BLEW IN WITH AN EXPLOSION
New Well Nernidrd Arrival with
Loud E~xDlOsion, ana Revived
Several "Uusters."

Galveston, Tex, Nov. with an
explosion that could be heard a mile
away, a new oil well in the Humble
oil field blew in. The crater is 100 feet
In diameter, and the shock was felt all
over the field. That the explosion
opened up another supply of oil deeper
in the earth is evidenced by the rush
of flowing oil in a large number of
wells that had almost stopped flowing,
and the appearance OF oil in several
abandoned wells, believed to be dust
ers.
A movement has been started to bore
deeper. and 1t Is claimed that the real
oil lake Of Texas has not been entered,
and that 1t lies between 5000 and $500
feet below the surface.

SUIT CASE VICTIMS HEAD
what IL Believed TO ne the Head Of
Susan Genry FisIed Tn In
Boston HarbOr.

Boston, Nov. G.-What is confidently
believed to be the head of Susanna A..
Geary, the dress suit case victim, has
been recovered in a leather hand bag
from the bottom of the harbor. 1t was
dragged to the surface very near the
point where Lewis w. Crawford and
William Howard, who have confessed
to disposing of the dismembered body
of the girl, said they dropped 1t from
the stern of an East Boston ferryboat.
The head completes the body of the
girl. The trunk was found on Septem-
Der 81 and the limbs were picked up
October q. The leather bag in which
the head had been placed, together
with so pounds Of loose shot, did not
move, apparently. from the place where
it sank.
The bag with its contents was taken
to a Howard street undertaking estab-
lishment and will be viewed by Med
ical Examiner Francis A. Harris.
The head was in a good state Of
preservation and it is thought by the
police that 1t will be readily recog-
niZed as that of Miss Geary.
The police o 'nued the search for
Mary S. Dean, who is said to have had
charge of the home in which Miss
Geary died after being removed from
the fremont street resort.

counted for by the decrease in the

trust funds, $1,000, 3s4, 9G9; general fund,

TRADE Is HOLDING UP WELL
with Cooler weather md Liftjnr of
guarantees Trade In the North,
West and South il Booming.
- radstreet's week.

New York, No. 4~.-Bradstreet's week.
ly review says:
Colder weather has further stimu-
lated retail trade west and north, while
higher cotton prices and practically the
lifting of all guarantees have helped
southern demand and collections. Job
brig business continues in unusual vol-
ume for this season Of the year, and
holiday specialties show increased call.
Spring demands are looming up in q
number Of lines, apparently fore
shadowing a shorter than usual be-
tween-seasons period than usual. In
dustry generally shows unprecedented
activity. with iron and steel a notable
leader, followed by shoe and textile
manufacturing. The building trades,
and therefore the demands for lumber
and other materials, show unexampled
movement for this season. Although
the congestion in railway matters has
been relieved at some points, notably
at lake and rail centers, complaints as
to car shortages continue.

EXPLOSION WRECKS BANK
Three Children Killed and Thirteen
People Injured at lshpeming.
Two Men Went Hunting for q Gas
Leak With Lighted Candles and
Found lt-Thcy Escaped Unhurt.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. CA News spe.
clal from lshpemins, Mich, says three
children are dead and - people are in
jured, n fatally, as the result OF an
explosion there which completely de.
stroyed the Miners national bank.
The dead:
Steven Goodman, aged ~ years.
Alice MCGEE, aged 10 years.
Edward McGrath, aged IL years.
Fatally Injured:
James F.. Mullen.
A gas leakage in the basement of the
bank building was primarily respon.
sible for the explosion and loss Of life.
Gas was detected coming from the
building and two workmen went into
the basement with lighted candles to
investigate. The flame evidently ig-
nited the gas in the basement, for a
tremendous explosion followed. The
two workmen were blown through q
basement window and landed unin-
jured In an open bAx car standing on
a nearby track. The building was
completely wrecked. The three chill.
dren killed were passing the building
on their way home from church, and
were caught in the falling debris. The
explosion broke windows in many
stores in the business district and
scattered the papers and documents of
the bank for blocks around.

The trade in dyes in China Is a very
large one, and Is well worth watching
by the dye manufacturers Of the Uni
ted States. Apparently, the United
States has the advantage in this trade
mt present; but there is reason to be,
lieve that a number Of European in
tcrests are working to secure a great.
er share than they now have. and
American interests need to be on their
