SIXTEEN DEAD.
Bodies of Entombed Miners Buried Under
900 Feet of Water.

800 Feet of Water.
CENTRAL CITY. Col, Sept. 1.-The
list of the supposed dead in the two
mines Friday morning was sixteen.
William Prisk was rescued alive. Ten
men are known to be dead I'M
der 200 feet of water. Four
are possibly in the tunnel It
is comparatively dry, but the water
having stopped ventilation, the gases
will kill them. Volunteers Friday
morning were trying to force their way
to where the entombed miners are sup
posed to be. State Mining Inspector
Talbot arrived Friday morning to
investigate the disaster, and said it
would be impossible to rescue any
more Of the miners. The accident was
due to carelessness. The danger was
known butsneither of the mines where
the men lost their lives had pumping
apparatus. When the water rushed in
on them it dropped fully 10 feet per
second and the wretched men literally
sank out of sight.
AS the Sleepy Hollow mine was al
ways dry, 40 pumping plant is estab-
lished there. Efforts have been made to
lower the water with a 5O0-gallon
bucket, but this apparently has no
effect. Cornish pumps will be put in.
but it will even then take sixty days to
drain the mines and get to the bodies
of the drowned miners. The water is
now 300 feet deep in the Sleepy Hol-
low shaft and is still rising, while it
has lowered in the Fisk over 100 feet.

A SURPRISE.
August Closes with Striking Increase in
Trade Volume.

August Closes with Striking Increase in
Trade Volume.
New YORK, Sept. 2. Bradstreet's
says of the trade situation:
1.-THE concluding week of August surprises
even the more optimistic with q striking in
crease in the volume of business with job
bers in staple lines at such centerS as
New York, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago,
St Louis, Kansas City, St Paul, Min
neapolis, and, to a more moderate extent, at
distributing points IN South Atlantic and
gulf states, among them Charleston, Chatta-
nooga, Atlanta, Savannah, Jacksonville, Bir-
mingham and Dallas In dry goods, millinery,
shoes, hats, clothing and groceries the autumn
demand is making itself felt. with the pros
pect for a further improvement in Immediate
ly succeeding weeks t''
This situation is encouraged by practical
certainty of an unprecedentedly large crop of
Indian corn and phenomenal harvest Of
wheat in the northwest, as well as by the eX-
pected upward bound of prices of steel and
iron, followed by corresponding gain in de-
mana
THE gain in quotations for steel and iron is
one of the sharpest within week on record,
and following, as 1t does, an advance of about
so per cent from the lowest levels reached in
1S93-94 is enough to cause the question OF
whether o veritable boom is impending in
these metals. jump of nearly 81 per ton for
Bessemer pig within week, ST. so for billets.
81 for charcoal pig, and western mills refus-
ingsto take orders for future delivery except
at value, renders these industries excited.
1.-The total volume of general trade for the
summer has been larger than in 1894, and in
many instances than in 1893 with the outlook
to-day for even better fall demand than many
had anticipated. The upward and onward
impulse IF this week is noticeable All win
ter lines of goods have felt an improved re-
quest, and manufacturers and jobberS are
preparing to handle large fall trade. OEven
at the south, where recovery from the effects
of the late trade depression was felt latest
jobbers in dry goods, hardware and groceries
announce the receipt of many orders for
September delivery. Even in Texas, where at
the south the state has suffered from drought
and at the north from continuous rains, and
where the cotton crop is to be short in conse-
Quence. country merchants report a better
feeling in all lines and a fair demand for
wholesalers. -

Drowned in st. Clair River.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Aug. 30.-This re-
gion was visited by a tornado and
cloudburst Wednesday the like of
which has never before been seen here.
In thirty minutes the beds of dry
streams were filed with boiling torrents
filing the valleys until they were riv-
ers in size SO deep that horses had to
swim to cross them. The Morris ave-
nue. road southwest of this city was
overfowed, and while Mesdames Riddle
and Roberts, of Heyworth, and daugh-
tiers were trying to cross the valley
their horse and carriage was swept
from the bridge and the children
drowned.
PORT HURON, Mich, Aug. 3o.-An az
cident occurred on the st. Clair river
near Marysville during a squall and
rain storm Wednesday afternoon in
which four persons lost their lives.
A picnic was being held at Stag
island, opposite Marysville, and
Mrs. Michael Derufg, Frank De
rufg, her brother-in-law, and three
young ladies-Miss Celia Choniski,
Minnie Schvenhart and Edith Com
mer-rowed over early in the day.
When the storm was seen coming up
they started back for home, but when
within 400 feet of the shore the squall
struck the little craft and capsized
it. Miss Schvenhart, girl of Is,
clambered upon the boat, but the 9th
er three women all got hold of Frank
Derufg. For awhile he held on to the
upturned boat with one hand and made
a heroic battle for life, but when one
of the women, in her desperation,
got hold of his free hand the hindrance
proved too much and he had to let go,
and all four sunk to the bottom. The
girl chung to the boat and
was rescued later by some boys. Mrs.
Derufg leaves a husband and two
small children. The two young women
were each about 20 years of age

The platform as reported was adopted II
demands the use of both gold and silver and
the maintenance OF parity between

limited coinage of silver at the arbitrary
ratio of 16 to 1: declares continued adherence
to the protective policy and insists upon legls-

The final plank in the platform was
resolution introduced on the floor of
the convention by Senator Quay, and
referred to the committee on resolu-
lions. It is as follows, ss.s s..
Resolved, That we decry the growing use
of money in politics and the corporate control
of legislatures, municipal councils, political
primaries and elections, and favor the enact
ment of legislation and enforcement of laws to
correct such abuses.
I'VE earnestly insist upon form of civil
service which will prevent the enslavement OF
public officers and employees and the compell-
ing of those appointed to preserve
the peace, to confne themselves to
their duties; which will insure abso-
Lutte freedom and fairness in bestowing state
and county and municipal contracts and
will punish any form of favoritism in granting
them; which will forbid the grant of exclu-
sive franchises to deal in public necessities.
comforts, conveyance and sanitary require
ments, and will insure the recognition of abil-
ity and fidelity in the public service. keeping
service to the country ever foremost when &C
companied by ability and fitness.
I'VE demand that public office should be for
the public benefit and it's term IN subordinate
positions should be during good behavior. No
public employer or officer should be permitted
to influence primaries or cleo lions nor upon any
pretense to be assessed upon his salary and all
unnecessary positions and salaries should
be abolished and expenditures and taxation
reduced. there should be a uniform basis of
of property, for public purposes:
enjoying public privileges should
pay for them and schools should be divorced
from politics and kept absolutely from politi-
cal influence and control" p
On motion of Senator Quay the con-
vention adjourned sine die at 2:46 p. m.
