KiIled BY Failing Rock.

MERTzTowN, Pa, April IA fall Of
rock In the Nindley ore mines, at Farm
ington, three miles north of this place,
resulted IN the death of one employe,
Richard Ettinger, and the narrow es-
cape of seventeen others. The shaft i
about 125 feet deep, and all of the
miners were more or less covered with
rock and debris. Ettinger's body was
found under great mass of ore. Some
Of the other employees were badly
bruised, but none had any bones broken.
The accident caused great excitement in
the vicinity. as it was believed that al
least dozen persons had been crushed
to death. The escape Of all the miners
except Ettinger was miraculous.

not spar, not boat nor any ether thing
belonging to the abandoned steamer has
been seen. though when last seen the
ship was directly in the path Of the

Possibly at the Azores.
1t is now thought that perhaps the
Helvetia. of the National line, which
was due here Monday, has been the res
cuer Of the Dannark, and that she has
put into the Azores or Bermuda with

prevailing westerly and aoSthwesterly
winds seeming to point to this course.
There IS no. accommodation between.
the Acres and the rest of the world ex-
cept by a mail steamer which sails twice

steamer to sail from Fayal, the chief
port of the Azores, left that port ON the
18th. and it is a FIVE days trip to Lisbon.
Hence, if tile people on the Danmark
We're taken off and landed safely at
Fayal, no news Of that fact would reach
New York before Saturday or Sunday
next.
Then, too, there are nine islands in the
Azores group, and should the people
from the Danmark be landed on one of
the others it might be some days before
Fayal was informed of the fact.
These are the points upon which the
friends of the emigrants and Funch,

their hopes of the ultimate safety of the
Danmark's passengers.

t'alnls. a farming hamlet lying midway

was tire scene OF a horrible tragcdy.
Joseph KIM, wealthy, wsll known
citizen. IS ysars OF age, was shot and
killed BY Eagar King. his eldestson and
the house nscd and burned.
Mr.. King was lying asleep in bed, and
his wife, who had not undrcssed, was on
a sofa in the same room. It was about
2 o'clock that she was awakened by re.
volver shots. The son had stolen in
through the sitting room and without
word aimed closely and fired three shots
into the body Of his fathcr. Death was
instantaneous. The sons only reply tc
his mothers plcadings was to send foI
Clarke lie then vainly endeavored tc
enter the room occupied by his two
aunts, Mrs. Tuttle and Mrs. Moore.
Fires tho House.
Failing in this he retired to the wood
shed, setting fire to the house, after which
he disappeared. The screams of the
women called the neighbors in. First on
the scene was Horace Clapp, farm
hand. In response to requests Of Mrs.
King, he entered the house and removed
the dead body. Then the fight came
with the flames, and it was only by mira
culous efforts that the barn was saved.
The whereabouts of the murderer was un.
known until about three hours later
when revolver shot back of the house
attracted the attention of those who were
near the smoking ruins. Quickly run
ming to the spot they found the muir.
derer, who was now also a suicide, lying
in pool of blood. The revolver with
which his work had been done was lying
by his side. The remains of lunch were
lying near by, and sticking ina tree was
a butcher knife receptEE snarpenea. The
man was taken to a house near by, where
the body ysof his father had been. placed,
and died in an hour. The two bodies
were viewed by the medical examiner
from Westfield. That of the son was
buried~ IN the manner requested in his
manuscript. A pine box only was used.
No members of the family attended.
Demented by Dissipation.
The cause of the crime is traceable to
an unbalanced mind .caused by dissolute
habits. The murderer and suicide had
planned for the deeds he committed A
few days ago he gave to Charles Clark a
sealed manuscript, which he requested
him to keep and not open until some
time in the future, saying he would soon
go away and that the letter would reveal
why he went and where he would be.
The papers were read and reveal the de
termination of Edgar to kill his father
and also his aunt. The final act was tC
be his own death. All this, with one ex
ception has been done.
Edgar was once in partnership in the
business Of making whips. was worth
considerable property, and was married.
Six years ago his wife procured q
divorce on the ground of drunkenness,
When his property was gone he led bad
life and got what money he could from
his father until the latter refused to give
him any more.

FINANCE AND MINING.
Lead Declines a Dime During
the Week.
THE COMING SILVER CONVENTION
Ore and Bullion Output-Utah and Idaho
Mines-The Heavy Volume of
Business Continues.

The one important event of this week
will be the meeting of the ore producers,
smelters, refiners, dealers, transporters
and all interested in the prosperity Of the
mining industry, which will be held at the
headquarters of the Utah Ore-Producers'
association, on Wednesday next, at 10 a. m.
The objects for which this meeting will be
held are as follows Ito decide upon
ways and means to gain by united articn
the protection of the great lead mining in
dustry, to which it is by law entitled, but
which is withheld from it by the recent
ruIiaa5 Of the treasury department. ITO
consult and determine what united action
shall be taken by the lead-mining states
and territories with regard to the National
Silver convention to be held in st. Louis
on the Goth inst. 1t is thought by some
that the silver convention at ST. Louis
offers favorable opportunity for the mine
owners of the territories to present their
claims and their reasons therefor; others,
however, express contrary views, and the
matter will form one Of the themes for dis
cussion. II is important that delegates
from all committees interested in the pros
perity Of lead-mining industry should be
present, either in person or by proxy, and
the ASSOCIATION would be pleased to have all
delegates who may be on sheir way to the
silver convention to attend the preliminary
meeting in this city. All will be wei
coined, full and free discussion being in
vited.
Business during the week has held its
own, and the volume continues away in ex-
cess of previous years at the same period.
Holiday trade in some classes of goods
may be said to have fairly begun, and the
next week or ten days will see marked
increase.
Real estate sales during the week past
have abated not whit, and the prospects
for the future are bright and encouraging

TIE Mining Field in Idaho.

A new era in mining seems to have set in :;
wild, speculative ideas are not so preva-
lent. Mines are no longer regarded as fab
ulous affairs of luck and chance, but under
the new regime capital is seeking them as
safe and remunerative investments The
practical and conservative miner Of today,
says the Spokane Falls Reuter-, not only
very closely estimates the available
amounts and value, but so closely considers
the favorable and unfavorable conditions
as to keep success within an approximate
certainty, and works mines for their con-
tents and not for their credit.
1t is very gratifying to reflect that to the
many great mines owned and managed in
this city, not any of the stock is for sale or
held at fictitious prices. The investigating
public may congratulate themselves on
this fortunate turn of affairs; it is wide
departure from the Comstock days, when
enterprises were conducted to ''work''
gullible people instead Of the mines. The
wild cat'' stock iobbing miner has no op
portunities here. The presumptive expert
toe, is becoming thing of the past, and it
is seldom now that an individual with a
gift Of CAB, a few technical terms and a
blase front influences capital in the invest
ment of mining enterprises.

sugar trust and the exposure and proposed
reorganization in cotton oil, are hopeful
signs.
Speculation in wheat was temporarily
stimulated by an unofficial publication by
Mr.. Dodge, the government statistician,
putting the probable yield at ass, 100000
bushels. Whether the paper had left his
hands before the official returns indicating
larger acreage and yield were made up,
no one seems to have asked. But the low
est estimate would leave the supply for ex-
port much beyond the largest foreign de-
mand in recent years.
1t can only be reckoned sign of i'm
provement that wool has yielded about one
cent per pound, since the concession has in
duced considerable buying. Manufactur
ers hold that no advance is possible in
heavy woolens, and have bought little ex
cept at reduced prices.
The returns from all interior points are
decidedly encouraging, showing an excel
lent trade in progress, fair collections, and
an ample supply Of money. Exceptions
are that money is close at per cent. at
Chicago, and a little closer at Cleveland,
but easier at Philadelphia, and that collec-
tons are retarded at Atlanta, planters hold
ing back cotton, and in the grocery, drug,
and branches of the dry goods trade at
Philadelphia. Partial failure of the cotton
crop in northern Alabama, and reports of a
general ehP!nkage of 81 per cent. in the
Memphis region, account for some local
shrinkage in trade. At Pittsburg, the iron
works are all busy, and window glass has
advanced per cent. At Boston retail
trade is lively, but colder weather is
wanted: the boot and shoe factories are re-
ported all busy, and sole leather is firm, but
upper is quiet and weak. AT Chicago, ex-
pansion of trade is noted in dry goods,
clothing and shoes, with larger receipts of
most products except wool

Silver and Lead.

The New York market has been firm in
tone, with hardening tendencies. Consum-
ers who have held aloof with the idea of
buying on lower prices have not seen their
hopes realized, and have come in with their
orders. The European markets are re
ported as being firmer. Big shipments OF
Australian silver-lead have arrived in Lon
don lately.
In st. Louis, lead has shown signs Of an
upward tendency, but sales were not large.
In Chicago, sales have been compare
lively heavy, and prices quite frmer.
In Salt Lake, the metal opened at 81. 80,
held its own until Wednesday, then
dropped to $3.50, at which figure il closed

NEWS FROM THE MINES.

At the Office of Mr.. Hanauer, the week
was reported as very good one. In add
ton to our own camps reporting, Nevada
continues to be heavy shipper. Thou
sands of tons of ores from the Sagebrush
state that have heretofore been thrown on
the dump and allowed to lie there because
of the high transportation charges, now
find their way to this city, because of the
reasonable rate made by the three railways
concerned. But it must not be imagined
that low grade ores only come here. On
the contrary, shipments of rich rock are al
most daily made, the mine-owners of
Nevada receiving far better treatment at
the hands of the Salt Lake buyers than
they get elsewhere.
