canada, against % last year.

He LIVES IN LUXURY.
Yet Albert Crosby Files a Petition
in Bankruptcy-Says Every
thing Is His Wife's.

New York, July 12.-Albert Crosby,
of Brewster, Mass, and formerly rich
and prominent in Chicago, where he
owned Crosby's opera house and the Nc
Avoy Brewing company, was examined
in bankruptcy proceedings here Tues
day. in his petition he described his
assets as consisting of few old clothes.
He lives in handsome home on Cape
Cod. Mrs. Crosby testified that she
owns the estate at Brewster, has $780,
600 cash in bank, mortgages for 100000
more, real estate valued at $4,000 and
furniture and paintings valued at $12,-
600, besides her claim for S50, 900 against
Mr.. Crosby for advances made by her
to him from time to time. Mr.. Crosby
said he had owned nothing since 1875,
when he gave his all to his wife. Since
then he has lived by borrowing from
her, he asserts. They usually spend the
winters abroad and the summers at
Brewster.
Mr.. Crosby was on the bond of David
A. Gage, city treasurer of Chicago, who
defaulted in a very large sum. By buy
ing timber lands and making barrels
in Indiana Mr.. Crosby contracted debts
of 100000 in that state. Judgments
were obtained against him in Indiana,
and the city of Chicago also got judg-
ment for 100000. 1t was found that he
had no assets.

THREE CENT FARES.
Plan to Gain Adherents to Pingree's
Scheme of Municipal Ownership
of DetrOit's Street Cars.

Detroit, Mich, July 15.-"Three-cent
fares" are announced on the fronts of
Detroit street cars in the places where
amusement advertising signs are usu-
ally carried. This sudden voluntary
reduction is the result of a decision of
Gov. Pingree and Tom L. Johnson to
give the people an object lesson upon
what they may look forward to, if pres
ent plans for the sale of all the Detroit
street railways to the Detroit Munic-
ipal Railway company in behalf of the
city win out. The three-cent tickets
sold Friday at five for Is cents are so
worded that their use in full payment
OF fare can be Withdrawn at any time.
The city is in furore over the pres
ent situation. All newspapers and
nearly all the more prominent citizens
are opposing the Pingree plan, and it is
now claimed that the majority of cit
liens oppose it, on the ground that
three-cent fares and quasi municipal
ownership will fail to pay the expenses
and the $17,000,000 proposed to be paid
for the roads; and that they will, if
purchased, revert to the present OWL

The Beet Sugar Factory.

Work has already been commenced
at the beet sugar factory at st. Louis

is now employed. The entire forty
acres of land included in factory
grounds will be filed in. A new arte-
sian well LOCO feet deep has just been
completed. Two large tanks with
capacity of $50. 900 gallons each will be
erected to store the refuse syrup until
1T can be shipped east to be used in the
manufacture of alcohol. The company
hopes to build distillery of its own
next year so that all the by-products
can be made use of at home. The
plant will be given thorough over
hauling and will be put in frst-class

arrive in sufficient numbers to warrant
its operation. The prospects are
bright for big crop this year and it is
expected that the factory will be
started by the first of September and
