Tho failure in the tea trade, Monday,
is attributed rather to competition,
which is growing up in the West, than
to the panic. The great Western marts

owing to this withdrawal of trade. The
decreasing trade is mentioned as the
cause OF one of the heaviest importing
honses advertising two vessels of their
feet for snle.
1t is said the engine which exploded

Intelligence. She was on her way homo,

lngmen. stopped for q second, and was
struck by flying piece of the boiler.
The little girl killed was an Italian
street musician. Her harp was found
lying by tho side of her body. The
work OF death was apparently mainly
executed by piece of iron, weighing
fully 200 pounds, which was thrown of
from tho boiler, at the height of about
five feet, and sped through the mir ut
abont that level above the ground.
Its force was spent ut the corner of
l2Sth street, where it fell, striking on
the head and killing the young woman
above mentioned. The families of the
deceased men, who wero nearly MI mar
ried and had children, visited the Sta
tion house during the evening, and with
tears and anguish, identified the dead.
