New York, Jan. 29.—Bradstreet's. to morrow will Kay: There has been a falling off in general trade owing to the heavy fall of snow and the cold weather. The low temperature has stimulated the demand in a few retail lines, hut the jobbers report sales of dry goods, clothing and farmers’ sup plies cheeked. There is a moderate increase in the distribution of heavy winter goods, hut commercial travelers very generally report that buyers are even more conservative than earlier in the month, and that wholesale trading in January, except in the lines speci fied, is smaller than for years. Mer cantile collections have been Interrupt ed, and the improvement looked for in iron and steel is not in sight. The most favorable feature of the business week is the sudden and sharp falling off in the total number of business fail ures in the I blitocl States.the aggregate being 526, compared with 429 last week, a decrease of 192. When compared with the corresponding week in 1896, this week's falling off is 67. There have been increased sales of hides and leather, in some instances of shoes, coal fertilizers and Southern pig iron for export. At Boston, Charleston, Galveston, and San Francisco there are moderate gains in trade compared with last week. The feature of the Pacific toast business situation continues rel atively large proportion of the foreign trade. The Eastern and Mid dle state iron and steel industries are in an unsatisfactory condition, while the Southern furnaces announce nearly 12,000 tons of iron sold for export with Russia in the market as a wouldbe buyer. The heavy business in raw wool within a fortnight continues and there is still an active demand: Boston sales for three weeks aggregate nearly 30,000.090 pounds, of which more than two-thirds is domestic. The London wool sale develops sharp competition between American buyers, and wools suitable for use here are as high as at any time during the December sale. Mens' wear, woolens and heavy weights for next fall, are attracting attention and good orders have liecn booked. Cotton goods continue depressed, not withstanding the efforts to relieve the situation by reducing the heavy stocks of prints on band. Bank clearings at the cities throughout the I'niled Slates show a sharp falling off from last week, about S per cent., an Increase of 7 per cent, compared with the corresponding total of a year ago. The downward movement of prices for some of the more important staples con tinues conspicuous, notably for (lour, wheat, oats. lard, coffee, petroleum, tur pentine and tin plate. Quotations tor In dian corn. pork, sugar, cotton and print cloths are practically unchanged. Exports of wheat (Hour included as wheat) from both roasts of the United States, this week, were 2.515,498 bushels, compared with 2.550,000. in the week, a year ago. Exports of Indian corn were 3.011.602 bushels, this week, compared with 3.197.000, in the week a year ago. SPANKS FROM MAINE WIRES. It has been decided to rail Portland's now evening daily the Evening Times, and a corporation has been formed with capital stock of $50,000 under the name of Times Publishing Co. These officers have been elected: President, Fred Emery Beane: clerk, Llewellyn Barton; treas urer. If. Iceland Thompson. Mount Hope Rebckah Lodge of Nor way, assisted by Norway Lodge and Wiley Encampment. T. O. O. F., gave a complimentary banquet, Friday evening, to A. L. F. Pike, grand master of the Grand Lodge. A. S. Kimball, junior war den of the Grand Encampment, and Alice R. Woodsum. vice president of the.Re hekuh Assembly. The banquet was fol lowed by the annual installation of offi cers of Wiley Encampment. There was a large attendance and it was an enjoy able occasion. Bangor people who recall the sailing of the schooner Susy M. Plummer from this port, last summer, with a cargo from the Sterns Lumber Co's, mills for Buenos Ayres, will be interested to learn of her presence in that harbor, early in Decem ber. with the celebrated barkentine Her bert Fuller, on board which the*, three awful murders which so startled the world, last season, occurred. The Plum mer’s master. Capt. Grelghton, was on board the Fuller several times while he was in port, and he and Capt. McLaugh lin of the Fuller, decided that It would have been impossible for Brown to have looked through the cabin window wjth both hands on the wheel, as he testified, although he could have seen through the window by letting go the wheel alto gether. Every day on board the Fuller iU Buenos Ayres was quiet as Sunday. The crew were superstitious and rarely spoke, and it seemed as if a spell were over the vessel.—-Bangor Commercial. ’Tis a fact that in Sullivan, recently, a couple tired of walking alone started out for the parsonage to be made one. Arriving there the bride-elect scram bled out, went to the door to inquire if the parson was within. Learning that he w'as, she hurried back to teli the groom, who sat patiently waiting. They hitched the horse—she doing the work—went inlo the house, and after receiving the parson’s blessing, the newly married man turning to his beaming bride, said, “You can stay here awhile. I’m going down to get my horse shod.” S MARVELOUS POWER. s Celery Cpmpound Better Than Years of Doctoring. There was never a remedy so emi nently successful, so far above and be yond all competition, as Paine's celery compound. Paine's celery compound effects mar velous cures. Where other remedies miserably fail, and where doctors do not succeed, there Paine's celery compound is found curing disease, making people well and happy. Here is the case of Mrs. Halt, who lives at 140 Summer Ave.. Newark, N. J.. and whose portriat is printed here. “My doctor.” she says, "called my disease liver complaint, stomach trou ble, nervous dyspepsia, and almost every other name you could think of. When 1 was in Portland. Ore.. I had I enlargement of the liver, and the doc tor thought all the troubles came from that severe spell of illness. That was 12 years ago, and I have done nothing but doctor since. I have had the best physicians examine me. and see if they could do anything for me. For months at a time my stomach and liver have been so sore that I could lie in tied only in misery, and with such severe pain in my back, and so weak that I could hardly talk. “Aftev I had a bad night I would send for the doctor, and he would leave me a small box of powders and one or two other medicines, and it would cost me $4 every time I had one of these spells. I believe I have taken more medicine than any other living woman. “Last March I had a call front a lady friend of mine, who asked me. ‘What is the matter with you?' I replied by raying. ‘How well you look!’ 'Yes,' sho said, ‘I never felt so well in my life.’ She is a woman of 45. ‘And now,’ she said, ..’I want to give you a little advice. I have'’)icfn almost at death’s door with liver trouble. After the doctor had done all tftgt he could tear me I told him not to'comd again. I ■showed him a bottle of Paine’s cel ery compound and told him 1 was go ing to give that a fair trial. As a" re sult I am strong and well. "I sent right over to tttg dnjkg store and got a bottle of‘Paine’s celery Com pound, and when I had taken two hot ties the soreness hid left my stomach and my side felt tnueh better. After I had taken four bottles my side was much stronger, and I was In better spirits and felt as though I might live and not be in such misery. Working people nowadays work the vitality all out every week, and all I ask Is to bo able to earn the money 1 have to every week. ’’Paine’s celery compound has en abled roe to do this, and has done me more good than all the doctors put to gethower in law to en force its decision. One labor leader stated that the decision would prevent other Lynn shoe manufacturers from making reductions In the wages of em ployes. The labor leaders expect, ns a result of the decision, that they will he able to get hack the reductions mode in the Lynn shoe factories. The President Visits New York. Washington.

A WELL FOUflHT GAME. Augusta Loses to Bath. 3 to 0—No Score in First Two Periods. Augusta lost to Bath. Friday even ing, In City hall, by a score of 3 to 0, in as hotly a contested game as was ever seen here. It was a hustle, a scramble, and a general all-around push for the supremacy, for the first two periods, ending in an even thing of It. The Augustas played sharp team work game, and their aggressive as well as defensive work until the last 5 minues of the game was superior to their opponents, and only Murphy's grand work prevented them scoring. Both teams played a bold game, for that matter, and the goals were de fended in a way to make things look helpless for either side—as if the ball had no idea whatever of going into either of the cages. Bdth played very roughly, at times, getting off altogether too easily with only two fouls. For a while one man had an Augustonlan by the leg, hold ing that member high in the air to the indignation of the owner and the spectators, who united in one loud yell. The game went on for nearly three periods, neither side being able to make a score. The work of Murphy at goal was brilliant, with 35 stops, many of them being very difficult ones. Both sides passed well, and the in terference was something on the mar vellous. Perry stuck to J. Mooney like the proverbial brother, and there were others. Turner and Perry did some great passing to the doughty Dawson, whose bee-line drives were stopped by Mr. Murphy of Bath. In the third period, 11 minutes and IT’s seconds had passed in the. same hair-lifting, heart-stopping manner. The ball was driven to a corner back of our cage. Barlow got it. looked around, and, seeing Perry near the center, attempted to pass it to him, in front of our cage. The idea was all right—but McGilvray made a headlong dive and whanged the ball by Hackett's legs into the netting. Time. 11.18. The crowd groaned. Then came the second and third goals for Bath, in 3.32 and 20 seconds, and the game was—Bath’s. It was well played, the best we’ve had and the audience said nothing worse than Too bad." Previous to the game the Capital Citys beat the State House team by a score of 6 to 2. The teams lined up as follows: AUGUSTA. BATH \V. Dawson i r.J. Mooney Turner 2 r. McGilvray Perry c.15.

He saved a terrific defeat for Bath. J. Mooney’s work was about as dirty as has been seen here. It would have bothered any man to keep track of his off-color plays. The crowd was emphatic in its ex pression of disapproval of the latitude allowed by the referee in rough play ing. No one questions Billy Long’s fairness or impartiality, but they do not like slugging, holding, tripping or deliberate pushing by either side. MAINE POLO LEAGUE. Won.

Washington, Jan. 29.—One of the ob stacles to the ratification by the senati or the general arbitration treaty has been removed in the arrangement by negotiation of a plan for the settlement of the Alaskan boundary question. Ir the course of a day or two, a treaty will be laid before the senate for its action which, ratified, will provide the means for tlie final settlement of the long standing boundary question. Certain of the northwestern senators have secretly opposed the general ar bitration treaty, because of a determi nation on their part not to have this boundary question submitted to arbi tration. They felt that the territory was too valuable, since the discovery ol the great gold deposits there, to chanct its loss throsgh any such accident at the appointment of an European umpire and their objections were not overcome by repeated representations to the effect that such disputes might be easily ex cepted from the operations of the gen eral treaty. Now, however, by the treat ment of the Alaskan boundary in a sep arate treaty, the whole subject can bt easily removed from the path of the gen eral treaty and disposed of in advance if necessary. This special treaty is similar in terms to the usual run o! such treaties, and provides for the ap pointment of a commission to visit the country and fix definitely the 110th meridian, which, under the treaty of ces sion to the United States, forms the boundary between that territory and the liritish northwest territory. To Settle I ’hi*, lie flu 11 i'iihiI Debts.

Two amendments were adopted by the sub-committee one requiring the commission to report to congress one year after the passage of the bill, the other providing that the act shall be sub jeol to amendment or repeal at any time: shall not impair any rights now existing in favor of the United States or interfere with or supersede any pending proceed ings in behalf of the United States oi any other that the president may elect to prosecute. The second amendment was propose! by Representative Patterson (Tenn.) Representative Hubbard (Mo.), offered as a substitute a bill for a separate settlemen of the Suuix City and Pacific debts.

Jan. 29.—In the legislature yesterday, the committee on banks am. banking reported a bill which provides that savings banks may allow monej placed on deposit during the first thret days of any quarter to draw interest from the first day of the quarter.

Mich., Jan. 29.—Governot Pingree added another chapter to hii dramatic career by going to the Jack son prison and in person delivering par dons to August Fuhrman, Carl Voegler August Grosman and Henry Jacobs who were convicted four years ago of tin crime of murdering Albert Moliter a> Pogers City, Presque Isle county, h 1872. Moliter was a dictator among his German countrymen, whom he had in dured to settle in the wilderness. Hb reign became so despotic and cruel tha a secret oath was taken by his subjects that they would lake his life, and that should any of the conspirators reveal tin secret crime, it should be fastened upoi him. The deed was accomplished as Moliter was working in his store om August night. No duo to the perpe trators was had until 1S93, when on* P.epeke confessed to the participatioi in it .and implicated the men who wer pardoned, and they were all convietec and sentenced to life imprisonment Subsequently, Kepeke made atfidavh that his testimony was perjury. Th* ease was taken up by the state board oi pardons, who, after two years, ex pressed the belief that the men were in nocent, and that the real perpetrator! ot the crime were dead or beyond read of the law. The board recommend*-*, pardons, which resulted in the action o. Governor Pingree. Cubnn Negotiation* In I'rogre**.
