CAUGHT RED HANDED.
PAIR OF BURGLARS SURROUND
ED AND TAKEN AT WORK.

ED AND TAKEN AT WORK.
For some little time Mrs. Cabler and
her employees have been missing goods
in considerable quantities from their
bakery on Bank street. but no good
clue to the robbers or their methods had
been secured, though suspicion fell on
former employe in the bakery. In the
meantime eggs. butter, sugar. flour,
lard, &c, continued to disappear, and
Saturday night the losses were partic-
ularly heavy.
The police were informed and de-
tectives set at work to capture the
thieves.
Last night. at about 1880. 1t was dis
covered by the sleuths that work was
going on, and securing q number of po-
lice the place was surrounded, and De-
tectives Childress and West entered and
turned on the lights. catching the rob-
bers in the full tide of their work. They
at first acted as il about TO show fight,
but changed their minds and started to
make break. when, seeing they were
surrounded. they yielded and were
taken in.
They proved to be Thos Green, the
suspected man, and John King, a con-
federate, both colored and both
strangers to the police. Green halls
from West Virginia. and King from
Virginia.
The amount stolen is heavy. and but
for their arrest last night would have
been much larger, as they were get
ting a big lot ready for removal.
Officers Mayo. Caprio, Freeman and
Riddif< assisted In the capture.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
4

NEW YORK, August 11.-R- G. Dun
d Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
After great expansion business hesi-
tates. inis year it is astonishing that
the hesitation has been so slight. In
one branch after another buying has
halted, only to be followed by larger
buying.
The output of iron furnaces in blast
August 1st was 2s9.052 tons weekly,
COS per cent. more than in 1892 and -
per cent. more than last year. With a
decrease of 27 1867 tons in unsold stocks,
nearly hall in charcoal iron, the appar-
ent consumption and exports to not
exceed 1,210,744 tons, which barely
equals the lowest report OF production
August 1st and other furnaces have
started since that date with several
more to follow. The supply appears
to be at least equal to the demand. al
though new demands for the week have
covered 2,100 tons for new buildings at
Chicago, with much for bridges, and
40G0 tons for eastern buildings at
Pittsburg. In bars both east and west
the mills are unable TO take all orders
offered, nor in plates can they take all
orders anywhere. while in sheets the
western mills oyercrowded, though the
eastern demand is higher.
The COnnellsville coke output is
again 1872, 556 tons for the week, with
only $50 ovens idle, and prices are I'M
changed. Tin, following London, has
risen to &c, but fallen to s31.S5 cents,
and copper is hard to get at 1S1ac fer
10 &c or Si IN n Gi eA
Sole leather has slightly advanced with
buff and split, but the convention OF
boot and shoe manufacturers proposes
to advance prices, though without de-
finite authority. New orders are now
in some lines larger than the works
can accept, though in many others
more moderate and not exceeding half
the output. Chicago reports hides
slightly lower for packers, but shade
higher for country buff and heavy
cows.
Wheat receipts at the west have
been S,652,579 bushels in two weeks,
against 5,645,960 bushels last year maxi
ing it hard to believe the unfavorable
crop estimates which still come for
ward from unofficial and official
sources. The exports have slackened,
amounting to only 6.269.133 bushels,
-four included, from Atlantic ports,
against 5,945,311 last year, and from
Pacific ports, 100000 bushels, against
924,155 last year, other exports being
457,2SS bushels. Corn exports were in
two weeks 7,975,599 bushels, against
4,743,76 last year, but receipts continue
enormous in two weeks S,S39,91 bush
els against 6,479, 176 last year. Contra
dictory stories about foreign crops
weigh but little compared with the ac-
tual buying of grain and movement
from the farms. The truth seems to
be that the supply of wheat in the
spring wheat region is larger than any
body has supposed.
Failures for the week have been 1856
in the United States, against 1876 last
year, and 20 in Canada against IS last
year.

THE KLONDIKE KING.
Said to Have Suffered Eeverscs That Make
Him a Bankrupt.

Him Bankrupt.
CHICAGO, August ia special TO
the Times Herald from San Francisco
says:
Alexander Mcdonald, king of the
Klondike, has failed. His liabilities
are estimated at s6,0OO,0OO. His assets
are of uncertain value.
In his formal declaration of insol-
vency, filed at Dawson, July 20, Nc
Donald states his liabilities to be ap-
proximately s6000,OO0. while there is
no way to fully compute his assets,
as his investments are of largely prob
lematical value AS they will have to
be sacrificed, Mcdonald himself says
there will not be enough to go around,
although he believes their ultimate
value will prove $2O,O0O,000 at least.
When Mcdonald went to England a
few months ago to organize syndicate
to control the transportation and pro-
vision business of the far north, he left
his affairs in the hands of incompetent
agents.
On his return creditors made de-
mands which he could not meet. Be-
fore going to the Klondike, Mcdonald
prospected in Colorado.

Congress Asked to Revise the Law.
CHICAGO, Ill, August ia spec
ial to the Record from Denver, Colo,
says: Shortly before midnight the
National Association of Railroad Com
missioners adopted a resolution recon-
mending the next congress to revise the
Interstate Commerce law upon the
suggestion made by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in its last report.
The resolution, which was prepared by
the Committee on Legislation, was
adopted without discussion. Immedi-
ately upon the adoption Commissioner
Osborne, of Michigan, vigorously pro-
tested against the action on the ground
that the matter had not been properly
discussed.
Spirited discussion followed, but it
effected no change.
