Philadelphia, January l5.-Ex United
States Express Messeug Samuel d.
Rhoades, who, on October "a, 1892, was
terribly injured in a collision on the
Reading railroad, at Rose Glen, above
West Manayunk, was to day awarded
SOS, 900 damages by the verdict of iury
before Judge Sultzberger to day. The
passenger train in which Rhoades was
on duty was telescoped by a freight
train, and his injnries, sustained in the
crash, were so serious and of such Der
manent character that he was compelled
to break an engagement to marry. He
sued for $50, 600 and the jury found that
he was entitled to S2S, 900.

Those who have gone to the hardware
stores the last few weeks to buy skates
could not fail to notice the cheapness
of the article. Skates thatso late as five
years ago cost So to So can be bought at

the patents that made the skates expen-

X. G.. Dun Co.'S weekly review of trade
says: Neither the beginning of the new
year nor the failure of the currency bill
has brought any material change to bus
iness as yet. The idea that business
would suddenly take anew start after the
holidays had rather less foundation even
than usual, but the hope of strong reviv-
al little later Is cherished by many.
The currency bill, with its possibilities
of vicious amendments, was a source of
apprehension to some, but with that out
of the way, the deficiency of treasury re-
ceipts remains, and exports OF gold do
not cease. There has not been much
time for change in the industries, but
differences observed since the new year
began are not in the direction of higher
prices or larger demands. There are
more indications than of late that stocks
of different kinds Of goods have been ac-
cumulating in consequence of past in
crease in production.
The weekly output of pig iron for Jan
uary shows practically no change, but
stocks of unsold pig increased during the
month about 20, 900 tons weekly. So
that actual consumption in the manu-
facture seems to have been about 14S,-
900 tons weekly against 157 900 in No.
vember. In any case the industry is
doing vastly better than year ago, when
the output was less than 10000, but in
dications of excess of production over
demand are found in further weakness
of prices. Low prices at Pittsburg have
checked business at the West.
