INJURED AT A FIRE.
Many Girls Hurt by Jumping from
Windows of n Burning BUILD
ing-One Life Lost.

Reading, Pa, Dec. s.-One of the
most appalling fires that has ever Wis
tied this city occurred Thursday when
the extensive hosiery mill of Nolde G.
Horst Co. took fire, destroying the
plant, causing the death Of one person,
and injuring 81 other employees of the
company. Miss Louisa Clay, aged 4s,
lost her life. The hosiery building was
large, four-story structure. and near
ly 600 persons were employed, most of
them being women and girls. The fire
was discovered about II o'clock, and in
few minutes the girls were panic
stricken. They made a dash for the
fire escape and the stairs, but found
that the latter means of escape could
not carry all of them down at the same
time. Several hundred of the girls then
made a rush for the windows, and APP
pealed to those in the street to save
them. Ladders were brought into use,
and many girls We're taken from the
burning building safely. Most of them,
however, jumped, and were seriously
injured. The fire was caused by the
explosion of gasoline in the smuggling
room. The loss is estimated at about
$275,O0O, on which thf,.e is an insur.
ance of $15O,OG0.

AN ACTIVE YEAR.
The Closing Month Finds Encourage
in: Conditions In Business and
Industrial Lines.

New York. Dec 9.-Bradstrect's says:
"The last month of the year has opened
auspiciously, finding trace and Industry
generally well employed. demand treating
close upon and even passing supply, labor
troubles averted in some instances by
widespread advances in wages, of small
Importance except in one or two cities, and
with the general level of values of staples
at the highest point reached for eight years
past Holiday demand has opened well and
collections from retail trades therefore
show some improvement. After year OF
unprecedented activity and advancing
prices, iron and steel are quiet, with few
significant changes. partly because the
season of the year does nos favor new
work, and partly also owing to the TACT
that producers are very generally sold up
to the middle of next year. Prices show no
marked change. More seasohapie wealher
conditions have further stimulated the de-
mand for boots and shoes nj numerous
points, and hides and leather retain all
the strength gained as result or last
months general rise. Notwithstanding
advanced stage Of the season. lumber,
hardwood particularly. continues in active
demand at most markets"
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of trade
says: 1.-The approach OF new year usual
~ brings SO much of hesitation in business
that the small shrinkage this year is sur
prising. Probably never before have the
productive forces Of the country been sc
| largely covered by contracts at this date
insuring employment and profit far into
the coming year. This results. not from
| any mere speculative excitement, but from
actual demands for consumption running
far beyond the producing capacity hereto
! fore, and pushing 1t to remarkable eNpan'
sion. The increase in foreign trade has
been insignificant, compared with the In
| crease of s24.COO.G0O in payments through
/ clearing houses. For the week payment:
have been 2o.3 per cent. larger than last
year, and SS.1 per cent. larger Than in 1882.
Wheat has risen three cents and corn 3
fraction, with decline in western receipts Of
both. Atlantic exports of wheat for the
week. flour included, were Only S,S59,67
| bushels, against 5,636,7G7 last year and Pa
ci1c exports sS6.172, against 55i,52S last year

ALL HANDS PERISH.
The Steamer Niagara Undoubtedly
Wrecked ON Lake Erie-Six-
teen Lives Lost.

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. lit is now GER
tain that the Canadian steamer Mag
ara, Capt. Henry McCiory, foundered on
Tuesday evening last, about eight miles
east of Long point, Lake Erie, with all
hands, numbering 16 persons. Tugs
sent out from Port Colborne and from
Buffalo to search for the missing steam
err have returned, bringing with them
great quantities of wreckage picked up
near where the steamer is supposed to
have foundered. The wreckage in
cludes part of the Niagara's deck, por-
tons of the cabin, deck beams, other
material, and quantity of shingles
marked Parry Sound" from which port
the Niagara sailed for Buffalo. Judg-
ing from the amount of wrecllage that
has been found, the Niagara must have
broken up badly in the storm. 1t is the
opinion of lake captains that the boat
went down in deep water about eight
miles east of Long point, as none of her
spars has been found, and if she had
gone down in shallow water they would
be sticking up.

DELEGATES AT DETROIT.
The American Federation of Labor
Opens Its Session with Near
~ 200 Present.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 12.-Nearly 200
delegates, representing all branches Of
trade unionism, with an estimated total
membership of nearly 100000, were
seated at writing tables, scattered over
the floor of Harmonic hall, when the
nineteenth annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor was
called to order.
After adoption of resolution of
sympathy for President Gompers, the
annual report OF" President Gompers
was read by Vice President Duncan.
In his report President Gompers
noted revival of industry and said it
was cause for congratulation, espe-
cially as the wages of organized workers
have been increased and the hours of
labor in many cases reduced. He re-
ported the growth of unionism during
the year as gratifying. All divisions of
labor and the questions at issue were
touched upon by the president. Mr..
Gompers said the toiling masses had
ever yearned for n period of universal
peace, and if that time ever came 1t
would be welcomed by them. He took
strong ground against expansion and
miltarsm.

TAYLOR WINS.
of Kentucky Gets Ccrtihcnte on
Face of Returns.
ance of s

Frankfort, Ky, Dec. 9.-The state
board of elections Friday night gave
out their official findings that w. S.
Taylor, for governor, and the rest of
the republican ticket have been elect
ed on the face of returns. Commits
sioners Ellis and Pryor signed the
majority report, in which they hold
that as a board of canvassers they
have no right to go behind the returns
of the county board; that their duties
are purely ministerial as canvassers;
that the face of the returns as re-
ceived by them from the counties
show the election of the republican
state ticket, and certificates of cleo
ton were ordered issued to each can
didate thereon. Commissioner Payntz
presents q minority report which he
closes by saying: II am unwilling to
certify fraud and to turn Kentucky
over to the control of the bayonct,
gatling gun and the fraudulent tissue
ballots" Extensive preparations are
being made to inaugurate Taylor next
Tuesday.
