TRADE AND THE INDUSTRIES. Bad Weather and IMpassable Roadt Have Their Effect on Business Which Shows a Moderate Improve. rnant at yariouS Points.


 Which Shows a Moderate Improve msnt at yarious Points.
 NEW YORK, Feb 12.-Special telegrams to Bradstreet's repeat the previous weeks ad- vices respecting unfavorabls weather and more or less impossible country roads, both of which have had marked effect in de- pressing trade. The feature is that of a re- ported moderate improvement in business at Norfolk, Pittsburg, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Kansas City and Dubuque, Iowa. This is not particularly significant, inasmuch as the gain at Cleveland is characterized as a fair movement of goods only, while that at Pittsburg does not appear to be any more pronounced. Kansas City fur nishes the most emphatic statement as to better trade with increasing activity. Be yond these more favorable features the firm ness noticed in brown and bleached cotton goods at fractional advance in prices calls for comment. Concessions of higher wages by eastern mills announced. Dry goods commission houses report a fair trade and Q firm market. At Chicago there is a health ful increase in the volume of sales over those of the corresponding period last year. 1U however, that the spring trade will not open before March 1. In the wool market there is continuance of the firmness of holders and steadiness of prices heretofore reported, but no new flea lures. Spot cotton at New York is off about 1ac on the week and the market generally is weak owing to light demand, declining ex- ports and resistance of Liverpool to domestic views as to prices.
 The industrial features of the week are found in the prolonged strike of the Connellsville cokers, which is caus ing a curtailment of production of pig iron in the western Pennsylvania and north ern and eastern Ohio manufacturing districts for lack of fuel The New York city cigar manufacturers lockout has been partially disposed of through agreement with the oper- atiVes Advances of ten per cent. in wages have been made at most of the larger New frmer on the proposed new railroad and coal pool, but prices are unchanged. There is no change in pig iron prices or demand. Old rails are lower and less firm Steel rails quoted soc. and $1 below the late extreme high prices at the mills. Grocery staples are inactive, the movement in sugar, tea and coffee being be- hind that of last year. Prices are unchanged. Dairy products are nominal with export movement checked. Wheat has developed unexpected strength in the face of a light decline in the visible supply and an increase in the quantity ahoat for Europe where & decrease was expected. The condition of the winter sown crop will now become a more active price making in f1uence. Late evidences point to some dam age having been done in the southwestern winter wheat States from overflow and other causes. Definite reports are wanting. Indian corn is strong and the attempted squeeze of the February shorts is attracting attention. Flour is moderately steady only.

1 Governor rested peacefully and his condition could only be distinguished from natural | sleep by the ashen pallor and the labored
 breathing. At S:30 he was sinking rapidly.
 His pulse could scarcely be counted and the
 respiration was more and more difficult. He
 died without struggle and as peacefully as l one falling asleep. The immediate cause of l his death was cerebral efflsion, the usual l process of death in old age. Those present when he passed away were Mrs. Seymour and her sister, Mrs. Nelson of New Brunswick, N. J., the Governors brother, John F. Sey l mour of Utica, his sisters Mrs. Linsklaen and Mrs. Conkling, Dr. w. E. Ford and Judg 6 Bulger. As yet no. arrangements have been made for the funeral.
 MT. Seymour suffered from vertigo after sunstroke several years ago and never entire ly regalned his former strength. He dis liked to admit infrmity and when pressed to
 labor on behalf of MT. Tilden he did so be- yond his strength and seriously weakened his system. His canvass for Hancock in 1880,
 made against his physicians orders, nearly
 completed the wreck of his health and closed
 his political labors. Mrs. Seymour's illness has of late worried the ex- Governor and has tened his decline. He seemed aware of ap- preaching death for the past ten days, but said little on the subject.
 CRASH AT NORTH WOBURN.
 TWO Express Trains Hun Full Speed
 Against Each Other and Many Per-
 sons are Injured.
 BOSTON, Feb. 12.-At 6:45 o'clock this evening the Lowell express on the Boston and Lowell railroad leaving Boston at 6:15 p. m. collided at North Woburn Junction, about fourteen miles from here, with the Montreal express which was due in Boston at 6:25 and was ten minutes late. A tramp who was riding on the forward platform of the Mont real baggage car lost both legs and died without giving his name. Engineer Hammond, of the Lowell train, was seriously injured internally. Fire man Dudley of the train had his left leg fractured was cut in the thigh, lost the fingers of his right hand and was in jured probably fatally internally. Dr. Nel- son, of Lancaster bank fame, Dr. Tourjee's l son-in-law, had his right leg cut off. He has been taken to the Massachusetts general ] hospital. The baggage master of the Mont | real expresswas pinned by hot stove in the ! bagg age car and was badly burned. A dog | sn passengers were more or less injured l No farther particulars have as yet been re- ceived.

The Westport Hom1cide.

Two men who were chopping wood Thurs day afternoon, in the Campo district, West port, engaged in a quarrel, and one of them, David Flynn, was seriously stabbed, the knife passing through one of his legs. He was removed to the house of D. O'Brien, and Dr. Day was sent for. It is the opinion of the doctor that the mans chances of recovery are doubtful. No arrest has yet been made It is said that the parties belong to hard class, and had probably been drinking.

THE GREAT FALL OF RAIN.
N ueh Damage Done by Flood and

Much Damage Done by Flood and Ice.
 BOSTON, Feb. 12.-The present rain storm, which at midnight still continues here, is a remarkable and in some respects an unprece- dented one. The fall has been very great, that at Newport of from six to eight inches in twenty-one hours being perhaps the heavi- est, but scarcely lesser downpour is report ed from many quarters. In Worcester coun- ty of this State and at points in New Hamp- shire and Maine the drops have speedily turned into ice and much damage has been done to shade trees, telegraph lines and poles At other points, and not far distant ones, there has been no freezing, but the floods have worked even more disaster.

Betting Works R.inea by the Flood.

BOSTON, Feb. 12.-When the city of Bos- ton proposed to improve Stony Brook the Boston Betting company, whose mills are sit uated near by, objected but the plan was carried out and as a consequence the compa- ny last year lost $2, 300 by the flooding of it's property and to-day will lose between $50, 900 and $40, ,000 from the same cause The com pany's yard is veritable lake and the lower floors of the various buildings, which are to be reached only in boats, are flooded. The heavy money loss is from damage to valuable machinery and to the rubber, lead, sulphur and other articles in stock. The company s claim upon the city for last years damage has not yet been settled, although special committee has for some time had it under consideration
