friends and relatives In the coal fields
and the coal operators here who have
large financial interests in the devas-

the railroad station awaiting the arrival
of the bclated train. The wires all be-
ing down west of Blucicld, save one,
which goes through to Ennis, but Is
being used as train wire, prevented the
public from gaining any additional par
ticulars. How many are dead is not
definitely known aud il necessarily will
be several days yet before the exact
number can he given out as official, but

ERIE CANAL DOING WELL
Great Increase In Traffic Over Last YeaI
Already Noticeable.

ALBANY. June 20.-The great in
crease in canal traffic over that Of last
year continues and the report of opera
tiOns for the second week of June shows
an increase of over 10000 tons in the
amount of freight carried. The report
for each week since the opening of nav
igation shows large increases, and al
though the canal opened two weeks later
this year than last year, the total for
the period up to date is larger than it
was at this date last year. From the
experience to date aud from the indica-
tions for the future there is every rea-
son to believe according to the officials
Of the state department o fpublic works,
that the canals will experience one of
the most prosperous seasons in their his
tory.
The report for the second week of
June shows that l2D.D9I tons Of freight
were carried. ~ compared with 39,S0O
tons for the corresponding week of 1900;
of tine total number Of tons carried this
year ST. 100 were eust-bound and 30
DDS west-bound freight. The west-bound
freight in amount is practically the same
as last year. while the great increase is
in cast-bound freight.
