filed a decision ordering a decree of alimony

that a husband must furuisb a house in
keeping with his circumstances and con

over which another presides, the decision
Mated, is not such a home. A building
called a house, the opinion continued, does
not fulfil all the conditions necessary in
providing a homo, and Shinn's course was
shallow mockery.

BUSINESS IS IMPROVING.
Almost All Branches of Trade Show
D-oidcd Increase.
II. G. Dun Co's Werklu Hrtirw of Trail)
snys:
In nil respects the business situation ap
pears m ire favorable than a week ago.
There has ben a general though moderate
improvement in dislribiiliou; manufactures
are more fully empl-iyed; several greut labor
controversies have en le I, and crop reports
are somc.vhat more satisfactory. A littli
more gold lias gon abroad, and imports of
merchandise are still enormous; for three
weeks at New York 4HJ per cent, lurger
than for the same weeks lust year, while in
exports from New York the increase for
three weeks is only about 4i per cent, but the
shipments lust year were phenomena1, and
it is encouraging thai they are not dimin
ished. The excets of import! over exports
continues later in the season than usual,
but money markets are so well supplied Ilia
some outgo of gold causes no disturbance or
apprehension.
Moderute exports and better crop reports
lead to lower prices. Wheat receipts at ths
IV est in four days of this week have been
5..'i.'.)..'i0;t bushels, while Atlantic exports
have been only i.-ioi.uun nusneis.
Accounts of choleru in Hussia have cans
en heavy unloading of nork. which has
fallen t per barrel, and bogs are u quarter
and lard a fraction lower, while nil has also
declined u fraction, lot ton is further de
pressed to seven und one-eighth cents by the
treat accumulation of unsold stocks and ihe
better renoits of the coming crop. But while
in other seculutive murkets sab s have been
small for the week, those of cotton reached
,mj..oki bales.
At Pittsburg raw iron is slightly weaker,
thouch some of the works have not vet fin
ished reimirs and the window clus works
will nnt all be in nitration until the end of
Sen! ember. Trade at Cleveland is irood
with better demand for money, and ut t in
ciniiiu! the hardware trade is ut present bet
ter thun a vcur abound in miner und imis-r
bags much better, with general trude fuir
ami collections good. Busiue-s ut Detroit is
in some lines lurger and in all equal to
last yeur's, with collections very fair,
Cliicaso reports trude belter than a year
ago, with favoiiu crop reports: ail increase
oi 20 per cent, in receipts of cattle, 25 in
oats, Xi in cured meats and 00 er cent, in
flour, compared with lut year, but some
decrease in other articles. Needed ruins
liuve greatly helped crois in Wisconsin, and
manufacturers at Milwaukee are all busy.
Some improvement is noted at all SoiiUi
em cities reporting, and trude at Nashville
is very fuir; increasing, with brighter pros
pects ut Memphis, ami in all lines gaining
at New Orleans, with a better demand for
money.
The business failures occurring through
nut the country during the last seven days
numbered for the United Htutea 1B5, for
Canada 15, a total of 1H0 as compared with
107 last week, and 180 the week previous to
the last, and 22ti for the corresponding

traps 143 Men. All the Exlta Blocked
TJp With Wreckage.
At Aberkenfig, near Bridgend, in the
County of G itiuorgan, Wales, 143 miner
are tntrupped in a coal pit, owing to an ex
plosion which shattered the galleries by
which they could have made exit.
When the explosion took place women,
and children rushed to the mouth of the pit
crying and waiting for the fathers, busbands
and brothers below. The scenes at the pit
mouth were most distressing. The explo
sion may have destroyed every life in the
mine. The managers have called on men from,
neighboring collieries to assist in the work
of rescue, and the most strenuous exertions,
are being made to open a way to the unfor
tunates below. In several instances wo
men have gone frantic over the suspense,,
and some of them have insisted in tuking:
part in the work.
Six bodies were recovered Saturday from,
the pit. The work of rescue, owing to the
ditlicultics with the ventilating apparatus,,
proceeds slowly.
