GREENWICH, Conn., Dec. 25.—In ignorance that an explosion which had shaken the house was more than a trivial affair, the guests of Charles H. Mallory at Byram shore last night continued their merriment. It was several hours later that they learned that in the explosion James Mackey, lost his life, several thousand dollars’ worth of damage had been done. Mallory, who is the head of the steamship line of that name, had a score of friends: from New York and | Brooklyn for a house party and they had just begun to play cards when a gas tank In a greenhouse 350 feet from the residence blew up. The de- tonation was heard for five miles. It shattered every pane of glass in the greenhouses on the estate and the windows on one side of the home. It blew a servant off his feet and brought the guests from their seats. Mackey's body was later found 100 feet from the explosion by his wife, who had gone in search for him. The guests, though startled, did not real- ize the extent of the accident until the party broke u; EDUCATORS OUTLINE CONVENTION PLANS National Association Will Meet in San Francisco Next July.

WILKESBARRE, Pa., Dec. 20.—After being entombed in a mine for eight days, | Joseph Davis, a Pole, was rescued to-day unconscious, but soon revived.

RADE FOR YEAR BREAKS RECORD High Marks in Agricultural, Financial, Speculative and the Industrial Circles LABOR WELL EMPLOYED Railroad Earnings and Steel Give Full Evidence of the Continuation of Prosperity NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—Dun’s weekly Teview of trade to-morrow will say: Unseasonably mild weather accentuated the customary holiday dullness in the distribution of merchandise, but grat- itying results of Christmas trade es- tablished a strong tone, and confidence regarding the future is more pro- | nounced. Outdoor work is facilitated by the high temperature and the lack of snow, making the year’s total of building operations even greater.than the most sanguine expectations. Trade in furs and heavy clothigg is unfavor- ably affected by the open winter. but the net result is most satisfactory. It is gratifying to manufacturers to find that no burdensome accumulation of Sstocks has occurred. despite recent record-breaking production. Statements of railway earnings con- tinue satisfactory, figures thus far avallable for December showing an av- erage gain of 6.9 per cent over 1904 Foreign commerce at this port was re- markably favorable, exports gaining $2,063,129 and imports Increasing | $4,161,897 as compared with the same | week last year. | Light trading in hides has not weak- | ened quotations. - Foreign dry hides | have the additional support of advices | from the River Platte that the slaugh- | ter will indicate a considerable de- crease. | Failures this week numbered 221 in | the United States, against 221 last year, and 27 in Canada, compared with 37 last year. | Bradstreet's to-morrow will say: in | wholesale trade, clearing sales and stock-taking operations absorb atten- | I® tion, but it is noted that operations for spring account are larger than or- dinarily, and, in fact, business is | heavier than expected at_ this season. | Staples generally rgaintain their old | strength. Irou and steel lead the in- dustries in strength of demand and | prices, finished steel being particularly actiye for this season, though pig- iron sales are fair at the West and | open weather favors \unprecedented production. Labor is exceptionally well employed for this season. January is likely to see few strikes in the print- ing trades. Additional reports as to trade in the year now closing point to 1305 as hav- ing been a record breaker alike in ag- ricultural, speculative, financial and industrial circles. As a whole, how- | ever, primacy must be assigned to the | manufacturing industry, which shows the largest gains over ‘all preceding | years. Business failures in the United States for the week ending December 28 num- ber 2132, against 235 last week and 218 in the like week of i904. In Canada faflures for the week number 24, | against 88 last week and 20 in this | week a year ago. | Wheat (including flour) exports for | the week ending December 28 are 8,448,148 bushels, against 4,473,482 last | week and 9SL740 this week last year.

BOSTON, Dec. 29.—The recent rise in copper stocks on the Boston Board of Trade was an important conltributs ing cause to the suspension to-day of the stock brokerage firm of H. R.| Leighton & Co., which assigned for the benefit of its creditors. Although the | firm is not a member of any stock exchange, the '“assignment was ad- Judged of considerable importance from the fact that the firm has some forty branch offices, all but three of them in New England. The assignee is Charles E. Allen, a lawyer of this city. The firm stated that the suspension was due to the failure of a member of the Boston Stock Exchange to meet his obligation to the company and to | outstanding investments. No financlal statement wasTissued, but it is thought the liabllities may reach $500.000. Almost all the larger cities of New England are affected by the suspen- ston. There are several hundred cred- itors throughout New England and Canada. The fallure had no -effect upon the stock market. ————— Try the United States Laundry. <004 Market street.

Moreover, the body must be placed in the coffin issued by the quartermaster’s depart- ment.

His commanding officer wished to send his body te his relatives for burial and, de- siring a better coffin than was supplied by the quartermaster’s department, which was allowed to spend $30 for that purpose, he offered to supply the |* necessary additional funds.
