100 LIVES LOST.
san Francisco Mail Steamer Founders on
the Coast of Mexico.

The Pacific mail steamship Colima,
with 1S2 persons aboard, including
passengers and crew, foundered off the
coast of Mexico. Fourteen passengers
and five members of the crew reached
ManZanilla, Mexico, and gave the first
information of the vessels fate. The
information received at San Francisco
is meagre but very definite. The
Colima sailed from san Francisco for
Panama and way ports. She carried
122 passengers, 40 in the cabin and 36
whites and 46 Chinese in the steerage.
The officers and crew numbered 10,
making in all 1s2 people on board the
steamer.
Later dispatches say that 10 persons
rescued were picked up in one of their
boats by the steamer san Juan and
that although a search was made none
of the other boats of the Colima could
be found. The passengers were
asleep when the accident occurred. A
bursting boiler caused the disaster.

OIL COUNTRY ABLAzE.
Mexican County, Pennsylvania, Being
Swept by Disastrous Fires.


Sparks from lumber railroad loco
motive set fire to the woods about
Kane, Pa, and with the assistance of a
brisk wind the flames swept onward
without check. 1t was not long before
the oil fields were reached and several
small settlements were completely
destroyed. Fires started in other di-
rections and almost half of Mexican
county, Pa, was visited by the fires.
Oil rigs all through that section were
burned, as well as millions of feet of
standing timber. Coon Runla, a small
settlement near Bradford in the heart
of the oil field, was wiped off the face
of the earth. The people had to flee
for their lives and many women and
children were panic-stricken and I'M
able TO move. They had to be carried
to places of safety. Conductor Tanks,
of the Pittsburg 81 Western, says the
people on the oil leases are fleeing for
safety, but the fire spread so quickly
that he cannot see how all of them
could have been saved. Several oil
bumpers are reported missing. A mes
sage from Knapps Creek says the
leases have been tire-swept and so rigs
are destroyed. Several dwellings have
been burned and the town with 900
people was endangered. At State Line,
on the Western New York 81 Pennsyl-
vania, several dwellings together with
large amount of lumber were
consumed. A lumber camp, com
posed of seven dwellings at Oil Valley
Junction was destroyed together with
thousands of dollars worth of lum Der.
The fire may be said to extend over
the entire northern oil field of Penn
sylvania. 1t is impossible as yet to
give any computation of the damage
or the deaths on account of the scope
Of country the fire covers.

clan was compelled to amputate the
limbs. 1t will be remembered that
criminal process ings were begun
against her several months ago but
the jury failed to agree.

Thirtv-three Drowned.

A terrible accident occurred on the
Spanish river, in Ontario, by which 33
men lost their lives. The victims were
lumbermen who had encamped for the
night on crib of square timber
moored TO shore near the head of the
rapids, which at this point are very
PERCEPTIONS and rocky. All had gone

the night the crib broke from its moor
ings and carried its cargo of sleeping
men into the surging waters below.
The crib was broken to pieces on the
rocks and not man escaped. The

REVIEW OF TRADE.

Dun's SAYS More far reaching than any other
change during the past week, IL really war
ranted Dy facts is the continued rise in prices
ot wheat and cotton. heal scarcity OF either
would effect all business. Happily, there is
still room TO hope that accounts OF injury are
greatly exaggerated. although there has been
some evidence during the past week that both
the great crops have suffered more than at
first appeared Other chances are almost all
favorable and some highly encouraging; labor
troubles are clearly less threatening None
tary conditions are satisfactory aud the sub
stantial increase in the commercial demand Is
"a good sign. Exchanges through the clearing
houses have been greatly inflated by specula-
tion. Wheat is largely supported by public
buying and the purchasing orders from farm-
ing regions are supposed TO indicate an opinion
of the yield. Yet wheat comes forward freely
as II would not at current prices IL u short crop
were assured. The manufacturer is doing well.
though not all the machinery is employed. but
the demand has been better and there are oc-
casional advances In prices OF goods. The
iron manufacturer is gaining rapidly and the
average OF prices Is also higher. IL is believed
that the wage question will be settled at Pitts
burg this year without any strike. The
failures during the past week were 2l5 In the
United states against ls3 last year.
