The commission is composed of Inspector Gilpin, Deputy Inspector W. Madden, Henry Mitchell, and A. Dick. The work of the commission was directed mainly to an investigation of the con dition of the Foord pit. The mine has been on fire in one place or an other since the fifties, and it is burn ing yet. Explosion after explosion has occurred. and many lives have been lost. Whea fire broke ont ir one place the miners resorted to au other, sinking a new shalt. To avoid the fire on an upper level, a shaft wa;; sunk and coal taken ont on the level immediately below the fire. Soon the fire came through, and again the min ers were driven out. Nothin; that the owners could do availed to dr:ve out the fire, and the splendid mine has been practically abandoned, thou.Ih :t little coal is now being taken ont on a level below a part that ison fire.

Fall Trade Opening More Favorably at the South. Bradstreet's report for the past week says: rhe week is characterized in trade circles )y an unexpected, but no less pronounced, mprovement, South and West. This is -eflected at the markets from which supplies irc distributed to these regions. At the South, fall trade is opening tip more treely than anticipated, with marked im provement in business and increased confl ience as to the outlook at Jacksonville. At lanta and Augusta. The imiprovernent in ron has had ari influence at Birmnglhaa and throughout the trib,tary region, all evi Jenve of which is found in thp tempo'rary in ability ofBirminqham wjol1te'rs to rmt-ut the demand for hardware and grocer-is. Aside from the lirmnuss of ,tt-in goods iriecs, which is a feature in trit cierles Nrth and East, the iost e.ospicius novement is the continued activity in iron and steel. highest quotations yi reached having no efo-et in restricting demand. At Chicago relatively more orders are received rr.m the South and Southw.est than ever before. Revised estimates from Texas point to only halt a a tton crop: but trade is Pc tive and the outlook favorabl beemw::e of .1 greater relative increase in the price of cot. ton than the reduction in out-turn. The Louisiana sugar crop is reported from 15 per cent. to 20 per cent. smaller than that of last year.

Indian corn, pork, lard and sugat. 1le-n"tions are re ported fn prices for cotton and1 hides. On the other hand higher coal prices have ap peared at New York and Philadelphia and the prospect is for furthe:. advances all along the line. In addition to higher quo ations for cedar, prices for almost all standard varieties of cotton goods are higher aud tend upward. Thea there is the .4 advance in steel rails, the latter now being on a parity with quotati ns for billets. Total of business failures throughbout the United States this week number 213 as com pared with 184 last week, 223 in the second week of Sptornber, 1894; 300 in that week in 1893, and 143 in the corresponding period of 1.892. 3ISSIONARY 3MASSACRE CASES. China Refuses to Punish the Ring Leaders. Gunboats Ordered Up the River. fa consequence of the attitude of obstruc 'tion assumed by the Chinese officials toward the progress ei the inquiry into the recent outra-es at Kuoheng, and their refusal to carr. out the sentences imposed by the ex amining court upon the ring-leaders in the attacks upon the Christian missionaries at that place, two gun-boats have been ordered to ascend the river to demand tte enforce ment of the penalties imposed. A rebellion has begun in the Province of Fo Kien and the local officials, instead of at tempting to suppress the rising, have fled. A force of imperial troops are on their way to the scene to try to put down the insurreo, tion. TnE LATEST ABOUT THE ISvEsTIGATION. The State Department at Washington Is without advices regarding the alleged latest phase of the Chinese situation in regard to a refusal of the ( hinese government to exe cute any of the men convicted of being par ticipants in the missionary massacre unless they are assured that upon the execution of these men all other demands will cease. Ac cording to the latest information of the De partment, the Kucheng commission was at work with its labors uncompleted, and zt investigation had not been begun. No dis patches have been received from Minister Denby, but they are expected this week and are awaited with interest. 'he Last Member of a Poisoned Fami ly Dies.

FARMER BAILEY2 ESOAPE, AND TIIE IKATE EXt'ERTENCE OJi JOIIN Ir. .O . TJN. A Ia:'py Itelease A'ter it.,th Trad About - - Given Up. Trom the Caucasian, Clinton. K. C. We had been reliably informed that J. P. Baly, of Warsaw, Dublin Co., N. C., had been eur'd of c'onsumpt:ion, and sent a re. porter to see him aad make a report belier ing that the facts would be welcome to m-an raers of this paper. We foun-i Mr. Baile3 strong in the belief ti.at he ha.1 had con. sumption, though his physician, Dr. W. P E enndy, stated the case in a little differen way. The doctor said: "~Mr. BaIey was suffering from overwor and chronic malarial poisoning, withi some of he symptoms of chronic rheumatism and a general rn-down condition of his system. "Boils prevented him from work a part o the time. Bronchitis and. spitting of bloot were sources of great annoyance to him." t is probably true that the doctor was cor ret, though without doubt Mr. Bailey woul eventually have gone into consumption, as this disease frequently follows the symptoms and conditions above given. He was thor oughly cured, however. Mr. Bailey said t< the reporter: "In the spring of '04 I began farm work Soon I found my health failing and a hact. ingecough my constant companion. I grew so weak that I could no longe> work. My cough became so severo that: was unable to sleep, and I was constantil spitting up lolod and corruption. My phy sian could give me no re.ief and I contin ued to grow weaker and weaker. I hadi wel nigh given up all hopa .:> lihing. much lis being restored to my usis strength when friend called my attention to estimonials a to the v.dlue of Dr. Williams' Pink P.lls fo Pale People. I at once left oiT using tb mediciue prescribed by my physician an began to take the rink Fiils. I felt the goe< efeets of this wonderful medicine withis t b ree days. In less than t wo months' timi I was a 'well man, andi three boxes of Dr Wiiamn Pink Pills did the wor.. "Is it any wonder," qu:eriedl Mr. DBailey Abat I sitng the virais'-z of Dr. Willia'n Pink Pills when they huar (lone so muc! for :' ? But for the timely us;e of them would to-day be in rmy g -ave and I want th world to know of their incaleulable value a a meicino. The reporter having heard that Mr. Johi . Loitin, of Warsaw, had been cured o rheumatism by the use of three boxes of D. Williams' Pinik Pio, interviewed him wit1 the felc wizg result. Said Mr Loftin: "Isuf fere l intensely vwith rheumatism for te, onh.Iwe,s entirely helph-ss for tw, mnh.Itried various remedies but non of them' did mie acy good.

One of the schemes for future en gineers to work at, says an article i1 Curret-i, Literature, will be the sink ng of a s!--ft 12,00) to 15,000 feet into the earth for the purpose of util izing the central heat of the glob,. It is said that such a depth is by no means impossible with the improved machinery and advanced methods of the coming engineer. Water at a temperature of 200 degrees centigraile, which can; it is said, be obtained from these deep boring,; would not only heat houses and pnblio buildings, butwould furnish power that could be utilized for many purvoses. Hot water already at han,l is necessarily much cheaper than that which must be taken when cold and brought n-, to the required temperature. Once the shaft is sunk, all ccst in the ite:n of the hot water supply ceases. The pipes, if good, will last indetinitely, and, as nature's stokers never allow the fire to go out, there would come in the train of this arrangement many advantages. When, by sinking a shaft in the earth, we can secure a perpetual heating apparatus which %e can regulate by the turning of a key, one trial of life will fade into nothin. resa It is now a law in Pecunylvania that no sectarian garb shall be worn by teachers in the public schools.
