THE IRoSToN DEMOCRAT. Some

printing offices in Charleston and 10
quired of a boy how many papers

not a lie, there were at the time that
many there. Ironton will soon have
that many if she keeps on; one Of our
exchanges says, "we already have six
exchanges in Ironton, but we well
come another one" Itis seldom that
the papers in town are so uniformly
good Us they are in lronton, barring
their politics. The Democrat has a
hard row to hoe, but truth is mighty

THE Commercial saws, "now a man

value for his word &c" In the same

steadily advanced, and American
securities abroad have deprecated to

We do not propose to contradict

A special dispatch from Pittsbure

A special dispatch from Pittsburg
says:
The J. ". Morgan injured two of
her barges BY striking them against
the tow of the Boaz, and ut last &C
counts they were in sinking condi-
ton, near jacks Run. The Sam
Brown stuck two of her barges at
the Clusters. The Mary Davage,
while coming up the river, flying
light. about two o'c'ock this morning,
run under, and sunk almost instantly,
nearly opposite DIxmont Hospital,
some eight or ten miles below Pitts
burgh. 1t is said that she vent
down in about a Minute, and that the
engineer, firemen and Others made a
narrow escape with their lives, and
but for the fact that she only sunk to
about within two feet Of her boiler
deck, everybody on board would
doubtless have been drowned. s'he
belongs to n. J. Bigley " Co, coal
merchants, who value herat SIC, 900.
She had taken part Of tow Of coal
down the river some distance tor an
other boat. and WAS on her way back.
She lies straight, ard can probably
be raised without much difficulty.

Mullet, the supervising architect OF
the Treasury Department, has re-
signed, but his resignation was to
take effect con the appointment OF
his successor" As the President Is
friend of Mullet's and does not
wish him to vacate the Office, he will
not appoint a successor, and conse-
quently Mullct's resignation goes for
nought,
1t was the same case with Casey,
the Presidents brother-in-law, who Is
COLLECTOR Of the Port OF New Orleans.
A pressure vas brought to bear ON
him some year or more ago, on &c
count of his crimes and blunders,
that caused him to resign, "to take
effect on the appointment OF his sue
cessor." Of course Grant is not GO
ing to turn his brother ia-law out OF
office, so he will never appoint MS
successor. He leaves that for the
next administration TO do.

and closed as follows" We cannot
give the whole list, but the range
was from 1929 lowest to 1901 highest.
These figures show that gold was
lower in price fornearly two weeks at
ter the election and has now slightly
advanced on account of q speculative
demand. and that Government bonds
have steadily increased in value ever
since the election,

Judge F. Q Ashhurn, of Batavia,
Clermont county, Ohio, and a young
lady very highly esteemed by her
friends. We learn of no reason why
she should have committed this rash
act. Her age was % years. She
was in poor health, and depressed in
spirits, and had been stopping in
Marietta only since last Wednesday.
