JPrnnk Dennis , ngod thirty years , lay on a cot ina Hiofy stable nnd at 3IM : o'clock ' In the afternoon died , Dennis was employed as a buggy washer Iti the Jefferson Stiunro livery stable , 420 North Sixteenth street. Thli stable is owned and run by L. Kroner. About ten days ngo Den nis went to the stable and asked for worn , which was given hltn. Tor a day or two past the deceased hnd boon drinking qtilln hard , butw'as ' always nblo to attend to his duties Thursday night Dennis complained of feel- In gbtdly and wai utinblo to do any work. Ho passed n wretched night nnd groined a great deal. About : : K ) o'clock yoitonlny morning the dead man's sufferings bccimo so intense that a physician was called Dr. Womersloy , whoso ofJlcfl Is ntl20 jXortu rifteonth street , attended the suffering man. Dennis com plained to the doctor of severe cramping pains In the abdomen and bogged for relief of sonic sort. \VomcrsloylnJertcdabout a quarter of n grain of morphliio Into the sufferer and wntclioa for the loitilt. No relief coming , lu about flf teen minutes the physician gave the patient another Injection of morphine nnd then loft , uxpcctini. to sco his patient up and about before long , 'J ho proprietor of the stable wont hack to the inon's skoplng room whcro Dennis was about noon and tried to awaken him. This was Impossible. Tbo suffering man lay inn comatose state until JHO : p m. when ho breathed his last. Dr Woinorsloy was soea by a BCK reporter and made this statement : "I was called to attend Kranlc Dennis about fcTO o'clock ' this morning. I found him suffering fiomsovciu abdominal pains , and as lolluf from pain was the 1'rst ' object in view I injected about a aunrtor grain of morphlno. Seeing that no relief followed this injection , I administered another , probably less than a quarter of a grain this tlmo , m I nmvcry cirofullii hand ling morphlno. I then left , the patient prom- iuing to uill and see mo some tlmo during the forenoon. I know nothing moro about the ca-so until ( Joronor Hmngnn telephoned rno that the man wai dead. "Imndono examination of the patient. AH 1 know is that ho was suffering from intense pnrox ) sum ! paiusln the abdomen. " Dr , Scaich was noM scon by n ropoitcr. Ho said : "I was called about 1 o'clock to nee this man. I found him In n comatose state , and ho travo evidcnco of having taken an overdose of opium or moiphlno. I worked with the man for axvhllc , ondcavorlng to ro- . suscltato him. railing In this , I called Or. IlopkliiH to my assistance , and , suspecting poison , wo pumped out his stomach , gave untldotes and did nil In our power to save the patient's life. All our efforts failed , nnd ho dic-d about 3:80. : "My impression Is that Dennis died from opium poison , but of course tbat is not posi tive as J did not know what the man's physi cal condition was at the time tbo morphine wasndnilnlstcrcd and In fact did not Itnow until after the death that any other physician hnd been in attendance. Tbo sjtnptoms were of morphine , there was contraction of the pupil of the eyes , stcrtorloua breathing , respiration very slow , total relaxation of the Bystom and unconsciousness. "Tho pnlloiitnpnonred to bon good , strong , licnllby man. It is possible that the patent inayhavn taken nu oplato of some sortbo- Joroa i > \slciun was summoned. " The body was taken to Durkott's under taking establishment , whore n post mortem and in quoit will bo held. A telegram was sent to the father of Den nis who ihcs nt Ashland , Nob.

Tlio Actual Coiiilltlou of Trade Not Improving , NEW YOIIK , April 8 [ Special Telegram to TUB UBK. i U. G , Dun &Co.'s weoldy re view of trade says : The actual condition of business does not improve , however hopeful the anticipations warranted. The interests of property in many forms arts for the time nlTcctccl and incanwhllo the usual demand for inonoy in April has nmdo the maikets closer , though relaxation is expected. Nearly all the interior inonoy markets are quiet and comparatively easy. Omaha and Cincinnati note a llttlo closeness nnd thcio is n good do- inaiiil at Chicago and Cleveland. The col lections mo oulto generally slow and unsat isfactory , Improvement being noted hardly nil } where , but Iho state of the roads is usu- ollv recognised lu n. prominent cause. Iho failures for the Ilrst quarter of 1801 have beena,54S against 3'J2J , last voar , and the liabilities bavo been SI. , 107,6,11 against $ J7S5'JIH)3 , last year In the United States , but moro than the cntiro Increase both Jti iiumbor and liabilities appears In the south ern states alone. The eastern and mU'dlo states toport few or failures nnd smaller lia bilities than lost yuar , but the western states report nearly as much Increase. In Canada the number has been 575 against 0.15 lost 3 car , but the liabilities were (0,003,234 against $5,5JH1I ( : last j ear. 'Irado at Doston has been quiet. The move- in en t of men's woolens is unsatisfactory. 1'hiludolphla notes slow collections in most lines. 1'lttsburg notes uo Important chunge , nnd Cleveland only fair trade , with Cincin nati , I ouIsvillo.St. Louis and Kansas City in the sunni condition. At PeorU tbo local trade is below last ydr's ami collections are very dull , but makers nnd Jobbers of Implements note excellent prospects , \vlth sales exceed ing la < u jear's and fair prospects.

Mer chandise moves moro slowly than a few weeks ago on account of bad roads , Memphis finds trade not yet near the normal , but at Atlanta It is Improving and at Now Orleans , whore sugar U active at lower prices , rjo acarc'o nnd cotton quiet. Hnd weather affects the trade at Montgomery , nnd nt Jucksomlilo thcro are fears of a disas trous spring niid summer trado. Iron does not mend at all , for in the ronfi- dcnt-o that tbo strikes will soon end consum ers are waiting The lowest prices on record nro made by some works for bar Iron , and structural moves slowly , while wrought pipe Is terribly demoralized. Pig Iron is duller than foryearsand bmors generally hold off as to rails , disliking to help tlio combination.

The boot and shoo trade is dull. The rub. bcr speculators have put new par.x at 00 cents , nnd the syndicate claims to hold ' . ' ,500 tons , the world's consumption being called 1,500 tons monthly.

Whilst wo could lot disapprove , wo were seriously and sor- 'owfully ' concerned by your resolution to adopt the veil and dedicate the rest of your ifo to the service of Gocl In a convent. Wo .vould not disapprove it , because you say that vour determination has been deliberately 'ormod , and because you are solemnly con vinced th it it will bo conducive to your pros- out nnd futuio happiness. But it is a grave and serious step , losombllng in the separa tion from jour friends and iclations which it- involves , so much the awful separation which death Itself brings iboat , that we could not but feel Intense dls- iress.

All that I bopo is that v oil will not aot on any sudden impulse or ill conslJ- eiod and Immature resolution , but that you will deliberately and again and again ovnra- inoyour own heart and consult your best Judgment before you consummate your Inten tion , " \Viito mo ut Washington , nnd m the event of jour taking the veil lot ino know what provision exists for your support and comfort , nnd whr-tbcr any nnd what pecu niary aid may bo proper or expedient from your friends.

Just now Hov. Dr. Hoinsford of StGcorgc's ' church , Now Yoriccomos In Tor a largo shnro of attention In tbo metropolis There has been talk of bis being disciplined by the Episcopal church for his liberal views. Dr. Halnsford believes in force when it Is neces sary. Ho has never yet mot his match , al though ho has frequently had to eject bullies nnd disorderly parsons from his meetings. At ' a mission mooting a muscular strapping : fellow appeared and took a scat by the door , | evidently bent on mischief. As soon I ns Dr. Kalnsford saw him ho Itnow thit an ejectment would occur ba foio the mooting was over. Th o folio w began his pranks nnd Dr , Halnsford wont to him nnd cautioned him to act In n seemly manner orolso toloavo the room. Tbo bully was In solent and tlio doctor was courageous. Tbo ministerial fist grasped the bully's coit col lar 1t 1 , and after a momentary tug the power of the chinch militant was demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of the bully , as ho found lilmsolf 1 : landed upon the outer stops. A few minutes later ho loturncd , nnd following him was another strapping big fellow , who , Dr. Ralnsford supposed , was a eompinion. The rector slid to himself : "Now I shall have a circus ; I shall hnvo to put thorn both out" The second bully began to make trouble at onto , and Dr. Halnsfoid went to bim and commanded him to behave himself or leave. He , too , was Insolent , and ttio doctor was about to attack him , keeping ono eye fixed on the other man , when , of n sudden , the first \ bully nroso and glaring on the second ono said , ' 'Soy , look a1 hero , mo and Kilnsford can clean out a half a doyen toughs llko you , nnd if you don't look out we'll flro ) or out head ilrst. Dy'o ' hear mo ! " The second bully collapsed immediately , and Dr. Hninsford held out hi- , hand to the Ilrst man who grasped it warmly and ex pressed his icspect for the man who could collar him and put him out of doors. Ho bos slnco become one of the doctor's warmest . admirers. Growing * Use of n The arift sots In stronger and stronger among the various leligious bodies toward thousoof a liturgy using that word not too strictly , but as moaning a nroscrlbad form for any icliglous service , saya the Church man , Perhaps the most striking example of this drift is the proposed book of common priver designed for the Unitarian brethren , who for some tlmo have employed ordered founs of worship , n liturgy bearing the sanc tion of the American Unitarian association being already in considerable favor. But a row movement is now on foot to supply something llko n real "uso" for the whole bodv , tlio commlttoeo on , public worship In tending to "multiply , enlarge , and enrlch.ox- isting forms , so ns to give nioro ircodom of choice rather than loss to the ofllciatlng cloriryinan" words which boir u curious likeness to the resolution providing for the recent revision of our own services. Of course , among the Unitarians no central au thority exists competent to impose any form upon the independent congregations , but that only mikes moro striking this example of liturgical tendency as a genuine "move- ment ; " the Unitarian book of common prajcr is an answer to a populai demand and not "a fond thing , vainly invented" uy a fow.
