THE KENTUCKY HORROR.
Remains of a Man, Woman and Child
Found in the Wreck.

J. II. Alvey, one of the victims OF the raiI
road accident on the Southern road, died al
his residence in Covington, KY, and his wife
is sreported to be in a dying condition The
other wounded are doing well.
Aspecial from Greenwood, KY, says: The
fear grows hourly y that the'most terrible part
Of the story Of Saturdays wreck remains tc
be told. As timewears on and the wreck is
being cleared away, the presence of more vic
tins in the debris becomes apparent When
the wreck occurred number of passengers
who were in the ladies' coach and smoking
car on the north bound train succeeded in
making their escape from the cars with
trifling injuries. Just who they are and how
many is not known. The horrible mistake
was discovered when the bones OF two unfor-
tunates were found almost reduced to ashes,
buried with the burned cars. There is alb
solutely nothing by which they can be iden-
tilted, and it is not certain whether the bones
are those of male, female or 10th.
Mr. C. e. Gillespie, of Beaver, visited the
wreck Monday night. While digging in the
ruins he discovered the hair attached to the
scalp of woman. The flesh, of course, was
burned away, but the beautiful long locks
are in good state of preservation. Almost
in the same spot where the hair was found,
Mr.. Gillispie discovered child's shoe The
other shoe has not yet been found, neither
has any account been given of the loss of
a child.
A little deeper in the debris. in the same
spot where the hair and shoe were found,
Gillespie picked up letter. 1t was written
in good, plain feminine hand, dated at st.
Augustine, Fla, addressed to Dear Lula,
and signed Bena:' There is nothing in the
letter to give any clew to the name of the
writer or receiver, and the envelope, unfor-
tunately, cannot be found
After the accident a search was made for
an unknown man who was seen to eater the
toilet-room of the ladies' coach on the north
bound train an instant beforethe crash came.
He was never seen again, and all efforts to
locate him seem futile. 1t is believed that
he was unable to get out of the little apart
ment and was burned to death in the car. 1t
is believed that the bones found are thoss Of
the man and woman. The child was proba-
bly, with its mother and died with her, its
body being burned in the debris. The sus-
picion grows that there are more people bur-
led in the wreck than was extrieated.

VI INTER- WHEAT CROP.
An Improved Condition Reported in
Central Western states.


The Farmers Review" says that the pres
ent condition of the winter-wheat crop is
better than could have been hoped for before
the breaking of the drouth in the fall. This
is attributable to late rains just before the
setting in Of winter and the snow mantle
which has quite generally covered the grow
ing wheat since. Late reports Of crop cor
respondents briefly summarized give
the following percentages Of con
ditions as compared with an
average:-Ohio, AZ counties report an aver
age condition Of II per cent; Indiana, 40
counties, condition S2.S per cent. !; Illinois, Sc
counties 90.7 per cent. Missouri, 40 counties,
$3.50 per cent. !; Kansas, 40 counties, 105 per
cent; Wisconsin, 26 counties, 95.5 per cent,
Michigan, % counties, 1873 per cent; Ken
lucky, 20 counties, S7.2per cent. These fig
utes indicate an average con iition of about
81 per cen in the winter wheat States of the
central West. November reports on acreage
seeded to winter wheat in the same States in
dicate about "a per cent. Of anaverage, which
with present condition indicates about SO per
cent of an average amount Of crop for the
coming harvest provided average conditions
are meanwhile experienced.

Striker Lee Declares They Must Win
or Die.
The great railroad strike is still on, and it
is characterized by the same determination
of both sides to stand firm that has marked it
from the beginning. The company says that
it is overwhelmed with applications from
laborers in search of employment, and that
they have enough men in reserve to fill any
number of vacancies that can possibly occur.
1t is said that Is, 900 Schuylkill miner are idle
to-day. 1t is impossible to tell the exact
number of Reading employees who have quit
work.
At Port Richmond everything remains
with little or no change. Although the stock
Of coal on hand in the Reading Company's
Port Richmond yards is almost exhausted,
the agents of the company are firm in their
expression of the belief that there is no dan
ger Of a coal famine.
1t is learned officially that six of the COM
pany's best collieries are in full operation.
These are the Suffolk at Mahanoy, the two
North franklin colleries at Herndon, the
Brookside in the Lykens Valley and the Rich
ardson and Glendover at Hocksville.
Reports from the coal regions say that
nearly all the company co!lieries are idle,
but nearly all the individual operators have
made arrangements with their men to re-
sumo at tha advance, but it is stated chat the
men will now refuse to mine the coal because
it will be taken to Tidewater points by non
union train hands 1t is believed that long
and bitter struggle will be the result The
number of miners out in the Pottsville region
Is estimated at from 25, 900 to $4,000.

The Year Begins With q Reaction
Fewer Failures Than Expected
The past broken week has not been one Of

reaction in most markets. The Reading strike
has become more serious than was expected,
The miners committee claims that 1900 mi
ners and 1900 railroad msn are out, and

appears, but the share market has been
weakened by the Western war of rates, which
has spread and grown more bitter, and by
the strike of the coal miners.
The year opens with fewer failures than
anticipated, and with fair business for the
season at all points reporting The money
market is generally easier. Next to the iron
industry, which hesitates, woolen manufac-
ture seems to have been the most uncertain.
Raw material declined about cent in De.

coarse wool yields the least and the
largest decline has been in fine
fleece Estimates of the
clip vary widely. Cotton manufacture is ex-
ceptionally prosperous. The window>glass
business prospers, with an advance of so per
cent. in the prices of last year. Foreign
trade continues large, But for the miners

outlook would be more favorable than for
many weeks past.
