EZH3 13 A DECIDED CHANGE For the Better is Now Koted in Many Departments of Trade. IRON IS ON A MUCH FIEMEE BASIS. Stock Speculation About the Only Line That is Suffering. FAILUEES KOT QUITB SO HU1TEROUS rKTECIXL TZLEOBAX TO TQS DISPATCH.! New York, September 20. A marked increase of activity in leading distributive line throughout the "West is reported this week in special telegrams to Bradttreet't. This favorable condition of affairs is chiefly noticeable at Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Pittsburg, Detroit and Louis ville. At the South, New Orleans gives an equally favorable report, interior trade receiving an import impetus, owing- to the free movement of cotton. At Cincinnati tirade is reported excellent. Stormy weather on the Eastern Atlantic coast has interrupted distribution at New Tork, Philadelphia and Boston. Cooler weather has induced a notable increase in demand for seasonable goods at leading cities. Crop prospects, particularly corn and cotton, remain very promising. Sugar crop prospects are less bright, but a large yield is anticipated. Cattle and hogs are more active at the West at variable prices. Collections are fair to good. ET SPECULATIVE XJKXS. Stock speculation resisted the pressure of Western rate cutting and of higher money, and even showed revived bullish tendencies at the close of the week. Bonds are dull and firm. Money at New York has worked higher on small bond acceptances and a drain of the bank reserves to the "West Call loans C per cent Foreign exchange is steady and shows a slight decline. Demand sterling i 87J$lg ii. Net earnings of 80 railroad companies for the month of July aegregate f 16,162,689, against $13,348,727 last July, an increase of over 21 per cent The increase for the seven iruomhs is 11.8 per cent Domestic iron 'markets are all strong in tone, with an ad vancing tendency on active demand. Steel rails are ?1 a ton higher on promising rail road building outlook. Nails are advanced at the West Copper is selling freely at the late decline. Production active. The coal trade lacks snap, but is ex pected to improve with the advent of cooler weather. Talk of a great coal trust being formed is discredited. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. Wheat speculation has been limited, with frequent but narrow fluctuations. Early weakness was due to adverse cables and irregular Western markets. Later on some strength was shown on better cables and lighter interior receiots,on which nearly all the early loss was regained. Corn is off $ -c on increased offerings and improved crop reports. Contract oats are -ie lower on the week. Flour was active at a slight decline. Ex ports this week of wheat (and flour as wheat) aggregate 2,098,677 bushels, against 1,426,552 bnshels last week, and 2,831,370 bushels in the like week of 1883. The total exports from July 1 to date are 22,564,001 bushels, against 26,658,387 bushels last year. Drygoods jobbers at New York and Bos ton report a reaction from early September activity, accentuated in some meas ure by stormy weather on several days of the week. Foreign dress goods have been in active movement at New York. The movement to fill orders on jobbers at the latter market has been unprecedentedly heavy. Agents re port trade quiet to dull. Prices are well held. Print cloths stocks are growing, but values are quotably unchanged. Bleached goods are in especially good tone. SLIG1ITLT 3I0RE ACTIVE. The Boston clothing trade is slightly more active, as are also foreign dress goods at New York. Wool is inactive at seaboard markets. Buyers and sellers are wide apart as regards prices. Spot cotton is duller and c lower, but speculation is more active and 2030 points higher on the near months' contracts, owing to the squeeze of September shorts. Crop movement is be yond previous records. Prospects regarded as good. Coffee speculation has been active but bearish in tone, with a decline of Jc on contracts. Holders of actual coffee are firm. Reports of accumulation at interior points are received. Sugar is Ao higher on improve! consumptive demand. Provisions are steady and firm except pork, which is stronger on better export demand. Choice grades of butter are 3c higher on better de mand. Ocean freights are in good demand on account of corn and flour-shipments. Business failures reported to Bradttreet't number 190 in the United States this week against 190 last week and 178 this week last year. Canada had 21 this week, against 11 last week. The total of failures in the "United States January 1 to date is 8,126 against 7,180 in 1888. DUN'S tteekxy bevtett. E. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Throughout the country the state of bnsiness is encouraging and the only disheartening features are in connec tion with speculative operations. Stocks have not quite maintained the recent ad vance, the chief cause being the Western railroad wars. Speculation in breadstuff's and cotton has been at a slightlv lower rarge of prices, with but moderate transac tions, and slackness of the consumptive de mand causes a weaker tone in coffee and sugar markets without material change in prices. Oil speculation is a shade stronger and provisions steady. At Boston a conservative feeling still rules the money market, and bnsiness has not wholly recovered from recent set backs, but is improving in wool and steady in leather and lumber. At Philadelphia the jobbing drygoods trade continues good, and the grocery trade improves, exceeding last year's. The paper trade decidedly revives, the liquor trade is active and drugs and chemicals moderately active, but in wool there is very little movement At Chicago there is a decline in receipts of wool and of grain, higher pices for wheat, leading farmers to hold back, but a large increase in provisions. BETTER ALL AEOUKD. For the year thus far trade exceeds last year's. Milwaukee reports constantly im proving business. Kansas City reports business and collections a fair average for me season, ana Jie veiana increased activity, especially in iron and ore. At Omaha great crops give good bnsiness and collec tions and at Pittsburg further improve ment is seen in Bessemer iron and steel, in coke and in coal, with a resumption of the glass works at 5 per cent higher wages. Southern prospects also are all encourag ing as to crop prespects and present trade. There is no stringency in money, the sup ply being ample for legitimate needs. For eign exchange has dropped half a cent and possibilities of gold exports appear more re mote, while merchandise exports ior three weeks exceed last year's by 32 per cent, the increase in imports meanwhile being but 3 per cent. The Treasury also has been so managed that its actual holdings of cash are ?600.000 lower than last Saturday. Thus far the Kew York banks have been able to meet all demands for the interior without dis turbance, but it is not forgotten that the de mands are not yet over, the reserves are low and there is no present prospect of supplies from abroad. A GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT. Tha great industries appear to be gradual ly improving in condition. "While the im provement is slow in wool manufacture, there is clearly n more active demand at Boston, and sales of wool there this week are 3,28,000 pounds. But the larger move ment, mainly in. fine washed fleece, has been nr,rA h MnM. Tn nr!M Th' J,.. .v....... j -. .v- ... r..v. -...v w-uriKw goods market ii still uncertain. Jobbers holding stocks made from cheaper wool, which have to be cleared off before adjust ment of the market to the present price of material is possible, and meanwhile & pressure to sell may prevent an advance. In the iron business confusion increases, becauseBouthern coke. No. 1 foundry, is offered at $16 75 for delivery to the end of January, while anthracite No. 1 sells at 17 to $18, and higher for special brands. Large contracts for structural iron for Chicago and St Louis elevated roads have been taken in Eastern Pennsylvania, and the orders for rails on books September 1 were 1,135,000 tons, quotations here being still unchanged. Copper has remained dull, and though tons of tin are reported on the way, spot is still quoted at $21 87. POTATO AND PBUPE CROPS. The partial failure of potato and fruit crops, and the injury to butter by recent storms, cause an advance in prices, and the general average ior commodities is now about 1 per cent higher than September 1. The unprecedented movement of cattle and fresh beef to England attracts much atten tion, the exports having been over 90,000 head of cattle and 40,000,000 pounds fresh beef within three months ending with Au gust, beside 34,000,000 pounds cured or canned beef. And it is noteworthy that the export trade, though barely maintained in some important branches, steadily broadens by a large increase in minor items not hith erto important. The bnsiness failures number 198, com pared with a total of 193 last week and 201 the wees: previous. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 228. CO-OPERATIVE PIANOS. Bow a Floe Piano Can be Placed In Every Home. Offers the following inducements, if you wish to pay cash: By becomine a member you will save $75 in the price of the piano, and get it at once. If yon cannot spare the cash you can get your piano any time, on payment of $25 cash and $2 50 per week, no interest, and still save $75 in the price. If you cannot pay so fast, by waiting until your number is drawn you will get your piano on payments of $1 per week, no interest, and save $7 in the regular price to our retail trade. Think of tbisl Our club is composed of 350 members, each paying $1 per week. Thus you see the members are buying for cash, and one piano is delivered to the member whose number is drawn each week, until all are supplied, or, if one-half of the members take their pianos and pay $2 50 per week, we deliver twice the number, and get double the amount of cash each week, and it leaves only one-half the number to be drawn on the $1 weekly payments. It is a simple business problem. We are saving our members the difference in price by contracting for 350 pianos at one time, and on a cash basis.

The Desiro for IJome Exile Steadily Growing ia This Vicinity. A SPIRIT OP INDEPENDENCE That Has Led Four Churches to Adopt a New Form of Government. NOTES OP EELIGIODS GATHBBIHGS The change of the ecclesiastical relations of the church, corner of North and Grant avenues, has aroused much interest The reception of this church into the Congrega tional fellowship took place on Tuesday evening last, when the counsel met in their chapel. Bev. W. McCracken was elected moderator, and Bev. A. H. Hills, clerk. Mr. Robertson, of the new organization, made a brief statement of the causes which led to a wish for this change of relationship the chief and ruling one being a desire for liberty and self control. The pastor, ev. J. H. Barnett, gave a list of-63 persons who had united to form the new Congrega tional Church. The church has adopted the doctrinal basis of the Pennsylvania Con gregational Association. The council re tired, and, after fnl discussion, voted to recognize the new organization as a Congrega tional Church. The consecration prayer was offered by the moderator. Bight band of fel lowship to pastor and deacons was given by Bev. D. M. George. The charge to the Church was given by Rev. A. M. Hills, in which he solemnly charged them to dwell at peace among themselves, for the sake ot the honor of the cause of Christ Thoy were now subject only to Him. They were to love each other, to have an eye single to the glory of God, to disenss all questions kindly and fully, save such as they may prefer to dele gate to a committee, which must again report to them, and then to conscientiously abide by the vote of the majority, as in Congregational ism each individual was the peerot every other, there being no bond or fee. He charged them earnestly to uphold their pastor by sympathy and prayer, by regnlar attendance and by a hearty co-operation, so long as he was faithf nl and loyal to tbo truth. They could not hire their praying done for them, neither could the pastor build np the church without their aid. From this organization it seems that a spirit of ecclesiastical liberty and a desire for "Home Rule" in the church hereabouts must be in the air, as four Congregational chnrches have been formed in a little over two years, three of them originating in a common desire to escape outside ecclesiastical dictation. Dele gates were present trom the First Congrega tional Church, Pittsburg; thersouthside Con gregational Church, the First Church of Brad dock and tne First Church of Allegheny: We all might do good. Whetner lowly or great. For the deed is not ganged By the puree or estate; If It he but a enp or cold water that's given. Like the widow's two mites, It is something for Heaven. Church Notes.

TELEOBAM TU TUB DISrATCTLJ Baltimore, September 20. There is a pretty little romance 'connected with a mar riage at the All Saints' Protestant Episco pal Church last evening. The contracting parties were Miss Emily P. Owens and Mr. Samuel Garner. The bride is the youngest daughter of the late Isaac Owens, and the groom is professor of languages at the United States Naval Academy at f An napolis. Both are considerably over 30 years of age. Twelve years or so ago, the story goes, Mr. Garner and Miss Owens were fast Iriends. Both were well educated and good looking, if not handsome, and both were well off in this world's goods. There was only one barrier which prevented a marriage, and that Was the religious differ ence ot the loving conple. Mr. Garner was a confirmed infidel, while the lady was a devout believer in Christianity. He hoped to win the lady, but she was finn and said she would marry none but a Christian. The gentleman couldn't bring, himself to believe the doctrines of Christianity, and seeing that his pursuit of the hand of Miss Owens was hopeless, ne aeierminea to try to forget her. With this end in view he went to the far West. There, after a while, he quite accidentally became a boarder in a house of a minister of the gospel. The di vine, thinking the young man a hopeless in fidel, did not try to change his thoughts to things Christian. In a few years Mr.Garner noticed in what perfect harmony the minister and his wife lived together, and then for the first time he began to realize that perhaps it was bet ter for a man and wife to be Christians than for them to hold different broad opinions on religion. All hope for wedding his first love had long died out To him she was nothing but a memory. He asked' the divine to lend him some religious books, which re quest was gladlv complied with, and in due course Samuel Garner became a Christian man. By corresponding with friends in Baltimore, to his delight he fonnd that Miss Owens was still unmarried. Letters were at once exchanged "between them and Mr. Garner set out for Baltimore. The culmination of the story occurred when the two happy hearts became one. THE WOMEN WILL HELP. They Are Bound to bo Bepresented In the Exposition of 1S92. "WASnnfaTOir, September 20.

SEPTEMBER r21f. 1889? CONFESSED A CRIME Which Will Eelease an Innocent Han From the Penitentiary. A 'VICTIM OP CIECUHSTAKCES. Timothy O'Grady Sentenced to Seventeen Years' Imprisonment ON A FALSE CHARGE OF MANSLAUGETEE Chicago, September 20, The police annals of tnis and other cities record many cases of mistaken identity, but all the his tories of instances of circumstantial evidence and mistaken identity weave no stronger case against an unfortunate innocent man than did the testimony against Timothy O'Grady, convicted of the murder ot Police Office Michael O'Brien, the night of April 3, 1887. O'Grady was sentenced to the penitentiary for 17 years for manslaughter. The only point which saved him from hanging was'JthatPolicemen O'Brien and Dillon bad, by roughly accosting and shaking O'Grady, given him, if not suffi cient provocation to shoot, enough at least to plead it strongly against the infliction of capital punishment. O'Grady astounded all his friends, not one of whom could be lieve him innocent of the crime, by his refusal to plead self-defense when put on trial. He maintained, against the advice of all, that he had not done the shooting. CLEARLY PROVED GUILTY. All the testimony and the circumstances went to disprove his "claim of innocence, however, and his coaviction followed. After many months of confinement his lib erty has been made possible by the confes sion of one the most daring and. notorious criminals in the country, it being none other than John J., alias "Oyer" Scanlan, the leader of the celebrated "Mollie Mott" gang, who was captured a little over a year ago, by ex-Inspector John Bonfield and a squad of police. Scanlan had fortified himself in a house near Archer avenue and Twenty-second street, with Mollie Mott, and defended him self, although wounded by several bullets, until nearly 100 shots were fired, Scanlan had a few days before shot and, it was sup posed, mortally wounded Police Officer Nolan, who tried to arrest him for shooting a rebellions member of the thieving gang. For shooting Officer Nolan, Scanlan and Mott were sentenced to the penitentiary, Scanlan getting ten years and ten months. O'Grady's lawyers were convinced ot his innocence, and, after his conviction, cast about for evidence to substantiate their be lief. CONFESSED THE CEIME. They were enabled eventually to fix the crime on Scanlan, and then they set about getting a confession from him. This they have succeeded in doing. It appears that O'Grady had had a fight with Officers O'Brien and Dillon, and had escaped into an alley. The officers followed, and O'Brien was shot down by some one concealed in a fence corner. O'Brien, in his ante-mortem statement, and Dillon, on the, stand in the trial, identi fied O'Grady as the guilty man, but it was shown that the bullet which killed 'O'Brien was much larger than that carried by O'Grady's pistol. The jury ignored this, but the confession of Scanlan clears the matter up, as he has turned np the weapon with which he did the shooting, and which corresponds with the fatal bullet. O'Grady's attorneys expect to secure his pardon soon. 4 , HAS BARNEY SKIPPED Judge White Issued an Attachment Because Be Failed to Appear.

It is stated that an informa tion was lodged against some colored people before Alderman Helnrich for disorderly con duct. Warrants were Issued and Morgan made a number of arrests. It Is claimed that Morgan accepted money from the prisoners to settle the cases.
