IF YOU WANT IT,
REGARDING
CARPETS.
’Has it ever occurred to you
‘ how important the Carpet be-
comes when completing the
efi‘ectiy’ou desire in your fur-
nishings? Does it not form
the true basis, the background,
for all other decorations ? If .
a roomrtis not quite to your"
liking have you thought what
an improvement the simple
change of a background will
accomplish ? " '
The 'cut pile carpet, with its
soft velvety effect and richness
of color, for reception rooms or
parlors. ‘ But they are deli-
:cate and easily show dirt and

American ingrain carpet.
The United States is the home
of ingrains—they are very lit-
tle used in other countries.
The people of this country
have long since known from
experience that the good all-
wool ingrain contains intrinsic
value. It is true. There is
no carpet manufactured that
has so much absolute value,
for the price, as an ingrain
The wearing qualities prove
it; with the proportion of

ture it cannot be otherwise.

SEVEN up} INJURED
An Accident In New York That Might
Have Been a Catastrophe.
THE LAW VIOLATED AGAIN.
rurty‘rons of Brick Fell, and Had It Not
- Been For the Wonderful Strength
of the Floor Great Loss of Life
Must Have Resulted.
NEW YORK, April 27.-—A gang of men
engaged in cleaning bricks at the Metro-
politan hotel, in Broadway, narrowly
escaped death by the collapse of the third
floor today. .
Seven men were injured. one perhaps
fatally. The injured are as follows:
Michael Eagan, 42 years old, of 252 West
Forty-seventh street, internally injured
and bruised.
' . Patrick Bolan, 24 years old, of 321 West
Eleventh street, contusion of right leg.
Cornelius Halton, 25 years old, of 509
East Sixteenth street, contusions of hand
and arm.
Patrick Martin, 28 years old, of 416
West Thirty-first street, contusions Of
chest and shoulders. ‘
James Duffy, 28 years old, of 408 East
Eighteenth street, contusion of left'arm
and legs.
John McDonald, 32 years Old, of 408
East Eighteenth street, contusions.
Michael Kennedy, 26 years old, of 634
East Seventeenth street, contusions right
shoulder and left leg.
Eagan. it is believed, is mortally injured.
He was removed to St. Vincent’s hospital
in an ambulance.
The others Were attended at the scene
of the accident and Went to their homes.
The men were engaged in cleaning bricks
on the third floor at Prince and-Crosby
streets. The bricks, which had been re-
moved from the walls, together with tons
of plaster and other rubbish, were scatter-
ed promisouousiy about the floor.
\Vhere the Accident Occurred.
The place where the accident occurred
is directly over the entrance to the Old
Niblo’s Garden. .
It is a narrow structure with independ-
ent walls, and it was intended to let it
stand until all of the other partially razed
walls were torn down and the brick and
debris removed.
The ceilings are 14 feet high. The men
were employed by F. W. Seigrist, a con-
tractor and secondhand building material
dealer, who is one of the complainants
against InSpecter McLaughlin, new on
trial on an indictment for bribery.
The walls of the two upper stories had
been torn down and most of the brick
and rubbish piled on the second and third
floors. There were at least 30 tons of it
on the third floor when the men were at
work. On the second floor were piles Of
lumber perhaps ten feet high and a quan-
tity of brick that had already been cleaned
ready for removal.
This was a most fortunate circumstance,
'for had the second floor been clear the im-
petus gained by the immense weight, in a
fall of 14 feet, must have been sufficient to
break through theother floors, burying at
least a score of men at work on the first
floor.
Foremen Are to Blame.
But the piles of lumber immediately un-
derneath prevented such a calamity, and
only those at work on the third floor were
injured.
Eagan was the only one who fell clear
through. He landed on a heap of rubbish,
fracturing several ribs and sustaining in-
ternal injuries and severe bruises. -
The others were injured by being thrown
against the walls and by falling bricks.
The police say that it is remarkable that
a casualty similar to that of the collapse
of the malthouse on the west side a few
weeks ago has not occurred in the razing
of this old landmark.
The foreman in charge of the work, they
say, have disregarded all safeguards and
unnecessarily imperiled the lives of the
laborers under them.
Several accidents have occurred there
heretofore, but not of a serious character.
The foreman refused any information to
the public, and therefore the facts never
became known.
Today the feremen denied that there had
been any such accident, and it was only
after threatening to make arrests that Po—
liceman Mullen was enabled to get any in-
formation.
Even then he was unable to get the
name of the foreman in charge of the seven
men and is not certain but that the
names- given are fictitious.
Matthews Would Take the Presidency.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 27,—In an inter-
view with Governor Matthews he gas
asked if he would take the Democratic
nomination for president if it were offered
him. His reply was: “Of course I would.
So would any citizen. If the governor of
a state says he would refuse to be so hon-
ored, you can put it down that his state-
ment is pure and simple afiectaticn. But
I am not a candidate, not a candidate for
anything—that is, in the sense Of seeking
the nomination.”
.-
Holland and Sugar Duty.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-—The state de-
partment has received a report from Min-
ister Quinby. at The Hague, Netherlands,
relating to the prices of sugar. He says
that a measure has just passed the second
chamber of the states general providing
for the readoption'of the suspension of ex-
port duty on Java sugar for one year from
June 1, 1895. This suspension was in
force from June 1, 1898, to June 1, 1894.
Afflicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mil of Lebanon, Conn,
says: “I was afflic with rheumatism in
my back all last winter. It was so severe
at times that I could not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side." I tried
different remedies without receiving an
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain s
Pain Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
.gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it to others and know
they have been benefited by its use. For

.élNDUSTBIES GAINING.
Dun’s Review Reports a More Hopeful
’ Condition of Trade.
CONFIDENCE NOW PREVAILS.
While Some Shops Are Closing llIany llIore
Are Resuming Operations—Prices of
Cotton Goods Are Rising—A
Great Boom In Building.
\
NEW YORK, April 27.-—-R. G. Dun &
Ce. ’5 weckly review of trade says:
Neither the rising in speculative mar-
kets nor the steady gain in industries has
ceased, and it is wholesome that there are
fewer signs of hesitation in the productive
industries than in speculative opriccs.
Wage strikes grow more numerous and
cause some trouble, and retail demand
lags behind wholesale-sales and jobbing
purchases behind production in some
branches, but through many conflicting
reports the fact shines out that the indus-
tries are gaining, not with a rush and a
whirl, but more safely. It is less clear
that railroads are increasing their earn-
ings, or that overproduction of cotton
will be cured by the advance of 1 % cents
in price,_ or that cornering short sellers of
wheat will help to market the large sur-
plus. But revival of activity in all these
directions, if possibly excessive in some,
helps confidence to take the throne so
long held by distrust.
Recovery is not often mathematically
equitable. When the load of depression is
lifted and men find that better things have
come to stay, there must be many contra-
dictory changes. Quite a number of works
have advanced wages during the week, but
strikes to compel an advance, possible for
some but not for others, have grown much
more numerous. Some shops are closing
for want of orders, but a larger number
are resuming work. Prices of shoes and
cotton goods are rising; wool and woolens
are lower. It would be a distinctly un-
natural movement, inviting only distrust,
if it were sympathetic and with equal step ‘
in all branches.
Doubt whether hides and whether leath-
er would be held at higher prices hindered
shoe manufacture for a time, but new job-
bers want to give more orders than manu-
facturers dare to take who have their leath-
er yet to buy. The hindrance is the ad-
vance in hides and leather, for while 7%
to 10 cents more is paid for shoes the
present cost f leather makes many 10 to
18 cents d' arcr. and 8 cents paid for west-
ern hides is said to mean higher prices yet
for some kinds of leather. Shipments
from Boston for the month have been 294,-
447 cases, against 284,615 in 1893.
Advances In Wages.
Cotton mills are getting more money
for goods and have quite generally ad-
vanced wages. Consumption of northern
spinners, at the maximum, would be in
eight months 1,350,000 bales, but they
have actually taken 1,950,000 and have a
profit on 600,000 bales controlled of over
$4,000,000. The consumption is large,
and advances seem to be warranted.
Iron production, stimulated because ore,
coke and oil were to be dearer, is retarded
by shrinking demand for products, for, on
the whole, new business is said to be
smaller than in February or March. The
structural demand for buildings through:
out the country was never larger. the
frenzy in Oil has started a large demand
for pipe and sheets slightly advance.
. Rails are stagnant, though a shade bet-
ter at Chicago; wire for fencing, for nails
and wire rods are so dull as to be scarcely .
quoted and bar, though lifted a shade,
meets no increased demand. Bessemer pig
and sales of southern pig in
northern markets have been large at 25
cents advance. Finished products are
nearly all at their lowest prices. Wool has
sold at the lowest price on record this
week, 16 cents for Ohio XX and 9 cents
for year’s Texas, and offers to clear off
stocks before new supplies come forward
tempt manufacturers to purchase beyond
present needs. Sales of foreign, 8,117,300
pounds~in three weeks of April against
9,292,000 domestic, make the total 17,409,-
800, against 15,906,100 in 1892. and less,
of course, in 1893 and 1894. Demand for
dr’ess goods continues large and improv-
ing. but uncertainty in men’s wear goods
continues and is somewhat increased by
more numerous strikes. Colored flannels
are 5 to 7% per cent lower. and an auction
sale is to be held, and some irregularity
appears in prices for fine fancy goods.
Bonds, Stocks, Etc.
London bought about $6,000, 000 worth
of stocks and bondsvherc this week, and
prices average 79 cents higher for railroads
and $1.30 for trusts. But the coal roads
again failed to agree and the 10Wcst prices
of the year prevail for that product. Loss
in earnings by granger roads is heavy,
and the aggregate of all roads reporting
in April is but 1.4 per cent better than
last year and 13.8 per cent less than in
1893.
Higher prices for wheat, 2% cents at
one time, but now only 1% cents. tend to
check Atlantic exports, which, flour in-
cluded, were only 1,868,873 bushels for the
Week, against 2,620,445 last year, though
for the previous two weeks about equal to
last year’s. Cotton touched 7 cents, reced-
ing to 6.93; 9,312,306 bales had come into
sight last week, and British exports of
goods were 120,000,000 yards less in the
first quarter this year than last. With
such facts, the rise does not help to lessen
southern acreage.
Bank exchanges in April, thus far, av-
erage daily 11.6 per cent more than last
year, but 16.3 per cent less than in 1893.
Money is.coming hither from the interior,
and a larger demand for commercial loans
appears, especially from manufacturing
towns in New England and from import-
ers. Imports last week were 37 per cent
larger than last year. and for the month
22.7 per cent; the increase being heavy in
dry goods, while exports from New York
were 8 per cent smaller for the week and
4 per cent for the month, than last year.
Foreign buying of stocks made exchange
easier, but government revenue does not
improve, falling $10,000,000 behind ex-
ports in April thus far.
days in April showod liabilities of $5,975,-
592. of which 82.682770 were of manufap—
Failures in 18'

turing and $3,288,722 of trading concerns.
The failures for the week have been 230 in
the United States against 179 last year
and 37 in Canada against 26 last year.
