Escape-suspects Arrested.

Chicago, Aug 31.--Without a word
of warning two men we're killed and
two others wounded by holdup men at
the barns of the Chicago City Railway

he was rising from bench where he
had been sleeping. The dead:
Frank Stewart, assistant clerk in the
cashiers office, shot through body;
died half an hour later.
John B. Johnson, motorman, shot
through head; died instantly.
The injured: William B. Edmond re-
ceiving clerk, shot in left thigh, will re-
cover; Henry Biehl, shot in head, will
recover.
The robbers took no chances but dis
posed of all the opposition of the en-
ployes before they entered the office.
Choosing the time when employees were
busily engaged in balancing up the re.
ceipts Of the night, just after the last
conductor had turned in his money and
left the barns, the robbers suddenly
appeared at the receiving window and
began shooting without warning. The
first bullet struck Stewart and he fell
to the floor without worG Biehl and
Edmond, who were sitting near Stew
art turned to see what was the matter
but before they could leave their chairs
they were rendered helpless by bullets
OF the robbers.
johnson, the motorman, who had
been asleep on bench in the outer
office, started up to go to the assist
ance Of mis- companions, but was shot
and killed before he could get on his
feet.
Making sure that all opposition had
been removed. the robbers then broke
open the door of the cashiers office
with sledge hammer and took from
the desk $4,000. They then made their
escape. Four men were arrested three
hours later on suspicion Of being inn
ated in the crime. They as yet
have not been identified.

worthy daughter of the famous Ham
burg, won the great Futurity race in
footing not to her liking, but in race
marred only by her swerve near the

$4,000 to the winner.
Her performance, the full six fur

TRADE REPORT.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says:
There is still no indication of de-
preston in trade and industry that
pessimists predicted would follow the
decline in securities. Conservatism
was developed by the uncertainty re-
garding the effect upon financial con-
diitons, but legitimate business is able
to secure funds as they are required,
and the more cautious progress of
business gives promise of greater per-
manent gain. Weak spots have been
disclosed and the technical position
strengthened, just as occurred in the
stock market REIMBURSEMENT after a
period of inflammation must of neces-
sity bring some losses, yet the outlook
is Frightened by the removal of threat
ened Industrial clouds. Dispatches
from all sections testify to the liberal
distribution Of merchandise and the
disposition to prepare for greater con-
sumption of all the necessaries of life.
