The Future Docs Not Seem to be Entirely Clear. H. G. Dun A Co., in tlieir weekly rev lew of trade, says: “Tho price barometer gives indications , ' that are not entirely favorable. < otton I goods go up with increasing evidence that j ■ the crop of cotton is short. Prices of other : ! manufactured products, of wool, hides and ; leather, all show some decline, a ■.■•■neral j abatement in new orders being the principal cauae. With an immense volun i business, not much exceeded in the largest j I month of the exceptional year, IMfJ. and with evidence that in ten ral important branches tho volume has surpassed that of any previous year, there is a growing uncertainty about the near future of industries. Money markets | , are neither strained nor threatening, for- I : eigu exchange no longer raises apprel.eu- ; Sion and all fears about the great northern , ! crops are past. There have been few ad-j I vancea in wages of labor within the past . j months, ami only a few work* have been , closed by strikes for an advance. LIVES SNUFFED OUT. A Terrible Accident in the Cleveland Bolting Mills. Four men were killt*«l arid seven others ' probable fatally injured as the result of an unexplainable accident at the Cleveland,! Ohio, rolling mills. The furnaces were ■ carrying heavy fires, and the casting de- : partment was working a full force. With- | i out warning, and in a manner wholly in- ' explicable the casting house, the largest j | building of the plant, collapsed. | , hurrying many of its inhabitants in i the debris. As quickly as i«issi- i | ble relief came to the imprisoned men. and , j w hen all were rescued it was found that I , three were dead and eight badly injured. I . One of the injured men died soon after bei ing removed. Os the killed, Charles ; I Wakefield was cooked to death by molten I metal. Tiie killed are: Charles W.i. - i field, Vett Kesarth.

Armes, a retired army ofii- | , ter arrested aouie lime ago on the ordei of ■ Lieut. Gen. Schofield while acting as S <•- I retary of War. was discharged from custody in Judge Bradley’s court at Wa-iung-I on, on the prisoner's application for his I permanent discharge on a writ of habeas i corpus. The court’s opinion was read i I from a carefully prepared written copy, and concluded with a vigorous denunvia I tiou of the order of Gen. Schofield. The quiet criticism of some army officers eon- : oerning the method of the arrest was ! transformed by the court into severe i strictures upon the commanding officer I whose personal “feeling" was held to lie i the only occasion for the arrestandeon- ■ finement of Maj. Armes. From the order ( discharging Maj. Annes, Mr. J. N. Morrii son of the Judge Advocate General’s staff, the attorney for the Secretary of War, gave notice of an appeal. Death in the Flumes. Fire which started from an unknown cause on the stage of the Old Comique Theater at Kansas City, resulted in the complete destruction of the building, *3,000 damages to an adjacent building oecu- | pied by Mrs. John Hughes as a saloon,and the death oLA Ivin E. < anaday, brother-in- | i law to Chief Hales and a member ot tire | company No. 1.

The wall fell upon Canaday, I and when finally extricated his skull was | found to be broken and he was dead. A Plucky Womun.

Mrs. Marshall immediatelyreached for her revolver, but the robbers anticipated her movement and opened lire upon the plucky lady, the fust bullet striking her in the left arm just below the elbow. Unmindful of her wound, Mrs. Marshall returned the robliers' tin'. Alarmed at the fusilade, the intruders fled. Six bullets were sent after them by the brave woman, but it is not known whether any of them were effective. The wounded heroine was conveyed to San Francisco on an engine. Her wound is not considered' dangerous.

Merrima.*'., however, obeyed promptly, and the robber, following him In, immnliately commanded everybody in the car to giv* up whatever of value he or she bad >n hi* or her poa*e*sion. In the meantime the two robbers on the rear platform bad also driven th*' mn- ' ductor W. G.

After that the robbers had things their own way, and robbed the passengers at leisure. Moro than in • personal property and money was areured I from the passengers. Some of the ladies ! had ear-rings torn from their eors Passengers Are Dazed. For z moment nobody attempted any ' resistance. The men in the car *eetned dazed and the women, of whom there j were seven, did considerable screaming. Finally, when the robbers came to N. O. i G. Johnson, of Galesburg, 111., who is In Chicago visiting friends at Edgewater, and whose wife was with him, he strong--1 ly objected to parting with a valuable ! watch and S(X) which he had in his po ket. The robber grabbed him by the shoulders ! and Mr. Johnson strm k at him with bis fist. The robber replied with a heavy I blow with the butt end of his revolver, ; striking Mr. Johnson under the left eye and at the same time his companion beat him badly over the head. Just then A. E. \ Westman also offered resistance and was set upon and also badly beaten. He had a cane in his hand which he at- , tempted to use against the robbers, but i one of them took it away from him and used it against himself. Just then Thos. | P.

He jumped up from the rear ' end of the car, overthrew one of the robi Iters who was in his way, gave another ' one a blow which knocked him against j the aide of the car. The robber it the I light overcoat, who seemed to be the leader of the gang, leveled his revolver at him and fired one shot. The bullet took effect in Mr. Nesbitt’s left thigh, and, while inflicting only a flesh wound, still brought him to the ground. The whole affair took five minutes. When the robbery was completed the highwaymen all got off the front platform, taking with them the lever with which the motorman controlled tho motor. They also swung the trolly off the wire and • cut the rope, leaving the car in darkne-i* . and stationary on the track. UNCLE SAM S MITTS ON.
