A NARROW RANGE.
Railroad Shares Wind Up Tame After a
Lively Week-The Bank Statement,
Being No Worse Than Expected,

inn Tho f,Insn

ing Mt tho Close.
NEW YORK, September 14-The stock mar
ket to-day was dull and in the general list en-
tirely uninteresting, the fluctuations in none Of
the list extending over range of l per cent,
while the heavy tone which prevailed from the
opening almost to the close was more the result
of professional selling than anything else
The sudden announcement of the new cut in
rates by the Chicago, Burlington and orthern,
together with the general expectation of an un-
favorable bank statement to-day, led to a
marked Indisposition to trade. especially upon
the long side, and while there was no pressure
of stocks for sale outside of the short offerings
of the traders, there was no demand, and the
market naturally became heavy and limited, as
usual under such circumstances.
The opening prices generally showed declines
of from I to H per cent from last nights fig
ures, and the subsequent dealings in the reg
ular list developed no feature whatever beyond
the moderate degree of animation in Louisville
and Nashville Reading and st. Paul. Read
ing. however, reached its lowest price for the
week. In the unlisted department the manipu-
lation in Phoenix Mining was continued and
the price was run up by rapid stages from 40 to
70, whence it reacted to 90 and closed at 65.
The close showed little better tone. the de-
crease in the surplus reserve being no larger
than expected, and while dullness was the
principal feature, the market was steady to
firmness.
Bailroad bonds were quiet and without
special feature and while general firm tone
existed there was considerable irregularity in
the final changes. The sales reached S42l, ,0O0

and aft In the height of the storm II miles
east of Barnegat, the officers of the Molca

vessel looked like a large iron bark. and was in
considerably damaged condition. The fore and
mizzen masts were intact, but her mainmast
was broken off short. The name could not be
ascertained. There was no appearance of life
on board. The huge waves dashed high over

In THE COAL MINES.
Dangers That Surround the Under
ground Toilers.
INTERVIEW WITH A MINER.

To the majority Of the public Of this
country coal mines and coal miners have al
ways been a source of interest When .
traveller, out for a pleasure trip, strikes
town where coal mines are located his first
object is to get permit to visit them. There
is charm Of novelty and excitement at
tached to the trip. To step into the car and
be lowered swiftly down the long. dark
shaft into the very bowels of the earth. A
feeling of exhilaration, not unmixed with
nervous dread, as one shoots downward
wonderful portions Of the work, and gains
only q slight idea of the dangers Of the
mines. Not so with the hardy, smoke-bs-
grimed miner. He is fully alive to the con
slant peril Of his position. Explosions from
fire damp, falling Jumps Of coal, loosened
by blast, and, as is often the case. . cave
in Of the entire tunnel. These are . few Of
the worst enemies Of the underground toll
ers. Mr.. David H. Brown, who resides in
Stowe township, directly back Of CHARTERS,
formerly of Toms Run, is an overseer in the
coal mines of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, and gave the writer an interest
ing account of his experiences as miner.
my trouble began about 13 years ago.
It came on me gradually, and was caused
by colds, contracted from exposure to the
dampness in the mines. My nostrils be-
came clogged up, and 1 could not breathe
through my nose. Ny head was stopped
up, and had dull, heavy pain across my
forehead and in my temples all the time.
There was buzzing and roaring sound in
my ears This condition continued for
long time. Finally my trouble began to sx-
tend, and soon found myself in a very seri-
GUS condition.
