PRIMARY DEALINGS ARE QUIET
Higher Prions for Staples Operate for
Conservatism Inquiry at Leading
Markets Fails to Substantiate Ex
aggerated Reports of Cancellations
Manufacturers are Well Sup
plied With Orders.
New York, Feb. 19. Bradstreefa
says: Trade reports are rather more
cheerful. Visible evidences of expan
sion in Jobbing trade in consonance
with advance of the season are found
In reports that the large number of
buyers In leading markets, especially
in the west, southwest and pans of
the south, have taken hold more
freely, although even In the mar
kets of the southwest, whence best
reports come, there are evidences of
conservatism based largely on high
prices asked for goods. Jobbing trade
at the past is slower to open up, but
there Is certainly more doing In job
bing at New York, while primary
dealings are still classed as quiet. In
quiry at leading markets falls to sub
stantiate the exaggerated reports of
cancellations noted for some time
past and there are few signs of the
widely heralded reaction in distribu
tive trade. Many points report no
cancellations to speak of. Several
cities report countermands no great
er than normal and only a very few
report that in few lines, notably
clothing, has there been any special
effort exercised. The least favorable
feature In the country's trade at pres
ent is the continue! sagging In ex
port trade in farm prolucts, an ef
fect easily traceable to the high
prices ruling for breadstuff, meats,
animals and cot'on. In connection
with this, It might bo noted that all
high price records in western mar
kets since 1870 were broken by live
hogs this week.
Manufacturers are well suppllel
with orders. VeUern shoe factories
r.re running to capacity this fall.
There Is rather less pc imlsm in the
Iron nn-i strel t.nrte. Repcits from
the Pac'..1e const limber trade are
good. Col'.ecticns range from dew
to fair. 5
Failures for the week were 2150.

CHERRY MINE BOSS
IS SHOT DOWN
Man in Charge of Recoverin
Bodies Fatally Wj3d.'
Cherry, 111., Feb. 19. Fifteen
bodies of miners were recovered
from the St. Paul coal mine. To the
amazement, of veteran mine inspec
tors the bodies entombei since last
November, when brought to the sur
face were found to be almost per
fectly, mummified, t
The mummified condition was
brought about by the bodies having,
during the three months, been In a
part of the mine which was dry and
warm and the bodies going through
a slow process of drying up. The
rescuers found eleven bodies In what
is known as the second level. The
men Instead of retreating to remote
narts of the mine, evidently had
made a desperate effort to escape
1 when the fire broke out. They were
found with tbeir arms stretched for
ward and face down, having been
suffocated as they ran, probably by
a gust of heat and gas. Their features
were so badly disfigured that Identi
fication was difficult. The fire Is still
raging in the mine.
Charles Atherton, known as the top
boss at the mine, was shot and prob
pbly fatally wounded. The shooting
occurred while the bodies of the en
tombed miners were being recovered.
A. man who had been loitering about
the place stole up behind Atherton,
pulled out. a revolver and fired three
shots. All the shots took effect. The
crowd about the shaft was thrown
Into a panic. The man gave his name
as Peter Brown, but Is evidently a
foreigner, lie said his reason foi
t hooting was that Atherton had re
fused him a Jo'). Athcrton's condition
ii critical.

child & Sulzberger company, and
also owns, through the estate cf his
father. G. F. Swift, $7,000,000 in
the stock of the National Packing

companies for the Illinois company,
to which all business and dividends
are reported.

THRALL
KffilOLE
Charge Against Him was Assault
With the Intent to Do
Bodily Injury.
In district court this morning Fred
Thrall was arraigned and plead guilty
to the second count in the informa
tion filed against him by the county
attorney. The count charged him
with assault with intent to do great
bodily injury. Thrall, It will be re
called, was taken into custody last
fall by Sheriff Qulnton after he had
a struggle with him in his confec
tlonery store at Union. Thrall had
been on a rampage and had been ter
rorlzlng the town by parading up and
down the streets with a gun and
threatening to slaughter some of the
inhabitants. Sheriff Qulnton being in
town sought him out and arrested
him. By agreement with the county
attorney, Judge Travis this morning
parolled Thral lunder a law passed uy
the last legislature and suspended his
sentence for the maximum period for
which he could have been convicted
which is .five years. The parole means
that Thrall must lead a straight and
upright life for five years or he can
be taken into custody and made to
serve his sentence of five years In
the penitentiary. Since his arraign
ment before the justice last fall,
Thrall has been out on bail and has
been leading a good life, the county
attorney has found and this Induced
him to agree to the proposition to
parole the prisoner. Thrall seems to
have been very contrite ever since
the commission of his crime which
was largely induced by drink and has
expressed a desire to try and lead
the right kind of a life, n was
represented in this case by Gen. John
C. Watson of Nebraska City.
Somewhat Wrntliy.
James W. Thomas descended upon
he Journal office like the proverbial
beson of destruction this noon, irate
beyond expression because someone
had Informed him thnt it was re
ported that he was In favor cf open
ing the proposed road to the ferry
and that ho would donate land for;
jthat purpose. James anounced in a
loud voice that he Is most emphatlcal -
ly against any such proposition and
that the road will only be opened
after he has exhausted all possible ef
forts to stop same. He wanted this
statement printed far and wide so
that he who runs may read and un
derstand that if they want to go down
to tho ferry they will have to take
some route other than that proposed
by the petition now on file with the
county board, lie proposes as the
poet has said, to fight until the letter
II is no more.
