NEW YORK, July U.-R. G. Dun Co.'a
.Weekly Ravlew of Trade will aay tomorrow:
MJdaummer condltlona are more ia evi
dence than at any prevloua time thla
aeon, although trade continues far In
xceaa ot early yeara and preparatlona for
fall and winter are unabated. Confidence
In the commercial aentlment. Induced by
azceptlonaily favorable crop reporta and
the absence of any distinctly adverse fac
tor. Wholesale distribution la very heavy
for thla period and the majority of reporta
Indicate aatlsfactortly prompt collections,
while at aome points summer stocka are
belnc reduced by clearance aalea. Not only
the leading Industries, but nearly all menu-
facturinf undertaklnge have orders aasur
n activity well Into-the future and the
scarcity of labor la still the chief complaint.
iiiuiaa u ig are practically settled
at the soft coal mines and anthracite col
lieries are resuming, the sliding scale
iving nira coai miners an advance of
per cant In July. Evidence at ih. un
excelled business during the fiscal yenr
jui vnuni wkrw idudq in every statement
that appears. ,
Railroad earnings In June were log per
cent larger than In 1S08 and foreign com
merce at this port for the week shows an
Increase of t,K.ttST In Imports and a loss
of t7M,2 In exports as compared with las'
year's figures. Temporary ease In call
money did not weaken the quotations of
time loans, which reflec .'he expectation
of heavy shipments or currency to the
icienor ror crop moving in the near future.
Many Iron furnaces and sleel mills have
resumed after a brief season of Idleness
for repairs. Inventories and settlement of
wage scales, so that the production la once
more very heavy.
Textile manufacturing condltlona are not
materially altered. '

RADSTRaJBTS REVIEW OF TRADE
f
In June, aa compared with the same month
a vear aso. bv far the best nhowinir mnrin '
for a late spring or early summer month,
r'rlces of staples are aa a whole, showing
some easing on revisions, duo to new crop
presHure, dui on me wnoie are steady at
close to the high levels of the year. The
almost universal complaints of scarcity of
all kinds of labor are confirmatory of the
reports 01 immense activity a Dove noted.
Reporta as to volume 'of fall orders
booked point to the year to date being well
in aavuiue 01 any otner on record. The
Iron and steel trade Is rertnlnlv well anM
ahead, Pittsburg reporting 25 per cent
mure ouxiness dookoii man a year ago.
From nearly all markets come advices that
dry goods are further sold ahead than a
year ago. Wool Is quiet and on the whole
la steady.
While foundry pig Iron Is oule prices
are firm, northern graaes in trie Chicago
market having been advanced 2o to 50

light.

BOSTON. July II Henry T. Fry of Chi
cago was elected president today of the
American W hist league, which la now bold.
Ing Its annual conference in this city. The
finals for the Hamilton trophy were pi a ye I
tonight between Minneapolis and the Pas
time club of Boston, the latter winning.
CHICAGO, July 13. Three men were
blown to pieces, three others were fatally
Injured and aeveral othera badly hurt by
an explosion which early today wrecked
a shanty In the McLaughlin stona quarry
at Ballwood, a short distance northwest
of Chicago.
There are evidences that the explosion
waa the reault of a plot on the part of
people who are at present unknown to the
police. The dynamite shed of the quarry,
which Is at a considerable distance from
the shanty which was blown up, was
broken open and the dynamite carried to
the building ln which a number of laborora
were sleeping and exploded beneath the
structure. The aurvlvors all declare that
there waa no dynamite around their shanty
when they retired for the night.
The explosion was terrific and aroused
the residents for several miles around and
shattered many panes of glais a mile from
the quarries. The larger part of the body
of one of the men killed Waa taken from
a tree 100 feet from the place where the
ahanty had stood. Sections of the corpse
were found lying all around the tree. All
of the men killed and Injured were Greek
and Italian laborers.
The offlciala of the McLaughlin com
pany denounced the blowing up of the
ahanty aa deliberate murder and aald that
ln their opinion the crime had been
actuated by a dealra to rob the sleeping
men. Several of them were known to
have considerable money, and one, Louie
Papplllo, was aald to have carried 21.000
In a belt which he wore around one leg.
Papplllo and his brother were killed,
and when the bodies were found both had
been completely stripped of clothing. Thla
wx uct tne case with any other man who
t-aa In the iliantv at the time of the ex-
r ioalon, and, a. cording to the officials of
I the McLaughlin company, bears out their
theory that r: .' erj waa the motive of
j he crime.
1 Late In the at.y the police lecelved In-
formation thai j-d trem to believe that the
djr.xnUe m)(ik.t have been placed under
the tu.. ;jf at the Instance of a woman
who was jealous of one of the men killed.
It Is Itiionn that they quarreled the day
before the explosion and that she threat
ened him.

PRAYED AND HIT HUSBAND
Woman's Long; Supplication Finally
Rewarded la a Novel ,
Manner.
Eighteen yeara of prayer and aupplicatlon
Anally won for Miss Maria Jeeaop of Chi
cago a husband, but it took the strength
of her good right arm, the total wreck of
an Image and the severe wounding of R. F.
Costomlno, an Italian, to bring about the
happy result.
Maria la a woman of some 88 summers.
It la the custom of her country not only
to marry, but to marry young. When, at
the age of 28 yeara, Maria found heraelf
still in tha enjoyment of simple blessedness,
she considered that she was on the wait
ing Hat, and thought In all probability aha
would remain there unless she took Im
mediate stepa to remedy the situation.
She purchased a plaater of parla Image' of
a aalnt and aet It up ln her apartment.
Dally, In the morning and again In the
evening, did she make obedience to the
graven likeness for fifteen yeara and waa
still a spinster.
Maria cast about her for the cause f the
distressing state of affairs. She gaxed Into
the mirror and found that despite the flight
of time she was atlll fair to gaze upon. In
the atreeta were many men who were doubt
loaa alngle and probably ellglblo. The bust
met her gaze. She waa angry at tha Image
because It had not brought her a husband.
She grasped It In her hand and hurled It
through the window. There was a crash of
broken glass, a sickening thud, a groan, the
sound of plaster of parts breaking upon
the atone and all waa atlll.
Maria rushed to the window and looked
our. In the court at the rear of her home
a small crowd waa collecting shout the
prostrate form of a man. Persons were
hurrying for a doctor. Small boya were
liberally helping themeelvea to vegetables
ln the cart of the wounded man. Frag
ments of the Image lying In the vicinity
told tha tale.
Then the wounded man alowly opened
hla eyea and his gaze met that of Maria
Jessop. It was all over In a minute he
loved her, though she had hurled the mis
sile that laid him low.
Costomlno, tha fruit dealer, did not die.
He waa nursed back to life by the hand
that wounded him. Yesterday he was able
to sit up, and notice thinga, and the first
thing he noticed waa Maria. A license
was procured and they were wed. They
left for Detroit, where they will live. Chi
cago Inter-Ocean.
