Brass Buttons and Beauty.

That Pittsburg Horror Very Hard to Get
on the Record Correctly.
Pit.sburg. Feb. 12-After estimating
with great assurance Of accuracy that
there were twenty-seven persons still
missing of those in the radius Of dan
ger at the big fire here, it turns out that
there was a mistake somewhere. For
instance, Mrs. McFadden and her eight
children are safe and well. The woman
had moved few days before the fire.
Then of those recorded as missing yes
terday Michael O'Hearn and James
Beverly are found to be alive; that
makes eleven less Of the missing.
Sixteen, however, are still unac-
counted for and Chief Humphreys, Of
the fire department is sure more people
were killed than have been found. More
than that. he believes that no estimate
OF killed SO far made will reach its act
ual total when all is known. 1t is dan
gerous work removing the debris, for
there are 125 tanks Of explosive am
monia in the ruins, and II 1t should 60

EVENTS THAT FAVOR TRADE.
One of the Most Notable II Renewed Ac
tivity I'm Iron and Steel.


New York, Feb. b.12.-Bradstreet's says:
A number of favorable circumstances
and events present themselves this
week. Perhaps the most notable ofthese
are the renewed activity and confidence
in the iron and steel market, accom-
panied by prompt and even rapid ad-
vances in several grades of crude pig
iron and steel, and the advance in the
price of raw cotton, long predicted but
unrealized until the present week. What
might be regarded as minor feature
in the business situation. though at the
same time meconveying much that is hope
ful to the interest involved. is quite
general Improvement in the distributive
trade.
Less favorable features Of the week
are the slowness Of spring trade in dry
goods to develop at New York and other
eastern centers, except Boston, and the
mid weather in the northwest render
ing it likely that retailers stocks car
ried over will be larger than earlier ex-
pected. Business failures continue to
make favorable comparisons with pre-
vious weeks and years. the total for the
week just ended being 21S against 29j
last week.
Bank clearings continue to point to an
immense business doing in the country
at large. the total aggregating for the
week 81. .43i .0O0, eco, less than per cent
smaller than last week, and So per cent
larger than in the corresponding week

Burglary Made Easy.

At Marseilles in France recently clever
bank robbery took place, in which the i'm
proved burglar drill was used. The cracks
men drilled hole one or two inches in
diameter by means Of hand brace at the
level Of the lock and afterward tapped the
hole so that there might be screwed into 1t
threaded rod provided with handle at
its extremity. The drill, properly SO called,
consisted of steel plate ring provided
with saw teeth at one of Its edges. This
ring was held by transverse rod, to which
was fixed q vertical lever and bridge.
The threaded rod, which was first screwed
into the door, served as an axis Of rotation.
Upon this axis was fixed the drill, and II
only sufficed to maneuyer the lever in or.
der to cause the saw teeth to bite the plate
Of the safe. After short period Of silent
work a dlak was detached and came out
with the tool. The safe then no longer
offered any resistance to burglars
