A Former Cowboy’s I‘Vif‘c Deserts
Him For 3. Railroad Conductor. .
OMAHA, Nell, Dec. flu—Paul Clanlan,‘ a
cowboy, residing fat Rushville, Neb., sev-
eral weeks ago received notice of a large
inheritance front ti Philadelphia uncle.
He and his wife started for Philadelphia,
but stopped inOmaha to buy some new
clothing. This was Dec. 20. That night
Mrs.‘ Clanlan eloped to Chicago with a
Rock Island conductor. She was located
at the Palmer house and returned by a
detective Wednesday night. and her hus-
band made peace with her. His money
was all gone by this time, and a despatch
was sent to Philadelphia. asking for $800
more, and it was promptly received. ~\\'ed-
nesday night the couple retired as usual,
with everything as merry as a marriage
bell. During the night the woman arose
and relieved her husband, not only of the
money, but all the papers of identification
which he had to establish his relationship
to the estate due him. Mr. Clanlan has
reported the matter to the police and de-
sires assistance in locating the woman.
He says that he will shoot her on sight and
send a bullet through his own brain rather
than efi’ect another reconciliation or face
the shame and disgrace incidental to an
exposure.

The Business Situation Still
Greatly Depressed.
Restriction in Industrial Lines as $0-

- NEW YORK, Dec. 30.——An absolute de-
cline in the volume of general trade this
week, the week in the year in which (lull-
ness in Wholesale circles is most conspicu~
ous merely emphasizes, conditions previ-
ously reported. Stock—taking calls for
considerable attention on the part of
many who might otherwise be on the road.
t'ith f v exceptions holiday trade has
been (1 sappointing. Restriction of pro-
ductionin ' dustrial lines continues as
severe as he 'tofore noted, the tendency
being to a. ~ to rather than subtract
from the to “number of wage-earners
in enforced ness throughout the coun-
try. In the more important lines of
manufacture '6! textiles and metals re-
strictions of Output within the past six
months have ranged from 25 to 45 per
cent., the larger share of which is still
maintained. Augusta, (311., cotton mills,
fully employed during the year, have- re-

What will doubtless be known as the
“panic year 1893” has brought with it, as
was to be expected, the largest number of
business failures ever recorded in the
United States since records of the same
have been kept, the total as reported to
Bradstreet’s amounting to 15,560, an in-
crease of more than 50 per cent. from the
year before, while the total liabilities are
$02,400,000, an increase of nearly 400 per
cent over the year before. The com-
mercial death rate throughout the coun-
try has jumped from 1 in 100 in 1892 to 1
1-2 in 100 in the past year. These totals
do not include ntore than 240 banks com-
pelled to suspend with an aggregate of
about $80,000,000 liabilities and assets
fully 25 per cent. in excess of that sum.
Bank clearings reported at cities through-
out the United States for the past twelve
months aggregate approximately: $53,420,-
901,000, about 12.5 per cent. less than in
1892, 4.5 less than in 1891 and 11 per cent.
less than in 1890. The week’s clearings
aggregate $777,984,000, or 18 per cent. less
than in the week before and 20 per cent.
Loss in the week last year.
Exports of wheat and of flour as wheat
from both coasts of the United States and
Canada amount to 2,000,000 bushels this
week, a total one-quarter less than in the
week before, and one-third smaller than
in the closing week a year ago and two
years ago.
The New York stock market is nervous
in tone on the recent railroad receiver-
ships, coupled with uncertainty as to the
condition of speculation and business after
the turn of the year. The heavy selling of
stocks by professional bears occasions cov-
ering of shorts and tends to sustain val-
ues. The Atchison receivership has an
unfavorable influence in view of the prob-
able assessment of the stock.
At Boston general business is dull and
of a hand-to-niouth character. Shoe pro-
duction has been off 30 per cent, but
stocks throughout the country are low.
There is no improvement in business at
Providence, manufacturers of hardware
and machinery continuing to run on part
time. 'At Philadelphia wool manufac—
turers are doing very little, with no im-
provement in prospect. Four-fifths of the
employes of. the leather factories there are
idle, and dullness reigns in petroleum,
lumber, tobacco and iron. Orders for
spring delivery at Baltimore are of smaller
volume than usual, and the outlook is not
as favorable as anticipated. Distribution
of merchandise from Pittsburg shows a
large falling oil” compared with last year,
and consumers continue to buy sparingly.
Lack of improvement in iron and steel
posit-pence improvement- in the business
situation. Buffalo reports the volume of
groceries distributed equal to that in 1802,
but in hardware and other leading lines
business is unusually slow, and no gain is
looked for during the next.- sixty days.
There is no improvement in trade circles
at Charleston or Memphis. AtAugusta
the relative prosperity of the cotton mills
raises the condition of general trade above
the average. At.- Atlanta few purchases
are being made, and old supplies have
been largely disposed of. Stock—taking
and dullness in general trade rule. In-
dustrial and commercial lines at (Eleve-
land are as dull as heretofore. which is
true at Cincinnati. Businessis fair at De-
troit, except where sales are checked by
ndianapolis, where no activity is expected
-, ntil'after January 10. Dullness prevails
't Louisville, and at Chicago there is a
,turthcr falling off in volume in almost all
lines, the reduction for the year being
about 18 per cent. In dry goods the fall-
ing off is 10 per cent, due to shrinkage in
Value: in clothing 20 per cent, jewelry and
machinery ‘25 per cent, and shoes 12 per
cent. Gains in the early part of the year
are more than otl'sct in the bitter portion,
losses from bad debts cutting a considera-
ble figure.

Will Obey No Decision Other Than
From the Supreme Court—Accuses
County Officers of Being in 001-
lusicin With the Duval Club.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. BO—Gov.
Mitchell has hurled another bomb at the
Duval athletic club, the promoter of the
proposed mill between Corbett and Mit-
The story goes that the govornor
is exceedingly wroth at the course. of. the
Duval county judicial officials in arrest-
ing Corbett and Mitchell. It is said that
the governor has been keeping. " .8 wires
‘iiot roasting the solicitor of the
county for his action in the matter,
charging that he and all the judicial offi-
tors of this county are in collusion with
the Duval athlectic club and are abetting '
the club’s efforts to pull off the match,
Ind that the arrests and proposed test of
the law are not in good faith. The gover-
nor, it is asserted, reiterates that the pro-
posed fight is in violation of the laws of
the state and declares that it shall not
come 03 unless ' the supreme court de—
cides that such contests are legal.
Governor Mitchell was once on the su—
premo bench, and it is believed that the
opinion of Attorney—General Lamar, that
the proposed fight would be illegal, was
prepared after a consultation with the
governor and members of the supreme
court as to the law in the case.
It is significant in this connection that
Governor Mitchell says no decision, save
that of the supreme court, will deter him
from his cfiorts to stop the fight. Those
close to the governor believe that this dec—
laration means‘that he knows that the de-
