In addition to the above, train No. 2, which came north this evening, came 1 to Cincinnati five orsix badly injured passengers. Theee passengers wre in tbe boudoir car, and the railroad ofticia'a refused to allow the Associated Pres? reporter access to them, or to give their names cr injuries. Dr. Etddish, of Frankfort, in chirga Ol the Greenwood coal mines, left Greenwood with the wounded and the body of Mi Green for Cincinnati. A later train followed, carrying all the dead except Miss Green, who was left at Somerset. Very shortly after the collision a wrecking train left Sumeiset in charge of Superintendent "W. W. "7ells, carrying Dr. L. J. Ovens and all the Somerset physioians, for the scane of the disaster. Two cars, the mail and baggage, cf No. 1, took fire and burned up. Atthe time of the crash, Withrow and Jackson were talking in the baggage car, when tbe car split open from end to end, the mail car and smoker shooting over them, the other cars cutting I0039 and dropping back a grade. It is reported that an unknown passenger was crushed and burned in a water closet of the train of No. 2. Mr. Avey, of Covington, threw hia wife through the window and jamped out after her, both rolling down the embankment. The collision was caused by Conductor Sbruram misreading ordsrs delivered to him at WinCeld. He mistook Summit for Somerset, and hurried hia train down the grade at fifty miles an hour to make the point, probably running at that rate when the collision occurred. After the collision. Conductor Eennett ran up to Shrnmm and said: "I'm not to blame for this; read your orders and see." Shrumm took oat hi? orders and looking carefully, thcar up his hands, exclaimsng, "Oh, my GoJ, I have made a mistake!" A T ASPERGER'S STATEMENT. Eharkey Withers, formerly of this city, tut cow of Edwards, Miss., was on the train going South, and made thi3 statement: "We left Somerset half an hoar late, and were running about thirty miles an hour up grade. I was in the coach next in front of the sleeper, close to the front door, when a shrill whistling alarmed me. I ran out on the platform and waa pitched down 'an embankment oi fifty feet. I jumped up and went to work. We helped to extricate the vieJtime. I helped take out three alive, two dead; one ot them, Pat Jlurpby, I helped to dig out of tbe mud into which he was jammed nearly to his arm-nits. The next man we got out was an express meeeenger who was crushed uader the trucks; next a baggageman who waa under the tender of No. 1. We could hear hia groans, and dug him out. Ha died in an hour. Then we got the injured man out of the mail-car of No. 1. Withrow died in a few minutes after he waa pat on the relief train." "Postal agent James Severus, whowaaai pointed one month ago, lay atoae end of his car, blood streaming front his month. We reached Somerset at 10 p. m. Wi throw's dead body waa laid In tbe baggage room and the injured on oar train were placed in the hotel." The baggage car and smoker of No. 2 rolled down the embankment. The ladies' car of this train was thrown on the engine, the inmates being thereby scalded. Joe Hepp stated that a young couple that bad got on at Chatanooga were badly cut and scalded. The regular passing point of Nos. 1 and 2.is Flat Rock, just south of the wreck. The two engines collided with mcb force that they were impacted to gether, the boL'era shattering and discharging all their contents in m tew minutes. An attempt to pull the engines apart iailed, and they were rolled over the embankment to clear the trackA not her Account of the Wreck. LonsviLiE, Ky., January 1. A special from Somerset, Ky., to-night gives the fol lowing additional particulars of the smash up on the Cincinnati Southern yesterday. Later news from the wreck at Greenwood yesterkay confirms the report sent last sight A correspondent visited the scene of tbe wreck this morning. There ia no doubt that several persons were burned to death. A number of charred bodies were found where the smoking car 01 ro. 1 was burned. Innumerable telegrams are passing over the wire inquiring for relatives or friends on the fatal train, and a number of passengers inquired after cannot be found. Early this morning the charred remains of what ia supposed to be Fireman Condee were dragged out of the debris. The only thing left unburned was his boots. A corrected liat of the killed and wounded ia aa follows: Fireman Condee, of Ohio, waa found la the debria of No. 1 smoker, burned to death. Atelegram waa received this morning inquiring for J H. Avery, of CincinnatL He can net be found, and la supposed to he the man who stertd the toilet and was burned to death.

Lawrence Callan, of Cincinnati, baggagemaster, was found down the embankment. He had evidently fallen on his head.as his neck waa broken. Lee Withrow, of Ludlow, baggagemaster, was found under the mail car, his head mashed in, and throat cut. W. B. Powell, express messenger, of Knoxville, Tenn.,twas thrown down an embankment sixty feet, covered with timbers, and instantly killed. James Severance, postal clerk, of Sanford, Ky.. was found in the mail car with the stove on top of him Heia now dying. Jessie Green, a yonng lady of Chattanooga, was badly scalded, and died about 9 o'clock last night. A re pert from Greenwood states that Pat Taylor, engineer on No. 1, residing at this place, was dead. Pat Murphy, h reman, arm broken and badly bruised otherwise. W. II. Jackson, express messenger, of Cincinnati, badly bruised but not seriously injured. W, E. Roberts. mail agent, living at Riceville, Tenn., ankle and elbow fractured. Ue was sent home this morning. A man and wife were fatally injured also, but their names could cot be procured. A young lady whose came could not be learned, is at Greenwood seriously injured. The injured are at McCabe's Hotel, this place, and are receiving ample attention from Drs. Owen, Parker, Cook and Peyton, physicians. Conductors Shrnmm and Bennett fortunately escaped uninjured. The wreck was caused by Suramin's mistaking orders which read "Meet and pass No. 1 at Summit," for "Meet and pass No. 1 at Somerset. The trains were the north and south bound limited express, renning at full speed when the collision ocuncd. The express safe, together with ail the mail, baggage car, mail car and smoker were burned. A terrific rain was falling at the time and no doubt saved both trains from burnicg. No. 1 had just cleared No. 8 tunnel when the trains collided, and had No. 2 been ten seconds earlier they would have met in the tunnel acd everyone would have been killed. LINCOLN AND STANTON.

The Ex-President's Steadfastness and Kindnets. N. Y. Tribune. One of the old-timers in Virginia is General A. H. H. Stuart He is one of the few men living who has recollection of Thomas Jtfierson. In his youth General Stuart was a frequent guest at Monticello. While at Natural Bridge, a few days ago, General Stuart found a formation of rock, which he declares is a most striking profile of Jefferson's face. It has already been named "Jefferson's Profile," and will be pointed out to future visitors as one of the curiosities of that resort. General Stuart, by the way, tells of a remarkable interview which he had with President Lincoln at Washington just bfore the opening of the hostilities at Charleston. The Virginia convention was in Eieseion and bad sent a committee, of which General Stuart was a member, to confer with the President, and if possible induce him to adopt a course which would save the country from war. They had a long conference with the President, and not an altogether satisfactory one. As they were leaving, General Stuart withdrew from the other members, and asked permission of the President to speak to him alone for a few minutes. v cen they were by themselves he urged umn the President the policy of blockading South Carolina, both from the sea and the land, the suspension of the mi', the ravenue service, railroad travel, and the cutting off of all communication of every description. "If von will do this, Mr. President, and give the Union men of the South time to gather force and strength and to argue with the people ot the booth, boutn caroina will stand alone, and her return to the Union will then be a question only of hours." The President's reply waa given with pathetic emotion. "Whatever it might be possible to avert or prevent dv any other course," said Mr. Lincoln, "I have sworn to defend the flag of the Na tion acd to preserve the honor of the Nation. It has been assailed by rebellion. The flag has been fired upon, and it is my duty to defend it. There is no middle course now." Another story of President Lincoln which comes from Samuel Feasenden, of Connecticut, gives new testimony of his kindneESof heart. Mr. i essenden was in Washington as a boy with hia uncle, the late Senator William Fittt r essenden, of Maine, who was one of the giants of his day in the United States Senate. The Sena tor took tbe lad with him to the Wnite Bouse one day when uie had occasion to call on the President. A great many things were discussed between the states men which were beyond the lad a knowledge and comprehension. The one thing that he does re member, however, wes the President's appeal to the Senator to know what he would do in a caw where a boy soldier had been sentenced to be shot for disobey ing orders. Said Mr. Lincoln to the Sena tor: "It is seldom that I am placed in suchen embarrassing position as that m which yon find me this morning. Here ia a poor widow whose only son is an enlisted soldier who is ceglieent of hia duty, and a court-martial has adjudged that he is guilty of a military crime, of which the penalty is death. The judgment has been pronounced upon Lim and the poor woman is here asking for his pardon. The boy's action lost notbirg to U, bat the army officers say if the reprieve is granted it will destroy all discipline and inaki it impossible to secure obedience from the men. Now, What would you do In such a case?" Senator Fessen den replied that hia action would be eutded by his heart, and that it would be favorable to the widow. Whereupon Mr. Lincoln said, with a half smile, as If he thought it would be amuse ment to see his great v ar Secretary angry : "Well, that is just what I have done, bat I expect that Secretary Stanton will be terribly angry when he hears of it. However, I guess be will get over it after a while." A Maine officer who had been absent from his command beyond the period of his furlough was arbitrarily suspended without being permitted to make any explanation. All attempts to secure reinstatement through the ordinary channels failed. Finally he went to the President. Mr. Lincoln listened carefully to his statement, took the papers and asked him to call anotbei day. When the man came back tbe President handed him hia papers indorsed as follows: "Grant this request. The President is never too busy to listen to the complaint Of a BOldier. A. LiscoLit." There waa an episode in the history of Senator Feesenden and Secretary Stanton which gives considerable insight into the characters of both men. At the time of the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson, Senator Fessenden pursued a course which was distasteful to Senator Stanton. They met constantly during the trial, and up to the time ot its conclusion, and then without a word of warning Mr. Stanton cut Mr. Fessenden as they passed each other in the street, and from that time to the day of Senator Fessenden'a death they never spoke to each other. Senator Fessenden waa a man with the courage of his con victions, whom nothing on earth could swerve from his duty as he saw it and determined It. He was extremely sensitive over Stanton's action, but he waa as proud as he was sensitive and never spoke of It. When he was lying at death's door, and It was known that hia hours on earth were numbered, telegrams came pouring in from eminent men from all over the country. Their contents were communicated from time to time to Senator Feasenden. He waa indifferent to them all, and arter having listened to a new batch would querulously demand If there waa no word from Stanton. One of hia friends undertook, through telegraphic communication, to Induce Mr. Stanton to send some word to the afflicted family that might relieve the dying man's anxiety. The effort waa duly made but was lztfJectc&l,

POPE LEOS JÜBILEE

la lzn:m larsug Gatten to Wifcau Pcnüfic&l Kiss m St, Peter. Entert Thinks the Ctremcny the Best Prorf of the Peps'i Liberty, His EoI;ne:s Overcome by the Euitemeat of tbe O.-euioa ivl Faint?. Observances of the Day in Other Cities t and Countries Madrid' Celebration Jubilee Day in America, Pome, January 1. The Pontifical mass to-day wss a great success. Thousands of people thronged St. Peter's Square early in the morning awaiting the opening of the cathedral. Sixty thousand admission tickets had been issued, and the cathedral was packed. The Pope entered at 8:30 a. m., followed by the Cardinals in procession. His Holiness was received with loud acd long continued shouts of "loog live the Pope." The muic of the mass was deeoly impressive and many parsons in the audience were affected. The Pope blessed all present and left the cathedral at 11 a. m., the whole audience expressing its oy by clapping hands, waving hats and handkerchiefs and enthusiastic acclamations. Later in the day King Humbert expressed himself to a deputation from Farliameut as being highly eatielied with the smoothness of the ceremony, which, he said, waa the best proof of the Popb's liberty in Rome. Forty-eight cardinals and 23S archbishops acd bhhop8 were present at the mass, and it is estimated that there were 30,000 persons in the audience. The Pope prayed for a long time in his private chapel, and then received the homage of the court cardinals in the Sala Ducale. While assuming the sacerdotal vestments the Popa was overcome with emotion and fainted. Strong salts were administered and he Eocn returned to consciousness. He then ascended the gestatorial chair and was borne on the Bhoulders of the sadiari, at tended by the Cardinals in St. Feters Cathtdral. Just before he was fully vested for the altar he egain fainted, remaining unconscious a few minutes. The mass occupied twtntj -eight minutes. After procouncirgthe benediction the Pope again seated himself in tne gestatorial chair and was borre cc mpletely around the altar to capella dell sacraments, where he offered up a prayer of thanksgiving. Daring the ceremony the Tope wore the triple crown presented io him by Emperor William. Two battalions of tbe line and a lare cumber of Garninierie regulated the movements of the crowd at the Cathedral, and a thousand policemen in plainclothes were stationed intide the edifice. A few ladies fainted in the crush, but no accident occurred. In the chapel the columns and pilasters were hung with red damask. The statue of St. Peter was clothed in pontifical garments, with a tiara cn the head. The orchestra iacla Icä the famous ancient silver trumpets. The Pope wore a pastoral ring, presented by the Austrian archdukes. His tiara waa covered with a thousand pearls. The chalice UEed by hia Holiness was the gift cf the King of Portugal, and the eolden plate ued in the service was a present from Qaeen Victoria. The Pope's Jabllee in St. Paul. St. Pacl, January 1. The Cathedral was packed to the doors to-day, the occasion being the celebration of the Pope's jubilee. A solemn mass with orchestral accompaniment was celebrated by the pastor, Rsv. John Shanley. The eulogy of Leo XIII by Bishop Ireland waa an eloquent and masterly effort. He reviewed the history and depicted the power of the papacy, and warmly praised the present Pope for his profound learning, untiring energy and splendid talents. He declared that the Pope is an ardent admirer of America, in which he beholds a land where the civilization of the future is to he developed, and which presents a model to all other cations in its liberal government ana unrivaled constitution. The pope strongly sympathizes with the working classes. The' Bishop declared that the solution of the vexed Roman question is at hand and will be met in the broadest spirit by the Pope, who is not as anxiou3 for large territorial limits as he is to have a certain territory of which he may be the cole sovereign. The Bishop closed with an earnest appeal to his Protestant fellow citizens to make the history and character of the Catholic church a study, There were special services and eulogies of the Pope in all the other churches of the diocese today, by order of the Bishop. Murdered by a Drunken Son. Baltimore, January 1. Stephen Conroy and Patrick O'Donnell were drinking together for some hours last night at the home of the former, and about midnight & quarrel took place in which O'Donneli was badly beaten and thrown cut of the house. Shortly afterward he was found unconscious in tbe street and taken home, when be charged Conroy with assaulting him. The police went to arrest Conroy and found that he had killed his aged father with an ax. The room in which the murder was committed presented a horrible appearance, the walls and ceiling being literally covered with blood. O'Donnell was so badly beaten that he is almost certain to die. Conroy was drunk when ar rested. Carcot's New Year's Greeting. Pabi, January 1. President Carnot gave the usual New Year reception to the Diplomatic Corps to-day. The Papal Nuncio, on behalf of the Diplomatic body, congratulated the President, wiio, in the coarse of hia reply, said he trusted that all fears womd be dispelled, and that the nat'ons might, in complete security, devote themselves to tbe development of their moral and material Interests. A Great Horse Thief Freed. Jo Li et, January 1. The greatest horse thief in the West was discharged from the prison yesterday, after serving a sentence of cine years from Henderson county. His various names are Glenn Vanskout, alias Frank Bradabaw, alias George Van Zant, alias James Green. He has served six terms in the Joliet prison, and is the most inveterate tbief of his kind known. He is a very venerable looking white-haired man of sixty-eight years, and has had his reck stretched three times, on suspicion of horse Btealing, to force information from him, without avail. He has served thirty years in the Joliet prison, and his total tentence was seventy-two years. Mrf, Hendricks Attains Interests. Ban Francisco Examiner. Mrs. Eliza Hendricks, widow of the late "Vice-President Hndricks, who arrived in tbe city on Monday evening, left yesterday for Oroville. Mrs. Hendricks had been visiting for a week previous the family of Captain TL Q. Heiner, of the 1st Reglmsat, at Angel Island. She arrived from her home in Indianapolis about three weeks go, and has been visiting friends In Oakland and elsewhere previous to going to Angel Island. She la accompanied, as a traveling companion, by her friend, Mrs. Patterson, of Indiana. At Sacramento Mrs. Hendricks waa joined by her cousin. Secretary of State Hendricks. Her real object, In addition to attending the Citrus Fair at Or o Tille, is to Tisit the

Hendricks placer mine, faur and a half miles above Oroville, on which the VicsPresiJent spent $1CO,000 in improvements, building, among other thirgs, a flame over forty miles long. Just as ha got this completed the anti debiis law passed tha California Legislature and the mine had to be abut down. Mrs. Hendricks, however, it is stated, has no idea of letting the property lapse. There are 12.000 acres in the tract, and this has grown in recent years to be quite valuable. She now intends to make a thorough examination of it, and decide whether or not she will plant some of it in fruits. Before his death Mr. Hendricks had planned extensive improvements of his home and grounds in Indianapolis, and these, during the past year, Mrs. Hendricks

has carried out. She will remain in California till about February 1, when sie will return to Indianapolis to be present at a meeting of the Board of the Indiana State Prison Reformatory, of which institution she has been President for fourteen years. Mrs. Hendiicks is said to have admirable busine $6 judgment and good executive ability. The mines which she ownes above Oroville have yielded atone time and',an. other since 1849 between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. THE MELLEN MYSTERY. Dunohue, the Hired Assassin, Says He Was Flaying; Detective. Chicago, January 1. James Donohue, tbe noted gambier, who was employed in Boston to murder the servant daughter-in-law of the rich hotel keeper, Mellen, in Baltimore, and who was four months ago reported to have been shot dead at Winnipeg, has turned up in this city. An interview with Dunohue published to-day says he is going back to Boston to face a charge of bigamy, which, he says, has no backing except what was given it by Mellen's conceel. Donohue relates what is said to be the first complete story of the conspiracy to murder young Mrs. Mellen, whose marriage bad never been made public, and who was considered by the wealthy hotel proprietor far below his son's social station. The salient feature of Donohua's narrative is the claim that be went into the conspiracy with the fall knowledge and approval of Chief Inspector Hanscom and Inspectors Geraughty and Houghton, of the Boston police, the object beiDg solely to sift the matter to the bottom. Donohue says he at first believed that the overtures to him to commit the crime were part of a plot to ruin him, a bitter fight being in progress at that time to break up the gambling fraternity in Boston. Afterward, when it was found the cabal was what it purported to be, Donohoe, who had been in the Feieral secret service daring the war times, was induced by the police to follow the matter to the end. The exposure of the conspiracy, the flight of the elder Mellen, and the imprisonment of the latter's confederate, Mrs. Coolidge, were all, Donohue asserts, the direct result of his co operation with the police of Boston and Baltimore. She Waa for Reform Also. WashltRton Critic. "Mr dear," said Topnoody to his wife this morning, laying down his paper, "what we es a people need is revenue reform." ''I suppose so, Topnoody," she replied, briefly. "fee, my dear," he continued, pacing the floor, "and we must have it. Tners's millions in the Treasury, and the people are EUffering for tbe necessities of life." "Topnoody," she Baid, interrupting his eloquence, "I want $20." ' Twenty dollars, my dear!" he replied in amazement. "That's what I said, Topnoody." "What do you want all that money for, my dear? Only two weeks ago I " "I want to buy a winter bonnet, Topnoody." "Why, rry dear, you I" "Don't go to stammering and hesitating, Topnoody. I want twenty dollars. I've been wearing that old bonnet for two winters and I'm sick of it. What I, as a wife, need, is revenue reform, and I'm going to have it. There's millions in the treasury, and I'm suffering for the necessities of life. If I don't get the twenty dollars you don't get any further accomodations in this house until yon make the proper disbursement of the surplus. Do you hear?" Topnoody heard. fun at the Recent Dental Convention. From the Chicago flenlJ. Students and dentists were equally anxious to see the torture, and they watched the threatening preparat'ons of tbq man with whiskers with great interest. Tbe latter took down a little instrument with a Eharp point which he said he would use to inject a small quantity of cacaine around the root cf the tooth (of the patient on whom he was to operate for exhibition). 'By that means." he declared, "I will save tbis young man from pain." He injected the drug, then stepped out of tbe room to get a pair of forceps. The door had scarcely closed behind him when a student stepped to the victim's side, took a pair of forceps out of a little locker under the chair and announced his intention of pulling the tooth. Before the victim could remonstrate the bleeding molar was wared triumphantly above the student's head. "ow put it back, EJ," said half a dozen spectators in one breath. The tooth was shoved back into the cavity just as the dentist returned with his forceps. He, unsuspicious of a trick, continued his preparations. Finally he got the claws of the forceps fastened around the tooth, and he braced himself for a Btrong pull. When it came out without the least resistance, the dentist nearly fainted while the students burst into a hearty peal of laughter at the success of their ruse. Tbe Bender' Rivals Lynched. Wichita, Kas, December 30. Charles Green, a cattle dealer, from "No Man's Land." has arrived here and gives some details of the capture and lynching of the Kelly family, whose horrible crimes were published widely a few days ago, as equally atrocions aa anything committed by tbe Bender family. The Kelly family left their ranch, near Oak City, going south. A posse of citizens started in pursuit and found them fifty miles south, in Texas. The old man escaped, but the son. Bill, waa hanged, and the mother and daughter were shot while the poBse were endeavoring to capture them. Oermany and the Wr Agitation. Beklin, December 30. The National Zeitung, in an article on the political situation says: "Germany neither expects cor desires war. Prince Bismarck has thrown into the scale the decisive word in favor of peace. It is hardly probable that Russia will be in a position to force a war upon Germany and her allies, The chances are, therefore, that peace will prevail, although this peace cannot be taken s synonymous with tbe restoration of European tranquility, a fact for which Russia must answer to the world.' ' A Sensation Exploded. St. Pacl, January 1. A Pierre, Dak., correspondent, after Investigating the reported finding of fourteen skeletons in a half-breed's cellar, declares it to have originated from the discovery by trappers of the remains of an Indian In a beaver holeonPad River. Tbe Indian in question was demented, and disappeared some five months ago. Kicked to Death. New Yobk, January 1. Four young ruffians, Pat Larkin, Mike Larkln, Thomas McKewonand Dan Fitzgerald, beat and kicked John Henshaw to death last night, In a Brooklyn saloon. There was no provocation whatever. All the roughs were arrested before, morning.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

1 Reairktb'.a Sowing for the Baaineas of the Country the Patt Tear. Great Increase in Railroads Condition of Iron Business The Failures, and How They Compare With 188. Niw York, December 30. R. G. Dun !fc Co., in their weekly review of trade say; A year of enormous business closed with a little more than the seasonable dullness. The transaction much beyond the average in September and October, prepared for some slackening of trade in November and December, which has been increased by tar ill uncertainties, by several strikes of importance, and by a speculative advance in prices. Unusual pressure for money during the fall, on the other hand, caused adjustments which prevent severe pressure as the year closes, and except at a few Western points the money markets are comparatively easy, with collections almost everywhere fair, and at most pointa reasonably good. Holiday trade has generally been large, and the recent change in weather brings greater activity in some branches. But the pending strikes and controversies about wages and uncertainty as to the future in some of the largest industries operate unfavorably. Ease of money and belief that the Reading strike would not last have helped stocks to improve until to-day, when the day opened with some reaction. Hopes of activity and advance after New Year's sustain prices, but the great movement of foreign capital hitherward for investment has ceased, at least for the time. In November, trade statistics indicate that the outgoing slightly exceeded the incoming goods and capital. December exports, at New York 1.2 per cent, below last years, against imports 1.7 per cent, below, indicate that at least $15,000,000 in goods and cash has probably gone abroad, and foreign sales have exceeded purchases of securities. If continued, this movement will aifect the placing of securities for new roads, ana thus indaence great industries. The dying year has seen 12.721 miles of railway finished, making the mileage for the United States 150,710, but changes of freight rates at the West End steadly downward, lessening th? prospect for building next year. The Pennsylvania ref)orts a decrease of $170,000 in net earnings or November, and the Erie a decrease of $24,233. The iron indusiry, after the largest year's output on record, 13 rapidly cutting 'down production, prices, and, at many points, wages. Since March the average of all grades at Philadelphia declined $1.42, and of rails 55. Sales of 27,000 tons Alabama and Tennessee iron are reported, but no sales of rails, for which next year's orders cover only 200,000 tone. The Western Naii Association lower card rates from $2.25 to 12. The cotton industry records for the year larger productions, sales, acd profits than for lSfj, and the year closes with an excellent demand, stocks well cleaned up and many makes sold well ahead. But the woolen manufacture is described as having about the most unsatisfactory year it has ever experienced, with business smaller and profits smaller than last year's. Enormous importations have left a large stock of dress poods on hand; overcoatings are moving fairly, but fine goods at 5 to 10 per cent decline. Coal production has been the largest on record, but the market cloeses with some excitement, the Lehigh strike continuing, while dispatches affirm that Reading miners will strike January 1. Tie grocery trade has been very large for the year and closes with great activity, notwithstanding the speculation in coßee and the rise in suerar following reports of a decrease of 362,000 tons. In beef product, provisions hold the recent advance, beef is agein a shade dearer, and there has been a riee of Cc. in oil. Cotton, in spite of small receipts, is a shade lower, but breadstuffs have risen, wheat and corn about one cent each. The Treasury has added $714,000 to its deposits with banks, and $1,600,000 to the circulation during the week.

It is a fact that quite a number of people are cot satisfied with Mr. Cleveland's ad ministration. They are the monopolists, such as cattle kings, who had the public land taken from therm by the Government. They had arbitrarily taken possession of such land and would allow no one to env croach upon it.

The Iloyal is the ;j only baking powder on the market that is free from lime, I alum and phosphates, and absolutely.pure. The absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder makes it pre-eminently the most useful and wholesome leavening agent known. Containing no lime, alum, phosphate or other impurity it leaves no alkaline or other residuum in the foodand its uso always insures pure, light and sweet bread, biscuit and cake, that are perfectly digestible and wholesome whether hot or cold, "fresh or stale. Its leavening power has been determined the highest whenever tested by official authority, and all chemists and writers on food hygiene commend it for its sterling qualities.
