The general situation was without
important change, the events of the

tive trade and speculation in securi-
ties continue large in volume with
prices rising in the more favored in

from suppression. AS types of these
movements, the iron and cotton gods
industries were pre-eminent and these
two seem like opposite poles. SO
marked is the difference in trade in
feeling and conditions. In most other
industries the reports were quite Ia
vorable, notable In this direction be-
ing the lumber, leather and hardware
and implement trades. Western and
southern distributive trade reports are
quite favorable and the reports Of
active demand for dry goods and cloth

the reports of dull business and the
receding prices of print cloths.

Phelps, of Richmond, KY, and James
Stansbury, of this city, were cleaning
the inside of an eight-foot upright
boiler at the Cerealine mills Sunday

the steam, thinking the cock was tight.
1t leaked and the scalding steam
poured in on the two men, The only
exit was up a ladder to a manhole in
the top. Bnth jumped for the ladder.
Phelps reached it first, took one step
and stopped. He jumped aside and
shouted: "You go first, Jim, you are
married" Stansbury sprang up the
ladder and escaped with slight burns
about the face and legs. Though
Phelps followed at his heels, his act
of heroism cost him his life. Both
men were being cooked when Phelps
jumped aside. By the time he had
followed Stansbury up the ladder the
flesh was dropping from his limbs. He
was cooked alive, and with supreme
effort dragged his scalded body from
the manhole. He lived for two hours
in terrible agony, but did not let a
groan escape him. ''It was Jim's right
to go first" said he, quietly. ''He is
married" Phelps has been boarding
at Stansbury's house. Both men are
