NEW YORK.

Weather, trade and industrial condi-
lions are little changed from last week,
and farm work, retail and jobbing bust
ness and the movement of old crops to
market have been restricted by heavy
rains, low temperatures or bad roads.
The only notable exceptions to this are
found in the Pacific coast and at a few
southwestern centers.
Reports from the leading industries are
still of great quiet. Manufacturers feel
the lack of confident buying by jobbers
and wholesalers, who, in turn, report
final distributors cautious in buying only
what they need to replenish broken stocks.
The textile trades are dull and on short
time, but cotton goods men are more con-
fdent that bottom prices have been reach
ed. The iron and steel industries show
little change. The leather trade is rather
quieter and eastern shoe shipments are

the divorce; from whom the applicat lion

the separation. 1t seems curious that the
question, rs marriage a failure?" las
come under the consideration of the cen

will prove valuable in view of the fact
that over 32S,000 divorces were filed from
1867 to 1887. From 1887 to 1897 the
aggregate was over 100000 cases, and
the startling fact was disclosed that most
of the divorces were furnished by the
rural districts and smaller cities and that
divorce case is filed every three minutes.
When the bachelor brigade have collect

DIE TO SAVE MINES,
Workmen Battle 600 Feet Under
Ground to Extinguish Flames.

Ground to Exinguish Flames.
Seven men, begrimed miners, gave their
lives Tuesday to save their employers
property from ruin. More than twelve
others bear perhaps fatal wounds as
marks of their devotion to duty. Some
of the victims are foreigners, all are
heroes. How they battled 600 feet under
ground to save the flames spreading
throughout the Mount Lookout colliery OF
the Temple Coal Company at Wyoming,
Pa, furnishes another chapter to the
grewsome history Of the mines. The ex-
plosion occurred 600 feet under ground
and 1,SO0 feet from the shaft up which
the miners make their exit. John Kos
NTH, miner, left a small ''gas feeder"
burning in the extreme end of a gangway
all night, which set fire TO the timbers
and the coal. When the fire boss started
into the mine to make his rounds he dis
covered the fire. He at once reported It.
and with three men he tried to subdue
the flames, but they met with gas while
trying to do so. Shortly after slight
explosion occurred, burning the four men,
but not seriously injuring them: They
then came out of the mine and tie in
side foreman summoned a gang of men
together and went into the mine to put
out the fire. They worked all day around
the flames in order to shut then off and
stop them from spreading. They then let
in air from another gangway to allow
the gas to escape, and while doing so a
second explosion occurred, killing seven of
the men and injuring the others. The
shock of the explosion was felt on the
surface and a rescue party was formed
and they were at once sent into the mine
to get the men out. They worked until
$3.50 o'clock before they were able to
bring them all to the surface.

OIL ON STEPS OF SCHOOL,.
Secret investigation by Detectives
of Board of Education.

Private detectives, understood to be in
the employ of the board of education, are
investigating a fire that was discovered in
the Clarke school, Ashland avenue and
West Thirteenth street, Chicago. The
lower steps of the front stairway were
covered with oil, according to the inves-
tigators, and a basket of paper near by
was blazing. The flames were discovered
by a pupil in one of three rooms in the
school devoted to teaching the deaf and
dumb, The child ran back and dragged
one of the teachers to the scene. She no
tilted the janitor, who quickly extinguish-
ed the blaze. No fire alarm was sound
ed and few of the 1000 pupils who attend
the school knew of the fire. Although
the blaze looked like an incendiary one,
neither the Maxwell street station nor

titled. The school is one of the most
crowded in the city and contains, besides
the deaf and dumb several blind students.
The investigation by the school board is
said to have been conducted with utmost
secrecy.
