John Duffe, sr., of the East Side, was painfully burned on Wednesday by the premature explosion of a charge of giant powder. Mr. Dully had lit the charge and waited a few minutes for It to explode. Thinking that the fire had gone out he went to Investigate, and as he came within a foot or two of the charge It exploded and burned him severely about the face and hands. He will be confined to the house for some time. Archbald conclave.

There was no work at the drift of the Forest Coal company at the Kldge yesterday because of a strike among the Italian and Polish laborers em ployed there. They demanded an In crease In wages, which was not im mediately granted to them, and they not only refused to work themselves, but tried to prevent others from work ing. At this writing the difficulty has not been settled. Pcaat tlvaia Railroad to Issue Cler ical Orders. The Pennsylvania Railroad company tnnotinces that (or 1897 It will Issue ;lerical orders to regularly ordained ;lergymen In charge of churches lo cated on or near its lines east of Pitts burg and Krle. To secure these or ders clergymen should make applica tion to the nearest ticket agent as soon as possible, and it Is desired that mil applications reach the general of ca by December IS. GREAT REDUCTION IN THE FAILURES Tbe Decline of Forty Per Cm Gives Ground for Confidence. MANY NEW BUILDINGS AND BRIDGES Several Thouanod Car Loads of Iron Have Been Ordered lor New Work. Better Demand lor Anthracite Will Follow the llciivnl of .llnnufuctur i ing Industries. New York. Dec. 4. K. O. Dun & Co. will say tomorrow in their weekly re view of trade: The classified failures for November, given toduy show grat ifying; reduction compared with Octo ber, and are especially Important as showing th peculiar disturbance dur ing the presidential campaign, which swelled failures $36.wnn,0O0 in September did not prevent a quick return to the monthly aggregate scarcely greater than that of May. The decline of fail ures is about forty per cent, of the Septemlier uggregute which gives ground for the confidence so generally expressed. Ground for confidence Is nlso found in the abandonment of two of the larg est combinations by whiidi the Iron in dustry has been retarded and the pas slbllity that two others will be aban doned. Such a state of things within a month after the election suggests that these organizations, formed when de pressed business fails to support all the works in existence, are not expect ed to survive a general revival nnd ample demand for products. The Im mediate effect of breaking price;? Is to check large buying of Iron and steel products, but it will be soon seen about where jriees are to range. At present the base price for wire nails is $1.25 against $2.55 two weeks ago, with greater reduction on small sixes I leu his are sellini; nt $t.3 against tl.fci two weeks ago und there are sales of billets below the fixed price. The bar combination Is still undersold by steel bars at 1.1 cent, and nothing Is doing in rails. NEW rtUILDINOS AND HRIDGES. Uessemer pig at Pittsburg Is lower. Several thousand cars have been or dered and new buildings and bridges. The coke combination has changed Its methods. Contracts are openly made below prices recently ruling, and there Is some partition of consumers among the producing Interests. Anthracite sells below the official circular, but better demand Is expected with re vival In manufacturing. Wool manu facture Is waiting and while more con cerns are at work, the new demand im proves but little with more favorable weather. In the cotton manufacture there is little change, though goods are selling better, but with many added works production exceeds present demand. Other produce markets have been weak. Wheat rose to the close last week, hut gradually reacted and broke pressed business failed to support all sharply on Friday, closing 2 cents lower for the week. The volume of business shown by clearing house returns was for the past week nearly 1 per cent, over lust year and for the month of November 3 per cent, and 11 per cent, less than 1S92, the comparison being the best for the past live months. Failures for the week hnve been 324 In the United Stutes against 379 last year, and in Cunada 55 against 52 lust year. MUSICAL GOSSIP. Mr. David Tilspham Is an American but he hns lived so long abroad and has become so Identified with musiiv in England that many Americans may have forgotten that he is one of them, nnd that his artistic triumphs are to be Included among the gems of the New World rather than among the queen's Jewels. Mr. Ulsphnm is not only an American, but also a Pennsyl vanlan of good, old Quaker stock. He MR. DAVID BISPIIAM. Is n careful student and knows Shakes peare by heart. Should his olce ever fall him so that he could not sing, he would adopt the theatrical profession. As he has a great taste for Shakes peare's . plays, as well as old Greek dramas, (here is little doti'it that his success as an actor would also be marked. I! II II "Mr. Martlnus Sieveking Is a pupil of Handow, and his 'biceps brachil' is said to be ynrthy f his master. He shows his muscular power in impetuous for tissimo passages. Yet he also knows how to coax the sweetest tones from the pianoforte. Intellectually and technically the new pianist Is all that could be desired a genuine musician: and he received a warm welcome which he fully deserved." New York Even ing Post. II II II Mrs. Davis will sing "Tell me my heart," by Hishop and "Reloved again" at a concert to be given in the Puritan church, West Market street, Thursday evening next, Dec. 10. under the aus pices of the church choir. Of Madame Davles the leading Welsh Journals speaks as follows: Madame Owenfll Davles possesses a charming voice, trlllingly ductile, and sus CFplibleofamodulatorftcxIbillty of almost bird-like sweetness. Pontypridd Herald. One great attraction to the meeting was the report that Madame (iwentll Davles. C. A. M., hail been engaged for the occa sion. She sang "The Mother and Her Babe," in a most Impressive manner. The listeners seemed to be electrllled and they burst Into applause which lasted for some time. She also sang those splendid song". "Once Again," and "Tell Me My Heart," In a maKiillieent style. While listening to Mrs. Davles. we could not help thinking that nature and art were fully repre sented there, In addition to being gifted with high natural talent and abilities, she has undergone a superior classical train ing and culture. Aberystwyth Observer. II II II Few readers probably, aside from those who take unusual Interest In musical matters, realize the rare treat that Is to be furnished on Dec. 22 In the appearalce of the great Dutch pianist. Martlnus Sieveking and David Rlspham, the baritone, who has re cently made such marked successes In this country. Sieveking. who has cre ated an Interest in New York almost equal to the triumphs of Paderewskl. will appear but a few times outside of the metropolitan cities, and Scranton music lovers will be afforded an oppor tunity that Is enjoyed in but few In land cities In being able to hear thia great artist ' II !l -11 Mrs. Clarence Halentlne's first music ale will be given at Young Men's Chris tian Association hall on Tuesday even ing, Dec. 15. On this occasion Mrs. 11l entlnewill be assisted by Miss Amy I Fay. Manlst, of New York Mi. J. Al fred Pennington and the Philomel Ladies' quartet. ' I! I! !

Pianist Reeve Jones will play one of Mendelssohn's concertos at his next recital, which will be given In the near future. Fanny Rice has started rehearsals of her new comic opera, "By Order of the King." MARKETS AND STOCKS. Wall Ntreet Review. New York, Dee. 4. Speculation at the Stock Exchange continued quiet.
