SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST SISTERS. Itetroit Woninn AlleKe.l to Have Died

From Maltreat inent—A Denial.

New York, Si-pt. l.—A 8i‘usational sfory is published here to the effect that a Detroit woman, well known for her acts of charity, who wanted to join a sisterhood of the protestant Episcopal church, was so severely punished at the Community House on her arrival that she died shortly afterward on her way home. Miss Cornelia L. Wain of Detroit arrived in this city last month with the intention of joining the St. Joseph’s sisterhood, which had its house at Hi West Twenty-second street. She died a week ago at Niagara Falls. According to the story published, she was severely

the cities from which special telegrams are received favorable infiuenees are shown to have been at work, resulting in still further improvement in the business situation since the settlement of the tariff question. The free wool clause of the new tariff resulted in heavy withdrawals of that staple and renewed activity among manufacturers. Next most (• inspieuous withdrawals from bond are dry goods, crockery and glassware. Sugar is advancing in speculative demand and it is declared growers will carry heavier stocks. The outlook for iron and steel is not for an early advance in prices duo to increasing output. Now England woolen mills are now reporting reorders for heavy woolens. Prints and dress woolens are selling freely and there lias been, and is, an increased demand fur fends at larger eastern centers, not only for withdrawals of goods from bond but to meet increased offerings of commercial paper. Thus far funds to move crops have not gone

The east side of the city is built upon low ground and was directly in the path of this water. All of the houses in that part of the town were submerged, and in the darkness and throughout the downpour of rain could be heard the cries of distress from tin ill fated inhabitants in their wild efforts to save their lives and those of their families. There were a number f miraculous escapes and the rescuers and rorened performed many hiroic ai ts.

Dud's Observations. New York, Sept. 1.—Dun & Co.V weekly review says: The activity which came with exhausted stocks and the pressure of delayed fall demands, and was increased by the removal of uncertainty about tlie tariff, has continued, with heavy entries of foreign goods since the hill became a law. Tlie gain is not yet what w.us expected, and business, if good in comparison with last year, is still poor, in comparison with the years preceding. Presumably there has not been time to feel the full effects of the change, and a gradual gain will be more healthy and encouraging than a spasmodic rise, but the expansion of commercial loans has suddenly ceased, prices of manufactured products slum weakness rather than strength, and there has been a miction in tlie stock market.
