$30,000,000 that it has collected in duties'

suit of Meyer He Dickenson was a test

of the Government to collect duties on

of the omission in the act ot March 3d,

and was first brought before the court
in this jurisdiction on April 6th, JS86,

found in favor of the plaintiff and Judge

the West and Northwest he had msde
the acquaintance of a Mr. William H.'
Cowen, a travelling man for the Chica
go Lumber Co., and, both being In the
same business, they travelled in com
pany. Arriving at Akron, Ohio, on
the 14th inst, they put up- at the Em
pire House, occupying the-same room.
At about 1 o'clock on. the' morning of
the 15th, a pistol shot was heard and in
a moment or' two a voice shouted,
'come, Mr. Byant," (the keeper of the
hotel) "he's shot himself!" The pro
prietor and others rushed to the room
occupied by Cowen and Cutts, and upon
lighting the gas a ghostly spectacle
was presented to their yiew. Cowen
Was lying In a doubled up position with
head resting against a wash stand, and
feet stretched out, with blood and
brains oozing from a bullet hole In his
head. Close by lay a 38 calibre revol
ver. "
When the throng entered the room
Cutts was dressing himself. He at once
stated that the pistol was his property,
and that it had been taken from under
his pillow. His statement went to
show that Coweu had given evidence
of mental aberration on one or two oc
casions, as If fearing that some one
would do him bodily narm. Cowen saw
Cutts when the latter took the pistol
with some valuables from his satchel
and placed them under the pillow.
Cutts was partially awake when Cowen
took the pistol, and asked, "What do.
you want?" Cowen replied,' "Those
fellows are after me and I want your re
volver." Cutts, half asleep, let him
take It, and dropping off Into a sound
sleep, knew no more until he was
suddenly awakened by the pistol shot,
about an hour after.
Mr. Cutts was at once placed under
arrest on suspicion and was held until
exonerated by the verdict of the coro
ner's jury. The evidence and the facts
showed that Mr. Cowen deliberately
committed suicide. His son went to
Akron from Chicago and he stated that
his father at times suffered from mental
trouble.
Our friend Charlie was for the time
in an unenviable position, and while
none of his many friends in Wilming
ton would for a moment believe that
he would be capable of committing an
act like that for which he was arrest
ed, we nevertheless rejoice that his
vindication was so speedy and abso
lute. ' '

Crop Reports Favorable Trade Com
paratively Small Improvements .
In Demand In Several Impor
tant Trade-Credits More
Cautiously Given.
. New YORK, June 19. Dun's weekly
report says: Business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
week number, for the United States,
224; Canada, 29; total, 253, against 244
last week.
While crop reports continue remark
ably favorable, the volume of business
at present trade centres is not as large
as it has been in other years at this
time. This is, in fact, because the ex
ceptionally hot weather at many
points had Induced something like
the midsummer dullness, but the more
important. cause undoubtedly Is that
trade In many branches has been wait
ing for a certainty In Improvement
and definite orders before undertaking
new risks. There is also some hesita
tion owing to recent failures, particu
larly in Philadelphia.
Credits have been more cautiously
given in woolen and boot and shoo
trades, and this has lessened the vol
ume of transactions. Hence, it is en
couraging to find that there is an ac
tual improvement in the demand for
consumption in several more import
ant trades and that manufacturers al
ready begin to feel the effects.
Crop prospects have Improved during
the past week, particularly in Southern
and Northwestern regions, where there
has been lack of rain and there is now
scarcely a single commercial centre
from which crop reports are not highly
favorable.
Business Is improved at Louisville,
decidedly so at Montgomery and
slightly at New Orleans. Trade is
small at Memphis, (but crop prospects
are good) dull at Nashville, be iter than
usual for the season at Atlanta, and
much better than last year at Jackson
ville. Reports from all quarters indi
cate little complaint as to collections.
Regarding money reports show almost
everywhere an ample supply for legit
imate and sate business, but it is fre-i
quently mentioned that there is no
supply for speculation and at St. Louis
the market was stiller at 7 per cent,
at Kansas City firm at 8 to 10 per cent
and at Detroit strong at 7 per cent,
rather stronger at Cleveland, Ugh, at
Little Rock and Atlanta, close at
Naehville and In good demand with
firm rates at New Orleans. From all
other points reports indicate compara
tive ease It is another hopeful indi
cation thsU the demand for manufac
tured lriji and steel improves. For
structdrMj:on there Is a rush of orders
because ahe collapse of building strik
ers, and makers of sheet iron are some
what ..puzzled, though bar iron is
only fafrfy active, but plates are In
good demand. The wool market at
New, York shows improvement and
larger demand by manufacturers.
