r.. G. DAN g. Co. Report a General Ina
pROvement In All Lines.
NEW YORK, July 11.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
Business again responds to improved
conditions. Retail distribution of mer-
chandise is accelerated by more sea-
sonable weather and fewer labor con-
troversies, while wholesale and job
bing trade, especially at the interior,
shows the encouraging effect of bright
er agricultural prospects. There is the
customary excessive demand for farm
hands. In one extreme case labor
sold at auction for So a day, while
train loads of men have been seized
before reaching their original destina-
tion. Reports of holiday traffic and
trade in holiday goods indicate no
diminution in purchasing power, and
semiannual inventories show a more
gratifying situation than expected.
There is less than the usual midsum-
mer idleness in manufacturing, except
in the cotton industry. Opening Of
fall lines at Baltimore meet with good
returns, there is seasonable activity in
dry goods at Boston, reports from Phil
adelphia indicate that lumber and
building materials are in brisk demand,
while railway traffic and industrial ac-
tivity ara most satisfactory at Chicago.
Liabilities of commercial failures for
the first week of July amounted to $2,
829,303, of which $1,5SS,599 were in
manufacturing, $1,012,254 in trading
and $22S, ,45o in other commercial lines.
Failures this week numbered 194 in the
United, States against 1913 last year and
"a in Canada compared with 10 year
ago.

ALL HANDS SAVED.
Life Savers Took off 267 from the Bark
Vera Cruz III.

Beaufort. N. c., May 10.-More def
mite news was received. tonight, regard
ing the wreck of the Portuguese bark
Vera Cruz III at Portsmouth, on the
south side of Ocracokc inlet GO miles
north of here. The only communication
is by boat to this place and the boat
which arrived, today, brings intelligence
that there were Pol passengers, all
Portuguese and crew of 16. All were
rescued by the Portsmouth life saving
station crew, but tone person died few
minutes after the rescue.
The Vera Cruz was in charge of a
local pilot, having put in at Ocracok"
inlet for water. She struck the outer
bar and then on the inner bar hard and
fast. nearly two miles from the life
saving station. A gale was blowing and
the sea was very rough, making the
work of rescue extremely dangerous.
Some of the cargo was landed, mainly
whale oil. of which 60 tons was on
board. The wind continues from the
northeast and it is believed the vessel
will be total loss.

ball fast and accurately. There were
some pretty close calls during the game
but fast work saved them. Coburn also
showed good head work in critical cases
and played the game for all it was
worth. Whitaker pitched a fine game,
not allowing many hits and keeping
them we'll scattered. Coburn excellcd
the visitors in base running, taking
more chances successfully and making
every point count for more.
The visitors showed that they have
the material for a rafting good little
team and that with some good hard
practice under competent coaching they
would be able to make the other teams
in the league step along lively.
The double umpire system was used
for the game, Coombs of Colby, being
Coburn's choice and Bean, Leavitt's.
In the seventh inning Coombs was be-
hind Irish, judging balls and strikes
and Dennison was at the bat. He
caught one fairly and smashed it
straight for the pitchers box. 1t was
too hot for Irish to handle, and
Coombs. in attempting to dodge it, got
fairly in front of it, catching it in the
side. 1t was a fierce clip and laid him
out so that he was unable to stand. DR..
.bbott attended him and took him
home in his team. This was very
unfortunate as he was scheduled to
pitch for Colby in the afternoon in the
game with Massachusetts. 1t is not
thought, however, that the results will
be unusually serious and that he will
be around again all right in a few days.

TOW in the Clark county Jail at Win

seven men left Winchester, at mid
night, Saturday. Teaching JaCkson's
Ferry. 10 miles distant, at 80 i. NJ.
they left their buggics and in canoes
crossed the Kentucky river to Madison
county. They proceeded on foot to the
! homo Of Mrs. A. Haggin, Jctt's mother,
two mites from the Ferry.
SIX Of the posse were stationed
around the dwelling and Sheriff Me
chord and Deputy Stckcly approached
the front door and knocked. Jets
mother answered and after some par
lcying admitted that Curtis was with
in. They were admitted and found
lett awake but in bed.
He shook hands with the sheriff ana
said that he would give no trouble
Rcacbing under his pillow he drew oul
| his pistol and turned it over to his
, mother to keep. lie made no show of
| resistance and was landed in Jail at
| Winchester by daylight.
Jctt's stepfather, A. Haggin. charges
that when Jet reached his house. last
night, from Jackson, he proceeded to
draw his pistol on him and ordered him
to get out of the neighborhood. Haggin
went to Richmond and swore out Il
warrant charging Jet with breach of
tho peace by assault with q pistol. In
the Jail, today, Jet was communicative
on all matters save the killing of Mar
cum.
III get out of this all right" was
the only statement he would make
which could be construed as reference
to the charge. He said he wanted TO
be tried in Breathitt county. He was
bitter i'll dcnOuncing his uncle who had
had him arrested and said that the
score would be eVcned up when he was
at liberty.
When asked about the sta tement that
five men would testify that he killed
Marcum, he sncered and replied:
wv hats that to you?"
Jet IS rs years old athletic in build
with deep set, keen eyes, and has bushy
red hair. That he submitted to arrest
was an agreeable surprise to the Off
GERS, who feared an encounter. Jctt
denied that he drove his stepfather
from home.
He will be arraiGned, Tuesday, and it
is supposed that he will be transferred
to the jackson district for trial.
