A Bareiootcd Bondholder over
In Ohio.

From the CAdIz Republican,
We had a very pleasant call on Tues
day morning from our friend James
Walker, who lives near Uniontown, Bel.
mont county. James had walked from
Uniontown, some twelve miles, and was
In Cadiz shortly after six o'clock in the
morning. He took an early start to
avoid the heat OF the day, and besides, the
cool ground was more pleasant to his
bare feet. James doesn't wear shoes in
summer time. He always dresses plain.
! On this occasion pair OF white cotton
pantaloons with muslin suspenders, a
Shirt, and hat, was all the clothing with
which he was encountered. James does
his banking business in Cadiz, and had
come up to attend to his financial affairs,
clipping OF coupons from'his Govern
ment bonds, &c.,-for James has money
enough 70 dress Just as he pleases,
and to. travel around just us much
and in the style that suits him, and he
does it. james doesn't read the newapa'
pers, or other worldly literature, but he
Informs us that he has read the Bible
through seven times, and is now as far as
Isaiah on the eighth trip. James has
neither wife nor child, but devotes his en-.
tire attention to his Bible and his Bonds.
He has little treasure laid up here, and
he wants little over there, as WELL =
enough to keep him above actual wantin
either place. When James crosses over,
we will write him up splendid obituary,
recounting all his good deeds to the poor,
&c, il he will only be thoughtful enough
to leave usa few OF those Government
Bonds, that he will then have no longer
any particular use for.

Trade and Manufactures.

American Manutacturer
In less than four weeks from the date
OF the first shipment 1000 barrels OF oil
have been shipped via the Ohio river and
The Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. The
saving in freight is very great, amounting
in one instance to so cents per barrel
notan insignificant item.
The first rolling mill in Pittsburgh was
built in 1911, on the ground now occu-
pied bv the Fourth Ward school house.
The second was built in 1919, on ground
now owned by ]. L. Lewis, situated on
Second avenue, near the Birmingham
bridge; and in this mill was done the first
pudding in America. This mill blew up
In 1929, and was not rebuilt, the owner,
Mr.. McNicle, taking 4 part OF the ma.
chinery to CovingtOn, KY, where he built
another mill.
The entire supply ofmill iron in yards
OF commission merchants Is estimated at
10000 to $4,000 tons, and the stock oi
foundry grades ia also light. Further
more, as nearly all the iron coming for
ward is being placed on contracts, there
Is not likely 10 be any accumulation soon
and the supply Is steadily being reduced
The production is also light, as but COM
paratively few Of the furnaces either here
or at those points tributary to this
market are in blast, and. those in opera
ton are working on orders, The out
look at present, il, to say the least, con-
siderably mixed. While in some respects
it is favorable to the producer, in others
il Is not.

DR. LEMoYSEs cremation project
seems to be exercising all sorts Of bad ell
fects on the public mind up at Washing
ton, Pa. A writer in the O6'errer pro
test, apuins. il as likely to seriously inter
fare not only with the spiritual but like,
wise the material prosperity Of that com
mnnity. We quote from his cOmmuni'
cation as follows:
An effort is now being made to intro
duce into this Christian community, with
n population Of five thousand souls, with
eleven churches, with largely attended
College and a prosperous Female Semi
nary the system Of cremation. A serious
question is presented to every citizen
whether they will permit it to be done
What will be its effect upon the prosper
ity Of our borough? Property will de
preciate, the College and Seminary will
scarcely have an existence, because par
ents will refuse TO send their children tc
a town wherein such principles are taught
and business in every branch will be par
alyzed; and the borough OF Washington
celebrated for its learning, its wealth, it
resources, become a by.word, despised
scorned, and spurned, instead oil being
respected and honored.

Edward A. Davis was before the Con.

testified as follows: In 1874 | was called
upon by J. Hale sypher to take the con.
tract for the light house repairs. He
took me to Capt. Morse, Superintendent
Of Construction at the Custom House
and asked for the contract. It was
for 5000. I accepted 1t and signed
il and gave it to sypher. After, that he
called for me to 60 and get the money,
saying the work was done. Ibid not do
any work at all, and was surprised when
he told me the,work was done. He gave
me a check and we went to the cashier d
the Collectors Office and got five $1,000
bills, which Sypher took. Sypher was a
member Of Congress. He sad be would
reimburse ME, but failed to do so. His
brother afterwards gave me Sl25.

WEare indebted to Mr.. G. D. Hall for
copy OF a New York paper arriving at
Pittsburgh on Thursday by the Trans.
Continental fast train that left New York
at l:O3 that morning and reached Pitts
burgh at 1899 the same forenoon, travel.
ing all the way (4I4 miles at an average
OF A miles per hour, and at times at a
mile a minute.
On the margin Of this paper we find the
following memorandum: -t.
"This paper left New York l A! NJ,
Philadelph time; reached Pittsburgh
1884 Al NJ, Columbus time: left for Wheel
ing lao p. NJ, same time"
We are sorry to say that it did not
seem to have left Pittsburgh according to
this schedule. 1t is postmarked at that
city ut4P. NJ. Thursday, but did n9t
reach us until r. NJ, the next day. In
other words it took twice as long to come
from Pittsburgh here as from New York
to Pittsburgh. Such is life when you
get of the trans Continental highway,
which, just at present, seems to be Tom
Scotts railroad.

TnIxosseem to be looking up for Bris-
tow in West Virginia Notwithstanding
the resolution OF the CIarksburg Conven-
tion. We think that the Richie Gazette
and the Parkersburg Times may now be
counted on that side. The Preston Jour
nal is square out that way, and the Graf
ton, Sentinel Of yesterday makes the fol.
lowing remark:
"The Richie Ga.eQe is Of the opinion
that Bris,ow is the only man that can carry
West Virginia for the Presidency. As we
always like to be on the side that beats
OF course we are for Bristow. Stand over

THE indications are that regular lock
out has set in Mt Pittsburgh between the
mill owners and the puddlers. The facts
are fully set forth in another column and
do not need any special comment from us
by way Of explanation. There could be
no season OF the year, perhaps, when a
general suspension OF work would be less
likely to embarrass manufacturing opera
tions at Pittsburgh than just now. The
new card, adopted recently under pen
altics, has made very dull market for
manufactured iron OF all kinds, SO much
40 that it has seemed doubtful whether
despite the penalties, it could be main
tanned. A lockout will have the tendency
to give additional backbone to the new
schedule Of prices and reduce stocks or
hand to a point where operations can be
resumed at profit. -
At the same time, il the lockout shall
have the effect to thin out the overcrowd'
ed labor market at Pittsburgh, and lead
those now out OF employment to seek
other fields, as for instance agricnlIure,i'
will not be without benefit all around
The highly stimulated condition Of the
iron business before the panic drew intt
it mot only too much Of the capital, bu
likewise far too much Of the labor Of th'
country, to the great detriment of both
as results have abundantly shown.
