ABOUT BUSIN ESS.

r.. r. Gaines. IA Representative of H.. q.
Dun eco Talks About the Outlook.
r. r. Gaines, the representative Of r.
&. Dun Il Co, the financial agency firm,
was a visitor in Great Falls yesterday
making investigation into the state of
business in this section OF the state. To
a TRIBUNE reporter be talked pleasantly
and interestingly about the business
outlook, which he considers extremely
hopeful for the future. the hard times
having been passed and the ascending
scale reached.
In reference to Great Falls he noted
one curious fact, and that was that
while the pay rolls are considerably
larger in the aggregate than they were D.
year and a half age, and the volume
of nearly all kinds of business
larger than at that time, there
has been a notable decrease in the num-
her of saloons. lie places the decrease
at SO per cent, as gathered from the tig-
uItb Vi lIo Cohuty tCupuici . HSoAoS
book, Every Indication points to d sub
s~tantial increase in the population, n
vet the saloon business of the city has
apparently dropped off very largely. lie
states that q similar condition prevails
in Butte, and the only way in which he
can account for the fact is that the large
labor employing industries have been
wedding out the single mon aLd giving
their places to men with famil4 s. Whlle
there are too many striking exceptions
to the rule. still it Is true that family
men drink much less as a class
than the eingle men. Whatever
the cause may De 1t appears pretty
certain hat the patronage or the saloons
has been decreased OF late years IN this
city, and for this reason many OF them
have gone out Of the business, and OF
those left not many are making much
money. Another feature which Mr..
Gaines notices everywhere IN the state
is the large amount of liquidation OF
mortgage indebtedness going on every
where. The county records show that not
withstanding the close times an unusually
large amountof mortgage debts are being
paid off and satisfied. Immense sums
of money have gone out Of the state for
this purpose within the last year. Wher,
ever the money came from the figures
show that the people are paying up their
debts at a rapid rate. In the Gallatin
valley country this was especially noted,
although the price of farm products has
been 30 low.
Altogether Mr., Gaines thinks the
business outlook in Great Falls is i'm
proving, although in some lines of bust
ness the number of business houses has
increased much faster than the increase
of population and volume of business
would seem to warrant.

A GUARANTEE
VIII BE Asked from the Business Men
for the Expenses of the COun-
tv VEnfr

for the Expenses of the COun-
ty Fair.
From Wednesdays Daily.
At a meeting held yesterday evening
at the Realty block Secretary Cochran
explained what had been done so far by
the directors OF the Cascade County Ag-
ricultural society toward the arrange
ments for the coming county fair. About
5000 pamphlets have been we'll distrib-
uted all over northern Montana adver-
tieing the premium list and the attrac-
tions of the Fl If, and from all directions
come the most encouraging accounts of
the interest taken by the ranchers in the
fair. The directors feel confident that
the receipts from admission and other
sources will be sufficient to pay off the
premiums and the running expenses of
the fair, but in order to guard against
any possible disappointment in this re-
spect from any cause they have decided
to ask the business men to raise a guar
antee fund of about $1,000 No call will
be made except in case of a deficit, n
then only such a proportion of the
amount subscribed as is necessary to
meet it. To Illustrate: II q deficit of
5000 should exist d man subscribing 500
would be called on for 52J. and so on,
pro rata.
After a full discussion of the the mat
ter by Paris Gibson, l.. S. Woodbury.,
Norman Verge, L. 3. Judd, DIR. Sweat
and others it was finally decided that
the best way to secure their guarantee
was to circulate a paper among the
business men asking them to subscribe
the maximum sum they would be will
ing in case of necessity to contribute
for this purpose, Considering the great
advantages to be derived by the business
men Of the city from the fair, it was felt
that no difficulty would be experienced
in getting the necessary amount signed.

EIGHT MIN DEAD
As the Result Of the Explosion OF a
Furnace in the Carnegie Steel
Works.
AN EQUAL NUMBER INJURED
Gas Accumulated in the Bell OF the
Furnace and Ignited When
Exposed.

P1TTsBURG, Aug. M.-An explosion at
furnace Fl of the Carnegie Steel COM
pany at Braddock at 3 o'clock this
morning killed six men, injured three
seriously, burned fifteen more, and de-
stroyed $4,000 worth of property. The
names Of the killed are Steve Havoela,
Joseph Tuckay, Joseph Copp, John
Meka, John Pookohovie, John Grucha.
All the killed and injured were Hun
gariaus except James Harrison, the fore
man.
The explosion was due to a hang" IN
the furnace which suddenly looEened
and dropped into the molten meta
below, generating immense quantities OF
gas SO suddenly that it could moi escape
by the ordinary means. A few minutes
before the explosion one Of the top NIL
ers dumped a barrow of material IN the
bell of the furnace, which he hao for
gotten to raise. This clogged the top
of the furnace and prevented the gas
escaping. A gang Of sixteen men III
charge of James Harrison was sert at
once to the top of the furnace to remove
the obstruction. All were closely crowd
ed around the bell OF the fur
mace removing the material when there
was a terrific explosion, and men.
tools, barrows and material were hurled
in all directions. Flames, deadly gases
and smoke belched from the furnace top
and the gang of men fell as if shot. One
was blown from the top OF the furnace
along the metal roadway to the elevator
shaft, down which he fell, and striking
on a Car was cut in two. A relief crew
quickly went to the top OF the furnace,
where lay - men, bleeding, torn. burned
and dying. Flames and smoke we're etill
coming from the furnace and the work
of rescue was dangerous in the extreme.
Three men died before they reached the
bottom of the elevator shaft. The other
three died between 5 aud 6 o'clock. The
contents of the furnace we're scattered
for hundreds of yards around, falling in
all parts of the yards, cutting and burn
ing about ten men working below. The
carpenter shop, 100 yards from the fur
mace, was soon in flames and was de-
stroyed. If the furnace should
have to be rebuilt the total dam
age will be- $4,000. The homes
of the killed and injured we're near the
furnace, and the streets in that vicinity
were filed with a mass of frantic, half
crazed women and children. OF the in
jured it is thought that five will die,
They are: John Warha, John Shoenda,
Mike Jura, Mike kapenos, and Rev,
Drobne. The following we're seriously
injured bat will probably recover; John
Wagasky, John Gebroroag, Jas. Harri-
son. Two of the injured died at the
hospital, making the number Of dead
eight, They were burned SO badly as to
be beyond recognition.
