CURIOUS FISH FROM WELL.
They Had Neither Head Nor Tail and
Could Swim Backward or Forward.


GOSHEN. n. Y, Feb. 15.-Some time
ago a driven well was sunk at the Howell
creamery, Pine Island. to the depth Of
$50 feet. The supply of water obtained
equalled only one-quarter of the amount
necessary, and in order to obtain a great
er supply two charges of joveite, new
explosive, were discharged by William j.
Brown, an expert in its use. Both
charges were set off simultaneously by
an electric battery. and a column Of wa
ter eight inches in diameter was thrown
to a height of 800 feet.
Many curious things came up from the
bottom of the well, including three GU
rious fish. They were about eight inches
long and had neither head nor tail, both
ends being alike. They could swim as
easily backward as forward and were not
provided with eyes or mouth. There
were several small orifices at each end
of these curious fish. When they came
down with a shower of stones from the
top of the column Of water they bounded
repeatedly many feet in the air.
One was captured by a Polander, who,
curious to see its interior. struck it with
a duh hatchet but made no impression
whatever upon the fish, although he
killed it. One is still alive in captivity.

SEATTLE, Wash. Feb. 16.-A special
to The Post-Intelligencer from Victoria
says:
What is feared will prove TO be one Of
the most horrible mine accidents in the
history not only Of the province, but Of
the dominion. took place Friday at the
Union mines, owned by the yelling Col
liery company, of which James Duns-
muir, premier OF the province, is the prin-
cipal shareholder. The telegraphic ad-
vices received so far give no complete
story of the accident.
As near as can be gathered the explo-
sion took place about IL o'clock in the
forenoon in No. 6 shaft, situated in the
village OF Cumberland. There were 60
men in it when the explosion took place
and not one escaped.
The explosion ignited the mine, wreck
ing the shaft from midway down to the
bottom, and filling il with solid mass
Of rocks, earth and timbers. The first
explosion was followed by several more,
from the vent holes indicated that fire
while a dense volume Of smoke pouring
us well as gas was doing destructive
work below
As soon as possible the men Of the
morning shift in No. shaft organized a
rescue party. No. is situated about a
mile from No. 6. but the two workings
are connected by tunnel, and through
this channel an attempt was made TO help
the unfortunate men in the wrecked
shaft.
They had not cut their way many yards
through the debris when they encoun-
tered fire, which rendered the place un-
tenable and obliged the party to desist.
Overcome at last by gas and smoke they
reluctantly withdrew from No. and
commenced work on long cut from No.
4, the only other means of reaching the
men. Work on this was prosecuted with
the greatest vigor until abatement of the
Gre In No. 8 enabled them to once more
return there.

REVIEW OF TRADE.


~--N-@N"
Basiness Throughout the Country.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1G.-Bradstreet',
review Of trade says:
Trade advices are rather more cheer
full. Prices show exceptional strength,
all things considered. the one weak spot
being raw cotton. which shares the rather
unsatisfactory tone manifested by the
cotton goods and yarn markets. For
eign demand for our breadstuffs has been
rather better, and this is reflected in
heavy exports, particularly Of corn.
Specially cheerful reports from the shoe
and leather, the lumber and the iror
trades, the strength of prices Of the lat
ter having been increased by the talk OF
pending consultations. although the
volume of business is restricted from the
same cause. Failures are smaller than
Of late, and current railroad earnings
show large gains over good returns 9
year ago.
Despite the check to new business
given by the talk Of consolidation, a fail
volume of trade is doing at all leading
iron markets and the advances noted In
these columns last week are firmly held
Expectations of favorable outcome in
,he negotiations for combination Of the
principal steel companies caused the
stocks Of those concerns to show decided
f"mness and readiness to advance. I'm
certainty as to the terms Of the deal,
however, checked the development of
speculation in them.

ENGLAND is INTERESTED
Inclined 10 Take the Russian Side In Tariff
War with United slAtes.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-There is consid-
cradle interest here in the outcome of the
tariff difficulties between the United
States and Russia. The advocates of a
change in the British fiscal system hope
to find in them some support Of their
contentious that retaliatory duties should
be imposed on countries taxing British
products. The st. James Gazette says:
"Some Americans. including Secretary
Gage, appear to think the United States
have the monopoly of the protection pol
icy, bat they have been sharply remind
ed by Russia that two can play at the
game of hostile tariffs, as the import Of
Russian sugar is trihe compared with
the exports TO Russia. The present game
Of retaliation is one in which Russia
holds the best cards Therefore she will
win most of the tricks"
