Business Is Better Than
Usual at This Season.
The Retail Trade Is Brisk and
Collections More Prompt.
Primary Cotton Market Is Quiet.

New York, July 1o-R. G. Dun e.

There is not .hc customary COM
plant of midsummer dullncss in gem
eIal trade channels, while the demand
for scaSonabc fabrics is rapidly de-
pletinS stocks that threatened to be
carried over. Brisk retail trade is ac-
companiad by more prompt collections
and many cities that were slow to re-
Spond to the better feeling now send
satisfactory reports.
Quiet conditions prevail in the prim-
airy markets for cotton goods, but the
mills arc fully occupied and there is no
prospect of easier terms, owing to the
large amount IF business and contracts
unless extensive cancellations arc re-
ccived The strength of the market is
due TO the statistical position, buyers
being compelled to wait longer for de-
Everies than ever before in the history
OF the industry. 1t is also noted that
requests are urgent for earlier for
WardinS than the date under contract,
showing the light stocks in other than

relief during the balance of this year

| Worcester. Mass, July 12.-Thc stat,
police, who, for the past three day
have been investigating the murder o
Charles l.. Burnap in Shrewsbury Mon
| day night, today were following tw,
| conflicting theories developed by wit
| ncsSCs who have thus far been exam.
| incd in connection with the case
One of the theories is that Burnay
| was killed by some one who had beer
with him at the Lily Pond house neal
which the mans body was found ant
who had followed him from the place
to shoot him.
The other theory is that the mar
was shot at some remote place, posi-
bly, while i'll a boat on Lake Quinsig-
almond, and the body WAS brought t.
the spot where it was found on Mon
d3y night.
Tho police admit that they arc hav-
ing difficulty in getting at the facts
because Of the reluctance of persons
who may have been at the Lily Pond
house. that night, to say anything
about it.
The theory that Burnap was killed
~ some one who followed him from
the Lily Pond house developed, the po-
lice say, from the stories of several
witnesses. including that Of James w.
Stevens, who says that he was at the
Lily Pond house before Burnap was
ordered out Of the place because he
had no money.
stevens says that Eurnap was pay

nan, who has been arrested in connoc-
ton with the case and that another
man objected. When the trouble came
to head Stevens says. Special OH
Ger Kelley of Shrewsbury. who was at
the house, displayed his badge and or
dered Burnap to leave. Stevens SAYS
that Burnap was ugly ana that Kelley
enforced his order by showing his re-
volvcr. Burnap did not leave. according
I" stevens. until Kelley had practical

The theory that Burnap may have
met death in boat developed from the
story of George w. Dewsbury, janitor

the night of the murder. all coming

Inc fact that there was no blood on
hurnap's shirt strengthens the belief
that the body may have been sccrctcd
until the clothing that was bloody hal

where it would be easily discovered.
IN connection with the belief that the
shooting may have followed trouble at

 In the history of social supremacy there $ bnt one parallel to this. It is that of the sEsglish dandy, Brnmmel, gay, vapid, foolish, Iover of fine clothes and poodles and pet of women and princes. N After career of eighteen years, during which he enjoyed the friendship of George IV snd his eourtiers of high degree, Brummel sCas forced by adverse circumstances to ban- ishment in France, svhere he ended his life in poverfy, the victim of delnsions. In his last days he imagined that princes, lords and ladies' once more farvned upon him, and he held regular courts in his miserable apartment.
