Shortly after 11 o'clock the engineer, Thomas Lloyd, discovered that tit* en gine house was on lire, lie tried to ex tinguish the flames with a few buckets of water but was unsuccessful. The structure was very dry, and tho fire made rapid headway. Lloyd was alona In the building at flie time, and he re membered that there were forty-alx men IU the mine. Without lotting any time, he ran to the telephone and gave the alarm In the mine. The footman at tho bottom of the shaft told the mlnera so throw down their tools and get on the cage car as quick as possible. By this time the flames had sur rounded the engineer oh all aides. He patiently awaited the signal to hoist the men to the surface, t A last he got She signal and drew up the cage with lightning speed. Eighteen men were aboard. Tile car wns then returned to tire mine for the second load of human freight. On this trip Seu men were were brought up. The side of the build ing now collapsed, and tho burning tim bers fell around tile brave engineer, who still held the lever. At last tbo re but Ittlng men got on the cage, and in a few minutes all were brought to the surface safely. The engineer fainted from the exeltomont and exhaustion, but wns quickly rescued by Hie mem bers of tip.* local department, who had now readied the scene, lie was badly burned alsmt the face and bnnds, hot will recover. The tire caused damage to property amounting to $.1,000. WANT MOHR WAGES. , The Spinners' Union Will Make Another Protest. Fall niver. Dec. 111.—The sales of print cloths during the |«iet week were much below tho hnlf-wcckly amounts. The price of guouh toiiuilned firm, however, and the demand for spots seems to be much In excess of expectations at this season of the year. It Is not thought that tlie goods will accumulate during tho next two weeks. The attention of tho brokers ts tmlug directs*! to a lars— oue. lion sale advertised lo take place In Now Turk next week. Thors is much activity among the unions of this city owing to the expira tion yesterday of the sixty-day limit. This limit means that If the margin be tween the cost of eight pounds of cotton and the selling price of forty-ftve yards of MxOl print cloths exceeded SI cents the operatives would be entitled to un Increase of 10 per cent. In wages. Tho margin la but 17 cants, or thereabouts, consequently tho manufacturers have no thoughts of making a movo toward a re- adjustment nf lbs present schedule. The uuton* propose lo take action looking toward this restoration, During the coming week the weavers will make a formal demand at a meeting held In Muslo llall. In the call for a meeting issued by the Csrdera' Union on Satunlsy.

This la an Indication that the operatives Intend lo him) together Ihe best paid and the moat poorly paid operatives of the mills In Ihe trades union, and It Is Im portant from the fact that the Ides la meeting wtlH the co-operation of the officer* of the Spinner*' Union, Includ ing Secretary Howard. For some weeks Secretary Howard has been directing hie attention to applications from carder* and aplnnrre lo consider the matter, and It now seems very probable that an altlll. atlon will be effected. nr.rxT will plead ouii/ty.

This Is Shown by tho Improv ing Investment demand lo contrast with the absence of aotlve speculation.

The most important evont of the week has been the passage by ttm Mouse of tvjpre*ot»tative« of ihe 1’iiilersm i[*¥dtug lull, wSildi Is to ament Hie Indicallite ootnmecuo law so as lo remove the prohibition of tho pooling buslnrtM tvnv»ng oouvpetlug roads.

As for the railroads, tho Interstate oomtnlwflonem themselves stated In their annual report this year that one of the chief cause* for the many rail road bankruptcies now existing Is the fact that owing to the means adopted for securing business among competing roads, large amount* of trafllc have undoubtedly been handled at such low fates a* pronounced, therefore, among the merchants ns among the railroads, Inasmuch us It completely disorganises their trade. There can he no doubt that tlie Interests of the roads and the com munity ore In most ways Identical, consequently tin amelioration of exist ing difllculllea Is as desirable to the country at large us to the corporations theimt lvei. The point raised tt while ago that the pooling clause in tho Inter state :«WS allowed a union among tho railroads for extortionate freight rates Is no longer nn argument against the amendment, Inasmuch ns the present bill provides for It though the power conferred upon the Interstate commts- ttlanera to change or modify tho ngroc- metrta uud contract* between roads re garding the adjustment of rates nnd trarne, When and where It Is deemed advisable, and In. extreme cases to terminate by their dleapprov.il tho contract Itself. The fact that, the bill ha* passed the house by such an un expectedly large majority augurs well for It* passage In the senate also, us It wus In the house that most of the opposition whs feared, consequently the action In that branch prove* tlie cmsi- onoe of Sentiment In Washington favor able to Ihe adoption of the measure. The feeling In the street at present Is that It will liecome a law eventually, though tip to tho present time the effect on the market ha* not been ex tremely marked. It hits, however, given the whole lint n much stronger front, und this Is n direct reflection of re- turnlug tfftnfldenco In the future ot American mllnonds. The only drawback ■to the market Just now to fho shipment of gold abroad; but. In our opinion, this Is not a factor which need give anv un easiness, us money is very plentiful abroad and has a somewhat hardening tendency here, consequently there Is no incentive fttr foreigners to Import our gold to any great extent, ns Austria tend France and other European coun tries are net now, ns they were a wltllo ago. In the market tor all tho gold ob- tnlnahto. No toars are felt that there wilt be any further legislation nt Washington of k character detrimental to the Intereete of the country at large. Our legislators have learned that discretion to the better part of valor, and dlscreslnesa now lies In the direction of taking such action as will tend to bulM up rather than tear down our Industries, as snougb nnd too much has already been done with that tenden cy. The recent oloctlon has been a n- vere rebuke to the members of ths dom inant party In Washington, and their lesson lisa undoubtedly been so well learned that they will for the remainder of their Incumbency do all possible to ward recovering lost prestige. They are also likely to be Influenced hy the feel. Ing that It Is belter to aid In a general recuperation whllo they can rather than have alt the credit attach to their suc cessors. With little to ffer for ths fu ture, therefore (ths worst bnvlng now been seen! and ererythtng to hope for. there la no reason why a rosy view of Ihs situation should not bo taken. The process of upbuilding will naturally be alow, as the depression has I teen severe; but as far as the stock market la con cerned at I tost the former xeema to al ready Ttave been atarled. Europo la at preaent In the mldat of almost a specula, live erase, nnd alt ktnda ot meeurittes, goo,! und otherwise, are being aaapped up with avidity. It seems as though cap ital, ao long Inactive, had at last Eroken loose and was rushing out Into all chan nela Even mining properties nnd l ready market nt advancing prices, and the beat grade of Investment securities have already reached & high level. The cheapness of American properties must sooaer or later command tho attention of Europe, and U tuny not h« « great while before the speculative and Invest ment demand from abroad will be as great as the homo demand ts likely to be.

Thornton had punted from about Harvard’s forty-five yard line. Wrightlngton caught the ball on the fly and started to run toward the Harvard side of the field. He was running diag onally across tho field, and I was running straight down the field toward Harvard’s goal line. He had run about ten yarda when I tackled him, both of us being on a dead run. I made a diving tackle, jumping and tackling him about the knees. He fell on his Bide, falling to ward Harvard’s goal. It was a hard tackle, Wrightlngton striking the ground heavily. Before I made the tackle I heard Hlnkey some distance behind mo shout ing to me to tackle him (Wrightlngton.) Wrightlngton got up almost Immediately, worklnn his shoulders. I had heard the umpire’s whistle for Harvard’s off-side phiy and when I looked back saw Hlnkey for the first time during that play, fully ten yards back toward our own goal run ning toward tbe umpire, who had blown his whistle near the centre of the field.
