INCREASED TRADE
 IN STAPLE GOODS Merchants Are Gradually Ada
 ing to Their Stocks STEEL BUSINESS BETTER Big Orders For Steel Rails Give An Impetus To Business In Finished
 Products-cIothlng Trade
 Reported Better.

New York, February 2S.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Distribution of staple goods by job bers tends to increase as the spring buy ing season advances and the large num- Der of buyers excursions draw mer- chants to the marnet, but there is con sensus of opinion that buying is in a high degree conservative and that staple goods and what may be classed as nec- essaries comprise the heavier part of the business done Retail trade is very quiet, except where price reductions on winter weight goods tempt buyers and final distributfve demand pnquestionably feels the reduced purchasing power of the public at large, due to short time or reduction of earnings in industry. Whole sale trade is quiet as whole and cotton fabrics. notably print cloths and fan nelettes have been sharply cut; stocks of the former are reported to be piling up desipte the reduced time worked. Three-fourths of the normal production Is reported working. Reports from other industries are irregular. The improve ment in finished lines of steel noted last week has gone further, and a slightly larger capacity Is now at work, but crude output seems to be no larger; some mer- chant furnaces are reported shutting down because of accumulations of stocks and prices of some pig iron are easier. A favorable development in finished steel is the placing of orders by some roads for rails in addition to those noted weeks ago. The shoe industry does not gain much at the east, but western reports are of fuller capacity working.
 Wool goods trade reports are not very cheerful, though the clothing trade is re- ported as being better.

FOur-Ys Year Old Mary Dalks
Terribly Injured in View Of
Her PIaymateS.
MOTHER is BURNED ALSO
Dress Became Igniisd from
Flames of Burning Newspapers
In Mary Street Yard.

While playing around bonfire of
newspapers this morning four-year-
old Mary Dalke was burned so ter
ribly that Dr. William Davis, who
was summoned at $50 o'clock, gave
it as his opinion, after making her
as comfortable as possible, that the
little tot would not survive her in
juries. Her mother was severely
burned on both hands IN her fren-
zied efforts to save the child.
The girl and three or four other
children were romping about the
yard of the Dalke home In Mary
street, near Alpine cemetery, while
a pile of newspaper was burning
The Dalke child got too close to the
flames and, in a twinkling, her dress
was ignited. The garment was
burned from her body and her ter
rified companions screamed as the
flames tortured the child, who cried
out in agonized tones. Her mother,
rushing to her side, tried to smother
the flames, but not until her hands
were horribly burned.
Neighbors f1ocked to the scene and
DR.. Davis was sent for. He found
little Mary in agony, with her hair
partly burned from her head and her
face, chest, abdomen and limbs
burnt.
After doing all he could for her
and her mother, Dr. Davis left her
at the house in the care Of willing
hands.

DISPUTE OVER
PAYING FARE
Three FiTeman Claimed TheyNeGd
Not Pay on Trolley Car and
Delay Resulted.
PASSENGERS THREATEN SUIT

Because of the refusal of three
local firemen to pay their fares
from Fords to this city this noon,
while returning from the Gross fire,
the entire trolley system in this sec
tion was hampered. Cars were not
running on schedule time until late
this afternoon.
The firemen in question were
members of Lincoln Engine Com
pany, James Dunham, Walter Mar
tin and Charles Mckenzie. There
were numerous other local fire fight
ers on the car, No. 1,046, but they
paid, to avoid any delay or trouble.
The conductor and motorman be-
came indignant and stopped the car
many times, until nearly an hour
was lost. Two passengers said they
would positively sue the company
for losing their trains The car
crew attempted to forcibly eject the
firemen, but the number of firemen
prevented them. One of the fremen
tried to start the car with the bell
rope, but instead he rung up ten
fares on the register. There were
numerous other passengers on the
car, the majority of whom seemed
to enjoy the proceedings.
District Superintendent Van Du-
sen registered a complaint after the
car had been sidetracked at the local
car barn. At the latter place some
of the passengers got off and walked
down Smith street, while others
waited until the car started again.

STATE BOARD TANGLE
Arguments Will Be Heard at

August 4.

The State Board for the Equaliza-
tion of Taxes sat at the court house
In New Brunswick and heard testi-
mony in the matter on appeal of the
Susquehanna Coal Company VS.. the
Township of Madison, all day yester-
day. Numerous witnesses were
heard. The Susquehanna Coal Com
pany applied for reduction from
100000 to $4,000. The valua-
tion of $209, 900 was recently affirm
ed by the Middlesex county board
Clerk William A. Spencer was pres
ent and spoke in behalf of the coun-
ty board and the plaintiffs were rep
resented by Vredenburgh, Wall &
Carey, of Jersey City.
A resolution was received, signed
by the Madison township authorities,
requesting that the amount be re-
duced. The resolution was the cause
of considerable comment among
members of the county board. 1t
seems almost out of the question for
the township authorities to recon-
mend the reduction, when, on the
other hand, the board is fighting it.
Arguments will be heard on Au-
gust A at the state house in Trenton.
The county board decided to re-
sumo the review work on Tuesday,
when they will visit Highland Park
and South River.

DOG QUESTION
Society Objects to Shooting and
RuzzIiHg Of CANNES viii
Get Legal Advice.
PLAN FOR WORK HORSE PARADE

The matter of shooting and muzzl-
ing dogs was the subject of consid-
cradle discussion at meeting of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals last night at the home
of Mrs. M. F. Audsley, 46 Gordon
street.
President ]. w. Henderson has
watched the process Of shooting ca
mines by the assistant dog catcher
and does not approve of it. The
organization does not favor the muz-
cling of dogs, for the reason that
animals suffering from fieas or other
insects cannot protect themselves.
They propose to SECURE legal advice
in the matter. their counsel, Jo-
seph q. Stricken, is out of town.
Plans were advanced for the work
horse parade, to be held here on La
Dor day. Entries may be made
without charge to ]. w. Henderson
or Mrs. Audsley.
The organization reviewed the
work accomplished since its reor-
ganization and those present con-
cluded that there is little suffering
among horses in this city at the pres
ent time, and that the organization
has been we'll rewarded in its efforts.
They have agents out, enforcing to
the letter the rules adopted in re-
gard to handling horses.
