Speculation Broadened and There Was
 an Improvement in Prices.


 New York. Aug. Misrepresentation al the Stock Exchange broadened to-day, and the tendency was in the direction of improvement. The industrials were less prominent in the dealings. al- though. with the exception of Chicago Gas. they maintained their recent gains. The Vanderbilt stocks forged to the front. and for the first time in months were the real leaders of the market. The activity developed in these issues imparted n iirmer tone to the dealings and lead to heavy purchases for both accounts. Burlington and Quincy really started to-day's rise. the stock having opened < per cent. higher at 76A. This frightened the shorts. and their pur- chases resulted in u further rise to IS.
 This unexpected move in the grangers forced short interest in the Vanderbilt group into covering. and In short time Lake Shore bounded up AZ to lS9. New York Central 1H to 1O2is, Big Four to 4lh. Canada Southern 19s to 52S and Michigan Central lh to 99ia. There was also a better demand for the Nick el Plate issues. and the common moved up l1a to 16h, second preferred IF to 90. and the first preferred to 6S. In the last named only 200 shares changed hands There was no new reason assigned for the buoyancy in the railway list, and operators are still basing their trades on the idea that the German tariff bill will become law in which event they look for much bet ter condition of affairs in financial and commercial circles. The fact that a large short interest exists, which is at- tested by the premiums demanded for the active issues, is of material assist ance to the manipulators.
 In the industrials Sugar, Distillers,  General Electric, Lead, and Leather were all in request, but Chicago Gas showed signs of extensive liquidations. The market closed strong, with an ad- vancing tendency. In the active stocks Manhattan rose IFS to 121, Consolidated Gas 2A to 127,and Delaware and Hud- son 21s to 1361s. The active list gained 1s to 35s per cent. for the day.

Mayor HarrisOn's SLAYER.

According to q dispatch, Judge
Chetlain has made an order fixing the
inquiry into the sanity of Prendergast,
the slayer of Mayor Harrison, for May
81. The defense insisted ON the case
being tried before a jury on the regu-
lar venire, and to this the states attor-
ney stoutly objected. He insisted that
a special venire should be made, rs he
wanted "men of intelligence" to try
the case, not the kind of men to be
found on the regulation jury.
When tn" hearing came up before
Judge ChetIain it was agreed that
only one continuance should be made,
and that one long enough to provide
for the full hearing of the case. The
state asked for four months, and the
defense for two weeks more. The trial
of the case was reckoned to take A
moNth, and consequently the dates OF
May q and July 2 were agreed upon.

A FATAL EXPLOSION.
Eleven Prominent Citizens Killed
at Petersburg, Va
A Number Of Factory Girls Escape
Just Before the Second and
Fatal Explosion.

PETERSBURG, VA, April 7,-Messrs.
Charles N. Romaine and John B,
Bland, manufacturers and members
of the city council, and Capt. James
T. Tosh, a prominent citizen, were
killed this afternoon in an explosion
at the fireworks factory of Romano
Bros. Chief Engineer Edgar Farley,
of the fire department, was fatally in
jured. Seven other persons were
killed, among them being Thomas
and James Roland, Edward Baylor
and his brother.
The killed are Charles N. Romano.
Capt. James T. Tosh, John B Bland,
James Rowland, Robert Rowland,
William Traylor, Edward Trsylor,

The injured are: Edgar Farley,

Wells Charles Short. Walter Nun.
nally, E. Stith Bensley, Charles Elm.
DRY, Samuel Drewry, colored.
The explosions were distinctly
heard over a mile, and were caused
by fire breaking out in the fireworks
factory Of G. N. Romano & Bro. in
Blandford. The fire originated in the
building where powder for whistle
bombs was made The flames spread
rapidly, and quickly communicated to
the other building used for the man
ufactnre of fire works, and there were
frequent small explosions. 1t as re-
ported that There was large quantity
powder stored somewhere. exactly
where no one appeared to know, and
this had the effect of keeping back q
large proportion of the crowd from
venturng too near the fire.
On the opposite side of the street
from the fireworks building was the
trunk factory OF Romano Bros, and
close by was the large brick tobacco
factory of Bland Bros. & Wright, and
an old whiskey distillery, now unused.
ALI of these buildings, with stock and
machinery, were burned to the ground,
as was also large quantity of lum-
Der. 1t was impossible to ascertain
definitely what the loss by fire will be,
but it is estimated that the total loss
can not be less than SIS 900 or 100000,
partially covered by insurance.
There were three explosions. The
first was a small affair AS soon as it
occurred Messrs. Romano, Bland and
Tosh rushed into the drying room,
and there the second and fatal explo-
sion occurred, and they were killed.
A number of girls employed in the
fireworks factory escaped just before
the second explosion.
A public meeting will be held to-
morrow at the academy at the call
of Mayor Collier.

Spy lie CarOn Not Dead.

LONDON, April THE Admiralty
and Horse Guards Gazette says that
report is current that Maj LeCaron
the British spy who was 80 promi-
nently connected with the prosecution
Of the late Chas Stewart Parnell and
who was announced to have died re-
Gently in this city, is not dead. The
Gazette adds that rumor has It that
LeCaron is now en- route to one of the
most distant colonies, under govern
ment officers protection.
1t is added that this disappearance
of the British spy is due to the fact
that the detective who have been
guarding LeCaron ever since he was
brought so strongly into public notice
dicovered some time ago that Fenian
plot having its ramification in New
York and other American cities exist
ed with the object of killing him.
When informed of the danger to
which he had been exposed, LeCaron
is said to have petitioned the British
government to enable him to leave
England for some distant portion of
the queens dominions where he would
be safer from the vengeance of the
Fenians Prominent Irishmen who
were questioned upon the subject of
Maj, LeCaron's alleged disappearance
said that they would not be astonished
if the report circulated by the Admir-
atty and Horse Guards Gazette was
true, but that they claim to know ALSO
lutely nothing about the alleged
Fenian conspiracy to kill the British
spy.
A body supposed to be that of Maj.
LeCaron was buried today in Norwood
cemetery. The registrar OF deaths ridi-
cules the idea that LeCaron is not dead
and that he is on his way to some dis
tant colony.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
n Beautiful Virginia Girl Bitten by
Mad Dog.
1t Took Strong Hands to Held Her OH
Her Death Bed, and the End
Was Appalling.

ROANOKE, VA, April 6.-Some time
last January dog belonging to G. /.
Canaday, who lives on Craig road near
Salem bit two or three children slight
ly. His daughter, Miss Annie Laurie,
beautiful girl, aged 90, was also bit
ten in several places by the same dog,
which was then killed without any one
inquiring as to whether or not it was
rabd. The wounds were cauterized
and in time healed. Nothing more was
thought of the matter until yesterday
morning, when DR.. O'Wiley was sent
for by Mr.. Canaday.
Arriving at the house, the doctor
ascertained that Monday Miss Cana
day had been unable to sleep; that
she was respondent and nervous,
something unusual with her, and that
during the morning, when her father
had brought bowl of water to her
bedside, she had been seized with a
terrible paroxysm. After rallying she
rested somewhat and then asked for q
toothbrush and mug, which were hard
ly brought in sight before she was
again seized with violent convuleions,
this time requiring to be held. And
so on through yesterday these parox-
ysms, fearful to behold, kept recurring,
during which her strength became
wonderful and it required strong
hands to hold her Nor could she
swallow, though her thirst was excess
i've. In her calmer moments she was
resigned to her fearful fate. and touch
ing the wounds on her arms, ex-
claimed
"Perhaps it is for the best; these
will be the means by which I will soon
be in heaven
DR.. O'Wiley and DR.. Shanks did all
that their skill could suggest to re-
lieve her sufferings, but she herself
knew that her case was hopeless and
this morning in answer to her ques-
ton, DR.. O'Wiley told her there was
no hope and she seemed resigned, A
little later she prayed with her pastor
and then remarked to some friends
that che had only a few hours to live.
Just before her death, which occurred
at l 20 o'clock this afternoon, the fam
lily assembled around her bedside
while her brother, Prof. G. B Canady,
of Roanoke College, led in prayer.
Her death occurred during one of the
terrible spssms of pain, and when the
doctors returned from the house they
said she seemed as one who had been
asphyxated.
A subscription is being taken up at
Salem to send the children who were
bitten by the same dog to the Pasteur
institute, New York, for treatment.

The I.TOmb Of Cain"

The early traditions concerning the
city OF Damascus are curious and in
teresting, even though untrustworthy
and contradictory. BY some of the an.
cient writers it was maintained that
the city stands on or near the site of
the garden OF Eden, and just outside
there is beautiful meadow IF red
earth from which, it is said, God took
the material from which he created
Adam. This field is called Ager Da
mascenus, and near It's center there
formerly stood pillar which was said
to mark the precise spot where our
first parents was created. A few miles
out there is an eminence called the
Mountain of Abel, supposed by some
to be the place where the first two
brothers offered their sacrifices, also
the spot where the first murder was
committed. The most interesting spot
pointed out, however, is about three
leagues from the city, where an old
ruin is shown which all the orient oe.
lieve to be the tomb of Cain. The ira
dltions respecting this famous spot
are known to antedate the Christian
era by several hundred years. Up to
the time of Vespasian the interior of
the tomb is said to have been lighted
and warmed by one of the "ever burn
ing" lamps so commonly used by the
ancients.-St Louis Republic,
