There was an explosion of gas in the

The French government is inclined

Agercoat colliery, near Manchester,

Edward ME- Blind Accounts.
New York, Dec. 3.-Cyrus w. Field
passed comfortable night and has not
lost any ground since yesterday. The
condition of his daughter, Mrs, Lindley,
still remains very serious, but there has
been no change since yesterday.
Lindley said that Field was somewhat
better, and that he might recover.
Assignee Gould is getting ready a
ley & Co., but it is not yet complete.
He said there was absolutely nothing
new in the case today.
The report that Edward M. Field,
son of Cyrus w. Field, had been re-
which he was incarcerated, is without
foundation. There is no essential
change in his condition.
This evening Cyrus w. Field 10 re-
ported comfortable.
The mystery OF where the money went,
obtained by Edward M. Field, through
a rehypothecation of securities on which
he made loans, and which, in the case OF
Wiechers, had been on deposit, has not
been explained. Aremus II. Holmes
said today that the indications were
that the grain account of the firm would
show profit, while the stock
department showed a losss. This is
surprising to most persons, for the be-
lief was strong that the Field firm was
hit hard by the collapse of the corn
deal. Holmes said all the Union Pacific
securities were located. According to
Holmes, these bonds had lively
time at the hands of Field.
They were sold outright in many
instances, banded between banks and
brokers' offices, and utilized in every
way possible to secure money to keep the
firm going.
S. V. White & Co. will probably lose
$50, 900 by the Field failure.

out last night, Special Officer William
Adams, in attempting to arrest tramp
who was trying to board the blind"
baggage car, was shot, and it is feared

passed, and the party who is supposed
to have done the shooting was the only
one of the three who succeeded in
boarding the train. The two men now
in Jail came to Tulare on a special
close behind the express train. They
say the third party was bound east via
Mojave. The officers have a good de-

to effect his capture. The physicians

In An English Bedroom

Bedrooms are not usually nearly so.
comfort ably furnished in England as
are ours, says The Ladies Home
Journal. 1t is quite unusual to have
a fire in ones bedroom, and the rock
ing chair, that comfortable solace Of
every American wOman's life, is con-
spicious by Its absence. 1t is not Gus
tomary either TO have gas in the bed
rooms. There is an idea that IL is IN
wholesome, and candles are still
almost universally used, except OH
the parlor and dining-rOom floors. J.
have sometimes thought that
the poor Lighting of the bed
and dressing rooms Of the En-
glish homes, had much to do
in contributing to the dowdy and
unstylish dressing of the women, the
majority OF whom always have their
skirts q little bit crooked, or a petit
coat showing unevenly on one side or
the other. In furnishing q bedroom
the dressing table-used insteaddof
our bureaus-is always put against
a window, so as to catch all the light
possible. This looks odd, both in the
room and from the outside of the
house. You see the implanted backs
of loOking.glasses at the upper win
dows of the handsomess houses, and
even In Marlborough House - the
palace of the Prince of Wales.
