SOME UNACCOUNTED FOR
And Thought to Have Perished in the
Names--Some Other Bad
BlaZes..

ALBANY, NJ Y, Jan. 1.-Four ragged
walls and a mass Of s~mouldering ruins
mark the site Of the Delavan House.
About $50 of its guests, thankful
that they escaped, though only with
the clothes on their backs, are quar-.
tered at the other hotels. The police
are unable to account for eight persons,
two maids and six guests, who were in
the Delavan hotel before the fire. They
say that while it is possible that these
persons may now be in some hotel, it is
quite probable that their bodies are
hidden in the ruins.
The fire started at $3.50 and before an
alarm could be given the hotel was
filed with smoke, the flames shooting
up the elevator shaft with fearful en-
ergy. Up the stairway shot another
column and very soon the whole in
terror
Wa q Settling Mass.
Within 10 minutes after the first
note Of alarm at least IL persons were
dangling on the insufficient rope fire
escapes or hanging on to the window
stills. The department. arrived quickly,
but it took some time to get ladders up
and in the meantime some of the
people had dropped to the street. On
the right side of the building there ap-
peared at a window q man and a
woman. The man had hold of the
woman trying to persuade her to wait
for help, but she broke away and
sprang out. She struck q balcony and
rebounded to the street. The man
waited for a ladder and was taken
down in safety. His name was H. A.
Foakes and he represented a cash
register company in Dayton, O. The
woman was his wife and she will
probably die.
The department. with nine streams
of water pouring into the building,
could do absolutely nothing at all to
stop the onslaught Of the flames and
the only WORK was to save surrounding
property. The hotel takes in the en-
tire block, about 10 by $50 feet and
this was, in Is minutes,
A Settling Cauldron
only bound by the four walls. The
Delavan House was built 30 years age
and was one Of the most famous hotels
in the country. The total loss is esti
mated at $500, 900, with an insurance
of $500, 00O.
At 1890 the east walls fell in ant
some OF the fremen narrowly escaped
being buried. At 1880 the Broadway
wall fell out and one fireman wa:
buried in the debris. He was take1
out and is not thought to be danger
ously hurt.
The Delavan House was famous
throughout the country as p%olitica
headquarters for New York state, ant
has been the center of all the big events
in that line for the past 40 years.

THE TRADE OUTLOOK,
Cotton Goods Go up While Other Ar
uicIes Go Down.

NEW YORK, Oct. II r.. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of. trade issued
Saturday says:
The price barometer gives indica-
tions that are not entirely favorable.
Cotton goods go up with increasing
evidence that the cotton crop is short.
Prices of other manufactured pro-
ducts, of wool, hides aud leather, all
show some decline, a general abate-
ment in new orders being the princi-
pal cause With an immense volume
Of business, not much exceeded in the
largest month of the exceptional year
1892, and with evidence that in sever
al important branches the volume has
surpassed that of any previous year,
there is growing uncertainty about
the near future of Industries. Money
markets are neither strained nor
threatening, foreign exchanges no
longer raise apprehension, and all
offers about the great northern crops
are past. There have been few ad
vances in wages of labor within the
past month, and only a few work
have been closed by strikers for an
advance. The cotton manufacture
is peculiarly favored by the rise in
materials and by the extraordinary
stocks of cotton brought over from
last year, but goods are also advanc-
ing, those quoted last week now aver
aging 80 8, against 81 5 per cent. of the
prices of 1890
Failures for the week have included
two banks and several concerns of
some size and have been 26S in the
United States, against 231 last year,
and 81 in Canada, against 43 last year.

NEW BICYCLE INVEN fION.
An Important Attachment Invented by
n Salisbury Man.

AS the bicycle "craze" is still On in
the Twin City, any thing pertaining to
the wheel can be termed Of local in
terest, hence the publication Of the
following new invention by Mr.. j. G.
McNaughtOn, of Salisbury, who has
applied for a patent on a new bicycle
attachment invented by himself. A
model of bicycle with the attach
ment fixed to it has been made by Mr..
McNaughton.A All who have seen it pro-
nounce it very valuable invention.
The attachment is in the shape Of an
eagle, will be a handsome ornament
to the wheel, and answers the pur-
pose of a mud protector, a ladies skirt
protector, brake to stop the wheel
and support to keep it standing
when stationary. The breast and
neck of the bird form the mud pro-
tecGor, the wings the skirt protector
and the legs and claws the brake and
support. The latter are movable and
are worked by lever under the hau-
die bar By pulling the lever the
claws of the eagle are thrown ON the
ground, keeping the wheel upright
and enabling the lady rider to get in
the saddle and arrange her skirts as
easily and conveniently as in buggy.
She can then reverse the lever and
start the wheel, the breast and neck
catching the mud from the rear wheel
and wings keeping her skirts from
catching in the chain wheel and also
preventing their being blown about
by the wind. Should she desire to
stop and speak to any one the brake
can be put on and the wheel at once
stops, remaining upright, and en-
ablIng her to speak without dismount-
ing.
This does away with the old mud
guard and wire screen used on ladies
wheels and adds nothing to their
weight. 1t will also add much to the
pleasure of a lady's riding by giving
her use of the pedals without danger
to her skirts or OF exposure from the
exercise. Mr.. McNaughton claims
that the attachment will do away
with the use of bloomers, and it ap-
pears as if he was right. AT least
bloomers will not be nee sssary where
it IS used.
For mans wheel the only part of
| the attachment used are the legs and
claws, for the brake and support.
/ Their advantages are the same as in
| the lady's wheel, also enabling the
rider To stop and tranact any husi-
ness without dismounting The brake
now used has been SO Injurious to
| tires that it has been discarded. This
attachment does not touch the tire,
avoiding that trouble, and is addi-
| tionally valuable in being support to
| the wheel.
| Nothing of the kind has ever been
| invented before, and it seems that
Mr.. McNaughton has a good thing.
There is nothing unsightly about the
1 attachment. 1t does not interfere
with the pedaling or any other part
OF the bicycle, and win in no way i'm
1 pede the progress of the rider and can
| be attached to any wheel. The Her.
aid hopes that it will prove all that
it's inventor claims, and that it will
bring him in a very handsome in
come.
