Condition OF the business of the Coun.
try-Iron and Wool Matters.

NEW YoRK, February 1.-THE dis,
patches 10 Brad.retfs for the week from
the leading trade centers OF the country
reveal that the severe floods in the west
have had a depressing effect upon trade
over far wider extent of country than the
area flooded. In consequence general
trade is dull. Advices from the principal
business centers indicate advancing interest
rates. Wheat has advanced from 4 to 8
cents per bushel in the last few days in
view OF the reports Of damage to winter
wheat in Indiana, Illinois and Missouri,
the decrease Of arrivals at western points
and the continued upward tendency Of the
foreign markets. Corn has advanced from
u to q cents, partly in sympathy with the
advance in wheat. Provisions have re.
mained dull but frm, in sympathy with
corn.

| MIRACLE.

The escape OF the majority was almost
by miracle. The country around the
mines is an almost dead level prairie, and
the recent tremendous rains have covered
the whole country with water. Hundreds
Of acres Of land are honeycombed by the
mine workings, many Of which have been
worked out and abandoned. 1t was through
break IN one OF the abandoned workings
that the flood poured in to day.
The Diamond shaft No. 2 Is ninety.two
feet deep. Above the coal lies from seven.
ty to one hundred and ten feet Of earth.
The coal vein varies in thickness from two
feet nine TO three feet four inches. Above
1t is a layer OF soapstone, and 1t rests on a
bed OF fire clay. The vein winds and dips
good deal, and thus some parts Of the
mine are good deal lower than others.

ST. LOUIS.
A Six Months Sentence for "Shooting
Craps"-Death of Prof Tice-
Review Of His Life.

Special to the Gazette.
St. Louis, November 30.--It is get
ting to be a serious matter here to in.
dulge in any game of chance for stakes.
Jesse Woods, the negro keeper of q
crap house on the levee, was indicted
some time ago under the felony gam.
bling act. The case was tried to-day.
A detective went on the stand aud
showed how the game was shot. The
defense held that ii W no game at all
and that there is no such word in the
English language rs craps" Defend
ant was nevertheless convicted and
sentenced to six months imprlson-
ment.
Prof j. II. Tice, astronomer and
weather prophet. whose almanac cir.
culates wherever the English language
is spoken, died suddenly at his home
In Cheltenham this morning, in the
74th year of his age. Prof. Tice In
early life attained emiuence in his
chosen profession as an astronomer.
He gave the world many interesting
discnurses in regard to electricity. He
made cyclones IA study, and was pi-
oneer in the theory that they were
electric disturbances, totally dissimi-
lar to wind storms known rs hurri-
canes. He also claimed to have dis-
covered an intermercurial planet,
which he named Vulcan, and from the
movements of which he based his
weather predictions. The existence OF
this planet been denied by other Ak
tronomers. The almanac published
for the past ten years had large cir
cula,ion. Many of the pro essor's pre-
dictions were unfortunate. A great
meteoric display promised for Novem-
ber 1850, failed to eventuate. Prof.
Tice was superintendent and secretary
of the public schools in this city up to
theAear 1857.
