There has been a large Increase. In hume consumption and some Increase In exports. The total value of exports from the United State* for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1S87, wa* 047,000,000, of which New-York sent 033,OOO,OOO?figure* not materially differing from those of the year previous. The report closes with elaborate figures Illustrating the growth of New-York Cit*, H says: The pt?M message* of the Mayor have properly In? troduced the consideration of extensive plan* of practical alterations, lu which sanitary and economic considerations are considered. A Hoard of Municipal Kapld Transit ls proposed, with full powers to control locomotion In the city, open new and bapOOTO SM thoroughfare*. Changes In the method* of heating and lighting will be controlled by nome harmonious eTttem, and the supply of ts-ater be Increased, to the better comfort and greater health of the growing population. The elimination of passion from politics happily conduoe* to a union of men of all parties lu maas'if's of ni'tnlcip.ii concern. Witt a public spirit rn.u.1 to the demands all these chin?' s Impose, nothing yet reached In municipal grandeur la beyond the Jun aspiration of New-York. And her I' may tte properly asked. If lt be not the true policy to unite New-York ind all lu environs under one general tcheme of municipal rule. BURNED BT THE LAMP THE MOTHER HELD TIIRIE CHILDREN WRAPPED IN A BED Or- FLAMES? TWO DIE AFTER HOCUS OK PAIN'. While Knill Falst. a German carpenter out of work, was visiting his mother !n I'nlon Hill, >'. J., on Sun? day night, his wife and three of kll ch ld mn were burned in tho tenement ho.tse No. 1,050 Tenth ave. Ilefore he returned to the city yesterday two of the children had died In a hospital. The family moved from thc tenement house No. SUI West Forty eighth st lo rooms on the third floor of the Tenth ave. house about a week ago. Mrs. Falst sent her two little girls to stay with her parent* In West Ncw-Yoik. f>he sat up late on Sunday night expecting f at Falst would return from Union Hill. Her three little boys, Knill, age nine, 1'hsrles, age lix, and George, the baby, wero asleep In on* bed. One of them made au outcry, and Mrs. Faltt went Into tho bedroom to see what was the matter. She held a lighted kerosene oil lamp In her hand aa she bent over the bod. Frobably tho un? steady motion of her hand, or the sccidenUl t'pplng Of the lamp, caused some of tho oil to overflow. Tho lamp suddenly exploded In her hand and fell on tho bed. Her loft hand and wrist were burned severely, and she was frightened so much that at the moment she lost her presence of mind. Her screams B***B?1 the children and alarmed all the other Inmates of the house. Emil, the oldest boy, sprang up from bed and es? caped with slight burns on his arm and hand. Mrs. Falst was almost blinded by tbe smoke and flames, but sJie mode an effort fn get Charles and tho baby nut of the bed. J. P. Smith, of No. 1,080. Tent have., happened to be pasting the house ai the time of the ox plo-lon. He ran upstairs after shouting to a police? man on the block to follow him. The two men helped to rescue Charles and the baby and to pnt out the flames that were binning Mrs. Falst's dress, occu? pants of the house brought water In peile and pul out the fire In the bcd before much damage had been done lu tho property. An ambulance carried Mrs. Falst and her three sons to the Roosevelt Hospital. The surgeons found that the woman had not oeen burned seriously, and they sent her home with her son BBB? The two youngest boys were burned from head to foot In places and were beyond human aid. Charles tiled after a few hours of ?ufferlug, and ton minutes later George, the baby, died. -? ?. HASTING WOMES FOR COMMISSIONERS A COMMITTEE URGES MATOR CB?FIB TO TUT SOME e.V TBE B(->KD OF EDL'CATIO.V. Mayor Chapln received a visit yesterday from a committee which urged upon him tho advisability of appointing women as members of th* Board of Educa? tion, fifteen places In which ho will soon fill. Tho women on the committee were Mrs. A. K. Wing, Mrs. BL M. Goff. Miss Emma Low. Mrs. W. W. I h.xpnian and Mrs. I. II. Cary, and thoy were accompanied by tho llev. Dr. Shirrs, General S. I,. Woodford and IC. W. lllnrichs, who were appointed at a recent pub? lic meeting to act in the matter. Dr. Btorn said that Ure committee represented many persons. It wa.s not a political action nor an effort to extend the movement for suffrage for womon. Hut I hrs Intro? duction of women In the Hoard of Education might elevate its character, and women had more limo and leisure to devote to educational Interests than men. There were fifty women teachers to each, man teacher and tho former should hav* somo voice In tho con? trol of school interests. K. W. lllnrichs said that although a majority of tho women teachers opposed any chango In the Hoard he believed lt would be of advantage to tho members of the body to have women associated with them In their duties. Mr. lilnrlch* was formerly a member of the Hoard. When tho Mayor asked If there were any women willing to accept the position, Mrs. Caty promised to submit a list of names on condition that they were not to be published utile-* appointments were made. Mn. Cary so strongly urged the matter of appoint? ing women in the board that she told the Mayor that the step might make him Governor, no Was visibly embarrassed, but answered that he did not know how that entered into the problem. Mayor* Gow and Whitney declined to act upon similar sug? gestions for Ihe appointment of women on tho Hoard. UAEINE INTELLIGENCE. MINIATURE ALMANAC! To-?AT.
