BASED ON SLIGHT EVIDENCE Charges of MJEmanngomont in the Lincoln Insane Asylum Not Sustained. CONSIDERABLE TESTIMONY INTRODUCED IiiUlcnllims that I'utloiit Montgomery Was Treated In the Umiul Mannar ami Given All Attention tlio lu- llltutlun Afforded. LINCOLN , July 13. ( Special to The Deo. ) Up to the present time the Investigation Into the charges made by a local paper of mistreatment of a patient , Eugene Mont- Komery , while at the Insane asylum , has developed nothing nt all startling. The charges made by the. paper were that Mont gomery was visited by relatives at the state hospital a short time nfter being sent there and found to bo covered with welts and bruises , the result of brutality on the part of the guards , and after being removed .from the Institution Immediately began to Improve. An Investigation was begun yes terday and Is still going on. The greater portion of the testimony against the man agement of the asylum has boon furnished by J. A. Duckstaff , a relative of the pa- tlont , and n physician who attended him after his removal to n local Institution. So far the Inference to bo drawn from the testimony Introduced Is that the bruises and sores found on the unfortunate man were "bod sores , " resulting from a pro longed confinement In bed. Attendants , nurses nnd others from tlio hospital who have been summoned to testify aa to the conduct of the Institution have stated that , on two Instances since Dr. Hay has been In charge employes have been discharged for 111 treatment of patients , hut that otherwise they had hoard of no complaint of mismanagement. All the wards and rooms. It was explained , wore regularly visited and Inspected by the superintendent. Dr. Tucker , the physician who had charge of the patient after his re moval from the hospital , stated that the bruises found on the plaintiff's person were duo to violent treatment nt the Insane asylum , The members of the board present at the Investigation are : Attorney General Hast ings. Commissioner Humphreys , Secretary of Stnto Allen , and Governor Crounso , and all take part In the cruss-nxamlnatlon of the witnesses.

' " DUN'S ' AND BRADSTREET'S ' Under the Circumstances the Business of the Country Has Shown Anrz'ng Vitality. DECLINE OF VALUES UNEXPECTEDLY SMALL Failures for the WooU AVuro Mainly Un important and 1labilities .Small JHall Orders Small hut IIa\o lucre.isei ! In Number. NEW YOniC , July 13.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say : When circumstances nre duly weighed the strength and soundness of business In this country during the pnst two weeks are amazing. With the second city In the coun try In the hands of a lawless and mur derous moh , besides many other cities and towns ; with railway traffic almost entirely stopped over the vast area between Toledo and the 1'aclllc ; with presidential proclama tions declaring the existence of nn Insurrec tion , and the patslonato answer ordering 500,000 men to btop work ; with a prolonged strike of miners not fully ended In many states , and with differences between the house and senate on the tariff bill , activity In mining and manufactures cannot be anticipated. Industries have , nevertheless , gone on with sublime confidence that the people and their government would restore order. The shrinkage of business and depression of values have been unexpectedly small , the failures lelatlvely few anil unimportant , and there are even signs In some Industries of actual progress toward recovery from previous troubles. Wheat Is slightly lower , In profound dis regard of the government report , Indicating a yield of less than 100,000,000 bushels , and us the olllclul estimate of the yield In 1S93 was more than 100,000,000. bushels short of actual exports and consumption , It Is read ily assumed that another discrepancy ns large may spring from similar causes. He- celpts and cxpoits In the present disturbed condition of business are not significant. Corn has advanced a little , though ac counts Indicate a good yield. Dullness at the west and south affects woolen manu factures , but the clothiers have postponed orders so long that their efforts to gut merely the goods they must have now give n better tone. Orders arc small , but In number such that fewer mills have closed fclnca July 1 than was expected , and sales of wool for the wi'uk have boon 3,8:1.7,000 : pounds , against 3,463,700 pounds last year. The shoe factorle-j In this quarter nre closed , but In the east , have generally re sumed earlier than Was' expected , and nu merous , though .small orders , mainly for medium or low priced goods , make up a fair aggregate of busjness. Shipments from the east for two wecksjaf July have been 15,39S cases , against HS/TK / cases last year. The output of pig Iron , which dropped from 110,210 tons to 63.617 weekly In May be cause of the miners' strike , had only re covered to SS.OGO toiiH on July 1 , and It Is uncertain whether ( t Is now larger , for numerous works havu been stopped by the railroad blockade. The decrease. In failures exhibited last week Is followed by | good returns for July thus far. The numbqr ot reported liabilities In the , first live days were only $311,507 , though mall delays keep back some west ern returns. Th number of failures during the pnst week have- been 23S , against 350 last year. ( , jutAiSTitiir.s : : TII uu : itivfiw. : Orcat Itullrond Htrlko llm Almnnt I'aralyzed All Kinds of Trade.

Termination of tlio Strlko IIus Ciui < o < l n SttrronliiK In Vulnm. NEW YORK , July 13. Bradstreet's finan cial review tomorrow will say : The resistance sistance- offered by the market to the In- lluenco of the strike has been of a note worthy character. It was shown again at the beginning of the week , and when , on Wednesday last. It could no longer be doubted that the violent Interruption of railroad trnlllc had been practically ended , tlu ro was an upward movement , baseil on the covering of shorts. The ilse. however , was not supported by outsldo or European buying and wan neither very extensive nor long In Its duration. The market , though steady and firm In the latter part of the week , has been characterized by professional trading and general speculative inactivity. The termi nation of the strike lius. In fact , brought the rmuket back to a state of waiting for the outcome on the tariff In congress , hesi tation on tills scon- being Increasinl by the uncertainty regarding the action of the conference committee- the two houses. In addition to this. It Is recognized that the strike has Intensified the disadvanta geous conditions under which the nUlrondH have labored. The tabulation of gross earnings for Juno and the six months ex hibit the force , of these circumstances In the average decrease of 22 per cent In the earnings for June itnil 15 per cent In those of the half year. In the past fortnight trnlllo has totally ceased on several rail roads , and has suffered further Intenuptlon In all directions , It being a significant fuel that some lines , like the 8t. Paul , have deferred the publication of their regular weekly returns of gross curnliiKx. At the snmc time , the destruction of rolling stock by mob violence Is n serious Item In a num ber of Instances. Under the circumstances such a blow to earnings must Increase the financial strain under which many corpora tions have t > een laboring , and lends force to the argument that the example of the LoulsvlllH & Nashville In passing Its divi dend will be followed In other cases. There Is , howuver , a belief that the ending of the uncertainty about the tariff will meet with a prompt response In business circles and- bring railroad trallio to u normal basis , or that at least the market will at once under take to discount the speculative possibili ties of such Improvement. U Is also notice able ) that while our labor tiouhles produced an unfavorable Impression abroad , London waa not a seller of Blocks here , and that the exchange market has continued dull but firm , the only gold cniaiRcments for the week being limited to $700,000. inox TJIAUU ituvimv. Strike lias Iliul nn UmiRimlly Depressing KfTect on Thin llriineh of Industry. CLEVELAND , July 13. The Iron Trade Review tills weeks says : For the time being the iron trade Is In a state of sus pended animation. The Chicago edict against railroad traffic and the almost com plete paralysis of transportation In certain sections of the country have made produc tion Impossible to many manufacturers , and buying and selling nre nt a low ebb mean time. Today the Indications nre that the tie-up has done Its worst and that trnlllo will be of Increasing volume from this time on. The effects of the partial sus pension of business have been about evenly distributed through the various departments of the lion trade , so that production In one line has not been wrested out of relation to the rest. While strikers have restricted Iron ore production , furnace operations have been kept down by scarcity of fuel , and the mills , in turn , throughout the Debs dis pensation , have been prevented from getting coal to run with or from getting their product to the consumer. Nothing Mrmign. Intelligent people , who realize the Import ant part the blood holds In keeping the body In a normal condition , find nothing strange In the number of diseases that Hood's Sarsaparilla - saparilla Is able to cure. So many troubles result from impure blood that the best way to treat them Is through tlio blood , and It Is far better to use only harmless vegetable compounds than to dose to excess with quinine , calomel and other drugs. By treat ing the blood , with Hood's Sarsaparllla , scro fula , salt rheum and what are commonly called "humors ; " dyspepsia , catarrh , rheu matism , neuralgia , consumption and other troubles that originate In Impurities ot the blood or Impaired circulation , can all bo cured.
