New York, Aug. 25.-The tone of the

recovered Following its early recoy-

heavy selling of Amalgamated Cop.

recovered with the announcement Of
another advance in the price Of the
metal.
The list steadied in the afternoon,
although Reading continued to act err
fatically, but the better tone of the
market was followed by increased per-
iods Of dullness. which induced traders
to increase their commitments on the
short side.
Bus ness dwindlcd in the late ses-
sion and the closing hour was the dull
lest of the day. The feature of the
afternoon was the slight furry in call

Their Skill.
THIRTY POUNDS OF DYNAMITE
Explosion Knocked Nimrods Down
and Caused Impression There
Was an Earthquake.

A discharge of so pounds of dyna-
mite along the drainage ditch east of
Deer Grove, ILL.,, Sunday morning
shook the earth for many miles. The
disturbance was terrific, and many
people near were of the opinion that
i. was an earthquake. The dynamite
was stored in box along the drainage
ditch, two miles east of Deer Grove.
. Two hunters, getting within about
800 feet of what they supposed to be
an empty box, made a wager as to
which could come the closer to the cen
ter of it. The first man fired at the
box and in an instant there was mon
ster explosion, followed by a great
trembling of the earth, the force of
which was so great that both men
were knocked senseiess on their backs.
1t was fully a half hour before they
Tegained consciousness and their hear
ing.
