Time Last Year.
NEW YORK, Dec. A-R. G. Dun
cos weekly review of trade viii say
tomorrow:
Contradictory changes I'm business are
quite i'm ORDER al this season. Neither the
large orders i'm some branches nor the
depression of prices IN others afford
safe indication of the general movement.
Bm the working force does not lessen
more than usual; the demand Tor goods
does not seem 10 diminish. though IN
most Departments 10 is considerably below
the capacity Of the works in operation,
auC the volume of business transacted
is a little larger u comparison with last
year than in November
The detailed reports regarding the chief
industries are not altogether encouraGlns.
Tine iron output increased duinE the
month Of November, and was lbS. lt2 tons
weekly December LIST, against 1850 tons
November LIST. but the increase in stocks
uusold was U1iJ tons, which averages
II 700 tons per week, indicating that the
increase in prOdu CtiOn during the month
OF November was not supported by the
demand for PRODUCTS. Accordingly, prices
have been declining, the general average
of articles quoted being only $40 of the
AVERAGE IN October, 1899, against 7J.t on
the Isl Of December The Pittsburg mar
being quoted at $0l5 and gray forge Of
rercd AT $3.50 ana bar iron selling at ~
cents. but in structural forms the eastern
demand j. sufficiently large to caus,
slight advance in beams.
COTTON goods are dcmordlized 10y some
reduction. and by the announcement of
great auction sale Of 1900 pieces by Bliss,
Fabvan & CO., and the irregularity in
various staples increases, although print
cloths are steady.
Money comes TO New York in large
amounts. making the transfers by the
Treasury to New Orleans look a little
fanciful. and no increase appears in the
demand for commercial loans, except IN
transactions on account Of the sugar
Trust in order TO carry out certain pur-
chase Of gas property in Brooklyn.
Hardly ever has there been as little
call for strictly commercial uses as at this
time Exports of gold for the week
will amount TO $3.JOO,Uu1. and there has
been considerable selling of American Sc
curites on London account. and as long
as this continues the outgo of gold must
be expected.
The failures during the month have
been sweHed by many misfortunes at the
South. apparently due 10 the extreme de
preston i'm cotton, so that the liabilities
for the first week Of December amounted
to si.O36. s66. Of which E.427.il5 were OF
manufacturing; and $2,40l.45l Of trading
concerns, the aggregate for the CORE
spending week last year being SL76l, go.
For the month of November the COM
plete statement OF liabilities covers 81 094. 70
8OG. Of which S2S2593 were Of manufac-
turing; and S76S00JJ were of trading con-
Germs.
The failures Tor the past week have
been $40 in the United States. against 500
last year, and 40 IN Cani ia. against 10
last year.

He Unearthed a Lawsuit.

The inquisitiveness of boy in Allen
town the other day resulted in the find
ing of $500 and will cause lawsuit. The
personal estate of Silas Camp, a rich old
bachelor, who died a month ago, was
sold at auction. Among the goods dis
posed of was an old safe, which was
knocked down for $3.50. The safe had
been used by Camp, but after his death
it was opened by his relatives, and every
thing of value was taken out, as they
supposed. Before the purchasers had an
opportunity to take it away, however, a
small boy worked the combination and
opened the door. While examining the
interior he pulled out private drawer,
and out rolled pile of goldpieces.
When counted, they were found to
amount to nearly 5000. The money was
taken in charge by Camps brother un-
der the protests of the new owners, who
say they will bring suit for the gold.-

Thrilling and Almost Fatal Adventure Of q
PENNSYLVANIA Sportsman.

GcAusyAtsAhAn DAloA e9A-As
Ouicksand swallowed w. A. Finley, a
hotel proprietor of Norristown, Tuesday,
to the waist, and but for the heroic as
sistance Of two friends he would have
met an awful doom.
Finley, William Shine and John Good
win started out to catch snipe and snap
pers. They drove to Fairview and then
started on foot up the Skippack creek,
which flows mile from the town. They
chose this spot for their tour for game
because it is rarely visited. Finley and
Shine waded in the creek searching for
snappers, while Goodwin remained on
the bank cunning for snipe.
Without knowing it, Finley walked
into bed of quicksand. He did not
realize for some minutes the peril he was
In. Rapidly he began to sink, and then
the horror Of the threatened doom con-
fronted him. He tried to lift his feet,
but his legs hNd sunk to the tops Of his
boots in the consuming sand. and the
water touched his waist. Finley pulled
and tugged at his right leg. 1t yielded,
but at the same time his left foot pene-
trated deeper and deeper into the nys-
terious substance. Then he reversed his
efforts and with all his strength pulled
at his loft leg. It yielded, but the right
leg went down to an alarming depth.
Finley called to Shine for help, and
the latter responded quickly. He tried
in vain at his own peril to extricate his
friend BY this time the quicksand had
almost swallowed Finley's legs, and the
water was gradually rising and nearing
his shoulders,
Then Goodwin was summoned. The
victim was sinking more rapidly now,
and the water was getting alsrmingly
near his chin. The combined efforts Of
the two friends checked the descent
They tugged for 10 minutes before Fin
ley, utterly exhausted, was pulled from
the quicksand. For curiosity they aft
erward tried to reach the bottom of the
bed with long sticks. The sand was
found to be over six feet deep.

To he Called Elijah.

Children have been admirably drilled
in Bible detail. They know more about
it than three-fourths of their Sunday
school teachers. They have learned the
story of Moses till they can say it 81. pat
as the multiplication table. But do
not find any living interest in Moses.
There is one of the grandest life stories
in history, and they seem to have no
feeling about it. And that need not be
so.
/ remember one of my Sunday school
teachers in Chicago telling me how trou-
bled she had been because she was afraid
she was not making the stories of the
prophets interesting to her boys. But
one day she was comforted, for she heard
from the mother Of one Of them that the
lad had come home the Sunday before,
and after sitting silent awhile suddenly
burst out at the dinner table:

designed to be used in connection with
substations. The auxiliary consists of a
specially constructed chair. The back
of the chair is so made that it will act as
a transmitter, so thai a conversation
may be carried on with perfect ease
while the operator is seated in the chair.
The principle ON which this patent oper
ates is the vibrations produced in the
body of the speaker, which are trans
mitted to the chair back and thence over
the line in the usual manner.
This chair telephone is SO designed
that the chair VIII answer the purpose
of an ordinary office chair. Mr.. Nickel
vey, the inventor, is now making exper-
iments with a view of putting this at
tachment to any ordinary chair now in
use. In devising this telephone Mr.. Nc
Kelvey has departed frdm the usual
paths followed by inventors and has
proceeded along new lines, employing a
bipole nonmetalhc diaphragm in the re-
RES, and an amplifying magnet located
Immediately behind the diaphragm in
the transnitter. This telephone has
been successfully worked over 115 miles
of telegraph wire with earth return, and
it is believed that when further expert
ments are made distance much greater
than this can be successfully WORKED

ulant as it was wise for him to carry,
shouted, " Ere ay'are, cap'en, I'll lend
ye hand" and Immediately proceeded
to put his offer into execution by jump
ing over tho barrier and advancing to-
ward the stage. AS he was clambering
onto the stage he slipped and fell back
ward The matter was referred to two
constables, and the too willing "Jaok
Tar" was removed from the building
without being able to render "the
cap'en" his promised assistance. Pull
