WITHOUT 4 MOMENTS WARNING.
BLOWN TO DEATH.
An Oil Well Boiler Explodss with Fatal
Results.

An Oil Well Boiler Explodss with Fatal
Results.
Gallery Junction, on the Fittsburg 4 West
ern railroad, was shaken by a boiler explo-
SIGN Monday morning, which killed John
Dunlap. an oil driller, and injured Charles
Mckeever, q tool dresser.
The explosion occurred on the A. L.
Staples farm. The boiler which exploded
was used to furnish steam for the drilling of
a well about fifty rods from the station at
Gallery Junction.
The drillers did not work on Sunday, and
were just preparing to start the machinery
when the explosion occurred. They had TX
ed up the boiler, and at the time Of the ex-
plosion both men were in the engine house.
A few moments before they had been at the
boiler and noticed that steam gauge showed
a pressure OF so pounds. This being suff-
cient to start the engine, Dunlap was In the
act Of turning the throttle valve when the
boiler let 20.
The engine house was blown completely
away, md both men were hurled some dis-
lance. Dunlap was crushed so badly that he
died within a few minutes. Mckeever was
more fortunate. although he was thrown
into the fiy-wheel Of the engine. The wheel
had Just started to ~revolve, and he narrowly
escaped being crushed by it before it stopped
turning. He was able to get up and look for
Dunlap, whom he found lying about twenty
feet away, and dying.

BETTER BUSINESS DOING.
Tho SLOW and Gradual Improvement in
Trade Continues.

r. G.. Dun 4 Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says:
The slow and gradual improvement observ-
ed for some time has continued during the
past week, and without material change.
There is q better demand for most products
ON the whole.
While the demand for Bessemer pig has
sustained the recent advance TO Sl0.I 10 per
ton, ut Pittsburg, and gray forge Is still
quoted at 80. 40 there, and there is also less
cutting Of prices to get more business in fin
ished products, the general range of prices
still continues very low. There is less evil
dence OF the eastern mills selling rails below
$50, except for export, some sales OF that
character having been made ut Els. Western
makers are said to be firm at S2l per ton,
but the demands Of the most important rail-
ways have beer supplied for the present.
The consumers OF billets are not In the
market just now, but with somewhat larger
production OF pig iron it may be doubted
whether outside OF rails, demand for finished
products equals the capacity Of works.
The new administration, the certainty Of
an extra session OF Congress within a fort
night and the promise OF a new tariff at an
early day, which shall provide adequate rev.
enue and protection. have done much TO
stimulate u better feeling in trade circles. and
Increase confidence in the near approach of
an improvement: in business. Favorable
features are found in higher prices for Wheat.
Indian corn. pork, lard and spirits of turpen-
tine, as well rs for steel billets. Recent low
quotations for various forms OF iron and
steel have been withdrawn. notably for wire
and structural material.
There were 262 business failures through
out the United States this week, compared
with 25S last week, 30 i'm the week "a wear
ago, 252 in the week two years ago, and
smaller totals In like weeks in the two pre-
ceding years. This marks a return of the
ratio of business more nearly to the normal.
There were 81 business failures reported
from the Canadian Dominion this week,
against 80 last week, G6 in the week n year
ago a 90 two years ago.
