Movements-Grain and Pro-
duce-Revisw OF Trade.

New York. Aug. 24-There were several
quite important elements of positive
strength in the stock market to-day, but
tho p~reponderating Influence OF several
features and the very heavy p~ront-taking
by large holders OF leading stocks multi
Ned them. The last prices were In nearly
ell cases below those OF last night. The
LONDON market followed yesterdays New
York weakness and affected the opening
here, causing declines in some OF the In
ternationsls. The CHANGERS made a strong
opening In spite of selling for London &C
count on account of the h!gh level o. earn
fngs disclosed by st. PauT's statement for
the third week IN August. The Increased
movement OF grain in the west.
which has weakened the last few days. ia
probably reflected In those earnings.
which were s33.S5s in excess of last year,
and over s4. 900 in excess of the high level
of the corresponding period IN 1924. The
grain movement. though augmented, is
not vet up to last years level and the
larger earnings are due TO general trafno
resulting from the more liberal outlay OF
last years profit by the people OF the
West. The sharp advance in the granger
at the opening. due TO the buying by COM
mission houses and bidding up OF prices
by traders, resulted only IN bringing very
heavy offers TO realize. There was change
of speculative interest from So. Paul and
the grangers into some OF tho lew-prtced
stocks with dividend prospects.
Northern Pacific was most conspicuous
IN this class and was absorbed in snor-
nous blocks. closing at tho top al az ad-
vance of 1Nc. Union Pacific sylnpathized

in neither case were largely taken. Ru-
morE Of an agreement 10 srbitrate the

WILL LOSE HIS FOOT
'Painful Accident to Boss Driver
McDermott.
HE JUMPED IN THE DARK
Was Caught In the Tail Rope, Which
Ploughed It's Way Almost
Through the Bone of
the Ankle.

Belt, Aug. 23.-Yesterday at about IL
o'clock Ed McDermott, boss driver in
the mine, met with an ex-
cruciatingly painful and very
serious accident which will
render him. perhaps, a cripple for life,
n may result in the loss Of one foot.
He came outside on some errand and
when ready to go pack in the mine he
stepped onto the rear end OF a trip of
empty coal cars that was starting for
the inside. He did not light his pit
lamp, riding in in the darkness, intend
) ng TO drop off at the eighth south entry.
Between the seventh and eighth south
entries the track makes a curve and on
the inside of this curve there is placed
a board fence or wall. in which are plac-
ed pullies on which the tail rope works
around the curve.
Mr.. McDermott, who is entirely ia
miliar with the mine, believing he had
reached the eighth south entry, stepped
of the moving cars. He had misjudged
by a few yards the point at which he
had arrived, and stepping off in the
darkness. was caught by the tail rope
which was stretched taut around the
curve, n his left foot catching fast
between the rope and the wall was al
most severed at the ankle lie was un-
able to free himself while the trip was
In motion and he could not reach the
electric signal wire to ring the stop
signal. The steel cable or tail rope was
pulled across his ankle at a fearful
speed, eating and burning its way al
most through the ankle bone. The lead
ers and nerves were cut entirely in two
and il thought likely he will lose the
foot.
Alone in the darkness. with the cruel
wire burning into his flesh. his suffer
Ing was something terrible. He did not
lose consciousness. howevsr, and real
izing that in a very few minutes a load
ed trip would come along and that he
must move or be killed, he waited until
the trip stopped at the big parting, then,
making a supreme effort, he managed
10 free himself. Crawling to the eighth
south entry door he made himself heard
and was brought out, Just as the trip
of loaded cars went dashing by. la
he had a light or had he stepped off
IN the other side of the tail rope, there
would have been absolutely no danger.
lie was suffering intensely at a late
hour last night, and it is feared his
foot must be amputated.

Thomas of Burlington. Ia, addressed
a fair house at the Methodist church
yesterday evening on the topic. Cuba
and the Cubans.' He Is a lecturer Of
very pleasing address. and what he had
20 say showed hat he had spent con-
siderable time in preparation and
brought a large experience and a first
rate ability TO his task. His descrip-
ton Of the scenes, the people Of the is
land, their character and condition was
excellent. He was careful to avoid
anything which might be used in a po-
litical and confined himself
wholly to a talk upon the islanders as
he found them.
