denly of Heart Failure.
WASHINGTON, May 16.—Senator John B8.:
Barbour, junior representative in the Uni-
ted States senate of the State of Virginia,
died suddenly about 7 o'clock Saturday
morning of heart failure. The only persons
present at his bedside when hé died was his
sister-in-law, Mis; Dangerfield, Colonel
Shepard, of Virginia, a guest at the house,

been hastily summoned when the senator
aroused the household and told them of his
illness, arriving just after dissolution.
Senator Barbour was born in Culpepper
county, Va., December 19, 1820, graduated
at the University of Virginia and then be-
came a lawyer. He was elected to the
Btate legislature repeatedly, and was a mem-
ber of the Forty-seventh, Forty-eighth and
Forty-ninth congresses, and March 4, 1889,
succeeded Senator Riddleberger in the Uni-
ted States senate. He was also engaged in
various enterprises, being at the time he was
elected Senator president of the Virginia
Midland railroad, which office he re-
“signed to enter the senate. The funeral ser-
| vices were held in the senate chamber this
afternoon, after which the remains were

George W. Childsand A. J. Drexel, the
gentlemen who in 1886 gave a check for $10,-

graphical unions and other labor organiza-
tions of the United States, in addition to the
officers of the International Typographical

directions the Home was constructed, took
part in the ceremonies.
Addresses of welcome were made by Gov-

gives an accurate idea of the structure.
On the first floor are the executive offi
the chapel, the Childs parlors, the San
Francisco room and the Drexel parlors, with
many other rooms that have not as yet been |
assigned to special uses, but which will, un-
doubtedly, be fitted up as memorial or en-
dowment rooms by the several unions
throughout the jurisdiction of the interna-
tional body.
The Childs parlors contains a life size

$1,000. :

marks were also made by W. 8. Cappeller,

were received by him from all parts of the

money at the disposal uf the trustees has
been expenied before reaching the top

The fund which was used for the con-

by George W. Childs and A. J. Drexel, of
Philadelphia, who, through Mr. James J.

the disposal of the money was designated
as the Childs-Drexel fund, to be added to
until a sufficient amount had accumulated
to warrant the building of a Home for su-
erannuated printers. Varios ways were
evised to increase the fund, and as a result
of many deliberations it was decided that
on the anniversary of the birth of Mr. Childs
each printer working in offices east of the
Mississippi should contribute the price
of 1,000 ems composition toward the fund,
and that on September 13 of each year, the

CONDITION OF BUSINESS.
Bad Weather a Drawback to Western
Trade. Good Reports from Other

R. G. Dunn & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: The continuance of very un-
favorable weather throughout a large part
of the West begins to cause apprehensions
rogarding the crops. In all ether respects
the situation appears satisfactory, and at
most points the prospects for trade are con-
sidered more hopeful, so that a short period
of gbod weather would speedily change the
temper of business. The money markets
are everywhere easy.
Bad weather, long-continued heavy rains,
impassable roads, and delay in plowing and
seeding are named as retarding trade in dis-
patches from Cleveland and De nver, and
from nearly every intermediate city report~
ing. Yet at Chicggo sales exceed last year's,
collections are easy, and the good condi-

Kansas City heavy receipts of cattle, though
grain receipts are light; Minneapolis a good
jumber trade, a flour output of

a fair trade. At Pittsburg a better demand
