CHEERFUL TRADE REPORTS


Mary ESidences OF Prosperity For
the Coming Year.
New York, Dec. 9.-R. @. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says: The
approach of q new year usually brings
80 much Of hesitation in business that
the small shrinkage this year is sur
prising. Probably never before have
the productive forces of the country
been so largely covered by contracts
at this date. ensuring employment and
profit far into the coming year. This
results not from any mere speculative
excitement, but from actual demands
for consumption running far beyond
the producing capacity heretofore, and
pushing 1t to remarkable expansion.
The increase In foreign trade has been
insignificant compared with the in
crease of $4,000, 100000 In payments
through clearing houses. For the week
the payments have been 20.3 per cent
larger than last year and 1871 per cent
larger than In 1892.
Bradstreets review says: The last
month of the year has opened aus
piciously, finding trade and industry
generally well employed. demand
treading close upon and even passing
supply. labor troubles averted in some
instances by widespread advances in
wages, Of small importance except in
one or two cities, and with the general
level Of values of staples at the high
est point reached for eight years past
Holiday demand has opened well. and
collections from retail trades, there
fore, show some improvement.

A Murder Mystery Cleared.

Omaha, Dec. 9.-The wife of Fred
Laue has made a confession which
clears up the Odessa, Neb., murder
mystery. She declares that Dinsmore
first poisoned his wife in the rooms
Of the couple up stairs. He then went
into an adjoining room where Laue
was sleeping and shot him, killing him
instantly. After shooting Laue Dins-
more brought the body of his dead
wife down into the kitchen and left
it where 1t was found by the neighbors.
The motive for the crime was infatua-
tion for Mrs. Laue. She afflrms that
Dinsmore was gifted with hypnotic
power, and that, under its power, she
did as he directed. To prevent a
threatened lynching Dinsmore has
been taken to North Platte.

Joint resolution reeiting the charges
growing out OF the presence OF United
States troops under Brigadier General
Merriam at the centers Of mining
trorbles In Idaho, and asking fer an
investigation by q special committee
Of nine members. to be appointed by
the speaker. The resolution says that
1t is matter of general information
that United ates troops were sent to
Idaho in deiiance Of and contrary to
the federal constitution. 1t is asserted
that General Merriam declared mar
tial law, and arbitrarily and without
warrant of law" arrested hundreds Of
citizens and held them under most
brutal and tyrannical conditions"
The arrests, 1t is charged, included
many members Of the miners union
and the local sheriff. 1t is asserted
that many men we're imprisoned in a
bull pen" place unfit for human
habitation. Allegation is made that
one prisoner became insane from the
treatment. and escaping was shot as
he jumped into river. 1t is also
charged that a dying prisoner was de-
MED spiritual consolation. Specific
acts of cruelty are given, including
compulsory standing erect for seven
hours each day In the hot sun, under
penalty Of death II attempt was made
to move or sit down. It ID alleged
alcn that o % nfafu rudor Hnparo1
Merriam amused himself by calling
prisoners 'cowardly ours while these
punishments were being inflicted" The
resolution also recites that the wives
and families of miners were insulted
by soldiers, and it is alleged that re-
sponsibility for the various actions re-
cited rests with the mining companies
Of the locality.

Colborne, Ont, Dec. 9.-It is believed
here that the Canadian steamer Nj
agara has foundered on Lake Erie,
and that all hands were lost. The
crew probably comprised 16 persons all
told. OF these Captain Henry Nc
Glory, master of the lost steamer, is
the only one known here. Last Tues
day the Niagara was sighted off Long
Point In the heavy gale and snow
storm. Steamers Just arrived report
passing through great quantity of
wreckage, and as the Niagara is the
only boat known to be missing this is
considered conclusive evidence. Cap

lDDDER RIVER BATTLE
Declared by q Bosr Correspondent
One Of the Fiercest.
NErHuEa's ARMY ouTHuxBERED

EIfteen Thousand Beers to Oppose
the Forces Under the British GEM
sral-A Large Boer Force Hsar to
the Army OF Gatncre.
London, Dec. 0.-According to q
special dispatch from Louerenzo Mar
quez the Modder River battle Is de-
ciared by q Boer correspondent with
General Cronje as "one OF the fiercest
the Beers ever experienced" The cor
respondent goes on to say: General
Cronje's wing sustained almost Colely
the fearful attack Of the British right
throughout the day. The Transyaal-
ers tenaciously held their positions I'M
I'll 7 In the evening; whom the Free
State buFghers were forced to retire by
the heavy British shell FIRE. General
Cronje then retired under cover Of
darkness, after facing the concentrated
fire of all the British batteries. The
Beers freely acknowledge the her.
culean assaults of the British and the
death dispensing fire OF the attacking
infantry, but they held their position
for 10 hours against the flower Of the
British army, replying solely with
their Mausers and maintaining an un-
Interrupted rife fire. The Boer artil-
lery was silenced early In the battle
through the overwhelming number Of
the British artillery"
General Forester Walker has sent
the following dispatches, dated at 8
O'Clock last evening, to the war office
from Cape Town:
Telegraph and railway communica-
tion to Modder River has been reopen
ed. A battery Of field artillery and a
battalion of infantry were dispatched
from Modder River against Command
ant Prins Loos' force Of 1000 Beers,
with one gun, who had destroyed the
railway. Our losses were IA In wound
ed.
'Fhe enemy's forces near General
Gatacre are reported as follows: At
D0rdrecht, 300; marching from James
town to Dordrecht, 700, with six guns;
at Stormberg, 1900: at Waterfall,
large force, strength unknown; at Mol
teno, about 400
Some interesting light is thrown on
the position of affairs along the west
0IA AIOAtiCi W uiopalSA inouCu W
Boer agency last evening in Berlin.
The dispatch says: "Commandant
Prins Loos' force is near Jacobsdal,
between Modder River and Riet River.
General Cronje Ia still on the north
bank of Modder river, his rear being
protected by fortified positions at Spyt-
fontein. The hills between Modder
River and Spytfontein and those be-
tween Jacobsdal and Riet River are
occupied by Beers. Commandant De-
larey's force is stationed between Gras
Pan and Honey Nest Kloof."
II this Berlin dispatch be correct
and it Is especially significant when
Judged In connection with General
Forestier-W Walkers advices to the war
offlce-there must be some 5000 Beers
around Lord Methuen, who is believed
to have 1000 men. Kimberley, how
ever, possessing an armored train, can
materially asst Methuen by harassing
the Beers from the rear.
