BradStreefs in its review of the industrial
situation, says:
The trade dispatches tell Of an increased dis
tribution OF merchandise, with distinct and
widespread tendency toward higher prices for
staple goods. The facts as telegraphed from
leading cities are almost uniformly encourag-
ing From New England the autumn business
il reported in excellent shape. Philadelphia
reports satisfactory activity in most branches
of the distributing trade, with no complaint OF
collections in any quarter. Kansas City reports
the best business for several months, with
provement, with free buying in anticipation of
higher prices At Louisville business
maintains an active and firm move
ment, with the distributive trade especially
well employed The merchandise movement
at New Orleans has been very brisk, with the
prices of staple goods, except flour, generally
advanced on the week. From Chicago report
prise il expressed at the ease of Western and
Northwestern collections. Some lines report
that money is coming in a month ahead OF
time Good reports of collections generally
have been received. Iowa trade centers report
further satisfactory trade movements. Reports
from st. Paul and Minneapolis of general trade
are again favorable. The dry goods trade
of St Paul Is particularly prosperous

activity in the New York Stock Market. The
general situation in the iron trade continues
strong and prices are well maintained.

Sufferers.

Strenuous efforts are being made to patch
up the houses in rude way to make them
water tight and allow residences to be &C.
cupied and business to be resumed.
Considerable excitement has been caused
by the refusal Of bricklayers to work for
less than So a day. The objection, appar-
emily, is not SO much to the amount asked
for as to the character of the work done,
many of those claiming the advanced rate
being inefficient.
Under instructions from the Treasury
Department Mr.. Earl Sloan has visited the

assures in and about Summerville and
traverse the whole line of the South Caro-

in levels of the earth.
At special meeting of the City Council
Mayor Courtenay reported that the amount

large measure of relief necessary TO reach

TO say TO the Aldermen of Charleston, how
small this sum would be when divided
among the sufferers. "To show" he said,
"the grossest ignorance as to the amount
received and the needs of the city, it has
been deliberately suggested that no taxes be
levied next year, and the relief fund be
used instead" As the taxes in 1886 in
Charleston reached nearly 5000, 000 il is
easily seen how fallacious and misleading
are such suggestions.

THE NEW PUBLIC PRINTER.
Thomas E. Benedict Sworn In as the
Successor of S. P. Rounds.
Washington special


Public Printer Thomas Z. Benedict has
been sworn in, giving bond for 500, 900,
the sureties of which are citizens of Ulster
county, New York. The new Public
Printer said that until he got his
hands well on to the reins of the Office he
did not contemplate making any changes.
He also said that he would undoubtedly
make changes as rapidly as he thought they
were advisable. He has, since the fact
of his appointment became known,
been overwhelmed with applications
for positions under him, and with
letters asking that many of those already
in be kept in. AS yet he has made no ap-
pointmert whatever. There are number
of men whom he has an eye upon with
view to their appointment to the more i'm
portant subordinate positions, but he has
as yet definitely decided upon very few.
He certainly could, if he desired, provide
places for many people. He will be at the
head of a payroll of 2, 400, all of whom he
can remove or keep in place, just as he
sees fit, without any reference to the Civil
Service Commissioners. Many of the 2,400
places are very good ones. varying in their
salary attachments from 81 200 to $1,000 q
wear.

TROUBLESOME APACHES.
They Are Prisoners of War-The Dis
position of Geronimo.
Washington telegram. !

Gen. Drum, acting Secretary of War,
speaking of the statement made by Gen.
Miles that the Apaches now on their way
TO Fort Marion, Fla, were never prisoners
of war, said that, although they may not
have been disarmed, the President always
considered them as prisoners of
war, and as such they were tuned
over to Gen. Crook. The best proof
of their being prisoners of war,
Gen. Drum said, was the fact that
otherwise they could not have been held
under military control. The War Depart
ment could not have fed them otherwise,
and they would of necessity have been I'M
der the charge of the Indian Department.
General Phil Sheridan says he does not
know whether any conditions attach to
Geronimo's surrender. He believes the
chief is entitled to no mercy, and says:
off he can not be dealt with summarily he
will probably be removed east of the Mis-
sissippi-to Florida, perhaps-the very
place he doesn't want to go. The Dry
Tortugas would be good reservation for

Scranton pa dispatch.l
The Marvine Shaft Colliery of the Della
ware & Hudson Canal Company was the
scene Of an extensive cave-in this morning,
by which it is feared number of men have
lost their lives, how many it is impossible
to say, the suppositions varying from six to
nine. There seems to be but little question
of the death of one of them, an elderly
man named John Shafer. A number of
men were cut and bruised by falling rock
and coal in making their escape up the
slope. Following are the injured:
Henry Shafer, shoulder bruised and
three ribs broken; Thomas Healy, laborer,
slightly hurt; Joseph Ready, driver, toes
smashed; George Mason, miner, hand
badly cut; Peter Kelly. timber boss, was
struck on the back of the head and on the
shoulder by falling rock. Kelly passed
John Shafer, an elderly man, at the foot Of
the slope.
So far as is known, the names of TIE
missing men, in addition to Shafer, are as
follows:
John Garden, laborer, 80 years Of age,
married; John Young, miner, So years,
married and has three children; Patrick
McNulty, miner, married, has seven chill
dren; Cormac Mcguire, miner, 55 years

AS soon as Mr.. Benedict took possession
Of the Government Printing Office the sew
eral foremen of the various departments
were introduced to their new chief. Mr..
Benedict, after greeting each one individ-
ually, addressed them collectively. He
announced to them that each one was con-
tinued in his present position for the time
being, or until he should further commune
cate with them; that at as early moment
as was practicable he would address to each
some inquiries respecting the work in his
division, the property Ill his hands, ETC.,
and would give directions in detail as to
the work. Until such time the system in
existence under Mr.. Rounds would con-
tinue in force. Mr.. Benedict impressed
upon his assistants that he wanted to avoid
any interruption or delay in the work Of
the Office. He wanted the work to go for
ward smoothly and expediticusly. Special
vigilance in guarding and protecting public
property and interests was enjoined upon
the men, and they were urged to be indus
trious and attentive. They were especially
requested TO be watchful against fire, as n
contiagration now would be peculiarly
disastrous. The foremen were directed to
report to the Public Printer any work that
might reach their desks outside the regular
order, and were notified not to undertake
any work of any kind unless il had the
approval of Mr.. Benedict.

MISS SCARCITY FLEGG.
By JANE ELLIS JOY.

tC0pUri0htsd, 1886.
When old Simon Flegg christened his
dnfant daughter Scarcity the people Of
Westmoor were seriously disturbed. The
name was felt to be prOfane justification
of the misery habits of the Flegg family
and a standing reproach to district
lwhere abundance and not scarcity pre-
walled That the child would not grow
ITO womanhood was generally predicted
Though few cautious prophets-especial-
ly as little Scarcity passed unscathed
Through measles and who0ping cough
took n wider view of her destiny, and
looked for some other form of retribu-
ltion.
Butin spite of all forecasts Miss Flegg
tRrew TO be a large, healthy woman, with
go few OF the faults and vanities of young
people that even in sober WestmOOr she
was spoken of as "a pattern of steadi-

igarded Elijah Elkins, her accepted suitor,
a decidedly fortunate young fellow. And
Elijah considered himself fortunate, too,
until he became acquainted with pretty
Luciila Dartmuth.
THIS was Southern girl with dark,
long-lasbed eyes of dreamy beauty. and
an oval Spanish face. She had come
from Alabama to visit friends in West
moor, and every time Elijah Elkins saw
her he felt waVering in his regard for
Miss scarcity. Comparisons brought out
differences, and 1T was indeed true that
Scarcity was heavily fremed-with back

The ripple IN Miss Flegg's love affair
soon began to be talked OF, and there was
a tendency among elderly women to re-
'vive the early predictions. But Scarcity
carried her complaint to no neighbOrly
