OVERDUE LINER SAFE.
Great Anxiety Had Been Felt Be- cause of NOnarriyaI of St. Louis.

Great Anxiety Had Been Felt Be-
 cause of NOnarriyal of St. Louis.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Much distress among people in this city was relieved by the announcement last evening that the ocean steamer St. Louis, more than five days overdue, had been sighted off Nantucket light.
 It is very unusual for steamship to be five days late, and in view of the fact that so much was said about the bad condition of the St. Louis boilers great anxiety was felt by all persons who had friends or relatives on board
 According to the message received, the steamer was going dead slow. Sig nals were made to the South Shoal lightship, but owing to the fact that a heavy gale was blowing they were unintelligible. The slow rate of speed at which the St. Louis was travelling indicates that unless she should be as- sisted she will not reach New York un- til late today. Appearances indicated that the St. Louis was short of steam power, and the signals were thought to imply that trouble with her boilers had been experienced.
 The St. Louis sailed from Southamp- ton Jan. 3.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
Fuel Continues Scarce-Great Staples
 Maintain Firm Tone.

Fuel Continues Scarce-Great Staples
 Maintain Firm Tone.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Fuel shortage is still the one seriously disturbing element in the industrial sit uation. Transporting facilities have been diverted from other merchandise, to the disadvantage of shippers, yet iron furnaces are unable to secure suf- fcient supplies of coke and many other manufacturing plants are closed be- cause of inadequate coal deliveries. Mines are more fully operated, but there is no prospect of normal condi- lions until spring.
 Quiet conditions in the iron and steel markets do not mean dullness or di- minishing consumption, but merely the oversold conditions of furnaces and mills, together with great uncertainty about keeping plants active on day to day supply of fuel. Inquiries are numer Ous, especially in structural lines, but makers are not ready to accept bids until the future appears more definite.
 Only moderate fluctuations have oc- cured in the great staples, with the tendency upward and conspicuously firm tone in evidence. Foreign in- quiries continue on large scale, and in many cases there would be a much heavier export movement if the grain could be moved promptly to the sea- coast. Shipments of wheat, including four, from all ports of the United States for the week were 3,797 ,S64 bushels as compared with 4,34S, ,431 bushels in the corresponding week last year.
 Increased receipts of live stock fail to depress prices. Cotton is also maintained at a steady position by lower crop estimates and a uniform consumptive demand. Higher prices have been charged for refined sugar, and raw grades are firm, but weakness is the feature in coffee, owing to ex- cessive supplies at all points.
 Failures for the week numbered 267 in the United States against 334 last year, and 38 in Canada compared with 40 year ago.

House Passes a Large Number-A
 Lively Debate.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The house devoted the day to private war claims, passing about twenty. The two fea- lures of the day were the defeat of a claim of B. F. Moody x Go. of Keokuk. Ia.. for the payment of the amount de- ducted from their contract for furnish ing equipment to the Third Iowa caval- ry by the famous commission which unearthed the army contract frauds in St. Louis in 1863 and the fight of Mr. Payne, the floor leader of the majority. against an omnibus resolution to refer ninety southern claims aggrega ting $40O,0O0 for stores and supplies taken by the Union army during the civil war to the court of claims for finding of fact under the Tucker act.
 The former bill led to lively con- troversy between two Iowa members, Messrs. Smith and Hedge MT. Hit Qll), the chairman of the foreign af- fairs committee, was the stenographer of the commission and was able per sonally to corroborate MT Hedge in his opposition to the bill. The combina- ton in favor of the omnibus claims resolution was too strong for Mir. Payne, but on the final s vote the quo rum failed. As the previous question had been ordered the vote on the adop- tion of the resolution will be the first thing in order on the next claims day.

Freight Trains Crashed Together at
 Union City Yesterday.

Two freight trains crashed together in Union City yesterday afternoon. The regular freight which switches at Union City at about 3 o'clock was leaving siding onto the main track when a double-header going south at a pretty fair rate of speed crashed in- to the rear end. Four cars were bad Iy smashed, one completely, and an other being lifted from the trucks and turned upside down on the side of the track The engineers and fremen saved themselves by jumping. AS a result of the accident, in which for tunately. no one was injured, traffic was delayed about five hours. The accident is said to have been caused by neglecting to flag the double-head- CT, which had the right of way.

Annual Masonic Ball Took Place Last

Evening.
 The annual Masonic ball which took place at Town hall last evening was in every way successful. A large dele gation was present from Waterbury and few guests were present from New York. An excellent supper was served in the banquet room of which all partook.
 While two of the plumbers in the employ of Joseph Suffa were engaged in drawing a, sled load of plumbing material and ladders over the road near the Masonic hall yesterday, the sled suddenly slipped onto very icy portion of the road which caused it to capsize. The horse became some what frightened, but did not do much damage
 Services as usual in the different churches tomorrow. Mass will be celebrated at St Johns at 1O:45 a. m.
 Something of a novelty in the sport of coasting appeared on Cutler hill last evening in the form of a large double-ripper with sleds about two feet in length and the ripper board over sixteen feet long. It can easily be imagined how near to the ground the center part of the board would be when the ripper contained a very large load.
 John Dunigan of Lowell, Mass, who has been spending the past week in town, returned home to-day.
 The wreck on the main line of the Consolidated road near Beacon Falls last evening caused the 7:1O train to be delayed greatly and consequently the mail was not distributed until a late hour.

pfsbrow Found Not Guilty.

2 RIVERHEAD, N. Y, Jan. T.-Louis A. Disbrow was acquitted on the charge of killing Clarence Foster, at Good Ground on the night of June g. The verdict was generally anticipated and was reached by the jury after very brief deliberations. The case for the prosecution was throughout weak, the strongest point made against the ac- cused being that he was the last person seen with Foster and Miss Lawrence on the night of the tragedy. The con- tention of the defense was that Foster and the girl committed suicide.

TANGIER, Jan. 1.-The latest news received here from Fez indicates that operations against the pretender com menced Jan. Il. No official informa- tion has been received since that date, but rumors from Tetuan indicate that perial forces. These rumors are con- sidered to be quite credible because of the well known incapacity of the com, manders who were intrusted with the expedition. The tribal outbreaks around Tangier continue, but the local authorities are taking stronger meas, ures to suppress them.
