MRS. DICKINS' SAD DEATH.
Oline Explosion-Plumber Tried
to Rescue Her.

WASHINGTON, July s. - Plumber
Vau ghn and a companion. who had
been working in the house where Cap.
tain Dickins of the navy and wife lived,
entered a room in which Mrs. DicBins
sat cleaning some rugs with gasoline.
One of the men carried plumbers
brazer. An explosion followed. The
two men were thrown down. AS soon
as they found their feet Vaughn seized
Mrs. Dickins and attempted to drag her
from the room. The flames were, how
ever, so fierce that he was compelled to
drop her and flee for his own life. He
thinks that she was then dead.
The explosion was of such force that
it rent the stone steps in front of the
house. The plumbers said that consid-
erable quantities of the gasoline had
apparently been spilled upon the floor.
Word was sent to the navy depart
ment, where Captain Dickins is next to
Admiral Crowninshield at the head OF
the bureau Of navigation. The exact
character of the catastrophe was not
made known to him, but he was brought
hurriedly to the Dickins residence in a
ca riage. He almost tainted as he was
helped from the carriage up the stone
entrance steps. Going inside, he identi-
fed the body as that of his wife. The
body of Mrs. Dickins was borne to the
next house, where a surgeon OF the
navy resides.
Mrs. Dickins was an authoress of
some note, one of her best known books
being "Around the World in a Man of
War" She was also a frequent con-
tributor TO magazines.

Corn Declined In frice-IrOn
and Wool situation.


New York, July S.-R. G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade issued to.
day said in part:
Failures of the first half of 1899, with
banking and financial included as in all
other accounts published. were 1884,
with liabilities of $49,6G4,66l. Com.
mercial failures were 1853, with liablh.
ties of 42,O62, 1888, of watch S16, 723,.
1853 were manufacturing and 23,011,. :.
364 were trading. In the second quarter
failures were the smallest ever reported
in that quarter of 20 years for which
quarterly reports have been made by
this agency. The average per failure,
7,l65, is the smallest ever known in
any quarter; the average per firm in
business, $12.20, and the ratio Of de-
faulted liabilities to solvent exchanges,
81 cents per 81 900, are both the smallest
ever known in any quarter.
In ten out OF IA branches of manufac
turing, failures were smaller than in
the same quarter Of four of the pre-
previous five years, and in IL out of ID
trading branches. The large failures
for 100000 or more were only two in
trading for 1924, ,0S8, less than tenth of
the smallest previous year, and only 10
in all for $2,417, 180, from a fifth to a
tenth of previous years. The decrease
in small failures is worth especiaI study.
Wheat declined "a of a cent, exports
being but 1880, 021 bushels for the week,
-four included, against 2,643, ,139 last
year, for both coasts, although western
receipts were 1861 ,528 bushels, against
6l8,49 last year. Corn exports are
twice last years, 2,378, 70S bushels,
against 1.20o, ,255 last year for the week,
and the price declined ID.
Scarcity and high prices of iron and
its products can no longer be reckoned
evidence of good times. In the She
mango valley six furnaces have been
stopped by a strike for 20 per cent more
wages, and minor strikes are reported
at various iron works, the tinplate strike
being unsettled. New orders reported
continue large, being evidently reported
week after week at different cities be
cause not taken, but new orders accu
mulated do not equal the output of the
works. Predictions of great scarcity o.
| pigiron have lifted the price still fur
ther to 9l.2 per cent of the averag
| January, 1887, but several more fur
naces are going into operation and the
Illinois Steel company has contracted
for others of the largest capacity.
| Textile manufactures are doing well
and in woolen goods prices tend upward
with considerably better demand, bu
sales of 9.S2S.700 pounds at the thre,
chief markets were mainly to dealers
and the advance in price, 1857 cents pc

Coates Bros, against 1876 cents Jun

Failures for the week have been IL
