THE MINE DISASTER.

Further Particulars OF the Calamity at
Ashley, Pa.-The Assistant Boss Respon-
sible.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 1.-THE work
OF attempting to rescue the imprisoned
miners at Ashley was interrupted by a
heavy rush of gas at three o'clock yes
terday morning, but at seven o'clock it
was deemed safe to resume the efforts,
and large party of rescuers entered
the slope and commenced work upon
the cave beyond where three men were
found Thursday night. They soon broke
through and rushed into the chamber
beyond where, in the semi-darkness,
the men stumbled over yielding bodies.
A close search revealed six blackened
corpses near the opening, none of them
recognizable. Further along at various
places were found thirteen other bodies,
all more or less burned, but most of them
could not be recognized. The sight was
so horrible that two or three of the
rescuers tainted away.
When the news of the finding of the
bodies became noised about scene en-
sued around the mouth of the slope
which will never be forgotten by those
who witnessed it. A strong guard of
men held back the women who pressed
forward madly to enter the mine.
Half an hour later four men appeared
women tore away the blanket, but only
saw blackened and charred remains.
Other bodies were brought out as fast
as possible and at noon all but six Of
those who were in the mine when the
cave in occurred had been found. These
bodies were conveyed in ambulances to
undertaking rooms and prepared for
burial. The excitement pervaded every
part of the town, and the streets in the
vicinity of the morgue were completely
blocked with people, many of whom
came from other towns.
At one o'clock two more bodies had
been brought out and search for Others
was going on. The body of Michael
Henry, known to be under an immense
pile of debris, may not be found for
several days. John Allen, the assistant
fire boss, who fired the gas, is in
great agony. His face and hands
were but slightly burned, but he had in
hailed fatal after-damp. Anthony
Froine and Robert w. Roberts, the men
rescued, are in critical condition. 1t
is believed they will also die. {
General Superintendent Phillips in an
interview said: ''The men lost their
lives through the negligence of AS
sistant Mine Boss Allen who insisted ON
relighting his lamp in the presence OF
large volumes of gas. Had he not done
so the men now dead could all have been
rescued alive as there was a good cur
rent OF air going through the chamber
where the men had taken refuge after
the cave in had taken place"
Many of the bodies have no heads,
others are entirely nude and most OF
them are mangled and disfgured.
At eight o'clock last evening all
operations at the mines were aban.
doned. There are yet six men in the
fatal chamber.

DuN's REPORT.
Signs of Reaction IN the took Market-En-
couraging Reports From Most Cities

| Signs of Reaction In the took Market-En-
coura ging Reports From Most Cities
Business Failures.
NEW YORK, May 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: The
stock market has rushed ahead until il
has absorbed all the money within reach
and now some signs of reaction appear,
with arlittle.selling by foreign holders.
Substantially the same phenomena have
been observed in wheat and corn and in
the market for pork products. Each has
at command a limited amount of money.
When that supply is absorbed, whether
by accumulation of stocks carried or by
advancing prices, reaction is natural.
The tendency of prices during the
past week has been downward. Wheat
declined cents on sales here of only
"a, 200, 900 bushels, corn IA cents on
sales of - 500, 900 bushels, while oats
are steady. The trade begins to COM
prehend that inside of thirty days new
crop of wheat will begin to come into
the market and while winter wheat is
certain to be short, the reports from
spring wheat States indicate great in
crease in acreage and good condition.
The reports from most cities ere al
most uniformly encouraging. At Phila-
delphia in the leather and boot and shoe
trades there is activity, while the wool
manufacture is hindered by apprehen-
sion of higher prices, and spinners take
for immediate wants only. This is true
of Boston also. The prices realized at
the recent flannels auctions here have a
depressing influence. At Chicago dry
goods sales exceed last years and
payments are fair, but the clothing
trade is dull and the fact that
bank clearings are larger than ever
before finds explanation in speculative
activity in the grain and pork markets.
st. Louis reports good trade and sup
plies of money equal to the demand,
while at Pittsburgh trade is rather dull;
at Cleveland fairly active, causing some
monetary str.ngency; at Milwaukee,
only fair; at st. Paul, improved by re-
cent rains in the Northwest where
drought began to be feared; at Kansas
City, rather quiet and at Omaha good,
with easy money.
The monetary situation at New York
has not been altogether satisfactory.
The foreign trade of the port is more
satisfactory than was expected, showing
an increase over last year of 81, 900, 900
in exports for half of May-more than 40
per cent.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
seven days number 212 as compared
with 2O9 last week For the correspond
ing week of last year the figures were
242.
