WATCHMAN DEAD IN OFFICE.
Shot Through the Mouth-Suspicion of
Foll Play.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, April 20.-Oliver
Purvis, watchman at the First National
Bank and of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
Coal Company Offices was shot and killed
in the pay office of the coal company at
Z o'clock tonight. Ii is believed that
thief was in the office and shot Purvis as
he entered, as the body was found lying
on its face in narrow passageway at
the entrance.
The bullet entered the mouth and killed
him instantly. The sound of the shot was
heard by people in front of the building
and few moments after a Young man
appeared hastily at the door and walked
rapidly down the street. Several people
saw him. and this adds to the suspicion
that murder was done. The revolver had
been taken from drawer in the office,
but nothing else was disturbed.
The revolver lay some distance from
the body, although there are powder
marks on the face. Puryis may have COM
mitted suicide. but there was no cause
for the deed. He was happy and content
cd. and had left his house bGt ten minutes
before in excellent spirits.

LARGE INCREASE IN
TRADE With PORTO RICO
Wonderful Effect of the Re-
moval of Tariff Restrictions.
TREASURY STATEMENT
Receipts of Merchandise From the Island
Now Range Between Five and Six
Million Dollars Annually - Outgoing
Trade Even Larger.

Commerce between the United States
and Porto Rico is increasing with phe-
nomenal rapidly, especially since the re-
moyal of all tariff restrictions in July Of
last year. Our purchases from Porto Rico
are nearly three times as great as the
average during the closing five years OF
Spanish rule in the island. while the ship
ments from the United States to Porto
Rico are five times as great as the aver
age during the five years preceding the
termination of Spanish rule. The receipts
of merchandise from Porto Rico at the
ports of the United States now range be-
tween FIVE and six millions annually, and
the shipments TO Porto Rico, which were
about seven million dollars in the last
fiscal year, seem likely to be ten millions
in the present fiscal year ending June 80.
Treasury Statistical Report
This rapid growth in the movements of
commerce between the ports of the
United States and Porto Rico is present
ed by statement just prepared by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, which
shows that the shipments OF domestic
lncTcHdHuiSe from lHe tHlleu states 10
Porto Rico in the eight months enulng
with February amounted to s6,sST ,052, in
dicating that for the full fiscal year the
total shipments of domestic and foreign
goods from the ports OF the United States
to Porto Rico will aggI egate about s10,-
Gee GOO
The exports from the United States to
Porto Rico during the five years ending
with 1898 averaged less than 100000
per annum. and thus Justify the assertion
that our shipments of merchandise during
the present year to Porto Rico seem like
ly to be as much as in the entire i've
years ending with 1898.
Balance of Trade.
over four ifths of the merchandise now
brought into Porto Rico is drawn from
the United States. and little over one
half of the merchandise shipped from that
island is sent 10 the United States. The
total value of goods shipped from the
island in the eight months ending with
February was s5.7S7. 619, and Of this sum
s3,016. 25S, or ~ per cent, was 10 the
United States. The total value of the mer-
chandise received into the island during
the same period was ss.41S,07S, of which
81 1887 ,052. or So per cent, was from the
United States.

the market held, making only a fractional dip to
start, and recovering towards noon with Decem-

was the export business being done at the sea

bushels worked early to 60 out. The northwest

and they were uniformly bearsh. One message
said: This magnificent weather coupled with

Trading is barely fair and outside orders few

receipts will increase. The speculative trade
being small suggests declining rather than adj
