Weekly Trade Review The Tillman Trial More Postoffice Indictments. Decision In Miller Case McClellan Nominated Lake Steamer Founder ed Dlgnln Died of Assault. Willis, Frederick and Burton Van Wormer were put to death in minutes at Clinton prison Thursday tor the murder of their uncle, Peter A. Hallenbeck, at Greendale, Columbia county, on Christmas eve, 1901. The men went to their death calm ly, accompanied by priests. Willis, who suffered more from his long con finement than the others, was tho first to dio. He crossed the threshold of the death chamber at 11:34:30 a. m. AS tho guards strapped him down he kept his eyes fixed on a crucifix held in his right hand, which rested on tli3 chair arm. Four contacts of the electric current were given, the last being a precau tionary measure because of a slight flutter ot the heart. It took four min utes in all to kill the man. Frederick M., the youngest brother, was brought next from the cell room. He walked fearlessly into the room, accompanied by the priest. He carried a crucifix and looked upon it reverently. It was 11:41:30 a. m. when he entered the death chamber and but a scant 30 seconds later when the current was applied and his body stiffened. Only two shocks were necessary and two minutes from tho time ho crossed the threshold the doctors pronounced him dead. Burton crossed the threshold at 11:47, as firm of step as his brothers, his crucifix clutched In his right hand. He looked straight in front of him. The moment he was seated in the chair he fastened his eyes upon the face of Father Charbonneau and kept them there until the guards began to bind the straps over his face. Either he was taller than his brothers or sat up straighter in the chair, for the strap which is Intended to cover the eyes did not reach high enough to blindfold him, and as the current was switched on ho was still looking over the upper edge of the strap toward the priest. Ho was killed even more quickly than the other two, The current was turn ed on at 11:47:30. Only one shock was required. The bodies of the three Van Wor mers were taken to Klnderhook, the expense of the transportation of the bodies being borne partially by Warden Deyo and Rev. Father Belan ger. The simultaneous execution of three brothers In not unprecedented in New York state, though to find the parallel one must go back 7S years. On June 7, 1825, three brothers, Nathan, Israel, Jr., and Isaac Thayer, were hanged simultaneously on a triple gallows erected on Niagara square, BufTalo, for robbing and murdering a peddler nam ed John Love. The funeral of the Van Wormer brothers wa3 held from their step mother's home in Klnderhook Satur day.1 It was finally decided to open the coffins, which was done in the presence of Mrs. Van Wormer and her niece. One thousand. persons visited the house, hundreds coming from near by towns. The interment was in the Klnderhook cemetery, several thou sands of people following the funeral procession. The feeling is strong against the cemetery commission for selling Mrs. Van Wormer a lot for the inter ment there, as the old residents of the town say the boys lived there but a few months and they should have been buried in Greenport, where they spent the greater part of their lives. Lower Prices For Cereals. Mixed trade and crop conditions still present themselves, though some im provement in tone is noted where crop estimates, as in the case of corn, show expansion. Lower prices for cereals point the way to future large business and in duce a larger foreign Interest in our farm products. Trade reports vary with sections considered, the best reports coming from the Southwest, the Northwest and the Pacific coast. A really favorable feature this week Is the improvement of collections West and Northwest, the reflection of the beginning of the movement of delayed crops to market. Corn passed out of the shadow of frost damage this week, and reports to Bradstreet's from Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana and the Northwest are of bet ter than some time ago expected yields and better quality than a year ago. Cotton has generally deteriorated and is late and of short staple. Rains In Texas Injure grade, but help further growth here and in Arkansas. Fair cotton yields are indicated in the Mem phis district and good advices come from New Orleans, but Georgia's crop promises to be smaller than last year. ,- More Postoffice Indictments. ' The grand jury of tho supreme jourt of the District of Columbia has brought In three more indict ments in connection with the post office department Investigation. One is a joint indictment against George W. Beavers, formerly chief of salary and allowance division of the postoffice department, and State Senator George E. Green of Binghamton, N. Y.

Mr. Balfour's Letter to His Late Col league In Which He Says He Sees No Difficulty In Carrying Out Policy Which For a Fortnight the Latter "Accepted. London, Oct. 6. The Duke of Dev onshire, who was leader of the Con oervative party in the house of lords, has resigned the office of lord presi dent of the council and the king has hecepted his resignation. The Duke of Devonshire wrote to Mr. Balfour giving his reasons for his resignation which he attributed among other things to the premier's speech at Sheffield and his pamphlet on in sular free trade. The Duke of Devon shire has not yet made his letter pub lic, but a letter of acknowledgment from Mr. Balfour, dated October 3 and published last night, says: "It was on September 16 that you Informed me of your resolve to remain '.n the government. This decision was preceded by much confidential corres pondence, much intimate conversation. There was no phase of policy which I was not prepared to discuss and which I did not, In fact, discuss with perfect frankness. The decision ar rived at I had a right to consider final. Accordingly I consulted you on the best mode of filling the vacancies in the government of which you are the most distinguished member. "You were good enough to express some weighty judgments on the deli cate matters submitted to you. You even Initiated proposals of your own, which I gladly accepted. Our last communication on these subjects was In the letter I dictated during my journey to Sheffield on Thursday aft ernoon. "Less than 48 hours thereafter I re ceived in Edinburgh the telegrams which first announced you intention to resign and your desire to see the process of resignation consummated without delay and without discussion. The principal occasion for this singu lar tranformation was, you tell me, my Sheffield speech. This is strange indeed. In intention, at least, there was no doctrine contained in that ppeeeh which was not contained in my note on insular free trade and in my published letter to Mr. Chamber lain. "With both you were Intimately ac quainted during the wholj fortnight in which you lent your countenance to the government after the recent resigna tions. I must suppose, therefore, that it is some unintentional discrepancy between the written and spoken words which now drives you to desert the ad ministration you so long adorned. "But till one o'clock this afternoon I had, I confess, counted you not as an opponent but as a colleague. To such a one it would have seemed nat ural, so I should have thought, to take In cases of apparent discrepancy the written rather than the spoken words, or if this is asking too much at least to made an inquiry before arriving at a final hostile conclusion. But what and where is this decrepancy? I do not believe that it exists. "Am I not right in complaining of your procedure in reference to my Sheffield speech? You fear that it will aggravate the party division. If there is anything certain it is that the declaration of policy then made pro duced and is destined to produce greater harmony in the party than has prevailed since the fiscal question first came to the front six months ago. "Had you resigned on the 15th or had you not resigned at all this heal ing effect would have suffered no in terruption. To resign now and to re sign on the speech is to take the course most calculated to make harder the hard task of the peacemaker. "Again, do you not feel some spec ial regret at having, at this particular juncture, to sever connection with a Unionist administration? At the mo ment of its most buoyant prosperity your absence from its councils would havo been sensibly felt, hut you have, in fact, left it when in the opinion of our opponents its fortunes are at the lowest and its perplexities at the great est. I see no difficulty In carrying out the policy, which for a fortnight you were wllilng to accept, by the aid of an administration which for a fort night you helped to construct." Appeal From Sofia, Bulgaria. New York, Oct. 6. The appeal from tho Young Men's Christian association of Sofia, Bulgaria, to the association's branches in Europe, America and else wbere, asking assistance in behalf of the Macedonian revolution and refu gees, was received here today.

POSTOFFICE INDICTMENTS. Among Those Reported Are Cases of Tyner and Hie Assistant, Barrett Washington, Oct. C. The federal grand Jury which has been investigat ing the postoffice department reported a large number of indictments late in the afternoon. Among those indicted are General James N. Tyner, formerly assistant attorney general for the post office department, and Harrison K. Barrett, who was his assistant. They are charged with conspiracy to de fraud the government. There aro two indictments against Tyner and three against Barrett. An indictment also was returned against Harry C. Hallenbeck, of the firm of Wynkoop, Hallenbeck and Crawford of New York, who formerly had the contract for supplying the department with money order forms. In that connection John T. Metcalf, formerly chief of the money order di vision, and his son, Norman R. Metcalf, also are indicted. The charge against those three is conspiracy to defraud. Machen and Beavers also are indict ed again and indictments against a number of others were not made pub lic. General Tyner Is paralyzed at his home in this city and efforts are be ing made to secure ball for him. Concerning the Indictments against Tyner and Barrett the following state ment was made by the postoffice de partment: "Three indictments charge Tyner and Barrett with conspiracy and two ad ditional indictments charge Barrett with agreeing, while still in office, to receive fees for services rendered or to be rendered in cases pending be fore him as an officer. All the indict ments are founded upon the treatment by Tyner and Barrett of the business of the so-called Bond Investment com panies. "It is charged that it was the duty of Tyner and Barrett to investigate the methods of the concerns charged with improper use of the mails and In case of guilt to report to the postmas ter general and recommend the issue of a fraud order; that in this con nection they investigated the busi ness of the bond investment com panies and learned that they were all carrying on a business that invol ved fraud or lottery or both; but that instead of recommending to the post master general the issue of an order that would prevent the delivery of mail or the payment of money orders to those concerns and would thus break up their business, Tyner and Barrett conspired to give them unob structed use of the mails in order that Barrett might profit thereby. "It is charged that Barrett had en tered into an agreement with J. H. Nelms of the Baltimore bar for a part nership in law to become effective January 1, 1901, the object being to share in the profits which might arise from representing bond Investment concerns before the postoffice depart ment; that in pursuance of conspiracy with Tyner, Barrett investigated the scheme of the concerns and wrote and signed the report thereon." There were additional Indictments against August W. Machen, former superintendent of the free delivery; George W. Beavers, former chief of the salary and alolwance division; W. Scott Towers, who was in charge of a sub-station of the Washington city opstoffice, and State Senator George A. Green of New York. In some cases there were several Indictments against one person.
