Dun's Review Says Business Condi-
tons Are Satisfactory Ex-
cept in Strike Region.

New York, Aug. 2e.-R. G. Dun e. Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Gradual resumption Of anthracite coal mining
is encouraging. although the output is not yet
sufficient to have any commercial value.
Business conditions are unsatisfactory at the
strike center, but representatives from all other
sections indicate unusually prompt revival after
the summer vacation season. with exceptionally
large operations among dealers in the agricultural
region.
Notwithstanding some bad weather. large crops
are now practically assured.
Manufacturing plants are now fully occupied.
AS a rule. the least gratifying reports come
from furnaces that cannot secure coke. owing
TO railway blockades. The transportation problem
is becoming serious. as the factor Of crop moving
is about to be added. and. moreover. much coal
must be moved by rail that usually goes to con-
sumers by lake and canal. Iron furnaces are sus-
pending production because coke cannot be Sc
cured. and it is evident that the rate of output
at the opening Of the new month will show a
serious To-. This scarcity Of fuel was expected
at the few plants using anthracite coal. but has
come as a shock to the coke furnaces, for the

weekly production of 25),00 tons inadequate
railway facilities are responsible and the situa-

AS the stocks of pig iron were very low at the
opening Of August. consumers are in an embar-
RAISING position. and there is a growing DISPOSE

Lieut.. True Served in Spanish
American and Philippine Wars.

Lieutenant William NJ. True Of the Six
tenth United States Infantry passed
through st. Louis yesterday on his way
from Fort Slocum, n. Y, to Fort Leaven-

that organization in the Porto Rican cam
paign.
In the early period Of the Philippine war

he took in the capture of General Gregoma
del Pillar. which occurred on December 2,
1889. Against overwhelming numbers Lieu
tenant True, who was commanding Com

RULING IN INSURANCE CASE.
Benefit Associations May Limit the
Authority of Agents.

An opinion handed down yesterday in the
United States Court of Appeals in the case
of the Modern Woodmen of America against
Laura c. Tevis and H. D. Tefis, defined
the bylaws of benefit associations as
equivalent to the conditions set out in or
binary insurance policies. and that clerks
of lodges are bound by them.
A benefit certificate was issued w. w.
Tevis on March 81, 1899. The monthly as
sessmcnt was due August l of the same
year. 1t was not paid promptly, and Teyis
died on August 10. The clerk of the lodge
to which Tevis belonged had been in the
habit of receiving assessments which were
as much as twenty days overdue. The by
laws provided positively that certificates
lapsed If payments were not promptly made.
Judges Sanborn, Thayer and Lochren con-
curing, the court decided that benefit as
,sociations" RAY limit the authority of their
agents." and. therefore. reversed the de-
cision of the lower court.
The court affirmed the decision of the
lower court IN the case of w. o. Johnson
against the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, an action for damages

SAVED CALF FROM BUTCHER.
Mrs. Dallus Rescued Her Pet After
an Exciting Chase.

Mrs. Charles Dallus of No. 1889 McCaus-
land avenue. Underwood, chased a butcher
a mile Wednesday to rescue a two-months-
old calf, that she had sold to a neighbor
with the understanding that it was not to
be killed.
Mrs. Dallus is a member of the Golden
Chain Humane Society. and. as a humani-
tartan, believes that calves should be per-
mitted to grow up to respectable cowhood
and then Gle a natural death. The butcher
wanted to buy the calf for veal. but she re-
fused.
When she sold the calf to a %neighbor
Wednesday she concluded to watch and see
If he carried out his agreement to take it
home. Consequently when. a half hour
later, she saw the animal loaded into a
butcher wagon, she started after it.
The butcher whipped up his horses when
he saw her coming. but the humane society
member was not to be daunted. and kept
running until she caught up with him.
Then Mrs. Dallus leaped into the wagon
and liberated the Juvenile bovine.
The calf, whose name is Flossie, Is now
browsing peacefully in Mrs. Dallus's front
ward.
