Brad.treet ON Busine...

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Bradstreet to-
morrow will say:
Wholesale trade is quieting down as the
stock taking period approaches and what
activity is noted by jobbers is in forward
ing supplies of goods needed to reinforce
stocks of retailers, depleted by what is con-
coded to be the most active holiday trade
on record. Cold weather North and West
has helped sales of furs, heavy clothing
eral retail buying. Holiday buying, it is
noted, is for a rather more expensive grade
of goods than ordinarily experienced. There
are, of course. some drawbacks such as I'M
settled weather or bad roads at the South
the coal shortage at the East, and the con-
tinuance of the railway congestion at the
West, affecting the movement of COKE
bituminouS coal and general freight, but
taken a whole, the mercantile commun-
fty contemplates the approach of the end
of the year with complacency and satisfac-
ton. knowing as il does that most of
lines of trade will show gains over 1901 and,
feeling Is that the year has been good
one, while the fine wheat crop outlook and
the volume OF orders already booked for
next year gives promise of future good con-
dition.

WOMAN ANARCHIST SHOT
VOLTAIRINE LECLEYRE MORTALITY
WOUNDED BY HERMAN HELsCHER.
Latter Formerly Was a Pupil of His
Victim and Said, When Arrested,
She Had Broken His Heart.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19.-Voltairine
Lecleyre. an Anarchist and a teacher of
languages, was to-day shot and mortally
wounded by Herman Helscher, a former
pupil. The woman is dying in hospital
and Helscher is in custody. Unrequited
love is said to have prompted the deed.
When arrested Helscher's only explana-
ton was the following:
I'VE were sweethearts, she and I. She
broke my heart and deserved to be killed
Miss Lecleyre is thirty-six years old and
her assailant is twenty-four The shooting
occurred on the street in broad daylight
and was witnessed by score of persons.
Miss Lecleyre was standing at street
corner awaiting car. Helscher, who had
disguised himself by means of a false
mustache, he accosted his victim from be-
hind. Almost at the same time he drew
revolver from his pocket and pointed 1t
at the woman, who turned and attempted
to run away. She had gone only a few
steps when Helscher began firing upon
her. After discharging five shots at the
fleeing woman, three of which took effect
he replaced the pistol in his pocket and
started to walk away. He made no effort
TO escape and was arrested.
MISS Lecleyre ran a short distance AND
then sank upon door step. She was car
ried into the house, and from there re-
moved to hospital. In her statement to a
magistrate she denied acquaintance with
Helscher, but when he was brought before
her minus the false moustache she at once
recognized him. She declined, however, tC
accuse him of having shot her, but asked
the police if he had admitted il. Neither
would she state the nature of her relations
with Helscher. Two bullets took effect in
the woman's right side below the shoulder
and another embedded itself in the right
side of the chest The physicians hold on,
no hope for her recovery.
Miss Lecleyre has attained widespread
notoriety through her anarchstic utter
ances and her intimacy with Emma Gold.
man and other Anarchists. She is an &C.
complished linguist and musician, and has
written much anarchistic literature and
many erotic poems. Friends of the wound
ed woman say she came to this city about
fifteen years ago from Michigan. Hel
father, who was Frenchman, is dead. Hel
mother is said to live somewhere in the
West.
