DUNNS REVIEW OF TRADE

New York, July 3O.--Dun's review
says: Dispatches from almost every
northern city OF importance report
without exception improvement in
business and from Detroit TO Seattle
and Portland splendid crop prospects.
The task of adjusting the business and
industries of the country to conditions
created by a new law has progressed
with gratifying rapidlty and ease.
Delay in the iron industry is partly
because wages have not been settled
at all works, and partly because
steadily rising demand does not yet
raise prices In some products prices
are a shade lower, notwithstanding a
larger demand, owing to competition
between works, but Bessemer is
shade higher. In structural work,
plates, sheets and bars for the en-
ormous operations Of agricultural i'm
plement works, the demand increases.
and for rolling stock owing TO the
abundance Of crops.
Failures for the week have been 236
in the United States against 2S1 last
year, and IS in Canada against 40 last
year.

FOUL AIR
In a Tunnel Causes the Death of One
Man and the Dangerous Illness OF
O,herS.

Special TO the Register
Hinton, w. Va, July 30.-A fearful
accident occurred in Lewis tunnel,
about fifty miles east of this city, yes
terday evening about o'clock, IN
which Conductor Edward Bray lost
his life and three others are in pre-
carious condition. A west-bound
freight train stalled when about hall
way through the tunnel. Conductor
BRAY stumbled out of the caboose ana
started for the engine, to find out the
and fell in a stupor When the train
cleared the tunel and Bray was missed
by the other members of the crew, a
searching party consisting Of Brake
men Sam Hamilton and Ed. Womack
and Fireman Thomas Dainwood, went
back to the tunnel to look for him.
AS soon as they struck the foul air
they were also overcome. The n
gineer, after waiting a reasonable
time and not hearing anything from
them, cut his engine loose from the
train and started back to look for the
crew. Hamilton had fallen across the
track and was struck by the engine,
breaking his back. The engineer sue
ceeded in loading them on the en-
gine, together with Bray, and brought
them out. Bray died in about five
minutes after he was rescued. They
were all brought to their homes in
Hinton last night. Dainwood and
Womack will recover.

WILD EXCITEMENT

shooting in the streets of scottdsle.
Scottdale, Pa, July 30.-Wild excite
ment prevails here at 10 o'clock to-
night. AS the afternoon turn of non
union men, who have taken the place
of the striking iron workers at the
Scottdale iron works were going home,
one of them, said to be a man named
Painter, became incensed at the re-
marks of some boys and deliberately
fired at them. A large crowd was gath
cred about the station at the time, and
they started after the non-union man,
who fired four or five shots into the
crowd before he reached the Geyer
House, where he boards.
The hotel was Immediately surround
ed by an excited crowd and 1t was with
some difficulty that Burgess Porter got

the assistance Of the strike leaders
there is no telling what the maddened
people would have done. Another nom
union man, whose name could not be
learned, drew his revolver on Pitts
burg street and fired several shots. He
was knocked down and pretty badly
beaten before he could be rescued by
the officers and taken TO his boarding
house. The excited crowd is massed

THE LOCAL SITUATION.
Indecision Of the Miners Employed
at BOggS Run.
Glendale and Moundsville Organ
ized and Out-Elm Grove Likely
TO Follow = Kuntz Miners Quit
Again.

On Thursday night the Boggs Kun
miners voted TO return TO work, as stat
ed in Yesterdays Register. Yesterday
morning they entered the pit, but IN
about an hour all came out and that
mine is idle. What led to the action Is
unknown, unless possibly it was caused
by the miners meeting in the mine ana
discussing the phases of the situation
as presented to them by 7. l.. Lewis
and William Anderson on THURSDAY
night. How long they will remain out
is a mooted question. Their action has
been decidedly erratic and it is ques-
ton whether they intend TO make IL
permanent strike or permit the TWO iaS-
tions TO act in accordance with tneH
views. Ii is barely possible that they
will stay out in the face OF the aclloh
taken by their representative men at
the Drovers' Home meeting. Snould
thew decide TO remain out their lnilu-
ence may bring out the Elm Grove
workers, who also returned yesterday.
Mr.. Lewis held d meeting at Glenuaie
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning ana OF
ganized the men there. Moundsvilie
was next visited and an enthusiastic
meeting was held there at 2 p. m. Mr..
Lewis organized these miners and at
this writing everything favors a sus-
pension of work at both Glendale ana
Moundsyille. Six diggers and driver
| started IN work at Moundsville yester-
day morning, but all came out IN
short time and will remain out with
the men who attended the meeting
These men who returned, George Bar
ker. Charles Drake. two other white
men. two colored men and driver.
have agreed to abide by the decision OF
tie meeting. and no further defectlons
at this place are expected.
| Altogether the situation late last
night pointed to the probability OF all
the local mine workers coming out and
remaining out until final settlement
is reached.
