Age-Herald Office, Friday Night.Aug.Z

The new month opened with veng- 1.-The new month. opened with a ven geance among the wholesalers, inasmuch as the much-dreaded Richmond-the fai1ner-had arrived in numerous quan- tities during last night, and by market hours on the avenue had literally cor neped the market so far as eggs and chickens were concerned. It was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, and the market had the appearance of tub with tha bottom dropped out and sides col hpsed.
 Tor a week the former had been hold ing high carnival with the housewives ppclletbooks, the wholesale price danc- ing round the 121zc mark. This coming on the heels of a 7c market created oonsternation, and in some instances caused a corner on cakes and pastry, much to the dismay and discomfort of the dessert-loving class. But today's in- ffuN of the hen product caused a. 21sc drop leaving some of the merchants, so It was Whispered, with a heavy consignment on hand, which, during the present hot weather, is not a very desirable stock. with chickens, while the bears had the ascendancy, forcing a slight drop all areund in classifications, the havoc was not so bad, inasmuch as corn is plentiful al "a low figure, and while it may be necessary to hold chicks few days the fattenfng process Will accordlngly en- liAnce their value-a directly opposite eff feet to that occurring when eggs are left oElaone's hands. |.
 Fruit continues plentiful and prices are cdrfespondngly off. Pears and grapes are way down, while apples are absoluely unstable.
 Sweet potatoes are becoming plentiful, aild the price is hammering down to a basis of actual valuation.
 1tibs took on a little more activity, and closed at 21b-cent advance over yester- days quotations.
 Flour, sugar, rice, lard and other gro ceries are holding their own with firm tendencies.
 Watermelons are virtually out of sale. One merchant is quoted as having offered an out of town dealer 100 melons for a song, provided the would-be purchaser took a chair and sat in it in the middle of Morris avenue at p. m. and rem dered it.

Explosion Early Yesterday Morning at
IL. Il. Hubbard's Joiner shop Engineers
Narrow Escape.
Merlden, Aug. 12,-The twenty-five
horse power boiler at H, e, Hubbard's
Center street stair-building shop blew
up at 6;lO this morning and completely
wrecked the room, the engineer, AM
brose Larchelle. escaping with a bad
scare.
Box 112 was pulled and hose No. 2
and the truck company responded.
Their services were not needed, as Fore
man Calvin j. Hubbard had. with the
shop hose, put out what little flames
there We're.
When the explosion took place it lift
ed Mr.. Larchelle up five feet and then
hurled him southwark fifteen feet,where
he landed on pile of sawdust and shaw
ings in the planning room.
There is only a short space between
the boiler and the partition, and had
the engineer not been tossed up through
the door he would have undoubtedly
been killed. The boiler, instead of blow
| ing through the roof, blew downward,
and the reaction caused 1t to bound
some six inches in the air When il
again fell the boiler was completely
wrecked.
