Weekly Review of Trade says : Had weather
has Interfered with trade at many points ,
and delayed seeding at the west. In that
of Improved dls-
iijotfon , nevertheless , signs
tr.butlon continue , prospects are bright and
business Is much greater than last year. At
Iho east Improvement Is more moderate , nn-1
yet the area of transaction * Is quite largo ,
though the season Is not a busy ono for some
Important traders.
At the touth there Is a distinctly bettor
fooling , owing to the advance In the prlco of
totton , but much the greater part of the crop
has been marketed and general business Is
now but moderately affected. General con
ditions of trade remain favorable.
Merchandise exports from Now York for
the month show a gain of but 0 per cent ,
while the Imports for the month thus far ex
ceed by 10 per cent those of Inst April , which
wore tno largest ever known. Wheat ex
ports during half the weolt have boon less
than &UOOUU bushels n nlnst receipts of
1,235,11)0 ) , but the price has advanced half n
cent , though exports have dropped materi
ally. OiUs have declined I cent and codec
half a cent , with pork products steady , but
oil has advanced 2K rents. In cotton a
further advance of one-eighth of a cent
occurred , notwithstanding n material do-
clltio In export1) .
Verv Illtlo change Is neon In the great In
dustries , though the demand- for cotton at
some points distinctly improves. The mar
Icot at Philadelphia Is disappointing , yet
tharo is less pressure to neil pig Iron , a good
demand for sheets , with an advance nt Chi
cago. Structural Iron is in largo demand
nnd especially actlvo nt the wost. Heavy
electrical consumption has strcngthonod'cop
per , which soils at 12 } cents forlako ; tin is
rising at 20 cants and lead steady.
Showing Kxceptioiml Activity.
The market for woolens is hardly slcnlf-
icanl at till ; season , but rulhar bettor than a
year ago , most mills being well employed.
The dross coeds trade Is mainly over , and
there is lobs activity , while it Is hardly time
for largo business In ilannols , and men's
woolens uro not nt urosant in largo demand.
But the knitting trade continues firm. Im
proved demand is seen in cotton goods and
rubber goods uro also good , and at many
points the building trades show exceptional
activity.
Boston reports quite satisfactory trade ,
comparing well with last year's.
At Philadelphia the dry goods trade equals
expectations.
At Baltimore the demand for building ma
terials Is the best for live years. Iron mills
are doing Romotblng , hardware is in good de
mand , but glass dull and the coal trade very
light.
'irado is Improved nt Cleveland , though
upholsterers are on a strike , butthn building
strikes at Cincinnati are probably averted.
At Chicago merchandise sales much exceed
last year's , and business Is increasing in all
lines. Trade at Milwaukee is satisfactory
and at Minneapolis good , and especially In
lumber.
At til. Paul jobbing trade is bright , though
weather delays seeding and retards trade at
Kansas City , making grain receipts light ,
but receipts of cattle and hogs are fair.
At Sf. Louis trade Is reasonably strong ,
though rains Interfere with building , and a
general expansion in all lines Is effected.
At Omaha and Denver trade is fair.
At Memphis business is dull , at Savannah
somewhat , diminished , and at Now Orleans
rather quiet , notwithstanding improvement
In cotton and strength in sugar and rice.
The money markets have not teen at all
disturbed and the supply is ampleat all
points with n bolter demand nt somo.

CHICAGO , III. , April " 1 , After an evening
of the wildest excitement and commotion
detail of police was loft on guard at the
Shelter bouso of the society In aid of the
Russian refugees tonight. Tbo events load
ing up to the commotion have to do with the
work ot tbo society and tbo culmination in
what amounted to a riot was in spite of all
the oftlc'ors In charge of the place could do.
About twenty-five or thirty Husslnn refu
gees who have boy n charitably boused , te&
and cared for tbo past four weeks , Insisted
upon a continuance of these privileges.
Having extended to tboso persons every in
ducement and opportunity to make a living
for themselves , the management had decided
that they must abandon their free quarters
and make room for now arrivals. This they
refused to do and trouble arose. Messrs.
Lowln and Goldstein , who have charge ol
the Shelter , determined on this move this
morning and ejected the refractory refugees
ivitbout violence. Shortly afterwards the
most of them returned and demanded rein
statement. Dsnlal Increased their persist
ence , their clamoring Increased until this
afternoon , when the poilco were called.
Before tbo officers arrived an attack was
made Doth.on tbo front and back doort of tbu
Shelter , tbo latter being torn off Its hlngos.
When tbo officers arrived Lowln deter
mined to muko nn oxatuplo of at lest ono man
and selected the one who appeared to bo the
lender , a bioad-shouldercd , able-bodied fel
low named Alper. Alpor bad with him bis
father and mottior , each ever CO years uf ago.
When the officers started away with
Alpcr his parents showed sucli extreme sorrow
row and helplessness Lowln relented and
told thooftlcoM to release Alper , thinking the
affair would have a good effect on tbo crowd.
In this ho was mistaken , for as soon us It
grow dark tbo ohyslcal demonstrations ot
protest were oogun anew by Alpor nnd bis
comrades. Tliolr ranks were swelled by a
crowd of street rowdies such as is always
ready to participate In such affairs.
The demand of the refugees tbat they bo
glvon shelter for the .ulght being refused , an
Instantaneous uttack was made by the mob ,
throaU acralnst the inmates of the Shelter
being freely used. Again the police wbro
called nnd tbo crowd , except the refugees ,
immediately dispersed. The situation was
than patiently explained , through interpret
er ! , to thosn who incited tbo riot , and tboy
Immediately set up the cry that tboy were
sick. This had no effect , and after much
wrangling the discontented Ituislans were
forced to move away. They threatened to
return tonight , and a detail of poilco will re
main on guard.

CiiBVBNXn , Wyo. . April 22. [ Special Tele
gram toTitr. IEn | . At 11:23 : o'clock this
brononn , with words of prayer upon his lips
and without a sign of weakness , Charles E.
MlllOr , I ho double murderer , was hanged in
the ynrd of the Lnrnmlo county Jail.
Mlllor rotlrod last night nbout midnight.
Ho had played cards and chatted up to thnt
hour. Apparently ho had no thought of tbo
morrow. Ho slept soundly till 7 o'clock ,
soon nftor which hour his breakfast urns
jroueht to him. Ho did not oat with his
usual rollsh and touched nothing but n bit of
egg and drank a CUD of coffeo.
Thorcnftor until 0 o'clock sovor.il calls
were made upon him by his attorney and
thcso who have taken interest la his welfare
and worKed for n commutation of sontoncn.
Those visitors Included lone or two ladles.
Mlllor was somewhat moved by what was
said to him , but dm not brook down.
At 0:45 : o'clock Hcv. Father McCormlck
was admitted to the coll. Milter was than bap
tized , having expressed n doslro todlolu the
Catbolto faith. Thnnrlostaftonvardromnlnod
with him almost constantly to the end.
Mlllor * vas dressed In a neat titling suit of
clothes , and It. the last hours dovot'od him
self almost entirely to prayor. The scaffold
was built in tbo jail yard , and the trap was
\vornod by nn automatlo contrivance so that
It sprung Itsolf. The day was beautifully
bright and clear mid the surrounding buildIngs -
Ings were covered with people eager to wit
ness the banging.
Mlllor walked firmly up the scaffold stairs ,
lioldlncr ncrucillx In his closed hands , with
tbo priest by his side. Ho looked Dale , but
tbo moment ho reached the platform a slight
Hush came Into his face. No ono ever saw
liiui look so well. Ills complexion was clear
and his color , while not high , was unusually
good. His eyes were perfectly clear
nnd Intelligent , showing that ho had not
boon closed with narcotics. Ho glanced with
considerable curiosity at the dangling UOOJD ,
but it made no apparent impression upon
him. Turning to tbo sheriff bo said :
"Will 1 stand In the middle of the scaffold
Mr. Kolloyi"
The sheriff told him not yet , and
ho wont on with his prayers under
the Instruction of tbo priest. Tbo
straps wore quickly adjusted. He was asked
if 1m had any thine to say.
"Nothing,11 ho replied , "but the Lord have
mercy upon mo. "
The noose was then adjusted and the black
cap drawn ovnr his head. Ho was placed on
tbo center of the trap , which was so tlxod
thut it would drop of itself In about fifty
seconds.
"That noose is choking mo , " said Miller ,
under the black cap.
It bad been drawn too tightly. The sheriff
loosened It a little.
"Now it's all right , " said Miller. "Lord ,
have mercy upon mo. Jesus save me , " ho
prayod.
In the midst of a soutonco there was a sud-
dnn click , the trap doors parted and dropped
with a jar , and Miller was dancllng in spacp.
These close enough heard a snap
ping sound , which was evidence of
a broken nock. Tlicro was a little- spasmodic
contraction of his legs , but very littlo.
Ho was allowed to hang for ton minutes ,
when no was officially pronounced dead.
Then ho was out down , placed in a cofUn
ready for burial at thooxponseof tbocounty.
His nock was brokon. There was n slight
aorasion of the skin on the back of the nock ,
but no other evidence of violence.
It can truthfully be said that tbo criminal
blstory of this country discloses no case
parallel to CliarJIo Millar's. There are but
few cases on record of criminals of his ago
having boon executed , and none of those cases
in any rcspeut resemble his. In every aspect
It is a most remarkable and a singular caso.
It cannot bo said that lack of training or
force of circumstances" made a criminal of
Mlllor , for ho was the only ono of a family of
four children who did not turn out well. . !
was loft in orphan at tbo ago of 5 years and
all four of tbo children were sent to the same
orphan asylum. Ills sister resides in
UochoHtor , N. Y. , and is said to bo in fairly
good circumstances , while his two brothers ,
ono younger and tbo other elder than him
self , are both doing well in a small town in
Kansas. All of the children had the same
training In their younger days , and Cha'rllo
was tbo only bad ono of the lot.
Neither did harsh treatment nor the lack
of home Influence make a criminal of him ,
for , according to his own story , ho was sev
eral times taken In by families who treated
him well and guvo him a homo. Neither can
insanity or a weak mind bo sot up as an excuse -
cuso for his awful deed , or that ho did not
know the olITeronco between right and
wrong , the standard proscribed by the law
In measuring men's responsibility for their
acts. The dofunso of insanity was at
tempted on tbo trial of the case ,
but was a signal failure. Miller
was , in fact , more than ordinarily
bright , and know * .Toll when ho killed Emer
son and Fishbauch that ho was committing
a legal as well as a moral wrong.
A study of hU life , as given by himself ,
and to a cortnlu extent corroborated by in
vestigation , shows that literature of the
dime novel order , operating on tbo mind of a
boy with a Invo lor notoriety , brought about
a desire In Miller to attain that class of no
toriety treated of and extolled by literature
of this class , at any cost. This view of the
case Is supported oy the story of bis life ,
both prior and bubscqucnt to tbo commission
of bis crime.
Miller was born in Virginia some tine in
the year 187. ) . At the age of fi.bo was loft an
orphan by the death of his mother and the
suicide of his father. Tbo four children were
sent to an orphan asylum , and Mlllor re
mained tboro until ho was 12 or Kl. Ho than
cimo west , and worked for about a year for
a farmer In Minnesota. From there ho went
to Kansas , where his two brother * bad in tbo
meantime located , and worked for several
months at the printing trade. Then ho again
started east , and landed in Rochester , N , Y. ,
where he romalnod with some relatives for
several weeks. During all those travels ho
had been in the company of professional

tramps , and it is evident that bo devoured
considerable lurid literature , bo having
adopted the name of "Kansas Charlie , " and
having lost no opportunity of registering it
at every suitable place along his route.
From Rochester ho wont to Now Jersey ,
and worked on a newspaper a couple of
months. Ho then started west again and
finally landed in Kansas City. Thinklnir a
gun necessary to the completion of "Kansas
Charlie's" outfit , ho nurobased a second
hand revolver. Moving still further west , ho
finally landed in Sidney , Nob. There ho mot
for the firstti.no his victims , Ross fisboaugh
and Waldo Emerson , two young men not
quite 21 years of ago , the children of respect
able parents residing in St , Joseph , Mo. , on
their way to Denver. Mlllor noticed that
tnoy had money , but at the time gave it no
thought. This was on the afternoon of Sep
tember 25. 1890 , Mlllor being then about 15
years of ago. That afternoon bo lost trace
of Fishbaugh and Emerson and saw them no
more thnt day. The next morning about
dawn , at Pine 131uff , In this state , ho boarded
n box car of n freight train bound wost. Ho
had not boon in there long before ho discov
ered his companions of tbo previous after
noon. Ono of thorn spoke to him , but soon
both of thorn were sound asleep.
It was then that Miller remembered that
his companions had money , and In an Instant
his mind conceived the awfut plan of kllllnc
them and securing both monov and notoriety
at the same time. Ho pulled his gun. and in
an instant Emerson was dead , and Kish-
baugh dying from the deadly effect ot two
shots fired Dy the young flond.
At Hlllsdalo , some twenty miles east of
this place , Mlllor lott the frclebt train , after
having secured something over $50 from the
bodies of the two young mon. Ho got
something to oat at Hlllsdalo , and then came
on to Cboyonno , and although ho remained
hero two days , and although vigorous efforts
were put forth by thoofllcials to discover the
assassin , Miller was novcr once suspected ,
and ho started back for Kansas In safety.
But the glory which ho nnticlDatod was
not forthcoming , and as a consequence , nttor
arriving in Kansas ho confessed to the lullIng -
Ing , and in it short time he was brought to
Cheyenne , and soon brought to trial nnd
found guilty of murder In tbo first degree.
His case wont to the supreme court , and tbo
verdict was there sustained.
Throughout nil of the legal proceedings in
cident to his trial and conviction , Miller was
absolutely indifferent as far as the outcome
of his case was concerned , and plainly
showed that ho rather onjoyea tbo whole af
fair. Inasmuch as he was the center flguio al
ways , \V.bon Judge Scott sentenced him to
be hung u year ago he wai the most uncon
cerned individual In the court room , and
when the supreme court again fixed the da to
of his execution ho was just as Indifferent.
Mlllor escaped from jail twice , and on
both occasions was recaptured soon after.
Both tlmos bo got away through the assist-
anca of other prisoners , The last time , as
will bo remembered , ono of the escaped con
victs , William Kingon .frozo to death , and

t.'nw YOIIK , April 22. An old man , who
evidently bad not had much experience in
sending telegrams , wont into the ofllco of the
Western Union telegraph ofllco at Twenty-
third street and Fifth avenue yesterday
morning , and after much labor with n pencil
and a blank handed in a dispatch to the re
ceiver which read as follows :
Olvo tlicso few dollars to Charley and toll
him goodbye. GKOIIUE Hoi./ .
" 1 want to send $18 with this telegram to
Choycnno. " bo said. Ha told the receiver to
whoso order ho wanted tbo money paid and
then ho asked hurriedly : "Tho monov will
go today , won't It ) It would bo of no use un
less it does. "
"Why are you so anxious that It should bo
paid today ? " asked the receiver , whoso
curiosity was aroused by the old man's man
ner.
ner."Tho boy Is to bo banged tomorrow , " \vas
the answer , "and I want him to have a now
suit of clothes to bo buried in. "
Tno young women who hnndla tbo dis
patches in the oHlco looked horrified and ono
of them asked the man to toll his story. Ho
said ho had been the guardian of Charlie
Miller , the youthful murderer , and ho owed
him just SIS.
The telegraph receiver was touched , but
turning to business matters after n little
pause she said : "This dispatch will cost
91.10. "
"Send It collect , " replied the old man.
"Can't do it. "
The old man pondered. "Novcr mind the
message , " bo said finally , "but just send the
money. They will know who it comes from , "
He took the blank , crumpled It up and left
the ofllco. . . .

" The Royal- Baking Povyder is absolutely pure ,
for I have so found it in rriany tests made both for

upon the proper proportions of the same , and the method of its preparation ,

o
edly the Purest and most reliable
r , , . baking powder offered to the public.
