programme OF entertainment prepared
for them until after two o'clock Saturday
morning, yet the members of the Honor
able Artillery company we're up early.
prepared to undertake whatever their

pleasure. The programme arranged by
the host, the Ancient and Honorable Ar
tillery company OF Boston, was a trip to
Providence as guests Of the First light
infantry OF that city.
The members of the Boston company

IN the WORLD OF COMMERCE.
Leading Agencies Tell of Condition
of General Trade.
Considered, But on the Whole
the Prospect Is Favorable.

New York, Oct. 5-Bradstreet's week.
ly review of trade says: MIXED trade
and crop conditions still present them
selves, although some improvement in
tone is noted where crop estimates, as
in the case Of corn, show expansion.
Lower prices for cereals point the way
to future large business and induce
larger foreign interest in our farm pro-
ducts. Trade reports vary with sections
considered, the best reports coming
from the southwest, the northwest and
the Pacific coast Spotted trade reports
come from sections OF the middle west.
From the south the reports are In the
main favorable as to trade and cOllec-
tons, but crop deterioration Is wide
spread, except from the lower Missis-
sippi valley. Falling prices for cotton,
though hopeful sign for our export
trade and domestic manufacturers, do
not excite lively satisfaction among pro-
ducers. Among the great industries
iron and steel show the effect of threat
ened over-production in proposals for
20 per cent. reduction of Northern fur
mace output, rumors of like action by
southern producers and quiet demand
for finished products"
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF
trade says: aside from the reduction
in blast furnace activity manufacturing
plants are more fully engaged, and sew
eral encouraging reports are received,
particularly as to footwear: Wholesale
and jobbing trade is we'll maintained,

RED COATS ARE WELCOMED.
Honorable Artillery Company of
London Arrives at Boston.
Are Given q Hearty Greeting on Land
ing-Br1lliant and Spectacu-
lar Parade In Held.

Boston, Oct. 3.-For the first time in
many years the flag of England, guarded
by British muskets, was borne through
the streets of Boston Friday by the Hon
orable. Artillery company, of London, as
special guests of similar organization,
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
company, of this city.
Landing at Charlestown, almost on the
very spot where their ancestors started
on their memorable attack on Bunker
Hill, 1913 years ago, the red coats of the
twentieth century marched from their
steamer, the Mayflower, over the bridge
to Boston, and then through streets re-
splendent with American and British
flags, to the hotels, which will be their
homes during their sojourn in this city.
For five days they will be entertained,
and then, after weeks tour, which will
include New York, Washington, Niagara
Falls and Canada, they will start back
to their own shores.
The Mayfower was sighted coming
into Massachusetts bay early in the fore
noon. Sol. Sidney NJ Hedges, COM
mander Of the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery company, and several of his
staff boarded the Mayfower from a
tug, and welcomed the visitors through
their commander, the earl of Debigh.
The Mayfower was given hearty ova-
tion by the harbor fleet, and before the
visitors landed Adjt. Gen. Dalton board
ed the steamer, and extended in behalf
Of Gov. Bates the official welcome of
thp commonwealth of Massachusetts.
AS soon as the visitors landed and
had formed their lines, the procession
started.
The parade was one of the most spec
tacular seen in these streets in long
time. The snowy uniforms of the ca
diets, the deep blue of the militia, the
scarlet of the national lancers contrib
uted to the brilliancy Of the escorting
column, no less than did the British red
of the royal garrison band, OF Halifax,
N. S., and of the visiting company, to
the main body.
After march through the principal
downtown streets and across Boston
common, the parade was dismissed.
Along the route of march, nearly all
the business houses were gayly deco
rated, and tie great crowds which
thronged the streets frequently cheered
and applauded the visitors.
The first of the entertainment accord

TRIBUNAL HEARS ARGUMENTS
Canadian and American Contention
Discussed Before the Alaskan
Boundary Commission.

London, Oct. 3.-Sir Edward Carson,
the solicitor general, consumed the morn
ing session Of the Alaskan boundary
commission Friday in endeavoring to re-
flute the arguments of David T. Watson
and Hannis Taylor, of counsel for the
United States, especially protesting
against Mr.. Taylor's contention that the
term trend of the coast" could only ap-
ply to the political coast line, and not
to the physical coast line. The solicit
tor general concluded with an eloquent
reference to Great Britain's unwilling
ness to give up any of her subjects into
the control of other nations. When ia
cob M. Dickinson, of counsel for the
United States, rose to conclude the argu-
ments, the room was filling up with spec
tators. He commenced by belittling the
minute examinations of maps and the
pickering over words and details, declar-
ing that the case could only be settled by
grasping the central idea animating the
original negotiations.
Mr.. Dickinson proceeded to take up
Attorney General Finlay's points, dealing
lucidly with the broad phase of the dis
pute, and enlivening the proceedings
with an occasional story. He was still
speaking when the commission ad-
journed until October S. Mr. Dickinson
does not expect to conclude until the
evening of October 8.

After the shooting the three men ran
in different directions with crowds after
each one and each was hit in the head
with stones by those pursuing them.
Louis Spivey, one Of the three disturb
ers, was shot in the stomach by q citi-
zen. The excitement was intense when
the three men were finally lodged in jail
after running a mile from the scene Of
the shooting. The condition OF Louis
Spivey from his bullet wound was such
at first that he was considered as good
as dead. Edward Richardson was dis
missed after it was shown that he had
nothing to do with the shooting and was
only accompanying the spivey brothers.
The crowds that had been pursuing
the three men in different directions
finally concentrated about the Jail and
battered down the door and took Joseph
Spivey out to lynch him. There posi-
bly, never was such an experience ot
anyone in the hands Of mob as his.
Strung Up Three Times.
He was hauled from place to place
with rope about his neck and swung
up three different times and yet escaped
with his life. In their haste the mot
did not pinion his arms or his legs and
he managed to use them so as to prevent
strangulation the first time he was huns.
At another time he was let down SO that
he might write farewell letter to his
wife and children and at another time
some one cut the rope. Before the moi
finally succeeded in hanging him until
he was dead, the officers grabbed him
and rushed him off to the prison, where
the mob was held at bay for some time
and finally order enough was secured fol-
speeches to be made by ex-Mayor Elan
nagan, Rev. DR.. Thomas ]. Potter and
the brother of Marshal Woodruff. While
the speeches we're being delivered the Of
ficers spirited the Spivey brothers into
the cellar of the Jail and thence out
through coal chute and made good their
escape with them to the Butler county
jail at Hamilton, o.. a distance OF Il
miles. The mob, then finding that II
had been beaten, dispersed, and the VIII
lage was quiet during the latter part OF
the night.
Condition of Injured.
Two of the men shot Thursday night
were in a very critical condition Friday
and the third is not yet out of danger.
John Woodruff, the marshal Of Oxford,
spent a comfortable night and was rest
ing easy but the physicians are still ap.
prehensive of his case. Ernest Jotten,
the school-teacher, is believed to be dy,
ing. He IS unconscious, and no hope
for him whatever is expressed by the at
tending physician. Jacob Manrod, dep
uty town marshal. spent a very restless
night and was still worse Friday.
Complications have risen in his case
which make his recovery very doubt
full. Word comes from Hamilton that
Louis Spivey cannot recover, but his
brother. Joseph, who escaped from the
mob SO often, may pull through. The
town was very quiet Friday and no fur
