A special dispatch to The Evening Sta,
from Camp werts, Sea Girt. N j., Septem.

shooting arithmetic in the Districts end OF
the camp last night. Every one Of the COM
petftors knew that yesterdays scores would
solve the previously unanswered question
as TO who would be On the brigade team OF
1884. Some OF the more deeply interested
men had kept close watch of the practice
ana were full to overlooking with figures,
on which they based all manner of guesses
as to the teams probable composition II

ones that official announcement of the re-
suits would be made before taps sounded.
but 1t was after midnight when the last
place was filled and the order written
The work of selection proved to be ex-
tremely difficult, so close were the aggre-
gates of several of the competitors. 1t was
not the intention OF the team CAPTAIN 10
select the shooting twelve from the records
made IN the five days practice. but as it
turned out the records played a consider
able part in the calculations. Merits and
dement's were carefully considered, but so
close was the contest between three or
four OF the men that the candles in the
headquarters tent were burning at 1 O'Clock
am. The orders were published Mt as

Hacked ThrOuEh the Flames.
Engineer Root saw that there was no out
let apparently for his train ahead and con-
cluded to turn back through the district al
ready burned over, rather than encounter
possibly greater perils before them. He
backed at a fast speed to Skunk Lake. a lit
tie settlement five miles north Of Hinckley,
and the passengers deserted the burning
train at that place, seeking refuge in a
swamp. where they spent the night.
Yesterday morning a relief train from the
north brought them through Hinckley and
on to ST Paul. The relief train carried a
supply Of hand cars. which were used in
picking up the bodies of the dead along the
track. One hundred bodies were picked up
and brought into Hinckley before the relief
train came on to st. Paul with the injured
passengers and trainmen.
Engineer Root lies at his home at White
Bear. too badly injured to be interviewed.
His physician, however, gave the following
as the story told by Root to him:
I'VE could have run through Hinckley
without trouble, but as We approached the
village there were great many people
along the track who had crossed the river
to get away from the fire. / stopped the
train and took on many as could board.
By this time the flames were nearly upon
US. and L started back up the track at full
speed. The tire came at terrific rate, leap
ing along on both sides of the track and
rapidly gaining upon us until we were run
ming in a sea of flames. 1 ran back about
Xix miles till came to a swamp, where
stopped and the passengers scrambled out
and buried themselves in the mud and wa
ter. The cars were all thoroughly ablaze by
this time. and 1t was but a short time be-
fore they were all in ruins, even the tender
of the engine being consumed"
Engineer Root was badly cut by broken
glass; but his worst injuries were from in
haling the hot air and smoke. The physi-
clans hope that his internal injuries NAV
not prove fatal
The party that came through the fires
around Hinckley in the hand car suffered
severely from burns. Their injuries, how
ever. will not prove fatal. They tell many
sad stories of what they saw. One woman
had evidently tried to save her five children

STOCKS AND BONDS.
BY the United Press.

New York, Nov. 30-The published state
ment of President Havemeyer, of the
American Sugar Refining company, an
nouncing that owing TO a lack of orders,
the refineres would be closed led to a
grand rush to sell the certificates at the
opening of business today. An impression
also prevailed that the directors will cut
the January dividend at their meeting
early next week, and this accelerated the
downward movement, There was a tre-
mendous crowd of brokers around the
Sugar post at the opening and nearly ev-
cry one of them appeared to have selling
orders and the stock was depressed 10
SS1s, after which, under purchases to
cover short contracts. a recovery to 8iA
ensued. In some quarters there was
disposition to criticise President Have
meyer, and 1t was stated that his action
at this time was due mainly to desire to
influence congress and head off the move
ment to place sugar on the free list. In
dependent reiiners however, assert that
the business has been anything but profit
able of late and that Hayemeyer was just
| ified by trade conditions in closing up the
refineres. Dstillers was another weak
| spot In the early trading, and on the an

| tion the price dropped from to ~. Chi

BUSINESS OF THIS week
Dun Says That Some Exports Of Gold
May Be Expected.
CERTAIN INDUSTRIES ACTIVE
Upon the Whole. Is Increasing, but
Prices Arc Not What They
Ought to he.
By the United Press.


New York, Nov. SO.- The complete
success of the government loan has not,
says Dun perceptibly effected business,
nCr prevented an advance of foreign
exchange near to the exporting point.
Some exports of gold are not improba-
bic. Meanwhile domestic trade and in
dustiy have not been little influenced
by the heavy defalcation in one bank
and minor disorders in two others. nor
by the failure of the Erie railway to
meet interest on its bonds. The close
of sugar retineries will diminish the
industrial force more than it Is in
creased by the resumption Of the Beth
lehem Steel works and a few other
concerns. The controlling fact is that,
although in two instances wages have
been increased, the earnings of the
working force and its purchasing
power are not on the whole enlarging
at present, and prices of the chief farm
products do not materially improve.
Stock Market Is Disappointing.
The stock market disappoints those
who reckoned on Improvement after the
sale of bonds. The average for railroad
stocks has declined 30 cents per share
and for trust stocks $l.99. The great in
dustries fairly maintain the production
previously reported, but cannot be eX-
pected to increase at this season. A
few more iron works have gone into
operation, and the demand Is reported
larger, but there is distinct weakness in
prices, especially at Pittsburg, and bes-
semer iron, billets, nails and some
structural forms are quoted lower. The
rail combination has agreed to reduc-
tion OF 50 per ton for the. next year.
Coke contracts are being made at cur
rent rates. The shoe industry continues
to do remarkably well for the season,
and the prospect for the spring business
is fairly good.
In textile manufactures there Is more
strength in print clothes, but other cot
tons are somewhat irregular and
weaker, and the wooden manufacturers
still receive some orders for winter
goods. Money commands better rates
since the sale of bonds but there is
scarcely any improvement in CONNER
cial or industrial demands and the flow
of currency hitherward is as large as it
has been at any time since September.
The failures this week have been in
the United States 2S9 against 27l last
year, and in Canada Sc against As last
year.
