THROUGH RAGING FLAMES
A Number Of Women Narrowly Escape
the Jaws Of Death.

A cable dispatch from London says:
The building occupied by Hoovey &
Sons, diapers, in Sheffield, caught fire
Thursday morning. Sixty % the as
sistants Of the firm were rescued with
difficulty. Five fire escapes were used
to take them frrm the building. The
Efforts OF the firemen to confne the
fire. in the building in which it origin
ated we're freitless and the flames
spread until five other buildings we're
burning.
The assistants Of Hovey & Sons slept
in the building. They were not aroused
until the fire had gained considerable
headway. Then scene of panic fol-
lowed. Many Of the girls would have
plunged from the windows had il not
been for their cooler headed compan-
ions, who held them back. A number
OF them escaped in their night dresses.
They found the passage leading to the
street mass of flames. Without hes
itation they plunged through the fire
and reached the street more or less in
iured Some had their hair and eye
brows burned off and their faces, arms
and legs badly scorched. They we're
attended by physicians and those who
were not so badly hurt cared for by
people in the vicinity. Others were
removed to the hospital.
Those who were rescued by means
Of fire escapes were not injured. An
immense crowd stood by and watched
the fire. The conhagration was the
worst that has visited Sheffield in
many years. The building occupied
by Hoyey & Sons and two other build
ings were completely destroyed. Three
other buildings, one of which was oc-
cupied by Mr.. Horner, dealer in paint
ings and other art works, were gutted.
Many buildings in the vicinity were
badly damaged.

+ him To issue such orders, the
Gre AIRY of the navy is directed to in
iorIn 1.-THE house why these instructions
HsEe hssued to Commissioner Blount,
and furnish copies of all such in
stFueHipns. Mr., Talbot objected and
eskes that the resolution be referred
to tic committee on naval affairs.
Altffl some discussion, the speaker held
thnt was not privileged resolution
and dould not have been received only
by Unanimous consent, and it was
rfter1ed to the committee on
hawai- affairs. Mr.. McLeary re-
ported from the committee on
foreign affairs resolution as sub
stiiute for those introduced by Mr..
BeuteH and Mr.. HIT. Mr.. McCreary
deslred to make personal statement.
Mr.. Beutelle rose to parliamentary
inquiry. Several members rose to
make points of order, but the speaker
held that no point of order could be
made during call of the committee
for reports. Mr.. Reed rose to a par
lismentary inquiry, and Mr.. Boutelle
stated TINT serious error had been
made; but the speakesSaid that no de-
bate was in ORDER an< directed the
seargeaat at arms to seat all members.
Mr.. Reed said this reported resolu-
tion. IL it went to the calendar, would
lose its privilege, and he did not be-
heve that the house could be deprived
of its right to examine this matter.
Mr.. Boutelle said the speaker had pre-
viously ruled TINT this was privil-
eyed question and if the speaker
nov held that such privileged ques-
tons could be placed upon the calen-
dar, would give to the chair absolute
authority over the consideration of all
privileged questions, even including
that OF impeachment. The speaker
had read precedents showing that any
bill reported from committee during
the morning hour must take its place
on the calendar. After lively dis
cslssion, participated in by thespeaker,
Bohtelle and Reed, the speaker said
that the best way to determine the
rights of this privileged question
would be to ascertain them when the
gentleman called the matter up for ac-
ton. So the resolution was placed
on the calendar. AT 315 O'Clock, the
house, upon motion of Mr.. Holman,
adjourned for the holiday recess, until
january 3rd, 1894.

TRADE TOPICS.
Dun & Co.'s Review Of Business for
N the Past Week.


r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review cf
trade says: 1t is proof of the enor-
nous vitality of the country that while
mills are stopping in every direction
and the army of unemployed is larger
than 1t has been for many years, other
mills are constantly starting up to an
swer the demand, which year Of un-
pfecedented disaster has only
stimulated. Trade still waits as
much a. it can, and yet the vol
ume Of business on q mere hand
to-u1outh basis is such as would have
been calle,l large few years ago. The
fierce struggle of the Pittsburg region
fo< business drives prices to the lowest
poi,it ever known--sl1 for Bessemer
iraE and $40. rs for steel billets-and
takes away nearly al new work from
the east and west, whore depression
increases.
Wheat receipts at the west have
been 3,291 ,S72 bushels, against $685.
BIB the same week last year, and At
lantic exports only 500, 704, against
l,S7V,37S last year, and stocks in
sight increased rapidly, but prices de-
clined cent with sales Of only 4,690,-
0U0 bushels here. Corn receipts we're
very hrge--3, 463, $40 bushels, against
2,Bl,8 800 last year, and exports were
fu9 y maintained, the price yielding !

If years, and prices droop in spite

il Of poor quality. The sugar crop
oilCuba is estimated at 900, 900 tons,
bb prices, as yet, are but fairly
stendy. Cotton receipts have been
very heavy, 7l,00O bales larger than
for the same week last year, with re-
csipts only 100, 900 larger, aud takings
Of northern spinners decreased, but
Hices advanced 3-l6 of cent.
Failures are numerous and large;
3r9 in the United States for tho week,
against 279 last week, and 40 in Can
ala, against 25 last week, but worse
! feature is their Importance. The list
Of the week includes seven banks
With one Of the Oldest private banks
for $500, 900; an agricultural ma
fhinery establishment for 1000, 900,
and mn increase of stocks of $500, 900 I;
o heavy tobacco dealer for $500, 900; a
lumber concern for $3.50, 900, and dry
goods concern for $3.50, ,000--m making

THE people are waking up to the TACT
that good wagon roads are OF great adj.
vantage in the opening up and develop
ment OF new country. In speaking OF
the subject the Spokane Review SAYS:
The people OF Washington and Idaho
are taking hold OF this important mat
ter. Engineers already are locating the
state wagon road that shall connect
north and south Idaho. Not to speak
OF the projected wagon road across the
Cascades in this state, there are many
signs that the subject is a live one in
these parts. For instance, an Organized
effort Is being put forth in the vicinity
of Chehalls Tor new roads, and other
parts Of Lewis county are falling into
line under the road act passed by the
legislature. The business men OF Wilbur
recently held a road meeting, and a. A
result petition for establishing a per
manent road between that town and
Creston Is being circulated, while the
committee having in charge the work on
the extension of the Lyse road report
good progress. The citizens OF FARMING
ton conferred with the people Of Deep
ireek the ether day and agreed to build
The road to Ihe summit, while the rcpre-
sentatiyes Of Deep Creek prsIni-ed TO
build a good road on their side Of the
grade,
The supreme need OF railroads in
new country has to great extent caused /
The neglect shown in the matter Of good
wagon roads. Good wagon roads in and |
about a town do not mean as much a. a |
railroad to the town, but they come
much nearer to equaling the value OF a
ra'iroad than the first thought would
indicate. That the people are waking
up to the road question is evident. and
the more enthusiasm they put into /,
the Sooner will they begin to receive n.
large returns on their investment in I'll.
