Weekly Trade Review Escaped Con victs Caught Tornado at Pater son Rochester Anti-Canal Meeting. Two Head-On Collisions Train Struck an Automobile. The body of Pope Leo XIII was Interred in St. Peter's at Rome Satur day night. The strokes of the hammer which resounded through the Immense dome of the cathedral announced to the earnest gathering In the nave that Leo XIII had been laid to rest. Drs. Lapponi and Mazzonl directed the work of the removal of the bier, which was executed by eight sediarl, or pope's carriers, attired in their brilliant red brocade costumes. They at first tried to raise the bier, but finding It too heavy they slowly slid it into a low car with noiseless wheels. Then, to the strains of the "Mis erere," which wailed through the lofty church, and preceded by a glitterinj cross held aloft, the procession, carry ing candles and torches, slowly left the chape) and went up the church, passing the bronze statue and the shrine of St. Peter. In the chapel the music changed to notes of Joy and triumph and "In Paradisum" rung out with telling ef fect. From the outside the five bells of St. Peter's rang their accustomed salute to the coming night, mingling harmoniously with the music of the choir. In the chapel the bier, bearing the body of the dead pontlfT, was received by Cardinal Oreglla. It was placed In the center, backed by an altar with a beautiful Image of the Madonna, be fore which were burning four Immense candles In silver staffs. The monslgnors of the Basilica, aid ed by the Noble Guard, then laid all that was mortal of Leo XIII In a cy press coffin lined with red satin and bearing on the cover an Inlaid cross. The major domo put beside the body of the dead pope two silk purses con taining coins of silver and a bronze medal Btruck during Leo's pontificate. A eulogy enclosed In a metal tube was also Interred with the body. When all had been arranged the su preme prayer was said and the last benediction given, all present joining. Half suppressed sobs were heard on all sides. Pulleys were then attached to the coffin and soon, to the strains of the "Bonedlctns Domlnus Deus Is rael" It was hoisted Into the stone f-nrcophagus above the door, where It will remain until the grateful cardinals created by the late pontifT shall erect a suitable tomb n the basilica of St. John later. Pope'o Will Opened. The will of the dead pontiff con sists of thirty-six pages, In the hand writing of Leo XIII. and leaves all his property to his successor for the" use of the church. To each member of his family he leaves a present to be chos en from the valuable objects In his apartments. Similar presents are be queathed to his physicians. The total amount of his property Is not yet known. The pope made provision for the dis tribution of about $20,000 among the poor of Rome1, Porugia, where he for many years was archbishop, and Carp, ineto, where he was born. The prevailing Impression of those who passed before the iron gates of tlie Chapel of the Sacrament to view the remains was one of Intense pity, combined with a certain sense of horror. The body was tilted up on the cata falques in order that all might see the terribly shrunken face. An ordinary skull in a frame of gold lying in the midst of a mass of red robes could scarcely have been more typical of death. Except at sunrise, when the crush threatened a panic, all those who wished to had an opportunity of en tering St. Peter's. Stock Market Liquidation. Stock market liquidation at the ex pense of Industrials affects sentiment and Ignores but does not conceal im provement in the corn and cotton crops, a change for the better in in dustrial conditions at New York and other disturbed centers, and a con tinued cheerful feeling in Western and Southwestern trade circles. Cotton Is doing very well, and In Texas the cotton prospect is classed as good. Cotton Is doing well In the New Orleans district and has made further improvement In the Memphis district. Cotton is fruiting finely In Alabama and Florida, but cool nights have affected growth in the Carolinas. The principal selling was in the In dustrial stocks. United States Steel shares falling sharply, and the market temporarily disregards assurances as to the sound financial position of this and other corporations of the same class.

When the armory was reached offi cers there attempted to Interfere but were quickly overpowered and the convicts took a supply of weapons and ammunition and made a' dash for tho country. Convicts marched besides Wilkinson and the officers were told that if any of the pursuers took the life of one of their number that they would re taliate, life for life. At Mormon Bridge, about a mile from the peni tentiary, the warden, hU grandson and Captain Murphy were released and sent back. Cthers were marched along with the convicts.
