Stove.

In one room Of a one story house
at Lanstord three dead bodies could

more nearly dead, all five victims of
gaseous fumes from stove. The
dead are Peter Chewper, Annie
Chewper, bis infant daughter, John
Stophman his father.in.law, Mrs.
Chewper, and John Simon, boarder.
The last two died on Friday.
Simon was employed on the night
shift in mine. When he returned
from his work at 4 o'clock Thursday
morning he poured quantity of fresh
coal on the stove, after which he lay
down for his last sleep, in the room
occupied by his wife and child. As
no one was seen stirring about the
house Thursday morning, neighbors
made an investigation and found the
FIVE inmates unconscious and the
house sitting with the deadly fumes.
Physicians were promptly summon
ed, but by the time they arrived at
the shanty Chewper, his child and his
father-ln-law were dead, and the lives
of the two other inmates were fast
ebbing away. Physicians labored in
dustriously all day long to revive Mrs

hour Thursday evening the patients
showed no signs of recovering from
the stupors and both died early Fri

HASTINGS PREDICTS DEFEAT NEXT
YEAR.
Cause OF Opposition TO the Republican
Party Cannot Be Concealed.

Governor Hastings said Friday
concerning the result of the election
last week
"There is no use in hiding the
cause of the formidable opposition to
the Republican party in this state,
and unless we get together we will be
beaten next year.
AS to the vote cast for Swallow he
said 1t had no significance so far as
his personality was concerned-that
any other candidate, running under
like circumstances, would have made
as good race.
Attorney-General Mccormick did
not discuss the probable effect of the
reduced Republican plurality, but said
the Swallow vote in Lycoming county
(Which exceeded that of Beacon and
Brown went beyond all estimates.
State Treasurer Haywood told a
story Friday showing the good judg-
ment OF Senator Quay, in whose com.
pany he was on election night. Mr..
Haywood, in an interview, had re.
marked that Beacon would receive
from 10000 to 225,ooo plurality
Senator Quay, before any returns had
been received, said this estimate was
entirely toohigh and that Mr.. Beacon
would get about the plurality Colonel
Jackson scored in 1898, which was in
the neighborhood of 10000. Thi.
was only 5000 out of the way.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Whea. Lower But Iron Industry Is Booming

Dunns & Cos weekly review of
trade says
Stronger proc: Of the great change
in the condition of business could not
be given than is found in the detailed
report of failures by branches of bust
ness for the month Of October.
Though swelled by a few large specu-
lative or brokerage failures, the aggre-
gate was smaller than in any other
month for more than four years, ex-
cept in July and August, and one
month IN 1894.
The quiet following the great rush
of orders and purchases for every two
months is still increased in many
branches by unseasonably mild
weather, and yet the mills are obliged
to refuse many orders, being unable
to finish previous engagements soon
enough.
More works have joined the active
list, including some long idle, and the
production IN iron manufacture is the
greatest ever known.
Another rise in wheat lifted the
price above 81, but profit taking
speedily caused reaction, and the
price closed 2Ic lower for the week.
Receipts were about million bushels
larger than last year, and Atlantic ex-
ports, -four included, were 3.a87,536
bushels against I,S6a,533 last year.
Exports IN October, as in September,
were heavier than in any preceding
month, and after gloomy reports of
the condition of winter wheat exten-
sive rains have caused material I'M
provement.
