A DISMAL FAILURE.
The Second Strike of Motormen on
Philadelphia Street Railways.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-The Sec
ond strike of the motormen and conduc-
tors of the Union Traction Company
was dismal failure, and was over be-
fore it was fairly begun. The strike
was ordered at the mass-meeting OF
about 450 of the men early this morn
ing. The strike was disapproved by
the leaders of the association and the
more conservative element among the
men, and when it was inaugurated this
morning only about LOCO Of the 5000
employees of the traction company went
out. At no time was any of the depart
ments of the road completely tied up,
and by noon the cars were practically
running on every division on schedule
time.
There were no disturbances of any
kind. President Malone of the Anal
gamated Association this morning ex-
PEELED Lutz, member of the Executive
Committee. from the order. on the
ground that he had ordered the strike
without authority. 1t is probable that
the men viii try to have any grievances
they may have adjusted by peaceable

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Result of Leaving a Loaded Pistol
Where Children Had Access.


Where Children Had Access.
MORELAND CKy.), Jan. "a horri-
BILE tragedy was enacted by children
near Milledgeville yesterday, and as a
result there are three little ones dead
and dying.
Milledgeville is little village in
Lincoln County. Three little girls
named Walters, aged respectively 4, q
and 8 years, were playing in room Of
the Walters house. In the room was a
young boy named Walters, aged A or D
years. He had been constantly at the
hause, where he played with his listle
cousins The four children were play
ing together as usual, when the hktle
boy by some means secured a pistol
which had been secreted about the
house.
The little fellow, in playing with the
weapon, succeeded IN discharging it.
The weapon was loaded with five cart
ridges. After learning the modus
operandi of firing it, he turned upon
the little girls and began firing. One
was shot through the hips, another was
shot through the abdomen. The third
was not injured. but a bullet went
through her clothing. Then the boy
placed the pistol under his own chin,
and, pulling the trigger, sent a ball
crashing through his head. 1t entered
at the base of the chin and pIowed it's
way through to the top of his head,
coming out above the ear.
It was reported upon examination by
the doctors that the two girls will die.
The boy is lingering between life and
death

Of industries during 1895 has been ma
terially affected by speculation in ma
| terials. Midsummer witnessed a. tre-
mendous advance. with a rush to buy
far exceeding thr ordinary demand for
consumption. Prices rose beyond all
reason, exciting still more the anxiety
to buy beyond actual needs. Thousands
of producers strangely mistook the ex-
traordinary buying for vast increase
in consuming ability, and extended
plants, opened mills. increased their
force and rushed production in many
lines far beyond actual consumption.
Inevitably, both the traders and manu-
facturers were left toward the close
with considerable stocks unsold, and
claims against customers who were
themselves tied up by purchases be-
yond their distributing power. Hence
the general shrinkage in prices for the
past three months, and though in
scarcely any department did prices rise
higher than in former years, they were
found out of relation to existing de-
mand.
Railroad earnings show decided i'm
provement over last year-5.6 per cent.
for the year and SO per cent. for De-
cember-though 4.6 per cent. smaller
than in 1892
The rapid outflow of gold, with high
rates of interest, caused anxiety, which
was checked by decision to issue clear
inghouse certificates at New York,
Boston and Philadelphia, and by
prompt attention to financial questions
in Congress, but at the close another
issue of bonds is expected. Offers al
ready exceed the amount of the issue
proposed. The recent decrease in i'm
ports of merchandise and some increase
in exports warrant hope that trade bal
ances may be more favorable hereafter,
but much depends upon the course of
securities which foreign holders are
selling to some extent, in order to share
in the expected profits on bonds. Rarely
has there been a situation so compli
Gated, and the near future is difficult to
forecast, but it is the widely prevalent
impression that a large sale of bonds
will speedily revive confidence and ac-
tivity.

STATE OF TRADE.
Weekly Review of Commerce Through
out the Country.

out the Country.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-R. G. Dun &.
Co. will say tomorrow in their weekly
review Of trade:
The commercial failures during the
complete year 1895 number 13, 1877,
against 1885 in 1894, but the aggre-
gate OF liabilities is slightly greater,
S173, 10000 against S172, ,992, 900. The
bright promise offered by a large de-
crease in the first quarter was followed
by small increase in the second and
third quarters. and large increase in
the last quarter of the year In that
quarter, also, the deferred liabilities to
each firm in business increased. and
also the proportion of deferred liabili-
ties to payments through clearing
houses.
The effects of unreasonable specula-
tion in materials created an advance
in prices of goods, heavy purchases
ahead of distribution and enormous
increase in production clearly appear
in the returns
Produce markets have been the thea
ter of surprising changes which have
influenced all business The acreage
in cotton was wisely restricted, in order
to give producers a better chance for
fair returns, and the crop was further
reduced to some extent by injury, but
growers were injured still more by
frantic speculation. which checked ex-
ports, and by false information and ad-
vice.
Wheat producers suffered in like
manner from wild speculation, which
prevented the exporting of many mill
ion bushels, and false reports which
encouraged farmers to keep back their
grain until the cereal had been taken
off the market by spectators. The in
evitab1e consequence has been a very
low range Of prices, the yield being
clearly in excess of all demands.
The great crop of corn has materially
affected the prices Of meats. The course
