Railroad earn Injrs for September show a decline of half icr cent. comiKired with last year, whlcn Is not Ix'tter than the August report, though tho re turns for the necond and third weeks were bet ter than for the tlrst welt. On western Unci and trunk lines the decrease Is somewhat smaller, hut southern and Pacific roads do not materially Improve. and east bound shlimuMts from Chleajro .show dorn-aseor II per cent, for last week. Wheat receipts decreased ncaln nnd fell far behind last year's, tut .stocks In steht aro too lC4'y and the prico for December fell nearly I cent Cora continues to come forward freely nnd crop r-,orts are. not more favorable, hut the price fell 1 cents. Changes lu iork products were obviously due rather to manipulation than to any rhnmre In the outlook. Cotton declined atwit 3-IÖ with no irrvat chanire In tho movement or In crop prospects and with lncreaslinr work by tho mills In this country. When stocks are uuusually large their very welirht overbalances all other considerations. The cotton market Is calnint; more than any other, und there is a stronsrer market for print cloths and prints while sotno reduction has helped to stimulate trade in other cooils The enormous decrease in production for the pas: two months begins to ; felt. and sales are larger, thonuh math below the usual ijuan tity. Trade in woolen and dress Roods Is bet ter, und there is a little moro demand for men's woolens, though not enouah to keep employed the tn T-ase-l number of mills now runtime. Clothiers are cutting up more coods. It Is f aid. but the chance Is not creater than prepa rations of samples for another j-enson mlht cauM-. and there are noticed attempts to clear of! old stocks by openlmr retail stores aud sell luir nt manufacturers" prices. Sal.s of wool lust week were LftXMWiHMiniU, rialnst CCts.ftH last year; and for four weeks 1 1, in "T pounds, apainst 31,usV),r0 last year; but it Is believed that many purchases are for Investment rather than manufacture. lino seventy-elirht manufacturing concern ore reported ns start I ml- wholly or In part. ncainst twenty elosinir or reducing force, mow than a third of the Increase has ticen In cotton mills, nnd another third in machine shops, nail mills, manufacturers of stoves und hardware, tools and cars, while in the Iron manufacture proper only seven concerns have started, ncalnst three that have stopped, and tho out look does not seem brighter. Chicni-'o is nddlnir to her marvelous, build ings, nnd in structural and some other formt the demand at the west is clearly Increased. Ilut the rlosinir of the largest Iron mine In this country, the Xorris, which ordinarily produce a million toipt yenrly. Indicates tho limited character of the business. At lea.st the demand for products Is painfully Inadequate even for the scanty force now at work, and the lowest prices on record attract little tnistne. n in said that one sale of steel rail has been effected by a sharp reduction in price. The eon test between the Amalgamated association and works In the l'lttshurh region has I eea set tied, tut too late for most of tWrm'ti. 1 he class workers have not agreed as to wages, and stocks are growing low. In Loots and shoes tho marked activity seen In New York Is not found in the east: the business Is slow and few establishments are resuming, and shipments from I Josten are Mill 3 per cent, smaller than Inst year, but the rubber works aro all fully employed, and the demand for their product is large. Clearinghouse exchanges mdicnte a little pain, tho volume of business being 19.1 below thc-c of the same week laut year. In foreign trade export again exceed last year's and for the month n out SI. Ö per cent., while Imports show n ilecrea for the month of about 6 per cent... vet foreign exchange has risen so far that exjiortsof gold to Oermany might be made, with little loss, and It Is telieved that calls for repayment of gold obtained on loins from Hiirope In July and August affect the rate more than current business. Though n return of part of the gold has 1-een expected ond the banks have now on hand more than they need, the treasury stock is so low that a renewed outflow would he regarded with some nppre Illusion. The return of money from tho in terlor continues and largely reflects lew activity than usual at this season ta domestic trade and industry. JESSE POMEROY DUcmerfil I'rrpHrliiic for Anotlirr ti-mpt to Kuriipr from Trliion At. ItosTox, Sept, !!0. Some days ago It was discovered by an officer of the state prison that Jesse Fonieroy, the boy-murderer of twenty years ago, who is serving a life sentence in solitary confinement, had been digging out the mortar in which the stones of his cell were laid, and a search of his quarters revealed, hidden away In crevices ltetween the stones, an iron bar weighing two pounds or more, a rasp, a piece of steel wire and a small piece of tempered steel. How he obtained the articles is a mystery.

WitH xi terrille rush I he witters, of the Mlchigamee river broke through Its bed weakened by mining, int.i the Mansfield mine, between D and HI o'clock last night, drowning twenty-lght men who were at work directly tinder tlie cave-in. There were forty-six men in. the mine when the accident occurred, but eighteen of whom esesaped. None of the bodies have been recovered, ami it is believed It will be necessary to divert the channel of the river before they can be secured. The news was slow in reaching tho outside world. Tlie nearest telegraph oiHce is at Crystal Falls, six miles away, and though it railroad track runs into tlie Mansfield mine camp, it was only used to haul out ore and to bring Li supplies. A courier carried the news to Crystal Falls late last night, but not until this morning was it sent abroad. It is believed to have been the worst disaster that ever eiceurred in the Lake Superior Iron region. When the night shift went on duty it was noticed that more water was coming into the mine than usual, but no alarm was felt by those at tlie pumps, ns they managed to keep the "drifts' free. The miners pursued their work as on every night when they starte! in to pass the twelve hours under ground earning bread for their families. Suddenly, a few minutes after 0 o'clock, there was a loud report and an overpowering rush of water, and the men felt themselves overwhelmed by an avalanche of ore and water. So fast came the Hood that it is doubtful whether the men on the upper levels had time to drop their tools and run for their lives to the old shaft. Had any of them reached the perpendicular opening, however, it would have availed them nothing, for this shaft, known as ''Old No. 1," collapsed as soon as the water reached It and undermined hi. base. This occurred at precisely t:30, and it was then known to those in charge of the mine that the men in the tipper level had been trapped and drowned like rats by an accident wliie-h had long been expected. Had there been time tlie men mig-lr. have descended by some means to the lower levels and crossed over to No. 2, but the in-rushing flood came too fast, and it is thought 'hat most of them met death within lite minutes after the break occurred. The men at work in the nver levels were warned in time to esc pe. A few uiinutes after 'J o'elo-jk the,- heard an ominous roar, and at onpe suspecting the cause, dropped their jr.eks and tied for their lives. The waer, pursuing as it did the devious cou.-.,e necessary in miming from one lev; "to another, was already ankle deep in the lower levels when the men reacued the shaft, and were drawn up froii what seemed ccrtuiu dwirk. . Tho news of the di&aster sped on swift wings throughout the little ham let, and a wild cry of alarm was voiced by the inhabitants as they rushed from. tlielr homes and gathered about tho shaft just as the last one of eighteen men was brought to tke surface alive When the cause of th accident was explained to the anxious inquirers a cry of horror went up us they, realized that the long expected and muchdreaded accident had taken place at last, and brought with it the results so long feared by the wives and moth ers. There was a call for volunteers, which was at once answered, to de scend the only available shaft and succor, if possible, any man who might possibly In; found alive. Ilut the cour age and strong intent of tho hardy miners was of no avail, as the waters had already reached the lower levels. aud the angry roar which greeted the wonld-lH! rescuers as they peered over into the dark channel at once pre cluded all hone of rescue, and the twenty-eight men were given up. All night the water poured into its new-found lied, and not until ! o'clock this morning did it resume its natural course after having uffectuallv tilled every cavity of the great mine. The death of these twentv-eight men marks the end of the Manslield mine, for unless the river can lie forced to seek another channel, the bodies can not Ik: secured, nor can this rich de posit of iron ore be worked again. The Mansfield mine is situated on the banks of the Michlgamee river, n bout six miles east of Crystal Falls, the count seat of Iron county, and aas been worked between three and four years and has shipped about 50.000 tons of lessemcr ore. The depression in the iron trade has closed practically all the mines in the Crystal Falls district, and the Mansfield" was almost the only one from which any ore was being raised, the fine quality of its product enabling It to keep on working. The ore lenses dipped rapidly beneath tho stream, aud for more than two years tho chief workings have been directly under the bod of the river. There has lieen much trouble with water, a Ad predictions have not been wanting that the river would some day break through the roof of the mine. TIIK VI CTIM8.
