in the stables of the Lehigh mine, at the

man on it, He told how he and BOD
Thompson and Jim Smith, discovered the
fire and started to make their escape. Be
fore reaching the cage, Thompson ana
Smith were overcome by the smoke

nearly exhausted, and finally was Obliged
10 abandon them in order to save his own
life. The other two timbermen escaped by
the old shaft Every effort was made TO
rescue the two men whom O'Brien had
been unable to save, but with 10 avail.
At o'clock this evening the fire had been
gotten under control apparently, but until
the debris is cleared away it IS impossible
to recover the bodies of the two unfortu-
nate men. The mine is owned by the
Gage Coal and Mining company, which
also owns the mine at kreDs, l. l., IN

THE COAL COMBINE.

NEW YORK. Feb. S-Rumors Of q
gigantic deal between the coal producing
companies continue current, and on the
stock exchange there is a belief in the re-
port that an agreement has been made
with an immense syndicate to handle the
immense output and TO pay the owners of
all coal lands 25 cents per ton royalty on
all coal taken out by them, provisions be-
ing made that the syndicate shall have ex-
elusive rights, and that the royalties shall
amount in the aggregate to S1O,0O0,000 per
wear. There is little doubt that this or
some other scheme has been arranged, and
it is certain, too, that the parties on the
inside have been buying the stocks of all
the coal companies for some time, and are
now in "A position to dictate offers to the
various companies for action n accordance
with their plans. 1t is understood that the
syndicate reported To have been formed
will establish joint agencies for the sale OF
coal at the large distributing points, and
that the present system will be abolished.
Trade in coal stocks on the exchange
continued enormous. The brokers doing
an arhitraee business with Philadelphia
were enormous buyers. and made large
profits by selling their purchases instantly
IN Philadelphia, where the price was to
per cent. higher than here. In L4cka-
wanna there was an immense crowd OF
buyers. The price advanced 81 per cent.
and u per cent. was paid for the use OF
the stock for a day in the loan crowd.
Trading III Reading was larger than every
thing else ON the com bined list in the first
hour, and the price advanced per cent.
while the heavy buying was in progress.
IL Is reported that the large bear traders
have been cornered.

ABOR AND WAGES.

MCALESTER, 1. T., Feb. Son Friday
last all the miners employed by the Usage
Coal and Mining company went out on Il
strike ON account of the shot-firers in
mine No IL (the mine in which the late
disaster occurred) wanting more pay. The
company refused TO accede TO the demand
on the ground that the company was doing
only about third as much work as usual,
but promised 20 pay better wages when
work was increased. On Saturday the shot
firers held a meeting and decided to return
to work today. The company in the mean
time posted a notice that all coal would
have TO be mined clear, which caused a
meeting of the miners union and on Sat
urday strike was declared, the miners
refusing to comply with the notice. One
thousand men are out.
ST. JOSEPH, No, Feb. S.-Conlmittees
from the Brotherhood OF Railway Train
men and the Order of Railway Conductors
met here today to formulate demands upon
the Grand Island and the Kansas City, St.
Joseph and Council Bluffs roads. The de-
mands in general are three i'll number:
First, that railway passenger conductors
be paid $125 per month, instead of 500;
second, that freight crews be paid full
time while going out after freight trains,
and, third, revision of the mileage
schedules, so that traiumen may earn
better wages. 1t is believed that the de-
mands of the men will be readily granted
by the management of the roads.

AMERICAN LIVE STOCK EXCHANGE

KANSAS CITY, Feb. Sit is reported on
good authority that the directors of the
American Live Stock association. which
has organizations in all the principle cat
tie markets of the country, is about to dis
solve its present organization FOR the pur-
pose of reorganization on a new basis. The
principal reason for reorganization is said
TO be the desire of the management to get
rid of several troublesome stockholders,
who have opposed the interests of the as
sociatiOn in IFS recent legal battles with
the live stock exchanges of the country.
In order to get rid of them the company
will dissolve the present organization,
liquidate all debts, pay the stockholders
in full, and reorganiZe on a new basis. In
cident TO the reorganization it will be pro-
vded that the conduct of the business
shall in no way violate the rules of the
various live stock exchanges throughout
the country in which it is an advantage
for the company to hold membership.

RAII WAY NOTES,

ST. LOUIS, Feb. S.-The report that the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad is
about to extend its line TO St. Louis is
confirmed The intention is TO organize a
new company for the purpose of obtaining
the necessary charter from the state.
When this is done the franchises can be
turned over to the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas The new corporation will be capi-
taized at S1,0O0,000. The route has not
been fully determined as yet, and the selec-
tion of it will depend on two or three con-
tingencies The Missouri, Kansas and
Texas may enter St. Louis over the route
laid out for the Cleveland, St Louis and
Kansas City, or it may probably take the
St Louis, Kansas City and Colorado off
the hands of the Atchison company. If
satisfactory terms cannot be made for
either OF these plans, then the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Will build its own line
from Sedalia to Bonneville.
BosTON, Mass, Feb. S.--The approx
mated gross earnings of the Atchison sys-
tenn, including the st. Louis and San
Francisco, for January, were s., ,09S, ,S07, an

Great Call for Canned Goods.

New YORK, July 80. The ship Benia-
min F. Packard, from San Francisco. has
arrived here with %, 40 cases of standard
canned fruits, 3,271 cases of Alaska salmon
2,Ol1 barrels of wine, II, 800 bags of lima
beans, etc. Most of these canned fruits,
peaches and apricots, as well as other lots
to come, have been sold while on the pas
sage. The diminished packing prospects
eastward and on the Pacific coast have
aroused strong competition to secure the
surplus of last year, and in view of the
firm advance for new fruit in California,
and the undoubted increase of table wants
tooccur during the Columbian celebration,
picking the heavy blocks and remnants of
1890 has become an active speculation.
Experience has shown that trustworthy
goods may be carried safely in tin for sew
eral seasons. Lima beans continue to ad-
vance regardless of the large offering
which has already come forward this year.
This article was never of wholesale crop
character until California farmers took up
the idea and few garden productions ever
so quickly gained SO strong place in
trade as these wholesome and easily pre-
pared beans. City and rural places call
for them steadily.
