‘DON'S COMMERCIAL REVIEW. A Belated Seaunn Caused by a Frosen May Bather Changes Times and Reasons, While Financial Event* are Used la ftpeenlatlr* Markets to Create Apprehension*, But Do Mot Prevent a Fair Volume of Trade. New York, Aug. 17.—R. G. Dun A Ca, In their weekly review of trade issued to-day, say: , It is a belated season; a frozen May set everything back. The heavy business which ought to have been done in May and June was pushed into July, so that the midsummer decline due in July comes in August With this in mind, one is not surprised to find the shrinkage from July to August rather more conspicuous than usual. Financial events are used in s]#>culative markets to create apprehension. Exports of gold have continued this week, and while the syndicate has deposited enough in the treasury to keep the reserve intact, the impression grows that another sale of bonds may be made. Exports are falling below last year’s, in two weeks of August $3,300,000, or 30 per cent, whiles imports show a small increase of 5K per cent. Government receipts for half of August are $7,181,336 less than expenses. The disappointing crop reports of last Saturday, though evidently distrusted, lessen confidence in regard to the future of trade, even while some speculators gain by them. Back of all doubts is the fact that the indUNtries are doing better than anybody could have expected. The output of pig iron August 1 was 180,•525 tons weekly, or 176,505 by another report, in either case close to the largest output in 1893, though surpassed by 15,000 tons in the spring of .1893. Unsold stocks are 88,078 tons smaller, the great steel companies having made heavy purchases in advance of needs, but the actual consumption is large, and prices rise in the face of the increasing output. Bessemer iron is $14.15 at Pittsburgh; plates have advanced $1 per ton, though “other prices are in some cases shaded in the east Woolen manufacturers find in their way large sales of foreign goods at prices which cause oflicial investigations. The imports were 33,600,000 pounds of cloth and dress goods in the first half of the year, agaiust 6,900,000 last year. The sales of wool, 6,313,600 •domestic and 3.379,900 foreign this month, against 12,870,650 domestic aud 1,603,500 foreign last year, and 11,869,*103 domestic and 4,566,500 foreign in 1893, indicate that domestic wool is largely held for speculation at prices about a cent higher than manufacturers feet able to pay. Few strikes in woolen mills occur, out the carpet works about Philadelphia are still idle. .Shipments of fcoots and shoes have fallen almost tplast year’s figures for August thus far, and orders are as yet scanty for the new season, but prices are firm, and leather does not change, though tanners decline to pay current quotations, 9% to 10 cents for western buff hides. Crop reports modified expectations as to cotton and wheat, and cotton speculators have bought, lifting the price five-sixteenths, while wheat, with more evidence of loss in yield, has declined IK cents. According to the government reports, the crop of each would be about two-thirds of the maximum, A third of the year’s consumption^of American cotton is still on hand, but not a third of the year’s consumption of wheat. Receipts for the week were better, but not half last year's, and iq three weeks 6,598,531 bushels, against 17,311,63s bushels last year. August earnings of railrpads thus far show. 5 per cent behind last year’s, with loss on nearly all classes. In July the full returns were 10 per cent,; and in June 15.3 per cent below those of 1892. East-bound shipments from Chicago for two weeks of August have been 89.745 tons, against 97,038 last year and 100,109 in 1893. The stdek market has been quite inactive with a trifling decline both in railroad and trust stocks ns a whole, largely influenced from day to day by iinancial rumors. Failures for the week were 196 in the United States, agaiust 239 last year, and 38 in Canada, against 45 last year.

IN CONTEMPT OF COURT. 'Two Tennessee Attorneys Engage In • , / Knockout During a Trial. Athens, Tenn., Aug1. 17.—A sensational episode, barely escaping the 1 magnitude of a tragedy, was witnessed yesterday in the circuit court. Col. T. M. Burkett and W. L. Kinser, opposing counsel in a will contest case, engaged in a knockout fight in open court, and as a result Col. Burkett will be disfigured for life. The case under con-test dates back to April last when M. D. Cone died and ‘bequeathed his entire property, valued •at $30,000, to Zesta Ware, a niece, who bad a home in his family. Mrs. Jane *Cone, his wife, was disinherited. She' at once began suit to set aside the will and it was during the progress of this case yesterday that Col. Burkett, attorney for Mrs. Cone, in his address to the court, violently arraigned the character of the defendant. Since coming into possession of the property left her. Miss Ware has married W. L. Kinser, while engaged as attorney in defending her. At the close of Burkett’s speech, Kinser advanced on his wife’s accuser and savagely assaulted him. Burkett was carried helpless out of the court room. PLEADED NOT GUILTY With Leave to Withdraw and to Enter a Demurrer. New Yohk, Aug. 17.—Henry Raabe, former warden of the Ludlow Street Jiil, ex-Keepers Edward Schneer an^ Charles Schoen, who were indicted for their connection with the escape of the three post office robbers from th» jail on July 4, were arraigned for pleading before Recorder Golf in general sessions.

Chute* It* labori and Adjourn*. Washington, Aug. 18.—Without a dissenting voice the delegates to the silver coufereuce yesterday adopted free-eoinage resolutions; appointed a provisional committee to perfect a national organization; made speeches anything hut complimentary to the administration, and adjourned sine die. The committees at work on the address and resolutions and plan of organization did not finish their labors until nooiji, after having spout the greater part of the uight in the work. The attendance in the parlors of the : Metropolitan hotel was limited only by the capacity, of the rooms. Senator Harris presided, and the hours between 10 and 12 o'clock were given over to addresses by delegates. With a single exception, the speakers were bitter in their denunciation of President Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and Senator Sherman. All the speakers were confident that the movement liad attained sueu growth ill the South and west that, | with proper missionary work in the east, the democratic national convenI tiou would name a candidate on a freesilver platform. The address was substantially that j adopted by the Texas and Mississippi conventions. The plan of organization udopted provides for a national committee of democrats, one from each state, who arc known to favor bimetallism. The executive committee, consisting of Senators Harris, Jones aud Turpie, tlov. Stone of Missouri and W. H. Hinrichscn, of Illinois, are to have the power of appoi nt ing such national committeemen. | When such committeemen are appointed, their duties in the organization of the free silver votes are clearly outlined. The resolutions demand free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at u ratio Of 10 to 1. The bimetallic idea was injected into the resolutions after their presentation to the convention, the object being to harmonize factions in the party. The executive committee began its labors as soon as the conference adjourned, mud concerted effort was agreed upon ti£ bring each section of the country under the iuiiueiice of the committee’s ministrations.

The Town of Hiudostau, Ind., Burned by InveudlarlM. 15.LOOM ING TON, Ind., Aug. 16.— Wednesday uight the town oi llindostan, just north of here, was wiped off the face of the ea$'th by tire, incendiaries got in their work, and to-day nothing remains of a beautiful hamlet but a few smoldering coals ana as lies. The fire was discovered at 1Q;30 o'clock in the rear of a grocery store and spread with lightning rapidity, The post office and ail the mail therein was destroyed. Five brick business hotiscs and eight dwellings were burned in less than au hour. The scarcity of water caused the town’s total destruction. Loss, about $30,000, with only a few hundred dollars insurance. Starvation just ahead, Desperate Situation of the Ishpeming (Mich.) Striking Miners. 4 Ishpeming, Mich., Aug. 16.—It is rumored that at least one of the big Ishpctniug mines has shipped its last* ore for 1805, aud it is believed by many that the mining companies are dot averse to having the present strike continue until the close of navigation. The ore now mined and stocked will bring fifty cents or one dollar more per ton next season than this year. There are 750,000 tons in Ishpeming stock piles, with enough in the county to bring the figures up to an even million tons. There is already much want among strikers and their families, and now that stores will sell for cash only*5 absolute starvation will face hundreds of families within a few weeks. CHARGED WITH FORGERY. Arrest of S. S. Walker, President of the •efauot Michigan Mortgage Co. 5St. Johns, Mieh., Aug. 16.—S. S.

The Michigan; Mortgage Co. failed over a year ago.de-; frauding clients all over the state.

A HUNG JURY. A Mistrial In the Cm* of Da«*trow, the Stay or of Hto Wife and Child «t St. Loots, on His Trial at Union, Ma. for tho Murder or Hts Wlfo-Tho Jury Divided on tho yaMtloe of tho Murderor*s Sanity. Union. Ma, Aug. 17.—At 10;S0 o’clock this evening the jury in the Duestrow murder case, having been out twenty-four hours without reaching an agreement, was discharged by Judge If irzel. The jury at the time of its discharge stood five for conviction and seven for acquittal. The jurors who favored conviction were James R Hulsey, Thomas Johnson, James McDermott, John 'R. Mitchell and James Woody. Those in favor of acquittal were J. Evender, P. T. Farrell, Elmer Denman. J. L. Bell, Irving Enloe, John T. Benner and James Patterson. In announcing tmfcfc they could not reach a decision the jury expressed much regret. , It appears from what the jurors say that immediately upon their retiring from the courtroom last evening they organized by electing J. W. Evender foreman. An hour later a vote was taken. Upon the first ballot seven men declared that they believed Dnestrow insane at the time of the homicide and still insane. When th^y were finally brought into court, shortly after 10 o’clock, not one had changed. Judge 11 irzel asked: “Gentlemen, have you reached a verdict?” “We have not,” replied Foreman Evender. “Do you think you can? Do you think there are any chances?” “No, sir; we have tried hard, but have been unsuccessful. I don't think we can reach a decision if we were to continue here a month. The men are all men of strong convictions.” “Well, gentlemen,” said the judge, “I’m sorry you can not come to a conclusion after all the time we have spent on this; but if yon canno^ why, you have at least done voqr duty. I don’t want to keep you locked up over Sunday, so I’ll discharge you altogether.” As soon as they were discharged, a number of those present in the courtroom crowded about them and asked [ how they stood. It had been rumored 1 all day that it was seven for conviction and five for acquittal. When it was stated that it was just exactly the opposite there was considerable surprise. Foreman Evender said the reason why they could not reach a verdict was that the men composing the jury were the most determined men in the county, and when once they had made up their minds nothing could change them. Every juror declared that he had made up his mind before any of the speeches were made, and that the time thus consumed was wasted. Attorneys Johnson and Booth at once asked Judge Hirzel when he would try the case again. He said that it would be impossible to try it at the next regular term, but that he would decide on a time soon. In the meantime he would simply se it pro forma for the September term. Attorney Johnson then asked for an order to have Duestrow returned to the St» Louis jail. At first the judge refused on the ground that it cost too much to be carrying him up and down to St. Louis, but, after some explanation, he finally made the order. It is probable, however, that Duestrow will spend several days yet in Union. As soon as Gov. Johnson could get away from the court-room he hastened over to the jail to inform Duestrow. “Well, Arthur,” said the lawyer, “the jury is discharged.” “Yes,” said Duestrow, apparently unmoved. “Yes, they disagreed, but seven were for acquittal and five only for conviction.” “Oh! a hung jury?” said Duestrow.” “Yes, but it’s in your favor.” “Then I suppose you can get me out in a couple of days no.v?” „ . “How's that?” $sked the lawyer. “Why, it’s a bailable offense now, isn’t it?” Johnson replied, evasively: “But you know there’s another indictment.” “Oh! well, this hangs up both the indictments, you know?” replied Duestrow. As he got to talking Duestrow's face lighted up and he appeared as pleased as a child. While the sentiment here continues strongly against Duestrow, the disagreement of the jury causes no excitement. The prevailing sentiment is one of regret that a verdict of some kind was not reached. Several of the jurors stated that it would have made, no difference if they had been instructed in the second degree. Every man on the jury believed either that Duestrow should be hanged, or else that he should be acquitted because of insanity at the killing.

IN CONTEMPT OF COURT. Fined and Committed nnd Threatened with Disbarment Proceedings. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 19.—Attorney William D. Beckett, who tried to assault Judge Scott a few days ago, was Saturday fined $100 and costs of prosecution and to stand committed to the county jail until the same is paid; and it is further ordered that if he does not make a public Apology on or before the September term, disbarment proceedings will be entered against him. THE OLD AND THE NEW, Exports to America from Manchester Under the Two Tariff Laws. Washington, Aug. 19.—The operations of the new tariff law, as compared with those ot the McKinley law, are shown in a report made to the state department by Consul Grinnell at Manchester, England. In the first twelve months of the Gorman-Wilson law, the exports to the United States declared from that point were $12,459,002; in the last twelve months of the McKinley law the declared exports were valued at $7,343,659.

THE STILLWELL MYSTERY. Dr. J. C. Hearn* and Wife Arr*«t*d. Charted With thn Murder of Ainon J. Stillwell, the Wealthy Pork-Packer of Hannibal, and the Former Husband at Mn. Ilenrne—Placed la Jail at Palmyra. Hannibal. Ma, Aug. 18---The Marion county grand jury yesterday afternoon returned indictments against Dr. J. C. Hearne and his wife, Fannie llearne, and they were at once arrest ed and charged* with the murder oil Amos J. Stillwell. The grand jury, which has been In session at various times during th« last thirty days investigating the Still* well murder mystery, made the report to Judge Roy, of the Hannibal court of common pleas, at 2:15 P- m. The report was a pri

rate one, and muc h excitement xvjus caused by what wua considered an ui:iusnal proceeding. ^No informa lion wins Sgiven out, however guntil the crowd'll ad j left the courthouse. ^Then Clerk Hagan ^issued a capias, and Khariff Pratt wltn

Dr. J. C. Htarn«. had left the con rtrootn with the crowd, sauntered beck as if he was simply going' to his ofl ice in that building, got the papers ».nd went to the residence of Wm. T. Perkins, less than two blocks away. There he found both Dr. Hearne lind his wife and placed them under arrest. The doctor took his arrest very quietly, but Mrs. llearne was exceedingly nervous. She has been in poor "health for a week. The arrests were the first intimation _1.1: „ tkut

indictments had been returned. Both in- . dic'tments are for* murder in the first degree. « The news soon became known over the city* and there was much excitement, although the aetion of thes grand jurj” is generally commended.

1 he prisoners were Mr*. J. (. Iftarhe. taken to Palmyr%ut a surrey by Slier iff Pratt last evening and placed in the county jail. The method of transportation was suggested by Dr. Hcarne, to avoid the crowd which might be expected to congregate at the depot. Dr. Hearnc refused to be interviewed. He said that he was through talking to newspaper men for the present. In a recent interview, how* ever, he said that he did not court an indictment, but wanted t he matter settled, as he was tired of living under the odium. On the way to Palmyra an accident occurred that put the party afoot. The night was dark and the reckless driver ran into ruts, breakingr the tongue off the vehicle and otherwise smashing it up. After calling on a number of farmers a spring tvagon was procured and the journey was continued.

Amos J. Stilhcell. R. E. Anderson, of this city, and Nat Dryden, of St. Louis, will be the attorneys for the defense. Col, Anderson was asked if habeas curpus proceedidgs would be instituted, and replied that he was unable to answer that question ujitil after he had consulted with Mr? Dryden. Dr. Hearne has repeatedly said that ho would not ask for a change pf venue if indicted, but it is supposed that an effort will be made to take the case to some other county. The court of common pleas adjourned immediately after the indictment was reported. The September term will convene September 16. It is supposed that the grand jury had considerable important evidence in*its possession that did not come to light in the depositions taken in the libel suit of Dr. Hearne vs. M. H. De Young, proprietor of the San Franeisco Chronicle. When the party arrived at the jail, Mrs. Hearne was calm and collected, while the doctor was perceptibly agitated. It was a case of the so-called weaker vessel becoming the stronger. The doctor was especially nervous when the door was unlocked to admit him for the first time to prison life. Before placing him in jail, Sheriff Pratt took Dr. Hearne to one side and searched him, but found no arms upon him. Dr. Hearne and wife took their bed clothing along with them from Hannibal, and Mrs. Todd,, in jail for the murder of her daughter, arranged a cot in** her cell for Mrs. Hearne. Soon after entering the cell, which is on the second floor, Mrs. Hearne retired for the night. If she ever should break down in this matter her first night in prison under the serious crime with which she stands charged is no index to it. Dr. Hearne’s cot for the night was placed in the corridor downstairs, with Doug Roland, in for robbery, and Peter Zimmerman, for adultery. This morning they arose early, and apparently had enjoyed a good night’s rest. They ordered their breakfas'; from the Phcnnix hotel and ate heartily in their separate cells. They will not be Dermitted to converse.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. —Popped Corn Pudding.—One pint popped c >rn; three rolled crackers; one egg; a little salt, and half a hup or more of sugar. The corn should be soaked three hours in one quart of milk, then add the other ingredients, and bake three-qharters of an hour.— City and Country. —Potato and Watercress Salad.— Slice some freshly boiled potatoes while hot, and season them with pepper, salt, oil and vinegar, very slightly, have ready some carefully-picked watercress similarly seasoned, toss them together and serve either with stoned olives forced with anchovy fillets, or spread alternately with egg and anchovy butter.—Farmers’ Review. ' Rice Cream.—Boil four ounces of rice in a pint of milk until soft, add a quarter of a pound of sugar, an ounce of dissolved gelatine, and a teaspoonful of extract of vanilla. Take from the fire, stir in half a pint of whipped cream and the beaten white of an egg. Pour in a mold, set on ice until cold, and serve with any fresh fruits in season.—Household News. —Tomato Savory.—Cut some nice, smooth-skinned tomatoes in half, lay each with the cut side upwards in a baking-tin. with a little butter. Bake till tender without allowing them to lose their shape. Scrape out some of the pulp from each piece of tomato, and set on a dish to serve. Scramble two eggs in a small saucepan with a piece of butter and a few chopped mushrooms. Season all highly with pepper and salt. Fill the holes in the tomatoes with the egg, making a little pile on the top of each. Make all very hot and serve.—Leed's Mercury. —Canned Gooseberries (green).—As these are usually canned for pies they are better sealed without sugar, that it may be added fresh at the time of using. Steam, wash and drain the gooseberries, put them in a porcelainlined kettle, bring quickly to boiling point, and can in glass jars. Ripe gooseberries should be canned as follows: Allow one-half pound of sugar to each pound of gooseberries. Put berries in kettle, cover them with sugar and let them stand one or two hours, then add one-quarter teaspoon [ powdered alum to each quart fruit. ; Stand on a. moderate fire and bring to i a boiling point. Skim and can immediately.—Mrs. Rorer, in Orange Judd Farmer. —Shad for Croquettes.—Put a pair of shad roe into boiling water with a teaspoonful of salt, and let them stand ou the lire at barely simmering point for twenty minutes. Drain them carefully in a colander, then put them in a bowl, and with a fork pull out all the fine membrane. Put half a pint of milk over the fire. Rub together one tablespoonful of butter and two of flour. Stir this into the boiling milk and stir till it thickens. Add the shad roe ifnd the yolks of two eggs. Cook them just a minute. Take from the fire and add one teaspoonful each of onion juice, lemon juice and salt, a dash of red pepper and a grating 6f nutmeg. Mix and turn out to cool. When cool form into cylinder-shaped croquettes. Dip into egg and then into bread crumbs and fry in smoking hot fat.—Boston

NEW IN SKIRTS. Great 'Width Continued, but Trimming Less in Use. Though a vast majority of skirts are untrimmed not a few of the newest creations show signs of alteration in this respect. Flounces appear on many smartly made gowns brought from Europe, and it is said that when trimmed skirts again prevail, flounces will provide the leading garniture. At present two narrow flounces, hardly more than frills, are used. Three or live rows of satin ribbon, black, white or colored— whichever the gown calls fpr—always impart a dainty finish to skirts of suitable material. , Black alpaca and black mohair skirts are immensely popular this year, these elegantly cut and hung, and lined in color matching that of the blouse bodice. Shirts of this kind have in a great degree superseded those of satin or crepon, though these latter are still worn in combination with fancy waists of evfery known color and description. Very handsome was a black mohair skirt lined with pale mauve silk, a pleated frill of the same finishing the edge on the inside. A silky surfaced black alpaca skirt was lined with pale rose-colorecP silk, a glace silk blouse bodice repeating the color, with a blurred design of violets, producing a very stylish effect The sleeves, immensely full, ended above the elbow, long suede gloves covering the lower arm. An almost incredible amount of material goes into the fashionable dress skirt, for the large flukes fall close together. It is only when the entire width of the skirt hem is revealed that any idea of the fullness and volume of these flutes is gained. Only an expeperienced modiste can cut such a skirt properly, which includes hanging it successfully. Occasionally the attempts of a “ ’prentice” hand are only too palpable. The flutes fall away from the back on each side, with a tendency to droop there, those in the immediate back, on the contrary, failing short of proportionate length by some inches. Nothing of the kind looks worse, and the amateur who aspires to dressing well would better limit her ambition or exercise her powers upon any other portion of the gown than the'skirt of the season.—N. Y. Post __ A Good Investment. Stern Father — Do you realize, young man, that up to the present time it has cost at least $200,000 to bring up and educate that girl. Fond Lover—Yes, sir, and from my point of view I should say, sir, that she is fully worth it.—Somerville Journal.
