his order preventing the Pittsburg Or
angemen from parading, said :
"There never wa an Orangemen's
parade declared off for fear that there
might be trouble. Don't imagine that
the Pittsburg parade was forbidden for
any such reason, and don't Imagine,
ettiier, that I faavt any idea of bringing
the custom of an annual parade to an

twenty-eight or thirty lodges there only
six would parade. I said that a parade
would only do Justice to the order of
Orangemen if ail the lodges were repre

should be held on other than these con

lodges declare their Intention to turn

Washington, July 12. At thin after
noon's meeting of the Inter-state com

dlscuslon on the part of railroad men
present, the cunxenxus of opinion being
that it .would paralyse buemess to at

THE BUSINESS FLOOD.
It Is So Strong That Conservatives Fear
That It May Do Harm -Hun a Co. s
Encouraging Hcvlew.
R. O. Dunn ft Co.. In their weekly re
view of trade, will say tomorrow:
a hiwlness flood so strong ana rapia
that the conservatives fear It may do
harm is out of season In July, but the
seasons this year lap over and crowd
each other. May frost and frights.
It Is now evident, kept back much busi
ness that would naturally have been
finished before midsummer, and the de
layed culmination of one season gets
In the way of efforts to begin another
on time. But the volume of business,
however. It may be measured, Is re
markably large for the month. The
week has been notable for a sensational
fall In wheat of 8 cents in two days,
followed by recovery of five cents. The
sudden drop In prices waa the result
of speculative, rather than commercial
influences. The latest news indicates
an enormous crop of corn, much the
largest ever gro-vn ;f weather favors.
but the price Is only cents lower than
a week ago.
Speculation in stocks has weakened
In eplte of better crop prospects, caring
more for current' prices of sugar, gas
and whiskey than for railroad earn
Ings and tonnage.
Railroad stocks of the better class
have been fairly steady, but those liable
to assessment are weak. The average
has declined 12 cents, per share, while
trusts, after some sensational changes
average 47 cents lower.
The weekly output of pig Iron was
171,194 tons, having risen 13,970 tons In
June and other furnaces have gone
Into operation since July 4. The rapid
rise In prices haa brought Into opera.
tlon many additional works, and there
Is still a rush to buy before prlcea ad
vance further.
The demand for structural forms Is
enormous.
The failures this week have been 253
In the United States against 247 last
year, and 35 In Canada against 49 last
year.
UPHOLDS THE BARBER LAW.
Ilrooklyn Judgo Says the Legislature Can
Prohibit Sunday Work.
New York, July 12. Judge Brown, of
the supreme court, Brooklyn, this
morning gave his decision or the Col
11ns Sunday barber law, carried up on
a writ of (habeas corpus by ex-Judge
Steckler, of New York, on behalf of
Samuel Hobach, a 'Brooklyn barber,
who made a test case by persisting In
doing business on Sunday, June V, on
the ground that the new status was un,
constitutional. "
Judge Brown, In concluding his argu
ment, rays: "That the legislature can
prohibit all work on Sundays Is con
ceded, and this concession disposes of
the case, a there Is no constitutional
restriction upon, its powers to enact a
law applicable only to a part of the
state." There will be an appeal from
Judge Brown'a decision, and the case
will be argued In the supreme court
general term.

SIX MORE GINS.
Secretary Herbert Calls for Proposals for
the Construstlon of Xw War Vessels
of Light Draft.
Washington, July 12. Secretary Her
bert has called for proposals for the
construction of Blx lights draught com
posite gun boats which congress au
thorized at a cost not exceeding $230,-
000 each, exclusive of ornament. Four
of these vessels are to be equipped with
considerable sail power In addition to
steam, the other two having masts for
military purposes only. The great In
novation involved in these vessels as
far as the American navy Is concerned
lies in the fact tiiat while their frames
nd general construction will be of
steel, their hulls are tu be sheathed
with wood and copper. The essential
reason for this method of construction
and for the erection of the types are
that the vessels will be largely Inde
pendent of docking facilities and econ
omical in the use of fuel.
Thu character of the service for which
these gun boats are particularly de
signed requires that they be exposed to
musketry nre and the housing of the
majority of the battery by an unbroken
deck, btsldea adding materially to the
stiffness and strength of the .vessel,
gives admirable protection to the guns'
crews In action. The necessarily ex
posed position of the bow and the stern
guns ls Justified only by their arc of
fire and possible usefulness in a run
ning action, while for river service.
for which these boats are particularly
fitted, the disposition of the gun deck
battery la all that could be desired.
The vessels with sail power have
etrrgle screws, the eteam propelled boars
havingtwln screweand differing In many
ways. The armament being Identical
in both types will consist of nix four
Inch, four elx-pounder and two one-

WHOLE TOWNS DESTROYED
Pearfal Results of forest Fires ia
Michigan.
CHILDREN BURIED IN SAND
The Towns of Wallla and Clary Are Des
troyed -Nothing but Heavy Ha In
Can avert Enormous Loss.
Danger Not Over.
Detroit, Mich., July 12. A special
from Thompsonville. Mich., says:
Forest tires are still raging north and
south of here. Wallin, the small town
Ave miles north, that waa swept by lire
yesterday, presented a desolate ap
pearance today. A Mrs. Griffin and her
three small children, wrapped In bed
clothes were found burled In the sand
In a very precarious condition. Johnnie
Payne, a buy of 8 years was found in
the Betsey river with the fire raging
on both sides of him. The little fellow
had laid in the stream all night. So
far there has been no actual loss of life
reported, althought some three or four
persons are reported as missing.
The town of Clary, which was said to
have been destroyed, is thought to be
safe as the residents back-tired on
all aides. The railroad company are
fighting fire around their section house
Just south of here, with small hopes of
saving It.
The town of Wallin, which was total
ly destroyed, was owned chiefly by the
Wallin Leather company and Sullivan
Lumber company. Grand Rapids and
Indiana railroad officials say that the
danger to other towns has not passed
and nothing but heavy rains can avert
enormous losses. The railroad officials
state that there was no loss ot life at
Wallin.
GHOST POINTED TO MURDER.
Remarkable Story of a Dream-Con vie,
tlon and Plea for Pardon.
Columbus, O., July 12. The presenta
tion of a petition to the state board of
pardons today brought out a peculiar
story of how the appearance of a ghost
to a Muskingum county woman led to
the conviction of a murderer.
About seventeen years ago John W,
Brock, a farmer who lived near Zanes
vllle, was seen to go Into a wood with
his dog and gun, to hunt. He was nev
er seen alive again. Two days later
his body was found in the woods, with a
bullet hole in his head.
As he had often threatened to com
mit suicide, it was supposed that he
killed himself, and the coroner's Jury
so found. But nearly two years later
Brock s mother dreamed she saw her
son's coffin open and him rising in his
grave clothes, and declaring to her that
he did not commit suicide, but was
murdered by Jefferson Morehead, a
young man of the neighborhood.
She started a prosecution on this
basis, and, after two grand Juries and
a magistrate had thrown the case out
of court, succeeded In convicting More-
head and sending him to prison for
life. His pardon Is asked for.
