By Ware & Leland.
 New York. April 30-Stocks at the open ing were very quiet few hundred share lots changed hands but there was dispo- sition to wait, and especially. as there were no commission house orders.
 The street is by no means so sure as it was that dissolution of Erie voting trust is bear argument Active trad CTS are all well pleased and say it will broaden the market for all. &
 Arbitrage houses had no orders except in very small lots to even up over the London holiday on Monday. 4
 The bank statement. failed to stimulate serious activity. There was some selling of, Missouri Pacific based upon rather pessimstic crop views taken by some Chi cago houses. Total sales, G, ,5O0.

Dry Goods.

New York, April SO.-Saturday closed one of. If not the quietest, weeks that has been experienced in this market for dry goods since the spring season opened. Adverse weather has proved too much for the retailer and has forced himY to await. more favorable conditions with the new week. However, it is hoped that bet ter conditions will prcvai, soon, thereby permitting distributors to move stock on hand. Predictions are freely made that under reasonable conditions decided im- provement will be experienced during the new month.

Caldwell ( Wards Stock Letter.

By Mlller & CO.
 New York, April 30.-Today's stock market was exceptionally dull. Heavy tone prevailed at the start apparently due to little more than inanation. Not withstanding the extreme ease in money there was disposition to view the pros poets of further gold exports was the sentimental despondency. Some discus- sion also turned upon the possible ad- verse developments in the court pro- ceedings in voting Northern Securities case next week. There is some dispo- siton on the port of traders to await the test of the investment market to be fur nished next week by the large offering of low rate New York city bonds. In only few instances were fluctuations more than fractional Realty preferred was marked up a point, however. Gas was strong. Steel preferred showed fair resistance to continued pressure. The publication of the bank statement had no speculative effect although the statement was generally favorable in view of the circumstances of heavy gold exports. The market closed dull and heavy. Govern ment bonds unchanged, other bonds firm CT, although Wabash Bs suffered a late reaction.

DEATH LIST IS IA
|HARwICK MINE cAsTAsTR.oPHE
 GROWS IN HORROR.
I'll Men Known te Have Been in Mias, One of whom is Living, and Several Rescuers Lost
 Their Lives.

Pfttsburg, Jan. 27.--Three days have elapsed since the terrible catastrophe al the raerwick Mine of the Allegheny Goa Company and tonight at midnight, sev. enty-one bodies have been recovered and brought to the surface. Only eighteen of these have been identified.
 The day has been one of horror in the little village and while the blackened bodies were brought to the top of the shaft and then on sleds taken to the school house where the undertakers were ready to receive them. there seemd tc i prevail in the community as a clutch that repressed their natural feelings of pas- sionate anxiety and sorrow, the grim re- alization that there is still much work to be done before the full extent of the catastrophe has been realized.
 The Allegheny Coal Company tonight in an official statement positively admit ted that all the men who were in the mine when the explosion occurred are dead. There are Ill names on the list, which does not include Selwyn M. Tay- Tor or of the two men who were on the tipple above the mine shaft when the ex- plosion came. Nor does the list include the name of Daniel Lysle, of Castle Shan non, one of the rescuers whose body was found this morning.
 His body was found sitting with his back to the wall of one of the rooms. He had evidently been overcome by after damp.
 The list of III names was made public to-day by c. l.. Terry, secretary of the company. MT. Terry says that it is pos sible that nine or more of those includ- ed may have escaped edath. but this is hardly probable. The only man included in the list who is known to be living is Chris Gunie, who is not yet out of dan ger. He is the man who was found at the bottom of the shaft by the rescuers head ed by Selwyn M. Taylor.
 This brings the official number of known dead up to 174, but the list may still be incomplete. as it is possible that some boys may have gone into the pit to work under their fathers whose names have not yet been ascertained.
 Tonight there are strange contrasts to be seen. At the shaft mouth huge fires have been built and groups of men are gathered there trying to keep warm. In the blacksmith shop about 100 feet from the mouth of the shaft twenty seven cof- fins, each containing its burden, are lined up in rows.
 About 300 yards up a winding road Is the school house. On the floor in two rows He twenty-one bodies just as they came from the shaft. It is here that the little corps of undertakers do their work.
 At the shaft the temporary cage is con- stantiy in motion between the top and bottom. It dare not stop for the bitter could would freeze 1t fast to the slides in few minutes time. Far in the mine interior. directed by two inspectors on duty, the work of bratticing and pushing slowly forward, careful always of the gas or other hidden dangers that may lie be- yond, are going on. As yet, not half of the mine has been explored.

cured by the police tonight tends to prove that Harry Behr, who was arrested to- day in Louisville. was in Memphis on the night that Miss Schafer was murdered in Bedford, Ind, and that he received the wounds upon his face in 8 fight in a Chinaman's house in this city.
 Behr's mother tonight presented to the police an affidavit from Lotus Vacaro, a well known BeaI street saloon keeper, m winch oath is made that Behr was in Macaro's saloon during the early evening of January 21, the night that Miss achat- CT was murdered.
 ! A Chinaman has also been found who states that Behr was at his place on Main street near Talbot on Tuesday night January 13, smoking opium and that dur ing the evening Behr became engaged in a fight with an unknown white man and was severely scratched. Behr was bleed ing profusely when he left the China mans place. according to the statement of the latter.
 Bud Cotter, night ticket agent at the Union Depot, states that Behr bought two tickets to Louisville on Wednesday night of last week. Cotter, Macaro and the Chinaman claim that they have had a long acquaintance with Behr and could not be mistaken in his identity.
