MILITARY BALL.
Cddet Officers Score a Decided
Succrss Last Night.

Brilliant Assembly of Society Folk
Dance the Hours Away Splendid
Music, Floor and Decorations, With
Sprightly Crowd Add to Pleasures of
the Occasion.
Last night the Military Ball was
given by officers OF the Cadet Corps.
The affair was great social success.
The crowd was not as large as the one
in attendance last May at the dedica-
ti0n OF the Armory, but the affair was
not any the less enjoyable on that
score.
About one hundred couples were on
the floor. The men predominated al
though there was g8odly attendance
Of ladies' The costumes of the latter
were brilliant, and 10 fact they were
the finest ever displayed at similar
event here.
Few blue uniforms were ia evidence
although the number of cadets in
uniform was larger than ever before
seen.
The decorations were elaborate and
very pretty, being strictly military in
tone. The floor was in the best posi-
Bile condition and added much to the
pleasure of the affair.
Toerges Orchestra of Pittsburg,
furnished the music and they did even
better than they did on the occasion
of their first visit here last May.
The Delicatessen had the refresh
ments in hand and they filed their
part of the entertainment to the sat-
isfaction of every one.
Before the ball opened the Cadet
Band under the direction of Waiter
A. Mestrezat, gave a concert which
was very much enjoyed. The band Is
making splendid progress and they
played better than ever before last
night.
Twenty-four numbers comprised the
dancing list and this with several ex-
tras engrossed the attention of the
dancers until late hour this morning.
There was no formal reception OF
guests. This feature was dispensed
with for several reasons.
Several cut of-town parties attended
the affair and they all voted it a
charming success

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Gross Earnings of Railroads
Show the Usual Gains
Over Last Year.
Numbered BY STORMY WEATHER
Wholesale Houses Receiving Liberal
orders-Great Strength and Activ-
ity in Building MateriaI-Scarcity
of Fuel Retards iron industry.

New York, Feb. 21.-R. G. Dunn &
Co.'S weekly review of trade, issued
today, says in part:
Just as the railway congestion be-
gan to give way before the vigorous
efforts of traffic managers, the situa-
ton became further complicated by
the worst snow storm of the season.,
and the movement of merchandise
was again interrupted. Latest figures
of gross earnings show the usual
gains, February thus far SURPRISING
by 17.6 per cent last year, when I'M
usual delay was caused by severe
storms, and 1901 by 176 per cent. In
creased cost of operation, however,
necessitated further advances in rates.
Trade was interrupted to a consider
able extent by the inelement weather,
except in certain seasonable lines,
notably heavy wearing apparel.
Wholesale houses dealing in staples
have received liberal orders and much
forward business has been placed.
Jobbers drge quicker shipments On old
orders, while travellers send in many
new contracts. Manufacturers of pa
per, straw goods and clothing report
conditions fully as satisfactory as a
year ago, aside from some interrupt
ton by labor controversies.
Conditions in the silk industry are
shown by enormous imports Of raw
material, and one large throwster has
recently rejected orders sufficient to
occupy his plant for two years.
Bids are invited for extensive build
ing operations, giving strength and
activity to materials and supplies.
Although many new blast furnaces
are nearing completion, and others
will be finished within six months, the
actual output of pig iron decreases be.
cause fuel cannot be secured. Last
weeks moderate Improvement in the
situation has been succeeded by a de-
cided setback, many more furnaces
being compelled to bank through lack
of fuel. Reports of agreements to
supply quantities of coke to favored
plants are denied There is little dis
position to anticipate pig iron require
ments far into the future, however, as
there is always the hope OF a restora-
ton of approximately normal condi-
lions. Steel billets are arriving from
abroad and find a market at interior
mills, but on domestic business for
future delivery there is some discrep'
ancy between bid and asking prices.
AS the season advances there are
more contracts available for the cree
ton of buildings, bridges and railway
extension, strengthening the market
for structural material, which is one
of the firmest features. A heavy ton
mage of plates, sheet and pipe has
been sold at full figures, while more
Canadian rail contracts have gor9 +
European mills.
Failures this week numbered 247
in the United States against $50 a
year ago, and 26 in Canada as COM
pared with 81 last year.

Lost Minutes Discovered.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 21.-The min
utes Of the Nebraska constitutional
convention of more than quarter of
century ago, which it was supposed
were burned at the time of the remov-
al Of the capital in 1875, were found
intact yesterday in a basement vault
OF the state house. For years an I'M
successful search has been made for
the missing minutes, in order to settle
disputed constitutional questions, and
their resurrection Is regarded as most
timely as source Of information for
courts and attorneys.

DEFENSE RESTS.
Arguments Soon to Begin in
Trial of Martucio

Expert Witnesses Recalled by State in
Rebuttal TO Defense-Jury Held
Over Sunday -Arguments by COun-
sci VIII Occupy Time the First of
the Week.
Little progress has been made in
the Martucio trial since Friday noon.
The examination of physicians as
expert witnesses was continued by
the defense. Doctors Fitch. Glib
bons, Edmundson and others we're
called.
Saturday morning Harry Muldoon
the stenographer for Cox and Baker,
and who was sent TO take the testi
mony given at the trial before the
justice given to Martucio at the
home oil Edward White soon after
the crime was committed, testified
as to the evidence recorded by him
on that occasion.
Policeman Shoemaker. who was
present at the examination OF the
prisoner in the sheritf's office was
called to testify as to condition OF
prisoners person.
Frank Cox was called as witness
by the defense, and testified that he
had heard whispered conversation
between Mrs. Edward White and
her daughter, after they came in the
court room on the day that the girl
gave her testimony. and that Mrs.
White had pointed in the general
direction of where the prisoner was
sitting. The attempt is being made
to prove that Mrs White deslgnat
ed the prisoner to the little girl, ne
fore the latter went on the witness
stand Cox and Baker were appoint
ed to defend the prisoner at the DC
tober term OF court, but were after
ward released, when the trial was
postponed, and VIM. E. Glasscock
was appointed in their stead, and
Mr. Cox is now in no way connected
with the case
After the testimony of Mr. Cox,
the defense rested It's case and the
state began to call witnesses in re
buttal. All the physicians who had
been summoned for expert testimony
by the defense were recalled by the
State. Also deputy sheriff A. l..
Demoss, Geo. Rogers and others.
The witnesses IN rebuttal to testi
monv of defense were continued af
ter dinner, but it VAS thought the
taking of evidence might be con-
cluded, and arguments begin some
time this afternoon.
In any event the jury will have to
be held over Sunday 1t has been on
duty continuously now since Monday
morning, and has not been allowed to
leave the conrt house, except TO take a
walk for exercise, accompanied by the
sheriff only. Jurymen and the public
would welcome some method of exam
lining witnesses in which tilts between
attorneys could be avoided, and trial
pushed to conclusion. The attorneys
have been remarkably good natured in
this case, but they have fought every
inch of the way where there was a
shadow of chance for objection to be
raised against questions being pro-
pounded by the opposite side.
The court house will probably be
crowded more than ever, when the
arguments by counsel are taken up.
The jurymen will have Sunday TO
rest as best they can, housed up in
the court house, and not allowed to
see anyone outside their fellow jur-
Ors
