CAUSES ALARM.
British Manufacturer Uneasy Over


british Manufacturers Uneasy Over
Competition from America.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. IS. - British
makers of iron and steel products are
alarmed at the invasion of their home
markets by American manufacturers.
1t is stated that tin plate bars have
been exported to the Welsh timed plate
mills for several months and that some
of the timed plates imported recently
were made out of American steel. Bes-
scmer steel billets have been exported,
and one Pittsburgh firm is reported 10
have been recently shipping on an or
der for 10000 tons of billets which
have been landed on the west coast of
England at a price of IL shillings be-
low the local price. Other forms of iron
and steel exported extensively are hard
ware, mechanical tools and various
forms of machinery. Wages in Ameri-
can mills are more than double the
wages paid in English mills for similar
work. It is claimed that the higher
cost of labor in the United States has
given to employers greater incentive
to introduce labor-saving machinery,
and that the labor cost per ton in Amer
lean mills is so low, as compared with
the cost in England, by reason of the
larger output per day that the cost
per ton is actually below what it is at
the most favored mills in Great Britain
and almost as low as in Germany.

SIX MEN KILLED.
Terrible Disaster I'm a Mine Mt Tale.
willie, N. 7.

-H VAACs Ne 1sr-
Gouveneur, N. Y, Feb. 16.-The one
topic for miles around has been the ter
rible mine accident which occurred at
Talcville late Saturday afternoon. The
accident occurred in the Freeman mine
at Talcville, leased by the United States
Tale company. At 4: 80 Saturday after
noon there were eight men in new
section of the mine, 16O feet under the
ground. In 20 minutes work fo- the
week would have ceased and the work
men would have been out of all danger.
A blast had been fired and the men
were engaged in scaling-that is, get
ting off the loose pieces. A pillar of
tale 50 feet square had been left stand
ing for support to the roof of the
shaft. Six of the men were working
around this. Without a warning Of
any kind the huge mass. comprising
about 600 tons of rock, slipped from its
position and collapsed. burying the
workmen. Five of the men were
damned against the wall and terribly
crushed. The sixth. William Dawley.
was thrown up in some manner. and
but three pieces of the rock lay on him.
He lived until 1880 Sunday afternoon.
Two other men, Adolph Trombley and
William Horn. were in the mine. The
former was beyond the pillar and was
out of danger. Horn was working close
to the pillar, but up near the roof.
When the crash came the rocks fell
around him. striking his drill, but he
was not injured. He crawled up the
track of the skip to the end of the lad
der and went to the surface to give the
alarm. A searching party was at once
organized and put to work.
The first body found was that of
Fred Decoy. Next the battered re-
mains of Mildred Louchlan were found
All this time groans were heard issu-
ing from the heap of debris. and the
workmen finally located William Daw-
ley. After seven hours labor the man
was uncovered, he being conscious all
the while. It was found that his spine
was broken, one of his legs crushed and
there were more injuries of an internal
nature. He was conscious up to the
time of his death. The body of Charles
Larsck was found at one o'clock Sunday
morning. The body of Al Tetherton
was found at II o'clock a. m. A few
minutes later the remains OF John
Matthews were brought to the surface.
The remains were in terrible condi-
ton. Both of Tetherton's legs were
missing. Decoy was unmarried: Louch-
Ian leaves widow and three children;
Dawley widow and seven children;
Larsclt widow and six children; Teth-
erton widow and two children. and
Matthews widow and eight children.
w. r. Jones. treasurer and manager of
the company. personally superintendent
the search and remained at his post for
20 hours. The company carried an in
surance on their men for a small
amount. The six funerals will be held
Tuesday. The mine was inspected two
weeks ago.
