Purchases are governed by unusual conservatism, and yet are large la volume. Failures are rather numerous, tjttt are in nearly all cases the results of a long continued commercial strain, since the foreign disaster of last November. It is true that prices of nearly all products are very low, and the margin for profit is very narrow while competition is severe; but the •olume of trade is larger than in any Bte^ioas year, in spite of the fact that some ©ranches of business are retarded.

It was reported that Lizzie Yates, a little Omaha (Neb.) girl who suffered an assault at the hands of Joe Coe, a dis­ reputable negro, had died. A huge mob gathered at the jail where Coe was con­ned. While one portion gave pro­ longed battle to Omaha's ninety police­ men and the entire fire department, another, with battering rams, sledges, chisels, and powder, forced the It terior steel work of the jail, took the culprit and hanged him to an electric trolley Wire in front of1^ the jail It was the Wildest ttae Omaha ever saw.

Eiorrr persons were almost instantly killed by the explosion of the tug Charles Parker in the South branch of the river, near the Archer avenue bridge, Chicago. The Parker, together with the tugs Van Schaick, K. P. Perry and M.

A moment later the debris showered upon the ground on either side of the river.

He could not identify the one alleged to have belonged to Curtis. Attorney Foote said: "What did you mean by testifying that you had seen Curtis carry pistol and identify so positively the weapon shown you!" "I swore to a lie," replied Jeransen. He declared in answer to questions that he had sworn as he did because he was afraid of the police officers, and testified to please them. An anonymous letter signed "Jack the Shooter" was received at a newspaper office in which the writer says he killed Officer Grant Tho letter says: "It wasn't Curtis at all. The ninny was drnnk and I was going through him. The cop caught and pulled me, but I pulled him with my little gun. Curtis was a bloody fool to run, but the duffer was drunk." DEPUTY UNITED STATES MARSHAL THOMAS, of Springfield, Mo., confirms the sensational rumor of the adventure of the Colorado miners who discovered a few days ago a band of outlaws conceal­ ed in a cave at White River Hills, near the Arkansas border. They entered one of the numerous caves in the southern portion of Stone County in search of silver mines. While exploring the cave the light from tho torches oL the miners suddenly revealed just ahead of the party four,bright Winchester rifles leaning against the rocky wall of the cavern. In an instant four well-dressed men sprang from a place of conceal­ ment, and seizing the guns commanded them to halt A brief conference was held, in which the denizens of the cave told the men that they must ret're. The treasure hunters retired promptly, but on reaching the mouth of the cave one man was left to stand guard while the others went out into the country to sum­ mon re-entoreements for the contem­ plated Befzuro. Soon the men began to arrive at tho cave, armed to the teeth, and a constant guard has bee^ mmn- tained day and night ahitdt Railway In Turkey f?r the pur pose of robbery.

William Henry Sm'th, First Lord of the Treasury, Goverhiheiif leader in the House of Commons and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, died at JJfindon. Mr. Smith had been very ill for some tlmo past, but fio serious Consequences were exj acted until It was suddenly announced that his condition was critical. A conference of physicians was hurriedly called, but their efforts were unavailing. SKELETONS of British soldiers of the war of 1812 were found at Lundy's Lane, at Niagara Falls, Ont, In a trench in the sand pit opposite the cemetery, where the bones of many others are supposed to lie. Some of the red coats were in perfect condition. Many but­ tons were found, also tobacco pouches, knives, buckskin vests and officers' braid. About fifteen skeletons hava been dug up. The regiments, as shown by tho buttons, were the Sixty-ninth and the One Hundred and Third. The British Historical Society will have the bones buried in the trench in the ceme­ tery. The cemetery is on a knoll of ground where there was an English battery. RHEUMATIC fever Is given out as the cause of the death of Mr. Parnell, but a post-mortem examination will be held In order to decide definitely. The pros­ pect of an Irisn reunion over the grave of. Parnell is less encouraging. The news from Parnellite associations, both In Gr. at Britain and Ireland, confirms the anticipation that an attempt will be made to keep up the organization with the same motives and aims as hereto­ fore. Much depends upon a meeting of the Farnellite members of Parliament which takes place soon after the burial of Parnell. If they should resolve to give up the contest it Is thought that the various leagues would follow suit accepting the monument for the Park Trustees. , And thin came the turn of ?«4ge Walter Q, Gresham, who in his oration honored Grant, honored the people and honored himself.

One minute before the unveiling a signal gun was fired to warn the gab­ bling. excited and expectant throng tha everything was in readiness for the ceremony. Slowly the seconds ticked by and there was a vast hush. Scarcely a sound was heard save from the far distant center of the city, from where the roar of commerce was plainly audi­ ble. The statue was bared to the eye and the tumultuous murmur of ap jroval had hardly subsided when from the United States steam er Michigan there blazed forth a salute of twenty-one guns. Bishop Newman patiently waited for the re­ verberation of the last gun before he delivered the invocation, and Emll S. Dryer had to be correspondingly patient before he could introduce the Bishop.

Twenty thousand men marched from the heart of the city to Lincoln Park. Twenty thousand more were willing to do so but that it would have made the parade too cumbersome. Soldiers and civilians, old warriors and young ones, knights witho it end and societies with­ out number, all anxious to do honor to the memory of the greatest military chieftain of his age, marched in solemn procession. Many an old comrade' of Grant was there; many a one who, though knowing him but slightly, had magnified that trivial acquaintance until it seemed to blossom forth to intimate relationship and friend­ ship. Memory knit those sturdy fellows with their god. It was nothing to them that at any moment the heavens threat­ ened to open and deluge them and trans­ form their sober parade into mincing steps for dry ground. They had splashed through many a country road and not felt half so proud. And when they drew up in front of the monument they were the admired of all admirers. .

Surrounded by her friends, she calmly surveyed the scene and resolutely stifled her thoughts as best she could. And the moment of bit­ terness which may have flashed across her soul must also have been felt by her son, who sat by her side. It was a bad day for the naval parade. During the night a heavy sea washed the shores of the lake, and a stiff north­ easter did not help to mend matters, and for a time it looked as if the naval display must be abandoned. About 10 O'clock, however, the wind had changed, and the outlook was much more favor­ able. The Michigan steamed slowly out Of the basin and head) d for Lincoln Park. She was followed by tho Fessenden and Andy Johnson, with several < xcursion steamers and the two fireboats toveriug the rear. On board the cutters were many invited guests, mainly wives of army officers In the parade. When the Michigan came abreast of the monument, 1,500 f« et from the s> a wall, the order to drop anchor was given. The cutters formed the line, with a fircboat to north and south. The steamers fell into line outside the warships, and their anchors were dropped on the sandy bottom. The tugs, which bad been hurrying to and from the harbor with tows, found Filaces between the larger boats. The ifeboat of the live-saving crew, rowed by sturdy hands, next came, and lay at rest near the Miohlgan. The scene from sbore was one of striking beauty. The monument was in a noble setting.
