FEW PARALLELS IN VOLUME.
Wholesale and Retail Business Near It.
HIGHEST Mark

HigneSt marx.
Bradstreet's statement of trade says:
Holiday trade activity, of course,
reaches its highest development during
the week before Christmas, and it is sig
nihcant of the prosperous conditions un-
derlying the general business situation
that reports almost without exception
point 10 volume of business having
few, it any, parallels in previous years.
Another significant feature developed
also is that the demand for such goods
embraces higher class and a more ex-
pensirc grade of materials, conclusion
among trade reporters being that larg-
er buying capacity exists now than in
any previous year in the countrys his-
tory. Wholesale trade at this season
usually shows a quieting tendency, but
it is questionable whether this tendency
is as marked this year as in former Pc
riods. Prices generally have shown ex-
ceptional strength The great majority
of staple quotations remaining unchanS-
ed as 4 result of the weeks operations.
As exceptions TO this might be instanced
-four, pork, coffee and lead, which are
higher, while copper, cotton and Tin are
lower. Wheat, including -four, shipments
for the week aggregate 2,S13,I ia bushels.

PERISH IN A STORM.
Twenty-onc English Sailors Lose Their

Lives.
In terrific storm the British steam
ship Ariosto was wrecked on Diamond
shoals, off Cape Hatteras, and twenty
one of the crew were drowned. Had
they remained on the ship until the life
savers succeeded in making connection
from the shore to the wreck all would
have been saved. The captain and eight
men remained on the boat till breeches
buoy was rugged up and they were saved.
The twenty one men who chose to risk
their fate in the ships lifeboat were
drowned between the vessel and the
shore.
The Ariosto, 2,265 tons net register,
sailed from Galveston bound for Ham
burg via Norfolk, where she meant to
touch for coal. Dense fog has prevailed
off this coast for several days, and, al
though it lifted the night before, it is
believed that the ship had previously lost
her bearings and got too close inshore.
Soon after the AriostO struck the waves
began to roll over her, and twenty-one
men of her crew launched three of her
boats and attempted to come ashore.
Within plain sight of the watchers, in
Guiding the crews of the life-saving sta
tions, who stood upon the beach, power
less TO help them, the boats crews lost
their lives. One after another the three
boats foundered in the heavy seas. Not
one succeeded in reaching the shore, and
not one of the occupants escaped with
his lie. Captain Baines and eight men,
the remainder of the thirty aboard the
vessel, elected to remain aboard the ship
after she struck, and this saved their
lives.
Strenuous efforts were made by the
crews of the Hatteras and Ocracoke life
saving stations to save the imperiled men
on the Ariosto. After several Intellectual
efforts to land line aboard the doomed
ship by firing it from the gun ashore, it
was accomplished. \ line which reached
the stranded steamer was by those
aboard made fast to the mast, and the
breeches buoy of the Ocracoke stations
crew was sent out to the ship by Captain
Howard. Soon above the boiling seas &
man in the buoy slid ashore on the life
line, while wild cheers arose from those
on shin and shore

fornia and caused extensive disaster. AT
San Jacinto, town in Riverside County,
the shock seemed to have had its center.
1t lasted twelve seconds only, but the
severity was great. At the Baboda In
dian reservation six squaws were killed
by falling walls, two fatally and many
seriously injured. The main shock was
preceded by q loud, roaring sound and
awakening many just in time to escape
from the doomed buildings. The business
street was such a wreck tons of debris
had to be removed before buildings could
be entered. Over $4,000 damage is es
timated at San Jacinto and at Hemit,
small town near by. At the latter
place the large tourist hotel was badly
damaged and also the hospital at San
Jacinto. The rear wall of the Johnston
block in Hemit fell. Fortunately no per-
son was injured at either place so far as
is known.
Other places where the shock was Sc
verely felt were Santa Ana, Anheim, San
Bernardina and Riverside. However, nc
heavy damage is reported from any of
those places. In Santa Ana guests of
hotels were almost rolled from their beds,
clocks We're stopped and brick walls of
several buildings were badly cracked.
People reused from their beds, rushed to
the streets, some in their night clothing,
and remained up until daylight. The
shock was terrific at Needles, but no Sc
riOus damage was reported. At Ventura
houses were damaged and the shock was
followed by high wind and heavy sea.
The heaviest earthquake ever known
occurred at Anaheim. 1t lasted ten see
onds and was violent from the begin
ming. Lodging houses were emptied and
the streets We're filed with shiverins
people. A number of buildings were
cracked. but no serious damage was done.
The county hospital at Bowers was dam
aged by the earthquake. The shock al
most shook Hemit to pieces. There are
but two chimneys left in town. At Red
lands the shock lasted one minute and
a quarter.

London special: The latest special dis

1t is reported by the same dispatches
that the Beers have now retired TO the
north bank of the Tugela, being afraid
that the swollen river may bar their re-
treat. They are also moving their laagers
nearer Ladysmith, probably with the in
tention of putting further pressure on the
garrison, which now seems to be suffering
pretty heavily from bombardment.

FORTY KNOWN TO BE DEAD.
List of Victims of Brazne1l Mine Ex
p1osion Is Very Large.

List of Victims of Brazne1l Mine Ex-
pIosion Is Very Large.
The horror of the Braznell mine ex-
plosion near Brownsville, Pa, is worse
than first estimated. Tuesday morning
the number of dead was known to be
over forty.
The explosion was terrific, and was
heard plainly at Brownsville, four miles
distant The main shaft was totally
wrecked and rendered helpless. About
four cages of men had gone down to
work. Mr.. Thomas, the cageman, on
his fourth trip, went to the bottom with
fourteen men, and gave the signal for
the cage to rise, when the explosion oc-
Cured. The cage was blown with ter
rife force to the top of the shaft, and
fell back to the bottom, completely block
ing across the mine. Timbers were hurl-
ed hundreds of feet; the lower ring of
brick work in one shaft was completely
wrecked, and had to be tunneled to get
into the mine at all.
The explosion was caused by miners
naked light coming into contact with gas
in a room where no gas was supposed to
exist. The tippie was wrecked and the
buildings over the fan and the engine
were shattered to splinters. The iron
work at the bottom of the shaft was
twisted in all imaginable shapes, telling
plainly of the awful force of the eXplo-
sion. Immediately following the roar of
the underground inferno black damp
poured out Of the pit mouth, inviting
suffocation and death to those who would
gladly have entered and gone to the res
cue. A temporary cage was rigged up
ut the air shaft and rescuers went down.
A ghastly sight met their gaze. Mangled
bodies were found on all sides. The mine
looked like total wreck. The rescuers
pushed on and soon fourteen men were
taken out. Some of these were dying.
and nearly all were horribly mangled.
Fire broke out in the mines, and if any
of the men still there were alive there
was every indication that they would be
suffocated by smoke and their bodies
burned.
