CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 22.-The Iron
Trade Reriel0 to-day received the follow
ing:
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. p, 1884.
Up to Tuesday. night 923 furnaces, repre-
senting an annual capacity of 100000 tons,
had replied to a circular issued from this city
asking them If they would agree TO restrict
the production of iron for a certain time. OF
these lS,000,0Q0 tons capacity are out of blast
and agree to remain so, 10000 use all they
make, or have contracted their
entire production, and are not sellers
of iron. OF the remaining 100000 capacity
who make iron for market 0,000 agree to re-
strict production. The Western Pig Iron As
sOciation has just Issued a circular amending
the proposition by asking the participants to
leave non sellers as well as idle furnaces out
of the calculation, as n0n-sellers do not affect
stocks in either way. This will undoubtedly
be accepted, in which case the movement
promises to be a success.

from the house. Before she had gone
very far the man overlook and passed
her soon getting out of sight. Some
neighbors hearing Mrs. Sprague's

sounded and the farmers of Hicks

THE BURIED MINERS.
Distressing Scene-Great Excite.
ment


DENVER, Jan. 25.-The Tribune's
Crested Buttes special says the eXplor-
ing party almost reached Chamber
No. yesterday evening and discover
ed one dead body, the skull broken and
the whole body terribly bruised and
blackened. The gas is SO bad in the
mine and the passage way so block
AIDED that progress is very slow. Every
thing possible is being done to reach
the bodies as speedily as possible. All
hopes of finding any of the buried
miners alive has long since been aban-
doned. Threats are made against Su-
perintendent Robinson and the mine
boss, Gibson, principally against the
latter, and serious trouble is feared.
Robinson is at the mine superintend-
ing the work of searching for the
bodies. No special fears are entertain
ed for his safety but strong guard
has been placed about the residence of
Gibson. The threats do not come from
men engaged in the mine but some
who have qeen discharged take this
opportunity to make trouble. The
scene at the mines is most pitiful one.
The wives and children of the buried
men are still lowering around the en-
trance to the mine and their lamenta-
tions add to the distressing scene.
1t is impossible to get only very
small report from the Crested Butte
disaster. Through almost superhuman
efforts the rescuing party reached
one chamber in the mine this morninS
where the men are supposed to have
been at the time of thesexplosion.
Fifteen dead bodies have been found
but have not been taken out and
names of them not learned. The
deadly gas is the source of imminent
danger to the rescuers who are forced
to proceed most cautiously. Excite
ment is intense.
LATER-T hirty-four bodiesI found
up to this time, including all who
| were at work in chamber No. l. These
bodies are now being brought out tC
! the main entrance and soon will be
brought to the surface. The workmen
will then begin to search for bodies il

The Origin of Mnsnnitnes.

The Indians have very satisfac-
tory account of the origin Of the
Montezuma mosquitoes. The le-
gand runs thus: There were in
times of old, many moons ago, two
huge feathered monsters permit
ted by the Manitou to decent from
the sky and alight on the banks
of the Seneca river. Their form
was exactly like that of the mus
quito. They were so large that they
darkened the sun like cloud as they
flew toward the earth. Standing one
on either bank they guarded the
river, and stretching their long necks
into the canoes of the Indians, as they
attempted to paddle along the stream,
gobbled them up, as the stork king ia
the fable gobbled up the frogs. The
destruction of life was so great
that not an Indian could pass
without being deyoured in the
attempt. 1t was long before
the monsters could be exterminated
and then only by the combined effort.

Onondago nations, but the warrior!
finally triumphed and the mammoth
mosquitoes were slain and left I'm
buried. For this neglect the Indians
had to pay dearly. The carcasses de
composed, and the PARTICLES, vivifiet
by the sun, flew off in clouds of mos
quitoes, which have filed the countr,
ever since.-William F. Taylor, in tn

latter city, which have been somewhat
