BRADsTREETs REPORT.

New York, Feb. S.-Bradstraet's s.
says: Trade developments this week
have been in the main favorable. Sew
eral lines of trade and many staple
prices show irregularity, but this is no
more pronounced than is usual in this
season of the year.
A feature of the week is the growth
of the spring demand in the south and
southeast, reflected in the enlarged
sales of dry goods, boots and shoes,
clothing and millinery. Better ad-
vices es to the outlook for trade COM
ing from the northwest and the Pacl-
fic coast reports and reflects the stimu-
lus offered by the winter weather. but
the earlier quietness and, perhaps, the
large stocks still carried are probably
responsible for the slowness of collec-
tins to improve. Prices are still ir-
regular, though not mush lower as a
whole. Cereals are dull. irregular
and rather lower.
The strength of sole leather is a
feature. Shoe buyers are in full force
at Boston, and sample orders are num-
erous.
Lumber Jagged among building ma
terials,. but is stiffening in price as the
season of active operations approach.
Textiles are rather quiet. Cotton
weakened because of low trade reports
from the goods market. The demand
for wool is only to cover manufactur-
er's sales and some soft spots are re-
ported. Plain dress woolens are in
chief demand and mems wear goods
are slow of sale.
Iron and steel is rather quiet but
steady and strong as to price, with fin
ished products, particularly structural
material, in active inquiry.
Failures of the week in the United
States, 245, against 23S last week and
231 the week year ago. Canadian
failures "a. against 27 last week, and

COMBINATION RUMORS
Circulated In the Market Concerning
Wabash and Other Stocks.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
New York, Feb. S.-There was con-
siderable falling off in the volume of
dealing in stock today and the decline
would have been much more marked
had it not been for the bringing for
ward into activity of horde of low
priced stocks. 1t is characteristic Of
the long bull movement that 1t should
eventually reach into the dregs of the
list and stir uc the sediment of the
market. The theory is that the gem
orally higher range of values attained
in the general market entities low
priced stocks to some increase in valu-
aticn, even without special develop
ment in the affairs of the properties.
So far as the railroad department of
the stock market was concerned this
was clearly what was going on today.
AS matter of fact, combination ru-
mors were circulated regarding RAIL
roads whose stocks are selling below
40, but some of the stocks bid up, with
out specific rumor, on the general prin-
ciple that any railroad is available for
a combination now adays. The most
clearly defined rumors applied to Wa
bash securities and the group of rail-
roads operating in Colorado. These
made Wabash connecting link to be
absorbed by the Lackawanna and to
take in the Gould southwestern rail-
roads in the formation of a new
through railroad system from the east
to southwestern gulf ports. Gains In
this class of railroad stock ran all the
way from / to 5 points. st. Joseph
and Grand Island were first, gaining
points and Wabash common gaining
Az points. All of the securities of
both roads were affected in less de-
gree and there were gains besides in
the Colorado and Southern stocks. D.
& R. c., Fort Worth and Rio Grande;
Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville;
Peoria and Eastern; Cleveland, Lorain
and Wheeling; Wheeling and Lake
Erie; Texas and Pacific; North Amer
ican, Kanawha and Michigan; and
Mexican Central. The rest of the rail
read list was singularly sluggish all
day.
Steel stocks made a great show of
strength at the opening, tinplate jump
ing nearly points, Steel and Wire "a
points and Federal Steel only IA
None of the advances were fully main
talned except Federal Steel, and busi-
ness in the group fell to small proper
tions.
The total sales in the stock market
was 1,529,600.
There was a continuance of activity
of the bond market, but there were re-
actions on profit taking. Wabash de-
benture BIS advanced six points and
AS 25s points. U. S. bonds are all
unchanged.

Two fire proof vaults. one to be
used for general deposit of moneys and
securities and the other. which con-
tains 400 hundred private boxes for
rent by customers who wish ample
protection of their valuables will oc-

building. Two COUPON rooms, sep
arate ladies' room, three toilet rooms
and directors assembly room II by "a
feet will complete the occupation of
the available floor space in the north
and east parts of the second floor.
A separate apartment for the presi-
dent in the west end of the second floor
gives access to the counting room
where the main business of the bank
will be done. All the apartments on
this floor will be finished in the high
est possible degree, combining beauty
and utility. The floor of tn elobby will
be of marble, while highly polished
San Domingo mahogony, which will
constitute the wood finishing, will add
an air of dignity to the apartments.
The third, fourth and fifth floors will
contain suites of Office rooms, nine on
each floor. Especial attention will be
paid to ventilation and lighting. The
apartments are large, cheerful and
commodious. On these floors polish
ed maple or grained oak finish will be
used.
The building being built to furnish
most comfortable quarters for the
large and constantly increasing busi-
ness of. the First National will contain
the greatest linear floor space on the
second floor. The height of this room
is 16 feet and the l. which extends to
the alley is only built on the second
story.
When viewed from the outside the
building is most impressive from an
architectural standpoint. The lower
story will be built up of large granite
blocks of high polish and beautiful
color. Upon the ranite will be SUI
perinposed Indiana limestone. which
will form the second story. The re-
mainder of the structure will consist Of
buff brick. The ornamental trim
mings which will lbe an attractive feat
ure of the building will be fashioned
from stone and terra Gotta.
plans providing for a building of the
above description have not as yet
come before the Board of Directors for
ratificatin, but according to the ex
pressed opinion of several of the Board
no difficulty will be experienced in
this direction. The erection of such
building would be valuable to tine city
from a business and an ornamental
standpoint and it's erection will be
welcomed by all classes alike.

A PROGRESSIVE INSTITUTION
The First National Bank viii Erect a Five
Story Building.

AS the general reading public will
readily remember there appeared in an
issue of the Leader several weeks ago
an account of 4 handsome new build
ing which the directors of the First
National Bank contemplated erecting
upon the site of the present structure
at no distant date. That contingency
was questioned, and, in fact, denied by
certain unprogressive and antluuated
organ of the city.
Notwithstanding stories of the unin-
formed to the contrary, the directors
of this old and reliable banking insti-
tuition were quietly making arrange
ments for the purchase of the neces-
sary ground for building purposes and
were likewise having sketches of a
preliminary nature drawn to embody
their idea of a complete and modern
banking building. The sketch of the
proposed building was drawn by the
well known architectural firm of Gard
ner, Pyne and Gardner. of Springfield,
Mass, to whom the contract for pre-
pairing plans looking to the remodeling
of the First Congregational church was
given.
The plans map out an elegant five
story building, which will face ASH
feet on Front street and 65h feet on
Greene street, with an extension in
the form of an l. 92 feet deep on
Greene. In order to secure so large a
space of ground on Greene street the
property of B. F.. Wood has been con-
tracted for. Upon this site it is pro-
posed to erect five story building,
which, besides the appointments for
the First National Bank will contain
twenty-seven large Office rooms for
business purposes. The first floor will
be taken up entirely with store rooms,
on which two will front on Greene and
one on Front street. An entrance
eight feet wide will lead from the
street into marble paved hall from
which handsome commanding mar
BILE staircase will ascend to the second
story where the apartments of the
bank are found. Upon the ground
floor will Ibe situated an immense vault
which will be used exclusively for the
preservation of important documents
belonging to the institution. A large
elevator will offer means OF transpor-
tation to and from all floors OF the
building. A bicycle and boiler rooms
will also be located on the basement
floor. ..sl
The second story in which the count
ing rooms, vault, lobby and genera
banking apartments are to be located
will be reinforced by an extension ii
the shape of an l., extending from
Greene street TO the alley on Front, 8.
feet in all. The public lobby foo
will occupy space 14l feet six inche

limbo Fields, aged 16. and Clarence
Garnetf, aged IS, both colored, were
lynched at Shelbyville, KY, at 2 O'Clock
Wednesday morning for the alleged muir
der of Will G.. Hart, a printer, who was
stoned to death the night of Sept. IL
The boys were taken from the jail and
swung from the Chesapeake and Ohio
trestle just beyond the station and with
in 500 yards of the Jail The moh's
work was done so quietly that no citi-
zens, except the jailer and two or three
others, knew of it for several hours af-
terward. The men went to the jail about
/ 80 o'clock and demanded the keys Of
the taller, but he refused to surrender
them. The doors were then battered
down. The prisoners were removed al
most before they had time to realize
what was happening. The mob dispers-
ed quickly and the identity of its men,
beers did not become known. Hart went
to Shelbyyille from Lebanon, Ohio, and
at the time of his death was employed
as printer on the Shelby Sentinel. The
details of his murder are not accurately
known, but it is conceded to be fact
that Fields and Garnett killed him.
Harris body was found at o'clock Sat
urday night, Sept. 81, in path leading
from the house of Annie Fields, the moth
er of limbo Fields. in a negro settlement
at ShelbyyilIc called Bucktown.

and circumstances in the case, twelve
good men have pronounced you guilty of
murder in the first degree. You say that
no other person abetted you in the COM

is fixed by statute, and it becomes my
duty to impose sentence upon you. The
sentence of this court is that in the week
beginning Oct. %, at the place designat-
ed and in the manner prescribed by law,
you suffer the punishment of death1'
In hush that was like the silence of
death Justice White pronounced the
prisoners doom. Physically lettering
under the ordeal, but sustaining himself
by sheer force of nerve, the murderer
heard the words of death pronounced,
was shackled and quietly submitted to
be led away.
After full, fair and public trial he
has been adjudged guilty by a duly
constituted jury and is condemned to
die in the electric chair. He will be
killed by the law, which he wished to
kill. The ignominious end that awaits
him Is the same that is reserved for all
who seek to put the insane and murder
Gus ideas of anarchism into operation.
He will go to his death accompanied
by the excavations of the civilized
world.
The promptness and dispatch with
which the case was disposed of in the
courts is subject for public congrat-
ulation. No time was lost in needless
quibblings about non-essential points.
