ment therefore the net cash IN vaults ana banks

made chiefly in gold certificates, but there was
further small increase in the stock of gold specie.
The principal changes i'll the vault balances
were made as follows: A loss in the gold balance
OF SS,277,4ls by al increase of S3,0G',l3O IN the
volume of outstanding certificates, less gam %
SG9O032 in coin and bullion. and gain IN tie

Over Fifty Victims.

A fearful explosion occurred at the Ranl-
furlon. colliery, Wigan, England, and not
less than fifty lives have been lest. The
men went To their work as usual in the
morning after the colliery had been in
spected in the usual way. They had not
been at work lon, when a terrible explO-
sion shook the earth and IA cloud OF smoke
shot up through TIE shaft. A multitude
OF people rush ID toward the mine and the
greatest excitement prevailed 1t was soon
ascertained that a large number had per-
isbed and the wai!ins and weeping OF
women and children MADE an indcscribab Bile
scene. 1t is believed thas. the explosion
was cInsed by accumulated coal gas which
had escaped the notice OF the official
charged with the inspection OF the mine.

there is no truth whatever In the story that
Mr. Blaine /, dying The Doctor says that,
so far as Mr. Blaine's condition being crti.
cal the fact Is that when he left his pa
tient Mr. Blaine was sitting up in bed,
fee ing very comfortable, and there has
been little cause for alarm. This state
ment Of Mr.. Rlainc's condition received
confirmation from MIR J. Manley. Of Au-
gusta, Nc. his close friend, Who before
leaving Washington had chat with
the en- Secretary. and said that he left him
discussing plans for going away to some
point not yet determined The rumOrs as
to Mr. Blaine being very low are supposed
to have arisen from TIVE fact that his
daughter. Mrs. Damrosch has come from
New York to see him, and are believed to
have originated in New York. Mr. Blaine's
case no longer yields readily to treatment
and the fear is becoming general that he is
suffering from some severe organic trouble

LARGE GOLD EXPORTS.

Much Apprehension Caused in the Srecu-

4. G. Dun & Co S weekly res lev OF trade
says:
The shipment Of more than $1,000. 900 gold
to Europe has caused .ome natural appre-
henSion in speculative markets 1t Is true
that the gold is demanded by Austria under
such circumstances that an cNceptlt nal
premium is paid f + ii. but neither Austria
nor any other c. uatry could draw gold from
the United States ut present unless there
were heavy sale, of American securities by
foreigner. The exports of breadstuffs,
cotton. provisions, cattle and petroleum
in November amounted To S.2G69. 500. indi-
eating aggre cate exports of about $4,000.
600 u month and an excess of merchandise
exports over imports not less han s2o.oG0,-
600. At the same time silver has been
going ahro I'd In large amounts, 1t IS clear
that unless securities had been moved this
way in unusual amount. gold could not be
taken abroad in the settlement of interna- =

troduced George L. Chance president of

welcome. In his remarks he deprecated
the condition of the workingman in Penn
sylvania by reason of the low wages paid.
ard said the laws of the nation and State
are partly responsible According to a judge
OF the Supreme Court. trades unions are
tyrannies, while the reasonable act of the
Carnegie corporation in making upon
the state was perfectly justifable. 1t is
possible that through the blood of the men
who died On the banks OF the Moncns ahela
last July may come Il realization of the true
condition Of affairs and that the legisla-
ton of the future will be in favor OF the
muses. rather than for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
OF the few. He called upon the dele-at

Your Health.

The citadel of life must be guarded
at two points. In the first place,
there is the danger Of taking cold.
We take cold through the skin. and
this affects the kidneys and the
lungs. SO intimately are these Or
gans connected, that Il cold affects
both of them. In order to relieve
the system. they should both be
treated, or. rather, the whole system
should be regulated. This is done
by REDS GERMAN Cough AND KID
NEY CURE. 1t acts as Il stimulant
and restores the organs to action.
The other weak spot is the digestion.
When the food does not digest, i:
accumulates and causes fever, sick
ness and death. The LAXATIVE GUN
DROPS will remove all waste material
from the system, and do it without
pain or gripping. Ask yolr druggiS'
for these remedies, and see that he
gives them to you.
