BSATTLt. Wah Autf. S5.-A terrific
fja'd exl6lon nocurrd lu breast 62 on the
sikth level of the Franklin mine, near this
city', yesterday afternoon A number of
mlncrx were linprWonJU and thirty-seven
were killed. The fire was soon extin
guished, and the work of taking out the
b nl(es begnn AH were recovered. Fol
lowing Is a Ht of the dead:
American William Secora (married),

Clements (married), H. H. Roberts, John
Irving, Frank Willis (married), Ed Max
well, R, W. Jones, A. J. Jones (mar
ried), W. P. Jones and Andy Greer. With
the exceptions noted all were single men.
About half'tif the miners were negroes,
having been brought from the east four
years ago to replace the strikers. The
mine is owned by the Oregon Improve
ment company, and produces the best coal
In the stlae of Wiishlngton. The damage
to the mine Is not large.
At 12:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
Ore was noticed by some of the drivers on
the sixth north level, and notice was
given to the men inside who were work
ing the different places, some in the breast
about the level and others along the
gangway.
Many of tho men In the gangways
rushed back to notify the miners further
lu, while others rushed out and reached
the main shaft. It is certain thatall the
men in the breast reached the gangway
in safety.
In all nbout seventy men were at work
in the sixth level north, nnd of that num
ber nbout forty lingered at breast C'J,
where the flru originated, and made an
attempt to put It out. The breast was
burning licrccly, and before the miners
knew it the fire bad communicated to
breasts CO nud 01. Several of those who
lingered at the burning breast, 62, took
warning, but nil who remalnetl were
overoomo aud asphyxiated.
It is evident that all the men had time
to come out, for those who worked in the
further breast reached tho shaft In safety,
while those who were nearest tho shaft,
and consequently more removed from
danger, perished. They evidently be
llevcd they were In perfect safety from
the lire, but while they lingered the
smoke oozed out from outside places fur
ther so'uth, and the bodies were all found
south of breast C2. Tbey were all found
within a space of GOO feet.
Several of the men were badly bruised,
and one colored man was tnk'n out with
a, broken neck.tlicir wounds indicating
that they had thrown themselves against
the posts and timbers of the gangway In
a wild nnu desperate endeavor to escape.
The majority of the bodies, however, bear
no marks at all, ond their features are In
nulet repose, Indicating that their deaths
hal been a speedy amymuiless one.
Still Another Mlnr Fnlollty.
CREEDE, Colo., Aug 25 Four miners
were mashed, burned and boiled to death
in a lire in the Amethyst mine yesterday
They are: lboina Everson, aged 2S (mar

Are melted the cable attached to the skip,
and the buriug mass fell upon miners who
were mcendlng the shaft, hurling them ta
the bottom.

In nil lines to continue to buy (or nearby
wnnta only fall to Kreatly Influence gen
eral trade throughout the country, the
trend of which It toward further Improve
ment. Northwestern state east of the
Missouri and the Atlantic nnd Rtilt coast
southern stntes report relatively greater
gains In volume of truffle and In the
spread of that better feeling and confi
dence In a large volume of buslnessln tho
fall, on which improvement In business
depends.
Prominent among evldenoes of exprm
slon In general trnde Is this week's bank
clearings total, f820,000,000, a gain over
last week of about per cent., and over
the like totnl one yearago, when clearings
got down to nbout low water mark, the
Increase Is 20 per cent, llut compared
with the total In the like week two years
ago this week's aggregate clearings show
a decrease of 13 per cent. It Is also worth
noting, as a sign of the business move
ment, that every city's clearings total for
the week is larger than a year ago except
one.
At larger eastern cities there Is evidence
of nn Increased confidence that the au
tumn will bring a largely augmented de
mand In nearly nil staple lines, but Balti
more is the only city In this group an
nouncing a decided Improvement.
General trade nt southern cities betrays
nochango within a week tn volume of
transactions or demand, business on the
whole being relatively betterthanlnsome
other portions of the country.
It. G Dun & Co.'s review says: Changes
during tho past week have not been dell
nito nor very importnnt. As the presl
dent's final decision regarding the new
tariff Is assumed, but not yet certainly
known, part of the hesitation which ap
pears may be attributed to the lingering
uncertainty which must soon terminate.
Other conditions, It not entirely favorable,
have at least not chnnged for the worse
during the past week
The Injury to corn is less than ninny
apprehended, but is still believed to hnvo
reduced the yield nbout 500,000.000 bushels.
The strike of coke workers nnd coal miners
has ended, and while the lockout of cot
ton operatives is important, it affects tho
earnings and livelihood of a much smaller
number,
In all the greet Industries some increase
lu demand for products has appeared
somewhat increased demand for cotton
goods hns appeared, hut perhaps not yet
as great ns many have nntlcipntod. In
the Iron nnd steel mnuufneturo the de
mand for finished products increases, but
Is at present not ns large ns tho capacity
of the works which hnvc cudenvored to
resume operations, to that their compe
tition results in prices nearly ns low as
have been reached nt any time.
About 1,000,000,000 bushels is now tho
moro common estimate of tho yield of
corn, which will leave nothing for export,
nnd, falling below a full supply for feed
ing, will materially affect prices of meats
for the coming year. Wheat has been
stronger, in spite of such favorable re
ports that a yield of 500,000,000 bushels or
moro is now commonly expected.
The liabilities of firms failing for the
second week of August amounted to only
$l,013.n09, and for the Inst three weeks to
only J7,202,0T0, of which (8,03.1,200 were of
manufacturing nnd 3,787,839 of trading
concerns. The failures this week have
been 231 In the United Stntes, against 410
for the same week last year, and 29 In
Canada, against 20 Inst year.
