ARCHIBALD.
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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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

pianist. Martlnus Sieveking and David
Rlspham, the baritone, who has re
cently made such marked successes In
this country. Sieveking. who has cre

equal to the triumphs of Paderewskl.
