of an octopus-a housekeepers' trust,

similar services will hereafter cost more
money than heretofore. The domestic
help of Danviile has formed a trust, ar
ranged a scale of prices and subscribed
20 an iron-clad oath, for the purpose of
raising prices and shortening hours of la

not want to meet the rates. why. they
have the alternative of doing the work
themselves. All of the domestic workers
in town are members of the union, hence
the chances are they will get what they

Women who have married daughters
owe debt Of gratitude to Charles M.
Schwab, president of the Billion Dollar
Steel Trust. He has rescued mothers-in-
law from opprobrium and set them upon
a pinnacle. Where the mother-in-law was
previously despised and rejected, it is to
be expected that she will now be coddied
and catered to. Mr. Schwab has erected
d splendid church In Pittsburg in honor
of his wife's mother. and this. too. while
she is in the flesh. There is said TO be
no precedent for any such thing in this
country or any other; but since Schwab
is an original and successful young man.
it is to be assumed that his action will
be regarded as a precedent for others.
Thus through the steel kings influence
the mother-in-law may become fad and
attain to that eminence in the home cir
Gle which she has heretofore been denied
by short-sighted sons-in-law.

Rarely says r. q. Dun q Go. g
Review, has there been more business
in staples and in manufactured goods
at practically UNCHANGED prices than
during the period slice November LIST.
This week seems to have marked the
climax OF enormous dealings at figures
which have become familiar. The
heavy trade in pig iron, at better prices,
the larger distribution Of dry goods at
a tirmer range of quotations, and the
rush to secure prompt delivery of boots
and shoes, all indicate that business
may have escaped one of those weary
establishments of prices which have
often proved so trying in recsnt years.
Joobing trade in the interior Is good,
and collections continue excellent.
Bank clearings at New York gain 50.
per cent over 1900, and l.3 per cent over
1890 for the week, while at leading
cities outside New York there is u gain
of 0. $ Fer cent over 1900 and 8. a per
cent over 1899. Railroad earnings thus
far reported for January show gain of
liza per cent over lasu year and "a. 9
per cent over 1899. After a week of
quiet conditions, partly due to uncer-
tainty regarding competition among
leading interests, the iron and steel in
dustry has taken another long stride
forward. The feature was enormous
buying of pig iron at an advance to
sl9. % at Pittsburg. Foreign trade at
New York for three weeks OF January
was, however, less satisfactory. Ex-
ports for the last two weeks were
heavy. but compared with . liberal

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 16.-The
joint conference of the Indiana miners and
operators did not make much Roadway to-
day. the time being taken up with some OF
the many details of a long contract, but
there is little doubt of an agreement the
first of the week.
At a meeting of the miners convention
President Van Horn submitted a letter
from State Mine Inspector Epperson, in
which he said he had not opposed the bill
requiring expert shooters of explosives,
but mad only informed the Legislature that
he thought the bill to increase the efficiency
of his office was more important TO the
mining industry. a motion was made TO
call on State G~eologist Blatchley TO remove
Mr.. Epperson, but after some discussion II
was decided again to ask him to come be-
fore the convention. In his letter he said
he would refer to State Labor Commissions
er Mccormack and others at Indianapolis
as to his action before the Legislature.
The committee that made a report against
hIm said that the men he named were
the ones that gave information against
him. They are TO be asked to be present
when EpperSOn appears.

FOUR PERSONS BURNED
ED DAVIS'S s.UNCLE TOMS CABIN
COMPANY COMES TO GRIEF.
Special Car Destroyed and Four of
the Incinerated-
One from Indiana.

MISSOULA, Mont, March 16.-At Olive,
a station forty-five miles west of Missoula,
this morning a special car containing the
Ed Davis Uncle Toms Cabin company,
was burned, four members of the company
losing their lives. The dead are:
MINNIE HEARST, cook, aged twenty
eight, Mitchell, Ind.
BERT REED, musician, aged twenty-six,
Columbus, Kan.
RENE LUCASSE, musician, aged twen-
ty-four, Kalamazoo, Mich.
JOHN HOLLMANS, musician, aged TWEEN
ty-four, Parkersburg, la.
The car was attached to the regular east
bound train. The fire broke out in the
sleeper apartments. Most of the company
escaped without injury and stood at the
doors of the car and seized the unfortu-
mates whose night clothes were burning as
they ran from their berths, and rolled them
in blankets. One, crazed with pain, envel-
oped in flames, broke through the Gordon
at the door and jumped into the river, from
which he was rescued with difficulty. When
the fire was discovered the train was
stopped, and by hard work the dogs and
donkeys and paraphernalia of the company
We're saved.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. Coro-
ner Hayes was notified OF the tragedy and
went to the scene of the wreck, taking
collins with him, but the manager of the
theatrical company denied that any of his
people had lost their lives. Even members
of the company insisted that no one was
missing. Late this afternoon it was learned
for the first time hat lives were lost. The
coroner has with sC.he difficulty procured
the charred remains of Minnie Hearst, Bert
Reed and Rene Lucasso. The body of Boil
mans lies at the morgue.
