Increase fin Exports.

St John, N. B., April 3.-Incom- plete statistics of the winter season just closed showed remarkable in- crease in the value of exports from this port to England and South Af- rica. The total value of exports to date Is s17,7S5,447. an increase of over s4,000,000 over the season of 1904-1905. One-sixth of this amount was represented by United States produce. It is estimated by shippers that final figures will show a total value of exports exceeding the sum of s20,000,000- In the elevator of one corporation there are stored nearly half a million bushels of grain and immense daily shipments con- tinue to arrive. It is estimated that the total grain exportation will reach 6.O00,00 bushels. of which 4,00e.- 900 bushels have already been shipped. The shipment of cattle al- ready exceeds by 1900 that of last year

PERRIELLO'S BROTHER.
Was the Chief Witness in the Mur- :
 der Trial To-Day.

The Perriello murder trial was re- stunned to-day at 12 o'clock and the case proved as tedious as it has been right along. The only interesting thing that occurred was during the examination of Joseph. one of the younger brothers of Perriello. The boy while on the stand proved a very stubborn witness and Attorney Kellogg could get very little infor- nation out of him. The young fel- low caused everyone in court to look up when on answering one of the questions put to him, he replied: Not by a damn sight" He was not rebuked by the court.
 It was expected that all the wit nesses would be heard this after noon. but it looks as though some will have to go on tomorrow. The defense will finish up in all proba- bility to-day, but there will be sev- eral witnesses called for rebuttal The case is proving long drawn out and almost everyone will be Slad when it is over. Nevertheless the court room is filled daily with coun- trymen of the man on trial who are awaiting the outcome with interest

THE SAME OLDSTORY
TROLLEY co GETS WEDGE IN
 IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.
Saturdays Conference is the Cause of the Present Troublesome
 Think Trolley Co Proposal .. is All Right,

It seems as though the harmony which has been among the Brooklyn Improvement committee since its or ganizatiOn is trife strained at the present time over the meeting with General Manager Sewell and Allan w. Paige on Saturday. Some of the members think that the meeting last Saturday was all right and are not backward in declaring the fact, while as printed in this paper last night, others assert that there was nothing doing but the usual talking with 10 results.
 h. (. Walker, who has been one of the most active members of the com mittee from the beginning, said this morning: T think that the company more than met us half way on Satur- day and for one was satisfied with the conference" But Mir Henderson and others of the Improvement club cannot see 1t in that light and think that the company is throwing their usual bluff.
 One of the members stated this morning that the individuals may not agree as to what they think about the conference of Saturday. but at our next meeting everything will he fix cd up all right. It cannot he suppos- ed that everyone thinks the same way on all subjects brought up hut as soon as a meeting has been held and these things discussed. all things will move along very smoothly. The only hitch that I know of is whether tle company will carry out its promises. If they will do all they told us and put it in such q way that they can not crawl out of 1t later. why we will all be only too willing to lend them a helping hand. But their action in the past does not promise anything for us in the future. We heard a large amount of talk about putting everything down in black and white hut we tied ourselves mp to no prom ises and will not do anything until after our next meeting. Your ac- count last night was about right and therr Is nothing to add"
 While the Brooklyn people stick together they are irresistible. but should they once become divided it will be all of. For three months, through thick and thin. they have not let any petty quarrels interfere with their plans and they do not pro- pose to do so now. They know inst they have all the better of the fight as yet and they will not give way an inch until they see something com ing from the trolley company. The meeting on Saturday will be discussei and fully understood af the meeting of the committee. in all probability. on Thursday night. and on Friday morning everybody will hc as rosy as ever as the wise heads know that if once discord hits this section their work VIII have gone for nOught.

BALKED IN DEATH
DOCTORS KEPT MAN ALIVE TO
 SAVE INSURANCE COMPANY.
For Three Days Physicians Worked With Might and Main-$3,000
 Insurance Was at Stake.

Chicago, April 3.--A dispatch to the Tribune from Cincinnati says: Physicians kept Joseph H. Wilson alive for three days after he had taken poison to end his life, and thus prevented the accomplishment of his wish to die before his $3,00O insur- ance policy. expired.
 Wilson was formerly wealthy leather dealer, but suffered reverses. Because of his financial difficulties his insurance was permitted to lapse March 22. It was then extended to April 1. Finding he was unable to pay, Wilson took laudanum on Fri day. He left letter to his wife, ex- blaming the circumstances and d. recting what should be done with the insurance money.
 The doctors kept him alive until yesterday, the day after the insur- ance policy had expired.

DYNAMITE IN BUILDING.
Watchman Found It and Then Con.

Cleveland, Ohio, April 3-The Lead CT to-day says: Enough dynamite was found under hoisting engine in the Taylor Arcade in Euclid avenue yes terday, to wreck that building, as well as half dozen others which clus- ter about it.
 Hurney Claypool, night watchman in the employ of the American Bridge company. which is building the Taylor Arcade. found the dynamite and Ia. ter, it is alleged, confessed to detec- tives that he placed the dynamite where 1t was found. because five of his fellow watchmen had been dis charged.
 This makes the second time that dynamite has appeared as a factor in the labor troubles resulting from dis agreement of the contractors cOnstruc- ting the building with the structural iron workers. The first time was when an attempt was made to wreck the Frankfort hotel. r-r-zrs-s--7s'''

PAPER BURNED OUT.
Loss to the Buffalo Times Will Be
 About S2OOO0O.

Buffalo, N. Y., April Sire early to-day practically destroyed the Eyen- ing Times building causing loss es- timated at $2OO,OOO. The loss is coy- cred by insurance. ~.. The building was one of the old landmarks of lower Main street, hay ing been built in 1870. It was four stories high and extended through the block from Main to Washington street.
 The fire which started from some unknown cause on the second floor, near the Main street end. swept through the upper floors in an incred- ibly short time. Some time after the fire was under control heavy ma chinery came crashing through from the third floor to the basement carry- ing several firemen with it. Bremen D. Reidy and William Coogan were rescued in an unconscious condition and removed to hospital The oth- CTS escaped with slight injuries. Reidy and Coogan will recover.
 At one time the Courier Autograph ic company on the north and Lundis hotel on the south were threatened but heavy fire walls saved both the buildings.
 Norman E. Mack. proprietor of the Times, was en route for Detroit last night. He was. notified of the fire when he reached St Thomas, Ontario, and returned to Buffalo this mo ming.
 The Times will be issued from the office of the Morning Express today.
 MT Mack on his arrival home viewed the ruins and later said:
 "1 will order new presses at once, and will rebuild as soon as I can get at it."
 He added that he had received of- fers of assistance from all his asso- ciates in the business and had ac- cepted the offer of George E. Mat. thews of the Express, because. that being a morning newspaper, it will be possible to run the two papers of without interfering with each other.

 SHIP TEST VOTE
IS BEING TAKEN AT CHICAGO'S
 CITY ELECTION. |
Only Aldermen Are Being Voted For But Trolley Ownership is the Issue-Hartford is Turning
 Out a Big Vote To-Day.

Chicago, April 3.-Springlike weather prevailed to-day while the voting for municipal ownership was in progress. Only aldermen are be- ing voted for, but the questions in- yolved in their selection are held 50 important that there is every indica- tion of very heavy vote being cast.
 The chief issues are whether or not Chicago shall proceed to operate the street railways, and whether $75 5,0O0,000 of street car certificates shall be issued for the purchase of the street car companies. The sa- loon license question has also evoked much feeling. The city council re- gently passed an ordinance placing the license fee at $1,000 and the liq- uor interests have made a strong fight against every alderman who is up for reelection who voted for the measure.
 A heavy vote was registered early in the day. .a.-

WERE WIDEAWAK
 BUT SIDE TRACKED
JOHN HENDERsON'S LETTER TO
 ALDERMEN IN 1905.
Shows That Brooklyn People Made Their Application Early Enough But Politicians and Corpor-
 ations Ignored Requests.

John Henderson takes exception to a remark made at the meeting of the aldermen last night to the effect that the people on the other side of the river didn't wake up to the serious ness of the situation in time to get the bridge at Bank street raised few feet and produces copy of a conl- munication submitted to the alder men year ago to show that Brook lyn was there on time, but the city fathers failed to listen to them. The letter reads as follows:
 Waterury, Conn.,, March 13. 1905. To the Honorable Board of Aldermen
 of the City of Waterbury:
 Gentlemen:-The assurance of get ting new railroad station leads the people of the Brooklyn district to think that certain public improve ments for which they have long been wanting may HOW be near at hand.
 This part of the city is In state of arrested development, largely due to the railroad bridges that span both of the thorOughfares that connect it with the rest of the city.
 With the new station as starting point something could be done to off set the present disadvantages. Im- perative necessity requires that there shall be another bridge across the river about midway between the pres ent bridges on Bank street and West Main street. Such bridge from Riverside boulevard near the entrance to Chase park, connecting with short street to the station. would bring new life to one of the oldest parts of the city and lead to improve ments in the whole district.
 Our praiseworthy mayor has not been seen very much over here. We are sure that if he came over he would see at glance that a new en- trance to the district is much needed.
 This is written for the purpose of calling your attention to the matter while you are considering how to pro- vide means for making the necessary changes in connection with the new station. A formal petition will be presented tn due time.
 Yours respectfully,
 JOHN HENDERSON, JR.
