RESCUERS' WORK.

Good Progress Made at the Twin Shaft,
Plttston, Pa.-No Hope That Any of the
Entombed Miners Are Alive.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, July 4.-There
was another quiet day passed at the
Twin shaft in Pittston. The rescuers
were busy all day carefully timbering
as they went along, and better progress
has been made than on any previous
day.
They are now down the slope dis
tance of nearly four hundred feet and
have penetrated the rock for distance
of nearly thirtyfve feet. If this can
be continued without interruption dy-
Mantle will not be used. Other than
this there are no new Developments.
There is hardly any reason to be-
lieve now that any of the entombed
men are alive. When their bodies will
be reached can not be foretold. The
officials on learning that Gov. Hastings
had ordered the inspectors to investi-
gate the disaster, say they are very
glad he has taken such a step, They
feel satisfied that every precaution had
been taken by them heretofore against
such calamity, and that they would
in no way be censured. They have Of
fered to give the governor all the as
sistance necessary

YOUNG IDEAS.
Nearly 16,OOO,0OO of Them Learning How

Nearly 100000 of Them Learning How
to Shoot in America.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE total en-
rollment in educational institutions of
all kinds in the United States for the
school year 1S93-94 was nearly six
teen million, according to the re-
port for the year just promul-
gated by Commissioner of Education
Harris. OF these all but 100000 were
in the regular schools, an increase of
about 200 for the year. The per-
centage of total population enroll ed in
the schools was 20.53 School property
gained in value during the year over
S25, ,00O, 900, and 1,103 more school
houses were in operation. In the
past 20 years the sou tn has in
creased 81 per cent in population, but
its school attendance has increased 13O
per cent, more than twice as fast as
the population. In the 20 years, from
1874 TO 1894, the value of school prop

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July ALBERT
Heage, Chas. Kress, VIM. Cornelius and
John Alexander, whose ages range from
16 to 10 years, are under arrest, charged
with wrecking a freight engine on
the Erie and Ashtabula division of the
Pennsylvania Co. IS lines above Beaver
Falls, whereby the engine and one car
were thrown into the Beaver river and
the engineer and fireman narrowly
escaped with their lives, the latter,
George Reible, being seriously in
jured. The boys, who come of good
Allegheny families had gone with
the annual picnic excursion of
the Sixth United Presbyterian
church of Allegheny, but became sepa-
rated from the excursion train and en-
gagged in an alteration with an Ital-
ian from whom they endeavored to
steal lSeg of beer. They misplaced a
switch and caused the wreck in order
to be revenged on the Italian who they
thought was on the engine.

Cycles and Railroads.

A London correspondent of the Paris
Messenger, in speaking of the usual and
general exodus from that city during
the Whitsuntide holidays, says that the
excursions from the metropolis were al
most wholly made on wheels. On Whit
Monday it was impossible to hire or
even buy a bike in London. The rail
ways begin to feel the effect of this form
of transportation, which exceeds the
most extreme anticipations. At the
same time the rush for bicycles was a
sort of relief for railway, omnibus and
other vehicle passengers, which the
rapid transit companies, however, did
less enjoy than their fugitive customers.

TRADE REVIEW.
Failures for the Second Quarter
of This Year 1895.
Boot and Shoe Producers Are Doing a
Shade Better in Prices.
Output of Iron Largely Decreased-West-
ern Receipts of Wheat Continues Re-
markably Large-Corn and Oats
Promise Well-Cotton Needs Rain.

New YORK, July Ar. G.. Dun & Co.
says Saturday in their weekly re"iew
of trade:
Complete failure returns for the sec
ond quarter of 1896, April 1-June so
inclusive, cover 1905 in the United
States against 2,S55 in the same quar-
ter of last year.
Failures for the week have been 257
in the United States against 1876 last
year and % in Canada against "a last
year.
Current movements have been so
largely of temporary character or
else purely speculative on the day by
day plan that they are not high
ly instructive. Thus an extensive
shut down of cotton mills is
solely in the hope that half
production in July and August may
clear largely overstocked market
Stock fluctuations We're still more
emphemeral, including two sharp de-
clines and partial rallies within week,
both laboriously ascribed to various
political causes, but mainly due to keen
operators who saw chances for a quick
turn.
Extended reviews of the half years
operations in leading branches of man.
ufactures go far to explain numerous
stoppagcs In woolens they are with
out concert Mills are waiting for or
ders, the sales of wool having been not
third of last years for the week
Prices are depressed but still de-
,,necil,i1itinS
In cotton goods the closing
of many mills both north and south,
for half of July and August, is in ef-
feet recognition of the fact that heavy
stocks of goods, manufactured from
cotton, costing between ~ and So
cents could not be expected to show
profits if the mills go on manu-
featuring until new and probably
heavy crop of cotton is ready. The re-
duction of prices has brought out a
large demand in many cases, but not
enough to meet the output of the mills
Having begun by reducing prices to
the lowest ever known, boot and shoe
producers are doing shade better in
prices with leather little cheaper on
the whole though hides have mounted
to about the level Of January l.
The output of iron has largely de-
creased and there is quite general
stoppage of works for repairs, but
the annual controversies about
wages have in most cases
been settled and il is believed
will be settled in all without
strikes. The problem whether prices
for coke, ore and billets, established
by the combinations formed this year
can be maintained against decreasing
demand for finished products, would
be simplifed if there were not combin-
ations in nails and rails and other fin
ished products.
Wheat declined &c and recovered
&c, but western receipts continue re-
markably large. The stocks in sight
are greater than a year ago and though
winter wheat yields less spring wheat
seems likely, with fair weather, to
yield more than last year. Corn prom
ises remarkably well and also oats.
Cotton greatly needs rain in parts OF
Texas, but better reports come from
most of the other sections and large
increase in acreage is generally re-
ported

Parting Of the waYs.

Several weeks aSo we predicted that
there was DO earthly possibility Of the
regular Republicans and the AddIcksites
reaching sny agreement relative TO the
formation Of a ticket upon which they
could make q common cause against the
Democrats. We declared that there
would be separate primaries. separate
committees, separate conventions and
separate tickets. General James II. VIII
sons call for State Convention to
be held at Georgetown on July 16 and
the provision Of the call, which
dsbars Addleks and his sdherents from
participation in the primaries and con-
veution. verlnss our prediction In every
particular, for it means that henceforth
the Republicans will have absolutely
nothing to do with Addicks and will
permit him to have nothing to do with
them.
They will suffer defeat rather than
pass beneath his yoke, and defeat him
md drive him out OF Delaware politics IA
order to regain what they have lost by
his INSCRIPTIONS methods
Addioks now has his own party. he
and his followers will not be permitted
90 vote at the regular Republican prIma
Ties or to be represented In the party
councils They have no standing In the
party OF the nation, state, county or
clty. They are political outcasts, with
the power to ruin but not to rule the Re-.
publicSn party. Now let them 60 shend
aud select their ticket, name and device
and enter upon their rule or ruin cam
psign. They have no quarter to hope
for from those Republicans who have
marked Addieks for their prey. The
chase may be long one, but they will
get him down at last and he will suffer
the same fate that has overtRksn other
political adventurers who have sought to
buy Delaware
