REVIEW OF TRADE.

Money Market Very Stringent, While
Enormous Imports Continue - Lare ,
Volume of business - Labor TroublcI
Feared.
New YORK, Aug. 23.-R. G. Dun 6
CO.. Weekly Review of Trade says: The
signs of monetary disturbance which
were noticed in previous reviews were
not misleading. Money loaned on
Thursday at Nllf cent per day pre-
MUM, or about 100 per cent, and most
OF the loans were at a quarter premium.
Money for commercial loans is very
scarce. The obvious and only sufficient
relief is the liquidation of money specu-
lations in stocks, in wheat, corn, oats,
cotton, leather, hides, coffee, wool and
especially in silver bullion, which have
locked up enormous sums. In silver
alone about ten millions have been
locked up to wait for higher prices; in
grain several times as much, and in
other products many millions, while the
condition of the market for securities
was indicated by the fall, averaging
about So per share in single day on
active stocks, when money became
tight.
In addition the enormous imports, in
tended to anticipate the pending tariff
bill, have virtually locked up for an in
definite time many millions paid for
goods and in duties on them. The vol
ume of legitimate business throughout
the country continues large, exceeding
that of last year by ten per cent outside
New York, and the desire to market
products quickly causes greater demand
for currency from the country than
usual.
The iron industry still shows strong
demand fos finished products, with some
stiffening in prices, but the supply of
pig iron is SO large that prices are
shaded in urgency to sell.
The market for wool is dull and prices
little lower, the supply of foreign
goods offered being very large. Reports
from other cities, with very few excep-
tions, indicate that q larger trade than
ever before is in progress, with satisfac-
tory collections and bright outlook.
Crop reports are less discouraging,
though the yield must fall below early
anticipations as to grain. In general,
the condition Of legitimate business is
encouraging, unless monetary pressure
or labor controversies interfere.

| q Railroad Car with Eight Passengers
| Dashes Down Mountain and Is De-
n,oIishcd-Sevoral Killed and Injured.
READING, Pa, Aug. o3.-Shortly be-
torc eleven o'clock Friday morning a
errible accident occurred on the Mount
Penn gravity railroad, mountain route
Jncircling Mount Penn, 800 feet above
the city of Reading. The road was
opened five months ago and has been do
Ing n good business ever since. The
! cars were taken from point on the out
skirts of the city to the top of the NOUN
tain, n distance of FIVE miles. On re-
turning the cars were allowed to go
down the mountain by gravity, by way
cf another route to the point of starting.
| Yesterday forenoon a car containing
bout eighteen passengers was taken
from the station to the top of the noun
| hahn. This consumed about thirty min
ntes. On the top of the mountain there
Is high stone tower where the passen-
gers were allowed to alight and enjoy
the scenery.
| There are different stories as to the
cause of the accident, but it appears
that when the tower was reached, the
point where the gravity point of the
road commences, the engine was de-
tached and the car ran away, while
the passengers were still on board. The
distance to the point of starting is five
miles and it is said that this was COW
cred by the runaway car in about three
minutes, the car attaining an estimated
speed OF eighty miles an hour. 1t re-
NAMED on the track to the foot of the
plane, going around all the curves,
while the passengers shrieked in their
fright and several jumped of.
AT the foot of the plane the car jumped
the track and landed upside down at the
bottom of a ffty-foot embankment,
with the passengers imprisoned within
the car. Doctors and ambulances were
hurriedly sent for. Four persons were
taken out dead and number injured.
Among the killed were Charles Rettew,
aged fifty-fve, conductor of the car Ed
gar NJ. Levin, an attorney of this city;
Miss Rosa Pfeiffer, young lady of this
city, and Miss Harriet Hinrle, of Phila.
delphia.
Miss Hiram Schiller and Mrs. w. A.
II. Schmel are fatally injured. Among
the others injured are Sallie Bye and
Mary Guthrey, of Wilmington, both
badly injured, and Willie Schmel, of
this city, both legs broken.
superintendent c. NJ. Dechart gives
as the cause of the accident the refusal
of the brakes to work properly. 1t was
a new brake and was being expert
mented with. The car was splintered
into kindling wood, and the escape of a
single passenger is miraculous.

HoUsroN, Tex, Aug. 25.-There is
every reason to believe that strike

of them were reinstated. The engi-

NOT A WHEEL MOVING.

Engineers and Firemen at the Chicago
Stock Yards Strike, Causing q Freight
Blockade.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-The engineers and
firemen on the Stock Yard railroad sys-
tenn, forty of each, went out on strike
Friday morning. Not wheel is string
on the road and the freight is at stand
still on sidetracks. The men demand
an increase from 2s to 80 cents an hour
for engineers and from 16 to 20 cents for
firemen. Another grievance is the re-
fusal of the company to so arrange the
Sunday business of the yard that the
men can have regular and convenient
recreation hours, at least for that one
day. The officials of the road say the
men are boing paid higher wages than
any other system in the city and that
they had no good cause for complaint.

There is great excitement among
the Kickapoos over the discovery of q
petrified body supposed to be that Of
War Eagle, q leading chief of the
tribe who died many years ago, short
ly after the tribes return from Old
Mexico. Instead of the remains be-
ing deposited in the ground in . cof-
fin they were placed in an upright
position in large hollow tree, there
to await the happy hunting days, as
the Indians believe. During the rage
of fierce forest fire the trunk of the
tree was consumed by the flames. A
party of Indians who were passing
thro' the woods stopped to light their
pipes; when the image of an Indian
warrior, with tomahawk in hand, was
discovered underneath the ashes Of the
burning tree.
The scene which followed is de-
scribed as being most remarkable.
The Indians were scared so badly that
they lost all self. control and a regular
panic ensued, the Indians rushing
madly through the woods aud yelling
at the top of their voices. AS soon
as word could be communicated to the
remaining members Of the tribe, some
200 in number, a hurried consultation
was held, at which il was decided that
the reservation should be Immediately
abandoned.
Luckily some of the more civilized
members of the tribe had influence
enough to alley the feeling of fear,
and the plan of desertlon was not car.
