timated that sixty men persisted in The
disaster. Seven were killed on the out
side.
The slopes and entrances to the lower
workings are blockaded by wreckage,
and several days Will be required for res
cue parties TO reach the bodies in the
mine. The explosion in the mine shook
the whole country around, wrecked the
power plant a fan house, and several
other buildings. entailing heavy loss. but
the death roll far overshadows other con-
siderations. Immediately after the ex-
plosion Supt Bradbury telephoned for
physicians. Brave men tried TO descend
some of the air shafts and escape slopes
without success, and il was not until
three hours after the explosion that a
volunteer party entered the main en-
trance 10 the slopes. and soon afterwards
returned with two bodies. Then reported
caves stopped further progress down the
slope. Then party went down to shovel
out the caves. after which the searching
party again entered, and work in that line
is now going on.
The explosion is described by many as
most terrific, shaking the whole town
and causing women and children TO run
into the streets imploring for the safety
Of the beloved ones. Though there is no
fire in the mine. the explosion is supposed
TO have come from a blast setting fire 20

safe to say that more than 300, 600 men
who werc idle have received employ

The increases of wages on so exten.

cue of the most remarkable chapters ia
our industrial history. ilui they come
more slowly and after better business
conditions had become well settled
they would hayo been quite sufficiently
noteworihy. But coming with the
Ntry dawn of better times. aud before
the employers had had any chance to

DUSIfslAE HISTORY.

The New York Journal OF Commerce
sserts that no very accurate slatjstics
OF increases Of wages during the past
sl1 months can be expected. These
advances are not reported to any oili-
eial bureau or any trade organization,
and they are very incompletely and not
always accurately reported in the
news dispatches. And yet it is safe to
say that the dispatches give fair ap.
Proclamation to the facts. Free, how.
ever, from exaggerations, our New
York contemporary considers that it
Is reasonable to suppose that since
business received the assurance Tint
She stability OF the currency would be
maintained not less than 500, 600 men
have had their wages increased, and
the number may easily be coo. 900.
Ihe increases are usually 10 per cent,
though often more than that. II the
wages before the increase averaged $40
week-and these increases have
occurred more often IN the iron and
sieel industry than anywhere else
rue increases would amount TO $500. 900
or 5000, 600 week.

estimate the number of persons to
whom employment has been given by
the starting up OF manufacturing estab.

ginning of this year. or the increase in
the number of hands employed by

one. North Carolina takes the lead
with thirty one new mills and O mum

South Carolina has twenty-five, Georgia
fourteen, Alabama five, Texas and Vir

t"enty-three finishes ahead of South
Carolina by bare nose. Massaohu

Fey exactly us many as Georgia.
This yenr, according to the showing

prises begun during the six months is
2Ol, while for the fist six months of
1884 1t was only ZIG, aud tho total for
the year was but 2G3. The proportion

principal ones arc the Georgia branch
OF the Massachusetts cotton mills Mt
