Monday morning. When we got into
the timber, we cooked breakfast. We
then rested until afternoon. At 3 o'clock
we started through the timber toward
Renton.
Gust before we reached the railroad
bridge over Black river, we met four men,
and Tracy said Hello, Fred. and jumped
down the bank to where the men were
standing. Tracy talked to the men for
few minutes. After the talk, Tracy left
one of the men to watch ne. He and
the three others, after b1indfo1ding me,
went off and stayed about an hour. When
they returned, they brought bottle OF
whisky Then we started out. Tracy
forced me to walk in front, and he follow
ed behind accompanied by the four men
we met on the bridge.
"We arrived in Renton about IL o.
clock and walked up the railroad track

east of the brickyard. Here Tracy tied

would go away for awhile but would
come back in an hour. When he returned
he broughr a little boy from Gerrells'
house, and we walked down to the Ger
rells' place together. We were in
the house about three hours when Tracy
took me out into the brush. At the riv-
bank, he said: Lie down. After look
ing up and down the river, Tracy tied
me up and cautioned me to keep still. I

cy, whom May Baker, an 1s-year-
old girl of Seattle, will remember
for the lest of her life, is a gala t,
tender-h hearted man, with a prodig-

more than four hours. The last
hour or so the house was sgrround-

Miss Baker complained of being
cooped in the house all day. Ira

pass away the time.

SLOOP CAPSIZES.
Disaster on the Delaware River i'm
Which Man and Woman
Are Drowned.

Chester, Pa, June 14-Capt. Han
nett Robinson, of Port Norris, n.
j., and Mrs. Puma Haines, of Cam
den, N. j., were drowned Friday after
noon opposite this city by the
capsizing of the sloop Henry S.
Robbins, from Port Norris, for Phila-
delphia, laden with oyster shells. On
the yacht at the time of the accident,
besides those above mentioned, were
Miss Lizzie Jones, of Camden, and
Robert Reed and Charles F. Burton,
of Port Norris. When opposite this
city the sloop was caught in a
sudden gust of wind, and in a moment
all of the occupants were struggling
in the water. The United States launch
Cadet, with a surveying party on board,
which was near at hand, hurried to the
rescue, but Capt. Robbins and Mrs.
Haines had already disappeared. The
others were taken from the water and
conveyed to the hospital in this city,
whence they left shortly afterward for
their homes.

TRADE REVIEW.
Leading Commercial Agencies Differ
as to Effect of Labor Controversies
on Business Situation,

New York, June AR. G. Dun G. Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade says: "The d.
minutton in business is apparent from la
Dor controversies owing to the prosperous
condition of the agricultural sections and
the bright outlook for this years crops.
Retail distribution of light weight wearing
apparel has felt the stimulus Of higher
temperature. Railway earnings in May
were 81 per cent. larger than last year and
A.7 per cent. above those Of 1900. There
continues to be wide discrepancy between
the amount of business offered and the
contracts closed in many branches of the
iron and steel industry owing tolinability
of producers to assure delivery at speci-
fed time. Contracts running well into
next year Indicate that the end of activity
is not near. Pressure is still most conspic-
uous for railway and structural supplies
and agricultural implement works are
crowded with orders. Grain markets have
shown the effect of conflicting crop esti-
mates ard weather reports.
Failures for the week numbered 1872 in the
United states, against l79 last year. and
20 in Canada, compared with % year ago"
Bradstreets says: Labor troubles cloud
the immediate outlook, but good crop pros
poets fairly well assure future trade. The
effects Of the anthracite coal strike are no
longer localized. 1t affects distributive
trade in wider area and higher prices for
fuel reduce the profits Of manufacturers
generally throughout the east. Crop pros
poets are not, of course, perfect, but are
little less than that. Confidence in fall trade
seems to be growing. Export business,
notably in manufactured goods, is certainly
improving. The rail traffic outlook is APP
parently of the best. The cruder forms of
iron and steel are apparently in undim hish-
ed demand. Finished products, though
nothing quoting in influences Of the "a
son, are in quite active request. Building
activity is unimpaireG, except where labor
troubles Interfere. Some lines of trade
heretofore depressed, notably boots and
shoes and wooden goods. are displaying a
better tendency.

STRIKERS PEACEFUL.
The Wise Counsel of Their Leaders
Prevails.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 14.-For the
first time this week there was no DEM
onstration in the vicinity of the Le-
high Valley company's William A. COL
liery at Duryea Friday. The efforts of
the strike leaders to have the men
keep the peace have been successful,
and there was no gathring of idlers
at the colliery to annoy the workmen.
The Lehigh Valley company has fol-
lowed a policy of keeping it's guards
in the background, as to avoid any Sc
rious clash, but the attempted shoot
ing of its division superintendent on
Wednesday night has caused it to
change its method. Thursday night
and Friday extra coal and iron po-
lice were sent to the colliery, and they
were distributed around the mine in
conspicuous places. 1t is the COM
pany's intention to take no more
chances of having it's employees in
jured.
Progress of the Strike.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June A. The
work of the strikers in attempting to
bring out all men who are still in the
employ of the coal companies goes
steadily on. Their campaign against
the engineers, fremen and pumpmen
is nearly over, most of these men being
out and the union is now paying more
attention to the fire bosses, clerks and
others who have taken the places of
those who quit. Pressure is being
brought to bear on them in every pos
sible way. Quite a number of the fire

Senate.
Washington, June 14-With the ex-
ception of few minutes devoted to
the reading of the presidents message
and the time necessary to confirm two
nominations at the beginning of the
session, the senate spent the entire
day in considering the nomination of
Capt. William Crozier to be chief of the
bureau of ordnance. The principal
speeches of the day were made by SEN
ators Cockrell and Proctor, the. for
mer favoring the confirmation and the
latter opposing that course. The SEES
sion adjourned without the senate
reaching conclusion on the question
and no day was fixed for continuing
consideration owing to pressure of
other matters. Gen. Crozier's confir-
nation is generally conceded by his
opponents.
Seek Government Aid.
Washington, June 1.-The New
York members of the house of repre-
sentatives Friday were before the
house committee on appropriations to
ask an appropriation of 5000 900 to
cover the deficit of the Buffalo expo
sition. Representative Alexander. of
Buffalo, who spoke for the delegation,
said that the shooting of President
Mckinley had depressing effect on
the exposition towards its close when.
there was the greatest expectation of
large returns, and that under normal
conditions there would have been
much larger income.

man, who has been prominent in
Michigan politics for the past forty
years, died Friday afternoon, as the
result of a stroke of apoplexy two
weeks ago, aged 10 years. He
served through the civil war with
the Nineteenth Michigan infantry. He
was deputy warden of Jackson prison

ago.

stroyed and nine others were slightly
damaged. The rapid spread of the
flames gave rise to rumors that num-
Der of the employees had met death in
the burning factory, but these reports
proved to be erroneous. A member of
the firm of Rosenblatt e. Co. Friday
night said all the employees had been
accounted for. There were many sem
sational and narrow escapes, most of
the 400 men and women employed in
the factory saving their lives by leap
ing from the windows into nets held
by fremen. Katie Scheidell, aged Is
years, was carried down ladder by q
policeman. She was badly burned and
her condition is reported as serious.
Others severely injured are: George
Hebert, aged Al, back injured; John
Snyder, aged %, shoulder dislocated
and leg fractured; August Schoeter,
aged 40, leg fractured; Samuel frank
erman, aged rs, burned about body.
Several others, including police ser
geant and two fremen, sustained Sc
we're decorations and were overcome by
heat and shock. The fire originated in
a small annex known as the celluloid
room. 1t is believed spark from
crossed electric wires fell into guam
tity of celluloid. The fire caused a
panic among the employees, especially
those on the upper floors, and for a
time the widest excitement prevailed.
Firemen and policemen, however, pre-
vented the panic-stricken workers
from leaping until nets had been
spread to receive them. Mr.. Rosen-
blatt estimates his loss at $150,000,
partly covered by insurance, and the
loss on the other properties is esti-
mated at $4,000.
