CAGE DROPS 27S FEET.
Eleven Killed and Seven Fatally
Hurt In Michigan Mine.

Negaunee, Mich. Especially. - BY
the plunging of cage 275 feet down
the shaft of the Jones & Laughlin
Steel Company mine II men were
killed and fatally injured.
The cage was making its first de-
scent for the day when the brake on
the hosting drum gave way. Two
other men sprang to the assistance
of the one at the brake wheel, but
their combined efforts did not avail
and the wire cable continued to un-
reel from the drum like a weighted
thread from a fabricated bobbin.
The cage shot down 200 feet before
a kink in the rushing cable caused
it to part. Then the cage dropped
to the bottom of the shaft, the safe
ty catches failing to operate. The
surging of the cable in its mad flight
tore out part of the side of the en-
gine house and ripped out several
sheaves about the shafthouse.
Workmen at the bottom of the
mine Immediately set about remov-
ing the dead. The fall had hurled
the bodies together and they lay in
one mass, from which seven still
breathing were taken.
Thousands of persons soon congre-
gated about the mine shaft. In the
crowd were wives and children of the
200 men employed in the mine.
Each thought that her loved one was
in the cage. 1t was fully two hours
before the cable was adjusted so that
the cage could be raised to the sur
face and the dead turned over to
relatives. When all the miners came
from under ground and many anx-
ious wives and mothers were relieved
of suspense their Joy added to the
sorrow of those bereaved and made
the scene awful. Priests and preach
ers moved among the people consol-
ing them and begging them to be
calm, but it was hours before SEM
blance of quiet came to the excited
miners and their families.

COMMERCIAL COLUMN


r. g. Dun q Co.'s Weekly Review
Of Trade says:
Retail trade increases at the lead
ing cities as the vacation season
closes, and the opening of the fall
lines is attended with most satisfac-
tory results. AS the staple crops are
secure ard marketed there Is a
prompt improvement in mercantile
collections throughout the agricultur-
al district and the decline In prices
was especially helpful in Stimulating
export trade. There is still much
conservatism In placing contracts for
future business, and decreased specu-
lation in another factor that aids
In restoring normal financial con-
ditions.
Primary markets for dry goods
are seasonably quiet without any
evidence of weakness. Manufactur-
ers OF cotton goods are in a strong
position, having large contracts on
hand, and prices are we'll maintain
cd, despite the fact that some buy
ers were forced to take small profits
quickly on account of the financial
stringency.
New contracts for mems wear
woolens appear slowly. Reports
from worsted mills indicate fairly full
activity. but there is considerable idle
machinery at wooden mills.

PUT MANY MILLIONS
into QUIET RAILROAD
Oil Magnats v. \. Rogers Costly
Enterprise.
OVER FORTY MILLIONS INVESTED.
New Facts Concerning the Tidewater
Railway Which Was Built Under
Mysterious Circumstances From Sew
slls Point, Near Norfolk, Into the
Coal Fields of West Virginia.

New York Especially The Even
ing Post says:
Confirmation was obtained In
Wall Street of reports to the effect
that H. H. Rogers was heavily inter
ested in the Tidewater Railway pro-
ject
According to the stories previous
ly circulated, upwards OF 40 per
cent. of Mr.. Rogers fortune has been
involved in the Tidewater invest
ment. II was reported that the per-
sonal obligation incurred amounted
to 100000. 1t can be stated
positively that the sum is much larg-
er than the amount named; also, that
the situation has been entirely clear
ed up.
I'm order to meet the demands
made upon him in connection with
the construction of the railroad Mr..
Rogers was forced to dispose of a
large amount OF investment stock at
sacrifice. All during the recent de-
cline in prices the vice president of
the Standard Oil Company sold gilt
edged stocks, such as Standard OIL,
SOuSolludttQ OdSp OhiOh aSiHN ahN
st. Paul.
Some FIVE or six years ago,
against the advice of his friends, Mr..
Rogers started to build in West Vir-
ginia a low-grade road which would
parallel the Norfolk and Western.
His object was to carry coal and lum-
Der to tidewater. The line was to
be 443 miles long. Only 125 miles
have been completed.
"Only q few months ago, in order
to raise $10,000,000 for the Tide
water road, II. II. Rogers issued his
personal notes, secured by $20,000,-
900 first mortgage bonds, $4,000
900 stock and $10,000,000 dividend
or interest paying collateral. These
per cent. notes were indorsed by
H. H. Rogers personally.
Railway officials who have watch
ed the construction of the road with
intense interest from the beginning
say that the project, even at this
stage, Is more or less problematic
1t is confidently believed, however,
that with the sacrifices already made
in disposing of high-priced securities
Rogers is in a position to gain his
end and see the mileage completed.
1T was learned some months age
that the Standard Oil man and his
associates had bought up all the
available lumber and coal lands in
West Virginia. These purchases
amounted to thousands of acres and
will in some future time supply the
tidewater road with traffic.
wv. N. Page is president of the
Tidewater Railway. When complet-
ed the road will extend from Deep
water, w. Va, on the Kanawha Riv-
er, to Sewalls Point, near Norfolk
The authorized stock is $35, 900, 900
The first mortgage per cent. bonds
none of which have been placed on
the market, are issuable as follows:
S35, 100000 for the construction OF
the line from Deepwater to Sewalls
Point, 442 miles, single track. Fol
each additional mile of single track
on the main line SIS 900 bonds may
be issued; $4,000 mile for branch
lines and $4,000 for main line Sec
ond track"
