stopped by the towerman because Of a
freight train in the block ahead of it
The second section, which closely fol-
olwed the first, was what is known as
the silk" train, carrying merchandise
The railway officials attribute the aeci-
dent to the failure of the operator to set
the signals against the second section.
They also believe that the brakeman Of
the first section failed to run back to flag
the second section.

The rear car of the first section was
telescoped and the car next to 1t was
badly shattered. The dead were occu-
pants of the last car, as were most of the
injured. The wreck tore down the tele-
graph wires. and there was some delay in
getting word of the disaster to the head
quarters of the road
The seriously injured were taken to a
hospital at OrtonYlle. MINI. Heroic work
was done by those on board the train in

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Commerce. and Industry Remain Dull Despite
Bright Outlook for the Grain Crop

New York. May 6-Dm's weekly re-
view OF trade will say tomorrow:
The increasingly bright outlook for the
wheat crop is responsible for a somewhat
better feeling in business as to the fu-
ture. But the actual volume Of trade.
while necessarily large because the daily
necessities Of a vast population are large,
is nevertheless slow, hating, and with
out enthusiasm
Taking the aggregate. and especially
In such basic trades as iron and steel
and dry goods. consumption is much below
producing capacity. and even concessions
in prices fail to produce activity.
Fundamental conditions. such as the
large supplies Of money and the generally
low stocks Of merchandise. are favorable.
but enterprise continues to wait for the
removal of uncertainties. and for that
courageous leadership which Is born OF
large faith In the future.
THE export trade Is much more vtgor-
Gus than the domestic. because manu-
facturers, no longer finding the home
market for their goods sufficient, are
diligently seeking outlets abroad, and
this is a process which Is sure to be
eventually beneficial to business as
whole.
Pig iron and finished steel production
is much below mill capacity and seems
to be receding. Curtailment Is still the
order in cotton goods, while woolens are
necessarily affected by tariff agitation.
The shoe trade Is fair, but not up to
high-water mark.
1T is noticeable that for the present
at least the trade recession seems to be
felt more keenly In the West than In the
the East and even the fine crop prospects
do not altogether offset the effect OF
lower farm values"

recovered and closed higher.
In wheat a resumption of manipulation
in the May option in Chicago caused
an advance In the price Of that particular
option, although declines occurred In the
faraway months.
Continued reports Of dry weather In the
Northwest are coming to be something
Of feature in the grain markets, al
though the consensus among conserva-
tive trade interests is that there has been
enough moisture for the present in this
section, and that harm will be avoided
II more rain comes within q reasonably
short space of time.
The district affected lies, Of course. In
the spring wheat region. and the needed
rain is for the crop just planted.
According to advance compilations and
estimates of to-morrow's bank state
ment the cash gain made by the clear
ing house institutions will not be quite
as large as that Of last week. although
a gain is still expected.

York, May 5.-Bradstreets will say

New York, May 5.-Bradstreets will say
tomorrow
Trade and industry remain quiet to
dull. with, on the whole, rather less doing
than in the week preceding. Unseason-
ably cool weather. with frosts. rains or
snow-North. East. and West-and exces-
sive moisture at the South, have made
for quiet in retail lines and retarded crop
growth or preparation to some extent.
Growing grain has not been unfavor-
ably affected: indeed. wheat and oats
have been benefited thereby. and spring
wheat seeding has been completed on a
record area, but corn plowing and plant
ing has been slightly retarded, as have
fruit and vegetable growth, and until
near the close Of the week cotton plant
ing and crop cultivation have been like
wise interfered with.
Industry has been rather quieter, nota-
bly, in this respect being building. partly
because of less activity In this line and
partly because Of strikes, Of which the
industrial unrest at some centers like
Chicago, where 1900 people are idle. is
illustrative.
Still May / has brought rather less
than expected disturbances. the most
widely disseminated trouble being that
among machinists. Iron and steel have
been rather quieter. with slowing down
of output reported. Idle cars are more
numerous, largely in the coal trade branch
Of transportation.
Tariff uncertainties promise 70 be pro-
longed, but the downward swing in COM
modities has made marked progress In
food stuffs, and this tendency seems in
creasingly manifest in other lines.

According to the police the Bowie
woman said the quarrel between the men
is of months standing. Warfield, who
lives at the same house, has been in the
habit of taking her to dances and other
places of amusement, much to the dis
pleasure of Reynolds. Last night when
Reynolds went to call on her he found
