Before' the opening of the trial on Tuesday District Attorney Martin made the rather startling announcement that he desired to nolle pros the cases against; 14 deputies. The district at torney explained that the common wealth had found that these men were not present at the scene of the shoot ing; that it was useless to try them, and that their remaining on the list of indicted would only complicate matters. The court erranted the motion., and this left 63 men, including the sheriff, to stand trial. " - , . In his opening address on Thursday Attorney. McGahren for the prosecu tion, ".asserted that it would be proven that the deputies had threatened the lives of the strikers. John Siva "w as the first witness. The defense endeavored to show that this witness had been engaged in terror--izing men to join the strikers; but Siva made a good .witness for the prosec tiom - r . John Mahala, the chosen leader of the Harwood strikers, testified to his reading the instructions issued by the national -union to avoid"' violence- or disorder. He detailed "the unwarranted interference with the strikers, arid the shooting; without warning. Rev. Richard Aust, who conducted the funeral services of many of the " victims, could not describe the nature of the wounds received.' Rev. Carl Hauser testified that he had examined -severai of the wounded. and all were shot in the side or back.

' On Saturday there 'was a Controver sy between the opposing counsel regard-r ing bail. The defendants' bail expired in November last. , but through inad vertinence was not renewed. Mr. XJar man insisted that bail should be re newed immediately :or the defendan's committed to jail. Judge Woodward, however, allowed the defendants until today to furnish biiT. Michael Nicholson was the first wit ness on Saturday. He testified, among other things, that when he denounced the sheeting as a scandalous piece of work Deputy Alfred Hess said tfo him: "You shui up, or I'll treat you the same 'S.vaj'."

They lined up by the side of. the road, with rifles ready. Soon the strikers . appeared, marching in a quiet and orderly man ner. They were halted by the sheriff. He did not hear the sheriff say anything or see him read any paper. One of the deputies started to advance alone, when another shouted: "If you don't come back -:.we will shoot you, " too." -The man jumped back, and almost im mediately came a shot, then twro others, and then a volley. The strikers started and ran in all directions, but 16 fell within a few feet. He "saw one man shot while running a hundred yards frpm the road. He assisted several of the wounded to the schoolhouse and dressed their wounds. ' On Friday Schoolmaster Guscott completed his testifhony and identified a number of the strikers.' Dr. H. M.

According to an article in The Ledger some of the creditors of the failed Chestnut Street tank and the. trust company show an aggressive disposition; and this spirit may soon makeitself practically felt. These creditors assert that the gentle men in charge of the bankrupt corpora tions are not frank enough in impart ing information. One gentleman sa'.d; It was 3 fatal error to have the bank and trust company under one roof and practically under one management, and yet in the final arrangement we see one of the assignees of the trust company made rec elycr for the bank, which would i. indicate s. mething mutual ia their respective settlements. Tne in terests of the depositors, which were so long ignored by the officers an. I direc tors 06 these two concerns, appear to be' still the-thing least thought of by some of thr.se who want to exercise a controlling voice in tlie mattei . "The pace set by ex-Comptroller Eckels, who either did not. examine .the periodical sworn reports' which the bank submitted, or else presuming them to have been - honet ignored tl.eir warring features, has ; been faith fully" followed to an extent that leaves the Erer.eral depositor, whose claims should be paramount, far in the rear "Under the nlan of settlement, for whose acceptance the most strenuous efforts were made, the city would have be?n taken care- of because, it was made a preferred creditor to the Wtent of its claims. ' Why the city should I"? made a preferred creditor, rather than a lJt of poor depositors, whose entire hold ings were, perhaps, swallowed in the failure' I cannot see. arny inore' than I could perceive why we should acqui esce in a' proposition that gave the as signees practically unlimited disent tion to issue, if they cared' to. $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 in. stock,-in a company which might not prove profitable on half that sum." - - Another gentleman, a business man of excellent standing, said: 'If Mr. Earle wants to secure a continuance of the silent forbearance that has thus far . characterized the depositors he would do well to get down to a . plain business methods of treating tjiem They h?.ve been treated lik'e a lot of c' ildren. in . my judgment, instead of those whose rights should b$ considered ahead of any others. A few persons may h-ve, in a confidential way, a knowledge of the real situation what there has been lost in this tremendous failure, and what there is to nay it with but there has been no informa .tion in it. From Mr. Eckels down we have had adnion:tions to the general ef fect that the best thing to be done was to do as we were told, and ask no ques tions. ' ' "They even went so far as to delicate ly threaten, and not very - delicately efther, that those who declined to yield assent to the plan would be publicly exposed as some sort of marplots or malcontents T have seen noihms; about exposing Mr. Ecke's. who as comp troller must have deliberately closed his eyes at a time when the bank .depositors-had a right to believe he had them honestly-open, especially when the bank was declaring dividends, one as late as November last. Some few persons, have "-learned, in, a quief way, just how tpese two con cerns were wrecked, with resu.tant losses, I am;informed, of about $6,000,- 000'; but I think it is high time that there should be definite and omcialjn- formation openly given out "overing the whole ground. I can understand how ' each creditor, fearing that he would be regarded as- vindiet've or anxious to air his grievance at the ex pense of the general body of creditors. hesitated to speak out heretoi re, out I see no marked; indication of a change from the policy of sirnpiy advising the depositors what to do. and I . know there 'are a good many who have ar rived at the conclusion that their feel ings and their interests sljould also be considered."

Albany, Feb. 7. The annual report of State Engineer Adams devotes much space to the subject of the commerce of the state, Elaborate tables have been compiled from, the records of the general government and other sources- dating back 200 years, giving the values of the trade between trie several Amer ican colonies and Great Britain up to the beginning of the revolutionary war. and after that time and up to date the values of exports from the leading At lantic and gulf states. Mr. Adams says" that the port of New York, which, a third of a century ago, commanded 73 per cent of the total ex ports of the nation, today commands but 37 per cent of them. Statistics pre sented show that New York's foreign onmmerce has never been so low as last year J-hiee 1850. .-' It is in her exports that New York's commercial losses have occurred. In import she almost holds her own, at two-thirds of the nation's total.. In ex ports she has fallen fronh."two-thirds to a little more -than 'ori?-third' of the whole. From TSfiO to 1897- the nation's foreign commerce jndjased $300,000,000 in value " During thVt time New York's increased $20,000,000, Boston's $63,000,000, Galveston's $29;000.f0 and New Orleans' $17,000,000. ,. r These and similar tbnely and telling statistics in Mr. Adams; report show- that the problem off retaining New York's commercial prestige is a grave and pressing one. proved digestion w ith increasiid avoir dupois. ; . . .
