IRON TRADE REVIEW.
The
Local Markets Sliil Show No
Siijns of Improvement,
STOCKS AEE UNDOUBTEDLY LIGHT,
And An Increase of General Inquiries Has
JJecn i'oted.
THE SITDATIOX BOTH WEST AXD EAST
Iron markets gave no signs of improve
ment the pat week, but the reverse. There
is more inquiry than last Meek, and stocks
arc undoubtedly light in the mill yards.
Mill iron and nails are lower, and sellers in
both lines are disposed to concede. There
arc rumors of grey force iron being sold as
Jow as $15 oer ton. A leading iron broker,
however, reports that he has not sold a
pound below 515 75. Buyers report offers
below these figures, bnt no bona fide ofiers
of standard brands could be traced below
$15 75. On the other hand, $16 is the ex
treme outside price lor the very best stock
on the market. Bessemer iron is practically
the same as it was a week ago, bnt markets are
quiet. Kails are lower and dull.
There is more inquiry for iron this week than
last, but buyers are disposed to buy sparingly,
in the present uncertain condition of markets.
The necessities of manufacturers will compel
them, ere Ion;, to buy more freely, and there is
a strong undertone of confidence on the part of
holders that hardpan Jhas been reached, and,
that future changes are bound to be ton ards a
higher level of pnres. Transactions are still
light. Buyers are disposed to go slow, and are
laying in supplies quietly, fearing that large
purchases might bring another boom. When
the increased cost of matenals is considered, it
is evident that prices are now lower than they
were a vear ago. The turn of the tide cannot
much longer bo delayed, and though markets
are still ueak, the outlooK for better prices is
good.

Weeks Almost Uncqnaled.
rsrrciAi. tclepuam to tub dispatcim
Cincinnati. April IS. Rogers. Brown fc
Co. say: Heavy buying of Iron continues. It
is largely confined to Southern lronsgas prices
in that specialty range lower than In Northern
brands. As near as can be ascertained the
orders placed during the past two weeks aggre
gate the largest tonnage ever recorded for an
equal lencth ot time. The books of tho large
companies are again well filled, and there is
but little iron in the yards that has not been
sold. One company with f onr stacks has 35.000
tons sold ahead. Another larger corporation
- has fully double that quantity. It is estimated
roughly that the unfilled orders standing on
books of furnaces south of the Ohio river are
not less than 250.000 tons, while the aggregate
of stocks on furnace banks will not reaojk one
fifth of this. The situation, thereforeSecms
healthy from the Southern standpoint. The
published statement that bouthcrn stacks were
blowing out by the wholesale on account of
late prices does not accord with the facts.
Bo far as known no Southern furnace has
shopped for this reason. In Ohio irons the sig
nificant feature is the increase of cost, which
Is now coming on through the working up of
old ore and coke contracts and commencing on
now ones at higher prices. There is no dispo
sition in this State of things to follow the down
ward movement in Southern irons. A heavier
demand for Ohio iron and steel products is
noted, and a hopeful feeling prevails at tho
leading centers of manufacture. Many rumors
afloat as to exceptionally low prices on South
ern and other irons in recent sales, when traced
down, have proved groundless. Extraordinary
claims have been made by buyers as to what
they could do in nnrcbases, but it is noted that
they have been willing to put in heavy orders at
schedule prices.
BCIEKS TAKING HOLD.
borne Southern Fnrnnces Ilnvo No Iron to
Oflr nt Present Prices.
'SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Philadelphia. April 18. Buyers are tak
ing hold of pig iron with a little moro confi
dence, as they believe that the lowest prices
have been made. Borne Southern fumacemen
have given notice that they have no more iron
to offer at the low rates which have been
prevailing, and others have advanced prices 51
per ton. Arrangements are being made for tho
construction or additional furnaces in the
Booth, where oro is very cheap. The present
cost ot ore in some parts of the South is only
50 cents per ton, but, as operators are annually
tuuijicucu id go ueeper lor ine ore, it win soon
materhlly increase in cost. One reason for the
firmer feeling in the iron market is that coal
producers are inclined to harden prices on fool.
Mills making structural iron are all bnsv chiefly
workincupon old contracts. Prices are pretty
low at $17 per ton for No. 1 foundry, $16 for No.
2 and $15 for gray forge, but some favorite
brands exceed the-e figures by 60c$l per ton.
An advance of $1 001 50 per ton would not
surprise the trade.
Steel rails are steady at 534 O034 50 per ton
at the mill. Billets are quiet but steadier at
$30 50831 50 per ton. Prices on blooms are
nominal at $52 0053 00 per bloom ton; hot blast
charcoal $54 00S55 00 per ton delivered for
cold blast and 44 0045 00 for rnn ont anthra
cite. Muck bars are irregnlar at 29 50 per ton
at the mill and $1 extra delivered. Some
anxiety for orders Is said to be notedaraong bar
iron makers, who are quoting L901.95c per
& for the best refined iron. Skelp is quoted at
1R51 90c and grooves at 2.05Z10c In small
lots plates are freely taken at the following
prices for Iron and steel respectively;
Heavy plates. 2.102.15c and 2.402,45c;

ACT1TE WEEK AT CHICAGO.
Many Consumers Think That the Bottom
Has Bern Reached.
ISrEClAL TELEOKAH TO TUX DIBPATCH.I
Chicago, April IS. Rogers, Brown J. Co.
say: The week in the pig iron trade has been,
on the whole, an active one. Several good
sized transactions in Southern irons have been
closed and at prices that are an improvement
on figures obtained in this market a week or
two ago. Many consumers think bottom has
been struck and are covering liberally for fu
ture wants, borne others believe still lower
price are ahead and stay out to get the benefit
of them. There is nothing the matter with
consumption so far as close observers can see.
Certainly iron and steel products were never
being used up so rapidly in Chicago and the
Northwest as they are now.
The trouble in tho local building trades has
not been seriously felt as jet. A gleam of
hope for the farmers is fonnd in the improving
puces of grain and provisions. Ohio furnaces
say lower prices are out of the question on
present prices of raw materials, and the situa
tion is such that coke and ores are not likely to
decline soon.

MARKETS BY TOE.
CerraU Settling Down to Sober Business
No Ilocms nnd No find Breaks Pork
Quiet nt Medium Figures.
CHICAGO Trade in wheat was good to-day.
but the volume of business was not as large as
during the preceding days. The feeling was
again unsettled and operators were a little
uneasy and undecided as to which course to
pursue. Fluctuations were confined within a
small range. A batch of bnll news was received
from varions quarters which started an upward
turn in prices early in the day, advancing in all
Jc for May and c for Jnly, with June follow
ing the May future. Later, however, there
appeared to be renewed pressure to sell and
prices declined lefor Mav andltfc lor July,
recovered and closed Xc higher fer May and
c higher for July than closing yesterday,
"inero seemed to bo more or less difference of
opinion as to the designs of a certain prominent
trader, some believing that he is endeavoring to
unload while others think he may be trying to
create a larger short interest.
Corn was traded in to a fair extent, the mar
ket ruling fairly active the greater part of the
session. The feeling earl) was firm but later
an easier tone was manifest There was no new
or important outside news, and fluctuations
were governed to a great extent by local in
fluences. The market opened at closing yes
terday, was firm, selling op Jc. but became
weaker, declining c, ruled firmer and closed
ashade lower than yesterday.
There was a fair trade in oats, bnt it showed
a moderate decrease from the past few days. A
firmer feeling existed earlv in the day and
opening sales were at KSSic advance and
showed a further slight appreciation. This
brought out considerable realizing and a reces
sion of gjc followed, and the market closed
easyataDout the same prices as on yesterday
for June and July, but tne strong buying for
May produced a rally of Jc and closed at again
ofJsc.
Only a fair trade was reported in pork and
the feeling was unstoidy. Prices fluctuated
considerably within a moderate range. Early
sales w ere made at 10l5c decline, bnt this re
duction was quickly covered. Later a weaker
feeling was developed and prices declined 15
20c, but rallied again and closed rather quiet at
medium figures.
Trading in lard was moderate and prices
rnled irregular within a small ranee. Prices
were advanced 5c Laterthe inquiry slackened
and prices gradually sold back again o7Xc. To
ward the close rather more steadiness pre
vailed and prices advanced 2J5c, closing
steady.
Rather more interest was manifested in short
ribs, bales were made at 25c decline, but
this reduction was soon recovered. Laterthe
market ruled active but weaker, and prices de
clined 710c. At this recession there was a
better inquiry and prices rallied 710c, the
market closing steady.

WILL SOON BE BEADY.
Stock of First National Bant, East
Liberty, Said to be All Taken.
A PINE GRANITE BUILDING NEXT.
Causes for the Temporary Lull That is
Holding Real tstate In Check.
LUMBERMEN TALK OP niGH PRICES
It is understood tbat all of the stock
5200,000 of the First National Bank. East
Liberty, has been taken, and that the or
ionization will be completed in a short time.
In regard to a site for the bink building, it
is known that options have been secured on
several properties on Penn avenue, one of
which will probably be purchased id a few
days. The building will be of granite, four
stories high, with all modern appliances for
the dispatch of business. It will be commenced
as soon as a site shall be settled upon. In the
meantime temporary quarters will be secured.
Among those Interested in the enterpriso are
several prominent iron manufacturers and
East End capitalists, some of whom are con
nected with the stockyards.
While there continues to be a fair movement
in real estate, it must be admitted tbat it has
lacked vim for several days. There are various
reasons for this condition ot affairs. Several
of the most prominent brokers are out of town,
quite a number of investors are carr:ng all
their means will allow, and can do nothing
more until they realize on some of their hold
ings, and the railroad snarl is diverting atten
tion from ordinary affairs. No one cares to in
vest with the probability of a big strike, far
reaching iu its consequences, hanging over his
bead. This is the dark side of the picture.
Below the surface there is a great deal of
quiet woric going on, involving some very valu
able properties, but, lor the reasons stated,
sellers and buyers cannot be brought close
enough together to look at the object through
the same spectaclos. Still, brokers having
these deals on hand report progress in most
cases, and think they will eventually go
throdgh. There is very little abatement in the
inquiry for property, but those in quest of it
will not bring themselves down to business.
They think they can gain something by waiting,
but how, they are at a loss to say. It is certain
there will be no concession in prices.
For two or three years the market has eased
off pretty regularly every quarter. It did so
last year. The present lull is, therefore, in the
line ot precedent, and causes no surprise to
those acquainted with the facts. It will not
last long. Real estate is too valuable ana de
sirable as an Investment, to say nothing of in
creasing business and residence requirements,
to be allowed to go a begging.
In regard to the condition and outlook for the
lumber market, a Fifth avenue dealer said yes
terday: "I am atraid the higher grades of lum
ber will be scarce and high the coming sum
mer. This will interfere with building opera
tions, and affect, directly or indirectlv, all tho
interests of the city. I may be mistaken, and
hope I am, bat that's the way things look to me
at present. Stocks of ordinary lumber are well
up, but shop stuff, of which doors, window
sash, etc, are made, is scarce, as also are hard
woods for finishing such as walnut, poplar,
oak and cherry. Lath and shingles are also
scarce, and have been marked up within tho
last week or two. The lumber trade of Pitts
turg has grown to immense proportions
in the last few years, and large stocks
have to bo carried to meet the demand from
the surrounding country."
"When Michigan fails as a source of supply,
what will you do?"
"WoHilllpok to Wisconsin and the South.
There is a great deal of good timber in Wiscon
sin, while the store in the Booth is practically
Inexhaustible."

KEXT TO NOTHING.
The Dullest Day of ilioWoekat the Stock
Exchange.
There was considerable chappering among
the brokers at both stock calls yesterday, but
they didn't get down to business. The day was
the dullest of the week. Nothing was done in
the regular way in the forenoon, the only trans
action being before call, and in the afternoon
only 20 shares changed hands.
The course of the market was somewhat
erratic Bridgewatcr Gas opened at 36 and
closed at 3G'. Philadelphia Gas opened at 30
and finished at 80. Central Traction closed
J better than the opening. Citizens' lost
ground, while Pleasant Valley gained H. Char
tiers Valley was offered at 44 without bidders.
Electric and Switch and Signal were steady.
The mining shares wero weak.
There is said to be a small short interest in
several of the specialties Central Traction for
one which may account for the lethargic con
dition of the market, as activity to those on
that side would be the mest unwelcome thing
that could happen. The market, all in all, is
In such shape that it wduld take very little to
give it an upward turn.

BASE FIGOEES.
They
Show a Large Movement In and
Healthy Condition of Trade.
Although some uneasiness is noticeable In
business circles owing to the railroad trouble,
there is no falling off in the volumo of trade,
while steady and important gains continue to
be made over last year. So much can be
gleaned from a stndy of the Clearing House re
ports. Exchanges yesterday were $2,871,126 38,
against $2,890,865 OH the previous day, showing
a slight decrease, attributable to the cause
mentioned at the outset. Tho balances were
$561,5S9 2!).
Good checking and depositing were the
features the latter being in excess of with
drawals. Money was abundant, as It Is likely
to be all season, the discount demand fair,
principally from regular customers, and rates
steady at 67 per cent, the latter on outside
paper. The opinion prevails among local
financiers that money is as cheap as it will be
for the ensuing six months at least.
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, ranging at 33 per cent; last loan, 3;
closed offered at 8. Prime mercantile paper,
5Q7U. Sterling exchange qniet but firm at
t i bSfi for 60-day bills and $4 KVIot demand.

Oil linking a Desperate Effort to Reach the
Ninety Cent Mark.
The market for petroleum developed consid
erable strength yesterday and trading was
brisker than for some time. A small batch of
bearish field nens seemed to have no effect.
The closing was 1 cent better than the open
ing. The principal fluctuations were: Open
ing 84, highest and closing 85, lowest &8i.
The strength was ;due to a buying spurt on
the short side and to reports of a better foreign
market. N. W. Stevenson raked in several
good-sized blocks, the whole amonnting to
aDout 30.000 barrels. Thursday's clearances
were 414,000 barrels.
The most important news from the field was
to the effect that the O'Brien well, at Duff sta
ation, recently shot, commenced flowing late
Thursday evening and soon covered Chartiers
creek with oil down to the river. No estimate
has been made of its output. Before tho spurt
it was doing about 75 barrels a day.
The Ilajs oil well at Cairo has reached the
"Big Ipjun" sand at a depth of 1.S0O feet, and
spurted oil. The well has been plugged until
tankage can be secured. The same operators
are preparing to sink fonr more wells in that
locality, and McCrum&Ewing have contracted
for one on tho land of Hon. H. 8. Wilson.
This is an entirely now field, separate from
either the Washington or Eureko develop
ments. The test well put down jointly by the Luna
Oil Company, Captain Corcoran, Fleming and
the bewlckley Dairy Company, back of Bewick
ley, has come in dry. The Rooert Heber well
on the Jaconey farm, about 1,000 feet back of
this dry hole, has begun to show oil from the
100-foot sand after a week's pumping.
The tools of the Heine well at Bellevue,
which had been stuck in the hole for several
days, were hsbed ont jesterday morning. The
Straw well is down 650 icet and the McLaugh
lin is nearing the 900 mark. Several wells are
about due at Westvlew. The Hoffman has
come in as a pretty strong passer, but without
anv show of oil. It is still drilling in the sand,
The Claysville Oil Company's John Gourlev
No. 5. in the Washington field, is good for 125
barrels a day in the Gordon.
The well put down by Pusey A Kerr, on a
farm owned by the former, between Chartiers
and Niinick stations, on the Lake Erie Rail
road, is a duster.
THOSE OHi GUSHERS
Still
Keeping Up, nnd Tank Builders Are
Pcrnollshing the Forests.
The Young and Depp wells at Forest Grove
are not making much noise, but they are keep
ing up the recoid well. The latter is flowing
by beads while the former's pulsations are uni
form. The Depp was agitated between flows
yesterday morning and when she had gotten
her breath she nut into the tank at a rate tbat
made the oil splash on the top showing as much
energy as at any time during several days past.
Rigs are going Jup all around and tho stately
old oaks, that have hitherto lent an indescriba
ble charm to one of the most picturesque local
ities in Western Pennsylvania, are being sacri
ficed with a ruthlessness that indicates there
is nothing Bruidical in Presbyterianism. It
evidently does not feel with Cowper that
It seeins Idolatry with some excuse,
hen our forefather Druids In their oaks
Imagined sanctity.
Some men with compass striking the 45 line,
when they first struck the summit gazed with
rapture at a panoramic prospect of crag and
cascade, cultivated tarms, winding creeks,
rnshing locomotives, villages and the beautiful
Ohio in the distance, a scene more beautiful, if
less grand, thau any to be seen in the Valley of
ChamounI, but they soon satisfied themselves
with the view and got back speedily to applied
geology.
The territory is a puzzling one, and a tract
condemned one month may command a bonus
the next.

A BULLISH TEMPER
Developed In Wall Street, and More Interest
Taken In Stocks No narpriaes, bnt
Smalt Gains Numerous nt
the Close.
NEW York; April 18. The stock market was
only slightly less active to-day than yesterday,
and the loss of business in the few leading
stocks was about made up by the extension of
the trading to an unusually large number of
shares, giving the market a broadening tend
ency, and whilo the failnre of tho Senate and
Houso to get togetner on the silver question
acted as a deterrent, the sentiment in genoral
seems to be that there will be somo joint
action which will result in easier money and
higher prices at the Stock Exchange.
There was no sign of a let up in the Missouri
Pacific, Rock Island, Union Pacific and Alton
fight, and the stocks of those companies con-
tinued to drag with evidences of long stocks
coming out, but the principal effect of the
trouble thus far has been to stifle trading in
them, and they were all dnll to-day. There was
a more general interest In tho market to-dav,
and while Sugar and Lackawanna were still
tho most prominent in the dealings, there were
more marked movements in the general list,
and special spurts in Richmond and West
Point, Chicago Gas. New England and Louis
ville and Nasnville took place.
Among the specialties the Chesapeake and
Ohio, Hocking Coil and Rio Grande Western
preferred all scored material gains. To these
mav be added Wheelinir and Lake Erie and
Manhattan, though the latter did not retain all
of its advance at the close. Tlie movements In
these properties, however, are on the large
gams lu the earnings over those of last year.
The most prononnced movement was in Hock
ing Coal, and was stimulated by tho under
standing that a proposal for the issue of new
stock to furni'h additional capital will be sub
mitted at an early day, and will have tho sup
port of mnst of the holders of tho stock who
think that the earning poner of thccouipiny
will bo largely increased by the money to be
raised in this manner.
The market opened rather heavy on realiza
tions, bnt the bulls held prices up and little
Pressure was put upon the list. The rise in
ugar was not without its influence, but the
temper of the whole list was bullish and frac
tional gains were established over tho entire
list. Dullness again became the feature in the
afternoon, but the market finally closed dull
and generally something better than first prices,
and a majority of the list show gains over last
evening's figures this evening. The gains, bow
ever, are Blight except in Hocking Coal, which
is up 2, Sugar . Chesapeake and Ohio 1st
preferred and Rio Grande Western preferred
1 per cent each, while Tennessee Coal shows a
loss of L
Railroad bonds were again active and
stronger to-day, with a more widely distributed
business only one issue showing any special
animation, the Atlantic and Pacific Incomes
contributing $129,000 out of a total of $1,665,000.
Baltimore and Ohio 6s of 1925 rose 2 to 109,
Utah Southern general 7s 2 to 115 and St. Louis,
Vandalia and Terre Haute lsts 2 to!15K-
Tho Post says: The strongest stocks were
Lackawanna, which furmshod 10.S00 shares,
and Richmond Terminal, which fnrnisbed 10,
200. Manhattan was noticeably strong, find on
sales of 1,600 shares advanced 1 to 112. There
was considerable activity among refineries
during the forenoon, the sales havingamounted
to 22,000 shares, J.nd the price advanced 2 per
cent, but the Granger and Southwestern stocks
were dull. St. Paul, Rock Island, Burlington,
Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific having been
lower at noon than at the close yesterday. Re
ports from the West continue bearish, but the
speculative feeling is more bullish, and reports
of rate cutting, etc., are receivod with con
siderable allowance.

Potatoes are very firm, and choice stock
readily brings outside quotations. Markets are
stronger East and West than here, and there is
little doubt tbat potatoes will go to SI per
bushel before another week. A Liberty street
commission merchant who makes a specialty of
potatoes said to-day: "I find the situation very
much as it was nine years ago, when potatoes
started out in the early spring at 60c per bushel,
and before the new crop came in advanced to
81 50 per bushel. We iind It difficult to procure
choice stock." Eggs are steady at quotations.
Butter is weak. Choice grades of Sweitzer
cheese are very firm at qnotations. The move
ment of produce is active. Commission men
report that they find a difficulty in securing a
sufficiency of choice stock to meetthe wants of
trade.

Grain, Flour and Feed.
There is a great scarcity of corn and oats on
the market, and, as a consequence, prices are
very firm. Wheat and flour are steady, with
an upward tendency. Millfeed Is weak, with
drooping tendencies. The high prices prevail
ing of late have brought large quantities of hay
to markets and prices are a shade lower. The
total receipts as bulletined at the Grain Ex
change this morning were 36 cars, 19 of which
were hay. By Pittsburg, Ft Wayne and Chi
cago. 14 cars of bay, 1 of oats, 3 of flour, 1 of
feed. By Baltimore and Ohio, 2 cars of hay.
By Pittsburg and Lake Erie, 2 cars of flour, 1 of
wheat. By Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis,
1 car of bran, 1 of feed, 6 of corn, 1 of oats, 3 of
hay. Silcs on call, 2 cars extra 3 white oats,
32KC 10 das. For No. 2 white oatu, 34Ke was
asked and 31c bid, on 10 diys' delivery. Jobbers
of flour find it impossible to replenish stock
and sell at present prices. As stocks are light,
jobbers will ere long bo forced to buy at the ad
vance, and higher flour rates are about certain
in tbe near future.

THE MARKET BASKET.
Butter and Eggi Declining Poultry Scarce
and High Good Supply of Fresh Fish,
Meat nnd New Vegetables.
There have been few new developments In
the line of market basket filllngwithin the past
week. Butter Is still on the decline and prices
are lower than at any time this year. Tho best
creamery butter in a jobbing way has dropped
nearly 10c per pound within the past month.
Eggs are also down to prices which rondertbem
much cheaper than tenderloin steaks. Poultry
has not for many years been as scarce at this
season of tbe year as it is now. Spring chick
ens, sufficient for a healthy, hungry man, will
make sad inroads on the ordinary purse
Turkeys are very scarce at 25c per pound.
In tbe line of lake and ocean products, de
mand is fully up to supply. White fish and
salmon are in excellent demand. Frogs are to
be bad at $2 50 per dozen. At the fish stalls an
active week's trade is reported, notwithstand
ing ine iact mat ient is past, uominon grades
are reported lower in price, while fancy stock
holds up well to rates of a week ago.
The variety of fruits and vegetables on tbe
Diamond market stalls is seldom better, and
prices are not often as reasonable at this time
of the year as they are now. There is a much
better supply of strawberries than there has
been for a week or two past.
Florists report a good general trade with
volume fully up to last week. Very fine mign
onette and snirea have pnt in appearence on
the flower stands within a few days.

A GHASTLY DISPUTE.
Heir of Mr. nnd Mrs. Heeacb, Both
Whom Were Fonnd Dend, Trying to
Determine Which Died First
A Fortune at fetnke.
Chicago,- April 18. Judge KoWsaat
began an investigation this morning of tho
disputed question whether Henry Heescb,
or his wife, Margaretta Heesch, "died first.
Upon the decision depends the fact whether
the heirs of Mr. Heesch or the heirs of Mrs.
Heeschget $6,000 worth of improved real
estate le t bv the couple.
July 29, 1883, Henry C. Parot discovered
Heesch h.wgin? to a transom in his house,
at No. 150 Sangamon street, while Mrs.
Heesch lay nnder the bed, with her hand
in front of her face. Both were dead. They
left no children and no will. A Coroner's
jury found that Heesch had first killed his
wile by strangulation, and had then killed
himself. They based the finding ot murder
upon the testimony of a neighbor, who said
she heard Mrs. Heesch screaming, and also
on a few bruises on the woman's neck. The
jury's conclusion was at best only a theory,
for there was no other evidence whatever of
murder.
Mr. ffeeseh's relatives, consisting of
several brothers and sisters, adopted the
theory that Heesch killed his wife, and then
himself because they were eager to prove
that he survived Mrs. Heesch. In that
event Heesch s relatives would be entitled
to the 56,000. On the other hand, Mrs.
Heesch's relatives were equally anxious to
prove that Heesch did not kill his wife, but
that he committed snicide and Mrs. Heesch
died of the shock on finding his dead body.
In tbat event Mrs. Heesch's heirs wonld get
the 6,000, because Mrs. Heesch survived
her husband.
It was pnt in evidence to-day that there
were no evidences of jealousy or any other
feeling which would lead Heesch to kill his
wife; that Mrs. Heesch had suffered from
sunstroke and was injured by a fall, with,
the result that she was very nervous and
easily prostrated. Henry C. Parot told of
fiudicg the bodies of the conple and said he
examined Mrs. Heesch's body, and there
was no mark of violence. There was a dis
coloration on her neck which looked as if
caused by a fall. It was very slight. Her
hands covered her eyes, as if she was shnU
ting ont some dreadiul sight.
