NINE PERSONS KILLED.
An Awful Accident at 8 Railroad Cross-
ing In Tennessee.
CHATTANOOGA, Feb. 26.—Incoming ’pas-
senger train No. 7 of the Southern railway,
traveling at a high speed, struck a covered '
country wagon which was trying to clear
the tracks ahead of the train at Avondale
. crossing, four miles from here.
, , The wagon was hit squarely in the cen-
ter and with its ten occupants hurled high
into the air. The occupants were Mrs. W.
J. Woodward, her eight children and one
grandchild, all of whom, with one excep-
tion, were killed. ,
A striking feature of the catastrophe is
that no limbs were broken, but in nearly
every case the skull of the victim was
crushed, each body seeming, to describe an
ellipse through the air and to fall upon its
head. Several were found from 50 to 100
feet from the crossing.
Lizzie Montgomery descended to the
pilot of the locomotive and still held her
2-year-old sister in her lifeless arms. The
child escaped with a few scratches and was
the only one saved.
One Man Killed and One Injured.
JERSEY CITY, Feb. 26.-—George B. Hoo-
ver, aged 20 years, and R. J. Turner, aged
21 years, both of Philadelphia, while
walking on the Pennsylvania railroad
track near this city, were struck bya train.
Hoover was killed, and Turner was dan-
gerously wounded. ‘

Tlm improvement in Trade'llas Been
Gradual, but Constant.
CUR IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.
Effect of Rupture of Steel Rail and Other
Combinations In the Trade—Enor-
mous Increase In Demand.
The “'eek's Failures.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-—R. G. Dun 8:.
Co. ’s weekly review of trade says:
Genuine improvement in business does
not come with a rush, like the breaking
of a great dam. The growth for some
weeks past has "sen more encouraging
because in noel...’ all lines it has been
gradual and moderate. The rupture of
the steel rail and other combinations in
the ' iron business has brought out a vast
quantity of trade which had been held
back, and has set many thousand men at
work, while the slow but steady gain in
other great industries has given employ-
ment to many thousand more, but the full
effects will not appear until the increased
purchases by all these swell the distribu-
tion of goods. This comes more slowly
and later, but is already apparent. Cer-
tainty regarding- the future will help it,
mightily, and it is by multitudes expected
with strong hope. Meanwhile it is sub-
stantial ground for confidence that months
which were regarded by many in the
money market with serious apprehension
have passed without disturbance and with
steady: gain in the position of the country
and of the treasury.
It was not to be expected that the excess
of exports over imports would continue as
large in January as it had been in pre-
vious months, and yet it was surprisingly
large. The February returns have natu-
rally been less favorable. as cotton exports
fall Off at this season, and yet the decrease
compared with last year is trifling, while
the increase in imports. to be expect-ed at
this season, has amounted during the past
three weeks to only 3120,0113 cmupared
with last year, or about. 2 per cent. Noth-
ing in the state of foreign exchanges in-
dicates that the heavy credits in favor of
this country have been liquidated or scri-
ously diminished, nor has there been any
movement of securities this way from for-
eign markets, notwithstanding the dis-
turban are in these markets. lute-rust due
abroad on. securities March 1 has been
mainly covered by use of exchange held
here for some time past. C(rmmcrcial
loans are unusually f :7, and. it is cur-cur-
aging that payments both at the west and
at the south are so good that demand for
loans. is very light.
Many \Vorlzs Started.
The breaking of bonds which have re-
stricted many branches of the iron ind us-
try has been followed by an enorrious Eu-
creasc in demand and in orders bool-md and
by the starting of many works. Nothing
is yet settled about the price of lake ore for
the coming season, but some expect for
Mesabi the price of 1895, while others ex-
pect a lower price, either being at least 20
percent lower than the prices of last year.
The rapid increase in coke output in the
Connellsville region, which is now over
100,000 tons, gives prospect of moderate
cost for fuel, and the addition of important
furnaces to the producing capacity pro-
vents a large rise in bessemer pig, which
has nevertheless advanced 10 cents a: :‘itts-
burg with increasing demand. Pu: Eases
of rails, estimated at 1,000,000 tons \. .thin
two weeks, whereas the production last
year was 1,102, 892 tons and the sales Said
to be only $00,000, insure employment for
the works far ahead, and eastern works are
taking desirable contracts at $18 per ton.
Bars are unchanged, but orders for 900
cars by one railway, with ,numerous oth-
ers, increase the demand, and plates are
required for two great elevators at Chica-
go. Important contracts for export con-
tinue, and American makers undersell for-
eign in tin plates by 70 cents and are sell-
ing cotton ties below 75 cents for which
$1.10 was charged by importers a yearago.
With less rapidity, but yet steadily, oth-
er industries are gaining. Although brown
4 yard sheetipgs are an eighth IOWer, and
print cloths a‘ sixteenth lower, it is found
that several cotton mills have started, not
covered by the restriction as to print cloth
works, which is carried out. Increasing
demand has also started quite a number of
woolen mills, including many making
dress goods and hosiery. The demand for
men’s woolcns is also somewhat better, es-
pecially for heavy weights, and there are
improving sales of better qualities. Sales
of Wool have been 38,317,200 pounds in
four weeks against 22, 366,800 in the largest
previous year, 1892, and the great estab—
lishments are believed to. have supplied
their possible wants for 'some months
ahead, 0. single purchase of 1,300,000
pounds South American crlossbred being
the most important noted this week. In
boots and shoes, also, growing belief that
prices will not give way has started many
more shops, although many jobbers still
shrink from the prices asked.
“’lieat, Corn and Cotton.
Wheat enjoyed a. brief rise, then dropped
over 3 cents and closed _2 cents lower for
the week. While western receipts are 40
per cent, smaller than last year, for the
past four weeks, Atlantic exports, flour in-
cluded. in the some weeks have been
(3,218,089 bushels against 6,340,415 bush-
els' last year. and the exports of corn
have been 8,435,552 bushels against
4,195,282 last year. The increase
in corn more than makes up in foreign
consumption for the decrease in wheat.
Cotton has gained an eighth, though with-
out material change in movement. Better
reports of manufacturing in England and
starting of some mills here give hope that
the time of replenishment of dealers of
stocks is not far distant.
Stocks have not been demoralized, as
some expected in view of investigations,
but closed as high for trusts and a shade
higher for railroads, notwithstanding the
appointment of a receiver for'the Hocking
Valley. Earnings in three weeks of Feb-
ruary have been 5.5 per cent larger than
last year, but 8.8 per cent smaller than in
1892. Failures for the week have been 296
in the United States against 278 last year
and 50 in Canada against 58 last year.
