With a detective. Constable Decker,
after the men were found In posses

It's the fit ol otir Sfcifs that con-
tributes to their popularity. '
When a man gets good
cloth and honest tailoring in
his clothes he is pleased, of
course, though he is entitled
to that much anyhow.
But when, in addition, he
gets a fit that he didn't be

made clothes why then he's
going to talk about it.

No. 5 colliery of the Pennsylvania Coal
company at Inkermnn, exploded with
a loud report nbout 11.30 this morning,

fireman's room. The rear half of the

ed In a field about 100 feet away. The
four remaining boilers were loosened
from their fastenings. William Evans,
with a gang of masons were building
a brick engine house within fifty feet
of tho boilers and that they were not
struck by the flying bricks and tim
ber which filled the air, scattering In
nil directing, Is Indeed surprising.
sThero wns no one In the boiler house
nt the time. The fireman, fortunately,
had Just stepped into the engine room
nearby on an errand nnd waa Just
about to return when the explosion
occurred. Work at the colliery wns Im

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Continues Wonderfully
Large, Prosperous and Healthy.
Now York, Dec. 1. R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow
will say:
Business continues wonderfully
large, prosperous nnd healthy. In
many lines the volume of bus-lness was
larger In October, notwithstanding the
extraordinary flood buying ever since
the beginning of last March. Wheat
remains weak, although western re
ceipts were barely half last year's for
the week and for four weeks only
21,74.1,505 bushels against 83,H02,7,'
bushels last year. The great decrease
In Atlantic exports for the week is
only 2,410,051 bushels against 6,123,0il's.
bushels, and for four weeks 10,173,735
bushels against 17,398,210 bushels last
year, explains much of the weakness.
Corn declined one cent, with slightly
smaller exports than last year for the
week, but for four weeks 15,205.745
bushels against 11,497,09? bushels last
year. The cotton movement has not
changed much, but prices gained a
sixteenth for the week. Cotton goods
have remained strong. The Iron manu
facturer has to meet a greatly In
creased cost of material next year.
Prices for W00 have been fixed nt $5.50
for bessemer ore at lower lake ports,
against $2.50 Inst year, and $1.23 for
non-besFemer. against 12 last year,
while coke, at $2.75 for furnace, with
high rail rates in every direction, in
dicates that Iron will not be made next
year as cheaply as has been. Prices
of pig Iron still advance, according to
the Iron Age; bessemer to $5 at Pitts
burg, with very small transactions, and
grey forge to $21.23, quotations at other
points being unchanged. Prices ot
some finished products are slightly In
creased, as works run out of orders
and compete with each other for mora
business, and refined bar is $2 per ton
lower at Philadelphia; common $2 per
ton lower at Pittsburg, and plates $3
lower at Philadelphia, with further
concessions in sheets because many
of the tin plato works are now closed.
Some of the iron works about T'ltts
burgi ore running half time.
The shipments of boots and shoes In
four weeks have been 372.307asep, 14
per cent, larger than In 1S07. But new
business, although considerable in
quantity, shows a marked decrease be
cause of the prolonged Hue in prices.
Failures for the week havo been 144
in the United States, against 281 last
year, and twenty-one In Canada,
against nineteen last year.

i friendly ijplrlt of rivalry between the
two military branches with regard to the
game,
THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Dec. 1. The stock market
today was colorless. Professional op
erations were responsible for whatever
movement took place, and change on
this account were not well maintained
owing to the desire of the professionals
to close up their contracts nt once. Thp
organized buying of the trunk lines
nnd some other stocks, which was In
evidence In tho earlier part of the week
seemed to be entirely discontinued, and
those stocks reacted on profit taking.
New York Central sold with the rights
to subscribe to the new stock Issue de
ducted from the price. There were
sales of these rights nt from 4 to
EH- Union Pacific and Northern Pacific
showed some strength and there was
an attempt to advance some of the Iron
and steel stocks which proved only
partly successful. Some of the promi
nent specialties suffered from bear
pressure, notably Sugar, Brooklyn
Transit and tho other New York Trac
tion stocks nnd the Tobacco stocks.
Total sales, 502,400 shares, The bond
market was quiet and prices were
shaded In many of the Issues. Total
sales, par value, $1,310,000. United
States bonds were unchanged In the
bid quotations.
