ternoon. at the residence of Fred Best,
II Gage street. which was discovered
just in season to prevent its deveiop-

made by Mrs. Best, who was about 10

that the trouble was in one OF the
closets. through which the chiinh%y
passed. In the closet was board upo''

Experts Believe Machine Can Easily
Be Made Fully Dirigible.
The Arrow, Captain Thomas s. Bald
wins airship, which Tuesday sailed over
the worlds fair grounds and portions Of
the city Of st. Louis, landing in a corn
field near Cahokia, ILL.,, is entered in the
100000 contest for dirigible balloons.
a. r. Knabanschue, who piloted the ma
chine, is a Toledo Ohio electrical engi-
neer, q years old. He said he had per-
feet control of his ship until his engine
went dead over the manufacturing build
ing at the worlds fair grounds. From
that point" continued Mr.. Knabanschue,
Il must acknowledge that 1 and the ma
chine were at the mercy Of the ten-mile
breeze in which we had become embraced
and until the landing was safely made
over In Illinois higher power than mere
machinery stood between me and destruc-
ton"
Experts believe the Baldwin balloon
will be completely dirigible as soon as
slight corrections in its mechanism are
made. 1t is cigar shaped, of Japanese
silk, ffty-four feet in length and seven
teen feet in diameter and requires 5000
cubic feet of gas to initiate it. The frame
attachment is thirty feet in length. 1t
carries a double cylinder, seven-horse-
power gasoline engine, making 1000 revo-
lutions a minute, to drive the propellers.
One of the chief new features is an ar
rangement whereby the ship is pulled
through air, instead of being pushed.

Big building Collapsed.

With terrific crash the building occu-
pied by the Continental Savings bank, at
No. 19 Madison street, Memphis, Tenn,
collapsed, burying number of persons in
the wreckage. So far as known only one
person, a negro saloon porter, remains un-
der the debris. The other victims were
quickly rescued by the fire and police de-
partments. Joseph Fischer, tailor. who
had shop in the building. Is the only per-
son known to have received serious injuries.
He was badly mashed about the body, but
will recover. That many people were not
killed is almost miraculous. The building,
which was recently detached from similar
structure, was a fOur-St0ry Office house.
Excavations had been made at the corner
adjoining and fifty workmen who were en-
ployed there heard peculiar cracking
noise and it was seen that the bank bull
ding was in danger of falling. The labor
ers Immediately sought safety and reached
the street just in the nick of time, as the
building fell with loud report moment
later. Those in the bank and offices also
heard the warning noise and large num-
Der reached the street in safety before the
crash came. All of the occupants of the
building have been accounted for and the
negro saloon porter is believed to be alive
in the cellar.

STORM FORT TRENCHES
Japanese Drive Russians from Out

Japanese Drive Russians from Outer
Line of Works at Port Arthur.
The general assault on Port Arthur
which began Oct. "a developed into a
fierce battle Sunday. According to a
hitherto infallible authority the Japan
ess flung heavy forces against the fortress
in their third attempt to obtain a COM
handing position.
The Japanese have been preparing for
this assault for a month. 1t is believed
that they did not expect to capture the
town on this occasion, but to accomplish
another important forward step. The
plan was adopted following the first as
sault, when thousands Of lives were sac
ri6ced in an attempt to swarm over the
Notifications by mere force Of numbers
This assault, like the previous one, fol-
lowed weary weeks of trench digging
gun mounting and small engagements.
In the opinion of experts the assault
win cease when the japanese have won
positions that will enable them to creep
steadily closer under the noses Of the
Russian guns 1t Is believed that two
moro general assaults will be necessary
before the distance between the bellig-
erent lines IL shortened sufficiently for
an attempt to enter the main forts and
make the end of the siege practicable.

Good feeling, In some instances
closely approaching optimism, domin.
ates the general trade situation, but
the undertone is withal one Of conserv-
atism, and there is a general desire
to avoid overtrading. Past reports or
good wholesale trade are reflected In
an increased speeding Of the wheels
of industry, but, except in portions OF
the West and Southwest, where cool
weather has helped retail distribution.
and in the South, where good prices
for cotton induce free marketing OF
the crop, there is a disposition to re-
gard the weat Their as 100 warm for best
results In final distribution. Railway
earnings turned the corner In August,
the roads Of the country showing a
gain Of a fraction Of l per cent In net
over 1908. Collections have continued
to hold the improvement noted last
week, being especially good at the
South.

Dun's weekly review
| CljedOa of Chicago trade says:
The variable weather
conditions were somewhat Of a him
drance to retail lines, but notwith-
standing this there was little indica-
ton of reduced consumption in the ne
cessities. The production of leading
manufacturers maintains steady adj
vance and is better distributed, while
prices exhibit rising tendency in fur
mace product.
New orders are notable in ship-build-
ing and rolling stock in anticipation Of
transportation expansion by lake and
rail. These commitments involve large
expenditures and are indicative of tho
improved confidence felt throughout
business circles.
Developments in the line Of new en-
terprise are found encouraging and
building requirements disclose no
diminution. Lumber receipts, 45,436,-
coo feet, are the heaviest this season,
and compare with S9.13i,O 900 feet a
year ago. The recent drain on yard
stocks is followed by a prompt replen-
ishment, and heavy factory needs are
being provided for. Distribution OF
other commodities has widened, and
railroad traffic returns exceed those OF
the corresponding week last year.
East-bound forwarding made a sharp
gain In foodstuffs, especially OF pack
ing-house product. Wholesale dealings
make the best showing within the last
two years. Buying is more character
lied by discount taking. and, while
merchants select cautiously. the dispo-
sition to limit their extent Is less ap-
parent than during last month. In
terror advices generally are satisfac-
tory as to merchandising and crop con-
ditions, winter wheat having made an
excellent start.
The situation in metals attracts con-
siderable attention, and the remark
able reawakening to activity imparts
much strength throughout other indus
trial departments. Aside fsom rails.
contracts reached heavy aggregate,
and while pig iron is in best demand
there was also liberal buying OF struc-
tural material, plates and merchant
forms. Factory supplies have run into
much tonnage for early consumption
by car and machinery interests. Hard
ware and farm machinery producers
report a steady gain in output and
the furniture and woodworking
branches are all busy.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict number thirty-five, against twen-
ty-one last week and twenty eight .
year ago.
