fishes to-day over ninety letters from lead
ing manufacturers Of engines, iron and
wire of working machinery, steam pumps,
hardware specisltles and iron roofing in
the principal cities east of st. Louis, setting
forth the present condition of these indus
tries and giving reports as to the outlook
of the trade In these lines during the next
six months. It appears from these let
ties that the condition of business in these
industries is not as bad as has been repre-
sented, and that the aggregate of sales for
the first six months of this year is consid-
erably greater than those for the last
half OF 1888. Engine builders have been
well engaged, and in some instances are
behind with their orders. Manufacturers
of wire are working to their fullest ca
pacity. There appears to be more bust
ness depression in the east than west. The
present dizziness Of trade in some depart
ments and low scale of prices prevailing is
attributed to a want of confidence induced
by the late failures in New York and un-
certainty as TO the tariff legislation and

Owing to Reticencs Of
Officials.

Moberly, No., July 4.-ESpecial. The
horrors and fatality resulting from the
late disaster at Grand River bridge are fast
developing in detail as the wreck is clear
ed, and what was by some strange means
given out as minor accident, is proving
to be one Of the worst catastrophes ever
occurred in the state. Up to the present
time, j, m, nine more bodis had been
taken from the debries which, with thoss
recorded yesterday, increases the number,
KNOWN To BE DEAD,
to fifteen, bot up to the present writing
only four have been identified as follows:
John Long, Fred Young, A. Fisher and
John A. Dillon.

known to be still In the wreck Divers are
still at work but how long it will be before
the full extent Of the calamity is ascer-
tanned, is not known.
THE CAUSE OF THE DIsAsrER,
is said TO be the defective character of the
bridge, the centre span of which,
being the portion which gave way, is about
$50 feet in length and was supported tenn
porarily on false work while undergoing
repairs. Its elevation is about forty feet
from the surface of the water and since the
work of repairing has been in progress,
trains have been required to cross the
bridge at very low rate of speed. Phillip
Beck, the engineer of the unfortunate
train, in backing over the bridge, shut of
his steam for this reason, but when the
center of the bridge was reached, finding
sufficient imputus had not been given to
carry him over, steam was again put on
and the conclusion caused the bridge to
tremble and totter. Finding the bridge
giving way, he sounded the whistle to,
alarm the men, and but for this. not one Of
those who occupied the eight cars would
have escaped, as q moment later the entire
structure gave way with crash, precipitat-
ing the entire train into the river among
1 its ruins

Baldwin will insist on this track as the
scene Of the action. He claims that, as
he has to travel about two thous.

Mr.. Louillard ought to be satisfied to

Chicago course would be in the nature
Of neutral ground for each. That part
Of the proposition, II strikes me. looks
reasonable enough The amount invol

consent.
"In regard to the proposed matches

amendment, which doubtless will be nc
cepted by Lorrillard, although 1t will
mos be insisted on: He baldwin, will
make four matches instead OF three. at

be easily arranged by mutual agreement.
He recognizes 10 the proposed matches
