Arrested for Removing Pole,

An aged man named Davidson, was
arrested Saturday afternoon by Chief
McAndrew, on the charge of malicious
mischief, preferred by p. H. Gilbran,
local manager of the Pennsylvania TEL
ephone company. He was held in bail
to answer at court by Alderman At
kinson. Davidson was charged with
removing the dirt around a pole that
accommodated telephone wires running
to the residence of Henry Mclaughlin,
in the Brooklyn district. The pole be-
came loosened and fell. After it was re-
placed Davidson renewed operations and
was arrested. 1t is claimed that his
activity is due to spiteful feelings
towards the before named family. Dav-
idson said he wanted the dirt to fill
a hollow place in front of his house.

In fact all the newspapermen Of the
city have reason to know our genial
townsman, Mr. Lilley, for on nurner-
GUS occasions he has treated them

then, should ask who is this George

have put on a new man at the helm
who does not know Mr. Lilley, perhaps
some individual who never met him.
If such is the case we must inform
the editor of our contemporary that it
will not be for long; he is bound to
meet Mr. Lilley and we are sure he
will like him; nearly everybody does.
In order to enlighten our contempor-
airy, however, in another column will
be found few lines that will give him
food for thought. 1t will introduce
to him the only and original George

TRADE CONDITIONS
Business Greatly Retarded by Lack
OF Transportation Facilities.

Business Greatly Retarded by Lack
OF transportation Facilities.
NEW YORK, Nov. In. G. Dun s
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Speculation waits upon politics, but
legitimate business is not disturbed by
the approaching election. New labor
controversies have been promptly set
tied by advancing wa ges, and the grad
ual Improvement in supply of coal has
reduced prices and restored activity in
manufacturing. Complaints are in
creasing as to the tardy movement of
freight, miles of cars being stalled by
the lack of motive power, and many
roads refuse to accept further ship
ments until the blockades are relieved
Lower temperature has stimulated re
tail sales of seasonable merchandise,
but frost comes too late to seriously in
jure agricultural products. Liberal
consumption sustains quotations in
most lines, domestic demands being
supplemented by large exports.
The future course of the iron and
steel industry will be largely influenced
by this fuel shortage, much business
being permanently lost to home pro-
ducers, and prices in some departm ents
already show the effect Of disorganized
conditions Railway needs have not
diminished, numerous large orders con
stantly appearing, while the pressure
for locomotives is causing large pre-
miums to be offered. Structural shapes
for bridge and ship building are next
in point of urgent demand. Agreement
on the tin plate wage scale may secure
lot of business that now goes out of
the country, and some reduction in
prices is expected.
According to precedent, wheat and
corn should move in sympathy, but
during the remainder Of the crop year
it is extremely doubtful whether Gus.
tom will prevail. Many factors com
bine to sustain wheat. Reports from
the Pacific coast. Indicate that the
yield in that section fell short of ex-
pectatiOns, yet news from Australia
is most distressing, and large imports
are being engaged. In Europe there is
unusual consumption of wheat in feed
ing live stock owingsto the scarcity of
corn, while domestic mills are grinding
at their limit. Supplies increase but
little, although western receipts for
the week were 9,27S678 bushels against
7,0605 last year. and exports from
the United States for the week were
5,803,97S bushels compared with 5,018.-
103 a year ago.
All these influences give wheat sup
port, whereas the greatest corn crop
on record is about to come forward,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The annu-
al report of General G. L. llespie,
chief of engineers of the United States
army, now made public, presents a
comprehensive view of the condition of
Notifications throughout the country.
After giving a list Of the thirty-one
points at which projects for permanent
seacoast defenses have been adopted,
the report says that the defense of the
great lakes and the ST. Lawrence is I'M
der consideration, and also projects for
defenses for Porto Rico, Hawaii,
Guam, Manila and Subig bay have
been approved by the secretary of war.
With reference to the last mentioned
plans, the opinion is given that con-
struction should begin at an early day.
ut is believed the report continues,
'that the time has come when it will
be no longer possible to ignore the
question of the insular d.afenses. The
navy department is properly insistent
that all it's important coaling stations
should receive proper defensive pro-
lection to keep off predatory attacks
from possible hostile fleets"
According to the report, the seacoast
defenses are now somewhat more than
SO per cent completed. twenty-five Of
the principal harbors of the United
States have sufficient number Of
heavy guns and mortars mounted to
permit an effective defense against
naval attack, and during the past two
years considerable progress has been
made in the installation of an adequate
rapid fire armament, now the matter
of first Importance

improvements much detail is given con-

With reference to the enlargement. of
Governors island, it is stated that
available funds will complete the rip
rap part of the bulkhead up to Castle

about 1900 feet, and that future ap-
