Failures.New York, May 3.\u2014 Special telegrams to Bradsireets indicate that the volume of general trade bas been checked at nearly every city of special commercial importance during the week.At the larger eastern centers the New York centennial celebration was largely responsible.But \u2018St.Louis, Kansas City and St.Joseph and New Orleans report less activity in demand and distribution for both season- -able goods and staples.Savannah, St.Paul and Chicago have enjoyed a moderate activity.Cold weather has checked demand in regions tributary to Cleveland, Louisville and St.Louis.Another vessel has been chartered to land wheat for Australia at San Francis- 1 co.Cattle at western markets are 20c@ -30¢ lower with free offerings.The breadstuffs markets all tend downward again.Flour prices are off 5c@15¢ with wheat.After Friday\u2019s rally wheat is §c lower on the week with a bearish west.In spite of stronger cables and renewed exports, freer shipments and offerings of corn depressed prices }c, and similar influences put oats down ic net on the week.Reports of stocks of wheat at nearly 1600 points, of accumulation east of the Rocky Mountains, show 34,363,000 bushelsŸo held last Saturday a decrease 5,273,000 bushels during April and 14, 000,000 bushels less than were held a year ago.> Indian corn stocks are 15,665,112 bushels or 25 per cent less than April 1.Stocks of wheat flour are 90,000 barrels larger in excess of stocks held May 1 1888.Hog products, excepting lard, which is heavy are generally active and firmer.Exports of flour and wheat this week are equal to only 892,000 bushels of wheat against 1,504,000 bushels last week, and 1,638,000 bushels in the like week laat year.New York\u2019s trade has been greatly curtailed.Exeeptions are shown in the stronger local demand for country pra- duce and fruits.Groveries, naval stores, building materials, dry goods, furniture, boots and shoes aud rubber goods are quiet.Wool, paper, glassware aud china, machinery and leather, are dull.Paints and oils continue in good demand crude tubber and building materials are strong and tend upward.A bullish temper animates the New York stock market based on good crop prospects and favorable net earnings, reports for March by Western railroads, onds are strong on active investment demand.Money at New York is easy, Call loans 2} per cent, foreign exchange is

strikes, with 26,007 strikers in April, 1888.Since January, 1889, there have been reported 221 strikes, and 48,924 strikers, against 313 strikes and 9,796 strikers four months of 1888, and 393 strikes

weather and holidays have curtailed dry good sales at New York and Boston, but the latter part of the week bas witnessed a good trade in job offerings.At New York commission men report no change.April trade at Boston was of satisfactory velume, prices are unchanged except for print cloths, which are 1-16¢ higher on steady demand and increasing cost of cotton which in turn is 4c higher on light crop

3.\u2014This has been a day of great excitement in Guthrie, owing to the efforts of the city government to open streets, in accordance with the newly adopted plan.It became apparent early in the day that trouble would ensue, and the entire police force went from point to point removing houses and tents whenever found to interfere with the opening of streets.Property holders, thus molested, held open-air meetings and excited a great , deal of opposition to the course pursued, going so far as to hang Mayor Dyer and other city officials in effigy.The mob then paraded over the city and circulated inflammatory stories about the violent actions of the officials.By noon immense crowds had collected along the proposed streets to oppose the police and surveyors\u2019 corps.Old John Williamson, & gray-haired veteran of the war of 1812, who heid a cherished lot just in the middle of the street, toox an axe in one band and a scantling in the other, and shouted he would kill the first man who touched his tent.A large crowd gathered to assist him, and the police were torced to move back.Several times pistols were drawn and fatal encounters seemed imminent, but the withdrawal of the police was the signal for a dispersion of the mob, and no further trouble occurred.During the early part of the day Geo.P.Wright, à prominent citizen of Dodge City, Kan., was lying in his tent, when the officers lifted & one-story frama house nearby and threw it up against his little canvas house.The timbers fell with a crash, and Wright was lifted from the wreck seriously cut and bruised.He was carried into a peighboring tent and found to be suffering from a fractured skull.The doctors say he cannot live until morning.The withdrawal of the police is taken a8 an evidence that the Mayor cannot enforce his proposed street-making system, and the mob congratulates itself that there will be no further attempts to molest their claims.In the present state of affairs traffic is cut off in all directions there being no well defined streets.Gamblers bave taken positions in the middle of the road leading to the depot and defy the authorities to dislodge them.Judge W.H.Clayton, brother of Gen.Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, and of the late John M.Clayton, made an address to the Council this evening, to stand by their plans and clear the proposed streets at any cost, if necessary.He advocated the use of the four companies of troops camped in the bottom.The city is in great disorder this evening.Bonfires, speech-making, and a general jubilee are the programme of the mob.Seventy-four gambling joints are running full blast.Liteon, I.T., May 2.\u2014At Lisbon the improvements made are the most primitive.Supplies must be brought across by wagons from either Pond Creek, sixty miles, or Guthrie, forty miles away.For meat the people have been depending mostly on game or indian cattle.The settlers are, as a class, much different from those at Guthrie, being the characteristic Western squatters.To-day the first loads of lumber arrived and were taken up before being unloaded.Rude frame structures are now going up rapidly, and the place presents much the appearance of a Western mining town.The town lots were almost all taken by the cowboys, who were hidden either near the town or in the woods of the Cheyenne couniry, about two miles to the west.As a result the business men are paying tribute for their lots to these usurpers.The city was yesterday afflicted with much less strife and contention than at Guthrie.The difficulty that now preserts itself and may result geriously is the strife between the different town companies.Besides Lisbon there are King Fisher and King Fisher City.The rivalry between them for prominence is bitter in tbe extreme.Gambling 18 at present apparently the chief occupation.Brace games are run most successfully, and the poor settlers are systematically robbed of their little means.Filing at the land offices goes slowly on.The first number called this morning was 320, and the last to-uight 440.A driver, Cal McCormick, coming over from Guthrie last night, brought the intelligence of an affray which is being investigated by a party of men sent out for the purpose.He says that half way between the two towns he found banging from a tree the body of a man about forty-five years of age.Questioning a settler whom he saw afterwards, he learned that the dead man had come upon a claim belonging to a young man named Callan, from near Lincoln, Neb.The claim-jumper, by aid of his Winchester and revolver, drove young Callan off the land and took possession.That night friends gathered to Callan\u2019s assistance and, capturing the claim jumper, hanged him to the tree where he was found by the driver.Two of McCormick\u2019s passengers vouched for the truthfulness of his statement.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Killed His Wife and Himself, SuLraur Srrincs, Tex, May 3.\u2014Last February Helen Taylor, daughter of a wealth farmer of Delta County, married John Kiug, of Tennessee, an employee of ber father.The couple quarreiled and the wife returned to her father\u2019s house.King visited his wife daily and tried to induce her to live with him.Each time she refused.Yesterday he was again rejected, when he shot his wife through the heart and blew his own brains out.\u2014\u2014_ Boston Whiskey Men Smile.Boston, May 3.\u2014Buston under a restriction of licenses is not far different irom what it was when licenses were freely issued.A good many of the saloons, failing of a license, are still open and will continue to do business for some time to come.Saloon-keepers realize these two facts very clearly : First, that it is very easy to fix the policemen on their beat, and, second, that there are not enough spotters abroad todo them any great amount of harm.They also appreciate the inabilitv of that association of citizens, known as the Law and Order League, to enforce the law, especially as its members last night showed a balance in the treasury of but $648, Reports from the country towns show that tha Salocn-keepers have the same feeling of confidence that they can evade the law with impunity.Tne ACTION or Carter\u2019s Little Liver Pills is pleasant, mild and natural.They gently stimulate the liver, and regulate the bowels, but do not vurge.They are sure to

Brutal Assault on an Ol Woman and Her Granddaughter.SAULT STE Mamie, Mich, May 3.\u2014 Alexander, a small village on the * Soo\u201d line, a few miles from here, was the scene of a dastardly crime last night.At dusk a woodsman walked into the residence of Mrs.Malloy, near the section house, where she and her granddaughter were alone.The fellow pushed the old lady in a bedroom, and after locking the door, ravished the eleven year old girl most brutally.Hearing the screams the grandmother burst through the door, when he attacked Ler, brusing her badly.The villain then calmly walked off to the woods and soon got out of sight.Assistance was called, but he could not be traced.The woman and child were badly lacerated, and the latter 8 in a serious condition.ce SIR JULIAN RECEIVED.Mr, Blaine

Wanted.INDIANAPOLIS, May 3.\u2014Secretary Johnson, of the State Board of Charities, returned to-day from his first visit of in- gpection of prisons and county asylums in Northern Indiana.He is very severe in his strictures of the management of the Carroll County Poor Asylum.He declares that the insane department of the institution is the worst of all the bad places he bas ever geen, and adds: \u2014\"The women and children are properly separated from the men, but they are kept in a rickety old shanty, in which they are locked at night.The windows are nailed down so that there can be no esgape from or entrance to the room, which is heated by an old-fashioned stove, very insecurely put up.The place where the insane are kept is indescribably bad.There are six insane persons kept in what is entitled to no better name than a pen.Two of them are capable of taking care of themselves and the others are not violent.Three of the women are kept in a pen.One of them is a repulsive and indecent woman, but one was a woman whose face showed that she was not of the coarsest kind and she appeared to be rather clean.The {filth of the room in which they were kept, described in the only larguage that can be decently used, was simply horrible and the odor arising from it was sickening.They are kept confined in the place constantly and, if they were not insane, their surroundings would certainly make them so.\u201d \u2014_ HIS LEG BETRAYED RIM.Wings Would be More Useful to Bur.zlars.New York, May 3.\u2014A bold attempt was made early yesterday morning to enter the apartments of Henry V.Rosen- baum, at No.529 East Eighty-fourth street.The intruder was caught in the act of entering the front wiudow and was flung unceremoniously\u2019 to the street, where he lay until the ambulance conveyed him to Bellevue Hospital.On account of sickness in the family Mr.Ros- enham has lately slept on a cot in the front room of the first floor.This piece of information, if known to the burglar, would have proved valuable and probably would have postponed the contemplated raid.It was near three o\u2019clock in the morning when Mrs.Rosenbaum, who slept in a room adjoining the parlor, fancied she heard a noise in the front of the house.She looked cautiously from her bed and could just discern the shadow of a man who appeared to be standing upon the window sill.Her busband, who was tired out from the celebration, slept on undisturbed and for some time did not hear - his wife\u2019s outcries of warning.When he did so the burglar had the window fastenings loosened and one foot thrust inside the room.That's as far as he got.Mr.Rosenbaum realized the situation at a glance, and although a rather timid man naturally did not hesitate rushing upon the intruder.Everything was in favour of the shirtmaker, who had a solid footing and an opportunity to use his fists to advantage.He pusbed suddenly with all his strength and away into space went the burglar with a curse upon his lips.As the burglar dropped to the basement Mrs.Rosenbaum rushed to the room screaming, in the belief that her husband was hurt in the scuffle, but the latter only smiled and pointed at the open window.The cries of the wounded burglar soon attracted attention, and in a few minutes a crowd assembled at the spot.It was gome time before a policeman arrived, and to that official the wounded man made several statements in explanation of his act.He said he lived at Eighty- fourth street and Third avenue, that his name was Henry Heffner and that he was a gas fitter by trade.He said he made a mistake in the bouse, thinking it was bis own, and that he entered the front window because be lost his night key.These statements are not credited by the police, who believe that the burglar SUBSCRIPTION $6.00 PER ANNUM bad confederates on Lhe cutside ready to assist him in case of success.When they saw him fall, however, the pale skipped away.For some unknown rea- fon the ambulance summoned from the Presbyterian Hospitalldid not arrive, and it waa pearly an hour later when a vehicle arrived from Bellevue.At the hospital it was found that the burglars hip wus fractured and he had severe bodily injuries, but none of a serious nature.An officer was placea in the sick ward to watch the prisoner until he is able to leave for court.Mr.Rosenbaum went to the Eighty- eighth street station, feeling some appre- Lension as to his action in the matter.Captain O'Connor relieved him considerably by saying it was a pity the fellow bad rot broken his neck.\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE GLORIOUS CLIMATE OF CARO- LANA.XKuoeked into Smithereens by a Cyclone.Rarkian, N.C., May 3.\u2014Warsaw, ia the eastern part of this State, was struck by a terrific cyclone this morning at 4 o'clock.Hail fell with such rapudity apd violence as to lie eight inches deep in thirty-six seconds.Many small houses were blown away almost bodily.Large houses were torn up so that they are not habitable.The seminary building was split open and nearly destroyed.The Presbyterian Church was totally destroyed, not a stick of timber being left that may be used in rebuilding.Fences were torn up and scattered like leaves.No loss of life is reported, but many people were seriously hurt by the flying timbers.Strawberries are the principal article of early production here and hundreds of acres were ruined.Exclusive of lose to these crops the damage will exceed $12,000, PE POOR HEN-PECKED HUSBAND.The Wife Played an 01d Game on Him.New York, May 3.\u2014A middle-aged man, named James Hannon, entered the Hoboken Police Station at 2 o'clock yesterday morning and begged that a physician be sent to his residence, No.11 Madisan street.He said that his wife had taken \u201cRough on Rats\u201d and that she was dying in great agony.The sergeant in charge sent for City Physician Simon, who at once went with Hannon to where the supposed dying woman was.The doctor found the woman in bed, suffering apparently from convulsions.He timed her pulse and found it beating regularly.He then looked for the \u201cpoison\u201d and found a package of tooth powder.Near by was a glass containing part of the mixture, He came to the conclusion that the pretty, fair- haired young woman was feigning and in a stern voice exclaimed: \u201cThe stomach pump is useless in such a serious case as this, I'll have to cut ber open.\u201d The doctor had hardly spoken the last word when Mrs.Hannon sat up in bed and excitedly shouted: \u201cMy God! doctor, don\u2019t do that.I have not taken poison at all.I only took tooth powder and water, and I did it to frighten my husband, who was jealous and neglecting me.\u201d The husband wiped away his tears and took his wife in his arms and kissed her, while Dr.Simon left, thoroughly weary of his early morning\u2019s work.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 RIOT IN DEMERARA.Georgetown in the Hands of a Negro Mob.New York, May 3.\u2014The following is am og Panama advices to-day via the steamship Newport.The details ofa serious riot in Georgetown, Demerara, beginning March 19th, and lasting three days, have just been received at Panama.The immediate cause of the rioting was a quarrel in the market between a Portuguese and a negro, in which the latter was knocked senseless and is said to have received fatal injuries.The real cause, however, was an old feud between immigrant Portuguese and the negro population.Certain recent judicial decisions in favor of the Portuguese prisoners had inflamed the negroes and only the slightest spark was needed to spring the mine.This was furnished by the fracas in the market, and in a few hours\u2019 time Georgetown was a scene of wild riot and confusion, which might have been averted by prompt action of the officials, A rabble of thousands of frantic and senseless negroes rushed through the streets spreading destruction where- ever they encountered the Portuguese or their property.The authorities were paralyzed, and opposed to the mob a very inadequate force of police.The special constables and volunteers were armed only with police batons.The rioters outnumbered them fifteen to one, and were armed with sticks, stones, broken bottles, cutlasses and some pistols.The result was deplorable.The city\u2019s defenders were overpowered and roughly handled, though they succeeded in taking three
