Trade Il more Active.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: -....
Confidence is returning but conserv-
atism Is still much in evidence, es-
pecially in manufacturing. Mills and
factories are only operated to fill or
ders, no accumulation of stocks being
permitted pending more settled cond1-
tons Some idle plants have already
resumed, however, and in many cases
there are ample contracts on hand,
but work is curtailed because custom
ers request delay in delivery, as funds
are not available for settlement. These
concerns expect to have machines In
full operation when the money market
becomes normal; several are prepar
ing to resume after January l. Retail
trade Is more active, sales OF holiday
goods supplementing dealings in sta
p1e-made merchandise and some west
ern cities report that wholesale houses
are receiving orders of usual size from
country merchants for spring delivery
| Output OF finished steel products ha:
declined still further and more pig iroi
furnaces are idle, but the sentiment II
not demoralized at leading centers
and some idle plants will resume mex
week. Prices remain comparativel,
steady, although in many cases tn
figures are wholly nominal, owing t
the absence of new business.

Chicago. Nov. 3O.-Investigation fol-
lowing an elevator accident Saturday
afternoon that resulted in the instant
Heath of two men, the fatal injury of
i've persons and the painful injury Of
five others, indicates that other ar
rests may follow the arrest of Leo
Considine, operator Of the car.
Considine has told the police that he
knew absolutely nothing about run
ming an elevator, but that he was or
dered by one Of the managers Of the
irm, the Ederheimer & Stein Clothing
Manufacturing company, to take
charge of the car for an hour while
the regular man went to lunch. Con-
sIdines regular work is that Of porter.
The investigation indicates that it
was his lack OF knowledge rather than
the breaking of a cable that caused
the accident,
The engineer of the building de-
clares the elevator was inspected last
week by the city, and that he has
made personal inspection of it daily.
The car was in good condition, he
says, and the fact that the return
weights fell from the top of the build
ing onto the car shows that the cable
did not break Had 1t done so, the
weights would have beaten the car to
the basement, he contents
Considine's story is that when the
car reached the tenth floor with its
load of 20 people it began to shoot
down like lightning. He reversed the
lever, or rather did what he thought
was reversing it, but this only seemed
to increase the speed. 1t may be con
tended that in his lack Of knowledge
he did just the opposite or reversing.

BLACK DAMP HORROR
THIRTY MEN KILLED In PENN
SYLYANIA GOAL MINE.
Miner Is. Said to Have Entered Mine
With an Open Lamp Gas Found Is
So Poisonous No Human Being Can
Live In It--Expiosion Could Be
Heard for Miles Around.

Fayette City, Pa, Dec. Between
% and 80 miners, possibly more, are
entombed in the Naomi mine Of the
United Coal company, located three
miles west Of this city. and there is
practically no hope that any OF them
are alive. The Imprisonment is due to
an explosion of black damp about 8
O'clock last night, soon after the night
force went to work.
It is said a miner entering an old
working with an open lamp caused the
explosion. Had the explosion occurred
on other than Sunday night more vic
tins would have been entombed. The
mine employed from 275 to 800 regu-
larly, about one-fourth Of them driy.
ing entry at night, but on Sunday
nights only about one-half the night
force goes to work. The mine is Of the
shaft type and the concrete sides of
the entry were broken down SO as to
close the passage back a considerable
distance. About 100 feet from the en-
trance is located the first airshaft and
from this deadly gas is pouring in
great volumes. The gas found in mines
in this territory Is SO poisonous that
no human being can live In 1t for more
than few minutes and 1t is believed
none OF the entombed men are still
alive. One man, an unidentified for
eigner, managed to climb to the top Of
the first airshaft, but dropped dead
there. No sign Of life has come from
the others.
Just after the night force entered
the shaft there was a fash which
lighted UP the mine and all around it
There was roar as tons Of coal and
slate crashed down the entries crowded
with workmen. Then utter darkness
followed, the explosion putting out OF
business the lighting and air facilities
il the mine The mine Immediately
filled with gases and several persons
persisted while running to get into the
fresh air.
The shock Of the explosion shook
buildings in Fayette City and could be
heard for miles In the homes OF min
ers the explosion fell like death sig
nal and emptied every miners cottage
il the vicinity The occupants of these
men, women and children-form the
saddest picture in the scenes about the
mine this morning. The women ant
children are crying and stare witt
hope at the seemingly fruitless worl
Of rescue The Naomi mine is one Q
the oldest operated by the United Goa
company, which has its principal off1c'
in Pittsburg. It is one of the bigges
mines in the soft coal region and CAV
work to 300 men all the year round.
The property loss will be enormou
as the mine was equipped at cos
of thousands of dollars with all tn
up-to-date mine apparatus, such a
electric lights, electric coal cars an,
air ventilating system. The explosion
completely wrecked the air system an
that in itself means that no human
being can hive long in the mine as
now is. Thousands are flocking to tn
mine mouth, where every mean
known to mine operation is being e.
erted to reach the men. Aid has bee
secured from Monongahela City, Bel
virton and other neighboring towns.
