stencil from the thousands of
dead.
Careful inspection showed that
the fiery stream which so COM
pletely destroyed St. Pierre must
have been composed of poisonous
gasses, which instantly suffocat-
ed every one who inhaled them,
and of other gases burning furi-
ously, for nearly all the victims
had their hands covering their
mouths or were in some other at
titude showing that they had
sought relief from suffocation.
All the bodies were carbonized
or roasted.
From the Italian ship Teresa
Lovico several men were saved,
but they are in a frightful state,
except Jean Louis Prudent of
ST, Pierre. Although on deck
and unprotected, he was little
burned.
Prudent says there Was first
an awful noise of explosion, and
then, right away, cyclone of
smoke and fire, but such was the
poisonous, choking nature of the
smoke that it burned worse than
the fire. When it struck people
they fell dead. The cyclone of
gas tore the masts out of the
ship, blew others up, and sunk
some of them.
Soon afterward came a wave
of fire bigger than the smoke
cloud. ''That cloud" continued
Prudent, twas bigger. it seemed,
than the mountain.

saw only dead men, but on shore
| saw men and women rushing
back and forth amid the flames
for an hour. They would not
run long. Then came that chok-
ing smoke, and they would drop
like dead flies.
"The explosion, smoke and
fire all came and went in three
minutes, but the city burned for
three hours. Then every house
was destroyed, and nothing alive
was left.
"Some men from the sinking
ships got to shore, but they were
burned up there.
"At no time were there any
earthquakes; but big stones were
rained down and fire fell like
rain for a long time"
The relief parties which have
reached the city are compelled to
burn the dead bodies to ward off
pestilence.
Curiously enough. the features
of the dead were generally calm
and reposeful, although in some
cases terrible fright and agony
were depicted. Grim piles of
bodies were stacked everywhere,
showing that death had stricken
them while the crowds were vain.

deluge. On one spot a group of
nine children were found locked
in each others arms.
The vaults of the bank of Mar
Unique, at the head of what had
been the Rue de Hospital, we're
found intact. They contained
two million francs in specie and
other securities, which was sent
here for keeping.
Lava continues to stream down

by terrific thunder and lightning.

Lord Derby dropping back at every stride until he
was last AZ the half Lord Derby began to show
speed At the three-quarters he tried 10 overhaul
The Monk, but It was too late and Geers flashed

While the time broke The Monks record, it BY
no means damaged Lord Derby's reputation, for
when the second heat was called he was still IA
Torite at even money. IN this heat Lord Derby
made mistake in laying back far at the
start, for he followed The Monk like shadow

both Geers and Spear, but they went under the

the Countess Warranaer. widow of a Dutch
count. June 10 last, and the driver of his

opinion that it not going more than ten
miles an hour. The magistrate, however. re-
marked that he had just had a personal ex-
perience of the pace at which the New Yorker
travelled. On his way to court he encountered

strengthening of print cloths. Buyers and sellers of staple cotton. however, con- tinue apart and sales are not heavy. The contrary Is true in the jobbing branch. particularly In prints and ginghams The latter are heavily sold ahead in. all de- partments. Plain dress woolens have held their favorable portion of previous weeks. A good trade in lines and silk is also re- ported at New York. Raw wool has re- mained steady on moderate demand and restricted supplies. Recent London wool sale prices are above parity with our markets. The spring demand for boots and shoes Is still not active, though more is doing at Philadelphia Trade is re- ported slow at Chicago and only grad ually opening up at Boston. Shipments from the East during January. however. were 10 per cent in excess of year ago. Leather remains steady and in fair de mand despite the weakening in prices of hides. Demand for sugar remains slow and prices are without material change on the week while increased weight of coffee supplies has caused another reduc- ton in that product.

A prominent lawyer and public speaker of Pittsburg says: 'I have been troubled with catarrh of the head and throat for twelve years In this climate 1t seems impossible to get rid of 1t. The continual dropping of mucus form the nose into the throat caused irritation and hoarseness seriously interfering with my public speaking. It took me an hour or more of coughing, gagging, expectorating and sneezfng every morning before I could settle down to work and this condition gradually brought on catarrh of stom- ach. causing loss of appetite, poor diges- ton and a foul breath. which annoyed me exceedingly. My physician advised me to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and took them for two months and was astonished to find how quickly they clear cd my head, throat anu stomach and I have no hesitation in recommending them. They are not only pleasant to take, but they seem to get at the very root of the trouble, because since using them I have had no trace of catarrh.
 Druggists sell Stuart's catarrh Tab lets at 50 cents for full sized package.
 They can be carried in the pocket and used any time and often as desired since they contain no cocaine, mercury ss. srr ethsr iniiitioits drug.

An Ideal
 Medicine.
A New Discovery Which Cures All
 Forms of Catarrh.


 The tablet is the ideal form in which to administer medicine. but until recent ly no successful catarrh tablet had ever been attempted. There is now, however, an excellent and palatable rem edy for catarrh in tablet form, known as Stuart 8 Catarrh Tablets and sold by druggists, composed of the most recent discoveries in medicine for cure of catarrh and re- suits from their use have been highly gratifying.
 The old time treatment of catarrh was in the form of inhalers, washes, douches, sprays, etc. Later on internal remedies were used with greater success, but be- ing in liquid or powder form were incon- venient to use and like all medicines in liquid or powder form. lose their medi- cinial properties when opened or exposed to the air.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain high ly concentrated antiseptics Red Gum, Blood Root, etc., which kill the catarrh germs in the blood and mucous mem- brane, and in this respect are strictly scientific and modern, because all au- thorities are now agreed that catarrh is a constitutional blood disease, and local applications can have only a transitory effect.
 The use of inhalers. douches and sprays is nuisance and inconvenience and can in nowise compare favorably with the same antiseptics given in tablet form in formally. where they can reach the stom- ach and blood and kill catarrh germs right where they are produced

GREAT FAMINE IN
 THE IRON MARKET
Pressing Demand for Crude Iron as Well as Finished Products
TRADE OUTLOOK FAVORABLE
Dun ano Bradstreet Say January as a Whole Will Compare Favorably With the Record of
 s Year Ago.

New York. February 7.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Trade developments this week have l been largely favorable. All the measures of legitimate trade points to January equaling in most respects and exceeding in many the records of year ago. Fail ures. it is true, were larger in number, but the increase was all at the south, from which trade reports have been poor, but show slightly more hopeful trend since cotton has taken it's move upward.
 The general level of prices moved slightly downward during January owing l to lower prices of speculatively dealt in 1 chemicals. Most of the decline in food products has been recovered since Febru- ary 1. The close of the week finds con fident feeling prevailing in nearly all lines of distrbutive trade. features in which have been the enlarged buying by south ern and southwestern jobbers at Chicago and other western cities. The southwest ern drouth has been entirely broken by i the additional snowfall.
 Demand for Iron and Steel. Demand is again passing production in iron and steel. There is virtual famine alike of crude pig iron and of finished products of steel. Pig iron sales in Janu- ary in Pittsburg were the heaviest in any | month for a year past Premiums of 50 cents per ton on pig iron paid east and west, a southern railroad has gone abroad for its steel rails, Canadian steel billets are coming to Pittsburg, and a brisk importing movement is looked for. ' This has promptly been reflected in ad- vances at foreign markets. Hardware is very active at nearly all markets. Copper, after its excited fall and no less excited rise, has steadied at slight advance on last week.
 Tin and lead are also higher. The worlds statistics of wheat movement have been, on the whole, rather bulish this week and, coupled with cold weather caused some strengthening. Toward the close of the week come export inquiry developed in wheat. The margin in favor of the cash article has widened during the past six weeks and the actual stuff is really higher than a month ago. Flour is in better demand at St. Louis. Corn and oats have sympathized within mar row limits. Hog products have advanced with the coarse grains and also because receipts of hogs have been small
 Bulls Found Opportunity.
 The bulls in cotton found a long-looked | for opportunity in the reduced movement of supplies from the interior, part of which is conceded to be due to cold wealth CT. Additional strengthening features have been the cheeful tones of foreign and domestic trade reports and the
