' NEW YORK. Aug. 3.— R. G. Dun 85 Co.’s review of trade says: Improvement in markets and prices continues, and whereas a. few months ago everybody was nursing the faintest hopes .of recovery it has now come to be the only question in What branches, if any, the rise in prices and the increase of business may go too far. A strong conservative feeling is finding expression, not as yet controlling the markets or industries, but warning against too rapid expansion and rise. In somedirections the advance in prices clearly checks future business. But encouraging features have great power. Exports of gold continue, but are met by syndicate deposits and are expected to cease soon. Anxieties about the mone- tary future no longer hinder. Crop pros- pects, except for cotton, have somewhat improved during the week. Important steps toward reorganization of great rail- roads give hope to investors. Labor troubles are for the moment less threaten- ing, and some of importance have been definitely settled. The industries are not only doing better than anybody had ex- pected, but are counting upOn a great business for the rest of the year. The advance in prices of iron and its produpts has added about $2 per ton more in a single week to the price of bessemer iron at Pittsburg, and yet the great steel companies are buying wherever they can, while the air is full of reports that this or that finished product will further ad- vance. Many of the ablest men deplore this rapid rise and note that it may ex- pose some branches to foreign competition and urge that consumers begin to hesi- tate. But the various combinations which now control many iron products have so successfully lifted prices thus far ’ that the markets seem to lack thé‘ re~ straint of individual caution, and mean- while holders of large quantities purchased for future sale or delivery want to get all they can for them. Since the speculative spirit and the power of combinations pushed up prices of hides, leather and shoes, the demand has distinctly declined, at least for the pres- ent. and. many works are out of orders, while few are now receiving enough to support a full production. Leather and hides are firmly held at top prices. Wool has been speculatively hoisted, so that sales have fallen below last year’s. Cotton’s Remarkable Vitality. The prospect for wheat has hardly im- proved this week, though the price has fallen 1% cents. Western receipts have decidedly increased, but are only 3,905,905 bushels against 0,428,294 last year, and Atlantic exports are only 1,373,356 for the week, flour included, against 3,271,118 last year. Cotton is rising as if there were no sur« plus of 3,000,000 bales AmeriCan carried over to the new crop year, which begins with next week. Whether exaggerated or not, reports of injury have impressed traders, and purchases in three days here amounted to 955,800 bales. But if the yield is as short as buyers believe it is not a. good si 11 for business at the south, since the abundance of old cotton in for- eign markets must hinder experts at high prices during the very months in which planters are forced to sell most of their product. ‘ The volume of domestic trade is but slightly better than in previous weeks, exceeding last year’s by 18.8 per cent against 16.3 for earlier weeks of the month, and falling 8.1 per cent below, 1892, against 9.1 in earlier weeks. Rail- road earnings in August have been hardly .3 per cent larger than last year, but 16.3 per cent smaller than in 1892, the loss on grangers and southwestern roads being large. Stocks rose‘ an average of $1 per share for railroads, but with indications of heavy realizing on Thursday have closed with a gain of only 90 cents for railroads and 91 cents for trusts. Failures, for the week have been 186 in the United States against 196 last year and 42 in Canada against '40 last year. Has Not Bought Southern Iron. PITTSBURG, Aug. 31.—Thc report tele- graphed from Birmingham, Ala.., and New York that the Carnegie Steel com- pany had purchased 25,000 tons of south- ern pig iron for use in the basic open hearth steel plant is denied by Secretary F.

ZBLLA AND GEORGE GOULD. The Nicolnus Woman’s Case Against the Millionaire Put Over Until October. NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—-—The case of Zella Nicolaus Ruhman against George J. Gould came up before Supreme Court Judge Lippincott in the Hudson county court, Jersey City, today on a motion to amend the original complaint. Zella wants to recover that famous $40, 000 check which George Gould is al- leged to have taken from her by force. In her original complaint Zella ,stated that she was a. resident of New Jersey, and . ZELLA NICOLAUS. that the check was taken from her while she was in Jersey City. The complaint States that efforts were made to recover the check, but Gould would not give it up. Zella swore that she was under age, and Lawyer Alexander Simpson of J crscy City was appointed her guardian. Through him she brings the suit. He is also one of her counsel in the case. Lawyer Simpson and ex-Judge William T. Hofi'man were present in court when the case came up today. The motion was made by ex-Judge Hoffman. He asked the permission of the court to amend the complaint so as to include a charge of as- sault. Lawyer D. A. Lindabury of Elizabeth of counsel for Mr. Gould was present in court, but he made no move against the motion. Judge Lippincott then granted the motion to include the charge of as- sault in the case. Lawyer Simpson then started fixing the original papers in the case so as to include the admission of the case of assault in them. The alleged case of assault took place in April, 1893, in the defendant’s office in the Western Union building on Broadway. Zella alleges that Mr. Gould assaulted her so that for a time her life was despaired of. After the papers had. been fixed up Lawyer Lindabury, on behalf of Mr. Gould, asked that the usual 30 days be given him so as to put in his answer to the additional complaints. This, was granted him. , The Colorado Mining Horror. CENTRAL CITY, Colo, Aug. 31.-——Twen- ty-nine men were working in the Sleepy Hollow and Americus mines when last night's disaster occurred.

NEW YORK, Aug. ei—An attempt was made today by a woman to 'jump from.’ the Brooklyn bridgc,fand had it not been for the vigilance of Fthe police her plans would probably havfebeen' carried out. The woman is Mia Clara McArthur of 162 East One Hun'di'ed and Twenty-sev- enth street. She is :fi‘either an acrobat, an aeronaut, an actress; nor a swimmer. .In fact, she cannot surmise; troke. 'Among without anything to distinguish her from thousands of other women in the city. All of the arrangements for the jump were made by her husband, John McAr- thur. He is a railroad man, but at present is out of employment. This was his main reason for planning the jump. He told his wife that she could get $100 a weekto exhibit herself in a dime museum, and she soon became enthusiastic to leap into the East river and gain fame and fortune at the same time. The plans were that she ,was to ride across the bridge in a carriage and make the jump from the second lamppost cast of the New York tower on the east bound roadway. ' At 4 o’clock this mOrning Mrs. McAr- thur, her husband and two of his friends, who are also railroad men, drove from their home in Harlem. _ Mrs. McArthur also had with her her little child, a girl about 5 years old, “131110 was to remain in the carriage and se or mother make the leap. , The Inevitable Batters. 'A number of sporting Ifiiorters had been told of the contemplated leap- and met the party at Thirty-fourth street and Third avenue at. 4:30 o’clock. One of them saw the child and determined to prevent the jump. He argued with the woman and her husband, but neither would deviate from the original intention. _ During the argu : ent Mrs. McArthur made a. great displayiof foolhardypluck. “Come,” she said. ~v“I am in a. hurry. I want to jump and nobody can stop me." fled. Patrolman were distributed all along the roadway, 50 feet apart, across the part of the bridge that spans the river. _ As the carriage drove on the bridge word was telephoned that the would be jumper had started. . McArthur and his friends had decided to use the code of hand signals common among railroad men as a means of com« munication. One man was on the promenade to sig- nal McArthur that everything was all right or that there was danger. The other wont to the Dover street dock to signal Jack Smith, formerly a. well known boxer, who was out in a. small boat under the bridge, that the carriage had started. McArthur had taken the driver’s seat on the coach. As he approached the tower he saw the row of policemen awaiting his arrival. The men on the promenade gave the danger signal. McArthur saw that his plans were frustrated. He whipped up the horses and drove through the gantlet of bluecoats at a rapid pace. The Jump Abandoned. Sergeant Hayes and Roundsman Wig- gins ran after the carriage and followed it to Brooklyn. McArthur had apparently abandoned the idea, for he did not return. > The man in the small boat under the bridge waited an hour.for the woman to jump and then rowed ashore. Mrs. McArthur had made elaborate preparations for her leap. She wore a. tight fitting wrapper, which covered a suit of black tights. She carried a half pound shot in each shoe and had a life prescrver strapped around her chest. She "also were two small balloons under her armpits to act as buoys when she struck the water. Her head was covered with an out of date straw hat. Se was to discard the wrapper in the carriage before climbing up the rail to make the leap. Whether or not the woman would have faltered at the critical moment is not known, but the police are inclined to the belief that her nerve would have deserted her at the‘last minute. Thoughts of her little child might have induced her to weaken. . Mrs. McArthur is about 5 feet 2 inches in height and weighs 140 pounds. She has black hair and dark eyes. She- is 27 years old. None of the party was ar- rested. ‘ Died From Snake Bites. SULLIVAN, Mo., Aug. 31.—Three chil- dren named Jenkins went to gather eggs. One child thrust its hand into what it supposed’ was the hen’s nest and quickly withdrew it, exclaiming that the hen had peeked its hand. A rattlesnake had bit- ten it. The other two children put in their hands with the same result. The mother was at the Well With her infant and ran to the children. The infant fell into the ‘well and was drowned. The three others died soon afterward. The Bertha's Valuable Cargo.
