Evidences of Improvement Numex-
 ous-Brfsk Easter DeaIinxs

Evidences of Improvement Numex- ous-Brfsk Easter Dealings. NEW YORK, March 22-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Evidences of further improvement are numerous. Labor controversies are less threatening, many settlements hay ing been effected, while others are mo- mentarily anticipated; wages have been advanced not only through strikes, but in some cases voluntarily; traffic congestion has subsided until it is pos sible to deliver goods according to specifications; aside from some idle footwear shops, the leading lines of manufacture are very fully engaged, while jobbing trade is of exceptional magnitude. Retail dealings are also very large, the Easter stimulus being felt in all lines of wearing apparel
 Pressure for iron and steel has not diminished perceptibly, yet the impress sion is growing that after July 1 the situation will become approximately normal and it will be possible to se- cure deliveries with some degree of promptness.
 Large contracts are constantly under
  on domestic account. including railway bridges, viaducts, car shops and office buildings. In this respect the domestic consumption this year will far surpass all records.
 Grain markets have begun to feel the effects of weather reports, and for the next few months it will be a sim pie matter for speculators to secure er- rattle fluctuations.
 Both at the east and west there is a little more activity in shoeshops, yet productive capacity is not fully en- gagged, and new orders come forward slowly. Lower prices for leather and hides may make it possible for produc CTS to accept recent bids, in which case sales would increase, but thus far only two staple grades have been shaded.
 Failures for the week numbered 209 in the United States against 224 last year and 31 in Canada against B last year.

CANAL IMPROVEMENT.
Governor OdeII Thinks the Project
 Has Little Chance.


 Has Little Chance.
 ALBANY, K. Y, March 22.-Goyernor Odell was asked last night what the prospect for canal legislation was, and he said:
 Tt is certainly not very bright. The assembly has had two opportunities to vote on two canal propositions, and what was the result? They were not able to muster the constitutional num- Der of votes necessary to pass a bill. They had what was practically the Da- wis bill before them and were only abla to muster sixtyone votes for it. It was understood that if the Weekes bill was amended so that the Oswego canal would be eliminated I would send in an emergency message to keep it from remaining on the desks of the mem bers for three days before it could be called up for final passage.
 "For the first time i'll the history of canal legislation members representing four counties along the line of the ca nal with cities in them voted against a canal improvement proposition. They were Monroe, with Rochester; Ononda- ga, with Syracuse; Albany, with Alba ny, and Rensselaer, with Troy.
 T am told, but have not Investigated the statement, that the Brooklyn mem- bers who stayed away could have say- ed the day and passed the bill''
 The governor was asked whether he was in favor of the proposition to sub- init to the people the question whether or not they favored canal improvement at all. He said:
 Certainly I am. It is very good rule to do what the people want. Then you are sure to be right. I am out of the canal question. I have done all I could to secure canal improvement leg islation. have favored it in my public utterances and in my annual message"

Another Victory Added to List of the
 High School Basketball Team.

Vaccination has it's perils. It seems so ill this town anyway. Going about town you may see people with faces pinched up with pain, natural or imaginary, and if yau ask what's the matter, the answer you get would lead you to believe that nobody on this earth is an angel or else vaccination makes good people bad. At any rate, several people are confined to their homes by sickness caused by vaccina- tion, therefore one is led to believe that vaccination hath it's DeriIs.

 The Naugatuck High school basket ball team added one more victory to it's already long list, last evening at the Opera house. by defeating the Bridge port High school team by a score of g to 19. Naugatuck played q good game, Anderson and Clifford doing the best work. Anderson played a fine passing game, and Clifford shot his baskets with perfect ease. Something must have been the matter with Jim my last night for he missed several fine chances. But, nevertheless, he can shoot them, and last night must have been his night off. In justice to the Bridgeport boys it must be said that they played q plucky game and that the Naugatuck players had worthy opponents in them. But Naugatuck won, and now the cry on the High school youngsters lips is now for Wa terbury The line up:

Dress Before Ugly Bull.
 TONAWANDA, N. T., March 22.- ]. B. Post, farmer, thirty-f1ve years old, living four miles south of this yil- lage, bound his wife, Amanda Post, to a stake in the bullpen of his stable She wore a red calico apron, which drove a confined bull to frenzy, and in it's rage it attacked the woman and gored her to death. It is said that the mans act was caused by jealousy of a preacher, Hiram Coates by name, who lives half a mile south of the Post farm. Coates has been a frequent caller at the Post farm, and the night before he met Mrs. Post at a prayer meeting at Kenmore.
 Post quarreled with his wife osl returning home and brooded over the matter until he committed the act which has mortified the whole neigh borhood
 After leaving his wife tied in the bullpen Post started for the Niagara river with the supposed intention of drowning himself. He was stopped on the way by his brother, Frank Post, who asked where he was going and why In his excitement he was unable to give satisfactory answer and final ly broke down and confessed the whole thing.
 George Jeeyes, rural mail carrier on the route on which Post lives, had meanwhile discovered that the doors of the house were open and signs of struggle were evident in the sitting room, which opened on to the road. Entering the house, he called for Post and, receiving no answer, went to the barn.
 In the bullpen he discovered Mrs. Post, with the bull standing glaring at her corpse, which gave no evidence of life. The ropes which had bound her to the stake had given way under the strain of the bulls goring, and the woman was lying in a heap. Her face and body were terribly mangled. The mail carrier notified the police in Tona- wanda. A posse was hurriedly. or ganized, and Post was captured with out q struggle on his way to Buffalo. It is generally believed that he is in- sane,

Ice Gorae In the Mi..ours.

CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., March 22.- An ice gorge which has been forming in the Missouri river at this place for some time has reached a point that has caused the river to overflow the lowlands for forty miles up the river. The channel has reached a width of six miles i'll some places. The ice is packed so tight that the bed of the riv- CT below the gorge for several miles is almost dry. The snow in the upper valley is beginning to melt, and fears are entertained of a serious flood if the gorge shall not be broken. Dynamite is being used, but without effect up to the present time.

advancement For Captain coshlan.


 WASHINGTON, March 22.-It is un- derstood that Captain Joseph B. Cogh- Ian is about to be advanced five num- bers on the list of naval captains through the remission by the president of part of the sentence of a court mar tial from which he is now suffering. Years ago when the captain was a jun for officer he clashed with the detail of ficer of the navy department and for writing sharp letter was court mar tialed and sentenced to lose eleven numbers in his grade. By the special act rewarding the captains of the United States fleet engaged in the bat tie of Manila Bay Captain Coghlan re- gained some of the lost numbers, and he now seeks to be completely rein stated. This would place Captain Coghlan second on the list of naval captains, and he would become a rear admiral in the course of the year through the retirements of Rear Adni- rals Remey and Farquhar.

United Miners Await Report

SOME DELAY OVER GRIEVANCES.
To-day wiA Determine Whether Am thracfte Workers Shall Adopt SS> Drastic Measures to Secure
 Their Rights OF Not.

SHAMOKIN, Pa, March 22.-Con- Of Districts Nos. l, and 9, United Mine Workers of America, failed to reach a determination yesterday con corning the grievances of the anthra- cite coal miners Many of the dele gates had expected an adjournment and definite action, but the discussion of the scale committee report was more protracted than was anticipated, and its entire adoption had not been accomplished at the hour of adjourn ment.
 The committee presented its report to the convention at the afternoon ses- sion. President Mitchell announced that part of the report had been adopted, but failed to state the nature of the clauses accepted. MT. Mitchell said he was unable to make state ment concerning the progress of the convention with the scale owing to the fact that there was much of the report still to be considered. Presi- dent Mitchell was not certain that the report would be made public in its en- tirety, although he stated that he ex- pected final action and adjournment today. The opinion is about equally divided as to whether the convention will declare in favor of drastic meas ures to secure an adjustment of their grievances.
 The only remaining business for the consideration of the convention is the report of the scale committee.
