IMPROVEMENT DISTRIBUTED ' Eves-y Branch of Business Afl’ected—Whent Crop - Will Be Much Larger Than Was Anticipated—Iron and Steel Industry Gaining. New York, Sept. 4.—R. G. Dun 8: Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Failures in August were in number not 17 per cent less than in August, 1896, but in amount of liabilities 70.8 per cent smaller. July and August show a. lowar average of liabilities per failure than has ever been known in any year or even in any quarter of the 23 years R. G. Dun & Co. have kept quarterlsr records. The improvement is also well distributed, extending to nearly every important branch of busi— ness; but inclothing, jewelry and un— classified trading only two months of the past 47 have shown smaller fail- ures, in general stores and furniture only three; in groceries, hats and iron manufacture only four; in hat and chémi‘Cal manufacture only five, and in clothing manufacture only six months of the 47. The ratio of defaulted lia— bilities to payments through clearing houses has also been smaller in July and August than in any other month since the spring of 1893. August was the first month in which the daily average of settlements through clearing houses exceeded materially that of the corresponding month of 1892, the excess at the principal cities being 12.3 per cent. Nor is this due, as might be supposed, to activity in stock for the Stock Exchange clearing house now disposes of a. very large share of transactions, so that-they affect bank exchanges far less than five years ago. The volume of business here has been distinctly larger in other than 5 speculative lines than it was then and -in textile goods phenomenally large, Ithough slackening this week, buyers :having nearly completed their initial ~a purchases. 2 movement in grain, heavy real estate With an extraordinary and building transactions and increas- ed business in iron products, the month was clearly the busiest August ever known. Wheat, Cotton, Etc. Wheat continued its reaction until it had fallen 4 cents more, but then rose 4 cents with the first revival of foreign buying. Western receipts are very large, though not quite as large as a year ago, but Atlantic exports, flour in- cluded, rose to 5,534,758 bushels for the week, against 2,175,453 last year. The estimates which command confidence I still indicate a yield of 550,000,000 to 580,000,000 bushels, winter wheat turning out so much beyond expectations as to balance much of the loss in spring wheat. Cotton speculation made August de- liveries ‘costly, spot rising to 81/4 cents, but the market then drifted back quick- ly to 7.81 cents. Conflicting news doubt- less reflects conflicting facts, but the opinion gains that the crop will be large, it by lateness not exposed to se- rious injury. The crop of 1896, accord- ing to the New Orleans Cotton Ex- change, was 8,757,964 bales, which may be profitably‘compared with predictions current 8 and 12 months ago. The mills are turning out great quantities of goods in response to heavy purchases recently made. Wool sells largely be- tween speculators, 16,568,500 pounds for the week, making reported sales in four months since May 1, 19,069,030 pounds, of which 102,782,445 were foreign. But when the mills were busy in 1892 sales in the four months were but 111,620,302 pounds. The improvement in the iron and steel industry gains momentum. The demand increases for sheets and plates, especially for bridge and ship building, including 10,000 tons at Philadelphia; in structural work, of which it is said that 20,000 tons have been placed at Chicago. and in bars, and especialy in wire and wire nails, and all have advanced an average of $1 per ton. Southern and western dealers have united to advance prices of pig 25 cents, bessemer at Pittsburg has risen 10' cents and east- ern markets are stronger. The demand for cars is pressing and work for rail— ways increases. . Loan Rates Stronger. Money has begun to go largely to the west and south, $4,000,000~ret for the week, which has somewhat checked commercial loans. Rates were stronger, in part because British and Indian. oper- ations foreshadow changes in foreign markets which may proveimportant. A low record- for silver has been made, and the impoverished condition of India and the costs of the rebellion may yet have consequences affecting European markets. As cotton bills are late this year, the course of foreign exchange looks less like speedy imports of gold 4 than some weeks ago, but merchandise exports from New York for four weeks have been 22.5 per centlarger than last year, and imports here 16.3 per cent smaller, implyinga ,rnerchandise bal- ance much greater than any movement of; securities can have settled. Failures for the past week have been 191 in the United States against .334 last year and 25 in Canada against 31.!ast year. United States Car Company Resolver-ship. Cincinnati, Sept. 4.—On an auxiliary application United States Circuit Court ,Judge Taft approved the appointment offW. C. Lane and T. McGee as re- ceivers of the United States Car com- pany.

Wellsboro, .,Pa., Sept. 4.—The large sawmill at Marsh Creek on the Pine Creek railway, owned by E. Matson & Son, was burned today with all the lum- ber in the yards. The, loss is about $20,- 000, with an insurance of only $3,000 on the property. It is supposed that the fire started from a spark in the mill. Armenians Sentenced to Death.

How carefully mother guards the se- crets of her boys and girls. At night as she carefully tucks the bed cloths round them she chides and warns that mother will be angry if they repeat last night’s offense, softly saying to her- self it’s only a habit. but I_ must break them of it. This is mother’s ‘i'nistake. The children cannot help it, and sweet, clean dry beds can be the resting place of every child when it is understood. that the cause is not a. habit but a weak- ness that can be cured. Active life of the little ones tends to weakening the kidneys and weak kidneys mean ina- bility to retain the urine. This is a. condition not a habit. and should have the same prompt attention you would give to the marked ' symptOms of any disease. One Dean ’3 Kidney pill, taken twice a day and at bedtime, will strengthen the kidneys of a. child, and in a. short time there will be no cause to scold, for the so-called habit will disappear promptly. 'Here’sa grateful mother that adds her endorsement to our words. Mrs. William Wood who lives at 130 Colony street, Meriden, Conn., says: “My little boy of ten years of age has always been troubled with weakness of the kidneys, causing him to wet the bed. So many mothers punish their children for this, but I know he could not help it. I read about Doan’s Kid- ney Pills curing incontinence of urine in adults and I thought they might help the little fellow. I procured a. box and their use produced a. marked benefit at once. It is very seldom he does it now and I shall continue giving him Doan’s Kidney Pills until the kid- neys are sound and strong. It is only out of gratitude that I permit publica- tion, but the trouble is a. very preva- lent one and most people from modesty or diflidence do not speak of it. , Physi- cians do not appear to be able to cope with the. trouble and I consider it a mother’s duty to tell others about it when she has found a specific for this terrible annoyance.” Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6 boxes for $2.50.

WIFE’S RINGS IDENTIFIED; They Form the Strongest Link In the . State’s Chain of Evidence—An Enor- mous Crowd '1'qu Away From the courthouse Again. Chicago, Sept. 4.—The number of per- sons striving to be present at the Luet- gert murder trial today was so great that a new method of handling the crowds had to be adopted. The third floor of the big stone building in which the courtroom is situated was aban— doned as a stopping place for the pas- senger elevators. Stops weremade at the second and fourth floors, and guards stationed in the stairways between those floors and the third or courtroom floor turned back everybody who was not in some way connected with the case. The cross examination of Police Cap- tain Schuetler was resumed where it. left off yesterday. Attorney Vincent for the defense asked to have stricken from the case. the captain’s statement that he did not go to New York to find out whether Mrs. Luetgert had been seen there alive, but to look up the rep- utation of Grotty, the man who said he had met her on Broadway. Attor- ney Vincent said the statement was prejudicial. The court refused to~sus~ tain the motion, and Captain Schuetler told of his trip to New York and his in- vestigation of Grotty's reputation. He said the state wanted to be prepared to prove he was a perjurer if he appeared in the case as avwitness for the defense. Captain Schuetler was asked about the visit of Attorney Vincent to the East Chicago Avenue police station on the day of Luetgert’s arrest, but ihe state put in an objection. Mr. Vincent“ stated to the court that he expected to prove by Luetgert that when he was arrested Inspector Schaack refused to permit any person to see him until the next day. The attorney said he was not allowed to see him and was com- pelled to begin a habeas corpus pro- ceeding. Judge Tuthill refused to ad- mit any evidence regarding the matte". “Inspector Schaack is not on trial here,” said the court. Luetgert’s Falsehood. Captain Schuetler was excused, and Police Lieutenant George Hutchinson was called. This witness corroborated the testimony of Captain Schuetler as. to the visit made by him and Schuetle: on May 8 to Luetgert at the latrer’r. home to secure from him a. statemen: regarding the disappearance of his wife. He said Luetgert stated he had hired no detectives to look for his wife, al- though he had previously told'Bicknesc that he had engaged two private detect- 1ves. Officer Walter S. Dean of the Shef- field station introduced the subject of the rings found in the vat in the sau— sage factory. It was Ofiicer Dean who found the two gold rings in the middle of the vat in which it is charged Mrs. Luetgert’s body was dissolved in caus- tic potash. The officer.told of the ex- amination of the vat and the discovery of the trinkets in the same manner it had been related ‘by other witnesses. He was followed by Mrs. Ida. Harris, who was the first of a. series of wit- nesses who identified the rings as hav- ing been worn by Mrs. Luetgert. litre. Harris said she had known Mrs. Luet- gert for seven years and had often vis- ited her at her home. She was positive that the large gold band, with the ini- tials “L. L.” and the mark "18k” in the inside was Mrs. Luetgert’s wedding ring. About five years ago, she said. while sitting with Mrs. Luetgert in hrs: kitchen, the sausage maker’s wife took off her rings and showed them to her. The smaller ring was worn as a guard to keep the Wedding ring on the finger. The guard ring had milled edges, but the milling was more distinct five years ago than it is now. The witness could not tell me when she had last seen the rings on the hand of Mrs. Luetgert. On cross examination 'Mrs. Harris East Chicago Avenue police station aft- er the arrest of Luetgert she remem- bered that the initials “‘L. L.” were in the wedding ring in German script. She said that she‘ had never seen a large ring with a cameo in it on Mrs. Luet- gert’s hand. She was asked if Mrs. Luetgert did not wear a large gold ring with: a. chain and heart attached. She said shehad never seen it. Those Telltale Rings. Mrs. Sophie Tuohy was another ring witness. She identified the rings, which, shesaid, Mrs. Luetgert had worn for years; From her oWn finger she took a small guard ring somewhat resembling that found in the vat- She said she had bought it near North avenue. She bought this ring. she said, on the advice of Mrs. Luet— gert, who recommended her to the jew- eler, Attorney Vincent objected to this testimony, and the objection was sustained by the court. Mrs. Tuohy said she had a. conversa— tion with Luetgert‘ on May 8 regarding the disappearance of his wife. He told her he had paid $20 to two private de- tectives, and had ”told! them there. was more moneytor them if they needed It. Luetgert'sald'his wife did'not haVe much love‘ fer" her .children. ' He also said her brother Bicke'n‘e‘se was angry because the disappearance Was not re- ported to the police, but Bickenese did. wrong in getting angry. ‘ ‘ Mrs. Aluina 'Stan’gerf was the last witness before the court adjourned. She identified the rings, as the previous witnesses had. ‘ ‘ The Elder-kin Sensation Exploded. Chicago, Sept. 4.—The sensation caused by the disappearance of Lien- tenant Colonel William A.
