Der 80 against 20 last week in Canada,

r. G. Dun Il Co. g Report says: "The
situation is without precedent. BUSH
ness has never been better on the
whole, and in some great industries
the gain is astonishing. Exports sur
pass last years as much as imports,
though the excess over imports then
was heavy. Failures are smaller than
last year, and smaller than in either of
six years past. The upward rush of
16.5 per cent in the prices of pig iron
since January lst and l7.6 per cent in
prices of iron and steel products does
indeed raise question whether exports
of such products may not be tenn
porarily checked. The crush Of de-
mand for finished products, at time
when nearly all the works are crowded
by orders covering production until
July LIST or later, causes many to refuse
to contract beyond that date except at
higher prices, and rise under such
circumstances may prove the one thing
needful to sober buyers and to bring
into the list of producers other estab-
lishments heretofore idle. The best
sign is that the great producers appear
to be anxious to maintain their holds
on foreign markets, although Just now
unable to execute orders for future de-
livery.
SIT is sign of similar import that
the boot and shoe manufacturers, Just
at this time, seek better markets by a
somewhat general reduction of 21s
cents in prices, although leather
averages slightly higher. 49,

DWELLING BADLY DAMAGED.
A Serious Fire at the Residence of Arthur
W. Hukiit, on Thirty-second Street.

W. Husiii, on Thirty-second Street.
Shortly after 10 o'clock on Saturday
fire broke out in the second story of
the residence Of Arthur w. hukill. No.
d0G West Thirty street, and as
sooE as possible Officer Barr turned in
an alarm from box No. 2l4, at Thirtieth
and Washington streets. The district
companies of the Fire Department re-
sronded, but had great difficulty in
reaching the scene Of the fire on ac-
count of the bad condition of the
Streets, and when they were near
enough to do any good tho steamers
were unable to get water without a
great deal of difficulty, The fremen did
good service, however. and with the
assistance Of the Washington chemical
engine, the fire was extineuished in as
short time as could be expected,
although the two taps were not sent in
until y o'clock, which indicated that
all signs of fire had disappeared
was in the house, but as fire had been
left in a stove on the first floor, from
which there was a flue leading to the
second floor, it is thought the flue be-
came overheated, although nothing is
definitely known as to the origin of
the blaze. The second and third stories
of the house, together with their con-
tents, were badly damaged by fire and
water and the furniture on the first
floor sustained damage from water and
smoke.
The loss, it is thought, will amount
10 something like $1,000, which, it is
said, is partially covered by insurance.

TIE WEEK in WALL STREET
Stock Prices Moved Rather
lrregularly Saturday.
PROFESSIONAL BEARS AT WORK
Some Securities That Showed
a Good Gain.


New York, Feb. %. Stock prices
moved rather irregularly since Friday.
The general railway list shows mixed
changes, with slight losses predominant
ing, while number of important gains
occurred in tho specialties. Sterling
exchange was stronger, owing to the
small offerings of commercial bills and
inquiry for remittances in connection
with the London sales.
Toward tho close of the week pro-
fessional bears made much of q reported
impending government bond issue,
which. however. met prompt denials;
and of Admiral Dewey's request for 0
battleship for political" purposes.
American Tobacco made net gain
of about 4S, although the stock at one
time was quoted SO points above the
lowest figure week ago. The rise was
accompanied by the unofficial an
nouncement that there was to be some
kind of a consolidation with rival con-
Germs, although earlier the movement
had the appearance of being a bear
campaign against the short interests,
some of whom refused to cover.
Consolidated Gas was lifted nearly ID
points in expectation of legislation per-
hitting the more economical manu-
facture of gas in outlying territory.
Third Avenue Railroad rose n points,
rartly on the discovery of a hitherto
unsupported short interest.
Favorable reports, actively dis
seminated, of the conditions in the iron
and steel industries aided the manipul
lation upward of American Steel and
Wire of over 10 points, and the pres
ferred about half as much.
The temperance Of the story that
the coal trade conditions would be
harmonized benefited the active Ans
thracites, New Jersey Central making
net gain of 514.
The recessions in number of promi-
nent railways were partly influenced
by the weakness of Burlington, which
lost some five points on disappointment
at the restricted scope of the refunding
plan connected with the property.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Harold j.. Springer OF This City in Dtsas
trous Railroad Wreck mt Philadelphia.

Harold j.. Springer oil TINS City IN Oishs-
trous Railroad Wreck mt Philadelphia.
Harold l.. Springer of this city, son
of DIR. Willard Springer, had a narrow
escape from death in q wreck on the
Pennsylvania railroad at the Belmont
avenue bridge, Philadelphia, Friday
afternoon. AS it was, however. he es-
capped With only few slight bruises.
The collision. which was between IN
express and an accommodation train,
resulted from an open switch. Wesley
Walton of Philadelphia, fireman of one
Of tho locomotives, was killed, and
nine other people were badly injured.
Mr.. Springer had boen to Bryn Mawr
and was on his way to Philadelphia.
He noticed the sudden stop when tho
brakes were applied 10 the wheels OF
the car IN which no was riding and
arose from his seat to sec what was
wrong. In an instant the crash came
and he was thrown headlong in the
aisle. He was quickly upon his feet
and ran to the rear of the car, where
he escaped by climbing out of win
dow. He found that he had not been
much hurt and helped number Of
other people from the cars. Afterward
he re-entered the car and discovered
that the seat which he had occupied
was shattered to splinters, and If he bad
been in it he would undoubtedly have
been killed.

BUReLAHs ON THE NORrn SIDE.



North of tho Brandywinn.
Burglars visited several houses north
of the BrandYwine early on Friday
morning, but as far as is known they
succeeded in cffecting an entrance at
only two places. At ono place, the
residence Of LOWS Yonkcrs, No. Is
East Twenty fourth street, much mis-.
chief was done and ~ effort was evil
IDENTITY Eaade to fire the house. Entrance
was effected about s o. clock, by forcing
open tho front door. The intrudors
searched the lower part OF tie house
and in cropping about, either acct
dentally or by design, set fire to a
napkin, the smoke from which awoke
the people in the house and tho noise
made by the latter or an alarm clock
evidently frightened tho burglars off.
Nothing of value was taken, but things
were found strewn about the rooms on
tho ground floor. .s 81,
Between midnight aud daylight burg
lars entered the residence of Charles
Taylor OF No. zoos Boulevard, but as
far as is known nothing was stolen
but an overcoat. An entrance was
effected by breaking one Of tho front
windows. Tho intruders examined
things about the house, but were evil
dontiy frightened off before they had
time to secure much booty.
Attempts were made to enter the
residences of b. F. Shaw, on the Boule-
ward; Andrew 4. Klett, No. "a East

MEMORIAL TO DIR. MURRAY.
Impressive Service Was Held in Sc, An
drew's church Last Night.

drew's Church Last Night r.
A service in memory of the Rev.
Charles e. Murray, d. D., was held
on Friday in ST. Andrews Church,
with which he had been connected for
about II years. Members of st. An
drev's and other churches were present
to honor the memory of the Beloved
Clergyman. Bishop Coleman, who
officiated, had arranged special SER
vice for the occasion similar to the one
used at meeting of the Board Of Mis-
siops in indianapolis in memory of the
Rev. DR.. Langford, associate secretary
of the board.
Special music was sung by the choir,
the numbers including For All the
Saints Who froro Their Labors Rest, -
peace, Perfect Peace,,'' II Heard a
Voice from Heaven and clark, the
Sound of Holy Voices. !"
The clergymen present included
Acting Rector L.. w. Batten of st. An
drews, the Revs. W. S. Baer, DR..
Faulkner, g. P. Walker, DIR. Stranger
and George A. Latimer of Philadelphia,
and III. Ashton Henry. Martin B. Dun
lap, ii. W. Cunningham, Kensey j.
Hammond of this city, and tho Rev.
+, M. Munson CT New Castle.
The memorial sermon was preached
by Bishop Coleman, who reviewed the
life of DIR. Murray in college and the
divinity school. which was the earnest
beginning of his later and beautiful
life. He came to St. Andrews as as
sistant to Bishop Lee.
"As u rector" said the bishop,
"his ruling was always that of love
and gentleness. He never asserted his
authority merely to exercise it, but only
out of sense of responsibility attached
to its possession, and from a desire that
it should serve the greatest purposes of
his ministry. have seldom known a
rector more depotedly attached to his
parish as such. This was out of no
mere sentimentalism. There was in
him an affection for and pride in ST.
Andrews, which admitted Of no un
favorable comparison of it with any
other parish in the land"
In concluding, he said: Ellis life we
know has not been lived in vain.
Many even now bless and thank God
for what he made them. Many more,
doubtless, will hereafter in the time of
resurrection confess these debts to him,
while they own their supremest obliga-
lions to their Saviour. To bring his
people nearer to God and have them to
abide eternally in His heatitic pres
ence, was his aim and prayer, again
exemplifving a picture Of a faithful
and true nastor."

A farm wagon drawn by two fright
ened horses, which were running away.
collided at Front and West streets on
Saturday with u pole belonging to the
city fire alarm and police telegraph
service, breaking the pole off short.
The horses were thrown to the ground
and injured slightly and the harness
was badly damaged. The breaking of
the pole did not interfere with the fire
and police service
