Trade stragnatlon and attendant armies of Idle workers are evident In all of the busincps cen tres of the country. Pacts gathered by The World from every Industrial section of the nation show that there are hundreds of thou- sandhi pf empty dinner pails, a larger number of half-filled dinner pails and a rapidly shrinking proportion of full dinner palls. The pledge that good times would endure so loog ss the Republican 'party was kept at the helm was splen didly exploited. Thp full-dinner-pail promise was etouted in the ears-of-tbe workingmen from every 'speakers stand treated during the campaign. It wse a bait that appeared aUdilng- ly In all of the campaign 4lter*ture. The workingman was to have cease less work. There wse to be ^either idleness nor want The mills were to he kept running every work day In the week and on full time every day. ' It was to be four years of plenty and abundance. Business was to boom. Failures were to decrease. Tbs wheels of trade and commerce were to whirl at their at most capacity. It was a splendid word picture that the Allied orator* so artfully paluted. All that the workingmen had to do to bring to htmielf four yean of gllfc- edged prosperity was to vote the Re publican ticket. Then he need worry no longer about the dinner pall for himself or family. 4 -.*■ A careful canvass of the men in.thls city who are In the beat position to Jodge of the acntal state of the busl- nem world shows: BOW BUSIN CSS HAS DBCRBA8KD.

In practically every .industry but' the building trades the number of workers employed in the city Is be- ’ tween S end 30 per cent, lees than a tsar ago. This time last year the building trades were at a standstill because of the grist strike whlcb com pletely peral)z:d the industry, n The building trades are busy now completing buildings which would have been finished months ago but for the long strike. All of these build- 1 soon be completed, and then in the building trades will feel the effect of the general Btaghetkm which la creeping Into every branch of industry. New buildfngs are not biing projec ted on the accustomed sot le, notwith standing the peculiar oooditlcn which N*w York city occupies in relatloo to the building indoatry. The rapid and oeaaleas growth of its population • routine hundreds and thousonds of additional structures each year. These must go up no matter wbat the gen eral state of trade may be, but they form but one branch of the building industry. » The Important branch is the erec- of great modera buildings, whlcb employment to hundreds of iron jmd stonemasons.

In time of trade depression there is always a great accumulation of idle capital in the banks and trust com- panMa Tbls condition rules at the present time, and to export authori ties It is significant of the state of af fairs throughout the entire country, for the money of the nation flows to the banks of this city for profitable investment. Notwithstanding the fact that over 160,000,000 of American gold has been sent abroad sinoer April 1, there Is stnra plethora Of idle capital here. Were business going Along at a nor mal rate this money would not be idle. It would be requl ed by the little merchant and the big merchant. The sending out of tbe country of snob a sum as 160,000,000 would cause la normal times a money squeeze of Intense proportions.

Tbts Syrian contract was taken on a basis of about 616 s ton tor an American railroad. k year ago there were lfl8,000 work ers employed by tbe United States Steel corporation, which benefits more largely through the protective than auy other corporation in the country. The number employed today Is about 106,000, and many of tbeso are working only on part time. The' full ditmvr pail has proved a melaooboly myth to the employe* of the steel trust- f The workers tor tbe Smaller iron and steel corporations like tire Republic Iron and Steel company; tbe Tennes see Goal and Iron company; the Schloas-Shcfield company; tbe Colora do Fuel and Iron company; tbe Lacks- wsrm Steel company and tho Penn sylvania Steel company are even worse off. In good times about 80,000 men are employed by these companies. The to tal now at work is less than 40,000. Of tbe still smaller companies, witn no powerful Influences behind them to hand out contract* even at tbe expense of tbe railroads or others which are tbe buyers, several have gone to tbe wall, notably tbe United States Steel company, a 63,000,000 Mssiaobusrtts concern. Others are tottering upon tbe verge of dissolution- The railroads of the country being tbe largest employers of labor, have as s result of the contraction in business made the largest additions to the Idle army. 120,000 BAILROADBES LAID OFF.

These peo ple d j not earn much money and are able to save but very small sums. Most of them do not attempt pa save anything. These mills for the past nine months have been shutting down tor s few weeks at a time. When they are do ing business they are run only on two thirds time or four daysa week. There Is actually only a full week’s werk for about 100,000 of the 200,000 workers, but the largest fiumber are given part-time employm-'nt through the system of running days a week. —~ This baa been one of tbe most d!re- re- cjnstrued as contempt of court. ~ The text of the decision in part la as fol lows: In re Josephus Danlelsfor contempt Pritchard, circuit judge: ."in order to determine whether tbe petitioner is entitled to the relief pray ed tor in the petition upon which tbe _ _ writ of habeas corpus was toned, ft1s| tbisre fs"ho't»tt of violence, necessary to determine two questions: osene and the stuff wav poured over tbe structure at other places. At about 3 o'clock this completed death trap was set on fire. From tbe facts of tbe esse It Is evident that tbe woman must have been roused by the very first sound.

DISTRESS IS WIDESPREAD. In the middle west, partlcuslsrly Id the cities where large packing bouses are established, the army of Idle work ers is extensive. There are 200,000 packing-house employers in times of fair busin prosperity. Between 25 and 40 per cent, of these are now idle, or about 75,000 mep. The Istbfcrgy in the packing house Industry Is most significant of general trade conditions and of the great Idle army throughout the country. When the average workman Is Idle and Is forced to reduce the expenses of bis family to a minimum the article of food that Is cut down as much as possible is meat. When only a tow cents can be expended upon each meal meat becomes s luxury that Is seldom Indulged in. In Chicago alone, where 40,000 men were, employed last year In the great packing bouses Id that city, the number now employed la 2£,000, or a reduction of 371 per cent. That the contraction in trade is shout tbe same In various cities la shown by the shrinkage in the bank clearings. / For the week ending Jane 11 the bank clearings were 30.2 per cent. km than a year ago; In Boston they showed a decrease of 32 percent., in Rafttmoce a decrease of 22 2 per cent, aad la Philadelphia 20.6 per cent.

It Is believed that tbe girl, who was not more than 16 years of age, was assaulted, and that her head was afterwards held in the stream un til she drowned. Tbe water In the creek Is not more than a few inches deep, which eliminates tbe possibility of her having fallen In and drowned. Clasped in the cold fingers of the dead girl was found s pieoe of cloth which might, have been a part of a man's coat.

Tbe Hfcshaw murder If Oh i of tbe remarkable crimes in Indiana history, and, fltbcugb Hlnshaw was convicted and tbe Supreme Court approved the finding of the trill court, there are many persons who cmtlnue to believe Hlnshaw innooent of the crime. The muader occurred at Belleville, Hendricks tounty, a few miles south of Danville; about 1 a. m., January 10, 1895. Hinsaaw’s story was that bur- glxrt got into the house, and that he aud bis wife had a desperate fight with them. Mrs. Hlmhaw was found dead on the back steps of the par sonage where they lived, and Hln shaw was slashed eighteen times with a razor and shot twice. The trial occupied five weeks, the theory of the pn seoutlon b. ing that Hlnshaw and his wife quarrelei over another woman, that Mtg. Hlnshaw threw herself down on the bed and was shot by her husband, who in flicted the wounds on himself tq carry out the burglar story; that he carried her to the place whre she was found ahd then gave the alarm. After tbe penitentiary, doors had dosed on Hlnshaw his ft lends- and relatives hired Pinkerton detectives in an effort to run. down the alleged burglars and then by prove tbe inno cence of the convicted man^ After working tor several weeks without ac compllsblng anything the detectives informed those interested In tbe case that It was useless to search further f r the robbers, that there was not the slightest clew from which to start. Tbe kililog had been done with Hinabaw’s revolver. Hlnshaw had been slashed with his own razor—there was not anything on which an in vestigation could be beg*l.' Hope was given tq the convicted, lean’s friends abuut three years ago when a notorious burglar who bad been coofloed in tbe Michigan City prison made an alleged confession in which be stated that be was a mem ber of a gang that entered the Hln shaw home on the night of the crime and that they perpetrated the murder of Mra Hinsbsw and the assault on the minister. This led to a reopening of the celebrated case. Hlnshaw was brought baok from prison and tbe man who made tbe confession was brought to Indianapolis and subjected to a rigid 4Nas examioation. After tbe fullest investigation the authorities were convinced thaMhe confession was a pure fake concocted for the. pur pose of obtaining notoriety dr a pcs stole release'from the term of Impris onment toe-was then serving.
