Che business of the past year's generally arded as being very fair and satisfactory. t all hands are unanimous in the opinion tfthat in the coming season business will be tter still. John Claflin, the head of the house of H. , Claflin & Co.. said: "The prospects of be wholesale drygoods Business for the corn- ling rear are favorable in the extreme.

I think, and we look lorward to an Heven better spring business. The main fact ;is that throughout the country we have had - magnificent ctods. and tbat these, in most cases, have brought good prices.

The past year has been a good one, with some exceptions, the most prominent among these being the bad weather in some places. One very important feature of therpast year and one of the present busi- V ness is the fact tbat its prosperity has been characterized Ty no artificial ", boom or wild speculation.

I think prices will be a little higher in some branches." WHOLESALE OBOCEES EXCOUBAGED. !Mr. Whyland, of Thurber, Whyland & Co., takes a very encouraging view of the grocery trade, -Business in that line, be said, had been better this winter than usual, and there was every prospect that a good holiday trade would be followed bv rood winter business. J"In fact." he said, "we have every resum to anticipate a good ahd a steadily increas ing trade for at least two or three years to come. -' The export trade, for whidh his firm had J been ncbting lor a dozen vears, was grad ually increasing, he said, and American dealers seemed to be getting a permanent foothold in that department. He Inn tori for an increase in the South American trade from the Pan-American Contrress. and the increased intimacy between this country and the Spanish-American Bepublics that will result from it V -air. vaiiace, oi jbrancis tt-Leceettfis Co., said: "It is early yet to talk about trade tor next year, but it has been steadily increasine yearly for three or fonr years f back, and we see no reason why this increase suouia not continue, we are making our plans for the year in the idea that bnsiness will be better than ever. The nrosnprt far '1890 is what you might call very encourag ing. Austin. JSichols & Co. also thoneht the outlook for next ye.ir encouraging, and agreed with their associates in the trade that the business of New York in this line was constantly improving, in spite of theJ fact tbat the operation oi the inter-State commerce law had cut off a considerable portion of Western trade that lormerlv came tojNew York. COAL AM) IEOIT FBOSPECTS. Mr. Edward J. Berwind. President of the Colorado Coal and Irou Company, said of ttielanthiacite coal trade that it depended somewhat on the temperature. This, how ever, applied only to the demands for con sumption in homes. "The manufacturing 'demands for anthracite promise to be very Urge,' said .Mr. Berwind: more so han in years past The Teport from alljtbe manufacturing districts support OfisX opinion, and as for bituminous, tbereils scarcely a doubt that the demands fotfl890 will exceed that of any year in the History of the country. The nulm.irishio 'veryTaclive; they are in full operation all mr,9the country: and all th .nn.inni ... 1u.li.rin t.a Mn.:HM.J .2!. T am'-" alsostronglv inclined to the opinion that prices for bituminous coal will be ad vanced. The supply is small. Transporta' llon'facilities for bituminous coal are not by ? Yany means equal to the demand. The out- put could be increased, but little or nothing couldjbe gained as lone as transportation 'facilities'are not at hand. uMr-JJerwind referred to the prospects for gtheiron and steel trade, "liolh iron and steel, said ne, win command Detter prices The mills will be run on lull ca pacity. Tbe large kP and general prosperity-encourage construction not only of railroads, but also of manufactories and iblherlarge buildings. Then again, audit A3MUU""CVi VUG SlUfttf UUWtMUr JCBvUTCa. Europe will not be a coapttitor for the sale of iron products In this country lor the next three or four years. There is a-Scarcity of labor abroad, and"alreadythe prices for iron products on the other side of the ocean are higher than .here.-Foreign iron is there fore shut out, and home manufacturers are to have the field to themselves." SOUTH AMEEICAK TEADE. The holding of tne International Con gress, the revolution in Brazil, and the well-known recent activity in mercantile circles concerned with South America, make the subject of the South American trade of this country just -now aTery inter esting one. The interviews presented below represent the candid views of some of the most intelligent and representative men in this country having dealings with South America. They speak of tbe subject broadly, as statesmen as well as business men. They predict -a very prosperous year to come. Mr. Charle's B. Flint, of tbeirm ot Flint & Co., and also treasurer of the New York Commercial Company, limited, said: "The outlook is favorable for the increase of bnsi ness -between the United States and the countries to the soufa of us. While In my opinion the International American Con ference will not bring about at once the realization of the hopes and anticipations of the most sanguine, our trade with our Southern neighbors will be benefited by the conference. The attention or t he-merchants and consumers of South America has been directed to the manufacturing facilities o? this country, not so much through the com munications which have "been sent by the foreign delegates to their Governments, but under an arrangement with the Central and South American Cable Company and the Associated Press. Cable advices have been sent from day to day giving a: record of Jhe visits ot the delegates to the industrial cen ters of this country, which have been gen erally published in the Latin-American newspapers. A BRIGHT PUTTJBE THERE. "Undoubtedly Spanish-American orders for many articles will continue to be sent to Europe, from the fact that they can be executed there to advantage, but there are many other articles which can be supplied to better advantage from tbe United States, particularly labor-saving machines, including agricultural imple ments, which have been generally devel oped to a higher order of perfection in this country, owing to the common necessity which we have with the States to the south in saving labor. Our cotton Roods are also iree from sizing, wnicb fact is coming to be appreciated by the consumers to the south. Some plaa will undoubtedly be adopted on the recommendations of the conference to protect honest goods by American trade J marks, which will result to the benefit of onr manufacturers and to the advantage ot the consumers. "The common statement that it is impos sible to extend our business with South America until we admit South American produce free of duty is in general incorrect, inasmuch as 80 per cent ot the produce com ing from the countries represented in the International Conference is admitted into the United States free of duty, leaving less than 20 per cent with, which to trade for reciprocity. It would unquestionably ma terially extend our trade with South Amer ica if we admitted Argentine and Chilian wools and Brazilian sugar free, in consider ation of theirreducin? the. dnty on some of our manufactured products. A reciprocity treaty with Mexico would also extend trade with our nearest neighbor." g, THE BAILBOADS HAPPY, TOO. General Traffic Manager Nathan Guilford of the New York Central Bailroad, who is considered one of the best judges, hadn't any specific ideas to express, but he said that the outlook for 1890 was very flattering. "The railroads will have all they can do," he said, "for tbe first half of tbe year at least There will be no occasion for rate troubles, and I think there will be even fewer than during the present year. The corn rate might with propriety be restored 1 to the old basis or 25 cents a hundred pounds, for there is not the same objection that the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad of fered, when it claimed tbat it couldn't get the business, it is now blocked, and I be lieve that there wouldn't be any substantial set-back if the eastbooud rates were raised. General Manager J. D. Iayng, of the West Shore Bailroad, said: "I have noticed that a big corn crop is always followed by a year of prosperity in all departments' of commerce. It happened in about 1870, I think, and many other times, tbe dates of which I don't remember. It ts ihe best in dication that I know or.

A Universal Opinion That an Era of Pros perity Has Dawned Interview! With a Nnmber of Bepre entntlTfl Mm. Interviews with a number of our leading bnsiness men have developed the following facts concerning the outlook for Pittsburg's industries the coming year; John Scully, cashier -of theFirstNational Bank, said: '"The outlook for the coming year is all that could be desired. Banking business in Pittsburg was never in better shape. "When iron booms asit Js"now doing banks prosper. As an evidence of the pros perity of iron industries, the amount of Lake Superior ores consumed by our fur naces 4the past year aggregated 3,000,000 tons, and orders are already placed to insure a much greater amount for the year to come." Charles Dean, cashier of the Union Na tional Bank, gave his views as follows: "The yearnow closing is the best we ever had, and the outlook is jnst as good for the year to come. Iron and steel industries were never in better shape than now. These being the main industries of our city, banks prosper when they prosper. Glass and coal have not been so highly famed of Jate. Our mild weather lias lengthened the navigation season far beyond the average time and Southern markets are unusually well stocked with coal for this time of the year. Glass is depressed, for the reason that every cross roads where natural gas has been discussed, new plants are springing up." a good nrDiCAtfloir; John B. Larkin, Postmaster, said: "In my department business has increased fully GO per cent the past five years, and the past month shows an increase over any previous month. In 1885, when I took charge of this office, the receipU in the money order de partment were J13J.000. This year the re ceipts have been $209,000. 'Every month since I took chaige shows a gain, and all signs point to still greater growth in the fnfnra " T - J. J. Porter, of Ihe1 '.firnn'ipf 'Porter & Donaldson, representing one of the largest wholesale millinery establishments of the city, reports as follows: "In an experience of 17 yearsItI bave known no time when the business outlook for Pittsburg was as bright as it isy to-day. In our department there isno 'boom, but something better, a healthy prosperity which is not followed by tbe reaction inci dent to booms. , "Prices are firm, stocks are unusually well cleaned up, outlook iss;ood and I feel as sure as I can be of anything in tbe 'future, that we are going to have in 1890, such a vear of prosperity as this city bus -never known." W. E. Schmerlz, who has been at the front in the jobbing shoe industry .of this city for a generation, said: "The condi tions are all'here for a prosperous year in our line and all lines of trade. I have found tbat prosperity in iron is uniformly the forerunner of prosperity in all other in dustries. -The conditions arc nil here for a year of unprecedented prosperity. All I fear is that a speculative movement may start which will spoil everything. "So far trade is in a healthy state, nbd allsigos point to a year ahead or great actfvity."" THE. OUTLOOK XEVEB BETTKB. Major Dehniston.ifCity 'TresHref?jaid: "As to this city's prospects for 'thecoming ? year, I think they were never better, or in tact as good. We have had era's of specu lates when things loosed brighter to the inexperienced, but there has sot been, in my mesaory, a time when the conditions for a healthy prosperity weie so marked as they are to-day. Capitalists are cautious and conservative, and it requires the very best inducements to call for the money, which is plenty enouch for any good thing." Harry Stewart, Director or the ITeehold Bank, said: "I believe that the coming year will be the most prosperous year this city has ever known. The banking business is in splendid shape. Ihave been a resi dent of Pittsburg since the close of the war, and have no hesitation in saying that we are now in the midst of the most prosperous era I have known. The elements of pros perity are more substantial and trustworthy than ever before in my time" William Campbell, who represents the Fifth avenue drygoods firm of Campbell & Dick, said: "Weather has been adverse to trade in woolens and fnrs lor the past two months. Bat, in spite of this, trade for the past three month has been a fnll average, and we bave pin ced orders for the fnture in the faith that as all our industries are pros perous and labor is lolly employed we are going to'have a good year in 1890." JAY GOULD'S VIEWS. The Wlznrd of Wall Street Talks in a Very Optimistic Mnpner Everything Feinta to aAot Pro- peroDi Tear. rsrxcuz. tjxegbajc to inx distjltcii.i New Yobk, December 28 Jay Gould was at his desk in the Western Union build ing, and he looked out over his gold-bowed glasses as he began in response to tbe re porter's request to give his opinion as to the commercial outlook for 1890, "I feel," said Mr. Gould, "that next year ought to be a prosperous one. The reason for that opinion is that tbe crops throughout the country as a whole have been .exception ally good. This is giving an active bnsiness to the transportation companies, and they in turn buy and consume supplies liberally, and this affects all the general ramifications of business. In my recent trip through the West and Southwest I saw a marked improvement everywhere ever the situation as it was in the spring. Tbe money situation, which is an important factor, will probably right itself early in the new year. It has been materially af fected by the action of the Government in calling in it funds just at the'most stringent period of the year. A great deal of money, probably 100,000,000, will be released in January by the payment of dividends and this will be invested in securities. One result, and the natural one, of the high rates for money is that money has been at tracted to New York. "Speaking of the coal trade there is every assurance that the outlook in the bitumin ous regions is good. Tbe anthracite people seem to have got their prices so much higher relatively above bituminous that the con sumption of anthracite has been curtailed to a point a good deal below the capacity to produce. Probably a lower scale of prices, something more near tbe relative prices for bituminous, would again restore tbe consumption of anthracite to the old figures. The iron in terest is quite prosperous, and that has be come one of the great elements of produc tion of the country. So that, on the whole and after looking the situation over, I can not but take a very hopeful outlook -at the future, especially as the prices for commodi ties, stocks and bonds and raw materials are on a low basis."

Trnslins to It a Woman Remarries and Finds She Has Two Hasbandi. Chicago, December 28. Mrs. Julia Dix called at the Court House to-day to see Judge Shepard. She had with her one of the Superior Court forms for divorce, which she said had been filled in the handwriting of Lawyer Charles J. Seattle and purported to divorce her from Charles A. Dix. The correctness of the instrument was attested by B. Heber Beattie, said to be a son of Charles J. Beattie, and attached to it was a notary seal. Mrs. Dix married a msji named Bennett the day her case was tried by Judge Shep ard, which was, she says, also the day on which Beattie gave her the, purported de cree. Though the case was heard by Judge Shepard no divorce has ever been granted. Mrs. Bennett is about to become a mother, and on learning that she was not divorced her grief was great She said she paid Beattie $35 or the alleged decree. The bill charged Dix with desertion and drunken ness, and the document cives his wife, a divorce for cruelty. Judge Shepard may make an investigation, bnt since the Ap pellate Court's decision Beattie cannot be punished for such offenses. This is the third time he has been de tected giving fraudulent divorces, and the publication 'of one instance has twice dis covered others. CHUF0NG ARRAIGNED.

It is be lieved that the bill will not pass. Germany, Italy and England will not recognize the the Brazilian Bepublic until it is sanctioned 'by an election. BEBLnr, December 28 Copyrighted. Prince Bismarck is Under the weather, but he is apparently not one of the victims of influenza. His condition does not occasion any alarm,'but he is ill enough to compel lim to give up .almost entirely the effort to transact official business and to prevent his presence at court on New Year's Day. His doctors oppose his desire to reappear in tbe Beichstag and take part in the debate pn the Socialist law or the military credits, or any subject likely-to irritate him. In respggiding to compliments at the diplomatio reception on New Year's Day, the Emperor will, make a short pacifio declaration, the. presumption being that the royal and imperial word on this occasion gives a ray of ahope for Europe for the year. A CHBISTJIAS TKEE APIECE. ' On Christmas Eve there were assembled in the new palace only the Prince and Princess Leopold of Prussia. The Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Meiniagen are at Potsdam, but the illness of Princess Peo dora, their only child, prevented their at tending the family party. Each one of the Emperor's five sons had a large Christmas tree all for nimself placed on a table in the Schell hall, the tree of the Emperor and Empress being on another table in the cen ter of the hall. The whole Bismarck family celebrated Christmas at Priedrichsrhue. Count Her bert has the influenza slightly, but it did not prevent his presence at the family gathering. 'A'o-nignt tne impress Augusta gave a special reception to Mr- Phelps, the United States Minister, in the presence of her full court The Empress in the course of a cordial conversation with Mr. Phelps ex pressed herself her life-long interest in American affairs and her great desire that the people of the United States should use their immense resources always in the inter est of the peace of the world. a notable social event. All society is now intensely interested in the coming lancv-dress ball, whioh the Em peror is to give at the Sehloss, where everyone of the guests must appear in an Oriental costume. Another notable social event will be tbe ball at the Opera House on February 12. This is patronized by tbe Imperial family. Tbe nominal price of tickets is 20 marks, but the price has risen so that tickets are now selling at J20 marks. An exceedingly interesting discussion is carried on in private life every where,and not without much heat, over a case Just made by a queer proceeding of the Emperor in re mitting a fine of 400 marks inflicted upon an editor by the -courts. Dr. Bachler, the editor of the Staattburger Zcitunp, a Con servative sheet libeled Herr Singer. It at tacked him very vigorously, because he posed publicly as a Socialist and a friend of .the people, while Jn fact, he is the head of a factory for slaking women's cloaks and similar garments in which the sweating sys tem is practiced at the expense of many girls employed by him. A PECULIAB PBOCEEDING. Singer appealed to tbe courts, the editor was condemned and paid hiafine in August This fine was returned by the Emperor on Monday last Such a use of the royal prerogative naturally surprises people. Hitherto the exercise of royal clemency ha3 been restricted to state cases. For the Em peror to thus interfere and stand between Justice and an accused person in a mere case of private interest in an ordinary violation of one man's right by another man is so lain a substitution ot royal caprice for the aw of the land that everybody can under stand it, and therefore everybody is pro foundly moved by it The journals cannot ignore the subjeot, but they are obliged to touch it with greatest caution for fear of prosecution. The Liber als of all shades discuss it in private, how ever, and it is a universal theme. The Na tionalists intensely regret the incident, as it plays into the hands of the Progressionists and the Socialists on the eve of an election, with a clear-demonstration of a gross abuse of power. A COMPBOMISE OFFEEED. This incident will confirm the National Liberals in their inclination to refuse to vote as it stands the expulsion clause of the Socialist bill. This party now proposes as a compromise that it will vote for the ex pulsion clause if tbe- application of that clause is limited to Socialists proved to be engaged in a conspiracy against tbe State, and if it shallnot apply to mere advocacy of socialism in tbe press or on the rostrum. It is improbable that Prince Bismarck will accept this compromise and the imme diate political future will take shape from this as a starting point. The liberal spirit of the National Liberal party, quickened by the Bachler incident, will make it impossi ble for that party to yield on this expulsion clause. Without this party it cannot be carried. Prince Bismarck will, therefore, withdraw the bill and dissolve the Beichs tag. TS BEGABS TO BRAZIL. An exchange of views with tbe English Government regarding the decree of the Pro visional Government in Brazil concerning naturalization has caused Prince Bismarck to abandon the intention to take any imme diate action. The Chancellor favored irom the first absolute non-interference and a re fusal to recognize the change in Brazil as valid until it should be ratified by an elec tion of tbe people; but he was willing to act in concert with England and Italy in any measures necessary to protect the financial and commercial interests and personal rights ot the subjects of each, power.. Becent dispatches from Bio Janeiro have influenced the three, powers to agree in ignoring the naturalization decree and, other irregular acts ot the revolutionary leaders. The general conviction grows here that the new government is merely a military juntorihlch is unstable and will be swept away even before the date to which it has postponed the elections. The semi-official press locates the revolution as the workof a group of ambitious politicians, imposing themselves upon the country "by sheer audacity and regard it as impossible that anv constituted power can hold rela tions with a handful of adventurers calling themselves a government NO FEAE OF AH pPBISING, The fear of a republican rising in Portu gal cobsequent upon an extension there of the ferment originating in Brazil is much less since the character of 'the movement in Bio Janeiro has been revealed. Advices received here from Lisbon indicate, in fact, that the republican propaganda there has been "paralyzed by the despotic doings in Bio Janeiro, and that 'there is a strong pop ular reaction in favorof the monarch. ThetEircutive Committee of the German deputies in the Bohemian Diet have issued a declaration accepting the proposal of the Government to hold a conference on German-Bohemian affairs. The committee will Bend delegates to the conference which will endeavor .to ,arrBgejia adMtndlg b- 5jf"! tween the- German and the Czechs. There will be ia the conference five Germans and five Czechs. The conference will sit ia Vienna January 15, and Count Taffeewlll preside. THE BAILS SPREAD, Aai Tea FsHesgera Were Bashed JMo Eternity Horrible Accident oa the Chesapeake ami Ohio Kead Only One Doctor There. CHABLESTpir, W. Va., Deeeaber 28. The train which was wrecked near White Sulphur Springs, this morning, was the west-bound vestibule, which left New York at 3:30 P. K. yesterday and was due at Cin cinnati at B:10 p. if. to-day. The train was behind time and running 40 to 50 miles per hour. The conductor says it was only run-, ning 35 miles, but' others say 40 or 50. The wreck occurred on the fill over Jarey's Bun, which is 190 feet high, said to be the highest fill in the United States. All of the killed were in the smoking car, which was telescoped by another car. Every person in the car was killed except the conductor, who had his leg-broken and was seriously injured. He will probably recover. The complete list of killed is: Hals Morrison; Charleston, mail agent aged 28, a most worthy young man, top of bead and lace crushed. J. W. Thomas, newsboy, Lexington, Ky left lee broken above and below the knee, and neaa injured. O. B. Barksdale, Froffltt Va baggage mas ter, bead trashed. 3. H.

Caldwell, the only physician in White Sulphur, repaired to the scene of the accident, and did all in his power to alleviate the suffering, but could only aid one person at a time. After some time a nnmber of doctors from along tbe line ar rived and worked long and faithfullyamong the suffering. Ladies of the vicinity turned out en masse, and too much can not be said in praise of their noble efforts. Owing to the fact tbat cars on the vestibule train were heated by steam, fire did not break out The cause of accident is not known. It is reported that the rails spread. Other reports say that the rail was worn out and the ties rotten. Among the injured were several of the "Karl Gardner Company." One will prob ably die. One noteworthy feature was that no ladies nor children were injured. DEAC0 CARLISLE'S C0DET. Hearing Held la 18 Caeec Ynterdny, and It Wasn't a Good Day, Either.

Insisting; Upon the Supremacy of tbe CancaIao. israelii. TJELEOEJLK TO TBI DISPATCH, Jackson, Miss., December 28. The city campaign has reached a white heat and is growing hotter. There was an immense democratic meeting last night at which speeches were made by Hon. E. Barksdale, State Attorney General Miller, the Hon. Bobert Powell, of Anton, and others. A report was adopted by a rising vote, ending as follows: "Mr. Chairman, wehave no res olution to offer and no threats to make. We are determined that white people shall con tinue to rule the city of Jackson." The committee of 100 to-day promulgated an address which refers to threats of vio lence made by tbe opposition. It charges that if these threats mean anything it is the purpose to commit mur der. The committee avows its purpose. to see if murder is committed or attempted, that the perpetrators are dealt with as the law directs. Hanging, the address says, would be mild punishment for the originat ors of this diabolical scheme. A CALF'S CUKIOIJS TABTJJ. A Hard Bail of Hair Foaod In Iti Stomach After Being Killed. Hartfobd, December 28. David L. Gaines, of this city, an express driver, ex hibits a curiosity in the shape of a hard ball of hair, 10x11 inches in size, which was taken ont of the stomach of a calf tbat was killed last week. It was not exactly globu ular, but a little longer one way than the other. It is symmetrically made, the hair all turning in the one, direction, and at each end of the solid compact mass is a round depression, a perfectly formed wnorl, more perfectly circular than that of a sea shell. The ball was too big to have been swallowed entire, and was taken evi dently a few hairs at a time, the creature obtaining them by licking itsef. The small unnoticed mouthiuls of hair had, by the muscular action ot the stomach, in the course of weeks, been continually turned oyer and over, and symmetrically shaped until it had made the curious hard mass described. It would have killed the calf if a butcher hadn't. PEACH AND PEAB TREES BL00MINU. Old Growers In New Jersey Mover Saw Any tlilDiT Like It. hBeiVIDKBE, N. J., December 28.

Isaac . Vmsex'Says the Wtrekoase Wilt be Is mdiately Seooilt Eire at a late hour last night destroyed the warehouse of the Wormser Glass Com-, pany at Eaugblin station, on the Baltimore and Ohioentailiug a loss'of $15,000. Jsaao E. Wormser attributes the fire to a locomo tive spark. The warehouse was but half in sured, but will be rebuilt Last night was the third fire for the firm. Tbe warehouse of the Wormser Glass Company, at Langhliu station on the B. & O., Bailroad, was completely destroyed by fire last night, entailing a loss of over S15.000. There irno cause for the fire as signed. About 9 o'clock flames were dis covered in the southwest corner of the build ing and atf alsrm was sent in from box 93. The department had considerable diffi culty in getting water when they arrived. The water plugs were completely choked up with, mud, and it was fully 15 minutes be fore water could be thrown. By this time the entire building was in flames, and the factory adjoining was in danger. The fire men finally got to work, but could not save the building. It was a two-story frame structure stored full of manufactured ware, and it was Burned to the ground. IX BUBKBO STUBBOBNLT. The fire lasted until after 1 o'clock this morning, owing to the heated mass of glass, which kept the ruins at white heat. It was an unhandy fire to fight on this account being so hot that the firemen could not work to any advantage' whatever. Mr. Isaac E. Wormser. a member of the firm, was seen after the fire was over. His own account of the fire and its supposed origin follows: "The fire broke Out in a part pf the build ing in which there has been no fire for at least ten days. ' I cannot tell whether it was of an incendiary origin or not I do know that we had a warehouse burned down be fore by reason of the close proximity of the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad. A spark fell batween tbe station and the building and ignited a lot of greasy rags, and the de struction of the building followed. me. -wobmseb's theory. "A heavy freight train passed here about 15 minutes before thefire broke out to-night, and this one may have been caused in the same way. The railroad company is not as carefni as they might be. They run their trains at a terrific rate of speed, and I am in constant fearof the thickly flying sparks. The lower pari of the building might have been saved to-night if there had been water. It was no fault of the firemen, however; they did good work. Onr loss will not ex ceed $15,000." 'How about your insurance?" "We do not carry more than $6,000 or $7,000 on that building. This is the third time we have been burned out inside of three years, and each time our loss has been more than double onr insurance." "How will thefire effect your trade?" "It will hurt us greatly. We had quite a number of large orders that were to be shipped immediately after January 1. The goods were in the warehouse, and of course we cannot fill the orders. I took an order to-day for a thousand gross of jars that were to be shipped January 5. Those goods were also in the warehouse." WILIi BEBUrXD THE WABXHOT7SZ. Mr. Wormser said they would rebuild at once. The firm has been manufacturing specialties in glassware since 1855, and until about three years ago never bad a fire. This warehouse first burned, and after it was re built the factory was destroyed. Last night's fire makes the second destruction ot tbe warehouse. The factory was rebuilt of iron, and tbe new warehouse will be made of the same material. It was reported last night that the firm had some trouble with their gatherers with in the last week.

' CrxcnrxATr, December 28. Twenty years ago this month Michael Langdoa's wife died ia this city, leaving him alone. Two years before he lost two children, and his only- son went West to seek a fortune. When his wife died Michael was indeed friendless. He bad no money, was too old to work, and in addition his eye-sight be gan to fail. He, did not know his son's ad dress in the far West, and, old and poor, he was forced to choose the only road left open to him the poor house. Ever si nee the old man has been as Inmate ot the City Infirm ary. He ia aged, infirm and almost blind, and the poor old man counted with pleasure the days to come when death, would relieve him of his sickness and misery. He had given up all hope of ever seeing his son again, aadt believing him dead, the old man was resigned to his fate. Last Monday there .arrived in this city a well-dressed, middle-aged gentleman a typical Westerner whose every air and manner stamped him as a wealthy and pros perous Western merchant The Cincinnati of to-day was new to him, but he went around inquiring for IjtB father, Michael Langdon. To those who3u,estioned him he said he had gone West to make a fortune, and, having made it, he came back to take care of his aged parents if they were alive. The police, to whom he applied, could not Ideate his father, and a search of the death records conveyed Lhi first intelligence of his mother's death. There was nothing to show that his father was dead. So with a friend the search was continued, and finally the poor house records were con sulted. There it was, name, date and place, and to add to the man's happiness a tele phone call to the infirmary at Hartwell told him that his father was still alive. He was not long in getting there, and the meeting that lollowed can be well imagined. Atany rate the wealthy son secured a new outfit for the father, took him from the infirmary Christmas morning, and to-night started with him for the West, where the old man's remaining days will be spent in peace, quiet and luxury. WON BYTHE MEN. Lockport Glass Blowers ts Go to; Work To'Horrow at Tfclr GM Wacet A Strike Tbat rt t Have Lasted Ferever. rsrxciALTo THXDHTATCX. Lockpobt, N. Y., December 28. The Lockport Glass .Works will resume opera tions on Monday. The furnaces have been started, and all the blowers will return at the old standard scale of wages. Ia the struggle to reduce the wages the Glass Blowers' Union has scored a victory. The shut-down took place just five weeks ago in this city, and was the result of a general agreement by the.GIass Manufacturers' Association of the Eastern division to reduce the wages of tbe blowers on the ground t hat the condition of the market did not guarantee the prices paid. The real condition of the Manufac turers' Association precluded the success of of such a move. The glass manufacturers of tbe United States are divided into two divisions, the Eastern and Western. The Eastern divi sion resolved on the shut-down, which has cost .it dear. While the manufacturers east of the Alleghenles have been idle, the Western men have been running night and day, flooding the mar kets and supplying the trade the Eastern men look after. Tbe members of the Western Glassblow ers' Union have been remitting money to support their brothers in the East,msintain ing them in their struggle to retain their wages. If necessary the men could stay out forever, unless "their demand was ac ceded to. They also required that only two apprentices be allowed to one manufactory until their time was out. The smaller manufacturers could not very well contend against these odds, when it is considered that the large furnaces in Penn sylvania could in four months blow enough to furnish all the trade, and totally cut them ofl. J A DUEL IN A BOWLING ALLET. Military Jealousy Causes Two Warriors to FIcht Wllfa Army Sabers. rirzciAi. Tiuaiuji to thx pisfjltch.i New Yobs', December 28. A duel was fought in the basement connected with Major Michael O'Dey'a liquor shop in Cortland street. Belleville, N. J., on Christmas morning between Major O'Dey and Captain James Biordon, a former British officer. Between the Major and the Captain a military jealousy has existed for a long time, and some wags' about the place finally succeeded in bringing them together in a duel with swords as weapons. The story was not made public until to-day. The disputants went to the deserted bowl ing alley in the basement ot the building and there engaged in what might have been mortal combat. They fought savagely with army- sabers. Not withstanding the bravado, it was obvious that they were expert swordsmen and that the result of the fight would de pend upon their- endurance. Major O'Dey was finally disarmed by a skill ful thrust, and he might have been killed had not Colonel O'Connor and other wit nesses interfered. O'Dey was found to have sustained a badly wounded arm. Other wise the men were uninjured. Since tbe facts have leaked out it is intimated that arrests will follow. CHINESE ACTORS ON THEIR UPPERS.

The mem bers of the famous Boyal Chinese Swin Tein Lok Theatrical Company are still in town. They are on their uppers, and are living on Chi nese free lunches until something turns up. Jnst now it looks as if they were destined to grow thin until life becomes a burden, and a good wind comes along and blows them gently out of existence. They have established a Chinese s"Biaito" in front of their quarters at 4 Matt street, and their ordinary clothing has grown so shabby that they have taken to wearing some of their costumes to keep up appearances. Not long ago the manager fried to obtain a loan on their $100,000 worth of costumes, but an offer of $10 was spurned and the actors are still here. Coal Going- Oar.

Th family of Lonis Brooks, of 113 Union avenue, consisted, until this afternoon, of himself, his wife Hannah, their two sons, and one daughter. All were Germans, and had come over here whea the children were young. The daughter and elder son married some time ago. Frank, the other boy, was 21 on Friday. Ha stayed at home a great deal and devoted himself to his mother and to music Ha played the mandolin, the xylophone, the ao cordeon and the violin. The father and both sons were barbers, and among them they had, shops. One of these was on the first floor ot the Union Avenue House, near Grand street. The family lived ithe rooms in the rear, ana, while they were not rich, they were in very comfortable circumstances. Frank, with ' the help of Ernst Leiddeck, conducted the shop at the home, while his father and brother conducted the others in streets near by in the Eastern district A FAITHFUL SON. The1 mother of the family was 61 years old. Last Tuesday night she was taken sick with inflammation of the left lung. Frank nursed her, and from the time she went to bed he was np all tbe while. He did not sleep Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night. She was not seriously ill, but Frank thought she was and he became greatly worried, about her. To-day noon she grew mel ancholy, and calling her daughter Emma and Frank to her'bedside, she told them she thought she should die. That upset Frank and made hint more nervous than ever. He could not bear to listen to her, and left the room and went out to the shop. Mrs. Brooks kept on talking of death and told Emma what disposition she wanted made of he property. The daughter listened patiently and soothed her mother as best she could and then went to the kitchen. About 3 o'clock she began toorepare an early supper. At 320 o'clockFrank, who had been walking around in a distracted manner, left the shop and was gone about ten minutes. After ha had returned his sister got ready to go out tor awniie. HAS A PEESEKTrMET. The mother asked Emma not to be gone long, for she said she might die soon, and she did not want her to be away. Emma promised' to be back soon. That was at 4 o'clock; After she had been gone a few minutes, ' Frank went out again. He was absent about 15 minutes. When he returned he walked up and down the shop, with his head hang ing down on his breast. He seemed in tensely nervous, and Mr. Leiddeck says he wondered what was tbe trouble. About 420 o'clock Frank went to his" mother's room. A moment later Leiddeck heard two pistol shots. He rusbed-into the bedroom and saw Frank lying on the floor,.' the blood gushing from a wound on the right side of his head, and a pistol on the floor by him. Mrs. Brooks was in bed. There was a wound over her right ear and she was dead. Leiddeck shrieked and ran to a store oa the corner and got a man to go- back with him- When they returned) Frank was ia a chair in the shop, but unconscious. An ambulance was summoned, and he was taken to St. Catherine's Hospital. The surgeons said he could not recover. WHT HE DID IT, The ballet had taken an upward course, and was lodged near the upper part of tbe skulL They made no attempt to remove it. Coroner Lindsay tried to get him to talk, but all he could say was tbat be had shot his mother because she was in such pain. The daughter kept her promise and hur ried back, but only to find her mother dead. just as the mother had said she feared she would be. The daughter swooned. "Oh, why did this happen i" she exclaimed afterward. "No one loved my mother more than Frank. He had cared for her night and day, and his worrimeni must have made him craxy. Ab, he wor shiped the very ground she walked on, and it must bave been because he thought her ia agony that be did this." Tne father and elder son had reached the house in the meantime, and were almost insane when they saw what had been done. . Both said that Frank had never owned a ' pistol; that, in fact, he had never used one,' -and that he must bave bought the weapon used to-uay on one oi tne two trips be made from the shop during the afternoon. SIGNS OF HEB SUFTESUrO. vine lace oi tne dead woman was some-"-? what marked with lines of suffering, bntj otherwise was placid. Death had evidently come to ner instantly, ana perhaps she nad not seen tbe weapon with which she was killed. Leiddeck, who was the only other person in the place at tbe time, says he heard no sounds before tbe pistol reports, and he thinks Frank said nothing to hi mother before be fired at her. The police did not detain Leiddeck as a witness. It has not been, ?1 tearnea yet wnere young irooKs oougnt toe pistol.
