TRADE REVIEW FOR THE WEEK.
Winter Weather Has Delayed Opening
of Spring Business.
Now York, March 17. Uradstreet's
says: Tho widespread winter storm
has delaed the opening of spring
tin do at retail, causing some com
plaint of bad roads and Interruption to
personal buying at lending Jobbing
centers. On tho other hnnd tho bene
fits of accompanying heavy snows or
rains to the crops probably fur out
weigh tho damage duo to this causu
or Injury caused to small fruit and
truck Interests by the freezing weath
er. Wholesalo trade and industry
shows no signs of hesitation and even
the building trades have given little
heed to tho temporary weather set
back, in view of the immense busi
ness for spring and summer offering.
Th 3 coal Btrlke situation Is still n
flaw in the situation, but signs of the
conlllct being localized are seen and
a general suspension of all work Js
scouted. Jobbing trade at leading
centers Is largo, and re-orders for
spring delivery aro already reported
at western centers. Railway cm rings
for Febiuary and tho first half of
March break all records for this sea
son, collections are classed as fair to
good, export trade Is of a largo mid
winter volume, nnd thero are signs
that loweied prices of cereals have
found response in improved foreign
buying. Additional favorable features
nro reports of Improvement in tho
flour trade, of heavy sales of leather
for homo and foreign consumption and
of higher prices for wools. Tho Iron
and steel mills aro busily employed,
and while new business is smaller In
volumo thero Is a marked undertone
of strength to this ns to other metals,
such as copper. Prices generally show
strength, cereals aro certainly firmer,
but cotton Is lower than a week ago.
Altogether, thero is everything to In
dicate that tho spring trade, present
and prospective, will break all past
years' records.
Failures for the week number 187.
Wheat exports for tho week arc 2,
010,237 bushels. Corn exports for tho
week are 2,335,282 bushels.

that a man has committed a cold
blooded murder in an attempt to com
mit robbery and a jury finds a verdict

nied tho injunction asked for by tho
North Fourteenth street property own

"Under tho first ordlnanco It was
mado to appear that the defendant!
sought to bo a street railway. It was
to havo a G-cent faro. Its cars woro
to stop at every street and It was giv

of tho city streets which would not
havo been necessnry bad it boon mere
ly a commerciul railway. But the sec

MOB ATTACKS OMAHA JAIL.
Determined Effort is Made to Lynch
Murderers.
Omaha, March 16. A determined at
tempt was made at 1 o'clock this
morning to secure a number of men
charged with murder, who were sup
posed to bo confined In the county
Jail, for the purpose of lynching tnem. i
Twelve men are now awaiting trial'
on charges of murder, most or them
committed in connection with holdups. '
Last evening Edward Flury, a street
car conductor who wus shot when his
car was held up a few days ago, died
and tho newspapers announced that
three negroes, Clarence Gathrlght, Cab'
vln Wain and Harry Clark, had con
fessed to tho holdup and shooting. It
began to be stated quite openly that
a mob, headed by street car employes, i
would assault the jail during tho night
and that every man charged with
murder would be lynched. '
Sheriff McDonald gave out the state
ment that none of the alleged mur
derers was In tho jail, but at mid
night a crowd began to gather nt tho
jnll, and by 12:30 probably 2,000 per
sons surrounded the place. It was
evident thnt most or them wero mere-1
ly spectators, as not more than 200 I
or 300 approached the building. A de
mand was mado Tor the prisoners, nnd
when tho sherirr refused to admit tho
mob to the jail, a telephone polo was
brought and used as a battering ram.
The outer door soon gave way, but at
this moment a squad of about forty
policemen came upon tho sceno nnd
the mob was quickly dispersed. Tho
police used their clubs pretty freely,
but noiio of tho mob wub serlouly in
jured nnd no arrests were made.
