New York, April 30-In dry goods to-
day no material Improvement Is noted In
buying. Reports from retailers state
that they are not as busy as might be
expected for this time of the year. With
cotton at its present level there is little
warrant for manufacturers to shave
prices. The comparative scarcity of raw
material is another factor which adds to
the strength of sellers.

now In jail, and that they we're on the
point Of making a confession, and the
county auditor, who was with them, had
sent out to ask that the crowd make no
demonstration which might defeat that
end.
An hour passed more or less quietly.
Then began a clamor for "Deacons."
This gentleman, who was the auditor,
mounted the steps and appealed to the
crowd to respect the law, but. d~ivining that
there had been no confession, they yelled
him down. He made his way to the hotel
and dropped into a chair. spent and trem-
bling. When he saw the lighted parlor
and the sherif's wife sitting calmly at
her sewing, he sprang up with Q cour-
age.

never doing that for fun! She's heard
from Steve. and is trying to hold them
back. Boys, we've got to get out and help
her! A number Of law-loving citizens who
had been dejectedly watching events. fol-
lowed him out to minkle in the crowd.
Little Stephen awoke and cried. The
mother ran to him eagerly, finding fresh
courage in the companionship of her baby
son. She carried him into the parlor and
stood at the window with him in her
arms. He was q fine boy, and locked
bravely out upon the strange scene. An
admirer under the window whistled at
him. he understood the friendly overture
and began to kick and crow. holding out
his chubby arms and laughing merrily.
The pretty domestic picture hung above
the muttering crowd appealed to many.
They won't do much longs hat woman

But there were desperate men in that
crowd. and blood thirsty enough to turn
1t into a mob. This EsofteDing influence
might delay the lynching, bat could not
prevent it.
Mrs. Ballantyne saw small parties of
men slip furtively through the yard and
knew they were sent to guard the back
exits. She heard the blows of axes and
guessed that the big telephone pole at the
corner was being cut down to be used as
a ram. She saw 1t waver. and turned
trembling from the window. The clock
struck the half hour. "Half-past eleventh
she sighed. "oh, boy, what can We do
next?"
Stephen signihed his eagerness to play
"peek-a-boo.'' and they began the game.

Hnd Marrow Escapes. '"8

Duluth, Mimi, Feb. 1.-Two lives
were lost and ten men had narrow
escapes as a result of a fire in No. 8
shaft at the Spruce mine, owned by
the United States Steel corporation
at Eyeleth, yesterday. The names
Of the dead are; John O'Brien, I'M
married; William Matthews, mar
ried. The fire was caused by the ex.
plosion Of lantern which was left
near the edge Of the shaft on the sec
oRd level, $50 feet below the surface.
Ninety feet deeper in the mine IL
men were at work in drift which
was being put through from No. 8 to
No. shaft. There was no escape
for them except by way of No. g.. in
which the fire was raging. The eff
forts Of the tiremen were directed
with good effect on the blazing wood
work which lined the shaft, the hose
being run down No. shaft and car
ried through to the point where the
fire originated. There was ventila-
ton for the fremen, btt none for the
10 men In the drift 20 feet below
them, The aif soon became freight
ed with steam, gas and smoke and the
candles carried by the imprisoned
men were Of little avail. They roped
to the point where the drift joins
the No. shaft and peered upward,
and when they could no longer see
fire above they began climbing the
ladder.
Ten Of the men reached the sec
ond level. Two, O'Brien and Mat.
thews, were overcome when about 40
feet from the point where safety was
assured, and fell back to their death. |
When the news spread over Eve
leth that the shaft at the Spruce
was on Are there was much excite |
ment. Men and women rushed to
the mine and those who had relatives
