The Dight of June 7 last, says u Minneapolis dispatch, a Northern Pacific train was boarded near New Salem, N. D.,by two masked men, who terrorized the passengers and got away with several pouches of registered mail matter. One of the robbers was afterward captured by a Sheriff’s posse. On his person were found a gold ring and gold watch, taken from the mail sack, and about SIOO in money. Believing that part of the money, at least, had been concealed by the captured robber or rather thrown away during his short flight after discovery, Post Inspector Watkins left this city last Friday morning and, taking one assistant with him, Sunday morning la3t reached the spot on the bank of the stream where they got their man. Recent rains had caused a heavy growth of grass and the wind had been sweeping over the place since June 10. But after a day’s search over a space of about four acres the shrewdness of tne inspector was rewarded by finding, in torn bits and ragged pieces, a large amount of currency. There were found numerous SlO’s and s2o’s more or less mutilated, and ono bill of $1,003. On the prairie the grass was knee deep. The whole bundle had been dropped in one place, and in the robber’s haste had not been securely hid. Coyotes or gophers had torn and separated the money, and the winds had scattered it. The amount recovered by the inspector was not disclosed, but it runs into the thousands.

OVER TWO HUNDRED DOST. An Excursion Steamer Struck by the Storm and Instantly Sunk.

DEATH OF GEN. CLINTON 11. FISK. The Prohibition Leader Succumbs to an Attach of the Grip. General Clinton B. Elslt died at his residence. 175 West Fifty-eighth street. New York City, in the 62d year of his age. He had suffered from an attack of the grip since last winter, and his death was.due to a relapse. Clinton Bowen Fisk was born in Livingston County.

Fisk, who had long been prominent as a Prohibitionist, was a candidate tor the Presidency on the third party ticket TRADE AND THE WEATHER. Effect of the Hot Wave on Various Lines of Trade. Special telegrams to Bradstreet’s indicate that general trade throughout the country has still lurther felt the restraining influence of the midsummer season. The severity of the hot weather in Missouri and Nebraska has resulted in a drought. Early showers, It is thought, may recover some of the loss to crops from drought in Nebraska. One effect of the extreme haat west has been an advance in the prices of canned goods. There is no iinprovunsnt in iron or steel prices or demand, contrary to expectations and predictions. At some points, notably west, prices of iron tend lower. Anthracite coal is firm and in fair demand. 'The outlook is for a further advance in pri'ce. The July dry goods trade opened quietly, but has improv< d this week both witn agents and jobbers, owing to enlarged demand for fall dress goods at first and second hands. The late hot wave, quickenod the reasserting demand for wash dress fabrics from jobbers. Raw wool is very dull on reduced demand from manufacturers and proposed tariff changes ; cottou uns depressed, but closed steady, and but little below last week, uncertainty about August delivery nearly offsetting early unfavorable Liveipool cables. New crop is slightly weaker on good crop advices. Business failures number 134 in the United States this week, against 102 last week, and 218 this week last year. Canada ha 1 32 this week, against 13 last week. The total number of failures in thj United States from Jan. 1 to date is 0,702, against 0,255 in a like portion of 1889.
